Summary: Izaya has been having headaches lately and when more symptoms appear he decides to go to the hospital. There he gets to hear that he has brain cancer.

Two weeks had gone by and Izaya had made a bit of progress with the physiotherapy, but it was still going too slow for him. Izaya knew it would take time before he would be able to walk again, but he wanted it to be as soon as possible.

Izaya was able to move his toes on his own now and his feet slowly, but he knew that movement wasn't the only thing he needed for walking. He would need to get the strength back too and that might take a long time.

He hadn't visited Haru yet, since he would need to ask someone for help to bring him there, since getting into the wheelchair himself was still tricky and he didn't want to risk falling on his way there and not being able to get into the wheelchair again. He knew he could always ask Shizuo, but he had made sure that the blonde would go to work after every physiotherapy session.

The door opened and Izaya looked to see Shizuo walking in. He couldn't help but smile when he saw the blonde. It really was lonely when the blonde wasn't there. He still didn't understand how they had ended up like this, since they had been enemies before, but he honestly didn't know what they were right now.

"Shizu-chan!" He said a bit happy and the blonde smiled at him.

"Seems like you're in a good mood." The blonde said and then walked over to the raven. "Those glasses look good on you." Oh right, he had forgotten that they had brought him his glasses yesterday.

"They arrived yesterday after you left." Izaya said before taking them off and handing them to the blonde to look at. "Don't break them." But he knew he wouldn't need to worry with the blonde right now.

"They really suit you." Shizuo said before placing the glasses back on the raven's face.

"I'm still getting used to them. You would think that you can just use them, but you need time to adjust." Izaya said.

"I got a free day today." The blonde started. "Do you want to do something today? I can take you somewhere with the wheelchair if you would like." This was his opportunity to see Haru.

"Let's go see Haru-kun after the physiotherapist." Izaya said and the blonde nodded as confirmation.

The door opened and the both of them looked up to see the physiotherapist walking in. "I see that Heiwajima-san is here again, Orihara-san?" The woman had once again a business smile on her face.

"There is no problem with that right?" Izaya asked while narrowing his eyes.

"Just that he's acting like a boyfriend." She really never shut up about that, now did she? He didn't know what his current relationship with the blonde was, but he knew at least that they hadn't declared yet that they were boyfriends or something like that.

"We aren't in that kind of relationship." Izaya turned his head to look at Shizuo when he said that. He couldn't help but feel a small pain in his heart. Did the blonde really have to deny it that much?

"Ah right, shall we get started, then I will leave you alone." The woman tried to get the mood back, but it was clear that she was failing.

"Fine, let's get this over with." Izaya said curtly.

The woman nodded and then took the blankets away. "Today I want to start with the movement of your knees too, since you're already able to move your feet a bit on your own." Finally she was getting a step ahead, they had only been focussing on his feet for the last two weeks and he had already been wondering when they were moving to the next step.

"Finally." Was all he said then and Shizuo couldn't help but smile at the raven's reaction.

"Alright, let's first start with you moving your toes and feet and then we will move to your knees." The woman said and so they started.

Izaya felt a bit tired after the physiotherapist left, but he had planned to go see Haru, so there was no way he was going to fall asleep now. "Shizu-chan, let's go and see Haru, he must have missed me over the past two weeks." The raven said, which made Shizuo look at him.

"Do you really think the kid missed you?" Shizuo smiled when he said that.

"There's only one way to find out right?" Izaya said and stretched his arms towards Shizuo. "Help me into the wheelchair." Had it been his old self, he would have never asked the blonde for help, but he knew that there would be no other way, but to ask for help.

"Do you want your jacket first? And I will get a blanket for your legs, it's still cold." Shizuo said and gave the jacket into the outstretched arms. Izaya pouted a bit.

"I wanted you to carry me, but I guess I can first put on my jacket." Izaya said and then put on his jacket. It was his trademark jacket, so he knew that people might be able to recognize him more easily, but that didn't matter to him anymore. He was recovering and soon enough he would be walking and running around again. At least that was what he was planning.

Shizuo had grabbed a blanket and when Izaya stretched his arms out once more he got picked up by the blonde and put on the wheelchair, before a blanket was draped over his legs. "Shizu-chan, do you still remember which room?" He had sent Shizuo there once, but that didn't mean that the blonde had remembered it.

"Room 305 right?" Shizuo mumbled and started pushing the raven out the door.

"That's right, you go to the elevator and up one floor and then we go to the room." Izaya confirmed and pointed to where the elevator was. He suspected that the blonde had taken the stairs the last time, but there was no way they could use it this time, so they would need to take the elevator.

Shizuo started pushing him towards the elevator, while Izaya looked around at the people who were looking at them. He saw some surprised faces, which were probably the people who had recognized him, since it wasn't that hard to recognize Shizuo, but for him it was different now. The jacket helped a bit, but he was wearing glasses now and his hair was gone, but he covered it up with a hat. His hair would start growing back now, since the radiotherapy was done, but it would take time and he wasn't going to go around in public without wearing the hat as long as he didn't have any hair.

Izaya got taken out of his thoughts by the sound of the elevator door opening and got pushed inside by Shizuo and turned around, so that he would be facing the door.

"Did you see them staring at us, Shizu-chan?" Izaya asked while looking to his side where the blonde was standing.

"I did, they probably never thought to see us together in a hospital." Shizuo said and smiled at the raven.

"We might give them the scare of their lives." Izaya couldn't help but smirk at that idea. "That might not be such a bad idea."

"Don't do that Izaya, just leave them alone." Even though Shizuo said that he couldn't help but smile.

"Fine, but then you need to entertain me." Izaya said and he saw Shizuo open his mouth to complain, but the door of the elevator opened, indicating that they had arrived on the right floor. "Let's get to Haru." Izaya said and Shizuo grabbed the handles, before pushing him out of the elevator. Izaya was still surprised about how careful the blonde could be with his strength, but Shizuo had showed him that he could indeed control it.

It didn't take long before they were at the door to the room and Shizuo knocked on the door. "Come in." Was all that was heard and then Shizuo slid open the door before wheeling Izaya inside.

"Haru-kun, I've come to see you." Izaya said and saw the boy look at him while Shizuo pushed him inside.

"Izaya-san, I was already wondering when you would come to visit me." The boy said and Izaya frowned a bit at that.

"I thought that you would come to visit me first, since I first had to ask someone to help me here." Izaya said while pointing at Shizuo.

"Ah Shizuo-san, thank you for bringing Izaya-san here." Haru said with a small smile, while Shizuo sat down in the chair, while Izaya kept sitting in the wheelchair.

"How did your surgery go?" Izaya asked the boy.

"I could ask you the same, but no complications here and if everything is going alright I will be able to leave here soon and I will be able to start high school after spring break." Izaya was glad for the boy.

"That's great, have you been doing any work yet? And do you have questions." Izaya was trying to avoid the subject of how he was doing after the surgery, since he would need to stay here for quite some time, since he wasn't even able to walk yet.

"I have been doing it since about a week, but I have only one question." The boy said and grabbed the book before handing it to Izaya. "Can you help me with this?" Haru said and then pointed to something. Izaya pushed his glasses up his nose for a bit before reading through it and then explaining it to Haru.

"Ah, that's pretty easy to understand." Haru said and then took the book back with a smile. "Those glasses look good on you." Izaya looked surprised that the boy would mention them.

"My sight has gotten worse after the surgery, so I need them now to be able to see things close to me." Izaya said, but didn't smile.

"I'm going to apply to Raira academy." Haru suddenly said and Izaya looked to Shizuo for a moment.

"We went there too and my younger sisters will be attending there too starting this spring." Wait, that meant that they would be in the same year, he had never thought about that. "If you want to meet someone your age I can call them, but I honestly wouldn't recommend them." Izaya said and saw Shizuo shake his head beside him.

"They are definitely not the most normal girls." He agreed.

"Are they really that bad? I'm able to be around you Izaya-san." That might be true, but it might be better if he just found out for himself.

"Do you want to meet them?" Izaya asked as a confirmation and the boy nodded. "Fine, but then they need to find out why I'm in the hospital." Izaya mumbled to himself.

Shizuo clearly heard him, because the blonde grabbed his hand in his own. "It will be fine. Just give them a call, they probably won't even be able to come today and I can take a day off for when they come." Shizuo said and Izaya nodded slowly, grabbing his phone from the pocket of his jacket and calling Mairu.

"Iza-nii? What rare for you to call." He almost immediately heard the voice of his younger sister.

"It's not for me, there's someone I want you to meet." Izaya started and there fell a small silence on the other end.

"It's not Yuhei, is it?" He should have known.

"No, it isn't. Someone in the hospital who is going to attend high school with you guys after spring, but he has been in the hospital for a long time, so he doesn't really know anyone his age." Izaya explained and waited for the answer.

"Fine, we have time tomorrow, is that fine?" Izaya felt relief flooding him, he really didn't want to try and explain more to her.

"That's fine, it's the hospital in Ikebukuro and room 305." Seemed like she wasn't going to ask what he was doing there.

"We will be there, but Iza-nii?"

"Hm?"

"What are you doing in a hospital?"

"Just visiting?" Izaya began to dread the next thing the girl would say.

"You never go to the hospital to pay a visit, so what's up?" Great, she really knew him too well.

"We will talk about this tomorrow, alright?"

"Fine, but don't think you will be able to escape this."

"I know, bye." Was all Izaya said before hanging up. "Seems like they know something is up with me." Izaya sighed and then looked at Haru.

"Is this because of me?" Izaya shook his head.

"No, this is not because of you. They will be coming tomorrow, so I hope you're ready to meet them." Izaya said with a smile, trying to hide how he really felt.

They talked a bit more, before Izaya felt too tired and that's when Shizuo brought him back to his room. Izaya hoped that everything would be going fine tomorrow, but he honestly doubted it.
