Tada! 2 chapters in one day! I think I made Shizuo a little bit ooc. Please let me know if it's too much.
~I think I turned "someone" into a Shizaya fan...
Celty ushered him inside and sat him on the sofa. After running off to get towels, she handed them to Shizuo. He sat there on the sofa, motionless and exhausted.
Throwing the towels onto his lap, she sat down across from him and looked at him thoughtfully.
"You don't look well. Tell me what happened."
Shizuo didn't want to speak. It was painful. If he started crying it would be embarrassing. He breathed deeply and didn't say anything.
"Did someone remind you of your strength again?"
Wait. What?
Shizuo looked confused.
"What do you mean by that?
"Oh, so someone told you about your ability to lift and throw heavy objects, right? I was told it makes you depressed."
Shizuo laughed. So that's what Izaya had told everyone. The flea was clever.
"Obviously that's not it," typed Celty. "Tell me the truth. What happened?"
Shizuo swallowed hard. This was going to be difficult to explain.
"Umm…That it…I…no..wait..umm…" he tried to begin. He could not mouth the words.
"Whatever it is, it's obviously troubling you and if you don't say anything now, it'll just build up."
"Izaya is gone," came suddenly out of Shizuo's mouth. He looked down, trying to hide the agony in his face. "He just left suddenly, without a word or a note. All he left behind for me was money."
Celty was double shocked. She was shocked that Izaya had left so suddenly and she was even more shocked that Shizuo seemed to care deeply about it. Was this the amnesia?
"He didn't leave anything behind that you could track him with?"
"No, nothing. He took all his electronics except his computer which has this crazy-ass passcode on it. I don't know what to do! He's not anywhere in Ikebukuro."
Celty was even more shocked when she looked at Shizuo's face. Was that LOVE she saw in his eyes?
How the hell did this happen?
"Do you know why he left?"
"No."
"Did you do or say anything to him to make him leave?"
She noticed as soon as she had said that, Shizuo's face flushed with red.
"So you did…huh. Gee, I wonder what you did to get Izaya to just suddenly pack up and leave? What did you do, confess to him or something?"
Shizuo's head shot up.
"He returned my feelings though!"
WHAT. THE. HELL… was all that went through Celty's mind. Did she seriously just hear that?
"S-so you two were…d-dating?" she typed, waveringly.
"Yeah…"
"Did you have a lovers spat or something?"
"No, not at all. Everything was great…"
"Then I don't understand. Did you do something to him that he didn't like?"
"He said he liked it."
Shizuo suddenly flushed bright crimson.
Oh-shit-what-did-I-just-say?
He hid his face in his palms.
Meanwhile Celty's mind was spinning.
Oh my god, what is going on here. I cannot believe I am hearing this. Is this a dream? This is unreal…oh my god…
"Liked exactly…what?" She was too curious.
"When I kissed him."
Shizuo covered his face even more. Why was he saying this stuff?
You KISSED Izaya? Is what Celty wanted to scream out but she held it in. Alright, this was not the time to lose it. Shizuo needed help, and she was supposed to help him, not make it worse.
"What makes you so sure of that?"
"I just know! This is embarrassing, do I have to continue to tell you every detail of my personal life?"
"Yes, please," typed Celty, who could pretty much guess what was going to come next.
"Tell me everything."
