Keira sat at that breakfast table with her head in her hands. It had been a few days since she had confessed her crush on Izaya to him. She had kind of moped around and Celty and Shinra noticed but didn't say anything. She was still new to them even if she was Celty's sister.
Celty didn't know what to expect from her and she didn't know if her sister would get angry with her like she did with Shizuo. He basically told them he didn't like Keira; that she was too much like the Flea. Celty would've much rather her sister like him than Izaya but that obviously wasn't going to happen.
"Good morning," Celty said sitting across from her sister who nodded as she stared at the table, "Are you okay? You've been acting… strange since the other night."
"Hmm," Keira mumbled as she sat up and looked at her sister, "Oh, I kind of bumped into Izaya-san that night…"
"Oh…" Celty wondered what had happened, "… Did… did he figure it out."
"No," Keira said looking away, "he kind of…" and she told her sister what had happened, "… I didn't know he meant something like that until he told me."
"…" If Celty had a mouth she would've been gaping at her sister in shock. She didn't think what Izaya had done was right. He should've never tried to take advantage of Keira like that, or at all anyway. Celty felt furious at him and Keira could feel it.
"Hey, don't get too angry at him, I kind of led him on after all." Keira said looking at her hands and blushing, "I haven't done anything wild like that since before you became a Dullahan," she said smiling at an old memory, "you were just as angry then as you are now."
"What happened then?" Celty asked her.
"Well, considering that back then kissing like Izaya-san kissed me was a bit too much…" Keira smiled at her sister, "… well you beat the crap out of the poor boy. You've always been my over protective big sister."
"Maybe I should beat the crap out of Izaya-san." Celty said thoughtfully.
"No, don't hurt him." Keira said shaking her head, "unlike the boy back then I like this one."
"You sure can pick them." Celty said shaking her neck as if she were shaking her head.
"Yeah so can you." She said tilting her head towards Shinra as he came into the room mumbling coffee like he was chanting.
"Well, at least he's… never mind." Celty said and they both laughed.
"What's so funny?" Shinra asked sitting next to Celty.
"Oh nothing, bed head-san," Keira said smiling.
"Hey, I've seen you walking down the hall after just waking up and your hair is scary too." He said and she nodded.
"Celty-nee always had perfect hair when she woke up." Keira said pouting at her sister, "you and mom both."
"… Can you believe that?" Izaya said laughing after he told Namie what had happened between him and Keira, "Oh and that's not even the best part, she admitted she likes me."
"Congratulations, you and Kishitani Shinra have another thing in common." Namie said as if she were bored.
"The only difference is he returns the feelings." Izaya laughed and Namie sighed as she filed things for him.
"Doesn't seem that way to me." She said and he blinked at her, "you talk more about her than you do humans."
"I don't have feelings for anyone Namie-chan," Izaya said smirking, "you should know that by now."
"She isn't human though," she said glancing at him, "you claim that you can't love an individual human, but what about faeries?"
"I don't have feelings for her." Izaya said and Namie shrugged as she continued to file.
Izaya thought about what his secretary said as he typed on his computer. It wasn't possible for him to feel things like that. He'd never felt close to anyone, not even his family, but maybe that was only because he feared that if he got close to someone they'd leave him. He didn't want to be close to anyone since they would be a liability for him emotionally. Izaya had always denied himself some emotions like individual love and for good reasons. Not a lot of people liked him and if he angered the wrong people they would go after those he was closest to rather than him. In a way he was keeping his family safe by staying away from them even if they didn't think of it that way.
"… I was punished by being given immortality…" her words repeated themselves in his head. He still didn't see how that was a punishment, but it made sense that she wouldn't want it since she would see everyone around her die. She would probably see her own sister die before her and everyone she ever cared for. She would out live Izaya too.
Izaya found himself pitying her again even though he wasn't sure why. Maybe he'd let himself get close to her, or he could just humor her and act like he cared. That could be fun for a while. It would give him something to do and he would get to play with a different kind of creature for a change. He would still mess with his humans though, but he still couldn't help but wonder what it would take to break Keira.
"I'll break her then." He thought darkly to himself, "no matter what it takes, I'll break her."
Ladybug's Ramble: Yeah, sorry it's a filler. I seriously just wrote this before school and then posted it. Izaya is questioning himself. Celty's all like "OH NO HE DIDN'T~!" *giggles* I always have thought of her as a big sister to Shizuo so I found it easy to write that part. Sorry for the shortness... Please review. Ladybug out~!
