Izaya's sisters just died. He blames himself and becomes depressed, unable to deal with the strong emotions of guilt and grief he feels as he's never experienced them before.

Izaya purred, pressing himself up against Shizuo as the blonde bartender glared down at him. "Now what Shizu-chan? Are you going to kill me?" Izaya seemed amused at the prospect of death, eyes lighting up with malignant pleasure at the thought. Shizuo pulled back to look at him properly. "Hey," He said, voice softer than he'd intended, "You okay?"

The question startled Izaya and he struggled for a moment to find a reply. "What do you care?" He hissed, voice defensive and hostile. Shizuo reeled with shock, since when did Izaya show any emotions except malice and mocking amusement? Shizuo sighed, loosening his hold and letting Izaya slide to the ground.

Izaya looked up at him, eyes confused and a little wary but didn't question Shizuo's sudden change of mind, instead opting to get to his feet and take off in the opposite direction. "Hey," Shizuo called after him and Izaya paused for a moment, wondering what he wanted. Shizuo caught and held Izaya's gaze, amber eyes regarding crimson ones solemnly, "Take care of yourself, kay? If you're in trouble, come to me, I'll help you out."

Shizuo wasn't sure what had made him say that but he meant it. Izaya could tell he was sincere and instead of scoffing or sneering like he usually would he just inclined his head in a nod of acknowledgement. "Yeah, maybe," he replied before vanishing into the night.
