Bodyguard (completed)

Ch. 6

Izaya's pov

I lay down for ages, I look at the clock by my bedside which shows 1:30 am.
I've been up for almost two hours just lying there.

I sit up and hold my head in my hands. Yes, I feel so tired but I'm just too anxious to go to sleep. I don't want to have another nightmare ever again.

The sleeping tablets are definitely in effect but I'm so used to feeling so tired I hardly notice them. I'm just so frustrated.

" ughh" I groan on annoyance. I feel Shizuo shift next to me. " you're still up?" He asks.

" I can't sleep," I tell him. I get up and walk over to my bedroom door. I see Shizuo sit up and yawn. " where ya going?" He asks tiredly.

" I'm getting up, I can't sleep," I tell him. " Izaya you're not trying," he says.

I sigh and go to open the door before I can I feel strong hands grab my shoulders and pull me down, I fall with back on the bed and Shizuo looking over me.

" Shizuo!" I say in annoyance going to get up again, but before I can Shizuo gets up and walks over to the door.

" I'm gonna get you some more tablets wait here," he says walking to the kitchen.

Ugh seriously does he not understand that sleeping tablets don't work, I already took one, what's another one gonna do?!

He comes back with the packet and a glass of water. He pops one of the tablets out and puts the rest of them in the bedside table drawer.

" Here," he says handing me a tablet and the water. I sigh, " Shizuo these don't work," I say.

" They do work it's just that you're so use to feeling tired they might not have that strong of an effect. Just take the damn tablet" he says tiredly.

I sigh and take the tablet. I lay back down. " I'll stay awake until I know you're asleep," he says.

" um..why?" I ask.

" cause otherwise you'll get up and won't sleep again, and I need you to at least get 5 hours of sleep," he says tiredly.

I lie back down on my side and huff.
" I can get up if I want to...," I say to myself more than Shizuo.

I feel a strong arm wrap around my waist and I freak out. " w-what are you doing?!" I ask anxiously.

" this way if you get up I'll know about it, calm down and sleep," he says closing his eyes.

I try to push his arm off but to no avail. he just holds on tighter. " sleep" he says.

I sigh and settle down closing my eyes. The tablets are making it so my thoughts are shuffled, and before I know it I'm sleeping.

Timeskip to morning

I wake up and look around, I freak out at first but then I realize I'm in my bedroom,

It's like when you sleep over a friends and you wake up and forget where you are because you don't recognize the place, yeah.

I look over to the arm that's wrapped protectively around me. It feels nice to feel safe.

I also hate being comforted... and he also try's to kill me daily...so I try and move his arm, but he's just too strong.

Shizuo opens his eyes and looks at me. " it's only 8 am chill out" he says making me jump.

" Shizuo get off me" I demand. He holds tighter. Guess that means no.

" how skinny are you? I can wrap my whole arm around you and still be able to connect my arm with my own side"

I look down his arm which is as he said. I don't like where this is going.

" Whatever, I'm getting up now," I say I attempt to get up but Shizuo pushes me down again, "like seriously... I can feel your ribs..." he says.

I starting to feel super uncomfortable, I look to my side and push Shizuo off me and walking over to my wardrobe. " u-uh I need to get changed"

Shizuo gets up and walks over to me looking in my wardrobe. I ignore him and pick out a long sleeve dark gray top with some black jeans.

" Why do you have so many long sleeve tops?" Shizuo asks still tired.

I can't tell him why exactly so I'll just tell him another reason why.

" I get cold easily," I say and I turn around to walk out. " I'm getting changed in the bathroom you can change in here," I say before leaving.

Shizuo POV

Izaya walks out and I think now is the best time. I know I shouldn't but something just feels off.

I look around not being too nosy but looking at anything that passes as 'on show'. I look behind the curtains and in the wardrobe as well as under the bed.

He definitely doesn't spend much time in here. There's dust behind the curtains and on the surfaces.

The bed doesn't look like it's used a lot and there's nothing under the bed.

one drawer, in particular, catches my eye, which stands out. It's semi-open but not enough to see inside.

I open it and peek inside, I find some bandages and some blades, why would he want these? They don't look like spare parts for his switchblade so I have no idea.

Saying that he does own a concerning amount of pocket knives and switchblades so they might be for that... I hope.

I get changed quickly and head to the kitchen. I put some pancake batter in a pan and start making breakfast. I hope he's not too suspicious of me for taking so long.
