-๑-๑ ஜ ๑- Chapter 29: Home alone -๑ ஜ ๑-๑-
-Shizuo´s point of view.
Scared, maybe intimidated or both of those together the students from the campus walked out of their school. The bell had rung mere seconds ago, but a certain blond haired male was already standing at the gate, waiting.
And the glance that was settled on his expression was anything but... well friendly. Leaning against the iron rods of the gate leading inside this institution that was called school, Shizu-chan couldn´t ease that frown off his face- a frown that didn't originate from anger this time, nope, this time it was originating from nervousness.
He had mindlessly invited the flea over to his place, kissed him just like he suggested as well- and now- hell he had no idea what he was supposed to do with the flea at home!
Like, were they supposed to just talk? Was Izaya going to bring stuff up on his own? Or maybe they were going to kiss again- truth being told Shizuo totally wouldn't mind kissing Izaya again, heck just the idea of kissing the flea at home when noone was going to interrupt them for once and no one had to leave was exhilarating him- and yet at the same time he was so nervous and worried about fucking up perhaps.
Maybe the flea expected something entirely different? Maybe he didn't expect anything at all…? Hell Shizuo had no idea-
And what about their talk from before? If they weren't lovers then what were they really?
They were no friends, that much was already clear, but then what? Shizuo didn't even have any sort of frame he could work with to find out just what he was supposed or allowed to do and what not-
And hell the flea was already complicated enough as it was.
growling and mumbling to himself even the teacher´s were keeping their distance as the blond walked in circles.
"Shizu-chan~" feeling his heart skip a beat the blond snapped his head around, the panic in his mind tumbling over setting every decent thought he had been holding onto aflame-
Only for his eyes to glance upon a certain brunette friend of his that was laughing his ass off at the blond´s expression.
"C-can´t believe it worked," he wheezed, rising those damned glasses of his to wipe away a tear drop forming at the edge of his eyes.
Groaning the blond ruffled through his hair, somewhat embarrassed, somewhat annoyed as he glared at the future doctor.
"What the hell are you calling me Shizu-chan for? Want to fight? Huh?" the blond grumbled, not really impressing the old friend at all though. Well… it wasn't like he was going to actually fight Shinra.
"No, I just thought- oh my god are you really this nervous? You looked like you did when Izaya threw that bug at you back on the trip," Shinra laughed, putting his glasses back on his face again.
"Oh shut up, I would like to see you if you were going to a… to-"
grinning widely the brunette tilted his head, fishing for the word that somehow didn't spill from the blond´s lips.
"A date~?" It was amazing, in all those years he had seen many things from the blond- the most unbelievable stunts, injuries, expressions of rage, really he thought whatever Shizuo did he wouldn't be able to surprise him anymore, but seeing him this anxious and nervous as well as happy was something he hadn't quite seen coming.
"It's not- just, we are meeting up, okay?" said blond mumbled, a tinge of red dying his cheeks as he averted his gaze.
"All alone in your room, after school~" Shinra purred and dang at that moment Shizuo really pondered on punching the guy just so that he was going to shut up already.
"Don't you have to go home to that imaginary girlfriend of yours or something?" he questioned, hoping that please, Shinra would be gone before the raven came out of that damned school.
"She isn't imaginary, how many times do I have to tell you?" Shinra sighed, shaking his head, but not without flashing another smirk before patting the blond on his shoulder, "Good luck with Izaya~" and turning away, finally leaving to the blond´s relief.
Honestly when he imagined that Shinra might as well have decided to stay and make fun of him again while Izaya was there he really would have murdered the guy.
… talking about it, the flea was kinda late.
Slowly but surely the people on the campus were starting to vanish, passing the school gate, hopping into the car of their parents, there were maybe four or five people left that were still too absorbed in their conversations to leave yet.
Leaning his back against the wall next to the gate the blond let his head thud against the cool material. Maybe he had already headed home? Or changed his mind?
Considering the flea had always been running from him it would be no real surprise for the blond if he really just left without saying a word.
After all he had told Shizuo they weren't lovers or anything, maybe he had changed his mind?
Closing his eyes the blond sighed softly- okay Izaya wasn't that late yet, maybe he just got held up, by the teachers maybe, or the other-
"Are you sleeping?" flinching the blond´s eyes snapped back open, his head tilting forward- only to meet a resistance he hadn't quite seen coming.
"God damnit, Shizu-chan," a groan followed, the blond feeling the familiar feeling of soft thrumming pain beating against his forehead.
The flea was standing in front of him, rubbing his forehead as well with a cringe decorating his expression. For fucks sake-
"Sorry-" Shizuo had managed to blurt out, having managed to actually snap his head forward and bump together with the flea head on.
A snort was all that followed though, the usual grin Izaya always wore reappearing on his face as he rose an eyebrow.
"I knew you were hitting on me, but this is a bit too much don't you think?" he mused, picking the school bag he had been carrying with him back up from the ground. He must have dropped it upon being hit.
"That's only because you were sneaking up on me," the blond argued, but the undeniable heat of embarrassment for fucking up before they were even at home was making busting the blond way too easily, "Why were you so late anyway, I thought you might have gone home already," he continued, switching the topic quickly so the flea would let him off the hook.
A grin sneaked across his lips as he tilted his head, "And miss my chance to inspect the monster´s habitat?" the flea teased and for a moment Shizuo didn't quite know whether he was supposed to be offended or be glad Izaya wasn't mocking him in a different way.
"Oh shut up, flea."
"Daw, still that nickname?" the raven asked with a fake pout.
"You didn't drop the Shizu-chan either."
"I thought I wasn't supposed to do that?" After all Shizu-chan had told him on the trip he preferred being called the way he always had or else he would think Izaya was just trying to mock him.
"No, right," the blond mumbled just as expected. Taking a few steps past the blond Izaya implied for the blond to get moving already, and he did, walking past the gate with Izaya.
"So," the raven started, cars passing on the street as they walked together on the pavement. "Any plans?" he questioned catching the blond off guard.
"What?" Confusion was making itself noticeable as he looked at the raven.
"Well you invited me to your place, what are we gonna do? Stare at each other till one of us drops dead?" the raven asked, a muffled laughter bubbling from his throat as Shizu-chan just stared at him like a deer caught in headlights.
"No, of course not-" he repeated, not quite answering the raven's question though.
"Want another history lesson then?" the raven suggested, seeing as the last time they met up had been in order to tutor the blond in terms of studying correctly.
"... would you wear the glasses again?" Blinking the raven glanced at the blond.
"...huh?" he said, "You got something against my glasses?"
"No," the blond answered quickly, "the opposite, they looked good on you-" only to realize a second after having spilled the words just how embarrassing they had to sound.
"Is that so," the raven hummed and god Shizuo couldn't help but avert his eyes, he could already imagine that grin on Izaya's lips saying something like this.
But oh he was so wrong- because glancing at the flea he was not showing the mocking grin, no, instead Shizuo wasn't able to see the flea's face at all. Averted he could only see but the ears, a hint of red colouring them.
Maybe saying that sort of thing wasn't such a bad move after all.
Noticing the familiar surroundings the blond stopped in front of a small house.
"Here we are," he announced, opening the small gate to the door.
"... What you are living this close to school?" Izaya questioned, following right after while the blond unlocked the door.
"Uh, yes?" To be honest Shizuo was pretty surprised the raven did not know where he lived, seeing how he seemed to know everything else it came as a surprise.
"...hmmm," well that explained why Izaya couldn't find the blond after school hours. With this short route back home he was gone from the raven's sight way too fast.
"I'm home," the door had been opened, the bags were tossed into a corner as the blond said those words.
For a second Izaya imagined that brother of his to come around the corner or maybe Shizu-chan´s mother? He couldn't help but be curious what kind of person she was going to be.
But no answer came.
It was dead quiet in the house.
"No one is home?" the raven questioned, speaking the dreading truth out loud as the blond realized.
"Ah- yeah, I forgot Kasuka is still at school and mum is- uh-" Crap.
Crap, crap crap-
"Heh," the raven hummed glancing at the blond with that mischievous glint in his eyes, "So we are alone aren't we? Did you plan this?"
Like a feeling of doom the realization hit the blond- they were alone at home- alone, alone- oh god.
"Of course not-" he hastily replied, only increasing the flea´s amusement.
Izaya knew he hadn't, Shizu-chan was just too much of an airhead for Izaya to expect him to know the schedule of others. Hell he doubted Shizu-chan even remembered his timetable at school without Shinra there to tell him.
"Your room?" he questioned instead, looking down was seemed to be a corridor leading to a couple rooms.
"Ah," walking in front the blond was faster with showing than moving it seemed as he stalked towards his room, ripping that door open in a manner that made Izaya wonder if he ever accidentally ripped one of these doors out of its hinges.
Stepping inside he let his eyes travel across the new sight.
It was simple, quite like the blond was. A bed, desk along with a cupboard next to the window was all the furniture he seemed to own. It made him wonder what the blond was doing when he wasn't busting up gangs and destroying the city.
"And now?" Izaya questioned, making the blond turn towards him- Shizuo was just glad there were no dirty socks laying around anywhere or any other embarrassing stuff like that.
"What?" he repeated, watchin the flea as he sat down on his bed, looking out of the window before flashing him that grin of his.
"Wanna do something naughty now that your parents aren't here?" Shizuo swore he almost choked on air there, "Wh-what?" but the flea was hella amused by his reaction it seemed.
"I was just joking Shizu-chan, but your reaction was fabulous," the raven announced only laughing so much more-
"Really funny, yeah," the blond grumbled, not knowing yet if he should feel angry or embarrassed about the flea´s teasing.
"Come on, you have been thinking about it, don't deny it, you got really red when you noticed we are by ourselves," Izaya sighed, letting himself fall back into those comfortable fluffy sheets of Shizu-chan´s bed.
"I wasn't," was the gruff reply that followed, the blond slumping down on the floor , his back leaning against the bed as one of that annoyed frowns Izaya was used to see crossed his face.
"Aw, come on don't look like that," the raven pouted, rolling over so he was laying on the edge. One arm dropping of the bed he lifted it, poking Shizu-chan´s cheek- and honestly speaking, he felt as though he was tasing a bull there when the blond´s eyes flicked towards him in a questioning glance.
Who knew how he was going to react? It was exciting. Everything about this whole situation was exciting.
"You have one of those really deep frowns on your face. The ones you have when chasing me usually~" he purred, teased, wondering what the blond was going to do if he poked him on his forehead next-
But oh he didn't get to execute his action anymore as there was suddenly a pair of hands wrapping around him in a smooth fashion.
"Wha-" before he knew it he found himself being pulled down from the bed, landing in the blond´s lap, arms crossed as the blond was keeping ahold of each of his wrists.
Blinking the raven looked at the blond from underneath-
"... what are you doing Shizu-chan?" he snorted even while being trapped like this. At any other moment he would have probably already been trying to escape. But now? Shizu-chan wasn't out anymore to kill him after all.
"...caught you so you can´t be an annoying little louse anymore," the blond simply announced, and that gruff and as a matter of fact expression he was wearing was only amusing the raven even more.
"Should I be scared?" he purred, but it was quite obvious he was just teasing the blond- well not like he couldn't do that too!
"Maybe. Might squish you," Shizuo answered while tightening his grip on the flea just a little bit more- but of course not in a way that was going to actually hurt the flea. no if anything it was nothing but a bear hug- causing Izaya to do nothing but laugh of course.
Letting go of the raven again the blond leant back against the edge of his bed- but instead of getting up and off the blond Izaya's plans seemed to go into a different direction as he simply stayed there, making himself comfortable in his lap it seemed.
"Not going to run?" Shizuo questioned, an eyebrow risen at the action.
"Nah, you are comfy actually. " Izaya announced while looking up at the blond´s face. Heh. Looking down at him like that Shizu-chan´s blond hair dangeled downwards and the raven could catch a glimpse of brown hidden within the blond colour.
Reaching up his fingers reached for one of those strains.
"Originally you have brown hair, right? Why did you dye it?" the raven suddenly questioned, the blond´s cheeks somehow feeling kinda hot as the flea was still playing around with his hair.
"Tom-san gave me that idea," he answered truthfully, "He said if I was easy recognizable then some thugs would stop picking a fight with me if they know who I am."
"Smart move," izaya added with a hum, finally letting go of that strain.
"Yeah, just that now it also helps gangs find me."
Oh.
"You mean like the ones I send?" Izaya grinned, misschievous- after all he had caused the blond quite a lot of trouble- well and still was to be honest. He didn't really plan to stop doing that anytime soon.
"Like the ones you send, yeah," the blond snorted.
"Ahaha, I apologize for the inconvenience~" Of course Shizuo noticed there was not a shred of guilt hidden in that "apology".
"Sneaky lil shit," he grumbled, although he wasn't actually mad. After all, this was Izaya they were talking about here. Izaya. Orihara-I'm gonna get you into trouble and probs myself as well- Izaya.
These fights and chases that they had hadn't always been that bad.
"How about I give you a kiss as an apology? Would that make up for the fights?" surprised the blond blinked- totally not having seen that coming at all.
"...maybe?" he found himself saying with a voice that could have been taken as a seductive whisper or an unsure answer both at the same time.
Pushing himself up from the ground the raven was suddenly finding himself in a very familiar position. Just like under the tree he had slipped from resting on Shizu-chan´s lap, into sitting there, arms settled on his shoulders, as he leant in for a kiss.
Soft, warm. Carefully and somewhat unsure what to do with his hands the blond decided to let them rest left and right on Izaya's hips as his lips moved against his.
It was exhilarating- exciting. Shizuo felt as though his stomach was doing a backflip, but in a good way- and also craving for something more.
He decided he really, really liked kissing the flea.
But sadly the kiss ended quite as soon as it had started, leaving the two of them to look into each other's eyes.
For a moment the raven was unsure what to do- he had been quite bold.
So far it had always been Shizu-chan somewhat who initiated the kiss or asked for it, except for that moment in the alley, after the chase. But now he was a bit unsure what to do.
"I should make up too for throwing cars and signs at you, don't you think?" Shizu-chan suddenly said and hell Izaya had never been more glad to hear the blond speak.
"You certainly should," he smiled, only for the blond to lean in for another kiss. Izaya could feel Shizu-chan´s hands around him, not quite trapping him, but still holding him close, and gosh how badly he wanted them to pull him just a bit closer.
The first kiss had been soft and somewhat hesitant, now it was gentle, hot- after a second the raven felt a tongue slipping its way beneath his lips sending a ray of pleasant shudders down his back.
This kiss- it reminded him way too much of when they kissed back on the trip.
Parting again the blond looked at the raven as though he was waiting for confirmation, or maybe a scolding, depending what the raven wanted.
"Guess I should make up for making fun of you as well," Izaya hummed as the answer to the unspoken question and their lips found each others once more.
Hell they both already knew they just wanted to kiss more, but somehow finding small little excuses was taking away the uncertainty.
Slowly but surely the flea was feeling hotter and hotter- still sitting in Shizu-chan´s lap was certainly not really helping there and god- what was the blond doing with his hands?
Having rested on his waist they had swiftly slid upwards underneath the raven´s shirt. feeling the blond´s hands travel across the raven´s skin sent pleasant trembles throughout the raven´s body.
"Shizu-chan if you go on like that you will make me feel horny you know-" he laughed softly, breaking the kiss for a moment. Seemingly having realized what he had been doing Shizu-chan averted his eyes for a moment in what the raven clearly defined as embarrassment.
"So, you wanna stop?" he questioned, mumbling quiet and unsure as his eyes glanced back to meet Izaya's gaze.
Ahhh.
Well-
Not exactly no.
"Didn't say that," the raven purred and somehow Shizuo found himself thinking that being home alone was not exactly the worst thing after all.
And yet he hadn't quite intended to feel the raven up like this- and so he removed his hands again, let them slide back down, only to notice something he had already seen once before.
"Did you get into a fight again?" Blue, was staining the beautiful skin of Izaya's stomach and made the blond look up in worry- only to meet Izaya's gaze.
But it wasn't soft, ot wasn't like it had been before.
It was hard. his body had suddenly become tense beneath the blond´s fingertips.
"That's none of your business," was all he said before suddenly getting up and off the blond in a swift and fluent motion. He turned around, opened the blond´s door-
"What are you doing?" but the flea was already out in the hallway. Getting up as well the blond pushed himself off the ground, following the flea right after.
"I forgot, I had to be home at 3 sharp," was the next he heard, spotting the flea as he put his shoes back on and grabbed the school bag he had dropped in the entrance.
"What?" was all the blond managed to utter, because honestly- what just happened? "Wait, Izaya," but his word only fell onto deaf ears as the entrance slipped shut.
For a moment the blond could feel nothing but utter confusion.
"... what the hell?"
Did he say something wrong? Shizuo had no idea what the fuck had just happened. From kissing the flea in his lap to reverting to be this hostile- it awfully reminded him of the trip where Izaya suddenly insulted him, called him monster and stuff despite getting along earlier.
Had he said something wrong again? Or done?
Great.
Shizuo couldn't help but groan- he didn't know how exactly, but he definitely seemed to have fucked up somehow after all.
And Izaya- … Izaya was outside.
Not too far actually.
Just across the street in an alley. His heart was pounding like crazy- the schoolbag dropped as he leant against the cool wall of another building.
He had been so happy- just thinking about all the kisses made his heart flutter in a way that made him wonder whether he was going to get a heart attack from this- but then that.
That dreaded question.
Sliding down the wall Izaya's eyes stung. His guts had churned in the worst way and the warmth he had felt had just turned so horribly cold within a matter of seconds.
He didn't want to push the blond off like that, didn't mean to hurt him, but he knew he did- just leaving like that without even a proper excuse or a goodbye.
Fuck.
Cringing the raven swallowed the lump that was starting to form inside his throat.
He was so stupid. Stupid to think this was going to work out.
