Thank you, Iggy phantomhive, for your review! I'm still up for ideas for future chapters or just a tasty review!
"Shizuo! What are you doing here with Izaya?" Celty typed up. "the flea needs a check-up. Where's Shinra?" he waited as she typed something and showed him the screen. "he's currently working on something in his lab... I can get him if you'd like..." he shook his head and looked at the quiet man in his arm who was somehow passed out in his hold. "it can wait but..." Celty saw what Shizuo was looking at and again, typed something on her phone.
"I see... You were wanting to know about the bruises. There is a history behind them but Shinra hasn't told me very much. If you like l, i could tell you what i know..." he hesitated for a second but nodded. Sure Izaya may have a few things in the past that he doesn't want drug up. Everybody does. But Shizuo's one and only rule was broken. And that kinda pissed him off.
He set Izaya on the couch and let him sleep soundly, sitting in a chair next to Celty.
"about a month ago, Izaya came in with a broken arm, collar bone, and bruises all over his torso. Shinra wasn't that panicked about it so i figured that he'd seen it before but it seemed odd." she stopped for a second, typing a new page. "it wasn't you who left them there and it wasn't the first time he'd come in with injuries like that. Usually when he comes in because of you, it's something small... But the last few times... It's been noticable that someone else has been giving him these injuries, and he's letting them do it by the darkness and placing of the bruises..." he rose an eyebrow. "what d'ya mean?" she showed him a new page.
"if he was trying to defend himself, then the bruises wouldn't be as black and there would be more than two or three on his arms... He's letting them injure him, Shizuo..." she slipped the phone back in her shirt sleeve as Izaya turned over in his sleep.
"and looking at his injuries this time, it's been worse here lately... He has at least four cracked or broken ribs, his leg is covered in bandages, and he has a bruise covering his entire right shoulder." He watched as she carefully removed his jacket and shirt, showing him the light bruising over several ribs and some gauze on his hip. He grimaced at the black and ugly bruise on his shoulder, suddenly feeling extremely guilty about all the times he noticed Izaya was in pain without his help and did nothing but make it worse.
"it wasn't your fault Shizuo..." he read. It still didn't help. He still felt the guilt sitting in his gut. "why..." he whispered, hanging his head between his shoulders. "why didn't you say something Izaya?" he looked up as Shinra walked in, looking surprised to see Shizuo in the same room as Izaya. "shinra, Izaya has some severe injuries but they're worse than before." Celty typed. "really?" he sighed and sat on his knees, inspecting the injured informant.
He stood up and crossed his arms. "three broken ribs and one may be cracked... I think his shoulder's broken too..." Shizuo flinched at the words and closed his eyes, trying to block out the guilt stabbing his heart.
"will he... Be okay...?" he asked warily. Shinra put a hand on his chin and looked at the sleeping figure on his couch. "if he gets fixed up well enough... He should be. But i want someone to look after him... He's come in with way too many of these injuries and if i know him, he'll just go back to work and get his shoulder screwed up even worse..." he said, looking at Shizuo. He seemed to understand what he was suggesting and glared at Shinra.
"no way am i letting that louse in my home!" he yelled. He quickly put his hands up in defense. "i-it would just be untill his shoulder is healed properly!" they both heard Izaya groan in pain. "and how long would that be?" Shizuo asked through his teeth, keeping his voice down as much as he could so he wouldn't wake Izaya.
"erm... A... Month maybe?" Shinra said, crouching down in preparation of what he knew was coming. "NO WAY IN HELL WILL I LET HIM STAY WITH ME THAT LONG!" he practically screamed, making the informant bolt awake.
"ahh Izaya! You're awake..." Shinra said, helping him up. "how could i when Shizu-chan is screaming his head off?" he mumbled, glaring at the blonde. "i was peacefully sleeping and you had to rudely wake me up like that." Shizuo glared back at the raven. "like hell you'll stay with me." he growled out. Izaya looked confused. "of course not. I would never live with a monster like you... And besides! Shizu-chan would probably suffocate me in my sleep if i did anyways..." he said, putting a hand to the side and trying not to let the pain from moving his arm show on his face.
"neither of you have a choice. Izaya, you're living with Shizuo untill your shoulder heals and there will not be an argument." Celty typed. She stood up and grabbed Shizuo's wrist with her black mist when he tried to leave. "let me go! I'm not living with that bastard!" he yelled, trying to yank himself from her grip. "Celty's right you two... You'll have to put your hatred for each other aside and put up with each other for a month. You can kill Izaya after he's better." Shinra said with his arms crossed. "and we have no say in this whatsoever?" Izaya calmly asked. Both shinra and Celty shook their heads. "fuck. I won't like it." Shizuo spat. "for once i actually agree with you." Izaya said, turning away from him with his arms crossed.
Myerh! I've got a pretty good awdea on how the story is gonna go... But i'm not going to make it too long... I'll try to make it around 5 or 6 chapters... Maybe...
