He clung to Shizuo as he slammed into him. Apparently, the ladder was much closer than the informant had calculated, and he landed practically on top of Shizuo. The blonde cried out, causing a very uncharacteristic yelp to come out of Izaya.
Shizuo felt himself pull from the ladder a bit, and for a split second he thought they were going to fall. But his grip was secure, and he held Izaya tightly to his body. The flea had his head buried in his chest, and his fingernails dug into his shoulders and back as he clung for life.
The ex-blonde chuckled a bit, and used what strength he had left to lift Izaya a bit more, "Oi…use your legs." Izaya nodded and wrapped his legs around Shizuo's waist. He peeled himself away from Shizuo a bit so he could shift and wrap his arms around his neck.
Izaya felt his neck and face flaring as the embarrassment consumed him. Regardless of how humiliating this situation was, he was alive. And he was determined to get out. So he clung on and pulled out his cell phone, holding it out so Shizuo could see as they began their ascent upwards.
"You tell anyone about this…" Izaya mumbled into Shizuo's shoulder as he climbed. Shizuo chuckled and nodded, stopping at the nearest floor.
"Yeah, I know. I won't tell anyone. Don't worry." He locked his feet in the bars, and tugged at Izaya's arm that was hooked around his neck. "Let go and slide down so your feet are on the bars. Then you can hold me in place while I force the doors."
Izaya nodded, unwrapping his legs and slowly sliding his way down until his feet touched the ladder. He folded his arms around Shizuo and held onto the ladder, locking his feet into place. "Ok, ready."
Shizuo let go of the ladder and reached over. His fingertips brushed the edge of the door before he had almost lost balance and had to lean back toward the ladder. Taking a deep breath, he reached over again, pushing a bit with his foot to get more momentum. Izaya held him tight as Shizuo gripped the edge of the door. Using both hands, he struggled to make it budge, but soon managed to pull it.
Slowly but surely, the door was forced open; letting light stream into the shaft. It illuminated everything around them, and Shizuo felt a bit more strength in that. Using every ounce of energy he had left, he pulled the door and bent the metal structure, preventing it from closing.
"Sorry 'bout that."
"I don't care. Lets just lets get out." Izaya grunted as he fought to keep Shizuo in balance. The taller of the two let go of the fixated door and swung back to the ladder, panting a bit from lack of energy.
"Ok. Now we climb the ladder a bit and jump down into the opening. Easier than trying to jump up at it." Shizuo decided as he started to climb. Izaya followed him, hands trembling as adrenaline pumped through his veins. Now that he could see much better, he felt more confident. He could do this. He could make the jump easily.
"We're high enough. I can jump and make it." Izaya said confidently as he positioned himself on the ladder for a solid leap. Shizuo watched him meticulously, seeing how he bent his body and where he placed his feet. He had to copy Izaya perfectly, or else he could miss and fall. And this time, he could see there was nothing to grab if he fell. There was no false hopes.
Izaya licked his lips and crouched before springing off the ladder. Confidence flowed through him as he felt in control of his fate again. He cleared the edge, only his feet dangling over the edge as he scrambled into the hallway and away from the elevator shaft.
"Ahh, freedom!" he cried with relief as he laid on his back, panting as his heart raced. He swore that he would never ride an elevator again. Or at least…not for a few weeks. He'd rather take the stairs.
Shizuo, still hanging on the ladder, was starting to get doubts. He wasn't nearly as agile as Izaya. He started to believe that he wouldn't be able to make the tight jump to clear the edge.
He saw Izaya peek around the edge, with a positive smirk on his face, "Nervous?"
"Yeah."
Izaya crawled toward the edge and watched Shizuo for a moment. The expression on his face was clear as day: nervousness and determinedness all balled into one. With a smile, he held out his hands. "Don't worry, I'll catch you."
Shizuo nodded and grinned with assurance, forcing his body to copy the movement Izaya had made. Once he felt he was steady on the ladder, he pounced.
Most of his body made it through the hole. His shoulder nicked the edge of the door, causing him to slip back out a bit. But Izaya was true to his word, and grabbed onto Shizuo. He pulled on Shizuo, helping him crawl out until he was safely on solid ground.
Both collapsed onto their backs and burst out into nervous laughter. They laid there for a while until they caught their breath. Izaya rolled over onto his side and faced Shizuo, "I think we don't need to go for a walk today."
"Heh..hardly. I've gotten enough exercise today for a week." Shizuo agreed, chuckling as he got to his feet. "Come on, Psyche. Let's go back to your place."
Izaya glared at him, jumping to his feet. He stumbled a bit as his knees still shook. "What did you just call me?"
Shizuo grinned deviously, "Psyche. After all, Izaya wouldn't be so cuddly and cute in such a situation."
"Oh, and Shizuo somehow manages to remain calm in such a situation with someone like Izaya?" the informant sneered back, catching up with Shizuo as he headed for the stairwell.
"I don't know, you tell me."
Izaya shuffled past Shizuo, a playful smirk on his face as he bounded up the stairs, "Shut up, Tsu-chan."
