Shizaya-Seeing Right Through You

Chapter 8

"Izaya I really need to see you eat something, you're getting way to skinny." Shinra said as he brought in a plate of sushi to the information broker. Izaya was lying on his back and staring up at the white ceiling, he hadn't moved for three days which was really worrying Shinra. It had been weeks since he had been put into the solitary confinement room; ever since then he would just lay on the floor for days on end staring at the ceiling or crying...he really didn't "cry" per-say, tears would just spill out of his eyes but he wouldn't scrunch his face up or start sobbing. Whenever Shinra would bring him something to eat he would only take a few bites then got back to staring at the ceiling.

"Izaya please eat...or move...just let me know that you're still alive!" Shinra said nervously; he could see bags under the raven's eyes, signaling that he hadn't slept in a long time.

"But I don't want to be alive." Izaya said almost to quiet for the underground doctor to hear; Shinra sighed heavily as he reached out a hand towards the male. Izaya grabbed it and let Shinra hoist him up to his feet; the raven stretched his tired muscles and stared at the brunet with annoyed expression.

"You shouldn't lie down for such long periods of time; you could really hurt your back like that." Shinra explained as he handed the plate of food to Izaya.

"I'm not hungry." Izaya said as he tried to hand the plate of food back to the underground doctor.

"Izaya I can see your ribs right now, you need to eat something or you'll starve to death...." The two were interrupted by the sound of someone knocking at the apartment door.

"I want to see that plate cleared by the time I get back." Shinra said fiercely as he left the room, closing the door behind him.

"Oh, hello Kasuka." Shinra said cheerfully as he answered the door; the young actor smiled as he was invited into the apartment.

"I'm glad your finally out of the hospital; how's your injuries?" Shinra asked curiously as he saw that all the casts were off of the younger male's body.

"All my injuries healed fairly quickly, aside from a few scrapes and bruises I'm feeling fine." Kasuka said, he actually did still have a small bruise on the corner of his lip and a few more on his arms and chest.

"I'm surprised Shizuo isn't with you, I thought he was going to start being your bodyguard while you're in town filming your movie?"

"I told him I'd be getting out of the hospital so I could come see how Izaya was doing; has he been making progress?" Kasuka asked; Shinra sighed and waved the actor towards the room he kept Izaya in.

"Well he knows what he's doing is wrong, that much is clear...he's just been through a lot and has had some bad experiences with people so I know this is going to take a lot of work. He's been so depressed lately so I wanted to let him out today so he could do his job; he loves being an informant so maybe that will cheer him up. The only problem is Celty can't watch him today because someone had called her for a job." Shinra said as he opened the door to the SC room. Izaya was lying back down on the floor with the plate of untouched food beside him.

"Izaya-kun I thought I told you to eat everything on that plate." Shinra said angrily as he bent down to grab the plate from off the floor.

"I don't want to eat, get off my back." Izaya spat back as he kept his vision on the ceiling.

"Hello, Izaya-kun." Izaya sat up at the sound of a familiar voice; his eyes widened when he saw the young actor staring at him indifferently. He turned his head away as his body started to shake.

"Hello...Kasuka...where's your brother? I thought he was supposed to be protecting you from me?" Izaya asked; not making any attempt to look at the actor.
