The flea catched a cold (a Shizaya story)

Choosing the wrong words

Hello, sorry that the update took so long, but to be honest I really didn't know how to continue the story at all. I hope you'll like the chapter though.

3 POV 

It's been around a week since Izaya was hugged by Shizuo while crying and some certain things had changed. The big surprise for the people in Ikebukuro was that the taller man stopped completely, to go on a rampage as soon as he saw the informant. To be exact he seemed happy to see him, while the shorter man only seemed annoyed when they met. Also to Izayas chagrin, Shizuo acted like burdock, when the raven had work. The informant had lost count of how many jobs the blonde had interfered with and how many information got lost because of that. Knowing that things couldn't continue like that the raven decided to call the other over, to talk about the issue at his place. Due to the fact that he didn't want to call him over at all, he thought about moving to another city, maybe Kyoto or Osaka, but he really enjoyed living in Tokyo, so he decided to go with another plan.

Izaya POV

It's been an hour since I told that protozoan to come over and he still hadn't arrived. For someone who made it his life task to hinder my job for the last week, he sure takes his time today. Just when I thought that while doing some work on my laptop, the doorbell rang. How come? Did the monster of Ikebukuro develope manners? I went to open the door and was surprised to see Shizu-chan not wearing his usual bartender outfit. It seemed like he'd kind of dressed up? Wearing black jeans, black sneakers, and a whine red shirt. I knew that it was better to just ignore that, so after opening the door, I just went back to the livingroom signaling him that he should follow. As I leaned against my desk Shizu-chan sat down on the sofa, as soon as he looked at me I began to talk. "Haaaa so Shizu-chan I hope you know, why I called you over?" First of all, I wanted to find out if he knew that he was acting annoying, or if he was totally unaware, not that that would change anything. He looked me straight in the eyes as he answered. "Of course I know, I waited the whole week for you to call me over..." The protozoan paused a moment, so I wanted to continue, but he did the too, so we talked at the same time. 
"Good then stop being so annoying!"
"to go on a date."
Hearing that my mind went blank for a moment. WFT? Did he just say I called him over for a date?! Who would ever do something like that? The hell, I just wanted to tell him clearly to piss off and not to interfere with my work! My thoughts where interrupted, by a familiar slightly angered voice. "What do you mean with being annoying? I just wanted to spend some time with my boyfriend. Since we are dating now we should have dates sometimes." Hearing the words boyfriend and dating made me question if had hit my head somewhere on the way home and in reality I was unconsciouses while having the most fucked up dream of all time. Or maybe Shinra tried one of his strange experiments on me again and now I have hallucinations. But well, either way, I had to find out what was going on. "Ha?! What do you mean with dating Shizu-chan? And who is your boyfriend?"Hearing me say that the protozoan had a confused expression on his face before he began to explain the situation to me. Due to what happened in that shameful night a week ago and the fact that I didn't try to run away the two days afterward until I had healed enough to finally go home, he thought that that was a confession from me and assumed that we were already dating for a week. How messed up is his stupid brain? It took me nearly an hour to convince him that we are defiantly not going out in any way and after I made that clear he wanted to know why I originally called him over. "As I said earlier I called you over to tell you to stop being so annoying. This whole week I had to get my information in the most complicated ways because you interfered with my work all the time. You even busted some of my many fake identities." Unexpectedly Shizu-chan was calmly listening to me, before standing up from the sofa to come a bit closer, eyes pinned on me. "The reason why I interfered was that what you were doing was dangerous. You even crossdressed sometimes, what would you do if one of those guys was trying to do something? Or what if you'd have to face really dangerous people? You could get hurt really bad or even die when I'm not around." And again I couldn't really believe my ears. Not only did this guy interfere with my work, no he fucking underestimated my ability to do my job correctly and my ability to get out of dangerous situations myself! As if I'd need him of all people to protect me. I was so mad in that situation, that I had sliced Shizu-chans chest with my knife before realizing it myself. Well, I wasn't this mad and annoyed for a really really long time my consciousness couldn't completely keep up with my actions. I knew that the newest idea of this bird brain was that he was in love with me, but how the hell could he degenerate me from his equal to someone who needed protection and wasn't able to survive on his own? 

Shizuo POV

Out of nowhere the flea attacked me and sliced my chest. It wasn't a serious wound and would heal in no time, but the Look in Izayas eyes was filled with rage and anger. His red eyes sparkled with a dangerous killing intend, so when he told me to leave before he'd seriously kill me, I decided to do as told for once, because talking to him in that state wouldn't do anything after all. 
After I left his place I decided to go over to Shinra. I didn't like to admit it, but he knew the Flea longer and better than I did maybe he'd be able to explain why the Flea got so mad. Of course, when I arrived at Shinras house he was enjoying his time with Celty and told me that I should leave because I was a nuisance. Though when he took a second look at me, he invited me in and asked what had happened. After I'd told him everything he looked at me with doubt and something like shock in his eyes. "Ha, you really messed it up. Congratulations." I looked at him with a questioning look, because I really didn't know what I did wrong. "Well, it is no wonder that Izaya-kun threw you out and that he was so mad. You more or less told him to the face that you thought that he is so weak that he wouldn't be able to defend himself. I mean we are talking here about the one person who faced you head on over years and didn't die, so it should be more than clear that he is able to protect himself. Of course, you are worried about him, now that you realized that you like him instead of hating him, but did the thought that the one who was putting him in dangerous situations this past week was none other than you yourself? After all, being an informant is a job that requires a lot of discretion, and if you really blew up some of his many identities that is more than a small problem for him. You shouldn't ignore his circumstances so much, just because you are aware of your own feelings now. If I'd be in your place I wouldn't contact him for a while. After all, he hates it to be cornered by others." When my high school friend finished his monologue, I realized that I really might have said and done some wrong things, but I never meant to tell Izaya that he is weak, I know best that he isn't. I used the wrong words to show my concern, I am just worried about him. He'll definitely hold a grudge against me for a while. I had to think about what to do to make him talk to me again. And it was a fact that I really shouldn't get near him when he was working from now on...

So that is the end of the chapter, I hope you liked it. 

See you next time again. I think I'll bring Kadota back because I really like him in his role as one of Izayas two close friends. XD
