These couple of chapters seem like filler, but I'm just trying to get into the relationship and form the habits in the relationship a bit before I get into the stuff later on. I can't really get into that storyline kind of stuff until I put some foundation, so this is the foundation, enjoy it~ Anyway, I have a lot of time on my hands lately, don't know why, but I might MIGHT be able to update another chapter later on, but I'm not sure yet. If a lot people want that to happen I'll do it.
After a couple of days I started to get used to the stupid flea hanging around me. It was becoming a regular thing, walk to school with Izaya and my brother, eat snacks with Izaya and Shinra, sit next to Izaya in class, and eat lunch with Izaya, Shinra, and my brother. Not to mention walk home with the little flea. The only time I felt I had to myself was on the weekend which was coming up. Since it was Friday my mother usually takes Kasuka and I out into city to eat some ice cream or something. She has Friday off usually. I already knew that Izaya was gonna tag along anyway possible. I knew my mother wouldn't say no if Izaya asked if he could go. My mother would take one look at that stupid flea and she melted like ice melting on the sidewalk in the summer.
"Izaya-kun sure likes you, bro." Kasuka states as he sits next to me on the bench. Izaya is busy playing in the lawn as Kasuka and I wait for our mother to come pick us up. "He hasn't left your side since school started on Monday…"
"Don't remind me." I say with clenched teeth. Not only is Izaya clingy, but he's troublesome too. He repeatedly says he likes me or likes hanging around me, but he seems to get my in trouble a lot. Just this afternoon I had these bullies roughhousing with me. Izaya stood watching from afar as if it were some awesome show. I couldn't stand the sight of him. I usually can't stand the sight of him anyway, but it was that smirk he was wearing at that moment that made me realize it was his doing.
But despite all he's put me through he acts as if nothing has happened. He framed me for making bad pictures during class, he cries when I'm not even touching him, he makes me so mad that I end up getting in trouble for trying to kill him. He stole my homework, poured water on me during break when I fell asleep; he even poured water on my pants to make me look ridiculous. All the while he isn't afraid in the slightest.
"You know, it's kind of nice. At least you have someone that isn't afraid of you, besides me and Shinra."
"I bet Shinra is scared of me." I say simply as I watch the other kids hop aboard the bus. "I'm not really in the mood to talk about that flea since I've had my fill of him this whole stupid week. He follows me everywhere! Even to the bathroom…"
"Hmm, that's kind of weird…"
"If you think that's weird, what would be extremely weird?" I ask a bit annoyed.
"I don't know maybe if he said he wanted to marry you?" I froze. Stupid flea is a psycho. I knew it from the start.
Suddenly I hear Izaya screaming hysterically and when I turn around he's frailing his arms and trying to get something out of the hood of his jacket. He looks as though he's going to have a heart attack. I dully get over to him and look down on him as he shakes his head to rid himself of whatever is on him.
"What is your problem!" I ask loudly.
"There's a bug in my hood! Shizu-chan it's gonna eat me!" Izaya says as his eyes start to tear up. Oh for the love of…
"Turn around." I say sternly. Izaya quickly turns around, fidgeting all the while. I search inside his hood and see nothing. "Nope, nothing's there. It probably snuck inside your ear and is now in your twisted brain." I say in the same dullness as Kasuka. Izaya's face freezes and then he clings onto.
"I'm too cute to be eaten alive!" Izaya screams as he buries his face in my shirt. I sigh and then notice a little red dot in Izaya's black, soft hair. It travels around, trying to find its way back home. I put my hands on both sides of Izaya's head and look at the crawling little bug. Izaya stops crying but asks me what it is I think I'm doing. I put my hand on Izaya's head in the pathway of the little bug and capture it in my hand. It crawls around on the palm of my hand before flying away.
"There, it's gone. There were probably too many twisted things in your brain. It probably didn't want to turn crazy like you." Izaya suddenly smiles as he wipes away his tears.
"You saved me Shizu-chan…" He says as he whimpers.
"Please don't do that." I say simply. I then hear my mother's car pull up. I turn around and smile. I turn to Izaya and glare at him. "Stay here."
"You're leaving me…?" Izaya asks as he pouts.
"Isn't that obvious? I mean, first of all I don't like, second, I don't like, and third, I don't like you. Oh, and lastly you're a freak!" I say furiously. I take my backpack and swing it over my shoulder. Izaya grabs my hand and whines a little before I slip out of his grasp.
"You can't just leave me here, what if someone beats me up? Or what if someone takes me away in some car to take me away to some other country?" Izaya asks as he starts to tear up.
"Hopefully that country is far away from here." I say as I open the door to the car.
"Oh, Izaya-kun, how are you?" Crap.
"Shizu-chan is being mean to me again!" Izaya says loudly as he points at me. "He says he doesn't like me!" Well it's true. I think if anyone was in my shoes they would feel the same.
"Shizu-chan I didn't raise you to be like that!" My mother says angrily. Now I know where I get my temper from. "Apologize to poor, little Izaya-kun now!"
"But mom, he…" She gives me that look that she usually gives me when he wants to make me do something I don't want to. It's actually really scary... "Fine, I'm sorry…Can we just go now?"
"Of course, Izaya-kun would you like to join us? We're heading into city so I can do some errands and other motherly things." Other motherly things? Like shopping for herself?
"Can I?"
"Of course, I know how much you love being with Shizuo here." Love? What does she mean by love?
"Thank you~!" Izaya says as he hops into the seat next to me.
And to think I used to love car rides…Right now I just want this to be over…
My mother bought all three of us ice cream once we made it into the city. Then we followed her inside one of the clothing stores. I hated this part of the 'going out with mom'. Kasuka didn't seem to mind, but then again he didn't seem to mind anything.
"You boys can stay here while I go try on some outfits." My mother says as she runs off somewhere. There's only one chair to sit on so I let Kasuka sit down while I just decide to stand next to him. Izaya isn't the type of kid to sit down and be quiet though. As soon as I turn around he's gone. I smack my forehead in anger. Why did he always do this? Why was he so hyper? Can't he just sit still, shut up, and behave like me and Kasuka? Well…like Kasuka at least. I have my stupid temper that makes me misbehave…
"Shizu-chan~!" Izaya calls out from somewhere. He pokes my side and then runs off towards somewhere. I look at Kasuka and tell him to wait here until I get back. He only nods dully. "Come on Shizu-chan you're too slow~!" Stupid flea! I get so mad even with the little things that he does. I know he wants me to get mad because otherwise he wouldn't smirk when he wins his "little game" as he calls it now. If this is a game I really don't like playing it. I hate getting mad and I hate using my strength out of blind anger. He hides behind some clothes hangers and then sticks out his head to stick out his tongue at me and smile. This makes me even madder.
"IIZZAAYYAA!" I say angrily as I take one of the manikins and threw it at where Izaya was, but it missed. Izaya laughed childishly and then skipped away. The people around me look at me with fear and then walk away slowly as I run pass them. "Where the hell did you go you little flea?" I ask as I look around, searching behind the clothes racks and customer service counters.
"Are you looking for your mommy, little boy?" A woman asks kindly to me. I freeze from surprise. Once I get angry I forget all about other people…I get a little shy and shake my head in a no. I then feel something hit my head. Was that a filled water bottle?
"Shizu-chan can't catch me~!" Izaya says as he runs away. The woman looks at me with a smile, realizing that we're just 'playing'. I run after Izaya and then slow down as I lose him again. Then I realize where I am.
"Flea!" I say with a slight blush. It was the woman section of the clothing department…My mom told me to never come here unless I was with her so people wouldn't think I was a "pervert" as she called it. "Flea, where are you!"
"I'm right here." Izaya says as he taps me on the shoulder to the left of me and puts his arms behind his back innocently. "Shizu-chan is so silly. Now I know where your blind spot is." I grab his arm roughly and try to lead us out of this part of the store. "Shizu-chan…I want to play some more~!"
"Hell no! We're in too much trouble as it is! First you run off, making us get lost and now we're in the woman section of the store where my mom told me never to go!"
"Shizu-chan is a goodie-two-shoes."
"Make up your mind, you flea! Am I a bully, monster, or a goodie-two-shoes?" I ask angrily.
"I guess all three~!" He says happily. "Ow, ow, ow Shizu-chan that hurts!"
"Where…where the heck are we…" I say as I suddenly realized we've made our way to the perfume department. I release my hold on the flea and start looking for a chair to climb on so I can see if I can find my mom. I then realize that letting go of that brat wasn't the best idea.
I scan the area and find him sitting in a chair pointing at some of the perfume to the saleswoman.
"That one smells better~!" Izaya says as he points to it and the lady hands it to him. She seems to be enjoying him being there. God, why is it only me that hates his guts? I suddenly see the saleswoman put some perfume on his wrists. My eye twitches.
"Flea, that stuff is for girls!" The saleswoman leaves to take care of some other people and so I'm not so worried about trying to swish this bug.
"I know, I just wanted to smell good~!" Izaya says as he sniffs his wrist.
"Get down from there!" I say angrily.
"No, Shizu-chan was hurting me before. I rather stay up here where it's safe from monsters~!" After he says that I shake the chair around until he falls down on top of me. "See, you shook that chair like some gorilla shaking a tree."
"Come on, we don't have time for this. I have to find my mom." I say as I get a hold on his wrists again. I then remember the perfume. "Gah! Gross!"
"Now Shizu-chan smells good~!" Izaya says with a smirk. Suddenly Izaya pulls me over to a poster that is standing outside of a movie shop. "Look Shizu-chan, that guy has blonde hair! I bet Shizu-chan would look great with blonde hair!" I blink in surprise. I touch my brown locks and then blush.
"No I wouldn't…" I say as I walk away from him. "Besides I wouldn't do that to my hair just because you said it would look nice."
"I think being blonde would suit you~" Izaya says with a blush, but then blinks in surprise when he catches me looking at him. "I mean, because everyone says blondes are dumb and Shizu-chan is the dumbest person I know~"
"IIZZAAYYAA!" I say angrily. I try and grab him, but a security guard suddenly takes my hand.
"I found them." He says into the walkie-talkie. "Come on boys; let's take you back to your mom." Izaya obeys and takes the guard's hand without much trouble. So he only likes to play around with me, huh? I hate him.
After we got back with my mom, I got scolded for running off, but Izaya wasn't yelled at. Everything is unfair! My mom doesn't mind me complaining though. She ignores me as we walk back to the car. Izaya skips next to me and tells me that he liked our little trip. I didn't. I hated every minute of it. Well, no, maybe I did like chasing him. It was sort of fun, but I wouldn't mind if he stopped trying to get me mad. But he'll never stop. He's probably gonna get a job where being annoying is part of it.
On the way home I felt really sleepy, but Izaya was even more tired than me so he leaned closer to me and put his head on my shoulder as he drifted off to sleep. I didn't have enough energy to push him away so I just let him snuggle close to me. I drifted off to sleep too after a while.
I guess all that running around sure tired me out. Even if he is a pain, Izaya sure knows how to make things interesting even if it's just for a little while.
A/N: Shizu-chan just loves chasing Izaya. It's fun! Anyway, please, please review! I feed off that kind of stuff and right now I'm pretty hungry~Thanks to all of you who are reading and reviewing, it's much appreciated.
