It's another normal and busy day in Ikebukuro, or at least it was until Izaya made an appearance in the city. He goes to the park and sits on one of the swings, waiting for Shizuo to find him. It's only a matter of time before Shizuo hunts him down and starts a fight. "What's taking him so long?" Izaya asked. Normally, Shizuo should have been there already and fighting with Izaya. "Maybe I should try calling him," Izaya mumbled to himself. He pulls out his phone and texts Shizuo, telling him that he's in the park. "That should do it," he tells himself, "he should be here in a few minutes."
An hour passes and Izaya is still alone in the park. He grows impatient and looks for Shizuo instead. He goes in front of Russia Sushi, hoping to find him there. Shizuo is there, hanging out with Simon. Izaya boldly walks towards him and asks, "Why are you here?" Shizuo looks at him with a face showing disinterest. Simon silently watches the two. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Izaya asks. "You shouldn't interrupt people who are talking to each other," Shizuo replies while going back to talking with Simon. Shizuo's words surprised Izaya.
"Don't ignore me!" Izaya shouts at him. Shizuo ignores him and talks with Simon, as if Izaya isn't there. "I came all the way here to Ikebukuro to see you," Izaya began, "and this is what I get?" Shizuo stops talking to Simon and faces Izaya. "Fine, what do you want?" Shizuo asks. "I'm bored," Izaya replies, "so fight with me." Shizuo stares at Izaya. Izaya starts to get excited and prepares for his long-awaited fight. Shizuo opens his mouth and says, "I'm not interested," and leaves. What he said surprised both Izaya and Simon. Instead of trying to kill Izaya, Shizuo leaves instead.
"Come back here!" Izaya shouts at Shizuo, but his words don't reach him. Shizuo keeps leaving until he's out of their line of sight. "What's gotten into him?" Izaya asks Simon. "He's sick and tired of fighting with you probably," Simon replies. Izaya immediately runs towards the direction where Shizuo left, hoping to find him. After minutes of running, he finally finds Shizuo walking in a dark empty alley. Shizuo's back is facing Izaya, it's the perfect opportunity for him to do a surprise attack. Without hesitation, Izaya lunges forward and kicks Shizuo's head. Shizuo falls down to the ground as Izaya laughs. "How's that?" Izaya asked, "do you want to fight me now?"
Shizuo gets back up and dusts off his bartender clothes. "That really hurt," he says with his back facing Izaya. Shizuo turns around and says, "Please be careful next time," with a face showing how uninterested he is in Izaya's request. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Izaya asks. "What are you talking about?" Shizuo replies. "Where's the easily angered Shizuo that I know?" Izaya asks, trying to get Shizuo to fight him. "I'm tired of fighting with you all the time," Shizuo replies. After he said that, Shizuo starts to continue walking ang leaves Izaya. Izaya immediately dashes forward and grabs Shizuo's shoulder. "Don't screw with me!" Izaya shouts. "Nothing good will come out of fighting with you," Shizuo says. "What about getting revenge for framing you?" Izaya asks. "The past is past," Shizuo replies as he walks aways and leaves Izaya in the dark and empty alley.
"No way," Izaya mumbles to himself. For some reason, he feels lonely. Shizuo has left him and Izaya is now alone. "I need to get him back," he mumbles to himself. The next day, Izaya tries to grab Shizuo's attention. He wants to anger Shizuo so that he can get his fight. He tries everything he can do. He spends the whole day around Shizuo, doing random things that usually frustrate him. In the end, Shizuo ultimately ignored Izaya and his attempts. "I need to try harder," he mumbles to himself.
Izaya returns to his place with a disappointed face. "I'm back," he says. "Welcome home," Namie greets him. Izaya lays down on his couch, tired because of what happened. "What's wrong?" Namie asks. "I need your help," he boldly asks Namie. "With what?" she asks. Izaya spends the next few minutes trying to explain what happened with Shizuo. "Do you want to go back to fighting with Shizuo?" Namie asks. "Yes," Izaya replies, "but I don't know how." Izaya covers his eyes with his arm, trying to hide his shame. "You need to try something new," Namie suggests, "you've been doing the same things to him over and over again." Izaya gets back up and looks at Namie. "What else can I do?" he asks. "Why don't we start by changing your appearance?" Namie says while smiling mischievously.
The next day, Izaya goes back to Ikebukuro. He stands in front of Shizuo, hoping that what Namie did will help him. Shizuo is in front of Russia Sushi with Simon. "Shizuo!" Izaya shouts. Both Simon and Shizuo look at Izaya, confused because of what Izaya is wearing. On top of Izaya's head is a huge pink ribbon. It is Namie's idea to use the ribbon to get Shizuo's attention. "Is he alright?" Simon asks Shizuo. "I think he's lost it," Shizuo replies. The two of them go back to talking with each other and ignore Izaya. The day ends with Izaya being ultimately ignored, again.
"It only got his attention for a few seconds," Izaya says, looking disappointed. "Then we need to change your appearance even more!" Namie says with determination. She grabs a box and opens it. Inside the box is something that Izaya can wear. "You're not going to make me wear that, right?" Izaya asks. "You will wear this," Namie replies as she pulls out the contents of the box. A small amount of blood flows down from her nose as she stares at what Izaya will be wearing.
The next day, Izaya finds Shizuo in front of Russia Sushi with Simon again. He boldly walks towards them with his new outfit while people stare at him. "Shizuo!" he shouts while blushing, feeling embarassed. Both Shizuo and Simon look at him. They are surprised with what Izaya is wearing. Shizuo stares at Izaya's blue and white maid outfit that seems to fit him well. "Don't stare too much, it's embarassing," Izaya says trying to cover his blushing face. "What the hell are you doing?" Shizuo asks, confused with Izaya's actions. "I'm trying to get you to notice me!" Izaya says while blushing heavily. Simon goes back inside Russia Sushi, not wanting to see what will happen next. "Now fight me!" Izaya shouts. He can feel the stares of many people around him. He musters up his courage and charges towards Shizuo. "Get away from me dammit!" Shizuo shouts as he tries to run away from Izaya.
They both run around Ikebukuro until several hours pass and the sun sets. The sky is filled with darkness as it is filled with stars. Somehow, the two ended up on top of a building. Izaya stands at the edge while Shizuo is in the middle. "What the hell do you want?" Shizuo asks, filled with sweat because of all the running. "I want you stop ignoring me!" Izaya replies. Tears fall from his eyes while his dress gets blown by the wind. His skirt gets lifted and Shizuo gets a glimpse of what's underneath. Izaya immediately pushes his hand down on his skirt. "Did you see?" Izaya asked, while embarrassed. "Why are you wearing stripes?" Shizuo asks, feeling disgusted. "Pervert!" Shizuo shouts while blushing!
The sky gets covered with dark clouds until none of the stars can be seen anymore. Izaya falls to his knees on the ground. "Why did you stop noticing me?" he asks while crying. "I wanted to stop fighting," Shizuo replies. "You didn't have to ignore me!" Izaya shouts. "Shut up," Shizuo complains, "you were getting really annoying." Izaya's head goes down and stares at the ground. "I was really hurt when you ignored me," Izaya says, wiping off his tears. Shizuo's heart suddenly skips a beat as he sees how cute Izaya is right now. Drops of water fall on Shizuo's head. It starts to rain and both of them get soaked.
Shizuo approaches the crying Izaya and takes off his vest. "Idiot," Shizuo says, "you didn't have to go that far." Shizuo blushes a little as he puts his vest around Izaya's head. "There's no way I can possible not notice you," he says. "Then why were you ignoring me?" Izaya asks. "I don't want to fight with you anymore," Shizuo replies, "can't we be friends just for once?"
Izaya gets up and faces Shizuo. His clothes are drenched because of the rain. "No," Izaya replies. He grabs Shizuo as tight as he can. "I didn't realize this back then, but I want us to be more than just friends," Izaya says while blushing heavily. His words surprised Shizuo. "Please be mine," Izaya begs while crying. The rain pours down on the two of them. Shizuo lifts his arms and wraps them around Izaya. Izaya smiles and says, "Thank you." "Shut up," Shizuo says while blushing, "it's not like I like you too or anything." Izaya pulls himself back and looks at Shizuo's face. Shizuo puts down his vest from Izaya's head like a groom removing a bride's veil. Izaya blushes, knowing what will happen next. Shizuo's face approaches Izaya's and make their lips touch. He can feels Izaya's soft lips on his. The rain pours down on the two as they kiss. "Take care of me," Izaya says. "I will," Shizuo replies.
