An Informant's Assistant | Izaya Orihara x Reader

His Cellphone

Izaya Orihara has several cell phones; I'm not even kidding. You would think that he wouldn't mind if one goes missing, but you're wrong. Ever since that day you decided to borrow one of Izaya's cell phone and accidentally dropped it down a drain, the bond between you and Izaya had weakened.

"Why did you borrow my stuff without asking me?"

"I didn't think you would mind since you have a bunch of cell phones," You stammered.

"Cell phones are wonderful things. They aren't toys that you throw down a drain."

"I didn't mean to do that; it was an accident!"

Izaya-chan sighed. "I'm going to try to get it back. You can have the day off today."

"F-Fine!" You exclaimed.

You gathered your belongings and stormed out the door. Once you were outside, you leaned against the door and reflected on your actions. You felt really bad, but you don't know what to do, so you decided to go to the park and think some more.

Once you were at the park, you noticed Shizuo leaning against a pole. He greeted you when he recognized you.

"Yo, [Name]. Aren't you working for Izaya?" Shizuo winced at Izaya's name.

"He kicked me out today..." Your voice cracked, but you refused to cry.

Shizuo sighed. "I told you that guy's an idiot."

"W-Well, sometimes... Izaya-chan can be a really caring person, you know."

Shizuo bursted into laughter. "Sorry... I can't help it..."

You couldn't help but smile.

When Shizuo's laughter finally ceased, he noticed that you were shivering. "It's cold; why don't you go home?"

"I don't feel like it..." You have no idea why, though.

Shizuo stood there. His facial expressions shows that he's deep in thought. After a moment of hesitation, he took his vest off and handed it to you. You looked at the vest, wondering whether you should take such an item from Shizuo. After all, he treasured it. Shizuo seemed to know what you were thinking for he soon spoke up.

"I have a whole box filled with vests, and my brother would probably want me to help others." Shizuo turned his head, so you couldn't see his blushing face.

"You can keep your vest," said a voice from behind.

Shizuo turned around to find Izaya standing a few meters behind him. Shizuo suddenly snapped, probably out of habit.

"I-ZA-YAAA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

Izaya-chan's mischievous grin suddenly faded from his face, leaving a serious expression. "Shizu-chan, we can't do this today. Right now, I want to apologize to [Name]-chan. I want to talk to her."

Shizuo was appalled by this side of Izaya.

You bowed in front of Shizuo. "Please leave Izaya-chan alone today. I'm the one who should apologize to him, and I, too, want to speak with him."

Shizuo looked at the serious expression on both your faces. Then, he calmed down and walked in the opposite direction.

"Fine... Good luck." He waved -without looking back- and gave you a big thumbs up.

Once Shizuo was far away, you and Izaya sat down on the nearest bench. Izaya handed you his jacket.

"You're cold, right?"

You handed the jacket back to him. "It is cold. That's why you should wear your jacket!"

Izaya-chan laughed, and instead of wearing his jacket, he leaned against you and wrapped the jacket around the two of you.

You leaned in towards Izaya, as well, to provide him warmth. After all, he's not wearing his jacket, and he's even generous enough to lend it to you in this freezing weather. However, you were quite surprised to find that Izaya's body was already as warm as a steamed meat bun.

"I'm sorry for losing your cell phone and for making such a scene," You said.

Izaya-chan pulled out a cell phone from his pocket. "Don't worry about it, [Name]-chan, I found it!" He leaned closer to you. "I should be the one to apologize, though. You were right, I have too many cell phones."

"Why is that one cell phone so important to you, anyway?" You were curious.

Izaya-chan laughed and opened up the gallery app on the smartphone. "Tada!~"

You stared at the screen and at the album titled "[Name]-chan~". You noticed the album consisted of many pictures of you, including a picture of you during the time you were sleeping over at Izaya's house. (See Chapter: "This Cold Winter")

"H-Hey, since when were you taking pictures of me?!" You blushed and attempted to snatch the phone away from Izaya to delete the photos, but Izaya leaned away from your reach.

"I don't know, really." Izaya-chan smiled.

You leaned in further -still trying to take the phone away from him- when he held your back. You awkwardly fell onto Izaya, and he held you in his arms.

"L-Let me go!" You exclaimed as you tried to get up. However, Izaya's grip was too strong.

"But I'm cold!" Izaya-chan said.

"L-Liar..." Your head is on Izaya's chest, and your face is warm from Izaya's body heat.

"Fine," Izaya-chan said, "But please let me hold you a little longer."

Eventually, you stopped resisting. "You'll delete the pictures later, right?"

"Sure~" Izaya-chan said.

"R-Really?!"

"Of course! After having a panic attack from almost losing all these pictures, I now have them backed up on my USB."

"... I'm going to find your USB and delete those images! I swear I will!" You embraced Izaya-chan. "But why have pictures when you can have the real thing?"
