All But YouーShizaya (R18)

You'll never catch me

It was a perfectly normal morning for Mikado Ryugamine. After getting ready for school by quickly eating his breakfast, he left his house to go to the high school, innocently watching the cars pass by on the pavement.

-"Today the sky is grey, I heard they announced some rain for tonight.. "

Lost in thought as usual, he was surprised to hear quick and loud footsteps coming from the alleyway to his right.

He didn't have time to understand what was going on when two people appeared in front of him, continuing to run away at a staggering speed.

-"IIIZZAAYAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Shouted one of the two people, obviously very angry. Izaya was leading the race, trying to lose the man in a bartender's outfit who was chasing him with a garbage can on his shoulder.

-"Seriously－"

Surprised to see them bickering so early, the young high school student took out his phone to watch the daily city news.

-"It's only 7 am, they'll never get tired of all of this.."

He headed back to school, as if nothing had happened, just as this kind of event has become a routine since his arrival in Ikebukuro.

A few streets away, the employees at the back of the restaurants were in a hurry to close the doors and the gutter cats were hiding when the two furies approached, well used to the fact that they would rub everything in their path like a hurricane.

-"HAHAHA"

laughter reasoned through the dark streets of the city.

-"SHIZU CHAN REALLY SUCKS~!!!"

The black-haired boy ran as fast as he could by jumping over the few obstacles that hindered the streets, His pocket knife in his hand waiting for the best moment to wound the other.

It's always impressive to see. Izaya seems to dance in the air when he dodges the incongruous objects Shizuo throws at him. Everybody is watching without paying too much attention, not wanting to risk getting hurt.

-"IZAYAA!! COME HERE YOU DAMN FLEA!!!" he thought : (What's immature, "shizu chan really sucks"??? He acts like a child..) Which one really is the most mature? The one who provokes, or the one who reacts?

The blond shouted, out of breath but not discouraged. He doesn't intend to give up, he won't let him go, not this time! He is determined to scrape the brat he was chasing against the city's cobblestones.

After at least 30 min of cat and mouse play, Izaya had managed to bring his rival into a remote alley that led nowhere. He finally managed to lose him, both of them exhausted.

Shizuo finally stops to calm down a bit, having lost sight of the flea.

-(Damn it! Where did he go, where does he get all that energy?!)

He leaned against a wall to catch his breath, sure that the flea can't see him exhausted like that.

-"Next time I see him I'll kill him."

Izaya had taken refuge high up, having managed to climb over one of the roofs of the alley to hide.

-(Haaah- I don't know why, but I feel that he is more and more resistant..
I wonder which of us will die first~
If I go back down, I think exhaustion could be fateful for one of us)

He smiles, as if amused by the situation.

-(You're getting more and more interesting, Shizu chan. I'm going to leave you there for the moment, that's all for today. He looks as tired as I am, it would be better if he rests a bit.)
