"My, my! If it isn't the beautiful female herself! What brings you here? Stargazing? Human observation? Or is it suicide?" a happy voice chirped. You stared blankly down from where you sat, lightly kicking your feet at the air in hopes to cure your boredom. "Ignoring me now? I'm hurt by your lack of ability to greet an old friend. I've been with you for a fairly long time." You let out an irritated sigh as you turned your head to the side, your eyes sending daggers to the red-eyed man.

"If you've got nothing better to do, then I suggest you leave before murder occurs on this roof," you threatened, clearly unhappy with the appearance of the man. He merely chuckled in reply as he began to approach you, one step at a time. His footsteps echoed eerily as he walked.

"Your greetings are as interesting as ever, Miss (Last Name). You never fail to keep me entertained!" he sang as he stopped right behind you, his crimson eyes staring down at you. The moonlight created a thin silver lining around him, complimenting his features well. As much as you wanted to move away, you really couldn't since you were already seated at the edge of the roof. A single reckless movement could really result in suicide; though, you didn't really mind either way.

"What do you want, Orihara?" you asked as you looked up at him, the motion causing slight tension in your neck. The informant smiled as his hand caught a lock of your hair, twirling it with his finger.

"Must you assume that I have a hidden intention every time we meet up?" he inquired, faking a pout. You narrowed your eyes in annoyance. "You're as stoic as always."

"And you're as obnoxious as always," you retorted, your voice laced with no emotion whatsoever.

"I'm hurt, (Nickname)!"

"I insist that you stay that way. If anything, your suffering enthralls me," you stated monotonously, the corners of your lips curled down slightly, barely visible to the human eye. It was his turn to sigh.

"You're a tough nut to crack." You closed your eyes and bent your neck forward to ease the pain in your neck. You turned to face Izaya when his melodious laugh filled the air. You watched as he twirled around happily. "But this is why you're so fascinating! This is why humans are interesting!" You furrowed your eyebrows together as he made his way towards you, a clear hop in his step. You were quickly pulled up and into his chest as an arm encircled your waist.

"Wha–?!"

"Waltz with me, (Nickname)!" With a glare, you kicked him away as you removed his arm from your waist. "My, you're shyer than I thought."

"You must've gone mental. You're acting like a lovesick high school student."

"Ah, don't get me wrong. I love all humans, but not you specifically," he reminded you.

"If that's all you have to say to me, I'll be taking my leave," you said, walking towards the exit of the roof and leaving the noiret with only himself as company. "Goodnight, Orihara."
