ஜ Chapter 7: Friends ஜ
And so the nauseous feeling returned.
He opened his mouth to respond, but nothing witty came to mind.
He thought Shizuo wouldn´t say anything. He thought he really wouldn´t. He wasn´t prepared for this.
"Goddamn, Shinra!" the blond barked.
"You weren´t supposed to say anything!" A growling rumbled in his chest- though, he didn´t use any violence. Something that the raven had often seen between these two. Shizuo actually never hurt Shinra. Sure, he often looked like he was about to strangle him to death or threatened he would, but he never actually did.
It was a weird kind of friendship. Most of the time, Izaya thought it looked like Shizu-chan didn´t even like Shinra.
The future doctor raised his hands in defense- "I don´t really think Izaya would have actually left you in peace anyway, so it doesn´t really matter, ne Izaya?"
Though Izaya didn´t feel like replying at all.
He felt numb as he shrugged. Even his shoulders felt heavy. He knew that it wasn´t from the fever anymore, though.
He had felt better ever since he got out of the bus.
But... what should he do to make Shinra forget?
Maybe ignore him? Until he forgets it? No, he would deem it as suspicious.
Lie about it? No. He would just need to check. And Shinra wasn´t as stupid as Shizuo; Shinra might be able to realize something other, than just being beaten up once or twice.
He might see. They might find out about his father.
That couldn´t happen.
No way.
No.
"Guess so," he shrugged, trying to sound casual as he answered the former question. His tongue felt weary in his mouth and he tried to swallow that unpleasant lump in his throat.
No need to panic.
No one found out anything.
Everything was okay.
And suddenly, there was the bus driver, waving from the front as a sign to get back in.
He had found the right way.
As if it were a sign, Izaya got up from the ground quickly, this time making sure he wasn´t going to nearly pass out from the simple fast movement.
He caught the blond looking at him- only agitating him further.
"What are you staring at me for?" he glared, turning around to walk back to the bus.
If the blond followed or not, he couldn´t care less. For a single second he worried if it looked strange how he escaped so quick- he didn´t know.
"Totally hurt his pride, there." Shinra grinned, making Shizuo look at him with a raised eyebrow. He was only now getting up from the ground.
"What?" But the doctor didn´t even wait for him and just ran after the flea.
"Come on Izaya, who was it? Was it one of those guys you lead that gambling ring with?" Izaya stopped, finally having reached his seat and turned around, facing the future doctor.
The students were staring at them, as well as the teachers.
Really now. Only Shinra would yell something like that out aloud without giving a single fuck about anyone else hearing what he says.
Or maybe he did and wanted to get him into trouble? It wouldn´t be the first time Shinra pulled stuff like that.
He shrugged once more, finding himself getting accustomed to this way of neither admitting nor denying information.
It was pathetic. He could lie better that that usually-
"Maybe."
But it was actually the perfect excuse. He couldn´t actually simply say it was what Shinra thought, because if one of those two found out he disbanded the gambling ring after that incident with Shinra, then it would be obvious he lied.
Plain obvious, and it would throw up questions. Questions about why he lied, about who it really was, and he wouldn´t be able to keep Shinra at bay if that happened.
"I bet it was. You should know that it´s not a good idea already," Shinra argued, almost sounding like he was trying to lecture Izaya, but then again, behind that mocking face he actually did look somewhat worried.
"Don´t want anyone to come and stab you, ne?" ...
That was one thing that was so weird about Shinra. He was the only person besides Shizuo that he wasn´t able to read at times.
"Gambling? What are you doing? Shady flea." Speaking of the protozoan… now he had entered the bus, as well.
Izaya shuffled back to his seat without another word.
The bus doors closed, and the driver continued the ride.
"Izaya once ran a gambling ring with some guy called Nakura. And I think he still does somewhere, no?" Izaya sighed as he eyed the bespectacled boy still standing there. Of course Shinra didn´t sit down again in the first row.
"And that puny little guy really got you? No wonder you were so quiet last time." Izaya felt the need to deny such a ridiculous thing.
But then again, he could do nothing but to affirm their conclusion.
"So what? Who cares? Now leave me alone, I want to sleep." He glanced at Shinra, who was still standing there, using his hands to keep a hold of the seats so he wouldn´t fall over during the drive.
"And you go to the front before you vomit on us." With that, he turned towards the window once more. "I´m sleeping again."
He didn´t feel like talking to them anymore, and due to Shizuo having witnessed how he hadn´t been feeling too well before, it was quite probable that he wouldn´t bother him anymore, and that he would make Shinra leave if he really wanted to be much more of a pest.
"You are so grumpy," Shinra whined, but that was all he said. Izaya didn´t listen to him anymore.
His thoughts had trailed elsewhere anyway.
Friends.
They sure were an odd thing, weren´t they? Even though he hated to admit it, Shinra was the only one he considered something like that.
... sometimes he wondered why that was. Half of the school took a liking to him. He won writing contents, and aced whatever exams they had. He knew there were people who adored him. It would be easy to strike a conversation with them.
Maybe some of them could even become his friends. But then again, he didn´t want to make any more friends than Shinra.
Shinra, was okay.
He never pried, he accepted it when he simply didn´t give him a piece of information he was curious about. Sure, he would nag, but that's it. He was too obsessed with his real/ imaginary girlfriend.
It was a good point about him. A really good point.
... his siblings were at a friend´s place, too. Right now.
He had made sure they would be having a fun week. Not that their father had ever done anything to them. No of course not, he was the perfect husband and daddy, ne?
He never did anything mum could realize or make her suspicious.
Still, Izaya felt uneasy imagining that he might just do something to them one day.
In a moment of blind rage, or when he just wasn´t there- no way...
The thought alone caused him nightmares.
So he made sure the two would be sleeping over at three friend´s places. They were really excited about it when Izaya told them. And their mum was away, so-
Father could rot in hell at home.
"Oi, are you really sleeping, flea?" Izaya blinked, opening one eye to glance at the brute.
"Why?" he asked, wondering just a bit what the blond wanted, but the answer was clear pretty soon, as the bus suddenly stopped.
"Well, because we're here."
Really. Izaya looked out of the window, realizing that the driver had obviously found their lodgings.
Some sort of student hostel he assumed.
Only when he turned around, he noticed how Shizu-chan was looking at him.
His eyes narrowed.
"What?" He didn´t like that look.
"You alright to jump around like a flea, or do I have to carry you again like a sack of potatoes?" Izaya rolled his eyes, getting up from his seat. The blond moved aside as he got out of the bus.
"Don´t worry, you don´t have to touch me ever again in your life."
As if he would let him. Before, that was just a mistake, a fluke because he was a bit out of it.
The next time he tried shit like that, he would slash him again, right across that scar on his chest from their first meeting.
He actually felt better, though.
"Students, please gather in front of the bus," the teacher announced as she got out of the vehicle.
Shinra and his friend had already gotten off the bus; they were standing in front of the bus, their suitcases already ready.
And again, Shinra seemed to be happily chatting away with the new guy. Suddenly, clapping was heard.
"We will start giving you your room numbers now- After bringing your suitcases to your rooms and unpacking, we will be expecting you at the dining hall at 7pm," another one of the teachers stated. "First, the leftover rooms," she announced, adjusting her glasses as she read of a list in her hands.
"Kishitani-kun and Sukogawa-kun, room 103." Shinra grinned, elbowing the guy next to him. Only now, Izaya started to realize what those leftover rooms were for.
He never chose a room- ahhh crap.
"Orihara-kun and Heiwajima-kun, room 104." The blond who had just gotten his suitcase from the bus turned around immediately, almost dropping it again.
... wait what?
"You are fucking kidding me." Izaya practically snorted as he heard the response. Well. The second he realized, he predicted a reaction like that.
"I´m sorry, but both of you were absent when we were discussing the rooming situation." Izaya had to give the teacher some credit, she actually didn´t seem to be too intimidated by the blond. Izaya turned to face the blond, only to stare back at glaring eyes.
"You fucking planned that, flea! What did you do away from school?!" Izaya snorted. Really now.
Shizu-chan didn´t have too many brain cells in his head.
"We were fighting on the roof, protozoan. That´s why we both aren´t on the list."
A blink followed, then he lowered the suitcase he had been wielding over his head again.
... right.
Izaya glanced at the other teachers. They seemed to be somewhat relieved.
"I bet they are glad they put both of the troublemakers in one room." Shizuo glared at Shinra, who was the owner of the unnecessary comment.
"I´m not a troublemaker," he clarified, but Shinra argued.
"Yeah, but Izaya is one and then makes you cause trouble, making you, Shizuo, a troublemaker."
...
Shizuo frowned, but couldn´t exactly complain about that logic. After all, it was the flea that always made him use this unwanted violence.
Annoyed, he grabbed his suitcase and stomped of into the direction of the hotel. Fucking pissed him off.
One whole week.
With that flea.
Great.
Almost smashing the entrance door open Shizuo searched for his room.
104.
He glanced around, realizing that the number one was indicating it was on the first floor.
... well, at least he didn´t have to walk up some annoying flight of stairs.
Stomping over he scanned the signs: 102, 103- there it was.
"Hmm, pretty neat."
"Yeah, it really is!" Annoyed, Shizuo glanced over his shoulder. Of course the flea was there, commenting on the room, but Shinra?
Izaya seemed to have the same thought as he looked over at the future doctor.
"Is there any reason you are following us around? Your room is next door, you know." Their brunet friend just grinned, shaking his head.
"I know, but I wanna see who kicks the bucket first on the trip."
Izaya raised an eyebrow. "You really think he would be able to kill me?"
"Well, I wouldn't put it past you to pull some shit on Shizuo while he sleeps, and Shizuo might just get too annoyed and silence you once and for all." Shizuo was about to argue that he wouldn´t go to prison for that fucking flea, but then he thought about how that shitty flea could do whatever to him in his sleep, and his blood started boiling pretty quick as he glanced over.
"Don´t you dare do anything at night, or I´m fucking murdering you." Shinra snorted, and even Izaya had to snicker.
"I see what you're getting at."
To be continued. xD
