Day 3…Again:
After Shizuo managed to get free from being pinned to a tree yesterday, he trudged back home grumbling to himself. Stupid flea…
And today he had another date with that flea. He shivered in disgust at the thought.
He waited for Izaya on a park bench in his usual get up. His eyes roved over the crowd and his gaze froze when he spotted something.
In an alleyway which looked pretty abandoned, stood the informant who was being pestered by this cherry red haired guy. He looked a bit taller than the raven and had glasses and a psychotic grin.
Shizuo's eyes narrowed. "What the hell…?" he murmured.
The guy's clothes were ridiculous! He had a brownish vest and white dress shirt that looked like his own but he had a bright red jacket or shawl thing that draped over his arms and not his shoulders from the back. And as Shizuo walked closer, he could see the man's smile and his teeth were pointed like a shark's. His glasses also had skull glasses supports.
Yeah…not human.
"HEY!" he called to Izaya and the creeper loudly.
Both heads turned and Izaya's expression changed into one Shizuo didn't recognize.
"Who are you, you freak?" the informant's eyes widened and he couldn't hold back the fit of laughter that erupted from him.
He laughed and laughed, bending down and using his knees as support. Meanwhile the Cherry Man, as Shizuo was now going to call him, had a look of comic shock and sadness on his face at being insulted at their first meeting.
"Who are you calling a freak you bastard?" he called back irritated.
This ticked the blonde off and he growled deeply.
"Oooh a tough man!" the Cherry Man said.
"Shizu-chan, Grell. Grell, Shizu-chan," the raven introduced as he calmed himself down.
"Well hello Shizu-chan," Grell said.
"Hey! That's my nickname. Find your own you 'freak'," he said, making quotations around the word freak with his fingers.
"You wound me Izaya~!" he dramatically protested.
"Sounds familiar…" the raven rolled his eyes.
"It's Shizuo. Just Shizuo," the blonde clarified.
"Fine, fine," Grell sighed.
"Anyways flea, why can't you ditch him?"
The Cherry Man gasped. "Flea? Izaya is nothing of the sort!" Grell squished Izaya close in a hug.
Izaya pried himself from Grell. "Grell, listen to me carefully okay?" the raven said with a super innocent and scary as shit smile.
Grell's eyes widened and he gulped. "Y-yes?"
"If you tell Sebastian that I even saw Shizu-chan anytime of your pathetic life, I'll make it look like you attacked me, which, by the way, is like blinking for me, and William there two minutes away from here who is looking for you will have to punish you and you will end up with two useless scissors instead of your beautiful chainsaw and you will never see Sebastian again, I guarantee it." He explained all in one breath.
Grell sweat dropped.
"What are you? You're not a demon, Cherry Man." The debt collector said.
The raven grinned in amusement at the other nickname as Grell huffed in offense.
"Wait! This guy knows of that?"
"Yes he does. Now will you tell Sebastian?"
"N-no," he stuttered and he backed away slowly, bumping into the newly arrived William.
"Izaya."
"William."
There were short nods and William dragged the thrashing Shinigami away from the duo.
"What was he?" Shizuo asked after a moment of silence.
"Shinigami."
"Really? Him?"
"Tell me about it," the raven smirked.
"Right…so are you ready?"
"Yeah I would have been like ten minutes ago…" he sighs.
There was a nod in return and the ex-bartender finally noticed Izaya's attire.
The raven had on a red v-neck short sleeved shirt that showed his collarbones off with strings that criss crossed at the bottom of the V and no jacket. He wore midnight black skinny jeans and two small chains dangled from the side of his belt loop. His hair was silkier than normal, or so Shizuo thought, and from his heightened sense of smell he could make out the Strawberry Kiwi shampoo Izaya had used earlier today. His right wrist, now unbandaged, sported two thin leather straps.
Shizuo's breath caught in his throat for a second but he resumed breathing a moment later. There was no way he had just thought the flea looked beautiful. No way in Hell. Nope…
He stalked out of the alley with Izaya following briskly beside him.
"What are we doing?" he asked curiously.
"I was planning to take you to the fair that lasts just for this morning," he replied.
"Really?" the raven seemed a bit excited.
"Yeah."
Izaya's pace seemed to increase but when Shizuo said something, the informant denied it and said Shizuo had gotten slower.
As they reached, food booths lined the sides and small rides which were actually pretty fun were in the middle.
They joked and snacked and rode all the rides as Izaya genuinely laughed and had fun while Shizuo on the other hand was convincing himself inside that this was stupid and disgusting.
At around four pm in the evening, they parted ways, a kiss on the head from Shizuo as a goodbye.
The raven touched his forehead slightly after they separated to cease a weird tingling sensation.
Strange…
He arrived back at the Phantomhive vacation spot and relaxed along with the rest of the residents. They swam and Izaya ate some more.
They messed around and pranked and threw around friendly insults. This was his home, the informant chided in his head. This was.
After all the activity, Izaya ended up asleep on the picnic blanket, curled slightly with his hands supporting his head. His eyelashes fell softly against his face and Mey-Rin fawned silently and almost died while Finny and Bard contemplated whether or not he was really a guy or not.
Sebastian shooed the three servants and picked his brother up gently bridal style so his head was tucked comfortably against his right arm and against his chest.
The three watched the brothers closely and Sebastian let out a soft sigh and a light smile that said 'what am I ever going to do with you?'
Mey-Rin officially went into a comatose state while Finny and Bard froze after seeing Sebastian actually smile fondly at something.
Ciel was just at shocked but shrugged as he understood how fond he was of his own family.
The demon butler turned to the direction of the small house they all were currently residing in and walked off in that direction. As he got inside, he went up to the room they both shared for space reasons and tucked his younger brother in, making sure the blanket was curled around him just as he liked it.
He leaned down and kissed his brother's forehead and brushed his hair slightly. The raven made a small sound of protest when his hair was ruffled and the older demon chuckled slightly.
He silently guided himself to the door and shut the door gently, going back to tend to the dying Mey-Rin.
