ஜ Chapter 13: Bring it on! ஜ
-Izaya's point of view.-
Seriously- sighing the raven let himself slump down on the table. His arms were spread crossed on top of it and his forehead resting on his forearm.
Letting his eyes slip shut he sighed. He sort of really wanted to join that bath but then again there was no way he could do that.
With that brute in the bath and Shinra as well... there was no way he could show up there. Not to mention all the other classmates that he could run into by accident. Seriously, that excuse of a father ruined everything for him.
Letting his fingertips draw random patterns on top of the wooden desk he let his thoughts trail home. His father would be mad when he came home.
After saving up all that rage and shit- mum would only come home in the afternoon. And his siblings the day after.
It couldn´t be helped, he guessed. After all, if not him, then who would his father´s attention shift to?
"Are you asleep flea?" snapping his eyes back open he lifted his head, despite already knowing who it was that had called him. There was only one guy that used this stupid nickname on him.
Oh please- seriously?
Groaning he reverted to his former position and closed his eyes once more.
"Yes."
He couldn´t even leave him alone when he didn´t annoy him?
"Uhm Izaya-" Seriously-
"If you wanna fight can we move it to tomorrow? I´m not in the mood for that right now," the raven stated, tilting his head just the slightest bit, so he could actually glance at the brute.
He really wasn´t in the mood to fight right now. Shizu-chan should just get lost or whatever.
The blond didn´t leave though, nor did he reply anything.
A bit curious the raven kept glancing at him. It was odd for Shizu-chan to actually keep quiet. Yelling, and destroying their surroundings, that was a typical monster´s behavior, but remaining silent?
The blond rubbed his neck awkwardly, as he glanced away.
This was seriously awkward as fuck.
"Actually, I´m sorry about before." Apologizing to the flea- that was something he surely never would have thought he would do. If Shinra had told him to do something like that just two days ago he would have probably sent him flying into the next tree.
"... sorry?" Izaya cocked an eyebrow. There had to be a catch somewhere. None was coming thought as the blond nodded once again.
"Yeah. I wanted to apologize. I shouldn´t have pried so much before." A snort escaped the raven as he propped up and elbow, resting his head in his palm. Okay this was seriously starting to become interesting.
"Why are you even trying so hard?" The blond frowned a bit.
"What do you mean?"
"Come on, you only said that for the sake of our "friendship". Why try so hard and even apologize? I don´t get why you want to be friends all of a sudden in the first place."
...
It was a bit odd, probably, the flea was right. Still-
"Is it wrong to try?" Shizuo asked, not breaking eye contact with the raven. "Aren´t you tired of the fighting?" Chasing him every day, even though he said the flea was the one who was always annoying him, Shizuo surely had chased him just because he saw him somewhere by coincidence as well.
Izaya merely shrugged though and leant back on the chair.
"I thought our chases were fun to be honest." Of course he would say something like that.
"Don´t you think being friends could be fun too?" the raven frowned.
This was bad.
Shizuo was actually trying.
For him even...
Hah it was odd, the person he thought would get him into the least trouble was now the most persistent.
He would be lying if he said he didn´t want to try being friends. It sounded somewhat... nice. Interesting? He couldn´t really put a finger on it, but it was something he wouldn´t mind trying actually.
But he was anything but safe with him around... neither his body nor his secrets.
It would only bring trouble.
So it was best to end it now.
"Shizu-chan," Izaya sighed theatrically and got up from the chair, walking over, "I don´t really believe in that concept of friendship that you have, why don´t you go and play with Shinra, hm?" he was sure that wannabe of a doctor would gladly join Shizu-chan in whatever he wanted to do. He didn't need another friend.
Shizuo didn´t share that opinion at all though.
"Come on, give it a chance, will you?" Shizuo´s life could be so much more peaceful like this. And he still had a feeling he had to make up for how everything started somehow.
Thinking about it now, the flea had ended up with some scratches or even some minor injuries from their fights. If he hadn´t said that in the first place and tried to get along instead that wouldn´t have happened.
So basically it was his fault right?
The flea seemed like he was about to reply something- but then he paused, looking at something behind the blond. Twisting his head the blond followed his stare, only to see a couple of his classmates, carrying a box down the hall.
A box?
"What are you doing?" Startled the boys stopped midway, only to sigh relieved when they spotted Shizuo. One of them smiled and walked up to the two while the others continued carrying the box.
"Getting booze, but psssshhh," he announced, proudly, moving a finger in front of his huge grin.
Shizuo just frowned though.
"Isn´t that forbidden?" Sudden laughter starting up behind him made him reconsider his words though.
"Pfft, Shizu-chan, really, did you think half of the class wanted to go here just for the attractions and their history?" Izaya chuckled, obviously making fun of the blond.
"You aren´t gonna rat us out, are you?" the guy asked Izaya- to be honest Shizuo didn´t even remember his name. He barely remembered any names of his classmates-
The flea merely pointed at Shizuo though.
"Ask that guy over here, I didn´t see anything~" A frown appeared on the blond´s forehead as the guy looked at him with pleading eyes.
"It´s not allowed." The raven snorted- this was way too fun. As expected of Shizu-chan.
"What if we give you some?"
Please as if Shizu-chan would ever drink something like that. Izaya knew what a sweet tooth the brute had. There was no way he would drink something as bitter as alcohol.
"I don´t want any, tastes gross." Of course-
The raven paused in his thoughts-
Or wait this could actually be interesting.
"Aw or maybe Shizu-chan is afraid of getting drunk~?" The blond blinked at the ridiculous statement and turned to face the louse.
"…huh?" the flea was just laughing at him though, pointing his finger at his face even.
"Ahaha Shizu-chan can´t handle alcohol I knew it-!" Wha-?! Almost biting his tongue the blond barked back-
"Of course I can!" But Izaya didn´t seem to believe him at all.
"Alright, alright I will believe you~" the raven merely winked at him. Winked. He fucking winked.
Hook.
"You- Look how scrawny you are! I bet you would already get drunk after just a single drink!" The brute fumed, but Izaya merely grinned.
"Oh, are you challenging me?" Line.
"Damn right!" And sinker.
The flea smirked. Sometimes he seriously thought he was too smart for his own good. As unpredictable as Shizu-chan was, at the same time he was the easiest to manipulate of them all.
"Interesting- I think we will join you after all~" he purred, the guy was obviously torn now between being glad and afraid-
"Bring it on!"
Now what would a drunk Shizu-chan look like~? Izaya couldn´t wait to find out-
-Shinra´s point of view-
"Uh... you two are joining the party too?" Blinking in disbelieve the boy rubbed at his eyes as he saw his two friends enter the room- together.
They guys from their class had already set up everything, booze and snacks, they even dragged chairs and tables from the main hall into his room to make it more comfortable. Thinking about it Shinra was quite sure every guy from their class was here-
But those two too?!
"I´m actually surprised you are here Shinra," Izaya announced nonchalantly as if it were the most natural thing ever for him to appear together with Shizuo.
"Well, they sort of needed someone to stay sober and look out for teachers so here I am," he explained, glancing at his blond friend. He was obviously irritated, but not trying to kill Izaya, what was going on?
Wasn´t he going to apologize or something?
"Voluntarily?" Izaya asked, raising an eyebrow- but the future doctor just rubbed his neck awkwardly.
"They sorta pulled my unconscious body out of the bath before, so-"
"You are kidding- again?" this time it was Shizuo who had spoken. He seemed fairly calm, given he was sending Izaya death glances all the while.
"Shinra you seriously don´t learn do you?" Izaya sighed, shaking his head.
"Now, where are the drinks?"
"Whoah Shizu-chan seems to be in a hurry~"
Without even asking the guys Shizuo simply grabbed a table and moved it over. Slamming a bottle of booze and two cups on the table he took place in front of it.
"Shut up and sit down flea, I wanna get this straight right away."
"Heh~ Fine by me." A drinking competition?
Slowly it dawned on Shinra what those two had in mind. Or rather, what Izaya had in mind, seeing how Shizuo never drank anything. He wouldn´t dare interrupt those two tough-
Izaya opened the bottle with a grin, pouring Shizuo as well as himself a drink. Without even waiting for the raven the blond gulped the first drink down, instantly cringing at the bitter taste-
"God this is so gross," he groaned, shuddering. The raven smirked, gulping down his own drink without showing how much he hated the taste of it of course.
"Ahahaha, backing out already?" To be completely honest he disliked the taste of alcohol probably just as much as Shizu-chan, but there was no way he was going to show that of course.
"No way!" Pouring himself another drink the blond gulped it down once again, trying to contain the following grossed out shudder.
As if he was going to lose to someone like the flea!
Shinra could merely stand there, anticipating the sure apocalypse- both of them getting drunk like this.
It could only end bad-
With dread Shinra watched the two gulp down one drink after another not even pausing in between, just counting them and each of them trying to pretend that they didn´t mind the taste at all.
He knew well enough that Izaya hated the taste of alcohol- he was just doing this to get Shizuo drunk that he was sure of.
Seriously- he always thought Izaya was the more mature one of the three of them, but watching them like this he seriously felt like reconsidering.
And so the seconds passed- turning into minutes, then hours- The two didn´t speak a word except for random- "Hurry up flea"s or "Are you giving up yet"s.
Music was playing moderately loud and the other classmates were getting drunk as well, though not as obvious at those two were going at it.
With a sigh Shinra let himself slump down on one of the chairs, taking a few of the chips in front of him.
This... would be an disastrous night-
...
"Running awayyy~?"
It took three full bottles of alcohol and two hours later for the raven to ask that question as the blond got up from the table.
"As if, you better prepare yourself I´m not done with you yet!" the blond grumbled, pointing at the raven with his index finger- he didn´t seem particularly intimidating though. The way he clearly didn´t stand straight anymore gave away that he definitely has had enough to drink already-
"Aw don´t tell me you have to throw up?" the raven teased, only for the blond to wave him off as he strolled to the bathroom.
"NO way in hell. I won´t lose to you flea."
"Hai, hai~" Honestly speaking, Shizu-chan was doing better at drinking than Izaya thought. By now he really would have anticipated Shizu-chan to fall down or throw up or simply fall asleep or something. None of that happened yet though.
Surprising, considering that Shizu-chan only ever drank or ate sweet things.
Taking a gulp of plain old water he tried to cool off a bit. He sure as hell was already feeling the effects the alcohol had on him, feeling all hot and stuffed like this.
"You are pissing me off." Blinking the raven set the glass off his lips.
"Excuse me?" he tilted his head a bit to glance behind him, a group of boys from their class was sitting there, obviously a bit drunk already as well. One of them was glaring at Izaya while the others seemed to try calm him down.
"You heard me. Doing bullshit all the time, now even drinking all the booze, can´t you go die?" he was glaring at him, and yet- Izaya sort of didn´t give a fuck.
"Aw that´s not nice to say you know," he pouted playfully, and just poured himself another drink. "Thank you for the free drinks tho~"
Shuffling was to be heard and the raven only managed to put the glass down again in time to avoid it spilling over as the guy grabbed him from behind.
Fists were tightened around his collar and holding him up as the guy glared at him.
"You know what? I will get you Izaya Orihara!", he yelled, annoying Izaya just the slightest bit. Should he get out his flick blade? "I will get my brother and his friends from high school and then-" the guy didn´t get to say anymore though- all of a sudden Izaya felt himself being tugged backwards- rather gently, while the guy was thrown somewhere towards the group of boys.
"And then what?" a bark followed from behind the voice coming from no one else but Shizu-chan-
"UH- Hei-Hei-" All color faded from the guys face and he scrambled backwards causing Izaya to grin the slightest bit.
"If I were you I would piss off, Izaya is my friend now, and people who hurt my friends don´t live long, understood?" A few hectic nods were given and that was all the boy still did before running towards the door and leaving the room-
Everyone's eyes were on them, at least until Shizuo glared towards the guys, making them turn around instantly.
The raven snorted, still feeling that hand holding him up by his shirt. Not that it was uncomfortable or anything, but he sort of felt like a cat that was tugged upwards by its collar.
"People who hurt your friends don´t live long?" he asked, raising an eyebrow as he wiggled out of the grasp. the words had sounded slightly slurred, giving away that the blond was noticing the effects of the alcohol on him as well, they weren´t any less intimidating though.
Or maybe they were even more intimidating because of that?
The raven let himself slump down again in front of the table.
"I hope you don´t want me to thank you now or something you didn´t need to interrupt," he made clear, taking the glass of booze once more as he took a sip. he seriously felt too hot already. Why the hell wasn´t Shizu-chan already laying in some corner and sleeping like a good drunk boy?
"Nah, never expected that kind of thing from you," the blond merely replied, mimicking the raven´s action as he took his own glass.
"Heh, Shizu-chan learns." A grin spread across his lips as he gulped another drink down, shuddering at the bitter taste now as well. "You are really serious about this friendship thing, hm?"
"Well... you already seem less like an ass so... I guess I just never gave you a chance."
A chance, huh?
"You mean because you said you didn´t like me right away?"
"Yeah... kinda." Hmmm. To be honest Izaya never thought Shizu-chan would be the type to worry about his own actions. He always rather struck him as the brutish type that did whatever he wanted whenever he wanted and never regretted anything.
What a misconception.
"I wasn´t offended you know. Is not the first time people shun me right of the bat." The blond frowned, gulping down another drink.
"It was wrong though." He paused, pouring himself another glass as well as refilling Izaya's-
"... I was wrong."
...
... heh. Such honesty.
"You were right about me being an asshole, I mean even Shinra told you, and it´s true." It wasn´t like he had no reason to think bad of him in the first place.
"You seem really nice for an asshole though."
...
... nice?
The raven blinked slowly, glancing up at the blond in front of him.
He... didn´t see that coming.
Weird.
Haha.
Him?
Not an asshole?
Nice?
"Shizu-chan, could it be you are drunk already?" he chuckled, gulping down the drink he had in his palms. The blond merely shrugged, eyeing his own cup with an offended expression.
"I dunno, never drank before." The raven laughed, really now, Shizu-chan was really a class in its own.
"How many drinks did we have?" glancing at the glass he tried to remember, but honestly- he couldn´t recall how many they were-
"Should rather ask how many bottles we had," the blond hummed, obviously having just as much recollection of his memory. He frowned as he lifted the bottle to pour some more booze into his glass, only for it to not fill the glass- a single droplet was all that trickled down the bottle.
"Talking about it, this one is empty again," he mumbled with a frown on his face. "Oiiiii, where is more alcohol?"
Frightened glances were sent towards them as the blond looked around.
"You two drank it all..." It was Shinra who had announced that, obviously still keeping watch for any teachers that might drop by.
"Ehh, all?" Izaya hummed, thinking about how long they had been sitting here- well it was already midnight.
"I still have some in my room..." a bit surprised to see Shinra´s puking friend in here as well the raven got up from the floor smiling.
"Go and get more then-" a snort escaped Izaya´s lips at that response- seriously, Shizu-chan had to be drunk, considering how rude he behaved- usually he was all too nice to people that didn´t piss him off so-
"There, the key to Sugimoto´s room, get it yourself," Shinra said with a sigh and handed Izaya the keys. Seriously, he couldn´t make sense of those two. One second they were about to bust their heads in and the next second they were drinking together like best friends.
"Ahaha Shizu-chan, watch out so you don´t fall.~" from the corner of his eyes Shinra watched Shizuo tilt over a bit, catching himself on the wall- well Izaya was one to talk he mightn´t have realized it but he was swaying like he had way too much already.
Wobbling and cursing those two made their way over to the door- and with that they were gone.
"Are you sure those two will be alright?" Shinra mumbled, his companion from the bus merely shrugging as he turned away.
"Hey they aren´t trying to kill each other for once, what worse could happen?"

End of chapter 13 C:
Poor Izaya x'DDD oh my, oh my, what did you do Izzy~ xDDDD
I figured I would reply to guest AFTER the chappy from now on x'D Since I can´t accidentally spoiler you for this chapter anymore then x'D
Guest 2: Heyo my friendy~ xD they are dorks that compete each other hehe awww I´m not too sure, but being beaten up one time would result in just the bruises, all having the same color and all. though since Izaya is abused on a regular basis I do suspect he has, you know, some bruises that are fading, older, some that are new, brighter in color etc- someone like Shinra would probably easily figure out that Izaya has been "beaten up" more than one time- and even though Izaya is manipulative, he never gets into actual fights. The probability of some guy always getting him by coincidence is kinda really low. Oh, Shizuo does know about them, but as said, Shinra already knows and the three of them would be alone in the bath considering their bad reputation- so basically no one would care about his bruises, that´s why Shizuo didn't think of them as the reason. haha they really are way too similar in a sense aw hehe and Shizu said izzy is nice, awwwww that meant so much to the flea aw - like , not even Shinra says that kind of thing naw xD
Reader: xDD of course ehehe too bad Celty doesn't love him yet- then again it´s fun to write this perspective too xD aww yeah, poor flea.

Chou Fujita: So, fanfiction is being weird again and won´t show me all of my reviews x'D But gladly I got yours on e-mail notification as well haha Cx To be honest I never watched Persona C: I figured I would check it out though and see if it inspires me for some kind of story cx If I inspires me for something it´s definitely gonna wander on my list of ideas C: Which will all be written it´s just a matter of time xD Though I already have a story planned out and even partly written, that will follow up after "no escape" ends, (only 4 more chapters or something on that story) so even if I get an idea it would most probably take a while till I actually get to write it C: 6 stories are definitely the maximum x'D I can´t manage more while studying for university and other stuffs as well xD gomene- oh and about that grammar and spelling issues, I have a beta, but she didn´t correct the recent chapters yet since she is fairly busy at the moment C: I still decided to post chapters though so no one has to wait xD So please, forgive me for my errors 3 cx I´m still learning x'D And thank you aw, you are really sweet 3
Jellycup: I couldn´t reply to your lovely review since your Pm messaging is turned off, so- Imma reply here xD aww thank you 3 Me too! I think If Shizuo hadn´t reacted that way they could have made awesome friends ;A; Shinra you stupid lil cupcake- whydid you have to introduce Izzy as an asshole?! ;A; xD and more ehehehehehheeh xD awww thank you 3 naw you are really too sweet to me aw -grins like an idiot- I hope chu liked this chapter as well~ next time some pretty interesting things are going to happen C; xD
