Butlers (Shizaya)

Butlers, Week Spent

Izaya's POV

I watch Shizu-chan leave to go get Shinra for me, but I feel like he wanted to tell me something. Though I did want to ask if he talked to my sisters, which he most likely did, since I'm pretty sure he was asking me about how I was feeling emotionally.

I had to somehow change the subject though, so it didn't get all depressing. It's never fun to talk about my past, that's the only reason I never said anything to anyone.

Shinra walks into the door and says, "How did you open up your wound?"

"Well... that's kind of a long story." I answer back.

"Doubt it." Shinra responds, then starts to check on my wound.

When he's done doing whatever he leaves and I just sit here thinking of what has happened. After awhile I just go to sleep thinking of what Shizu-chan wanted to say to me when he paused to think before answering when I asked, how work was going.

The next morning was the same as always Shinra walking in to check on me and we'd talk for awhile then he leaves. Nothing that special is really going on so I'll just pass the time by reading a few books.

I reach for a book not that far away from me, but remember that I don't have my glasses. Okay, so today is going to be a little bit more boring than I thought it would be.

Shizuo's POV

I wake up in my new room and greeted by the new butler, Ryuugamine. He looks just as nervous as when I first saw him.

"Um... so Mr. Heiwajima uh... I'll be your personal butler un-until the one that was originally supposed to be here is um... able to work again." Ryuugamine stutters.

"Okay, also you don't have to be so formal. We did used to work together." I say and smile.

"O-okay!" He replies happily then asks, "So do you need anything?"

"No, I'm fine, thank you."

He nods then leaves the room and after about five seconds when the door shuts he comes back in saying, "Also if you need me just call."

He then leaves bowing to me. It feels so weird like that, I guess I'm going to need to tell everyone not to do that to me.

I walk to the ballroom to get more lessons on dancing, because everything else I succeed in but that. While walking I think about the information I got from Kyohei last night...

"So the man talked easily after Erika and Walker started the interrogating, as usual. Though what we got..." Kyohei pauses then continues saying, "the one in charge was the Yaguri family. Their target wasn't Miss Varona like the intel that the master got said, it was the next head of the Orihara family."

I dwell on what Kyohei told me and try to understand why they were targeting Izaya. He wasn't doing anything wrong, of what I can see is that there is just something between the families that shouldn't be out in the open.

I get to the ballroom ready to have some of the longest classes of my life.

After the long ten hours with Miss Haruka I go to the clinic to visit with Izaya. I walk into his room and see him sitting there looking really bored.

He notices I came in and says, "Shizu-chan great you came!"

"Okay, what's going on? Why are you so cheerful?" I ask, I know for a fact Izaya would never act like this without a pretty good reason.

"I really need you to go get some books and my reading glasses from my room." He begs, which is a first.

"But you have a book right beside you and don't you carry your glasses with you?"

"One, my glasses broke when I fell from being shot. Two, I need more books this one will take me about an hour to read." Izaya explains with a very sassy tone.

"Okay, first, how about you stop your sass and second, why me?"

"You're the only person that's come to visit me."

"Oh... okay then. I'll bring you your things tomorrow morning before I go to work." I say giving in.

"Thanks!" Izaya says happy then asks, "So what's been going on since my injury?"

"Well, you already know about how much work I have, but Kyohei is helping out until you get back..."

In the end I spent an entire hour telling Izaya what's been going on, not mentioning the lessons I have to take, but that doesn't mean I haven't heard of what's going on around me.

After telling Izaya what's going on I get his room key then leave and go to his room to grab his things. Then I go to my new room and go to bed.

•€[]€[]€[]€[]€[]€[]€•

The next morning I get dressed then go down to the clinic and see Izaya still asleep. I set his stuff down then look over at him and think that he looks really cute.

I realize what I just thought and start to blush, but I mean it's true, he doesn't have that annoying smirk I always see and he's not saying any smart ass remarks.

I get closer to him and bend down over his face then kiss his forehead. I then think if we met in different situations would we act differently towards each other?

I push away the thought and leave going to my lessons.

Izaya's POV

I wake up seeing the stack of books on the counter beside me and my glasses and room key. Great now I don't have to be bored anymore, thanks Shizu-chan.

I start reading my books and then at almost the same time as yesterday Shizu-chan walks in to visit me. I'm really happy that he's doing that, I'm glad he cares.

And for the next few days I'm in the clinic to heal Shizu-chan always came in and we talked till at least ten o'clock every night. So reading and talking to Shizu-chan was, mostly Shizu-chan talking to me, made my greatest week spent so far in my life.
