A/N: I am so sorry about updating so late! I'm just so busy with this thing called school… It's a real pain… Anyways, I'd like to thank you guys for following/favoring this story and me! Btw, is Raijin, or Raira? I've been using Raira but…

DICLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DURARARA!


Summer vacation was starting in two weeks, and everyone in Raira was excited. Harada Yuka, a second-year, was also excited. Summer vacation meant three whole months of getting to know the one and only, Orihara Izaya. Yuka had a huge crush on Izaya, but was too afraid to admit it. So when Izaya was absent that day, she grew very worried. During the weekend, she couldn't sleep easily. In other words, she was a love-sick puppy. But her worry was washed away when he returned to school on Monday.

"Orihara-kun," she called as she bounded up to him. "Where you last Friday? Were you sick?"

"Oh Yuu-chan," Izaya cooed. "I had a small cold, but I'm all better now." He smiled down at her, making the brunette blush.

"Th- That's good to know," she stuttered. "You know, Orihara-kun… I've been meaning to ask you…"

"Ask me what?"

"Will it be okay if we hung out during the summer?"

Izaya laughed. "Of course! As long as you don't mind hanging out with, my other friends."

She looked up. "Oh I don't mind at all!"

"Then it's settled! Shall we head to lunch?"

The two of them went to the rooftop. At the sight of Izaya and Yuka, Shizuo frowned. "Who's this? And weren't you supposed to get Sora?"

"Sora-chan will be fine~" Izaya chimed. "And this is Yuka-chan, from my English class~"

Yuka felt a blush find its way on her face as she stepped forward and introduced herself. Kagari, being the bubbly girl she was, motioned for her to sit next to her. And the whole group engaged in a conversation. And as they talked, Izaya scooted closer to Yuka before placing his hand on top of hers.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Sora sat in a tree, watching the students as they ate lunch, made out, or fought. She had seen Izaya and Yuka together and didn't want to approach. She looked up to watch the sky. The clouds swirled around, making shapes in the pale blue sky. The wind blew, making the clouds move and change their shape. She thought that Izaya was like a cloud; always changing to match the mood. Letting out a sigh, the girl jumped down from the tree, scaring a couple who was in the middle of an intense lip-lock, before walking away to her next class.

Just keep moving…

To her dismay, Sora saw Izaya and Yuka in the hall. Izaya noticed her and tugged Yuka along with him. The first thing Sora noticed was there hands. They walked hand-in-hand like a couple. She remembered Izaya telling her that when she sees people holding hands, it means they are in a relationship; one step closer to love.

"Hello, Sora-chan~ Sorry I couldn't pick you up at lunch. Why didn't you show up anyways?" Izaya blabbered.

"…Didn't want to," Sora answered in a soft tone.

"Well, that's not very nice… Ah, have you met Yuu-chan?"

Yuuki bowed. "H-Hello, Akarui-san, I am Harada Yuka… Nice to meet you!"

Sora stared at the two, her blue eyes empty and emotionless. Her gaze was fixated on the two's interlocked hands. Wordlessly, she slipped around them and headed off to her next class. A disappointed Yuka stared after her, and Izaya frowned at her reaction.

"Does she not like me?" Yuka questioned worriedly.

Smirking again, Izaya squeezed her hand. "Oh, not at all, she's just PMSing!"

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Hey, Kyo-chan…" Sora spoke softly to the boy with the strange hat who sat next her.

Kyohei looked up and turned to her, startled for he was enjoying the book he was reading. "Yeah? What's up?"

She remained silent for a moment. Her eyes traveled up to the sky where she saw a bird. "If you were a bird, what would you do?"

"Well," he put his book down, "if I were a bird, I would try to find a way to be human. Birds have a tougher life."

"I would want to fly… Fly really high, to the sky, past the clouds…"

"And then you would fall and break a wing," came Shizuo's voice as he lightly smacked her head with a book.

"Ow…"

Shizuo took a seat next to her, looking to see her sketchbook. "Is that a bird? It looks like a flying lizard."

"Like you could do better," Kyohei teased.

"Hey, Shizu-chan?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you buy me juice?" Sora pointed towards one of the school's vending machines.

Instantly, the blonde replied, "No."

"Please?"

"No."

And then she flung into action. Sora grabbed his arm and forced him to look at her. She looked up at him with huge, pleading eyes as she pouted cutely. "Please, Shizu-tan?" Kyohei had called this type of pleading the "Cutesy Act." Of course, since this was Shizuo, he couldn't refuse the request. Looking away with a small blush, he patted her head before saying, "Fine…"

Kyohei smirked. And then, "Shizuo, you fell for it again."

"Shut up…" Shizuo muttered before getting up to get Sora juice. "You want the peach or the apple? There's even coconut, mango, and… Pineapple?"

"Peach…"

Clink.

Shizuo took out the can of juice and headed over to the two. He plopped down next to Sora before handing her her peach juice.

"Thank you…" she said softly before drinking greedily. Once she was finished, she set the can to the side, too lazy to throw it away. Shizuo, who was talking with Kyohei, felt something lean against him. Turning around, he blushed when he saw Sora leaning into his side.

"U-Uh… Sora…?"

"Hm?"

"Something wrong?"

She shook her head. "No… Just tired."

He sighed before slinging his arm around her loosely. "You haven't been hanging out with that sadistic son of a bitch lately… Why?"

"It's not nice to interrupt someone's time with their lover…"

"Is that so?"

"Besides… Shizu-chan is like my brother… So we need quality bonding time…"

Shizuo chuckled and relaxed. He ruffled her hair gently. "So what do you have in mind?"

She buried her face into his side. "I snuggle like this… And you carry me…"

"You two sound more like a couple than siblings if you do that…" Kyohei commented.

"Shut up, Kyo-chan…" Sora mumbled before drifting off to sleep. Seeing this, Shizuo couldn't stop the small smile that creped its way onto his face. He mused her hair once before muttering, "Sleep tight…"

Izaya watched them from the huge window in the school. A smirk was on his face as usual, but his eyes showed pure distaste. "We can't have that…" he muttered. "After all, Sora-chan is my toy, Shizu-chan."

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Free period was over and Sora still didn't wake up. Shizuo began to worry as he watched her sleep. She was mumbling stuff and seemed to be uncomfortable. In an attempt to calm her down, he moved his hand to smooth her hair. His fingers came in contact with her forehead, and he pulled back when he felt how hot she was. Kyohei looked over.

"What's wrong?" he questioned.

"She's burning up…" Shizuo muttered.

"Should we get Shinra?"

"No… I'll take her to the nurse," Shizuo stated as he picked her up bridal style. Sora snuggled into him, making the blonde boy blush. The sudden movement was enough to make Sora stir and wake up.

"Mm… Shizu-chan?" she mumbled sleepily.

"Yeah? What's up?"

"I don't feel so good… My head hurts and… and…." she began coughing.

"It's alright. Just try to get more sleep, okay?"

"M'kay…"

Shizuo walked past all the students who stared at him with disbelief. Apparently, no one imagined to see Heiwajima Shizuo cradle a girl in his arms without crushing her. Not to mention that the girl looked really sick.

"Shizu-chan… I feel funny…" Sora mumbled again. "The fairies keep flying in circles… It's making me dizzy…"

Damn, she's lost it, Shizuo thought. Her fever must be getting worse.

"Shizu-chan…" she whined, "Make them stop…" It didn't take long for her to start flailing around his arms as she continued to whimper and whine. "Shizu-chan…" she said over and over, her voice sounding like a baby when it's about to cry.

Shizuo himself didn't know how to handle the current situation. "Shh…" he said quietly, "Just go to sleep…"

"I don't want to…"

"Why not? You'll feel better…"

"Because when I wake up, Shizu-chan won't be there…"

And that made Shizuo's heart flutter. He stopped walking to look at her. Her blue eyes were half-lidded and hazed with fatigue. A small little blush covered her cheeks, showing that her fever was growing. Her breath came out in small huffs. But what surprised Shizuo the most was that in the corner of her blue orbs were small, crystal-clear tears. And immediately, Shizuo's gaze softened.

Damn, she's too cute…

"I'll be there… Okay? So don't cry and just sleep."

They reached the nurse's office and she concluded that Sora had a high fever and needed rest. She would check up on her later. Shizuo went to one of the beds and placed her on it. He waited for her to get comfortable before he pulled the blanket over her.

Only to mentally curse when she pushed it off.

"No…" Sora protested. "It's too hot…" She then proceeded to unbutton her blazer.

"Uh… Sora… What are you…?"

She slipped her blazer off and discarded it to the floor. She removed the little ribbon and tossed that too, before deciding to unbutton her blouse.

"Okay that's enough!" Shizuo reached forward and grabbed her wrists, only to blush when he saw her little pink bra. Shizuo shook his head, trying to rid his mind of any strange thoughts before looking at Sora in the eye. "You need to keep the blanket on or else you won't get better, understand?"

She nodded. And he let out a sigh of relief until, "But it's still hot so I'm gonna take my clothes off…"

"NO!"

"But it's hot!"

"At least button up your blouse and keep it on… I don't care about your ribbon or blazer. Just keep the damn blouse on."

"…Okay…" Thankfully, she began buttoning up before lying down. Shizuo pulled the blanket over her and tucked her in.

"Comfy?"

She nodded.

"Okay… I have to get to class, but I promise I'll be back before you wake up."

She nodded again. But when he turned to leave, she called out again. "Wait…"

He let out an exasperated sigh before turning back around. "Yes?"

"…No goodbye kiss?"

Shizuo's heart stopped and his face turned pink. He stared at her with disbelief before realizing that she wouldn't let him go if he didn't give her what she wanted. After a few moments of silence, Sora began to grow needy. "Please?" she said with that small sob.

Damn this kid… Why does she have to be so goddamn cute?

Shizuo swallowed a lump in his throat before walking over to her and sitting on the chair next to her bed. "Will you let me go and sleep if I do?"

She nodded. It was then that Shizuo realized it. She wanted him to be the caring, protective, loving big brother she never had. Her own brothers were just born assholes. And she needed someone to be her family. The only problem was that Shizuo didn't see her as his sister anymore. He wanted to hold her and kiss her like a lover would. But knowing that she only saw him as a brother made his heart sink just a little bit. Then again, Shizuo was determined to get her to love him. Not that he would admit that to anyone. Hell, he wouldn't even admit his love for her to himself. Nonetheless, he leaned down to place a small kiss on her forehead. Before he stood up, he ruffled her hair gently and then made his way to leave. But he was stopped when Sora's soft voice came and said,

"I love you, Shizu-nii…"

He left and stopped to lean against the wall of the hallway.

Shizu-nii… So you only see me as a brother, huh? Well I'll live with it… After all, you said that you love me… Even if it is in a sisterly way…

"Just remember that you have your big brother if you need anything…" Shizuo muttered before chuckling to himself. He liked it. He liked being her big brother. It meant that she loved him in some way.
