Izaya chuckled and leaned back in his chair after Shizuo asked him why wasn't scared of him.
It would be a long day, and he knew it.
Izaya grinned at the the growl that was emitted from his lovely personification of violence. Not that it was threatening to him.
His chair was turned around again, but this time he was met with a more angered face, and Izaya tried his hardest not to laugh at his anger.
"I'm usually not scared of the ones I'm smarter than."
A vein in his forehead popped. Is this how Izaya wanted to play this game? Fine. He could play this game as well.
"Really? That's fine I guess. Doesn't make sense though."
"Hm? Why?"
Izaya was taken off guard by the sudden change in the brute. What was trying to pull?
"Oh well, if you aren't scared of the people you're smarter than, then it would make sense that you wouldn't want to waste time with me every day. Right?"
Izaya raised an incredulous eyebrow. Was Shizuo trying to get him to stop him coming to Ikebukuro? Was he really that stupid.
"It doesn't work like that."
"Sure it does."
"No."
"There's no reason for you to come to Ikebukuro everyday."
"Sure there is~! Work of course~!"
"There isn't a reason for you to bother me though."
Izaya grinned. The first normal conversation with his monster was going so well.
Wait his?
Never mind, this wasn't going well at all.
"Why of course there's a reason!"
Izaya was about to add a smart remark at the end, but he was cutoff.
"Why? Because you like me?"
...
Where the hell did he get that from?
Shizuo watched as Izaya tried to process what he had just said, a small grin coming onto his face.
If I had known saying that would cause such a reaction, I'd have done it in high school!
"So you do like me? Should have known, you do chase after me a lot. It's ok if you do, I don't really care."
"...Eh?"
Shizuo pet his hair and walked away, deciding to go to Russia Sushi and then go home. He pretty much evened out the score if Izaya's face was anything anything to go by.
This moment was priceless.
