"Hello! Sorry for such a long wait I was really sidetracked by tests and these past fews weeks have been quite the mess...well, I hope you enjoy this chapter! :)


"The feeling didn't leave. It had remained there, unsettling. He felt it brought his spirit down but didn't do anything about it and just gave up on drinking milk for a few days, deciding it to be a stomach virus.

One Week.

Two Weeks.

Three Weeks.

Four Weeks.

Five Weeks.

His life without the flea had taken place and worry no longer set in the back of his mind. It was now filled with nothing but emptiness as he yet again meandered the streets of Ikebukuro, definitely (not) wanting to have another encounter with the flea. He had tried to contact Mairu and Kururi but came to no such avail as they did not recognize him and brushed him off with saying they didn't have a brother. This had confused him but let it lay because the flea was such an asshole they probably didn't consider him family anyways.

He was going to go on his first date. You see, without Izaya around not many people knew about his strength and those who did knew better than to mess with him. Therefore, not as many people found him as intimidating as before. In fact, the blond had not gotten in a fight of the past few weeks and even meet a really kind woman. It was the same one as before, the one with the shining grey eyes and light blonde hair.

They were to meet today and watch one of Yuuhei's new movies, then they would go around for sushi and part, hopefully to reunite once again. They seemed to have many similarities like: being extremely awkward, loving strawberries, and most importantly never excluding anyone and most importantly their kindness. Even though Shizuo somewhat broke the line at the last one he truly does mean best when he talks to someone.

'The only one who really makes me angry is Izaya.'

Shizuo did not want her to get involved with Izaya. Maybe she didn't even know him and he honestly, didn't feel the need to tell her about the information broker just yet. 'Maybe some other time…' he thought.
