Err new Chapter, been awhile I guess. *hides back under a rock*
Chapter 6
Initially Izaya had not expected this, he had expected more from the blond monster then what he ultimately received. After his surprise attack on Shizu-chan from the shelf stationed against the wall that separated the living room from the kitchen, he sat on the coach looking back with an innocent challenge dancing in his luminescent gaze, like he had done nothing wrong and if the brute didn't agree he dared him to do something about it.
But after one of his usual threatening phrases was spat out in anger, something the raven was used to being aimed at him, albeit in human form and commonly followed by an impressive feet of strength, the towering man simply locked eyes with the tiny cat, the anger clearly painted on his face now fading away, leaving more of a defeated look.
This was rather odd, in all the years that Izaya had devoted his free time to poking an prodding at this mans nearly none existent anger control he had never observed the blond just calm down like that, especially when looking right at the source of his frustrations. Seriously the man had a tendency to loss it when inanimate objects annoyed him for what ever reason.
Izaya had been prepared to make a run for it, playing their usual little game, only in his much smaller form throughout the blonds small flat, Shizuo would have an even harder time catching him like this as he could fit in so many small spaces and the best part, the older man would only succeed in destroying his own property, the mere though left Izaya simply delighted. But instead the blond beast slowly and rather calmly walked over and sat on the coach next to him, sweeping the tiny stunned cat onto his lap.
"Heh, get rid of one flea and pick up another, What am I a pest magnet." He looked up at the blond as the words slipped quietly from the man lips, the words obviously muttered to him self rather then the tiny cat in his hands. Izaya tilted his head to the side giving his best Cheshire grin.
'You have no idea Shizu-chan.' he let out small mew, he knew the blond would not understand but talking had always made him feel more comfortable and in control even without words the small sound he could make took the edge off the anxiety he was feeling.
The raven kitten was startled when the blond lifted him up to his face, giving him his trade mark grin, that in Izaya's opinion was not unlike that of an axe murder before hacking apart a victim, If Shizuo was going to be so adamant with his so called hate of violence then he should really learn to fix that face of his, he wasn't being very convincing.
He briefly wondered if he had miss read the situation, that being caught was a huge mistake and now the enraged beasts powerful hands that were warped around his delicate body would crush his small bones and organs. The memory of how that felt made his stomach flip feeling ironically like his insides we trying to better position them selves in a vain attempt to stay inside in the event they were once again forced out of him, his ears flatten in discomfort at these thoughts. Izaya couldn't help the fear crawling up his throat for an experience he did not wish to relive, Cat or not with the amount of hate this man held for Izaya, being compared to his former self was more then likely a bad sign. The raven could feel his heart beating rapidly in his chest like his body was trying to circulate as much blood as it could before its death, like that would somehow help.
"I warned you ya know, but man your persistent and even the way you bounce around and take off after leaving a few cuts is similar to that guy." Izaya felt a chill crawl up his back, now he was regretting letting his guard down and not running right off the bat, whenever Shizuo had shown him that serial killer smile it was usually followed by several large projectiles. Sure he could never… well almost never, hit the smaller man but anyone else that got that look and weren't smart enough to high tail it out of there ended up well acquainted with a building and having every humans dream of flying come true, with a landing that put them in the hospital.
"Yer lucky little Flea, I don't usual forgive those that ruining a gift from my little brother."
Izaya's eyes widened at this statement. 'Forgive, did Shizu-chan just say he forgave me?'
Shizuo then moved the kitten closer to his face placing there forehead together reminiscent of what he did with Izaya on the street a few times before, only in this case the larger man was smiling softly at him. This expression was foreign to to him not only from the man he labelled as a monster but really he can't remember that last time anyone has ever looked at him like that and he wasn't sure he liked the odd way this position made him feel.
Please review, they make me update fast, they make me so happy I tend to go write a good chunk after reading them. X3
