ஜ Chapter 19: Rooftop ஜ
-Shizuo´s point of view-
A sound so angelic the blond thought he hadn´t heard anything quite like it yet reached his ears as he stretched himself on his chair. Finally-
It had been the school´s clock, announcing the next break. Glancing at the teacher that now left the classroom while carrying her books, he groaned, his sight travelling over to the blackboard, and then back to his desk- to a certain piece of paper that had found its way into his hands.
"Heiwajima-kun, if this keeps up I´m afraid you know what the consequences will be."
"What´s this?" of course Shinra had to be the usual annoying friend he was, looming over him, being a curious little shit as he inspected the paper he held.
Twisting it upside down quickly the blond dropped it on the desk. Shinra was his friend and all- but he really didn´t need him to pry.
"Nothing," he said with a shrug, it was already bad enough that he had to show this to his parents when he got home. He could really skip on one of Shinra´s "you are going to fail this year" lectures.
"So, what about the history exam?" sighing the blond shoved the paper into his school bag.
"I failed it. Did you expect anything different?"
"Well I did have some hope that you made it somehow..."
"And what do you dream of at night? I didn´t even get three questions right," the blond admitted, partly embarrassed, partly just devastated because he seriously had no idea how to do this.
He had been studying really hard but this stuff just wouldn´t get stuck in his brain for some reason. Was he really that stupid?
"What are you going to do now about your grades though?" Groaning the blond pushed himself up from his desk.
"Can we please not talk about that shit now?" he asked, heading for the hallway a deep frown decorating his expression as the future doctor followed close behind.
"Whoa, now if that isn´t a stern expression." The blond blinked upon the words, tearing his eyes from the ground that he had been basically glaring at as he faced the male in the hallway. Izaya had been the one to say these words, standing there in the hall, carrying what seemed like a bento box.
Actually he had come over to have some fun maybe annoy Shizu-chan a bit, despite being friends, after all just being friends didn´t mean he wasn't allowed to do that, but looking at the blond now Izaya had the feeling something had already annoyed him well enough.
"Any reason in particular why you are so mad?" he asked, eyebrow risen, he felt like he was stabbing in a wasps nest, not that he minded stirring some commotion in there.
But the blond didn´t even get to answer when a smirk drew across Shinra´s expression as his eyes trailed back and forth between the two.
"Nene, Izaya, wanna have lunch with us?" Shinra burst, beaming at the two of them.
Izaya merely snorted at the odd request, raising an eyebrow.
"We have been going to this school for like 4 years and you ask me now if I want to eat together with you?" it was a fun thing in itself that Shinra even asked, not to mention that it seemed somewhat suspicious for him to do that now.
"It´s never too late~" the brunette chirped, a huge grin spreading across his face as he ran back into class to get whatever he packed for lunch, only making Izaya more suspicious.
Humming the brunette boy rummaged in his school bag, drawing out the box he had packed for today. A grin spread across his expression as he made his way back.
Shizuo might have no intention of telling Izaya anything, but that didn´t mean he couldn´t try getting them to be together some more.
He knew for a fact that Izaya was overly obsessed with Shizuo´s strength in the first place and heck what happened on the school trip was still a mystery to him- so maybe just maybe-
"So creepy. What are you staring at me for?" the raven suddenly asked, addressing Shinra who was grinning like some sort of madman.
"I´m not~" he chirped.
Shizuo could only wonder what the hell Shinra was thinking he was doing.
"You are," Izaya repeated looking over his shoulder. With a sigh he pointed behind his back.
"Talking about staring." The blond followed the raven's glance. "Don´t you think we attract too much attention?"
Behind the small group a few students had gathered, or rather, the entire corridor had just stopped talking and kept looking at them.
Probably waiting for a fight to start. A soft smile sneaking on his face the blond remembered how he had chased Izaya through here just before the trip.
"I think we do yeah-"
They really did have reason to think things were going to escalate.
Not that he ever went and tried to kill the flea without a good reason.
"Hmmm, true. Let´s head for somewhere else then," Shinra chirped and headed for the staircase on the right.
Seriously. Shizuo wondered just what on earth Shinra was even trying to do.
... then again he could probably guess it.
After all he had told Shinra about what he felt for the flea. Seriously that had been a mistake, hadn´t it? Just looking at the grinning doctor from behind as he skipped up the stairs to the school´s roof he knew that he would pull something unnecessary to try and make him confess his feelings.
Or worse- he might as well just tell Izaya-
For a second Shizuo felt dread overcome him, but then he breathed in deeply, shaking his head. No, Shinra wouldn't go that far.
He promised he wouldn´t tell him and even if he was a freaking rambler, he wouldn´t tell Izaya.
Hearing the roof´s door open with a creak he felt a gush of wind blow past his face.
The roof was empty. Well it was most of the time. He knew there were rumors coursing around that he spent his breaks here from time to time. Well, probably ever since he beat up some guys on this roof that were trying to pick a fight.
Seriously who picks up a fight on a roof? They couldn´t even run away.
He was used to spend some time up here when he got too annoyed too, so he doubted anyone would have enough guts to approach him up here except they wanted to fight him.
"What the hell, it's cold up here," Izaya complained, shivering as soon as he stepped out on the roof. Chills were travelling up his spine just feeling the soft wind brush past him. At the speed of lightning his arms found their way around his own frame.
Considering he wasn´t feeling all that well yet- it was probably a stupid idea to stay up here. The only reason he had come to school was so he wouldn´t have to stay home when his dad had a day off in the first place.
But now that he felt the cool wind brush against him and felt his own too heated skin beneath his finger tips he wondered if it had been that smart after all.
"That´s cause you are so skinny," he heard the blond comment, frowning just a bit at that.
"Oh shut up, I´m not that thin," he argued, trembling like a leaf when suddenly one gush of wind decided it would be incredibly fun if it blew up the backside of his shirt. Goose bumps travelling over his skin he frowned.
"We should go inside again."
"Eh? But I like it on the roof! I don´t wanna go inside," Shinra whined almost instantly, already having sat down on the cold ground and gotten out whatever food he had brought with him in that bento box.
"Shinra please," the raven tried, already feeling the hair in his neck stand up straight.
"Oh come on five minutes won´t kill you."A sigh escaped the raven´s lips and he sat down on the cold ground unwillingly.
Why was he his friend again?
Suddenly darkness startled the raven as something was dropped right on top of his head.
"What-" Unlocking his crossed arms he pulled the weird fabric of his head, only to notice that it was a familiar blue vest.
He only needed to glance at Shizu-chan who now only wore a white shirt to know he had just dropped his own on him.
"Take it, before you get sick again," he commented as he sat down next to him cross-legged.
"Shizu-chan, are you treating all your friends this nice?" Izaya laughed, gladly taking the bigger jacket though and slipped into the too long sleeves.
It certainly did help that the jacket was already warmed up from Shizu-chan.
"Aw Shizuo, you really-" A sudden choked sound caught the raven´s attention- a flying rice ball, so fast he had mistaken it for some sort of weapon, had slammed right into Shinra´s talking face, knocking him out efficiently.
Blinking the raven looked at the blond who had thrown the dangerous projectile.
"What was that for?" But the blond merely shrugged, unwrapping the bento box he had taken up here.
"He annoyed me."
"Uwah, please do warn me once I do," he laughed, "Would be hilarious if I got knocked out by a rice ball."
Knocking Izaya out with a rice ball? That would certainly be a first. Of all the things he had thrown at him food definitely had never been on the list.
"Thank you by the way. I never really got to say that did I?" Confused the blond blinked, for a second not knowing what Izaya meant.
"Huh?" returning back to life, Shinra started picking rice off his face while listening.
"Well you did waste quite the amount of time looking after my sorry ass, so," Izaya elaborated-
Ah, he meant the day before. Shizuo couldn´t help but feel a bit... embarrassed about that. Especially when he remembered how Izaya´s siblings had come home and then his mum-
"That´s fine, you were sick after all," he shrugged clearing his throat, "Couldn´t exactly leave you sprawled on the doorstep." The raven hummed in approval.
"Shizu-chan might be less of a monster than I thought he was," he pointed out, stabbing one of the egg rolls in his box.
"Kururi says sorry btw, for calling you a meanie-"
"Kururi? What exactly happened yesterday?" Shinra suddenly threw in, being done with picking the sticky rice off his face.
"Revived form the dead?" Izaya asked sarcastic, making Shinra pout and look at Shizuo instead.
"I thought you were going to kill me! So mean! You don´t play with food!"
"You mean you don´t murder anyone with food," Izaya threw in, making the brunette doctor nod in agreement.
"That too." Dropping his chopsticks on top of the box their friend shifted his entire attention back to the two. "Anyway, so what actually did happen?" he asked with glittering eyes, and Shizuo swore he was going to kill Shinra after all.
"Ah, Shizu-chan dropped by to bring me stuff from school, but he ended up staying and making sure I don´t die, then my siblings came home and thought he was a murderer," Izaya summed the whole story up with a shrug, pulling the warm vest up again as it had slipped off his shoulders.
"I didn't´ think you were gonna die," Shizuo argued, making Izaya laugh.
"You were acting like it though." Just thinking about how the blond didn´t leave the whole time somehow made Izaya grin. Not that he hated it or thought it was fun how Shizu-chan behaved, well that too maybe, but it was more like, he was pleasantly surprised.
"I see," Shinra suddenly voiced, wearing that weird grin on his face that he usually only wore while talking about dissecting something. Creepy.
"He is behaving weird, isn´t he?" Izaya commented. "This friendship thing sure is fascinating."
"I don´t think it is."
"Could you two stop talking about me when I´m sitting next to you?" Izaya snorted, glancing at the blond once more- he seriously wondered how Shizu-chan wasn´t cold just wearing that white shirt.
"Feeling left out?" he asked with a grin. Instead Shizu-chan´s glance already seemed to have travelled to somewhere else though.
"Does your mum make that for you?" Following his gaze Izaya blinked, looking at his own bento.
Ah-
"No, it´s me who gets up and makes them in the morning," he was looking at all the tasty things in his bento box. "Actually I don´t spend so much time on my own, but Mairu simply decided to switch hers with mine today. She was all like, since I was sick I have to eat the better bento."
Shizuo had to smile at that, his siblings seriously were too cute. Not nasty rude or evil like some other kids he had seen. Honestly he had seen kids doing stuff that made him think they were the spawns of Satan.
But from what he saw yesterday, how they acted with Izaya they seemed really damn nice and sweet. Said much about the older brother too.
"Heh," he hummed impressed, eating a bit of his own, plain cooked rice with eggs."I can´t do something like that. Last time I tried to help Kasuka I blew up an egg in the microwave-"
"Pfft-" Soft coughing caught the blond´s ears as the raven had almost chocked on the rice he was eating.
"What the hell Shizu-chan?!" he asked, now right out laughing.
"I have no idea how that happened!" Shizuo said quickly, still remembering the mess in the kitchen. "It just suddenly went BOOM."
Holding his tummy Izaya just laughed more and more.
"Was, was your brother mad?" he asked, wiping a tear at the corner of his eyes.
"Kasuka? No. He just stood there, expressionless. But his eyebrow twitched I swear he was angry as fuck-"
Seriously- the raven laughed, just imagining that little brother of his, watching that scene in the kitchen was hilarious enough as it was.
"Please remind me to never let you step into a kitchen when I´m near," Izaya sighed, catching his breath. Of all the incidents in kitchens, whether he cooked alone or with his siblings they certainly never had any accidents of that magnitude.
Exploding an egg in the microwave, really now, that sounded so like Shizu-chan.
Looking at his own bento the raven cringed a bit, stabbing the plum that had been waiting on top of the rice, staring at him like the gross little shit it was.
"Oh, that looks tasty." Raising an eyebrow the raven twisted his head, looking at the blond in doubt.
"Seriously? I hate plums." Raising it to eye level he looked at the black wrinkly excuse of food with a frown.
"What? They are the best thing about the entire bento, geez," Izaya grinned at that. The best huh?
"Well, then there you go-" he announced, and before the blond could even ask what he meant-
Ah-
The plum- had already found its way into his mouth. Shizuo blinked, the chopsticks retreating as Izaya merely grinned at him.
"I got rid of it, you are happy, I am happy, what's more~?" he announced, while Shizuo tasted the sweet treat on his tongue, a weird kind of heat finding its way into his face as he merely nodded.
Hearing the loud sound of the school´s bell ringing once more, announcing the end of the break the raven got up with a sigh.
And Shinra, Shinra could only sit there and stare at the two in awe.
"Ah well, we should head back to class now," pulling off the warm vest he had been borrowing he smiled at the blond, "Thanks."
"S no big deal."
He couldn´t believe Izaya was this blind. Getting up from his seat quickly he grabbed his empty bento box and hurried after the raven.
"Ah wait Izaya, I will come with you," The raven turned around fascinated by Shinra´s behavior today.
"You are awfully clingy today," he commented with a chuckle, not minding it in particular though. The future doctor just shrugged, walking alongside the raven as the door behind them closed, leaving the blond alone on the roof.
Shinra knew he couldn't say anything because Shizuo was most probably going to kill him if he did, and he really didn´t want to pry that much either, but he couldn´t help but wonder what exactly Izaya was thinking of the blond at the moment.
After all they had made out on the trip, so- there had to be at least some sort of mutual feeling, right?
"Say Izaya, do you always give away indirect kisses like that?" Blinking obviously confused the raven looked at the friend next to him.
"What?"
"You know, that," Shinra started, wondering how to put it, "You sorta fed Shizuo."
Actually Shinra expected Izaya to think about it, or thought that maybe he had been right about his hunch and Izaya wasn´t as clueless as he was pretending to be. But all that hope came crushing down when Izaya just laughed really hard.
"Shinra you really are funny sometimes. Shizuo´s a beast, giving him food, that´s like feeding a puppy," Izaya chuckled, making the brunette somehow feel really bad for the blond.
Ahhhh...
There was no hope for Shizuo, was there...?
