Will you stay? - Shizaya

longerish chapter

The next day.

Izaya was stumbling around in one of the back alleys, he hadn't been able to get home last night, and so now he still stumbled, hopelessly lost.

"Hey, bro, isn't that the dude attacked our gang yesterday?" muttered someone.

"He's back for more."

"Maybe we should leave him alone. He did take out a huge portion of us."

"No, let's get e'm!"

"Yea!"

"Get e'm!!"

All the voices screamed, there must have been at least 30 of them, nothing Izaya couldn't handle on a normal today, but today wasn't normal.

Izaya was knocked down with one blow to the head from a pipe.

The gang beat him to a bloody pulp, kicks, punches, stabs, and beatings came down on the broker from all sides.

"I'm finishing this," snarled someone.

Izaya smiled, finally.

The gun was cocked, and instead of feeling the sweet release of death, he felt a searing pain in his stomach.

"He'll bleed out, but let him suffer-"

"Fine, let's book it before the cops show up!"

There was the sound of running feet.

Izaya went in and out of the blackness, and when he thought he was finally going to close his eyes for good he heard the sound of shoes tapping by the alley way.

No, don't come closer...you can't ... Izaya knew the sound of those footsteps. It was Shizuo-chan.

Shizuo started to look around the city at 06:00 for the flea, and was about to turn in at 14:34 when he smelt something.

Taking a huge breath into his nose he muttered, "I smell sh!t..." but Shizuo knew that the flea's scent had changed, it smelled something more of dusty wood.

He started walking along the back alley ways, the scent growing stronger.

Shizuo knew something was wrong with the flea. And it just wasn't his sisters' deaths that were plaguing the broker, it was something else. Shizuo knew that and wanted to figure it out. Shizuo had never seen the flea so out of order, so rash, so distant. Usually the sadistic little creep was sitting up on his thrown of information and watched us humans as if we were pawns. That was pis>ed Shizuo off so much, the fact Izaya acted like a god.

He was so lost in thought that he almost didn't notice the figure curled up at a dead-end alleyway. But he saw the bundle of black and froze in his tracks.

Izaya was curled into a small ball, and blood was pooled around him.

"I-Izaya...?" stuttered the BWWAB, he rushed towards the small body, but his feet skidded to stop when he heard Izaya cursing him, "Stay away from me...you can't come closer...just kill me now if you do...come closer. Otherwise...just...go...away. I...hate..." Izaya's voice cracked, and his shoulders started to shake.

Shizuo stood there, frozen with the fear. The fear of the situation. The fear he would mess up like he did so long ago. That him helping would only hurt other. I...I can't...I can't do this.

Shizuo looked down and his fists tightened, "Danm it, flea!" he snarled, he made long strides over to the shaking body, and picked him up bridle-style.

"No...stop...please," pleaded Izaya, he wanted to die, he could not deal with this world.

"Are you an idiot?" shouted Shizuo, "I'm the only one who is supposed to kill you!"

Izaya looked up at Shizuo with unfocused eyes and whispered, "I hate you."

Shizuo would've lied if he said that hadn't hurt him a bit.

"Just put me down, and then strangle me," continued the flea.

"Why are you talking like that?" sighed Shizuo.

Izaya's eyes started closing.

"NO! You can't go to sleep! Keep your eyes open," Shizuo snarled, then he took out his back up phone, the one he used incase you broke his other phone, and the phone before that.

"Hello! This is Shinra!" Shinra greeted happily.

"Send Celty, I found the flea, it's bad," Shizuo explained, as he ran towards the general direction of Shinra's house with Izaya in his arms.

"Sure, she's going out right now," Shinra replied, "So how does he look?"

"Like sh!t," Shizuo snarled, didn't he just say that?

"No, wounds, give me details on the wounds!" Shinra explained further.

"I really haven't took the time to look, but he's beaten pretty good," Shizuo glanced down at Izaya and shouted, "STAY AWAKE YOU FLEA!!!!"

Izaya's eyelids lifted slightly, but started fall down again. (This is all of us fans that want to watch the last episode of a season you have been binge watching all day,)

"Hurry up Celty!" Shizuo growled.

"She's almost there, now do what you're doing, he needs to stay awake until you get him to me," Shinra ordered, sounding like the underground doctor he was at work.

"I'm hanging up," Shizuo said, he snapped the phone shut and muttered to his passenger, "You can't fall asleep, or die on me. Awake, awake, awake, awake, awake, awake, awake..." he continued muttering 'awake' until he finally saw Celty.

She skidded to a halt, conjured a black helmet from the shadowy mist, and stuck it on Shizuo's head as he got on the bike. Still holding onto Izaya.

Celty didn't take the time to express the little bit of happiness she when they were together like this, even if it was a life or death situation. Instead she floored her bike, and they rushed towards Shinra's house.
