Days dragged by like this, always like this, as if these days had no choice of what might happen or not happen. As these days went by Kida's condition got better day by day-hour by hour-minute by minute….Shizuo knew he should be happy for the recovering blonde,but he simply couldn't be. That wasn't quite correct. He was happy for him-but he...well he guessed you could call it wanting a friend. He understood that as soon as Kida was good enough to walk he would out the door before Shizuo could say "Wait".But why in the world would he say that? What could possibly compel him to do so? A friend..Was that it…? He thought about it, Shizuo thought of Shinra(Who he had introduced to Kida to check on his wounds and make sure they were healing correctly)..But he couldn't exactly call him a friend. Well he could but couldn't, they weren't all that close. Yet at the same time they weren't all that spaced. They talked every now and then, and he would see him often due to his own injuries from crazy ass punks out to prove their name,or Izaya. He didn't consider that too be that close.

"Maybe i'm just over thinking this.."Shizuo said to himself.

He peeked over from his humble kitchen at Kida,Who was currently eating some simple ramen that Shizuo had made.

"Wonder how he feels about all this...I'd ask but I don't think he'd answer truthfully"

Currently Kida was thinking similarly to Shizuo's train of thought.

"Even after a couple days I can't believe that Shizuo Heiwajima-strongest man in Ikebukuro- took someone in..All I've ever seen or heard of him is his temper and insane strength..Could it be ..Could it be possible….."The train of thought that Kida was riding suddenly took a turn off it's track and with a diminishing "Boom!", crashed. He watched the horribly yellow noodles move around as he stirred them with his chopsticks."I felt like I was on to something…" His usually bright cheerful eyes narrowed as he gazed at the ramen. He didn't know what the noodles ever did to him but he felt the urge to glare at them.

"You know they won't eat themselves"

Kida looked over to Shizuo briefly and became slightly embarrassed that the older of the two had noticed that he wasn't eating. He let the taste of the slightly cold ramen to fill his mouth.

"I can probably head home soon...I wonder if me being here bothers Shizuo at all..I should go as soon as possible then.."He thought. He looked to Shizuo and opened his mouth to ask...but nothing came out. He shut his mouth. He didn't want to ask,yet he did. How strange.

"I'll give it another day."He nodded to himself,and finished the ramen letting the cold liquid travel down his throat.
