-๑-๑ ஜ ๑- Chapter 25: Sheming Shinra-๑ ஜ ๑-๑-
-Izaya´s point of view.-
Blinking the raven turned towards his friend, letting the question pass through his head once more, but it still didn't exactly make much sense the second time either. What he thought about Shizu-chan?
"What do you mean?" he inquired, hoping for the future doctor to go more into detail.
The grin the guy showed at the question already gave away that asking for more details had not exactly been the wisest decision-
"Well I remember a certain night on a school trip where I ran into you two, having-" with a groan the raven covered his friend´s mouth with his palm getting the guy to shut up quickly before anyone would hear what he was rambling- although actually no one was out in the hallways since lessons had already started, but nevermind.
"Do you have to bring that up?" the raven mumbled, leaving off the brunette as he felt something akin to embarrassment surface in his mind- well maybe not exactly embarrassment he just couldn't stand the fact that Shinra kept bringing up the topic time after time.
It wasn't like he regretted what they did - oh my god where was his thinking even leading to, of course he regretted it.
"I´m still wondering why you started it in the first place," Shinra continued, getting to the root of the question. To Izaya it might just seem as if he were teasing him, but oh actually that wasn't exactly the case.
"For fucks sake I was drunk Shinra!" Izaya groaned, hoping that he would drop the topic soon enough, but oh he really didn't know his best friend well enough it seemed.
"You never tried to fuck with me when you got drunk though." The blunt way Shinra put it almost made the raven choke on air-
"That-"
"So?" Unwavering shina stared at the raven, and for a tiny little moment it seemed as though Shinra wasn't just making fun of him but rather asking a serious question.
It threw the raven off to say the least and he kept his mouth shut on whatever reply had been about to slip from his lips.
Why, huh? He knew Shinra wasn't stupid even though he acted weird most of the time- he had a point. It wasn't just the alcohol that made him do it, Izaya knew himself well enough to say at least that much- not even under the influence of alcohol would he act this way.
And yet- ahhhh why did he even do that?
"I don't know okay, can we just leave it?" the raven grumbled, their class already getting in sight.
"Are you trying to avoid my questions?" Shinra continued, not intending to give up at all, after all he had a plan.
"I´m not avoiding anything."
"Except talking about that night." Again the raven shut up and honestly the more Izaya kept quiet the more Shinra found himself thinking that maybe Shizu-chan´s chances weren't as low as he deemed them to be.
Izaya was never someone to just fall silent like this. If anything he would just argue his way out of a conversation, so seeing him rendered speechless like this made him think as though there was something the raven didn't want to tell him.
…
"So?" he asked, gesturing for the raven to move on.
"Shinra what do you even want to hear?" Izaya sighed stopping in front of the classroom's door. This whole conversation wasn't leading anywhere anyway. Shinra was just being annoying on purpose after all-
"I want you to give Shizuo a try." or not.
"... what?" his hand slipping of the door handle again that he had been about to push open the raven looked at the brunette in what could only be described as utter perplexity.
"Wait, what are you talking about?"
"Shizuo."
"You-" At first Izaya was astonished- but then quiet but surely a chuckle made its way up his throat.
"Shizu-chan hates me Shinra." Izaya snorted, trying to keep his voice down as to not catch the teacher's attention inside the class. "Sure he is trying to be friends for some weird kind of reason, but he hated me, there is no way he would even remotely consider this sort of idea." Honestly, what was even going on in Shira´s mind?
Shizu-chan would probably kill him if he heard him spout this kind of nonsense.
"Shizu-chan would never-"
"Is there a reason you are only saying how Shizuo wouldn't want that?" And suddenly the laughter died on Izaya's lips as he blinked- almost triumphantly Shinra cheered inside his mind. Izaya looked like he wanted to say something and yet his lips remained sealed.
Hah! He knew it.
...
It wasn't like Izaya hadn't considered the idea.
When Shizu-chan was over at his place, when they were studying and he mentioned the trip, something... the raven didn't know what it was. That moment he almost wanted to ask the blond about that night. What he thought of it, why he had even went along with it in the first place-
Yeah actually that one question was still there in the back of his mind. Why he even kissed him back that is.
It would have been a mindless question and after looking at the blond´s red face the raven couldn't bring himself to say it and yet- he really wanted to know the answer.
"Just shut up Shinra," he finally groaned, hoping the future doctor would finally drop the topic. "It's a stupid idea."
Hmm, a stupid idea, huh?
Shinra didn't really think it was as the two finally entered the classroom, a short moment of silence passed among the students and the teacher as they took their seats- well it wasn't like the teacher was going to scold them anyway, Izaya was barely attending school when he didn't feel like wasting time in the classroom, so if anything the teacher was probably just glad his favourite student was present today.
Shinra honestly wondered how Izaya pulled off to be this smart and good at studies when he barely even showed up for class.
Sometimes Shinra had the feeling he might as well be bribing them with some sort of secret- but then again he knew just how smart Izaya was so that option seemed kinda unrealistic.
Propping his book up the brunette slipped out his phone, hiding it behind the piece of literature as he quickly typed away on it.
After all, he had something to accomplish, didn't he?
Character after character appeared on the screen and after finishing the message he slid the phone back into his pocket with a triumphant grin.
He couldn't wait to see Shizuo's face~
And Shizuo, Shizuo didn't even know what to expect when he suddenly felt his phone vibrate against his thigh. He didn't have any friends except for Shinra and they certainly didn't write on a constant basis, if anything Shizuo had told him to not annoy him.
So he was pretty surprised to actually spot Shinra´s name on his phone´s screen as he discreetly pulled it out of his pocket.
(Meet up with us after school at the shoe lockers, Izaya might not hate you as much as you think he does. C;)
For a moment the blond could do nothing but stare at the screen in front of him.
What- what did he mean Izaya didn't hate him as much as he thought he did? Swallowing the blond tried to keep his hopes down, after all this was Shinra he was talking about he might as well just have mixed something up- and yet he couldn't help but feel a small spark of hope and excitement grow.
Why would Shinra say that? Did he talk to Izaya? Did Izaya say something about him? Curiosity was eating him alive as he stared at a phone almost begging it to tell him more, but the metallic device remained silent.
Shinra didn´t say too much right? He didn't tell izaya about- about the way he felt towards him, right?
A feeling of doom made itself noticeable as the blond imagined Shinra doing exactly that.
What if Shinra thought he would do him a favour confessing in his pace? What if izaya thought it was a joke or worse wanted to tease him with that from now on?
Shizuo had never been someone to care much about those kind of things but now thinking about it he couldn't help but feel his stomach churn a bit.
"Heiwajima-san do you want to share this with the entire class?"
"What?" the blond replied, snapping out of his thoughts and away from his phone as he looked up at a pretty pissed history teacher-
Crap.
"Heiwajima-san, I want to see you in my consultation hour, tomorrow 5pm sharp," the teacher announced with a smile on her lips that reminded Shizuo of the nurse´s one- she definitely was not amused despite looking so-
"Yes, Sensei…" Shizuo mumbled, quickly shoving the phone back inside his pocket.
Well great. He was so going to kill Shinra-
-midday break. Izaya´s point of view.-
A sneeze ripped from the brunette's nose as the bell finally rang announcing the last lesson of the day.
"Ah don't tell me I'm getting a cold," the bespectacled friend cried, making Izaya roll his eyes in response as he collected his books from the table.
"One sneeze doesn't mean you are going to get sick Shinra," he announced while shoving everything into his school bag.
"How do you know? I might as well already be sick," Shinra rambled on, and suddenly the brunette was right in front of the raven, arms spread for what seemed to be an attempt of hugging the raven.
"Here have my germs~" he chirped, through Izaya didn't even blink and just crossed his arms in front of his body with an eyebrow risen.
"Not going to move away?" the future doctor asked, still frozen in the action.
"I told you, you aren't sick why would I move away?" A pout drew across Shinra´s lips and he lowered his hand with a sigh.
"Geez you're no fun."
"Sure, sure, now why did I have to attend the last lesson?" Usually Izaya would skip the last lesson and head home earlier to be there before his sisters arrived, but for some reason Shinra had requested for him to stay- he didn't exactly know why but the teacher had already entered the room so he figured he would do the brunette the favour.
He was curious about the reason though.
"No reason actually~"
Nevermind, he was killing this guy.
"You are kidding," the raven mumbled in disbelief, but that oh so innocent and silly grin Shinra was wearing was only confirming his suspicion.
"I was just bored and didn't want to endure the lesson alone."
…
"I'm heading home-"
"Ahhh, wait Izaya!" instantly the brunette was clinging to the raven's back trying to get him to stay. Sighing the raven halted.
"What now?" Honestly he was a tiny bit fed up with the brunette for today. He had been sleeping at his place, was stepped upon and after what had happened yesterday he really just wanted to get a peace of mind for once.
Grinning the brunette was smiling at him.
"Could you walk by my shoe locker? I sorta got detention and someone is waiting for this." With those words he handed the raven what seemed to be a folded piece of paper. Raising an eyebrow the raven took the object but looked at his bespectacled friend instead.
"You got detention?" Shinra wasn't exactly what he would have called a delinquent nor had he ever caused commotion or trouble inside the school- the thought that a teacher actually made him stay behind for something he did really got the raven curious.
"Last chemic lesson I kinda exaggerated the experiments," Shinra merely stated, making the raven snort in response.
"Why am I not surprised?" Taking a look at the small piece of paper he had received the raven wondered why Shinra wasn't just texting this person.
"You do know I could just read this?" he questioned, flipping the folded piece of paper between his fingers.
"But you won't because I trust you."
… wow.
Shinra was long gone and the raven now on his way to the shoe lockers as he looked at the damned piece of paper in his hand once more.
To be honest Izaya had really been curious and intended to look what his friend was making him carry around like this.
But with this- sheer amount of trust… he couldn´t. Even if Shinra was never going to know he had looked it seemed sheer impossible to open the piece of paper and spite the brunette weirdo.
Sighing the raven turned around the corner- only to see one certain blond there. Leaning against the lockers he seemed to be waiting for something. Or someone.
"Are you waiting for Shinra?" Seemingly the blond hadn´t expected to meet anyone anymore as he flinched quite surprised at the suddenly voice entering the scene.
"Izaya?" The raven couldn't help but grin, he had obviously expected the brunette and not him.
"Apparently he got detention for experimenting on something he wasn't supposed to. I didn't ask," he explained quickly while letting his eyes trail left and right. Huh fascinating, no one seemed to be here anymore. Usually the lockers would be filled with people at this hour because everyone wanted to leave school.
It was only when he looked past Shizu-chan´s shoulder that he spotted a couple guys on the stairs- glancing towards the blond.
"Detention?" Shizu-chan asked while the raven had to try hard and contain his laughter. Those guys were waiting until the blond was gone.
"There," he said with a small chuckle escaping his lips as he handed the blond the little message he had been given. With a frown on his face the blond took the white paper,
"What is this?" and unfolded it.
"From Shinra," was the only piece of information he got as he folded the paper open.
There were only four words, but they sure made his face suddenly feel really hot as he figured out just what the brunette had planned.
(Good luck with Izaya~!) was written there in hideous handwriting, making the blond´s embarrassment exceed a limit he thought it had already reached.
That fucking idiot-
"Seems Shinra offended you."
"What?" the blond asked, snapping his head back up at the flea. He hadn't read this right? Or did he? Did he see what Shinra wrote?
"Well," the raven started, pointing towards the paper instead, "you crushed it the moment you saw what's inside…?"
Letting his glance follow the raven´s the blond looked at his hands on to see the crumpled piece of paper in it.
"Oh-" he hadn't even noticed- ah fuck just what was he supposed to do now?
Good luck Shinra had said-
…
"Are you heading home now?" the blond asked, already feeling awkward just suggesting what he had in mind.
"Sure, I didn't plan to stay any longer at school than necessary."
"Then, wanna go together?"
-Shinra´s point of view.-
Oh my god he really did it~! Barely able to contain the huge grin that was spreading on his face the brunette watched the two from a window in his classroom.
He had thought Shizuo might not get the hint- not that he was stupid, but who knew if he understood what he had intended with that message.
But he did~! Squealing in joy he watched his two friends walk across the campus- together.
"Go for it Shizuo~!" the future doctor chirped as he threw his own bag over his shoulder.
Well then, now it was his turn to head home. That is until the door to the classroom opened with a thud.
"Kishitani-kun what are you still doing at class?" Seeing one of their teachers in the entrance the bespectacled hurriedly headed for the door.
"Ah, sorry sensei, I just forgot one of my books," but oh, that wasn't what he should have said, because suddenly the teacher merely grinned and the brunette felt something grab him by the handle of his school bag.
"Oh well, great timing actually," the teacher chirped, "I could use some help in classroom 3B, would you be so kind Kishitani-kun?"
"Ehhh?" The poor bespectacled male wasn't even asked as he got dragged down the hall-
But he wanted to go home too-!
