One week past and Izaya didn't wake up.
Another week past and he remained asleep, his wounds had cleared up but the one on his back was still huge where the wheel had taken off most of the skin.
Another and still nothing, though they did notice that Izaya would wake up to be sick then fall asleep again for the next day. He would get up but he fell back asleep and no one had ever seen him up. He'd leave small messages on a piece of paper, crumpled in his hand. To Shizuo it
reminded him of Hermoine when she was paralysed and Harry found her research in her hand.
Shizuo tend to remain by his side and was given a lounge chair so he could sleep beside him. Shizuo and the nurses would find Izaya on Shizuo's lap, snuggled into his chest. He was always put back into bed and the next day a message would appear like 'Why did you shift me? I was comfy' or it would be, 'Go out. Don't watch me sleep xP' Shizuo had started to leave him games of knots and crosses and it would take a few days to complete.
He then leave a massage after like 'I win. You owe me a kiss,' And Shizuo would happily oblige then leave a photo of them with their lips pressed. Once Izaya did leave a photo of giving Shizuo a kiss. His eyes were half opened and he looked very pale and ill.
It was the 25th of January and Shizuo had been at the hospital all day but had left to go to the party. He was sitting with Kadota, Shinra, Celty and Sabaru in Raira's hall filled with people from the class of 09. The room had a stage at the front where a DJ was playing new english tunes. Tables and chairs were filled around the edges to allow them to sit around and chat and a large buffet filling four tables was farthest away from the stage. People were dancing, very badly to the music and chatting while mildly drunk. It was a work night so most would be hung over the next morning.
Shizuo was soon joined by Rei who sat on his lap and cuddled into his chest, her arms going around his neck, while her hands combed his soft blonde dyed hair. Hiroshi wasn't happy that his wife was with her ex and was snuggling into his chest and had gotten extremely close to the brute male. He was worried that he would hurt her. He could snap her back in any second and he wanted her to be as far away from the blonde as possible.
"Babe. Leave the losers side and come join me and my mates," Rei shook her head. Shizuo was fairly offended to be called a 'loser' but was able to control his anger though he did snarl lightly.
"No. I want to talk to Shizuo. You realise he dies and I'm marrying Shizuo right?" She grinned kissing the blondes cheek. Hiroshi had heard that Izaya had been in an accident and that if he died she was marrying Shizuo but he wasn't to bothered. Hiroshi was very unhappy that the word divorce was already being mentioned. Today would be a month since they had been married and divorce was already being used. He didn't understand why if Izaya die, she'd get with Shizuo. Why him? Why would she go with Shizou?
Rei watched as one of the teachers walked up to her, "Let's do this. It's time," Rei stood up and made her way to the stage and stood beside the head teacher. Everyone went silent and stood up to watch the dance that would place.
"Now I'll draw the names for the reunion slow dance. No fighting if it's the same gender. This is the fun of it," Rei announced through a microphone. She put her hand into the hat but watched as a teacher came in putting another name into the hat. She swirled her hand around then pulled out a name and un-folded it.
"Shizuo Heiwajima" she called. The blonde grunted but walked into the centre all the same. That's what he needed some random person to dance with while he worried about his boyfriends health. Rei grinned at her blonde friend then pulled out the last name and gasped when she saw who it was, 'Izaya Orihara' she took a deep breath. She looked round the room and saw him walking through the door, limping gently. He looked very ill.
"Shizuo. Close your eyes," She demanded. Shizuo shut them not bothering to ask and Rei rushed over to Izaya and smiled, "There's a dance with two names. Yours was pulled out. Come on," Izaya limped over to Shizuo and took his hand gently despite the glares.
"Open your eyes," Rei smiled. Shizuo slowly opened his eyes and saw Izaya standing in front of him. He blinked once, twice, a thrice. He was still there. Shizuo didn't feel like pretending to loathe him when all he wanted was to hold him close and kiss him over.
He looked very unkept. He was wearing joggers and a lose white top with a baggy hoodie. He still had bandages around his arm and head. Shizuo slowly watched as he put that frail hand on his waist and stepped closer, "Shizu-chan. Imma no feeling great. No 'ttacking me," Shizuo grunted a yes and the music began. He frowned as he was not speaking properly.
"Hey...Imma a bit high," Izaya stopped as he stumbled forward, "Can I rest my head against you, Imma really dizzy," Shizuo nodded and watched as Izaya rested his head on his chest. Shizuo moved his hands around his waist but heard him whimper when he grazed his back.
Shizuo retracted his hand, "My back is soooooo~ sore. No touchie. Touch lower down or on ma shoulder," Shizuo nodded and put his hands on his shoulders and they gently swayed around the room to the song.
'I was your starlight. So don't cry for your love, Cry tears of joy. 'Cause you're alive,' Shizuo smiled to Izaya who grinned back and nuzzled his head softly. "I'm glad you are alive. I'm so happy,"
"I know...I can hear your heart beat,"
'-Cradled in love. Don't cry for your love, Cry tears of joy. Cause you're alive cradled in love,' the two rocked side to side holding each other close. Izaya holding Shizuo's hips as he couldn't hold his arms any higher than that.
When the dance ended, Rei was standing at the side clapping with tears in her eyes. Izaya pushed himself of Shizuo and made his way over to her and she cried heavily into his chest. He gave her a gentle kiss on the lips then on her forehead, "Why did you have to be a nice guy. The kid should have died," Izaya shook his head. He kissed her lips again and again and again. Rei pushed him back and sighed, "You're high,"
"Yup. I'm dosed up on something so I won't feel any pain...though I'm so sore," Rei laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck and holding him close as he wrapped her hands around her back and gently ran circles in her back. He soon felt a few arms grabbing him and being thrown back so that his wound on his back open, the pain becoming too much for him to take he screamed in agony, trying to roll onto his side.
Hiroshi kicked him in the rib with a few of his friends, "That's my fucking wife you FUCKING PERV!" Shizuo grabbed Hiroshi pulling him back from Izaya and punching him in the jaw. Rei took out switch blades from her panties and cut the other four men in the chest and then kicking them to the floor. She dropped to her knee and helped her cousin up and she kissed his lips again softly as tears were swelling up at the pain. She wiped away his tears then helped him to his feet.
"You know how I feel for Izaya. I'm sorry if you are uncomfortable with it but he means the world to me," she was in tears that her husband had attacked him. She saw that his baggy top was getting drenched in red.
"You never told me that he was your flaming cousin. He's an ass," Rei glared at her husband before slapping him in the face.
"AN ASS WOULDN'T GIVE UP HIS OWN LIFE TO PROTECT A RANDOM CHILD!" She screamed. Izaya looked down then walked over to Shinra and gave him a hug. He felt Shinra go limp in his arms.
"You're Rei's cousin?" He asked looking to his sore friend. Izaya nodded. "Does she have any other cousins?" Izaya shook his head and was seated down while Shinra took his top off and tutted at the blood rushing down his back. A few girls ran in disgust at the sight of his bloody back.
"No. Just me and the twins," Shinra grinned at that and began to clean the wound up ever so gently.
"I'm glad you are awake. I've missed you," Izaya smiled but hissed at the painful sensation. He felt bandages wrap around his torso and felt his whole body under a compressor.
'What do you say do when you can't come down and you feel like your ten feet of the ground?' Izaya was listening to the song that the DJ was playing, 'What do you do when you're on edge and your here and you've got me thinking about parachutes and airplanes. Parachutes and airplanes. Thinking about parachutes and airplanes. You'll never hit the ground, ground ground ground.' Izaya looked to his right and saw the plane coming towards him from out the window. He shut his eyes and brought his covered his head. Rei rushed over to Izaya as he was shaking violently from fear, "It's okay. It's gone. Baby it's gone. It's gone. The plane is gone," Izaya slowly raised his head and took a deep breath. Everyone was staring at him funnily.
"Hiroshi...I'll be sleeping at my aunts. If you are ever in a plane crash...I hope you fucking die," she helped him into his t-shirt and his jacket and led him out of the party. Izaya motioned for Shizuo to come subtly and the male grabbed his coat before running after. Shizuo held Izaya's hand closely as they got in Rei's car and made their way for Izaya's home in Shibuya.
The two helped the tired Izaya out the car and led him home. Shizuo knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. He could here grumbles on the other side of the door as they tried to unlock the door.
He watched as Kururi opened the door. When she saw her brother she screamed and pulled him in for a hug. Izaya's mother came rushing out when she heard her daughter scream. When she saw her son standing there she smiled and held the door open to invite him in. Izaya took Shizuo's hand and led him into the living room. Miaru was waiting for her sister and mother to return and watched as Rei walked in.
"Hey Rei why'd you knock?" She asked. Rei smiled then felt Izaya walk behind her and walk over to Miaru. The girl began to cry in her brothers arms in happiness. They never visited him as it hurt them too much to do so.
"Let me take a seat. Shizuo sit down," Izaya took a seat on a recliner and invited Shizuo to lie beside him on it. The two cuddled on the seat relaxing into each other. The twins were staring at the male then realised who it was and what relationship they had.
"Is he the person you are seeing?" Izaya nodded and used all his strength to allow himself to pick his body up and allow Shizuo to slide further in the chair. He then lay back down cuddling into Shizuo's neck while his hand cupped his cheek and stroked his skin softly.
"Izaya dear?" Hanako came in to see Izaya cuddling in with the male. "You must be his boyfriend. It's nice to finally meet you. I'm Hanako Orihara, Izaya's mother," She stretched her hand out. Shizuo reached for the out stretched hand and took it firmly shaking it.
"Shizuo Heiwajima. It's nice to meet you," Shizuo smiled to the woman before looking to Izaya who was focusing on his face and had his fingers gently tracing his lips.
"Kiss me," Izaya begged. Shizuo leaned in and pressed his lips to Izaya's then leaned back in the chair. "We haven't kissed in ages and that's all I'm getting," Shizuo laughed nodding his head.
"We kissed the other day and besides your family is here," Izaya closed his eyes but was still fully awake.
"Izaya...how was your work?" Hanako asked. She was interested in her sons job and being away in America for work. She watched as Izaya's face dropped and he looked very, very sad.
"Mum am I bad person?" Hanako rushed over and patted her sons head.
"Dear, what made you think that?" Izaya looked to his mother with tears in his eyes. Hanako quickly made all six of them hot chocolate and handed them out on a black tray. Izaya was sitting up right on Shizuo's lap, shaking softly.
"I killed someone," The twins gasped in shock and in fear. Shizuo was very shocked but knew that it must have been apart of the job and that they would never learn it was Izaya. "I didn't mean it. He was going to shoot me, so I shot him in the head," Hanako touched her child's knee and shook her head.
"Dear. I'd rather you killed a thousand men, so long as you return to my side and stay my little boy," Izaya took a sip of his hot beverage and sat it down on one of the many tables around the room.
"So how long have you been together?" Kururi asked wanting to change the subject quickly.
"It's erm been a month since we started dating," The blonde grinned that Izaya had remembered that today was the first month of them being boyfriends, though Izaya spent most of it in the hospital. "Though...I've only spent at the most half a day with him," Shizuo frowned. Since they had gotten together, Izaya stayed over that night and he stayed over before he left for America but that had been as much interaction for the first month.
In a month they had spent no time at all with each other, though Shizuo never left Izaya's side in the hospital. Hanako knitted her eyebrows together. Izaya got with the guy before christmas not on christmas. Deciding to question that later she instead sat beside her daughters and drank her own hot chocolate.
Izaya yawned tiredly and stood up, "Can we chat tomorrow. I want to go to bed," Hanako nodded and kissed her son's forehead. Izaya tugged at Shizuo's arm and led him into his bedroom. Izaya noticed that his room hadn't changed at all. Same double bed with the dark blue sheets. Same wooden drawers next to the window. Same desk near the door.
Izaya got help from Shizuo to strip from his clothes. Rei walked in and sat down clothing that they could wear and went to help Shizuo dress the tired male into pyjamas. Rei soon kissed both their cheeks before leaving but not before Sena ran in and sat beside Izaya demanding to be pet, "I'll get to be your owner soon. I'm glad you remember me. You've gotten big," Izaya crawled into bed and lay on his stomach and closed his eyes.
He felt the bed sway as Shizuo joined him. Sena lay on Izaya's pillow and fell asleep beside her master. Rei walked in quietly and looked to Shizuo with tears in her eyes, "Can we talk?" She whispered. Shizuo nodded noticing that Izaya was already sound asleep. The blonde female sat on Shizuo's lap and took a deep breath.
"What am I supposed to do about Hiroshi? I love him but what he did to Izaya was un-fair. He knows that I love him. What do I do?" Rei's ruby eyes began to swell up as her beloved husband had hurt her beloved cousin.
"Well...if Izaya ever hurt Kasuka I'd erm tell him to either deal with my love for Kasuka and to apologise for hurting him or we break up. My family has always came first," Rei nodded then slipped away.
Izaya turned his head to Shizuo and squinted at him, "Can we erm hug," Shizuo watched as Izaya crawled on top of him and lay his stomach against his. Shizuo rested his hands on Izaya's ass and kissed his cheek softly.
"I've missed you so much. I hated that one week, not being able to see you, but seeing you lie in the hospital and still not see you was one hundred times worse," Izaya smiled gently and kissed Shizuo's lips softly.
"I missed you to...but I'll talk in the morning, far to sleepy to talk. I like you," Izaya whispered as his head rested under Shizuo's chin. Shizuo chuckled softly at the 'I like you' the alternative for love but having Izaya back his feelings were even greater than this morning.
This was written quickly as I wrote most of it from the last chapter. So I hope you enjoyed and please leave a review.
