A quick recovery

A/N:- Thanks for the reviews. The plot bunnies have already let me know how his one will end. So onwards to the next chapter. Enjoy.

A lot happens when you're not at school. He got bits and pieces from Shinra and Kadota, but nothing from Izaya or Kasuka, so he didn't find out until things got really bad. He had spent weeks at home being bored out of his mind, sitting in front of the television, watching his father and future step mother making out and being lovey dovey.

Not that it stopped anything. He still woke up to Izaya touching him, only this time he couldn't do anything about it, short of snapping the flea's wrists. He couldn't get up and shove him in the closet, even though he would somehow climb out with ease. But it was better than it was. As of tomorrow he would be going to school on crutches. He would get to see how his lover was, but he would be open to his stalker's attacks as well.

Until he was better his father would be driving the three of them to school. After an awkward shower in the morning, Shizuo managed to hobble down the stairs, it was slow but he was getting there. "Hurry up, Shizu-chan." As expected the flea was in a teasing mood, swinging on the banister behind him. "So slow." The blond shook his head. "Shut it flea."

"Make me, don't fall." He tried moving as quick as possible, though he could feel Izaya moving closer, voice low in his ear. "Should I help carry you?" He flinch forwards, his right crutch slipping. "Shit!" The nuisance reached out and caught his arm. "So clumsy." Gritting his teeth, he grabbed his crutch, jabbing it into Izaya's foot. Taking his chance he made his way down to the kitchen.

"Morning dad." His father pulled out a chair, letting him sit down. "Kyouko is still asleep." Leaning his crutches against the table, he started eating the bowl of cereal, that was set in front of him. "Good morning Kichirou." Izaya smiled, at his father. "Morning Izaya. Breakfast?" Kasuka was already up, handing his empty bowl over. "Morning, nii-san." He nodded back, with a mouthful of cereal.

"I wanted to give these to you two." Shizuo swallowed, taking one of the boxes a picture of a phone on the box. "If anything happens at school, you call me straight away." The blond smiled, finishing the rest of his cereal. Feeling excited, he opened the box, taking out his new phone. "Careful, Shizu-chan. Don't break it." Glaring at the flea, he turned away, going through the box. "Nii-san, hand me your phone."

He watched as Kasuka put the tiny card in, switching it on, glancing at his own phone before typing. "There. You have my number and dads." The phone was snatched away. "I'll put mine in too, Shizu-chan." He wanted to take it back, but at the moment his father walked in. "You boys done yet?" Izaya handed the phone back with a smirk. "Ready."

All three of them entered the car, Izaya's hand brushing his ass as he climbed in. "Shizuo, its your first day, take it easy, if anything happens call me and I'll come and get you, or go to that principal of yours. Izaya, Kasuka. Keep an eye on him." It was a ridiculously short journey, making him feel bad for getting his dad up.

The flea jumped out first, holding the door open for him. "Need any help? Shizu-chan." He glanced over to see his father nod in approval at how helpful he was being. Damn him.. Climbing out, he rested on his crutches, waiting for Kasuka to get out. Closing the the door, he waved. "Bye dad." Raising his head, he looked up seeing the school building. If he had been given his phone before, he could have still kept in contact with everyone.

All his friends were waiting at the gate for him. "Welcome back, Shizuo." Shinra smiled, Kadota trying to keep Erika from hugging him. "How do you feel? Shizu-Shizu." The blond smiled. "Never though I'd say I'm glad to be back." They all matched his pace, letting him take his time. "You missed a lot. After you went to hospital, Iza Iza nearly got hurt." His eyes widened, glancing at Izaya. "Are you worried? Shizu-chan."

"Someone pushed him, it was amazing, he did all these weird flips and landed safely. Everyone in the school was amazed. Oh and the principal called an assembly, because someone popped his tires. Dotachin made me stay quiet about it." Kadota flushed looking away. "Things have been pretty hectic." Shizuo shook his head. "Don't worry about it. My dad gave me a phone this morning."

He froze as a hand reached into his trouser pocket and that definitely wasn't his phone, they were grabbing. "Got it." Who else would it be but Izaya. "Me first me first." His phone was passed around, everyone adding their numbers, before it was handed back. "I'll see you at lunch." As they entered the building everyone split their separate ways, Izaya following him.

Taking a deep breath, he opened his locker, seeing a red thorned rose, and two envelopes. Avoiding the rose, he opened the first. It was a joke. The card had sympathetic flowers on the front. Get well soon was written in red ink. I'd hate for anything else to happen to you. Sick bastard. Opening the smaller one, he found it was similar to the rest. Be careful who you lose. What the hell did that mean? "Let me see, Shizu-chan." Wordlessly, he handed them over, slamming his locker.

Izaya didn't stop him as he went the opposite direction of the classroom. Before he could make the distance within minutes, now it was taking too long. Everyone avoided him, but he could still hear the whispers behind his back. "That's Shizuo Heiwajima. He fell from the third floor." Trying to keep his calm, he made it to Tom's office, knocking on the door. "Come in." He jumped at the angry tone, pushing the door open.

"Tom-sensei?" The man's mood changed as soon as he saw him. "Shizuo. How are you feeling?" The blond smiled, letting his lover direct him to the chair. "I missed you." Leaning up he kissed him again and again. "So did I. Sorry about just then. Some brat has a vendetta against me." Shizuo said nothing, knowing it was because they were together. The curtains were drawn, the door locked. "Tom-sensei, I need you." Tom grinned, more than happy to oblige.

"Shit!" Shizuo struggled to get his pants back on, Tom helping him out. "Calm down, Shizuo." The blond took deep breaths. "Sorry." His lover just smiled . "I'll write you a note, so you can leave early for every lesson." The blond nodded. "Tom, I have a phone now." He handed it over, letting Tom put his number in. "Shizuo, do you want to come over next week?" He nodded, a smile on his face. "I'll text you. Get back to class." Taking his crutches and the note, he made his way to the door.

"Glad you could join us Shizuo. Everyone get in your pairs, Shizuo you're with Izaya." What? Glancing around he could see the tables had been pushed together. "Shizu-chan." Taking a seat, he glared at his new partner. "What's going on? Flea" Izaya grinned. "We've been put in pairs, like you can see. We're doing role playing. Do you know what that is? You can be the girl" Shit, why did he come back?

He had already had enough, ten minutes to the end of the lesson, he raised his hand, handing his teacher the note. "Izaya, go with him." Ugh. He left the classroom, Izaya beside him, deliberately moving slowly. "Where are we going?" Damn he wanted to kill him. "To the next class." The flea grinned. "We have ten minutes, I know something else we can do." Ignoring that suggestive gaze, he tried to move quicker. "Go to hell, flea."

Things had changed, instead of going to the roof, he followed his friends to the field, where they sat down under the trees. "After you fell from the third floor and Izaya got pushed off the roof, we started sitting here." Speaking of the annoying flea. He was nowhere to be seen. "If you're looking for Izaya, he doesn't have lunch with us any more, he gets in a black limo every lunch. Shizuo bit his lip, shaking his head. It wasn't his problem.

"Shizu-chan." Damn he thought that was the last of the flea. The bell would go in ten minutes, meaning he had to get to his next class. "Go away, flea." Izaya shook his head. "What if stalker-san gets you? Its dangerous for you protozoan." What did he have to do for him to go away. "Where'd you go anyway?"

"Aw, is Shizu-chan jealous?" Like hell he was. "No, I just wanted to know if I'll have peaceful lunchtimes from now on." The damn hand brushed his ass again. "I'm hurt. I was working." Having a part-time job wasn't allowed. "Good, I can rest easy then." He cursed as one of his crutches was knocked away, forcing him to lean on the banister. "Not quite protozoan. I just don't need to chase you any more."

Izaya moved closer, pressing against him, tongue against the shell of his ear. "You're already mine, Shizu-chan." The blond pulled away, glaring at the teen. "Like hell I am, get lost." The damn nuisance laughed. "Don't worry, Shizu-chan. I figured out what stalker-san's next move is. When it happens, you'll be begging me to fuck you. Give it up protozoan, you've lost." That look terrified him. "The bell is about to go, lets get to class." Snatching his crutch back, he turned away, face and ears red.

The rest of the lessons were boring, Izaya sitting behind him in every damn class, with the additional ten minutes on their own, where he got to tease and annoy him. He was glad when the final bell rang, just as he was climbing into his dad's car. "Shizuo, good day?" He wanted to lean against the window, but he was stuck between Kasuka and Izaya. "Yeah it was fine."

Shizuo felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, as he slowly made his way to his bedroom. Sitting on his bed, he flipped it open, one new message from Tom. How was your first day back? Throwing his crutches down, he lay back on the bed, replying to the message. "Shizu-chan you didn't wait for me. Oh? Did Tom give you his number?" Flipping the phone closed, he returned it to his pocket. "None of your business."

He blinked as the door was closed, Izaya moving closer. "Are we really going to have this conversation again?" The damn flea had that blade out, pointing it at his throat, the other hand moving under his school shirt. "Look, you're already hard." Shizuo glared at him, face heating up as it moved lower. "Cut it out. I can still hit you." His future step brother grinned. "You're starting to become predictable. You don't want to upset your daddy, do you?"

"This is why your stalker is winning. Ne, how does it make you feel? How long were you sleeping with Tom? Your stalker only intervened when I came into the picture, which means, they only see me as a threat. You're in love with me, Shizu-chan." No. no he wasn't. "Get off me, flea. I hate you." A knock at the door, forced them to break away. "Nii-san, dinner is done."

"Ah, Kasuka-kun. Shizu-chan will be down soon, he has something to take care of first." He watched as Izaya waved, following after his little brother. "Don't be too long, Shizu-chan." The door closed. "Fuck." Damn that nuisance, going on about love. Of course he didn't love him. He hated his guts. There was no way he loved him. It was impossible and stupid. The flea was just messing with him. There was no way in hell he loved him or could ever fall for him. Shit.
