-๑-๑ ๑- Chapter 24: Shinra and...?! -๑ ๑-๑-

-Shizuo´s point of view.-

"Good morning, Shizuo~!" Oh god, no.

The blond groaned as he tried to stifle a yawn coming up from his throat. School seriously was always starting way too early for his taste.

Why not only go there in the afternoon? He could have his peace in the morning then, sleep long too- and he wouldn't have to deal with way too happy Shinra´s either.

"How can you be so freaking happy this early in the morning?" he asked with a frown on his forehead. Seriously, if not Izaya, then that guy managed to annoy him.

Shinra merely grinned though, skipping along sides the blond.

"Someone seems to be in a great mood today~" he chirped busily flipping through his textbook.

Ah, right, the first class was history, wasn't it? This time Shizuo actually felt confident to be able to actually pass one of the teacher´s exams.

The blond just shrugged, his mood bettering bit by bit as he recalled the dates and names he had memorized the day before. After the little study session he had had with Izaya he had straight gone home to study, and dang, this was the first time in his life he actually enjoyed studying.

"Some people pissed me off, that's all," he answered the brunette as his mood gradually started to lift, the memory of the guys in the morning asking him for a fight fading more and more into the distance.

That´s right, today he would surprise his teacher by knowing every answer to everything she asked.

"People?" the brunette suddenly repeated, stopping in his steps. The blond blinked as the brunette´s usually so carefree expression changed into one he rarely saw. Almost serious.

"Don't tell me you fought with Izaya," Shinra asked, his eyes seeming somewhat accusing, somewhat worrying. Honestly, sometimes the blond wished he were able to read the guy's thoughts. With Izaya, seriously?

"What? No, of course not." He was trying to be friends with the flea after all. Not to mention that Shinra knew about his feelings for Izaya as well.

The brunette´s expression relaxed, seeming as though he was relieved about something.

"He kicked me out of his house after he helped me study," the blond clarified, still thinking it was somewhat odd how he basically threw him out. Then again he had spontaneously invited him over after all, who knew if his parents even agreed to that sort of invitation.

His father had seemed like he hadn't expected anyone to be home but Izaya to say the least.

"What? Izaya tutored you?" the brunette repeated astonished, making the blond snap out of his thoughts.

"Ah, yeah he did…" he admitted, feeling somewhat abashed by it- not to mention that it was somewhat embarrassing to actually need tutoring, the fact that Shinra knew about what he was feeling for the raven didn't exactly better the situation either.

"Hooo, you two all alone at his home~?" Shinra chirped instantly, making the blond groan internally. "Did something happen I should know off?"

"Shinra-!" Shizuo hissed, quickly letting his eyes trail left and right to see if anyone was close enough to listen to the brunette. But as always people were keeping a good amount of distance to both of them.

"What? The way you two were making out on the trip it's not that hmpf-" Glasses flying beautifully in the air reflected the early sunlight gracefully as a certain blond´s book found its way into the brunette's face.

Ah. Love was a gorgeous thing, now wasn't it?

Stomps faded into the distance really quick and by the time Shinra had found his glasses on the ground and put them back on his nose the blond was already far down the corridor.

"Don't kill anyone with your books~" he managed to chirp laughing as the blond disappeared around the corner.

That Shinra- seriously.

Expression grim and frown deep the blond headed for the school's lockers. Shinra did that on purpose didn't he? Shizuo swore, if anyone ever noticed just what that idiot was rambling about he was going to punch him out of Japan.

Tilting his head the blond sighed- well, out of Raira would probably be more appropriate, he didn't actually want to kill that weirdo after all.

It was only then that he noticed the odd stares his classmates were giving him. Ah, he was a bit mad after all, they were probably thinking he was on his search for Izaya or something.

Maybe for a fight or something else. Who knew maybe they had just noticed how peaceful his days seemed to be considering he hadn't actually chased Izaya around for at least a week by now.

It was odd wasn´t it? They were probably expecting some kind of huge fight, or maybe-

Oh.

Or… not.

Blinking the blond stared at a certain someone on the ground.

Leaning against the lockers… sleeping.

Izaya.

Blinking a few times the blond wondered whether he was just imagining things, but the way everyone around them seemed to start whispering and rambling things about how he was going to kick the flea out he supposed he was not.

Was the flea seriously just sleeping here?!

Crouched down on the ground he had pulled his knees up, his cheek pressing against his knees and his eyes were closed.

Seriously, he looked so peaceful like that. Why was he sleeping here though?

It was then that the awfully familiar sound of the school bell´s ringing reached the blond´s ears and the people around him actually started to move.

Well, everyone except for Izaya.

While everyone simple left, not wanting to risk getting scolded by the teacher or involved into the anticipated fight, Shizuo was still there and of course the sleeping raven.

And suddenly he was all alone. Awkwardness suddenly started to take over the blond´s mind as he wondered what to do.

…. was he supposed to wake the flea?

Izaya did skip a lot of lessons, so maybe he should just leave… but then again, why was he sleeping here then? He knew if he wanted to skip lessons Izaya would either head to the roof or infirmary with some kind of excuse.

Chest heaving up and down softly and slowly the raven seemed to have the best sleep of his life right beneath his locker.

Maybe he just fell asleep?

The blond wondered what to do- ahhh… what was there to wonder about? he couldn't just leave the flea here sleeping.

Ah, the most difficult part was coming up now though, how was he supposed to wake him up? Shake him? No, that seemed too cruel. Shizuo hated being woken up in the first place but if he really had to get up he preferred something more peaceful.

"Izaya?" he tried, hoping the raven would just open his eyes right away- but oh of course the flea seemed to be asleep so freaking tight that he didn't even flinch at the sound of his own name-

"Hey," the blond tried again, softly poking the raven´s shoulder- hoping touch would wake him up at least.

…..

It did not.

Ah fuck-

"Waking timeee," he tried again, this time placing his whole hand on the raven´s shoulder softly shaking the louse. It was only after another "hey" that the raven finally stirred.

Slowly but surely the raven´s eyes opened, blinking slowly as he rubbed his eyes.

"Shizu-chan? What are you doing in my bedroom?" the raven asked groggily, and for a second Shizuo couldn't really say anything as he was too mesmerized by how cute the raven seemed to be- he almost regretted waking the flea up from his sweet dreams.

"Uhm, Izaya this is school," he answered after gaping at the raven for what felt like a minute and cleared his throat.

The raven's eyebrow rose in confusion, he glanced right, he glanced left-

"Oh." He was at school after all.

"Must have fallen asleep after getting here," he mumbled as another yawn tore from his lips, swallowing the rest of his words almost completely.

The blond couldn't help but laugh.

"Seriously, in front of the lockers? You must have been pretty tired then." A groan was to be heard and the raven pushed himself off the ground. Red lines were decorating his cheek, having rested on his knee like this.

Another yawn ripped from his lips and the raven glanced at the clock, noticing that it was already past the break.

he was about to tease the blond for being late to classes again because of him, but ah a certain someone interrupted him before he could even start to speak.

"Izaya? What are you doing here?" A certain bespectacled friend was suddenly in the hallway, approaching both of them fairly quickly.

Shizu-chan seemed to be as surprised as him at the brunette's sight.

"Why aren't you in class?" Shinra heard the blond ask- funny considering he was supposed to know just which lesson he was skipping on.

"The history teacher asked the same and told me to fetch you instantly," he informed the blond and he swore he saw the blond´s expression drop before he even finished his sentence. "She wants to have a serious chat after class with you."

"Fuck," was the only word leaving Shizuo's mouth- ah they both knew it wasn't exactly good if a teacher asked you to stay behind for a chat.

But more importantly, right now Shinra was more curious why Izaya was here. Sure, he had left pretty early in the morning after using his father's make up- he seriously had no idea why the man even possessed some. Thinking about it why did that guy really possess makeup? he doubted it was for himself, and even if he always wore a mask anyway.

So Izaya used it, covered up his blue eye and headed out for school to prevent any stupid rumors from rising. Somewhat around 6am or even earlier.

Seeing the two of them here together now made his senses tingle a a grin slipped onto his face.

"So, what are you two doing here~?" he chirped, knowing that it probably wasn't anything extraordinary, but hey, hope dies last doesn´t it?

"He was sleeping," the blond informed, all too nonchalant, leaving the brunette to internally sigh. Of course.

Twisting his head towards the still yawning raven he noted the male was pretty damn good at using makeup. Maybe because of his sisters? Anyway there was nothing to be seen of the blue eye except for a tiny cut hiding beneath his bangs. Shinra was only able to discern that much though because he knew what he was looking for.

A grin sneaked onto his expression as he chirped on.

"Had a rough night~?" he purred, knowing exactly just what kind of sleep he was.

A frown creased through Izaya's forehead while the blond was only left to speak a baffled Huh.

"Of course I had! You kept me up all night!" Izaya complained making the brunette's grin grew even wider. Ahhh yes, sleep talking and sleepwalking sure had to be annoying in the middle of the night. He didn't exactly know what he had done but considering he had had the feeling he stepped onto something too soft to be the floor tonight when he woke up for a second, and hearing some sort of annoyed his and rambling afterwards before he found himself laying in bed again he had a slight feeling he knew what he did.

"Shinra did?!" Shizuo suddenly said, with a voice that sounded so damn surprised it made the brunette pause.

It was only then that it clicked inside his head and an uncontrollable smirk drew across his expression.

"Aw, I'm sorry, are you still hurting though? You were gone when I woke up," Shinra chirped on, barely keeping his laughter as the blond´s expressed faded to something that seemed almost like shock.

Seriously. sometimes he wondered what was going on in Shizuo's head- as if he and Izaya-

"Nah it's all better already. The cream you used helped." A snort escaped the brunette's lips at that response-

That-

Perfect oh god. He doubted Izaya knew just how ambiguous that just sounded.

"What cream?" the blond asked petrified and Shinra had to give his best to not just start laughing right away- which was pretty damn hard because his expression was priceless.

"Talking about it, I wanted to ask if I can borrow that cream. I was thinking of using it myself at home."

Done- Shinra was seriously done. For the tiniest split of a second he wondered whether Izaya was doing this on purpose- the embarrassed yet shocked expression accompanied by a special kind of red tinting the blond´s cheeks made the brunette die laughing. Seriously he couldn't even hold back anymore.

"Sure, sure, go ahead, I give it to you," he wheezed, not yet willing to solve the riddle for the blond yet.

"What's so funny, Shinra?" Izaya asked with the slightest hint of a frown. That four eyed idiot, did he actually remember stepping on him in the night or why was he laughing that much? He thought he was gonna die when that foot suddenly came down on him in the middle of his sleep for fucks sake- not that he didn't know about Shinra´s sleepwalking, but he did hope he would have one of his more peaceful nights.

"You and Shinra...-" Shizuo suddenly mumbled, not exactly making much sense.

"What?" Izaya asked, wondering whether he had missed something here. The brute seemed like he was trying to say something. "Did, did he treat you nice?"

Huh? Confused the raven blinked, wondering just what kind of impression Shizuo had of the four eyed idiot.

"What's with that kind of question? Of course, he always does." As if Shinra would hurt anyone on purpose while fixing them up. the laughter growing louder and louder the raven looked at the person in question who seemed to be having the time of his life right over there.

"What are you laughing about Shinra?" Wheezing the brunette was holding his tummy and shaking his head.

"I can't take it anymore," he laughed, wiping away a tear from the corner of his eyes as he turned to Shizu-chan.

"Shizuo, he is talking about a cut on his head that I fixed for him," he explained, making the blond not only feel relieved, but also pretty damn stupid.

"A cut?" he repeated, making the raven raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah? I slept over after he fixed it up." Wait, he thought Shizu-chan knew about the visit. he had been so sure Shinra would have already told him about it- but if the wasn´t it, then-

"What did you think I was-"

… OH.

"Nothing, nevermind-!" the blond instantly said, but Izaya had already connected the dots of their conversation.

"Oh my god get your mind out of the gutter!" What the hell was that idiot thinking about?

And Shinra, Shinra was still laughing his ass off.

"That's Shinra´s fault!" Shizu-chan tried to defend himself- only now the horrified expression he had worn made sense- and now, was that the slightest hint of a blush on Shizu-chan´s cheeks? Aw the brute was embarrassed wasn't he? For a moment he had considered chopping Shinra´s head off for pulling this shit on them, but seeing how amusing this was right now he decided not to.

Snorting the raven waged the situation as one he could use to tease him with for later.

"Says the one that imagines Shinra and me doing naughty things," he purred with the sweetest smile, only making the blonds embarrassment grow even worse.

"That-!" the raven snorted, the blond wasn't even able to complete his sentence as he just turned around and stomped away.

"Lesson now-" he mumbled gruff- The raven grinned, the battle was lost and Shizu-chan definitely wasn't the winner.

"See you at midday break Shizuo," the brunette chirped as Shizuo turned around to embarrassed glare at him once more. "I'm going to fucking murder you," he announced, not sounding too convincing though.

"Eh, why me?!" Shinra whined, laughter still layered in his voice though as the blond disappeared. "You misunderstood all by yourself!" he repeated, but the blond was already gone.

Izaya just stood next to the brunette shaking his head.

"Sometimes I wonder what´s going on in your head Shinra," he announced before grabbing his stuff leaning against the school lockers. The brunette merely grinned.

"Ah, if you knew Izaya," he chuckled and suddenly there was an idea surfacing from the back of his mind.

"Say," he started, "what do you think about Shizuo?"
