ஜ Chapter 13: Only each other ஜ
... stupid flea.
Acting all tough, when he wasn´t.
Over and over he kept glancing at the raven, just to make sure that he indeed was not dreaming or anything of that sort.
Damn, it sure was quiet when the flea was sleeping. A smile spread across his lips.
This time he really was just sleeping though.
Still feeling relieved he glanced at the man next to him. He had curled up on the seat - almost like a cat. His arms and legs were pulled to his chest- sure the space in the car was limited but he really sort of looked like a cat like that. His back was facing the front of the car so the stitched up wound on the right side of his chest wasn´t pressured or anything.
Shizuo had suggested that he could sleep in the back of the car. Just laying down and resting on his back sounded like it would be more comfortable.
But then again he was glad the flea refused to do that- he felt better when he could actually see the flea after all.
They had actually found one- a car that is. One that Izaya approved off. It sort of looked like the van Kadota used to drive with just with the one difference that the seat in the front row wasn´t interrupted but one single seat. The flea´s head was basically almost touching his thigh while driving.
Relaxing in the seat Shizuo slowed the car down a bit. The gas was already running out- but a gas station had been marked at one of those signs so he was kinda confident they would make it to one soon.
Letting his right hand trail off the steering wheel he pulled at the raven´s jacket. Seriously, despite everything that happened he couldn´t believe Izaya was still holding onto it. Before they got into the car Izaya insisted on putting it on, and returned Shizuo´s shirt.
Now he was using it as a blanket while sleeping- the partly ripped white shirt- which contained a few blood stains, was still clinging to his body as well.
He tugged at the coat, having shifted down, making it cover the flea´s shoulder again.
That stupid flea...
Even though he was trying to act all tough it was obvious that this monster had really hurt him, and only one, two or even twenty stitches couldn't fix that.
At first he actually thought Izaya was sort of alright again, just from what he did, because he got up in that tree and looked all that confident and not in pain.
But that obviously had just been a pretty good mask.
A mask that already started to crumble within a few minutes of walking though.
Shizuo offered to carry him on his back, and he did exactly that, only until they reached a parking lot though- Izaya said he should let him down and they would search for a car separately.
"Separately" as in, Shizuo was not leaving his eyes of the flea, while the raven was stalking around.
The way he walked just gave away how much he hurt though- his hands constantly shot up every few steps to reach for the wound as if to try and soothe the pain by placing his palm on it.
He would always retract it whenever he thought Shizuo saw though.
Breathing seemed to be a bit of a chore as well as Shizuo could hear him panting once he returned with a smile, stating that he found a car he liked.
This time he actually unlocked the van- not wanting to demolish the car that he wanted to keep.
Somehow Shizuo felt like scolding Izaya for trying to act tough, but then again he couldn´t really bring himself to tell Izaya that he was ... well... weak right now and hurt.
Finally the gas station came into sight.
With a soft sigh he noticed a few cars were already there- empty ones though. They were simply blocking the way. The doors were opened, but no one was there. They obviously had fled by running after getting out of the car and encountering a zombie.
Without any gas they had no choice he guessed.
Only when he had gotten out of the van and already moved some cars away he realized that he could have just taken the gas they needed from any other car they encountered on the streets- being left behind and all.
Really. And this was why Izaya was handling these kind of things. Walking back towards the van he saw that the flea was indeed still sleeping- hm, he was sort of amazing to be able to sleep while he was being this loud.
Opening the door, he gently reached for the raven´s shoulder shaking it softly.
"Waking time Izaya." At first the flea didn´t move, the blond shook him a tad harder till he caught a groan.
Yawning the raven brought a hand to his face, rubbing at his eyes he glanced at the blond, rather sleepy if Shizuo might add.
He almost chuckled at the way he was looking at him.
"Seems this gas station has been left behind. I thought it would be interesting to look for some food or something." To be completely honest he didn´t even remember when he last ate anything- the scenes he encountered so far always made him feel sick to his stomach so he didn´t particularly get hungry in the first place.
No answer was given though and for a second Shizuo thought the raven fell asleep again.
"Izaya?" Experimentally he nudged the raven´s shoulder once more-
"Huh?" Sleepy and obviously confused the raven´s head shot up again, looking like he only now noticed that Shizuo was actually talking to him. "Ah yeah. Looking for food sounds like a good idea," he mumbled, pushing himself up from the seat.
Shizuo, however, frowned the slightest bit. Somehow something seemed off.
"Izaya, are you okay?" The raven froze at that, glancing at the blond in front of him. He set up his usual grin as he slipped out of the car.
"Of course, Shizu-chan, everything is fine-"
Fine- it was not. The moment Izaya stood on his own two feet he realized how dizzy he was- or rather, his body made him realize as it swayed - not being able to regain his posture right away-
"Fine my ass-" a hand found its way to his shoulder, softly pushing him against the van to keep him upright while another slipped up to his forehead.
"Shit you are hot, flea-"
Ahh- Somehow he already knew he was feeling shitty, but now that he knew it was because of a fever he felt even worse.
"Woah Shizu-chan, are you trying to hit on me?" Izaya almost pouted when the blond didn´t even pay attention to his little word play.
"What do we do now? How do we get it down?" he questioned instead.
Sighing the raven brushed the hand off his forehead. Should he call it a fifth sense? Or maybe pure luck? Because this time it actually seemed he had been right about Shizu-chan´s reaction.
He had kept his mouth shut about feeling a tad worse than before because he could almost predict what he was going to react like-
Shizu-chan seemed like he was freaking out over this already, when nothing serious had happened.
"Ah, is Shizu-chan freaking out again? Zombies beware-" he tried to joke, to calm the blond a bit, but that didn´t seem to work as well as he thought it would-
"That´s not funny Izaya!" the blond almost barked at him, definitely not meaning to though-
"It will disappear, Shizu-chan," he continued, brushing Shizu-chan´s hand off his shoulder. As much as it was kinda nice of the brute to care that much it was equally annoying as well- "Please just calm down, you should be glad, maybe I´m having blood poisoning that will slowly kill me~"
While Izaya had intended that one as a joke, the blond perceived it entirely different.
Kill, huh? The blond´s eyes widened at the mere word-
No.
NO, no, no, no.
"Don´t say that!" Blinking the raven´s frown eased into a surprised expression. Shizu-chan... looked like he was really devastated over what he said-
That wasn´t what he wanted.
Frustrating the monster, yes, in a sense of making him angry, making him say something like, "Well then go ahead and die already you stupid flea," or something along those lines-
He didn´t expect this...
The blond´s expression had consorted into one that almost seemed like he was about to... noooo, no way.
"Oi..." he mumbled softly. Great now he felt bad for saying what he did. "I was just joking. I´m not gonna die that easily and I´m not having blood poisoning either, it´s probably just from over exertion or something you just cut me open after all."
But the blond didn´t seem to be assured by what he said at all...
"Yeah right as if-" One of Shizuo´s palm´s found its way to his hair, ruffling through it as he tried to believe what Izaya had said. He knew himself that he was probably exaggerating, but after all that happened, he just couldn´t make himself react differently.
The flea sighed, still leaning on the van.
"... I´m fine though, really. A little fever won´t ki- I mean, it´s nothing serious."
Tch-
"Then stop saying shit like that..." the blond mumbled, closing his eyes for a second.
Fuck.
He was tired, exhausted- and he was dead scared of losing Izaya. He didn´t even know why he was that hung up over the louse, but shit he was-
He couldn´t help but think that maybe he did something wrong when he sewed him shut, that maybe his wound got infected or something despite him throwing alcohol over the damn thing countless times.
What if he did? What if it wasn´t as harmless as the flea had said?
"Shizu-chan-" the sudden alarmed tone carried by Izaya's voice made the blond snap out of his thoughts, opening his eyes again immediately. Izaya wasn´t looking at him anymore.
Following his gaze he glanced to the front of the car.
That was-
"Ah, Orihara-san."
The raven swallowed-
He had... he had really seen a lot of things... but this-
Namie´s little brother...
He was walking right towards them- with a wide smile on his face.
It was astonishing how crude he could be.
"Seiji..." Only from the corner of his eyes he caught Shizu-chan turning away from him and hunching over- only to throw up whatever his stomach still contained-
Once, twice he convulsed- Seiji was still standing there, just smiling widely at them.
More worried about Shizu-chan than the man in front of them Izaya turned to him, softly placing his hand on the man´s back. He was still hunched over and heaving.
"Oi- you okay?" he mumbled quietly, not leaving his eyes of the psychopath in front of them.
A sort of quick nod was given as the raven placed his hand on Shizuo´s neck, softly kneading through the blond hair tips in an attempt to make the blond´s nausea go away-
"And there I thought I was the last one left." Wary Izaya snapped his attention back to the man- he knew he was sick, crazy, he had known so all along ever since he found out that he loved Celty´s head- who could love only a head?
But to go to this extreme-
He didn´t even need the man to tell him what he had done.
It was obvious-
Because...
There was a head in his arm.
It certainly looked like Celty´s yeah- except it was not. Feeling his own stomach do a back flip he inhaled deeply, trying to maintain his posture.
Blood vessels, flesh, part of the lung and the spine where still dangling from the neck of that girls head- the eyes were open, but glassy, and her head had obviously been smashed in as there were clearly some parts missing-
Apart from the fact that his body was covered in blood there was something way more unsettling on Seiji´s neck- his arms- everywhere to be honest...
"You have been bitten-" Shizuo snapped his eyes open upon hearing these words.
Trying to avoid even glancing at that ... head... he focused on the man himself.
It was true- there were bite marks almost everywhere-
"Ah, yeah she bit me a few times when I tried to saw her head off," the man informed, sighing as if he didn't even care about that in the slightest- "it took so much work, the spine just didn´t break right away."
Turning away the blond pressed his forehead against the van´s cool surface. Shit he was feeling so damn nauseous- he wanted to throw up but nothing was there anyway- "but then I stomped on her neck and twisted it till it came out, so now she is mine-" slapping a hand in front of his mouth the blond tried to ignore what the man was saying.
The description was way too vivid in his mind. "Please make him stop-" he found himself mumbling when those fingertips caressed his neck again.
"We will be together forever, you know Orihara-san?"
God, someone please make him shut up-
"... I should kill him," it was barely a whisper, but he definitely caught those words coming from the raven´s lips.
"What?" he glanced at Izaya, for a second thinking he was joking, but his expression was too serious for that.
"He has been bitten... I understand that you don´t want that, and I would even understand if you wanted to take him with us till you now... but you know... he will turn either way- and I´m pretty sure even the last bit of sanity he had is gone by now..." More words from the man reached his ears, he was obviously coming closer- ignoring them with all his might he stared at the ground below him.
Shizuo never thought he was going to say these words.
"... you are right." The flea was right.
He really was. "I will do it."
No matter what they did- he was going to turn into one of those- and he sure as hell didn´t look sane anymore.
Straightening himself he swallowed trying to chase away the bile taste in his throat.
He took a step forward, the fingertips leaving his neck, his stomach already doing a back flip again as he just glanced at that... that... head-
All of a sudden his mouth felt really dry-
He had to kill him- a human. He was crazy- he had been bitten- and he would attack and bite and eat others-
Even if he was insane he wouldn´t want that.
Just like Kasuka wouldn´t have wanted that-
He had-
He had to-
What even? Punch him in his stomach? NO- he had to kill him-
He would punch off his head- like he did with the zombies-
Just.. like that-
His stomach churned-
He could do it- he could-
"Nene, Shizu-chan-" startled the blond turned his head- upon hearing the flea call his name- only to have a knife fly right past him almost cutting his cheek-
His eyes going wide he stood there confused- for a second thinking the flea had thrown it at him-
But then he heard it.
*THUD*
Slow.
Really slow he turned to look at the crazy man again.
But the crazy man wasn´t staring at them anymore.
He was dead.
His body was laying on the ground. Limp. A knife was stuck in his right eye-
Turning back to look at the raven he merely met a smiling flea.
"Sorry, the knife kinda slipped from my hands."
...
This time, it didn´t even take a second for Shizuo to realize what the flea just did, and why he did it.
He did that for him.
Izaya killed him, Shizuo didn´t. He called his name- Shizuo didn´t even see it.
Feeling the constricting feeling vanish from his throat he brushed through his hair, inhaling deeply.
He was... sort of relieved.
But... he frowned.
It wasn´t right he made Izaya do this for him.
"You didn´t have to..." he mumbled quietly. "I would have pulled it of somehow." Did he think he had to do this because he threw up? Because he couldn´t even look at the guy?
Was he too weak?
The raven only nodded though.
"... true. But you know, somehow Shizu-chan doesn´t strike me as a killer." The words were mumbled softly considering what happened just now.
The blond´s frown disappeared as he walked up to the flea again.
He wasn´t-
That flea...
"Sure you are definitely strong enough to punch out his lights or kill him in any other beastly way-" Izaya continued, still partly leaning onto that van, as the man approached him.
"But you know, I like you better when you just stay the way you are. Puking your guts out and all."
He got it.
That stupid flea... doing something like this.
Standing right in front of the raven the flea was just grinning, setting up his usual carefree smile.
A smile that Shizuo definitely wouldn´t be able to muster if he had just killed a person... if he could even muster one anymore after that.
The raven yelped surprised when a pair of arms wrapped around his body, efficiently trapping him in an unexpected hug.
Izaya blinked, feeling the blond nuzzle into his shoulder- he was about to ask what he was doing when-
"Thank you." - those two words left the blond´s lips.
... Izaya´s eyes softened again, and despite how wrong and odd this was, he wrapped his arms around the blond as well, drawing soothing patterns on the man´s back.
Shizu-chan really didn´t want to kill that man, he knew that. Shizu-chan understood the reasons he had to die for, sure. He even volunteered, feeling like he had to do something-
It all made sense and yet-
"It´s fine, just forget that this ever happened okay?" Izaya was alright with this, he had killed countless of these creatures, and for him Seiji was no different.
He couldn´t let Shizu-chan do this.
Shizu-chan saw Seiji as a human.
Because Shizu-chan was Shizu-chan.
And Shizu-chan wasn´t a monster.
