Just Let Me In... (Izaya Orihara X Reader)

Chapter 19: Confusion

Reader's POV

It's been a few months since everything that happened with Izaya and finding out about Selena. Even so, thoughts of Izaya still clouded my mind every time I had time to think or relax. Selena has been slowly getting worse and more depressed. It's the hardest thing to watch. Shizuo and I have been constantly checking on her and helping out with things that have become too hard for her to do on her own. I haven't seen Izaya since that day. I'm not sure Shizuo has either. If he had, then he didn't tell me. Yet, I wouldn't expect him to. Currently, I was walking back home from Selena's. Lately, it's as if I have been there more than home. As I walked, I couldn't help but to think about Izaya. I kept wondering why I cared so much. How I went from completely despising him, to caring about him this much, even when he broke my heart in such an uncaring way. He played me, and I fell for it. I feel broken, because of him, yet I still want to be next to him. I missed holding his hand... his hugs... his kisses... Even though I knew it was all meaningless to him, part of me still hoped he felt the same way I did whenever we kissed. Although, it's impossible. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice a certain couple walking my way. Lucas and Kami... Of all times... I sighed and accepted my fate. Of course, they stopped in front of me. "(Y/N)! How are you? Where's Derrin?" Kami asked, as if we were still best friends and nothing ever happened. "Oh... I'm good... He's... He's somewhere, I guess..." I replied, trying to hide my annoyance. "Hm... Well, shouldn't you know where your boyfriend is?" Lucas asked. "He's not my boyfriend... Anyway, it's not like you have any room to talk... I never knew where you went all those times you walked out the door... Not that it matters now..." I said, rolling my eyes. Lucas looked away, while Kami gave a guilty look. "If he's not your boyfriend, then who is?" She questioned. What... the... actual... fuck... "What makes you assume that I have a boyfriend? Can I not be an independent woman?" I growled in anger. (A/N: This where you can see the relation between the Heiwajima twins). "That's right~... But, if you really must know who her boyfriend is... It's me~." Came a familiar voice from behind me. My eyes widened as Izaya's arm wrapped around my waist. "Oh... my God... Are you...? Izaya Orihara?... The most dangerous man in Ikebukuro?" Kami asked, fear lacing her voice. "Oh, look at that... I'm famous~..." Izaya replied, "Now, if you'll excuse us~..." I was still wide-eyed as Izaya walked away with me. Once the couple was out of sight, I pushed Izaya off me and glared at him. He laughed and faced me. "Oh, (Y/N)~... You never cease to amuse me~..." He sighed, smirking at me. "You're ridiculous... Acting like you never did anything." I growled. "Whatever do you mean~?" He teased, bopping my nose. "Oh, shut up! And, don't touch me! You're the one who broke my heart! I'm having enough to deal with already! Not that you care..." I yelled, laughing at the end. "I should just stop trying to make you understand." I continued to laugh, confusing Izaya for once. He raised his eyebrow at me. "Ya know what? You win, Izaya. I give up... You win..." I concluded, laughing still. Izaya was still shocked and confused. I gave him one last smile before turning around and walking away. "I'll see you around, Izaya~!" I called, waving. I was just ready to go home and rest. I have enough to worry about...

Izaya's POV

What?... For once I was stumped by her. She usually gets mad and defends herself in any way possible... Why would she just ignore and walk away?... Looks like there's more I need to learn about her...

I was hoping this chapter would be longer, but it's something...
Again, sorry for taking so long to update, but I think I'm better now...
