Grand exchange

Chapter 4

Glaring at one another the two male seated on the café remained silent as they ate in silence, Shizuo settled with orange juice since the flea would not let him have his order of milkshake. Shizuo took all the courage not to bash the flea's head straight into the table but then again he won't or dare to hurt his own body. Grimacing as izaya sipped the black coffee he made a small sound of 'tsk' and was startled as Shizuo slammed the glass of juice in the table.

"Alright let's settled this! I hate being with your presence"

"you know the feeling is mutual, I have to tolerate your presence but seeing my own handsome face, it's not bad though" Izaya grinned and placed the cup gracefully on the wooden table.

"fucking narcissist" Shizuo muttered under his breath

"alright, first of all-"

"wait, can I say my directions first? God knows how long you are going to blabber with that mouth of yours."

"that's rude!" Izaya pouted and leaned back on his seat. Shizuo clenched his fist as he looked at himself pout exaggeratedly.

"first of all, DO NOT make such weird face! Second, you keep my job well I do not intend to be fired. Third take care of Kona sh-"

"oh so Kona is the name of that ungrateful feline! Did you know that she scratched me! Its not very welcoming"

"could you at least let me finish? Her food is above the cupboard in the kitchen, she likes to be pet and don't yell at her. Fourth watch out for your strength you may think you are holding things loosely but it was a tight grip, so just watch for that" Izaya looked at the other as he spoke he clearly saw the gloom he had on his eyes before narrowing it to the other. "guess that would be all"
Izaya smiled and leaned on the table "okay, my turn now, if you want you could take a note on it so that you could remember it."

"no need"

"alright, like I said before, the water temperature should be normal, second, weigh yourself every after bath and if you weigh more than 58kg have a light breakfast, on the drawer in the kitchen there was a small white bottle take a pill after breakfast without fail, if you forgot it just take it after lunch or dinner"

"what's that pills for" shizuo asked as he tilted his head, he didn't expect the flea to be taking some medications.

"you don't have to know, lets continue and oh by the way I need my laptop did you bring it? I texted you " izaya tapped his foot as he saw the other grabbed a bag and handed it to him. "oh right! DO NOT smoke your cancer sticks, hmm.. and do not eat peanuts, I guess that would be all."

After the meeting in the café, no Izaya wouldn't call it a meeting he might considered it as a small talk, actually it was the first time he had talk to the blond in a long time without tearing half of the town into shreds. Stretching his limbs he sighed and continued to walk checking his phone, they had exchanged phones, Shizuo would text him if Tom would meet up with him. So flipping through his messages he looked at the new one that arrived. [Flea, Tom texted me to meet at the park, go there and stop strolling around and work your ass on!]
Izaya only sighed as he went to the park and finally saw the employer of the brute. The man named Tom Tanaka, stood in the entrance of the park checking his watch as he waited for the blond. Looking back he saw a blond bleached man walking towards his direction which he highly doubt as Shizuo since he wasn't wearing his usual bartender suit.

"Shizuo?" the older male asked a bit confused.

"Hello Tom-san" Izaya smiled as he stood beside the other who had a dumbfounded expression.

"Well, that's quite new, why aren't you wearing your usual clothes?"

"just trying a new style for a moment, so let's go?"Izaya said and started walking, while the other followed him lightly shaking his head as he stared at the blond in his front. Little did he know who was inside the body of the short fuse monster.

"you seemed to be in a fine mood today"

"no Tom-san, right now I am quite upset. I can't really put up into words just how upset I am, ive been wondering maybe it's the weather which clearly is not, I just had this unsual feeling of being upset, Its soooo irritating and if you try to-…." He stopped talking as he realized that he was supposed to act like the brute. Tom looked at him arching a brow at how talkative his companion now, Izaya by noticing this covered his act "try to.. to bash someone's head in the wall! Stupid people!" he even tried to growl and glared at the ground, Tom seeing this shook his head as he smiled, probably convinced izaya thanked that his blessed talent as an actor.

"relax, I don't want you to berserk so early"

"sure" izaya sighed as he followed his now 'new' boss. He forgot the Shizuo rarely speak and most of the time is silent. Well this day would probably be interesting he could finally experience what kind of people he would encounter; it might be enjoyable listening to some lame excuses that would be fun! Yup definitely!. Walking to their destination Izaya and Tom stopped in front of a house. Izaya tilted his head, he knew the owner of this house a man who gambles all his money, also worked as one of Shiki's bodyguard. Izaya grinned the excitement he felt doubled when said man opened the door as Tom knocked.

"what?" the man over his late thirties with brunette hair leaned on the doorframe holding a beer on his left hand.

"well, we are here to collect your dept, if you could clearly remember you owed our agency big time."

"hah! I don't have the money now, come back later"

"well we really need the money, and I don't want trouble here, right Shizuo?" Tom said and looked at 'Shizuo' who was smirking at the man, he was surprised that the blond didn't growl or the make his brow furrow together indicating he was pissed, he seemed calm.

"yeah, of course~ don't want any trouble, Akira Taoru-san, I was even wondering if your wife know about Himakura-chan. "

"how did?"

"and how can you even say, you don't have money when you have been recently paid on your illegal deal without the Awakusu knowing?" Izaya took a step forward and slammed his fist on the wooden frame which made a dent. "you know Awakusu-kai, they don't like traitors" he murmured the last part and before Tom could comprehend what the hell just happened the man tossed out a suitcase with his paid debt.

"that was easy" izaya murmured and looked at Tom who was confused.

"Shizuo how did you..?"

"umm… sources?" Izaya mentally face palmed, he forgot again.

-meanwhile in Shinjuku

"who the hell are you?" Shizuo froze on the spot as he entered his new home, in the office table a woman with long brown hair was carrying a stack of paper and dropped in into the table.

"who am i? Izaya, you surely play lame jokes" she said and huffed as she pushed back some of her hair strands behind his ear. Shizuo continued to stare at the woman and sat on the couch. Namie Yagiri sensed the confusion on the raven's face and sighed. "oh don't tell me you forgot my paycheck, im just trying hard to work as your secretary I don't care about you"
oh secretary, didn't know the flea had one.but whoever this secretary is he didn't feel her in fact he doesn't like the said secretary and just decided to ignore her as he sat on the leather couch and just stared at the monitor for god knows how long, he was just thinking what he should do, or what was the flea doing with his body now, he sighed and looked at the dark monitor again which was displaying his reflection. At that moment Shizuo had the time to observe the flea's face. His raven locks was neat and soft, his lashes were long, his small nose and that wonderful curved lips, it would be nice to kiss- woah! What was I thinking.

"was this a miracle?" the woman on the other desk said as he sorted some papers , her attention was on the paper though she was asking her employer.

"what miracle?"

"you remained silent for the past twenty five minutes"

"is that really strange?" Shizuo tilted his head and looked at her with confusion. Namie pilled the paper down and looked at the raven before he smirked.

"what's with that look? I haven't seen you like that. Oh yeah you are not ranting now, it's a miracle"

"tch!" Shizuo rolled his eyes and just sat there and closed his eyes, yeah he needed to act like the flea, duh. Shizuo huffed, why would he act like one? He prefer to die rather than act like the flea, he grabbed the pen and played with it, gripping it tightly nothing happened. "so this is what it feels like to be normal" he murmured and continued to grip the pen in an attempt to break it but it didn't smiling a bit Shizuo closed his eyes and decided to just get some nap in the comfy leather chair. But before he could go to dream land a loud thud made him flinch, cracking an eye he stared at the stack of papers on his desk.

"Don't you dare sleep at me Izaya!" she huffed and grabbed her purse. "im done with my work its time for you to work that out now and check it'" with that said she left the building and closed the door behind her. Shizuo looked at the stack of paper. "what the hell am I supposed to do with this?" he carefully lifted one of the paper and raised a brow.

"Karu, Mikage 27 years old, married with …. Had two kids.. likes to gamble and spent most time in the .. what the hell is this" Shizuo huffed and grabbed another file which also contained another information of a certain someone. "the fuck is this? Is this what the flea always do? Stalk someone and gather information, its creepy"

"its called working"

Shizuo looked up to see himself walking inside the house. "I bought some food figured that you don't like what's on my fridge". Shizuo blinked and stood up as he headed to Izaya

"how did you went inside?"

"what do you mean how? Its my house of course I could come and go when I please" he smiled and placed a box of cake and some ootoro in the table. "I know you like sweets but you are only allowed to eat when im around and when I tell you so"

"im not your servant I will do what I want" he huffed and took the box and started to take slice when izaya slapped his hands away.

"well its my body that you are violating!" he ran a hand on his now blond locks and looked at Shizuo. "oh by the way im staying for the night"
