ஜ Chapter 10: Trembling hands ஜ
-Izaya´s point of view-
Slowly, his whole mind now in fight or flight mode, he took a step back, glancing over his shoulder, scanning the room.
There was nothing, but something told him that they should get out of here.
Immediately-
Blood was rushing in his veins, anxiety thrumming through him as he ran back to the shower.
That stupid brute- he couldn´t believe he could just fall asleep in a place like this-
And now... what had even happened back there?! Those creatures, they were torn apart-
The door was ripped open, and in the short timespan he had had to grasp the situation, he realized a tremendously unsettling fact. The way the door had been torn apart, the way the metal had been bent outwards, there was no mistake-
That door had been bust open from inside out.
"Oi, brute!" he already called from afar, this time not minding if he was loud or not- his eyes were darting around anyway, and if whatever broke that door open met him, then he wouldn´t bet his luck on the fact that it wouldn´t be able to see him if he were silent-
Because if that thing burst through a metal door from inside, then it definitely wouldn´t go down from a single knife to the head-
One glance right-
He was running.
Left-
Nothing was there yet.
It was quiet, dark; shivers were running down his spine as he finally reached the shower after what felt like an eternity.
"Get up, protozoan, something isn´t right here." The blond snapped out of his sleep, almost jumping in his own skin when the raven barked at him.
It took a second for him to understand that the raven was not just teasing him. The expression he wore was way too serious to be a joke-
"What?" He pushed himself off the ground, letting his own head snap around to look at his surroundings. He couldn´t believe it- he fell asleep didn´t he? What the fuck-
What was he even thinking?!
"Something broke the storeroom´s door from inside and tore up all the creatures-" Izaya spoke so quickly he almost bit his tongue as he glanced behind him in the corridor.
It was still dark there, just as before-
But then he noticed it and time seemed to freeze-
The door next to him.
Opened just barely.
Looking at him from there.
Hiding, lurking- waiting-
Eyes in rotting flesh.
He didn´t even have time to react when the door burst open- that ... thing- creature- he had no name for it- he wasn´t even able to flinch before he felt the pressure on his chest.
His eyes flew open in pain as he was pushed inside the room, against the opposing wall-
*CRACK*
A gasp escaped his lips.
His ribs-
The tiles behind him-
The rotten eyes were staring at him, but looking, stronger than any of those he had met so far. The flesh had already rotted off the body, leaving the image of a man that looked like he was supposed to be long dead-
What the hell was that?!
Air-
Izaya gasped his mouth open to breathe but he was choking; the thing was opening its mouth- wide- wider than any, revealing those death-bringing, infecting teeth- he squeezed his eye shut- he didn´t want to see this-
And then there was a slam, a crack, the sound of something shattering and the pressure lifted- making room for an intense wave of pain.
A mop of blond hair invaded his sight as he saw the head of that creature roll on the floor-
It was busted right of that thing´s neck, a dent in its cheek that resembled a fist.
Shizuo heaved, the adrenaline still pumping through his veins like crazy. What the hell was that?!
It was definitely not one of those regular zombies! It could see! It was strong as hell- and fast- he saw the flea getting pushed inside so fast and then when he was about to bite Izaya- fuck-
He turned to the flea, not even a second having passed as the shock settled in his system-
Izaya was sliding down the wall-
It all happened in a second. Izaya´s face consorted in pain and he squeezed his eyes shut, slowly sliding down the broken wall, his legs giving way beneath him.
Shizuo reached out his arms, grabbing the raven by his shoulders, but he just slumped down and Shizuo followed, dropping to his knees as he tried to keep the raven upright.
"Izaya-!"
His chest heaved heavily up and down. Panicking, Shizuo searched, searched for bite marks, searched for an injury but... There was none!
"Heh... come to think of it, Namie was right, wasn´t she? With my shitty karma, I would be next after Kururi was what she said haha-" And then there was blood.
Coughing- it was trickling down the corner of the raven´s mouth.
In horror, Shizuo watched the scene in front of him unfold-
"Shut up, Izaya- where did it hurt you?!" His arms tightened unintentionally around the raven´s shoulders- they were shaking.
He didn´t know what to do- and that idiot just had to grin!
He didn´t know what to do- and that idiot just had to grin!
"You said I should shut up-" Shizuo almost felt something snap at that remark. He understood.
He understood completely.
"IZAYA!" But he didn´t want to see it. He didn´t want to acknowledge that Izaya wasn´t doing anything because it might be too late already- because there just was something so wrong it couldn´t be fixed.
And then it came.
"It's useless, Shizuo." He was panting, obviously strained to say anything at all as his brows furrowed deeper with every sound he made.
"It cracked ... my ribs..." Another cough followed, more blood tricking from his mouth.
Shizuo felt cold, heard his blood rush through his veins as he desperately tried to figure out what to do- just what-
What?!
His thoughts were running crazy at the attempt of thinking this away, of trying to find a hint that would make him realize this was just a bad dream.
This couldn´t happen- No way.
Not now.
Not at all!
The flea´s lips curled into a sort of smirk, he looked like he had already fucking accepted it- Accepted what?!
"I am one lucky bastard. One of those ribs must have pierced my lung, if not even more. I can barely even breathe." It was true.
He was barely breathing.
He coughed violently, more and more blood dropping out of the corner of his mouth. His eyes were falling closed; it was only then that Shizuo unfroze from his shocked state.
"Oi- stay awake! Izaya-! Talk to me!"
"Haha, what a request... here I'm shutting up for once, and you want me... to talk..." His eyes were drooping more and more, fluttering shut only to open slowly again- "Has been nice with you."
Trembling.
"Fuck- can´t we do anything?!" Anything! Anything at all, he would do it! He was dead set on doing it whatever it was!
This couldn´t be happening!
The raven frowned, his eyes squeezing shut for a second and Shizuo couldn´t determine whether it was from pain or annoyance over his question.
"Don't be ridiculous. You would need to operate on me." The words were hissed, barely audible anymore- and Shizuo knew he was probably joking, but he didn´t give a fuck right now.
"Alright, how?!"
Operating. He would do it.
He had no fucking clue how.
But he would do it.
One eye cracked open, eyeing the blond as if to make sure had heard correctly.
"You are kidding, right?" But the eyes he met were not joking. If anything, they looked panicked. Panicked, but serious.
"No, so tell me what to do!" Izaya could still feel the brute´s hands on his shoulder, keeping him upright. He had noticed already how bad they were shaking.
What was it that made Shizu-chan act that way? The thought of seeing someone die? The thought of being left alone? Why was he so desperate?
The hands were still trembling.
"Seriously, Shizuo, if you cut me open, I´m gonna die anyway." It wasn´t even about Shizu-chan being too stupid to pull it off.
There even were proper tools in the operation room for something like this, but from what he saw that blond wasn´t even in any condition to fix a normal random injury not to speak of an operation.
Trembling like this, freaking out, panicking- he wasn´t even going to start about how he was even going to make a clean cut.
"Izaya, I said-"
"Here-" and then Izaya pointed to his chest.
Whatever.
The chance of surviving like this was pretty slim.
And if he messed up... then it would be Shizu-chan who killed him and not one of these things- that option didn't sound too bad. He would make him the monster he was.
Too bad no one would be there to witness it.
His breathing was getting shallower, dizziness was assaulting him.
Again he pointed to the place it hurt the most.
"Right here, you would have to make a small cut. Use the tools in the operation room. Hypothetically. Keep it small. Pull the broken rib out or move it away or whatever." The blond could do nothing than to sit there and take in the information he was being given.
Memorize it.
Make a cut, he said.
Pull the broken thing out, he said.
The tools, right, there was an operation room- Even in this kind of situation, Izaya could think about these kind of things.
"Sew up the part of the lung that´s .. dam..aged..."
Silence.
Shizuo´s eyes widened.
"Izaya?!"
But the raven kept silent.
Silent.
"Oi, Izaya!" His eyes were closed- he couldn´t be dead right?!
No, no way-
But there was movement.
Slow, barely visible, but it was there, the rising and falling of Izaya´s chest.
He had passed out.
Fuck-
As if on autopilot, he heaved the informant off the floor. Even if you had asked him, he couldn´t have been able to remember if he even remembered to be gentle with him.
Hands just scooped the flea into his arms- the flea was way lighter than what he imagined him to be.
Scrawny, the coat was loosely hanging down just like his arm-
The tools he had to get those tools first-
And so he ran.
The room was reached so fast- he didn´t even pause to look for any zombies- but even if there had been one, he doubted he would have even paid any attention to it.
Without losing any precious time, he placed the raven on the operation desk.
His eyes were still squeezed shut- in pain- not moving-
"Fuck. Don´t die, Izaya, you hear me?" A scalpel, a needle, even a thread was found within seconds.
"Izaya, don't die." The mantra continued.
He knew Izaya couldn´t hear him- he knew it pretty well, he wasn´t stupid. He had passed out, whether it was just from pain or because he was about to-
No. No he wasn´t going to think about this now-
The tools were slammed on a small desk next to the table. Without a second thought, he shoved the shirt up to the raven´s chin.
There was a huge bruise on his chest- probably from the vessels that had broken during the impact and a lot of them considering how dark it was already- he had had enough injuries to know how mad bruises could look.
Izaya had been coughing up blood- there had to be something very wrong- and yet- when he brought that blade onto the raven´s skin he couldn´t avoid seeing how bad his hands were shaking.
He seemed to freeze-
He knew he had to act fast, but he couldn´t move-
If he didn´t do this correctly, Izaya was going to die. He was going to die.
And it would be his fault.
His fault for falling asleep, his fault for not being next to that flea when that thing appeared. He had been determined to protect the flea.
To make sure nothing happened to him, to make sure he didn´t die, but what now?!
A hand found its way into his hair as he took a step back, the blade leaving the raven´s pale skin again.
He had to calm the fuck down and do this like Izaya told him to, and yet he was practically frozen. The blade was in his hand but how was he supposed to cut into Izaya?!
How?!
His glance trailed down to the silver only to freeze yet again-
His hand- it was still bloody, soiled, from that creature´s head-
His eyes widened and for a second he felt nauseous. If he had cut right now and not freaked out, he would have infected Izaya with this shit.
Dropping the blade he looked at the unconscious raven.
"How am I supposed to do this?" it was just a quiet whisper that left his lips in this very quiet room.
He couldn´t do this.
But then Izaya would die.
Izaya probably expected to die. Shizuo didn´t think he actually considered that he would succeed. He knew that much.
He already figured that Izaya would probably be okay with that. That he already accepted that he was gonna die-
How? How could he do that sort of thing?!
And then it came to Shizuo.
What would Izaya say if he saw him right now?
If he were here?
What would he say?
What are you freaking out for?
Yeah, maybe that.
Please Shizu-chan, I knew you were stupid but to that degree? Calm down already. You are not working magic here.
Now that sounded like him.
Yeah, he would say that.
He would tell him to calm down, he would treat it like it was no big deal despite gravity of the situation.
Swallowing once more, he stepped over to one of the cupboards.
He hoped to find a pair of gloves, but something else fell into his hands.
Alcohol. The pure kind, of course.
He could use this-
He had to calm down.
Calm down.
Izaya told him what to do- and if he didn´t do anything at all, then he would die anyway, wouldn´t he?
Did he want that? No.
No, he didn´t want that.
The burning liquid was poured over his hands as Shizuo washed himself off as well as he could.
Calm down.
He would calm down. The shivering ceased as the remains of that zombie´s head washed away.
He would pull this off somehow. He turned around; the bottle with alcohol was placed on the small desk, his eyes searching for the cupboard he had found the blade in. He would use a new one, of course.
Cool silver touched the pale skin once more.
"Don´t die on me, Izaya, okay?"
