I don't own Durarara
Warning: Yaoi (boyxboy). It's Izuo, but nothing sexual happens, so no need to cover the eyes ;)
Their eyes met from across the room, nervousness and insecurity from seeing each other after years of not evening knowing if the other was alive, causing them to break the contact.
Each was with their respective group, but the moment they saw each other, everyone else no longer accompanied their space.
It was just the two of them.
They wanted to talk to each other but thoughts of what the other might say caused them to stay awkwardly where they stood.
No longer able to ignore the presence of the other, Izaya excused himself from his group of coworkers and turned to walk to where he was.
Shizuo, noticing Izaya's movement from the corner of his eye, stood straighter as the beer on his hand began to creak from his harsh grip.
"Izaya!" Shizuo heard his friend Shinra blurt out as he saw the brunette making it to their table.
"Shinra." the other said once he was in front of their table.
The eccentric doctor pouted at the short greeting.
"What's with the lame greeting? What happened to the ever so cheerful Izaya?"
Without really thinking, Shizuo let out a snort thinking that Izaya's behavior was never cheerful just annoying, but regret it when both brunettes turned to look at him. The weight of those red eyes upon him causing him to turn and begin talking to his silent brother.
Luckily for him Shinra began to talk again.
"Anyway, how long has it been since we have seen each other? Two.. Three years?"
"Four." Izaya answered not really wanting to catch up with his old friend, but wanting the attention of the one who wasn't giving him any.
"Wow four, really!? Well how have you been?"
He shrugged and instead of answering he asked the one question he use to ask so the other would leave him alone back when they where in high school.
"How are you and Celty?"
"Oh you don't know..." it worked exactly as he thought it would, Shinra began to talk nonstop about his success in finally seducing the older woman.
His gaze once more landing on the blond who was having a one-sided conversation with his brother.
Shizuo felt the gaze and tried his best to ignore it.
"Brother" a monotone voice broke the conflict in his mind.
"Wha-" he began but was intercepted.
"Your beer," was his brother only response. Looking down he noticed that he broke the bottle enough to leak, but not enough to shatter it and and cause himself harm. He sighed as he reached for a napkin and began to clean the mess, still aware of the eyes on him.
"You haven't changed one bit Shizu-chan," the ruby eyed male that use to be his world said, voice dripping with amusement.
Izaya watched as the blond, that use to be only his, turned to him. Those honey eyes briefly meeting his own ruby ones and in that glimpse he was able to read every emotion.
The blonde really hadn't changed.
"The same can be said about you I-z-a-y-a" it was said bitterly. Izaya unintentionally flinched at the tone knowing that the blond had not forgiven him.
Shizuo noticed the flinch, briefly regretting his tone, but telling himself that the other had it coming. Silence befell them, the only noise was those of the others talking and no longer paying any attention to them any longer.
Once again they were consumed into their own little world, both wanting to speak to the other, but unable because of different reasons.
Shizuo still feeling betrayal from what happened in the past and Izaya, for the first time in his life, unable to articulate the reason for his "betrayal".
For once Izaya was not the one to start their conversation.
"What do you want Izaya?" he heard the blond whisper softly. So he answered the way he would usually answer, now and in the past.
"What makes you think want anything? And from you at that?"
I guess I haven't changed either
Izaya thought, as the blond abruptly stood announcing his departure, and regretted that he answered the way he did.
He knew it. The brunette was the same as he was in the past and Shizuo hated that he briefly let himself hope.
For what?
A make-up?
An explanation that he never got?
Closure?
He didn't know, but what he did know was that if he didn't leave something would happen that he would.
Putting on his coat, Shizuo left the bar they had all been in and was about to call a cab when the one person he wanted to get away from caught his wrist.
"Shizuo" the brunette said, causing him to freeze at the name the other uttered. Memories of the past flooding back into his mind and he harshly pulled his hand away from Izaya's hold, the way he said his name made him remember feelings he had tried to push down.
He began to walk away in the wrong direction, not caring since he just wanted to get away and not just from Izaya, but from his emotions as well.
Izaya followed.
"Shiz-" he began, but the blond interrupted, quickly turning around causing him to stop abruptly as to not crash into him. Izaya stared at the fuming blond whose hands were balled into fists on his sides.
"Don't call me that," the blond sounding both angry and oddly tired.
"Then what should I call you?... Shizu-chan? Because if I remember correctly you didn't like that either."
"Yeah, well if I remember correctly you were the one who left." the blond retorted, leaving him speechless.
Shizuo watched as Izaya stared, his usual confident mask dropped, leaving nothing but the true Izaya he had not seen in four years.
"I know ...and I'm sorry," the brunette whispered. Shizuo looked in shock not believing that the other male apologized, not even in the past when they had lover quarrels did the Izaya ever admit he was wrong.
Still he needed something more, a reason.
It didn't have to be a big reason, just a little reason about why he should allow him back into his life, because he knew that this was what was going on. He knew that the brunette had walked to his table with this goal, just like he knew that Izaya knew why he had asked him that question; they wanted to be with each other again.
So he scoffed and then asked Izaya, "Why should I believe you?"
Izaya was taken a back, he had expected another angry respond, but was given a chance. A second chance that he had hoped to get, but to afraid to ever try to go for before today, from the moment he realized his mistake.
He walked to blond who stood there, waiting for what he was going to do next, and once he was in front of his blond he grabbed the back of his head and brought their lips together. It stayed simple for a while, lips just moving in sync, hoping that Shizuo got his message.
Still he wanted more, before they knew it tongues clashed together and heat began to rise.
Somehow they ended up against a wall, with Shizuo back against the wall and Izaya holding him there.
Without a warning Shizuo pushed him away, much gentler since he was able to control his strength, and Izaya noticed the appealing blush adoring his face.
He wanted more.
Shizuo could tell he wanted more and he gave him a toothy grin before pushing himself away from the wall and pulling his phone out.
Shizuo called for a cab, then turned back to look at the brunette with a smirk. The brunette still looked dazed and horny.
"Don't expect me to put out so quickly, flea." he said once his cab made it in front of him.
Izaya smirked as well, grabbing the cab's door before the blond could close it.
Shizuo looked at him confused and bit angrily, he wasn't lying about not putting out just yet.
Izaya moved closer to his ear and blew on it softly.
"Hmmm I like a challenge," he said before closing the door for his blond.
Waving a goodbye Izaya went back to the bar, turning to see the cab become smaller and smaller, before opening the door and meeting the with his colleagues once more.
Both knew that this second chance would lead them learn to love again.
Hello :) so sorry if this has a lot a mistakes it was just written now lol since I'm having some insomnia so my mind is off. Also I'm trying a new style of writing where it goes from Izaya's and Shizuo's pov without a break as well as going to some third person, something we were reading in class caused this style so sorry if it's sort wacky. This was inspired by the song Just give me a reason by Pink since it's been stuck in my head all day lol (got nothing to do with the actual lyrics though). There will be a continuation since I wanna write some Izuo smut.
Important!: I still have my poll up so please vote and thank you all for the support :).
