Chapter 2

Shizuo groaned as he walked into his math class. 'Damn I hate this class.' he grumbled in his mind as he made his way towards one of the seats in the back, dropping his bag onto the floor next to a desk and plopping down in the seat. After glancing at the wall-clock, he sighed. 'Might as well study before class starts in ten.'

"Hard at work I see." an arrogant voice came from directly behind the blonde. "What a good boy you are Shizu-chan." Izaya whispered in his ear.

A familiar shiver ran down Shizuo's entire body as he jumped in surprise. "Izaaaayaaaa." he growled as he snapped his notebook closed and turned to face the flea.

"What?" the flea said in mock innocence, putting a finger to his mouth cutely. "I was just commenting on how hard you seem to be working." He snickered a bit.

Shizuo's eyes subconsciously traveled to where Izaya's finger lay. 'Huh, his lips are really pink…and they look so smooth.' Realizing where it was that he'd been looking, Shizuo's cheeks dusted pink and he frowned up at his nemesis and growled out, "Shut up flea, and keep your face away from mine or I'll break it." He then turned back around in his seat.

The ravenette smirked and got up from his own seat before circling around Shizuo to put his elbows on the desk and head in his hands, staring into the blonde's face. "Shizu-chaaan." he cooed.

Said 'Shizu-chan' rolled his eyes and snapped out a "What ugly?" before frowning.

"You're blushing." Izaya whispered before poking Shizuo's cheeks and giggling.

"Wh-…I…but…aarrgh" stuttered the blonde, cheeks turning redder out of embarrassment and something else. 'Damn! He would notice that…he looks really cute when he giggles too…aaaahhh, what the hell am I thinking!?' "Tch, the hell I am!" The older teen cried out as he shoved Izaya's face away.

"Ow!" Izaya frowned as he stuck out his tongue and poked it. He glared at Shizuo. "You made me bite my tongue you neanderthal!"

"Well you shouldn't have stuck your ugly- 'beautiful' -mug in front of my face!"

"I demand you take me to the nurse's office!" commanded the ravenette, crossing his arms.

"Piss off! I ain't doing shit!"

As the two continued to argue, their teacher walked in, neither teen noticing and therefore continued with their bickering.

"You have two legs, so use 'em!"

"It's your fault my mouth is bleeding!" Izaya yelled as he slammed his hands on the desk, making everyone turn to stare at them. "So you need to take responsibility!"

Growling as he shot up from his seat, Shizuo towered over the smaller male, ready to retaliate. But before he could say anything, Nakamura-san walked over and pushed the boys apart. "Izaya, Shizuo, what are you boys fighting about this time?" she sighed, eying both males warily.

"This brute pushed me, which caused me to bite my tongue, and now he won't take me to the infirmary!" Izaya cried out, pointing an accusing finger at the blonde.

Snickers were heard across the classroom. Nakamura-san turned her head to level a frown at them before turning back around to glare at the future Fortissimo.

"Hewajima Shizuo-"

"Nakamura-san, he-"

"I don't want to hear it Heiwajima, you WILL escort Orihara-kun to the infirmary,-"

"But-"

"-and then you will escort yourself to the Dean's."

Shizuo clenched his teeth together but nodded in understanding. "Hai, Nakamura-san."

Izaya bowed his head respectfully. "Arigatou, sensei." he said before walking off with a triumphant smirk on his face. "Come on Shizu-chan~" he called sweetly.

A growl and a curse were heard before the blonde stomped after the ravenette. As they made their way out the door and down the hall to the infirmary, Shizuo kept silent, a frown marring his handsome face.

The smaller teen threaded his arm with the blonde's and giggled in delight. "Oh this is so much fun, Shizu-chan!"

Snapping out of his stupor, Shizuo looked down at their joined arms then snatched his away from the flea's. "Don't touch me you little faggot."

The Izaya's face fell and he stopped. "….What did you just call me?" he whispered.

Shizuo smirked and turned to face the smaller teen as he slowly repeated what he'd said. "I said, don't touch me you LITTLE FAGGOT."

Izaya drew back his hand and slapped the blonde-HARD. Tears gathered in his eyes as he glared at Shizuo angrily, his body trembling. "How dare you!"

Shizuo's head snapped to the right, eyes widening in shock. 'What the…' Blinking rapidly, the blonde slowly turned his head to stare at the smaller male. "What the hell!?"

Izaya slapped him again on the other cheek. "Asshole!" he shrieked, "Jerk! Douche bag!" He repeatedly hit the blonde wherever he could reach, face, chest, arms. He was blinded by rage and hot tears, lashing out furiously. "Do you have any fucking idea about the shit I go through every fucking day because of assholes like you, you fucking homophobic piece of shit!?"

Being the humanoid brick wall that he was, Shizuo simply stood there in shock, watching the smaller teen as he ranted and raved. 'What the hell!? All I said was don't touch me. I ALWAYS tell him that I didn't say anything diff-' The blonde's train of thought screeched to a halt as he thought over what he'd said. 'Shit, is he pissed because I called him a faggot?'

"Oi, are you pissed 'cuz I called you a faggot?"

Izaya looked up at him, tears streaming down his face. "No shit you fucking protozoan! Do you have any idea how offensive that term is!? Especially to those like me!?"

As the flea's words sunk in, Shizuo's lip curled up in disgust. "You're gay!" It wasn't a question, but a statement. "I should have known that a little fur-wearing creep like you would be gay." And with that, the blonde snorted and walked away, heading towards the Dean's.

The ravenette drew his knife and threw it at Shizuo, but it fell short, clattering to the floor. Shizuo never even looked back. Izaya crumbled to the ground, the blonde giant's retreating form the last thing he saw before he fainted from exhaustion.
