liar (shizaya)

Chapter 9: Dancing with death

(A/N: Hope you guys are enjoying the story)

"Glad to see you have woken up, Izaya!"

Izaya looked up at him, the guy who wore that stupid, goofy grin.

"How long was I sleeping?" He groaned out.

"Um, About 1 day."

His eyes widened, "What?!"

Shinra nodded, "Anyways, what happened to you? You look horrible. Celty told me you threw up before she took you over here. Has everything been alright?"

He nodded as he stared at the ceiling, "Yeah. Everything is fine, no need to worry about it."

"Izaya. Cant you tell me the truth already? You cant tell me youre fine while you look like you havent slept in days!"

"My jobs have been tough lately." He lied.

"Dammit, Izaya! What is so wrong with telling the truth?"

"Its none of your business."

Shinra sighed, deciding to give up.

"Well, thanks for everything. Ill get going-"

"Rest a bit before you head back."

"I think I rested plenty, but I wont take down your offer. Do you mind bringing me a glass of water? My mouth feels dry."

Shinra nodded, "Ill be right back."

As Shinra left to go get Izayas glass of water, he saw a guest on the couch talking with Celty.

"Oh hey Shizuo!"

"The flea is here right?"

Shinra nodded as he poured water into a glass cup, "Yup. You're not planning to kill him, right?"

"I dont think you want your place trashed."

Shinra smiled, "Do you mind taking this to him then?"

Shizuo grabbed the glass of water and took it to the guest room, where Izaya was.

"Here, flea."

Izaya took it then drank it quickly.

"Ah, so refreshing! And whats with the kind act all of a sudden?"

"Kind act? I still hate you more than anything, but I promised Shinra that I wont break anything or kill you. Also, you look terrible."

"Do I really look that bad?"

"You just look dead."

Celty walked in the room, typing on her PDA, [What was up with you last night?]

Last night was a blur to Izaya, which he figured was the drug.

"I just didnt feel well." He lied.

[Whatever you say, Izaya.]

She left the room, leaving the two alone again.

As soon as Celty left and closed the door, Shizuo spoke up.

"The other day, what did you mean by I make you feel wierd?"

Izayas eyes widened. He didnt think the brute would actually remember his words.

"Huh? I dont recall saying that." He played it off.

"Well then try to remember!"

"I dont know!"

"Yes you do, dumb flea!"

"Why dont you figure out yourself!"

Izaya got up and put on his jacket, leaving the room.

He walked out the door, ignoring Shinra yelling out for him.

"Shizuo! What did you do?"

Shizuo walked out the room where Izaya was and sat down in the living room, where Celty and Shinra were sitting.

"Shinra, what does it mean when someone says 'you make me feel wierd'?"

Shinra looked at Shizuo, raising an eyebrow.

"Who said that to you?"

"Izaya."

Shinra looked at him suprised, then smiled.

"Well, that basically means he likes you."

1 month

It was a one time thing, he said.

One last time, he said.

I wont do it again, he said.

And here he was injecting the deadly needles into his veins.

They were irresistible.

Who would've thought Izaya Orihara, the infamous info broker, would turn out to be a drug addict?

He did it almost everyday. The more he grew onto it, the more he grew depressed.

But he didnt care. The drug helped him with it.

Or so he thought.

As Izaya injected more of the needles, he felt like the amount he injected wasnt enough.

He wanted more.

"More wont hurt.", It said.

Following the voice, he prepared some more, injecting them into his veins.

It felt good until minutes passed.

And something felt off.

His skin was beginning to burn and itch way too much.

His life was flashing before his eyes.

Izaya Orihara accidentally overdosed.

Izaya started to panic. He didnt want to die. At least not like this.

Even in his drug state, he was able to call for help.

"Hello? Shinra Kishaniti on the line!"

"H-Help!"

"Who is this?"

"Its I-Izaya."

"Oh hey Izaya how-"

"C-Come to m-my-!"

"Izaya?"

"Izaya!"

"In the end, you were more human than you thought."
