Durarara Bridge

Chapter 7

(A/N): Hello everyone. It has been so, so long since I have been on here and since I have updated. Various life events and lifestyle changes brought me away from this site and focused my attention away from it. I apologize for the inconvenience that I brought to you all by not updating this book for all this time. A recent commenter actually brought me back into this story. I have already written the conclusion to this book on my phone, so I will be finishing this book as I promised. Please stay with me, as you read the adventures between Shizuo and (Y/N).

I grinned as I saw Shizuo appear in the opening in front of Russia Sushi. 

"Was that me?" Shizuo looked at the TV with shock as he watched. 

"Of course it was you!" I exclaimed with excitement.

"It's just...so weird. Seeing myself on TV as an animated person is so strange." He continued staring at the TV as he saw all of his friends depicted as animated characters. "Imagine if you were watching your life on TV, but as an anime. Wouldn't you find it a bit odd? It just feels like a camera has been following me this whole time but I didn't know until now."

"It would be odd, seeing yourself. I guess it's like we're spying on your life..." I started feeling guilty and I decided to verbalize my sympathy. "Ahh I feel bad now. Just thinking about the other characters I've been spying on..."

"I can't blame you though. I mean, I didn't even know I was animated."

"True. But I think that you're better than your animated self." I chuckled a bit. I hoped that it would alleviate the slight tension in the air. It seemed to work because Shizuo gave me a confused look.  

"What? What does that mean?" 

"I mean, you're a real person, and unlike those cosplayers, you're actually him. It's just cool, you know?"

"Thanks, I guess...?" I shrugged and plastered on a smile, to which he returned (slightly). 

The next scene showed Shizuo and Kasuka walking to the bakery as kids. I pointed at the screen.

"We were just there yesterday! Aw, you looked absolutely adorable as a child!" I said to Shizuo as I glanced at him. Shizuo got embarassed a bit and rolled his eyes.

"Isn't everyone cute as a kid?"

"Yeah but you're a different kind of cute!"

Shizuo muttered to himself, pink dusting his cheeks.

I smiled to myself. 'I think that's enough teasing for one day.'

IIIIZAAAYAAAAAAA!!

From the TV scream came a loud scream that would have been ear-piercing if not for the volume being at a moderate level. 

We turned our attention to the screen to see Izaya running away from the smoke surrounding Raijin High School. 

"Oh god. I remember that moment. That fleabag ruined graduation day, that little shit." 

"It sucks that you had to see him there." 

"Yeah. You sometimes have that one person who acts like a knife stuck at your side. No matter how much you pull at it,"

"it always stays there, annoying you, angering you." I finished the sentence for him, still looking at the TV. I paused the episode as I closed my eyes and sighed, nodding my head slowly. 

When I opened my eyes again, I focused my attention on Shizuo. His face expressed interest and shock at what I said. His wide eyes soon lowered and his lips curled into a slight smile, showing amusement.
