It was Izaya and Shizuo's day off, yet Shizuo wasn't here.
Izaya grumbled to himself but went to wash his face. He found a note on a table saying,
"I went out.''
Well, that's one thing I didn't know, huh. Do I look like 5 to him?
Being that no one was here, he decided to make it a day just for relaxing. After an hour, he got bored and decided to observe the humans of America.
******************************************************
With Shinra's limited English, Shizuo managed to buy the customized silver ring. He had reluctantly requested that 'Izaya♡' would be engraved, but it came out nicely.
It came in a durable navy blue box with a fancy font, yet Shizuo still dropped it.
He bent over to pick it up, and a stray cat from nowhere picked it up with its mouth and started running away.
Shizuo flew into a panic and chased it until the stray left it in a tree.
"Fucking cat!''
Considering his surroundings, it'd be too obvious if he pulled the tree out of the ground, so he simply decided to climb it.
This tree was huge was what he first noticed. It took him a while to get to the first branch, and he saw the box in view.
Shizuo reached for it and grabbed it, now falling. He wasn't that worried until he heard a cracking sound and realized he'd landed on his arm.
Being notorious, Shizuo had broken many things many times before, but he always went to the hospital just in case.
Shizuo looked at the box in his left hand and sighed.
************************************************
Izaya drowsily picked up his phone. Slowly, he became aware that Shizuo was in the hospital and the doctors did not understand his 'english'.
Izaya was thrown into a state of panic at first, but it was Shizuo.
Rushing to the hospital, Izaya didn't really care about his birthday.
In a matter of minutes, he got to Shizuo's room and noticed the cast on one of his arms.
"What happened? How did you get here, and why?''
The blonde scratched his head with his good arm and sighed.
"Stop spoiling the mood. I'll tell you later, but first...''
Shizuo held out the same box and smiled at Izaya, causing his eyes to light up.
"Happy Birthday.''
Izaya's eyes widened, and he took a step back in surprise. Within seconds he'd brought his hands to his mouth, quivering.
Shizuo looked at him, smirking.
"Hurry up and give me your hand already.''
Slowly, he placed his hand in front of the blonde.
After sliding the ring onto Izaya's ring finger, Shizuo leaned back and smiled in approval.
"T-Thank...you...''
He stayed silent for a moment and blurted,
"I have to run to the bathroom for a moment!''
Saying that, Izaya sprinted to a stall inside.
He breathed a sigh of relief and held up his hand to admire the ring.
"Shizu-chan...''
Then, bringing his hand to his chest, Izaya returned, determined.
He walked over firmly to the hospital bed and tightly hugged Shizuo.
Izaya's face was pink, and he was on the verge of tears.
"I...didn't know that getting something from someone you love would feel like this...so really...thank you, Shizu-chan.''
Shizuo surprisingly didn't say anything for a while, but he leaned towards Izaya's ear and said,
"You just told me you love me.''
