Grand exchange

Chapter 7

"Shizuo!"

This is not what he was expecting, not in his life nor the way he known Shizuo, this is most certainly not right, Izaya thought idly as he stood in front of the Heiwajima residence. The informant was even excited when he was informed that there will be a family dinner on the brute's house he wanted to know how his family treated him, for sure they hate him because he was a monster, he isn't normal like any other kids out there. Hell Izaya was even grinning as he made his way to Shizuo's parents, he had imagine them giving the monster the right treatment, cold glares, a visible frown on their faces maybe even ignoring his presence that would be fun, yep that was what Izaya was thinking until he arrived and pressed the doorbell, and as soon as Shizuo's mother came out everything he was thinking melted as the woman opened the gate and practically tackled him.

"Shizuo my boy! I missed you! you rarely show up here you know, you are making me upset" Namiko Heiwajima a nurse and a beautiful lady who was the eldest daughter on her family. Namiko starred at 'her' son who was spacing out staring at him, she then stepped backward and sighed. "did you get on fight with that Izaya again?" Izaya blinked and shook his head, finally paying his attention at the woman in his front.

"uh .. no not really just having a bad mood" izaya replied still thinking that the brute talk about him with his mother.

"oh well that's great it's the first time now, every time you get here, its either you are panting, glaring or sometimes looking so near to kill people"

Izaya just gaped again. Is this woman seriously Shizu-chan's mother? Why isn't she bothered about it? Her son was a monster, she should be mad at what Shizu-chan is doing and she looked young, am I facing the right person.

"well, let's go inside okay? Just take the flea out of your head for a moment" definitely his mother Izaya thought idly as he followed Namiko inside the house.

"im surprised you used the doorbell though, you always come busting in as usual, are you trying to be more polite now? You should help me in the kitchen" she smiled and tiptoed to ruffle his blond locks before she blinked. "oh my, you've gotten taller now, by the way Kasuka said he might be late today, all the taping he was working on.. im such a lucky woman having two handsome boys" izaya followed her as she went to the kitchen, still was very un used at the treatment that he never experience while growing up. Is this how moms always do? He asked himself and caught an apron that was tossed on his direction.

"we will cook?" he asked timidly and raised a brow.

"my, what's wrong with you, we both prepare the meals you know .. are you sick?" she asked and crossed the room to touch the his forehead.

"im fine" he swatted her hands away and started wearing the apron.

"if you treat girls that way, you won't never have a girlfriend, kasuka even had one already, do you want to be called prude?"

"NO!" izaya acted upon instincts as if he was the one being asked, and went to grab the knife and starting chopping. Namiko smiled and started washing the fresh vegetables.

"I just want my eldest son to have a family of his own, living with someone who means a lot to you"

"no one wanted me anyway.. with this strength" yes, that's right, nobody wanted you Shizu-chan, because everybody hates you, only fool would ever live with you.

"those who doesn't want you will miss one half of their life, its because they haven't saw the most gentle person beyond these thick wall" Namiko poked his chest and smiled. "Shizuo, you had these strength for a purpose, its to protect those people who are important to you.. not to use these to your temper tantrums but I have considered that a long time ago.. " she sighed and nodded trying to remember what she was going to say. "you have us.. your family and we love you, and accepted you"

"why?"

"what do you mean why, because you are my son! Every mother loves her child…oh your father Is here!" Namiko smiled before she headed to greet the man.

"not all of them though" he whispered and followed, he was met by Kichirou Heiwajima who was a splitting image of Shizuo if his brunette hair would be bleached blond they would really be confusing in one glance, though the hard work and years of experience was already visible on his face he smiled as he patted Shizuo on the shoulder.

"you are on the same height as me now, that's great"
this is weird, too weird, Izaya thought to himself as he looked at the Heiwajima made their way to the living room, Namiko started to help her husband on getting the coat off. "something is wrong" he murmured to himself, why aren't they sparing him nasty glances? Why are they smiling at him. He hated it, not knowing what was happening or what would happen next.

" what are you standing there Shizuo?" Kichirou asked as he sat on the sofa ruminating on something in his bag. "right I got something for you" pulling out a book in his bag he handed it to the blonde who just stared at the book like it was a foreign object

"a book? you are giving me a book?" he wanted to laugh, really wanted to laugh so badly, they wanted to give the protozoan a book?! as if he would read something like this!

"well you asked for that last month if I remember, I happen to see it and bought it"

"seriously I read a this books!" Izaya stared at the book in his hand, Oscar Wilde?! The idiot read this things! His thoughts broke as he heard a chuckle coming from Kichirou

"well shizuo, you like those books, ahh… where is the food?"

"oh im sorry! Im going to prepare now!" Namiko went past them as she headed to the kitchen and started to prepare.

"uh.. thanks." He muttered awkwardly as he placed the book in the table and went to help Namiko, suddenly his phone vibrated and he fetched it out seeing the number he grinned and held it on his ear.

"hello~"

"YOU DAMN FLEA! I TOLD YOU DON'T GO! YOU FUCKING BASTATRD IM GOING TO KILL YOU!" his own voice echoed in the speaker as he winced and held the phone far from his ear and placed it back as soon as the rant was over.

"that's not very polite Shizu-chan and here I thought you want me to come"

"why would I do that huh!"

Izaya sighed he can practically hear Shinra's voice on the background "zuo… can't breathe… sto.. im not slacking off!"

"Shizu-chan I didn't know you read Oscar Wilde books~ I must say im impressed" he smirked as he glance to the kitchen, Kiechirou already headed upstairs"

"how did?" Izaya snickered as he heard a thud and Shinra's choked gasps

"and I din't know Shizu-chan likes mentioning me to his mommy~ Oh I better go im going to see your butt naked baby pictures bye!"

"WAIT YOU LIT-" with a sigh izaya ended the call.

After the meal and dishes were prepared, they all sat in the dining table, kasuka arrived a few minutes to where they are about to start.

"the food is ready now lets eat!" Namiko announced and clapped her hands together as well as the men in the room as they all said "Itadakimasu"

"how was your day Kasuka?" she asked as she started to serve each plate some rice, Kasuka took his plate and nodded still with his unreadable expression.

"it was great, tiring but it was fine" Namiko nodded and took shizou's plate to put some rice which the blond snatched automatically.

"i..i could serve myself"

"eh? But I always do this everytime, you sure are acting weird" She said as she snatched the plate again and placed it back in front of Izaya. Izaya raised a brow the rice was too many, the dishes were good but most of them were sweet especially the cake lying beside him.

"how was work Shizuo?" suddenly Kiechirou's voice broke the silence as he started eating, Izaya blinked and then frowned a bit.

"fine, same as usual"

"how about that Orihara is he not bothering you?"

"erm.. not much this week" he raised a brow and continued eating, does his family really knows about me? suddenly a laughter made him snap his head as he saw Namiko messing Kasuka's hair as Kiechirou chuckled softly. Izaya stared at them why are they laughing? Am I spacing too much that I didn't hear their conversation? Snapping his head back to the food he glared at the fish on his plate as he listened to the voices of Shizuo's family, clenching his fork that it already bended without him noticing, his thoughts were jumbled and mashed, questions like, why are they so happy? Why are they so loud in dining table? Why does he feel uneasy? Why is it he feel so agree.. he looked back at the three on the table and then he realized. He's jealous…
without a word he stood up making the chair screech and everyone was looking at him, as he excused himself, "im.. going to bed, im tired" he didn't even looked back at the worried look thrown over his direction as he went upstairs then facing the hallway he cursed. "shit! Where is the damn idiots room?!" walking briskly he opened each room and inspects it, he ended up in the last room, where there was a balcony and book lying on the desk neatly placed, reading the titles he decided this was the brute's room judging by the extra clothes on the cabinet, he went straight to balcony and sighed as he leaned on the railings.

"why is it they love you so much" he murmured and flinched at the sudden calling of his name on the doorway, Namiko stood there and looked at him.

"Shizuo? are you alright?"

Izaya sighed and went back inside the room sitting on the edge of the bed and looked up at the woman.

"yeah im fine" Izaya's gaze slid down as Namiko sat beside him and flicked his ear quite strong that he jolt and covered his ear.

"what was that for?"

"that was for lying, you are not fine, I know you more than anyone else because I raised you, I am your mother therefore I know, is still about that thing?"

"that thing?"

"your strength… Shizuo, I don't really like repeating myself every time we have dinner together, everything will be fine" Namiko smiled as she pulled her son in a tight hug, stroking his blond hair, "I missed you" she murmured and izaya sighed nuzzling against the comforting action.

"can we stay like this a bit longer?"

"of course! Its very rare that you are cuddly, you never like me cuddling you cause you said you are already a grown man but I can still see you as a child with temper tantrums"
Izaya chuckled lightly and closed his eyes. "im sorry for ruining the dinner" he murmured and sighed as he felt the stokes on his golden hair.

"kasuka asked me what do I want since he will be getting paid, I asked for a bonsai"

"how about if I ask you what you want?"

"a fine china ware tea set"

"isn't that expensive the brute can't afford it"

"the brute?" Namiko raised her brow as Izaya bit his lips, shit he slipped he forgot he was Shizuo.

"I mean even brute can't afford that, my salary is just barely for me" he murmured. Shizu-chan's mom is weird he thought as Namiko chuckled.

"that's why I asked for it cause I know you won't afford it, means you don't have to give me anything and so does Kasuka.. I asked for bonsai cause I loveit and its not expensive I don't want him spending too much money, now go to sleep" Namiko chuckled again as she heard a groan and continued to stroke the blond tresses. Izaya on the other hand enjoyed the act, it was so comforting, not that he will admit it at the brute he definitely would not forget having dinner with his family. now his questions of why are now answered, the questions.. why aren't they giving me cold glances, why aren't they smiling at me, why aren't they ignoring him.. well the answer was simple.

they aren't my family

Shizu-chan is so lucky… I think my jealousy is turning into more hatred..
