((I like confusing people; AU! definitely; 2/2))

Save me

Mikado was running, he didn't have a reason, he could walk if he wanted but he felt like running and so he did, even though he wasn't the best runner in the world, actually he was quite bad at it, but he didn't need to, he ran at a low speed but the action remained the same

Now a boy sprinting through the streets wasn't exactly an odd occurrence, specially if you considered the direction he was heading in, but if you thought this to be normal you were wrong, because this was Mikado Ryugamine and his destination was one that normal people would have never taken unless they were desperate, then again he wasn't exactly normal and he was, in a way, desperate

The blue-eyed boy was a tad bit angry to say the least, but as odd as it might sound, this anger was not directed to the person who lived in this particular city , no, it was directed at someone whose location escaped his mind right now. It wasn't as if Mikado had started running first thing after hearing about Masaomi's departure, he might have wanted to know what happened with the blonde but he hadn't given up yet, he could figure it out on his own, he was sure, but then he had been invited by the informant and something broke. Not too long after he found himself accepting the offer and heading downstairs and then feeling like running, now here he was

He boarded the elevator and got down in the right floor, headed to the door, just before he could ring the bell the door opened revealing Yaguiri Namie, who glared at the boy, but a voice from inside told Mikado to step in and bid goodbye to the woman who gave Mikado another glare before leaving, he was now alone with Izaya Oihara

"I've been wondering about what you told me" Mikado said

"Oh?" asked an interested Izaya

"If I were to ask you, would you save me?" Mikado asked

He didn't need to specify, he knew the other would know what he meant, the smirk that formed on the informant's face proved him right

"Depends... do you want to be saved?" Izaya asked

He looked at him, blue meeting reddish-brown, a small smile appeared on the emperor's face, there was only one possible answer to such a question
