"Next please!"

The wonder and astonishment in Shizuo's eyes make them gleam. He feels some sort of strange satisfaction by knowing where the flea is and lets out a breath of relief. He continues to make eye contact with the red eyed male. Their eye contact remains permanent.

The author unwilligly pulls his eyes away from the tall blond and back to the shorter girl, "So, who should I make this out to?"

"Hmmmm..." The shorter girl whispers into the author's ear and he nods, "Of course! Here you go! Thank you for purchasing my book I really appreciate the support!"

The author looks back at the blond's retreating figure with one thought in his mind, 'Shizuo...what a nice name."

"Next please!"

'I finally dropper her off home.' As much as the man enjoyed spending time with Ena he really wanted to be alone and think.

'How had the flea become an author?'

'Since when did he write?'

He began to walk around a park he had wandered into and began to admire the scenery. Until, a man with bright red eyes caught his view and he found himself watching the man seated on the park bench looking at an upside down map. The situation itself seemed too comical for the blond and he had to hold himself from laughing. The man made his way to the author and said, "You're Akio Denzel right?"

The red eyed man looked up from the map and hesitantly replied with a smile, "Yup! Would you like a picture or something?"

Shizuo could automatically tell the man was annoyed. His fake smile could not trick him at all. The author scoffed as if noticing the situation, "Well, who wouldn't feel annoyed when everyone just follows you all day and gives you fake praises-!"

The red eyed man covered his mouth with his hands and soon apologized, "Sorry about that!"

Shizuo nodded and asked about the map he was holding, "You know your way around here?"

The author blushed and said, "I am a man you know! I can take care of myself!"

Shizuo noticed what the author truly meant by this, "Well then...I guess I'm just going to have to go and leave you here...all alone...in the dark...in a big city...where criminals roam the streets..."

The sentence made Akio shiver and he said, "Sorry about before...Can you please show me how to get to...this hotel!" The author pointed at a name written on a blank part of the map. He hummed and gently took the map out of the author's hands.

"It's a bit far. It's actually in Shinjuku on 78th and 9th but I bet you can make it there before the sun fades." Shizuo stole a glance at the red eyed man who seemed to be at a loss for words.

'Did he expect me to take him there?'

'This really isn't the flea?'

"Or I can take you and we can both make it there before sundown?" The author let out a smile and quickly nodded his head in gratitude.

The author typically hated depending on others, hence him sitting in the park looking at a map, yet it felt different with this man. The author couldn't control his emotions at all and felt sudden glee at the thought of walking together with the blond. It felt as if they had gone this way before. 'Do I know this man?'

Trying to play it cool, the author asks, "Oh! I never got your name! What is it?"

The blond man looked back as he answered and said, "Heiwajima Shizuo."

The name seemed familiar to Akio and he continued to mutter it under his breath, "Heiwajima Shizuo, Shizuo. Shizuo. Shzu-"

The blond seemed to notice the smaller man muttering his name and said, "Hm? What's wrong? You need anything?"

Akio's face turned as red as a tomato and he could help but begin to choke own words, "Oh! Sorry! It's just...I don't know. Your name sounds familiar. Have we met before?"
