Chapter 15: Mysterious departure

-Izaya´s point of view-

Oh god no.

Please let that have been a dream-

Twisting his head slowly the raven groaned, a headache of huge magnitude assaulting his poor nerves.

What had he been thinking? What on earth, seriously? Glancing to the side he caught a glimpse of the blond, sleeping rather peacefully still.

It was morning already, after what had happened yesterday he didn´t really recall much more. Shinra busted in on them and after that he just felt like shit. He kept throwing up for quite a while- and that even thought he hated nothing more than nausea urgh.

The sound of bed sheets rustling and a blond mob of hair moving up from the covers informed him on the fact that the beast had awoken. Begging for the brute to at least have some sense and not yell or anything the raven laid there on his bed, waiting what the blond was going to do.

With a low groan said male creaked his eyes open, immediately slipping them shut again as he cringed at the well lit room. The sun was already up and hurting his eyes as it shone ever too happily through the window.

It was only slowly that he recalled yesterday´s events. With a frown on his face and a barely noticeable blush he glanced at the raven-

"Flea, yesterday did we really-" A groan followed immediately, making him pause in his question as the raven shifted in his own bed, his arm covering his eyes as if to try and forget what had occurred.

"I was drunk off my ass. Please don´t remind me-" and with that he let himself slump back into bed again.

God- trying to chase away the memories that were now swarming around in Shizuo´s head as if his brain was just finding it utterly hilarious to remind him of what they did, he got up from his bed.

Almost instantly a soaring pain assaulted his head and he rubbed his temples with a groan. Never, ever, was he going to drink so much again-

"Headache?" the raven resounded from his bed, making the blond merely nod as an answer not really thinking about how the flea wasn´t able to see that with that arm over his eyes. But the raven seemed to get the message anyway.

"I have some aspirin." Hearing the raven rustle around in his bag the blond glanced at him as he pulled out a white little package with red stripes on it. Truth to be told for a second he wondered what the hell Izaya was going to give him- like-

It could be poison- but then he remembered that they were friends now after all.

And NO he didn´t not just think about how the flea kissed him yesterday-

Oh god-

"Why do you have that with you?" he asked quickly, trying to just forget what happened, right. Just forget.

"I tend to have headaches so I carry them around with me," Izaya shrugged glancing up to meet Shizu-chan´s eyes who quickly averted his gaze all too obvious.

"I see."

Salvia was swallowed, steps taken back to his bed as the blond tried to calm his stupid brain down and yet-

It was just literally fucking him all over again as it didn´t let him simply forget what he did with the flea- because...

HE FUCKING GOT THE FLEA OFF. Izaya fucking CAME on top of him from him touching his-

"Good morning~!" Startled the two snapped their heads almost simultaneously towards the source of the noise- also known as: Shinra.

"God, no-" the raven groaned instantly, only making the doctor grin wide in response. Seriously, if he disliked anything in the morning while having a headache then it was people rambling on and on while not giving a fuck about it.

"Good morning you two~!" the boy announced with a grin plastered on his face as he closed the door, quickly skipping over to Izaya's bed as he smiled at him.

"Shinra, I warn you , shut up, okay?" the raven threatened, glaring at him with an expression that said so much more than words- and yet that stupid doctor didn´t seem to be affected even in the slightest.

"Aww, about what? You couldn´t mean yesterday, could you?" he asked innocently, the grin only growing wider and wider.

"Shinra, seriously-" the doctor didn´t even let the raven end his sentence though as he put a finger on his lips, putting on a dumbfounded expression.

"You know I was surprised to see you two get along so umpf-" No more words left the boy´s mouth as a pillow came flying towards him at the speed of lightning, making the doctor bite his tongue and his glasses drop off his nose.

Giving a thumbs up the raven looked at the blond who had throw the dangerously fluffy projectile.

"Nice shot." The blond heaved, obviously not in the mood to hear anything from that doctor at the moment as well and simply nodded.

Coughing was to be heard and Izaya merely glanced at the doctor who was now kneeling on all four, whining as he got out of his bed.

"Uwah so mean- I´m dying... and where are my glasses-" Honestly, sometimes Izaya was really damn grateful Shinra was blind as a mole without them.

"Ah there-" a smile spread over the brunette's face as he spotted his glasses on the floor- or at least something that looked like they could be his glasses-

He reached out for them, intending to put them on, when a foot came into his sight kicking the desired object right out of his way-

"Oups~" the raven chuckled walking past the future doctor as he made his way over to the bathroom. Shinra pouted, looking into the direction he saw Izaya in.

"You are so mean!" he declared, but Izaya didn´t really seem to give a damn about that.

"That´s what you get for laying on the floor," he replied cold, merely shrugging as his friend made out the glasses anew, quickly putting them on before anyone could take them away from him again.

"You don´t just kick away someone´s glasses," he complained, entering the bathroom only to have the raven shrug in response as he turned on the sink, splashing some water in his face to wake up.

"You started it, now mind getting out? I would love to shower." Izaya swore the headache was killing him- and he knew at least a shower would help ease the thrumming pain, but oh, he didn´t think about Shinra there.

The moment he asked the guy to leave a huge smirk drew over his lips as he chuckled.

"Ah yeah," he chirped anew, his eyes glittering mischievous, "after all, you did stain yourself a little when you-" flushing hard the raven grabbed the boy´s head and shoved him in the sink, water splashing about before he could even dare and say that out loud-

Snapping his head towards the blond person who had now gotten up as well and stood there in front of the bathroom watching the scene, he hissed.

"I´m drowning this traitor okay?!" Gurgling sounds reached the blond´s ears as he watched the scene, his face feeling hot as the raven glanced at him with those bloody eyes.

"Didn´t see a thing-" Gasping and wheezing their friend tried to get out of the raven´s grasp, that stupid smirk still in place though. "I got it, I got it," he half panted, half laughed- the raven let off of him, quickly distancing himself as the future doctor shuffled out of the bathroom and headed for the room´s door immediately.

"See you later~ Try to not get it on, ne?" and with that the door was closed, both of them just gaping at the now closed entrance.

That fucking-

Simultaneously they glanced at each other, only to avert their gazes again just as quick.

"That stupid idiot," Izaya mumbled aloud, hoping that declaring their agreement on how stupid Shinra behaved today would let them forget about what happened. The blond, however, just glanced at him awkward.

It was then that the sudden ring of a cell phone tore the both of them out of the awkward silence. Glad for the interruption the raven headed for his bag the ringing already giving away that it was his phone that was begging to be picked up.

It was when he read the incoming caller´s name, that a frown replaced his rather relaxed, and slightly flushed, expression.

It was one of his siblings.

Sighing deeply the blond watched the raven pick up the call. Who was calling him that early anyway? Glancing at the clock he noticed that it was barely 6:15 am.

"Kururi? Something wrong?" the blond blinked upon catching the unfamiliar name. For a second he thought the flea might have a girlfriend that called him- but then he remember what Shinra had told him, he had two siblings hadn´t he?

"What do you mean she got sick?" Shizuo frowned a bit. Sick? One of his younger sisters?

"What...?"

... odd. The raven looked somewhat disturbed. It was almost obvious how much he had tensed- as if he were about to run away from him, Shizuo knew what he looked like before he did, getting every muscle in his body ready to run and jump and use his parkour skills to get away.

It was odd that he looked like that right now though.

"No, no you can, I will be heading home."

Huh?

Blinking the blond looked at the raven once more who hung up the call just at that moment.

"Heading home?" he repeated, not getting what he was saying- after all, he couldn´t mean himself, right?

But the cold glare he received made him shut up without having the flea even reply to him. He grabbed his phone, his bag and without even bothering to put on some fresh clothes he stormed out of the door.

Just like that.

Leaving Shizuo to stand there and wonder. Maybe it was the headaches fault or that fact that he was probably still a bit drunk, but Shizuo didn´t go after him at that time. He figured Izaya would come back eventually, whatever the heck had made him freak out.

But that wasn't the case.

He showered, he cleaned up his stuff put on new clothes, but the flea didn´t return. It was only when Shinra came back to the room and told him how the teacher said Izaya had left and headed home that Shizuo realized he wasn´t going to come back after all.

Confusion written over his face he could just look at Shinra who didn´t know the reason either. Telling him about the phone call he figured that maybe he had to take care of them since his parents were often on business trips.

Shinra said he did that often, taking care of his siblings- it was still kinda hard to believe. It was a totally different image of Izaya that he had.

And so he was alone in that room. Well, just like he wanted to, right? He wanted to get a room just for himself in the first place.

Shinra came and gathered some more of Izaya's things that he apparently left in his hurry.

And then he was all alone.

It was night, and he was staring at the ceiling as he couldn't fall asleep

It was odd. But somehow it had been nice to stick with the flea and try be friends.

And so the last three days passed.

The boys got scolded after a teacher found the empty alcohol bottles, and were made to do some extra work as punishment. Shizuo too, though he didn't mind too much , he wasn't even angry that Izaya didn´t get his punishment since he wasn´t there.

Without the flea the days passed surprisingly uneventful. They explored the city, drove sheer endlessly in the bus as they visited some other temples and places. Shinra once vomited in the vehicle as the driver couldn´t stop in time.

Boring almost.

And then it was the last day. Shizuo wrapped up his stuff, packed everything together and so they were sitting there gain. In that driving sardine can.

With a sigh he looked out of the window, the breath creating a light foam on the glass.

"Aw, do you miss Izaya?" turning towards the death seeking man he was met with a grin so annoying it might as well have matched Izaya's.

"I´m going to fucking murder you-" he announced, not intimidating Shinra in the slightest though. Well, then again, how would he? Shinra knew he wouldn´t ever do anything to him on purpose.

Smirk still in place the future doctor let himself slip into the seat next to Shizuo- no one had dared to take that place after all. With a frown Shizuo turned towards the friend.

"Oi, I swear if you start puking here I'm gonna throw you out of the bus, got that?"

"Nah it´s only half an hour more, I can take that much," Shinra assured, waving his hand dismissingly.

Yeah right. He could already see him vomiting all over the place.

With a sigh he looked out of the window again.

...

Missing Izaya, huh? It sounded incredibly stupid and odd, but somehow the idiot hit the mark.

It was odd, even from a normal point of view, Izaya was always there to tease the shit out of him, and now he was all of a sudden just not there. If that wasn´t awkward then Shizuo didn´t know what was.

And on top of that he had just been about to actually make friends with the flea.

He actually wanted to get to know him better.

"So, what exactly happened back there?" the blond blinked, taking a second before he got what the guy was talking about. But with that grin on his face it could only be one thing.

"Shinra, do you seriously have a death wish?" He started doubting his sanity-

Raising his hands in defense the doctor shook his head quickly.

"No, no, but I´m kinda seriously fascinated how you can go from I´m killing the flea, to I´m fuc-" the hand shoved over the brunette's lips was faster there than he saw it coming.

"GOD damn it Shinra! Can you keep that mouth shut just for once?!" Feeling the lips curl into a smirk beneath his palm the friend merely grinned, pulling the hand off again.

"So?" Shizuo groaned- he wasn´t going to give up until he had his desired answers, now was he?

"It just somehow happened, okay? End of the story," Shizuo mumbled, hoping the questioning time was over with that, but oh was he wrong. The future doctor snorted at his answer.

"Yeah as if, you wouldn´t just suddenly start making out with Izaya out of the blue," Rubbing his temples Shizuo sighed.

"Who said that I started?"

Too late he realized he had made a huge mistake by saying that- Shinra´s face lit up like a Christmas tree as he blinked double and trice.

"EHHHH?!" Twisting his head to see if anyone was already following their conversation the blond hissed under his breath.

"Shinra, keep it down!" He didn´t exactly want everyone to know this sort of thing.

"Izaya did?!" With relief Shizuo realized that half of the bus was either sleeping or minding their own business as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Obviously." Still looking rather stupefied the future doctor hummed to himself.

"He must have been seriously drunk then," he stated, nodding to his own words. Shizuo snorted at that.

"Oh, really? Wow Shinra, I didn´t notice."

"Well usually Izaya is more of the type that pisses everyone off when he is drunk," Shinra explained, filling the blond in on a piece of information that was new to the male.

"You mean more than usual?" he joked, not really able to imagine the flea being an even greater pest than usual.

"Yeah, he starts fights and shit, real fights, punching and stuff, and we both know close up fighting is not exactly Izaya´s best skill." Now that didn´t sound like the flea at all.

Close up fighting? Punching? That sounded more like a thing Shizuo would do rather than Izaya.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. So I´m actually surprised you two didn´t end up destroying the whole town."

... Why did he even kiss him in the first place?

He didn´t remember everything but he said something about him being nicer than he thought, didn´t he? Something about making sure he wouldn´t get beat up by some ass. And then...? He tickled him that he remembered, but apart from that?

Did he say more? He didn´t remember.

Strange flea. Being all turned on and shit-

Shizuo nearly came- if Shinra hadn´t come along...

Shaking his head the blond tried to chase away the thoughts he had kept at bay during this whole time. He really needed to let this memory pass as exactly that, a memory, it was just an accident, a slip up, he bet Izaya just kissed him to make him stop tickling him.

As drunk as he had been that line of thoughts might have sounded rational to the flea.

Uncapping the cap of a bottle of water the blond took a gulp. That´s right, it was just a slip up.

"So," the bespectacled started again, making the blond glance at him as he took another gulp.

"Hm?"

"Did you like it?" Shizuo didn´t know what to do first- strangle Shinra until he shut the fuck up- or try to not choke on that fucking water as violent coughs shook his body.

"HUH?!" It was only when he snapped his head towards his friend again that he noticed his innocent expression.

"... the trip, Shizuo," Shinra said, blinking once, twice.

"... oh..." Shinra was still looking dumbfounded and the blond cursed himself for having such a fucked up mind, feeling the heat collect in his face again-

"You are blushing." Again he blinked, his lips slowly curling into a grin as they stared at each other. With dread Shizuo realized he just dug his own grave as Shinra's lips opened in a delighted manner, his eyes glittering, about to say some stupid nonsense-

"You di-!" Before he could even finish his sentence the blond shoved his pullover into the guy´s face, using the sleeves to make a knot he wrapped them around his face and arms, locking him up like those useful vests in psychiatric clinics and grabbed him by the collar- heaving him up like a cat-

It only took a second or two until he had dropped Shinra off in the first row and was back in his seat, his palm resting against his hot face.

Fucking Shinra.
