Woot it's finally done! And it sucks =D
"Well Izaya…I never thought I'd say it, but you're completely healed…"
Smirking as he pulled on his coat, Izaya turned to look at his old childhood friend; "well it just goes to show what a remarkable doctor you are Shinra."
Laughing, Shinra nervously scratched the back of his head as he continued to read the brunets medical results; "well I don't think you can say that Izaya…it took months…not to mention all the surgeries on yours legs…" "Don't I know it, but…I think I can see the end of this road now…back then…it felt so far away."
Looking up, Shinra frowned, though the man hid it well, Shizuo ditching him like he did hit him hard…even now he was underweight and his dreams where plagued by nightmares…he needed support, and not the kind he or Linda could give…he needed someone he trusted. Someone he loved…even if he did deny it…
"Are you going to try and find Shizuo?"
Hearing the name, Izaya froze, at one point his only aim was to get out of Shinra's place and find Shizuo, but now…after going so long without him, the brunet feared finding the blonde, he missed him, but he couldn't go back to how he was when the man was around…
Orihara Izaya was a feared informant, not a clingy mental case baby…
"No…I'm going to just return to how my life was before this…well, as much as I can anyway…"
"Izaya…"
"Shinra…please…don't…"
"and remember to take it easy okay…your legs have healed, but they're still very weak…you'll get days where you're pain free, and days where you probably won't be able to get out of bed…when you get a day like that take one of these, it will take away the pain for up to eight hours, but they're strong so you can only take one every 24 hours. In other words, use it wisely."
Taking the pills from Shinra, Izaya nodded slowly as he read the label; he'd never heard of this type of drug before; "This has been properly tested right?"
Laughing Shinra nodded enthusiastically; "Of course Izaya-kun, I'm hardly going to risk having you bedridden in my guest room for months on end again now am I?"
Chuckling, Izaya pocketed the pills, Shinra had a point, but he was always a bit edgy about taking medicine the underground doctor created…high school being the source of that distrust…
[Ah, Izaya you're leaving today?]
Turning towards Celty, Izaya nodded a small smirk on his face; "Yup, just on my way out the door now!~"
"Ah cool your jets for a second; we still have one more thing to discuss…"
Raising a brow, Izaya's hawk like eyes watched as Shinra left the room, only to return seconds after with a wheelchair…okay then…
"I want you to take this with you Izaya." "Wait…what?" Adjusting his glasses Shinra sighed, this was going to be painful on his ears…
"I don't like the idea of you putting too much strain on your legs just yet…even now, all you're doing is standing and your legs are shaking like a leaf…you won't be able to cope without one. I'm not saying it's permanent, just till we get your last surgery out of the way…"
Looking at the thing Izaya couldn't help the frown, he was looking forward to just getting back to a semi-normal life…how the hell could he face clients with this…this thing, he had thoughts about not using it, and saying he did, but Shinra was right, standing alone was hard…clenching his fists and teeth he gave a stiff nod towards Shinra who smiled gently at him in return.
'That was easier than I thought it would be…'
"Have a safe ride home, and I'll see you in a couple of weeks."
Giving a brisk nod to the brunet, Izaya closed the door to Togusa's van, sighing in relief as the man pulled away from Shinra's apartment complex, it felt so good to be outside again…the last time he saw it was seven months ago…
"So Izaya…mind giving me directions to your place…I don't mind taking you, but I kind of need to know where it is I'm going first…."
Turning towards the brunet, Izaya sighed before muttering out his address, they sat in silence for a while after, Togusa keeping an eye on the road while Izaya stared out the window, seeming lost in his thoughts.
"So, first time out in quite some time…you must be pretty sick of whatever crap they were feeding you right?"
Shrugging, Izaya continued looking out the window; "I guess…the first few months was bland as hell, nothing but chicken, rice and watered down soup…but towards the end...it got better."
"Watered down soup?" the disbelief in his voice was rather amusing to the brunet as he chuckled softly, but those chuckles soon died as the van passed a very familiar sight…
"Speed up…" "Huh why…you in a hurry or something?" "Just speed up!"
Raising a brow at the man's odd behaviour Togusa reluctantly put his foot down on the vans accelerator, hoping to some god that nutcase police officer wasn't on patrol as he went over the speed limit; "Happy now?"
Nodding, Izaya sighed as he rested his head against the window; "Sorry…that place…it…it doesn't hold many good memories for me…"
"You've changed…" "What do you mean?" "Exactly what I said…you've changed…"
You've changed…why did everyone keep saying that to him? Turning his head to the left he frowned, why was she still here…
"Namie-san…I said you could go home nearly three hours ago…"
Stopping what she was doing the dark haired woman turned to her estranged boss, the normal stoic look on her face as she stood placing the duster on the side table; "Izaya…you've been in 'hospital' for the last seven months, I'm hardly going to just leave you the moment you get home."
Leaning back in his chair, Izaya frowned, so it was pity…
"Namie-san, don't waste your time for my sake…" "Izaya either be quiet or go to bed. It's obvious you're in some kind of mood, so maybe a good nap will sort it out."
Rolling his eyes the man sighed; "I would, but I can't get up stairs at this moment in time…"
"You have a guestroom down here, tell me what you need from your room and I'll get it for you."
He sat in silence for a while, pondering over the woman's offer, then finally he let out a small sigh followed by a nod; "my Pyjamas are in the top drawer in the cupboard on the left hand side of my bed…and left as in when you walk in, not when lying down…"
Nodding the woman made her way up the stairs leaving Izaya to think about things…things being mainly Shizuo of course…
'Shizu-chan…where are you…?"
He tossed and he turned over and over again for what felt like hours, but he still couldn't get comfortable! This wasn't a bed; it was a block of concrete with a few blankets over it…
Turning towards the brightly shining alarm clock he frowned; 2:48PM
God this day was going torturously slow…
Pulling back the covers he sat up, if he couldn't sleep, he may as well get some work done…climbing out of bed he hissed as sharp pain ran down his legs…something he would have to get used to…
Limping to the door he sighed sadly, he really wished Shizuo was with him, especially now when he needed someone to lean on, both physically and metaphorically…but, he had no idea where the man was…heck for all he knew, he could be dead…Kasuka never did update them on his condition…bastard…Shaking his head, he sighed before slowly opening the door wincing as sunlight hit him straight in his sensitive eyes; "Namie…I've decided we really need to get some blinds for this place…"
…
No reply…
"Namie?"
Rounding the corner to the living room, Izaya was certain his heart stopped, for sitting right before him, on his sofa next to a smiling Namie, was non-other than the blonde himself…
"Shizu-chan…?"
Full paragraphs? what is this thing you speak off? (in other words I have writers block =w=)
Yes I made Namie nice xDD well okay no, I'm still going to keep her bitchy side, but I see her as the type of person, who if you're kind too her, or in some kind of psychological mess she'll be nice to you and of course if you help her win her beloved brothers love xDDDD
But it's a time skip now =) I wasn't going to bore you all with 7 months worth of useless crap that I'm sure people can use their imaginations for.
Shizu-chan's back now, but what does he have to say to Izaya for ditching him, and after like 6 months will Izaya just accept him back into his life? Review to find out~
