Punctual oh damn yes xDDDD I´m getting better and better at keeping my deadlines xDDDDD
Now, now, after their freshly made friendship, what is going to happen? *^*
Reader: xDD I was wondering ever since you said it if I should make someone appear xD But then again on our school trips the teacher were way too wasted to notice anything xDDDD Ahaha you think it will help the teachers tho? Just imagine them trying to get along- xDD Celty will be disgusted I think x'DDD
Anon: of course I did *0*0*0* Only sometimes I´m a lazy ass or simply too late on updating xD Ohh hah well nope~ the beetle hunt was harmless C; the part that does indeed go wrong will be coming... well... soon xDD Not this chapter, maybe not the next, but SOON. And ohhhhh it will cause DRAMA hahaahah xD
Guest 2: xDDD haha I kinda love the idea of Izaya showing as a child way more just how many fucks he gives about Shinra xD As an adult he always seems like he doesn´t care tho as a child I like picturing him that way hehe those two would make the perfect team if not for their temper and personality xD Haha to be honest I just kinda like Izaya calling Shizuo in a different way than anyone else- and i think he is way too used to it already xD It´s like, a lovely nickname c: xD So I made Shizuo say that to keep it xD oh my god that fic sounds hilarious x'DDD GOSH taht last sentence you said made me rethink the whole thing omg. You are at fault for this chapter´s start just so you know x'DDD No really, you inspired me there greatly hehe and this is why I love my readers so much xD
Thank you very much for correcting this SoylentRamen! *0*0*0*0*0*
Enjoy~!

ஜ Chapter 10: Good morning ஜ
- Izaya´s point of view-
Run-
Run.
He had to run.
To escape.
Yet he felt like suffocating-
Nothing was holding him down, and yet-
He couldn´t breathe, he couldn't run- he couldn´t-
Where was he, even?
It was dark. No, wait- there was a light.
A door. Light was shining through the door.
He was in his old room. The one Kururi and Mairu shared now. Why was he there? He was supposed to be somewhere else- but where again?
*Katchak*
Goosebumps ran over the raven´s skin as the familiar sound reached his ears.
What was that?
The door.
The front door.
Someone had come in.
"Izaya! Where are you, you little piece of shit, HUH?!"
The raven child paled.
No-
"IZAYA!" NO-!
No, where was mommy!? Mommy was supposed to be home!
Where was she?!
"IZAYA, GET DOWN HERE! NOW!"
Tears ran down the young raven´s cheeks.
Where was mommy!?
Ah- that´s right...
Heavy footsteps made the stairs creak as the man barged up the stairs.
Right.
Mommy wasn´t home.
The door burst open.
Mommy was never home when the monster screamed.
"Who said you can just ignore me? HUH? YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT! MAKING ME WALK UP THE STAIRS!"
The bed creaked, and suddenly, there was a hand on his shirt throwing him out of bed.
The floor was hard- there was a clock next to his bed.
It was late.
Tomorrow, there were exams at school. If he didn´t sleep, he would get bad grades; if he got bad grades, he would be punished again. Mommy would be sad.
And daddy... would be mad.
A fist was raised-
"I WILL TEACH YOU RESPECT!"
He would be mad.
Mad.
Again.
Why?
He felt like crying. Why didn´t he go away? Why didn't he just leave?
"Iza-nii...?" His heart almost stopped- the fist that was about to hit his face froze midair, and suddenly it seemed as if time stood still.
Kururi? His little sister- she was suddenly standing there- why? How? She was home?
NO- no- she saw-
His eyes snapped back to the monster and he poked it in its eyes, trying to get its attention, but he couldn´t reach, he was too tiny- his arms too short- and suddenly, the monster moved over to the door.
But Izaya couldn´t move.
Daddy wasn´t holding him down anymore, but he still couldn´t move-!
He couldn't move!
"Daddy?" The child looked a bit perplexed, her eyes wide as her father approached her-
Don´t touch her!
Don´t touch her!
Kururi!
Run!
RUN!
"Run!" Gasping, the raven shot up from his bed-
His eyes darted around hectically, just looking, but not even focusing on anything specific.
Panting breaths left his trembling lips as he scanned the room in a daze. He was cold, shivering, his hair was sticking in all kinds of directions.
It took him a few moments to realize that he wasn´t at home. He was in a bed- and not just any bed.
A mop of blond that conveniently decided to scare him as it moved without warning made Izaya realize where he was.
On the trip.
He wasn´t home. And Kururi never saw what his father did. It had been a dream.
A sigh left his lips, so deep, he just sat there, not even willing to take a deep breath of air as he remembered the dream.
It didn´t even make any sense. Kururi couldn´t have been there if he was still such a little child, and yet he didn´t even doubt anything in the dream. Really... he was just so relieved.
Brushing through his own black strands of hair, Izaya let himself slump back into bed. Really, he only had these sort of dreams because he was that far away from his siblings, didn´t he?
It was the second worst nightmare he had- that his father could drag the twins into this. That they would see what really happened.
They weren´t stupid. It was only a matter of time until they realized what his father was doing to him when he closed the door and Izaya had bruises an hour later.
He just hoped... that they wouldn´t be as stupid as him. That they wouldn´t go and tell their father about how they found out he shouldn´t do that, and stuff.
But for now, they were at their friend´s place right? He had already settled everything; they would be staying there for the whole week- there was nothing to worry about at all.
Nothing. That man could rot at home and destroy the apartment, if it made him feel better. This week, he wouldn´t get to hit anyone.
Well then-
He turned his head a bit on the pillow so he could look at the brute.
What now?
There he was, laying on his bed, his head resting on his crossed arms as he looked at that all too peaceful face of a certain protozoan.
"I would make a less annoying friend, you say," he mumbled, tilting his head a tiny bit more as he recalled the events of yesterday.
He wanted to be friends with him.
Really now, Shizu-chan must have been delirious. To be honest, Izaya was still waiting for him to wake up and just take back what he said, but for some reason, he had the feeling Shizu-chan actually meant it.
Did he seriously think they could be friends?
Whatever made him think that? As far As Izaya remembered, he hadn´t once acted nice towards the blond.
Not even once.
And yet he suggested that ridiculous sort of thing. Thinking about it, it must have been Shinra who pulled this- all that stuff about going to hunt beetles at night and stuff- he really doubted that was his plan.
And also, if that bespectacled crazy weirdo really had a girlfriend, then he highly doubted she would want to see a bug.
What girl would want to see a bug?
He didn´t know a single one.
He had a feeling Shinra was still trying to get them to get along with each other. But he had tried that for ages now-
So why all of a sudden?
A frown creased Izaya´s face as he tilted his head a bit, changing the angle at which he was watching the blond.
Shinra wouldn´t be able to convince the blond of that kind of thing.
Well, not that he cared; Shizu-chan could certainly try to be his friend. The possibilities of making the blond go into rage that way were almost endless-
Izaya highly doubted that Shizu-chan would be able to restrain his anger for even a second longer than usual just because of his resolution- As known, people usually didn´t stick to these sort of things.
He doubted Shizu-chan was any different.
A groan made him lift his head slightly. Seemed the monster in question was waking up.
Blinded by the sunlight, he squeezed his eyes shut, burrowing his face into the pillow instead, getting ready to sleep some more, Izaya guessed.
Hmm, not with him here, though.
"Good morning, Shizu-chan~" he purred, knowing that he would aggravate his nerves for sure if the first thing he heard and saw in the morning was him.
He was bored, and also he didn't want to keep worrying the whole time Shizu-chan slept, so-
"Shizu-chan, you gotta get up," he called once more, a groan reaching his ears as the blond pulled the blanket over his head.
Grumpy sleeper, huh? Well then-
Slipping out of bed quietly, he scurried over to the blond´s bed.
If he pulled off the blanket and ran away with it, the brute would be so mad- it was kind of sad that he already ditched this stupid friend play right away like this, but Shizu-chan wouldn´t have been able to keep it for long anyway.
A smirk spreading over his features, he touched the surface of the blanket and- got grabbed.
Jumping in surprise at the hand that had suddenly snapped out from under the blanket and grabbed his wrist, he took a step backwards, only to be pulled down anyway. The blanket lifted very slightly, revealing a squinting blond that was surprisingly very much awake- and grumpy.
"Bad idea," he mumbled with a yawn, rubbing at his eye with the other hand. "No murdering friends in the morning."
The raven blinked as the hand let go and the blanket fell down again.
Okay, that was certainly not what he had expected.
Shizu-chan didn´t even get mad-
And how did he know Izaya was going to pull the blanket away, anyway?
For a second, Izaya wondered if he should pull at the blanket still; after all, since when did he listen to the brute?
Then again, he wondered, though. He had never actually seen how monsters started their day.
It was a rather new piece of information.
He hummed.
Well, he had a whole week, right? He could still annoy him tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
"You gotta get up in 10 minutes, though, Shizu-chan," he announced, remembering that the teachers had stated a time at which they should assemble in the dining hall, and got up from the floor.
It was only 7 am. As far as he remembered, the teachers would only do the wakeup call around 7:30am.
Walking over to the cupboard, he decided to get ready for whatever the teachers had planned today. It wasn´t like he would be able to fall asleep quickly again after a dream like that... or that he wanted to fall asleep again in the first place.
He was pretty fine staying awake, thank you very much.
"So, Shizu-chan prefers to sleep in?" he asked aloud, deciding to keep the blond from sleeping in a different way. Although there wasn´t any immediate response.
Shizu-chan was probably trying to pretend to be asleep, wasn´t he? Did he seriously think Izaya would just leave him completely alone? How naive.
Grinning, the raven pulled a shirt over his head; seeing as the blond was still under the blanket, he could do it in here.
"Got tired from ripping out that tree yesterday?" he hummed, putting on a pair of trousers.
"Ah, then again it was probably the whole midnight trip that rid you of your precious monster sleep." Come to think of it, when did they even get back? He couldn't remember. But it had probably been after midnight or something.
No wonder the brute was tired.
"What do you think the teachers will make us do today?"
A groan was to be heard and the mountain under the blanket finally moved.
"Can´t you just shut up in the morning when other people are trying to sleep?" he asked groggily, the usual frown finally appearing on that way too peaceful face. The raven grinned, crossing his arms.
"Ah, so you are awake after all," the raven purred innocently, though it didn´t anger the brute as much as he wanted it to.
"Tell me how anyone could sleep when you keep rambling on about stupid shit," he groaned, finally getting out of the bed, throwing the blanket over himself, forming a walking cocoon.
The raven snorted- "What are you doing, Shizu-chan?" The blond blinked, looking like he didn´t know what the flea was talking about until said raven pointed at the blanket.
"I´m cold. How can you even be so hyper in the morning? Are you high or something?" It was a serious question, actually; to be honest, Shizuo thought that all of those weird morning people had to have some screws loose. Who the hell would get up early voluntarily from that comfortable, warm bed?
The raven quirked an eyebrow- god, this was almost too easy.
"High? Asks the one looking like a caterpillar wrapped in a cocoon."
To be honest, Shizu-chan looked really different from usual in the morning. First of all, he wasn´t wearing the uniform Izaya was used to seeing on him; second, that frown, wherever it had disappeared to, wasn´t there yet. And finally, there were just these few strands of hair on the side of his head that stood straight up, forming something that almost looked like an owl's ear.
Bed hair kinda suited that brute, in a weird sense. Like an animal waking up from a good night's sleep with its fur all tousled.
Said animal had to yawn, indicating yet again just how tired he was.
"I´m just wrapped up in a blanket, and you think I´m pretending to be a butterfly. Now who is high?" Izaya snorted-
"Touché." That brute even managed to be kind of funny in the morning, interesting. "We are going outside soon, though, you know? Are you going to take the blanket with you or something?" The blond groaned, visibly shuddering at the mere thought of setting foot out there.
"Of course not." Shizu-chan sounded so defeated when saying that, Izaya almost felt bad for him. Somehow in the morning, he didn´t behave like the usual brute he was, but more like a puppy. It was... interesting.
"So, what about that friend deal, did you change your mind?" The blond blinked, then finally unwrapped himself from his cocoon and threw the blanket on the bed.
"Well, you aren´t dead yet, are you? I want to give it a shot until you annoy me too much." The raven snorted.
"Seriously? That might happen sooner than you think." After all, he had no intention of acting nice towards the brute or doing anything that would be considered as friendly; he was who he was, and the brute was just so easy to annoy it was too tempting to resist.
"I will try my best at not getting annoyed, then." Oh? How promising.
He knew all too well what happened if Shizu-chan tried to keep his temper down- disaster.
"Whoa, trying so hard for me? I´m honored~!" In the morning when he acted like a puppy, he would probably be able to not get annoyed too much, but during the day? No chance. The blond was about to reply something, and the raven already felt like they were going to be fighting again soon, but they were interrupted.
A knock on the door startled them- the two hadn´t even realized that it was already 7:30 am.
