Homecoming
Shizuo was slumped on his couch, irritably fanning himself with the mail he wasn't going to read. The temperature had reached impossibly sweltering numbers forcing Shizuo to go shirtless and groan in anger as his body burned up. There was something about the heat that he just couldn't take, the cold was fine, if it got too cold he could light up a cigarette and warm up but in the heat he couldn't even smoke. He had contemplated on going to visit Izaya at the hospital to enjoy the cool breeze of the air conditioner but he was being released later so he couldn't visit till the evening. Picking up the air conditioners remote up he threw it at the broken appliance. That probably wasn't going to fix it but if he didn't want it broken he probably wouldn't have punched it in the first place...
Sighing he got up and went to cool himself down with a shower, he had to go out and buy a few things for Izaya. The raven haired man would pout and whine if Shizuo turned up empty handed, that last time he had insisted Shizuo walk to the convenience store in the rain because he hadn't brought him the 'hello panda' sweets he had asked for. They may be in a 'relationship' of sorts now but he was still pretty annoying. Although Shizuo had to admit this new 'relationship' had its perks. It's a good thing he was having a cold shower.
Shizuo was on his way to the hospital, colourfully wrapped basket in tow, when an old lady selling fans at a stall beckoned him over. Looking around he confirmed that it was him she was calling and he obliged merely for the fact that someone was calling him over, not running away from him.
"You look like you're going to the hospital, is that for your girlfriend?" she smiled pointing at the basket cradled in his arms. He was tempted to burst out laughing at the thought of Izaya being called his girlfriend, but well he did sort of fit the profile. And the colourfully rainbow packaged basket filled with girly treats was misleading.
"Um yeah." he coughed to cover his amusement.
"Why don't you buy her one of these?" she held up a beautifully patterned black silk fan, golden dragons surrounded by delicate wisps of silver smoke adorned the soft, almost transparent back silk. "They're special, they have more ribs than ordinary ones. Look..." She opened it up showing the wide splay of ribs, "It is to symbolise the different paths in life, and bring you good fortune."
Well if there was anyone who had many paths in their life it was Izaya, Shizuo could never guess what he was going to do next or where he was going to go. Smiling at the old lady he delved into his pocket. His 'girlfriend' better be grateful he smiled.
His 'girlfriend' however was already in a bad mood. Shizuo was late. Izaya tapped the fingers of his newly healed left arm and kept his eyes trained on the door. He could hear the clock ticking away all the seconds that Shizuo was making him wait. He was going to pay. I mean they were in a relationship so he shouldn't be making him wait, what makes it worse is that he's making him wait in hospital. He's injured and Shizuo is nowhere to be seen, oh he is not going to hear the end of this.
Click
The door opened revealing Shizuo's profile, he was saying something to someone Izaya couldn't see, so instead of paying attention to the conversation he opted to appreciate his profile.
"You're gonna catch flies if you gape..." Shizuo smiled stepping into the room. Izaya hadn't realised he was 'gaping' at him, embarrassedly he shut mouth and quickly went into acting mode. Adorning his face with the best pout he could muster he crossed his arms (and that was an achievement considering his right arm was still in a cast) and irritably muttered under his breath, loud enough for Shizuo to hear,
"I'm still really injured so the medicines are strong, i was not 'gaping' I've just been sitting here too long. You were supposed to be here a while ago."
"You mean five minutes ago?" Shizuo slumped into a chair and watched Izaya bemused, he could be so cute when he pouted.
"I can't tell how long the minutes are because of my condition," he sighed dramatically and lay back in bed staring at the ceiling as though lamenting his fate.
"Yeah ok, the doctor should be here in a while to discharge you 'officially'," he used air quotes to demonstrate he didn't get why they had to do all that.
"What's that?" he pointed at the basket noticing it for the first time.
"Present." He held out the basket to Izaya who shot up straight in bed and abandoned all pretence. Grabbing the basket gleefully he enthusiastically unwrapped it, tossing paper and plastic everywhere. Eyes sparkling in happiness he observed the gifts one by one gleefully, maybe he could let Shizuo off just this once he thought as he happily observed his presents. For an idiot Shizuo was quite good at buying things he liked. Raising his eyes to graciously forgive Shizuo his eyes were drawn to something beside the blonde.
"Hey what's that?" he tilted his head to try and get a better look.
"You have an attention problem," Shizuo laughed exasperatedly and presented the fan to him, explaining what the old lady had said, of course omitting the 'girlfriend' part, Izaya may be in a hospital bed but he would still find a way to punish Shizuo for something like that.
Laden with bags he exited the hospital, trudging sluggishly behind Izaya who was happily fanning himself with his new acquisition whilst being pushed in a wheelchair by a certain irritable blonde.
"So where are we going?" Izaya questioned Shizuo who looked back confused.
"Umm don't you want to go home? You just got out of hospital..."
"Exactly! I just got out of hospital, take me somewhere!" he insisted bouncing up and down in his wheelchair. Being injured wasn't having that much of an effect on him.
"The hell have i gotten myself into? Stupid fucking book..." he trailed off as he pushed the excitable bundle of crazy in the wheelchair towards the park.
Just in case you're confused the 'stupid fucking book' shizuo is referring to is the psych book he read all those wonderful chapters ago, back when izaya was come free lol
