Shizu-chan had been more worn out that he was ever before. He had bags under his eyes and his hair was messy too. Their end-term exams were around the corner, so Izaya basically understood his state, but when he heard about Shinra wanting to help him and that idiot Shizu-chan rejected him…
"This is how Shizuo works. He feels such guilt because of the damage he causes that he tries not to make peoples' lives even harder."
'What an idiot!' Izaya thought as he saw Shizu-chan's head meeting with the table just for it perking up in the next second. He was overworking himself and Izaya knew that a human body could not bear that – even if that body belonged to Shizu-chan.
"If you are so concerned about him, then you should help him out," Shinra suggested while they were having their lunch. Izaya did not pay full attention to what he had said. He was watching Shizu-chan who was sitting in the corner with his head in his books.
"Sorry, what did you say?" He had never seen Shinra behaving rude towards him, but then he rolled his eyes.
"I said you should help him out with some notes."
"Shinra, both of us know that Shizu-chan would throw my notes out of the window before even read one word from them. And if he would be in a bad mood, I would follow them."
"Well, at least you would fly in a beautiful angle."
As weeks passed by, Shizu-chan looked worse with every passing day. Izaya had no idea why, but he started feeling concerned. His first explanation was that he did not want to lose the person who could make his every day life interesting with his un-human personality and he wanted to believe that that was the only reason.
Once during lunchtime he was walking through the courtyard under the cherry trees. As he was taking a corner, he spotted out blond hair with the familiar blue uniform.
He stopped above the sleeping teen. He looked really exhausted as he was sleeping with his back leaning against the tree behind him and the book in his lap. As he was leaning a little bit forward, he realized that Shizu-chan had a cherry petal on his nose. Izaya snickered. He took out his phone from his pocket and snapped a picture. It would be perfect for blackmailing.
Izaya knelt down before him and took it down from his nose. As he was pulling his hand back, he accidentally touched Shizuo's lips. A little blush appeared on Izaya's face – they were smoother than he had imagined them to be. Izaya frowned. Maybe his teen hormones took away his better judgment, but for one second he imagined how they would taste like. He shook his head. They were enemies after all and he did not understand his willingness of helping him either!
When he pulled his hand away, Shizuo's head followed it – as if he was leaning in his touch. Izaya breathed in and closed his eyes. He knew that maybe his next step would be the worst mistake of his life. As the cherry blossoms were falling around them Izaya Orihara leant forwards and kissed Shizuo Heiwajima on his lips.
The next scene when he jumped up and sprinted away like a little girl was a completely other story – though he had to admit that Shizu-chan was incredibly cue when he was sleeping.
