I Forgive You (Shizuo x Izaya)

Chapter 3

Shinra looked down nervously at his desk as Shizuo glared at him from above.

"So just what exactly possessed you to introduce a louse like that to me, Shinra? He makes me angry!" The blonde clenched his teeth and slammed his hand on the desk, but with controlled force as to not break it.

Shinra's hands were shaking as he gathered himself and straightened his glasses. "H-He wanted to m-meet you!" He stuttered. "I-I just thought that y-you two would m-make good friends!" Shizuo's heated glare did not cease.

"That was kind of dumb, Shinra." The other boy said in a low voice. "After all, he pisses me off!" He turned away and sighed angrily.

Shinra shook his head sadly and finally stopped shaking. "Look, if I had known you'd have this sort of reaction towards him, I wouldn't have introduced him to you in the first place. I'm sorry, Shizuo."

Shizuo didn't turn to face the brunette, who watched him nervously. "I don't even know why but, just looking at him...there's just somethingabout him...and he makes me angry." His voice had seemed to calm down.

Shinra smiled smugly. "Well, I wouldn't know why that is. But he's not thatbad of a guy. Maybe you could try aga-"

"Like hell."

"But Shizuo I-"

"I said no."

A soft groan was heard as Shizuo turned around to face the disappointed teen, who had slumped his arms over the edge of his desk.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I can't stand him. I mean, he slashed my chest yesterday and left a scar! That's not exactly something that I find friendly."

Shinra didn't raise his head as he spoke. "But weren't you the one who threw a punch at him first?"

Shizuo rolled his eyes. "That's besides the point. He pissed me off! I had to wipe that annoying grin off his face!"

They were both silent. Shinra knew that Shizuo really wasn't making any sense of the situation. Yes, Izaya had a tendency to make others feel inferior to himself, and he did always have that smirk. But the fact that it made Shizuo attack him without warning... It was really very bothersome.

Shinra decided to leave the room and get some fresh air. He didn't want to be in the same room as the blonde while he vented his anger. He stood up.

"I'm going to go outside for a bit. See ya Shizuo." Shinra left the classroom and shut the door behind himself.

Shizuo let out a low growl.

"Idiot."

He was now left alone, sitting in his frustration.

Or so he thought.

"Seems to me that someone is upset about something..." The blonde turned at the sound of the voice, his eyes widening and his mouth forming an angry smile.

"It would appear that I was right!" The brunette jumped down from the window entrance. "Ne, Shizu-chan?"

Shizuo immediately felt his anger come rushing back as he stood up, fists out. That new nickname annoyed him to no end, and Izaya wouldn't stop using it.
Izaya put his hand into his pocket and pulled out his knife.

The brunette dodged a punch as Shizuo went for him again and again, only hitting air.
The next thing Shizuo knew, he had another cut, aside from what Izaya had given him on his chest the day before. This time, on his arm.

Izaya licked the edge of his switchblade and smirked as he tasted Shizuo's blood. "Hmm...so you want to play again, eh?" He flicked the blade and pointed it towards the other, who was breathing heavily.

"Get the hell away from me, you louse." Shizuo spoke through clenched teeth as his chest heaved. He only received a small laugh as a reply.

"But Shizu-chan is so...fun." Izaya smirked and twirled his blade in his hand, not taking his cool gaze off of the enraged teen in front of him.

That was all that Shizuo would take.

Izaya bolted out the door of the classroom, followed closely by chairs and desks being thrown his way, with a ridiculous smile. He evaded them with perfect precision, skipping and dodging one object after another in the halls. Good thing no one was around these hallways after school hours.

Not soon after, they had somehow made it to the heart of the city.

Shizuo stood in the center of the streets, a bent yield sign in his hands, his body trembling as he caught his breath. Izaya was opposite him, knife in his hand, exhaustion never seeming to be apparent on his part. That smirk seemed to have faded long ago, but his expression showed something more like boldness as he pointed his knife.

People watched with awe and caution at then unraveling event. They kept to the sides of the street to avoid the potential danger.

They knew about Shizuo Heiwajima. But lately, he had been showing even more of his destructive side, causing much more damage than he used to. The culprit was none other than a teenage boy with a knife, and dangerously sly intelligence.

Izaya wouldn't admit it, but he was feeling a bit tired. He decided to make a run for it.

"Heh." He smirked. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow Shizu-chan! Thanks for a fun time!"

With that, he bolted off in the opposite direction.

A low growl made it's way through Shizuo's chest.

"Ehhh?" He threw the sign down and took off after his rival.

"IZAAAYAAAA-KUUUUUN!"

He chased after him until he lost sight of the brunette. He looked down at the ground.

"...You got lucky this time."

He let out a frustrated sigh.

"I hate that bastard so much...that louse...that flea."

Shizuo turned around and walked out of the alleyway.
