Grand Exchange

Chapter 10

Izaya was lazily walking around the streets of Ikebukuro, Tom had given him a day off because they all collected the debts easily yesterday and the boss was quite pleased, well it was all simple for Izaya he basically knew every person they encountered on the job. A sigh escaped his lips as he sat on a park bench, he missed his old job, his office, his beloved chair and apartment, he also missed his bed it was comfy! Not that the brutes bed isn't, it's just that his bed is more fluffy and of course above it all he missed his body and he wondered if the brute is taking care of It because he will surely murder this body if that protozoan is eating a lot of sweets and he would get fat! With a sigh he looked up the sky and closed his eyes until his hand felt the small packet on his pants, digging his hand inside, he pulled out the small container with pills inside and stared at it. Damn Shinra he thought and clenched the container.

"I don't need this shit" he narrowed his stare at the familiar pills and its effects. He stopped taking this almost a year ago why did Shinra gave it back to him he still wondered, he was fine.

"im fine" he murmured and crushed the container along with its contents and just dropped it in the ground before standing and started walking away from the park.

"damn.. this flea" Shizuo growled as he stood in front of the full length mirror inside the informants room, he just happened to change his clothes when he passed the mirror and completely stop to stare at his reflection. His shirt was already thrown in the floor and he was only on his pants, Shizuo wondered how come he didn't notice that Izaya had a flawless skin? Oh right he always wear those long sleeve shirt and his stupid jacket, though Shizuo already liked the jacket now it really is comfy no wonder the flea always wear it. Rolling his eyes he looked back at the reflection again and started his observation. He looked at those red eyes staring back at him, his long lashes and small lips that always stretched into a huge smirk, the long and perfect neck that would be very tempting to mark and those slender waist and hips that would be very wonderful to mark as well and then down tho-

"WOAH! WOAH!"

Shizuo suddenly turned around and gripped his raven locks as he stared at the floor

"what the fuck was that!" he growled as he felt his cheeks burn at the dirty thoughts he was just thinking earlier. How come he came with that idea? Maybe because of the exchange, like when he can see the flea's past and hear his previous thoughts, yes that is reason enough.

what else is lacking on me?

why can't they accept me?

whats wrong with me?

Shizuo now gripped his head painfully the throbbing was back again and what was with that thought? Shizuo closed his eyes and tried to stay still hoping the pain would just go away if he won't move, its been a long time since he felt this pain on his body he can barely feel them but sometimes it was just nothing so the feeling of pain to him now was foreign. Closing his eyes he waited and waited biting his lips until the pain subsided , he needs to talk to shinra about this. Stalking towards the closet he pulled out a huge hoddie and put it on comfortable enough for the large clothing he then went downstairs and avoided the mirror.

"oh, Heiwajima-san you woke late" Namie said as she strolled to the office and dumped a stack of folders in her table.

"yeah, I had a terrible day yesterday, fucking people" Shizuo said as he went and sprawled in the couch his arms covered his eyes as he let out a deep sigh remembering his encounter with the flea's parents who turned out to be so bad, now maybe he knows why the flea was fucked up in the head.

"even though I knew you are not Izaya it is still strange to hear him cuss" the woman chuckled as she went to the kitchen to make some tea.

"he does, but with class" Shizuo remarked and smirked glanced at the woman who placed the cup of tea on the coffee table as she sat on the other chair flipping through the channel of the television. It had been like this since Namie found out, they kept it a secret to Izaya and they just relax and watched some TV and having some small talk.

"I never thought the flea would have a bad childhood" Shizuo commented absentmindedly as he stared at the ceiling unknown to him that he said it out loud.

"I can already tell that, he's pretty fucked up in the head not that I care" she rolled her eyes and sipped her tea eyes still glued at the TV. "as if he had been cut out from the fun things in the world and started to create his own little carnival by getting into people's nerves"

"mmmhmm…" he hummed in approval before continuing "who could blame him though" Shizuo breathed out and Namie raised her brow and glance at the lying male.

"Heiwajima-san… its seems to me that you are going soft on the bastard"
That hit a nerve, but not the angry nerve that he would always let go every time he heard some annoying complaints or bad mouthing his brother, this one is damn critical right hit.

"er.. no im not! Why would I go on being soft like that with the pesky flea"

"oh alright if you say so"

"its just… well I feel bad for him? Pity?" he raised a brow and looked at the woman who stood up as she heard the doorbell and glanced at Shizuo.

"sometimes pity leads into another feeling" she smiled and went to the door and opened it to see a blond on grey sweatshirt and jeans stood on the doorway. He smiled and was about to say something before shutting his mouth and tilted his head to the side.

"where is Izaya?"
Namie would have laughed, she really would and she was trying her best to contain her laughter, no matter who's body Izaya resides he would still be that bastard.

"he's inside" she stepped aside to let the blond in before she left the room, because it seems that she can sense they wanted to be alone. Izaya looked back at the door and smiled thankful enough that Namie could sense the atmosphere, Shizuo sat up and saw his own body walking towards his direction and he blinked.

"ah, Izaya.. what are you doing here?"

"Alas! It's MY apartment Shizu-chan I will come here as I please, don't be carried away that you owned the place ne?" he sat on the couch and leaned on it as he looked at his body up and down as if scanning if something is wrong.

"what?" Shizuo blinked and then glared at the other as he started to feel uncomfortable under the gaze.

"nothing, just making sure that you are taking care of my body" he said and leaned to grab his arm and rolled the sleeve of the huge hoddie and started to inspect it. "Nothing seems to be wrong" he said as he ran his hand up to his arm. Shizuo felt his hair stood as a shiver ran down his spine and he yanked his arm away and rolled the sleeve down.

"of course I do! God knows what you would do to my body if I didn't follow your instructions you pesky flea" he growled.

"good you know, because if you don't I will definitely castrate Shizu-chan's glory"

"you will fucking not" he leaned and grabbed the collar of the sweat shirt and glared at the other male who was smiling and laughing and it was disturbing because it was himself he was facing but then suddenly he couldn't help but wonder. How come Izaya can smile so much… Shizuo shook his head and let go of the collar and leaned back on the couch again.

"Shizu-chan so pissy~" he smirked and strolled towards the kitchen and Shizuo followed.

"flea why are you really here? I mean there must be a reason right?" Shizuo said as he leaned on the kitchen counter, looking at the other male who was running his hand on the counter tilting his head.

"mmmm… reasons, reasons…. Well.. I do have one" he glanced at Shizuo before grabbing the kitchen knife and pointed it to the other male, glaring as he gritted his teeth. "the reason why you went to see my parents when I said YOU CAN'T" he growled under his breath. Shizuo stayed still and blinked as he looked at himself, the glare was already making a hole on his face and now he didn't wonder why people fear him so much, his face looks scary.

"you even went to see my parents when I said you can't, we are on the same boat here so don't point that fucking knife on me" Shizuo growled and glared back and was about to go away but stopped as Izaya's foot was raised kicking the counter and making a small dent to block his way.

"im afraid we are not yet done talking here" Izaya hissed as he inched closer "did you like the treatment they gave you? What? do you feel pity? Because I know you did." Shizuo tried to get away but the grip on his neck was becoming tighter and the knife inching closer.

"I..Izaya if you go a..any further you might…kill your body!" Shizuo held on Izaya's wrist trying to pry it away, now he understood, this is what it felt like when being strangled by his enormous strength, this how Izaya always felt every time he was being caught, he can't count how many time he strangled the flea and he can't even count how many times he let him go.

"I don't really mind killing my body if it means killing you as well, my hatred towards you just intensified at least that… I would like to clear it, I just want to show you how you looked like when turning into a monster that who you really are" he snarled a malicious grin on his face as his hands tightened around his neck. Shizuo tried to pry away the hand that was on his neck but it didn't help especially when the searing headache came once again and now with a few images blurring his vision.

"Help… m..mom help…please.. i..it hurts"

Shizuo saw blood and heard footsteps which quickly vanished as he saw his own face again, and the precious air leaving his body he was about to close his eyes when he felt the grip on his throat loosen and he fell on the floor as well as Izaya who was sprawled on the floor unconscious. His cough tore out his throat violently as he took all of the sweet and precious air, taking much to recover to make his lungs work again.

"Shizuo are you ok?"

Shizuo looked up to see Shinra and a syringe on his hand, he didn't even notice the doctor went inside the apartment. He shook his head and looked up to shinra before grabbing his raven locks and yelled, the pain and the pounding on his head won't stop it was like someone was beating his head, grinding his brain.

"Shinra! G..-coughs- godamnit! Make this.. st..stop!" he growled and closed his eyes as another headache came now accompanied by some voices.

it..hurts make it stop.. m..mom?

mom.. please..
