Injection ; Shizaya

[Shizuo's POV]

Shizuo sometimes wondered how he got into situations like this. Here he was standing across from Izaya who had been turned into a cat. Yes, a fucking cat. Of course by Shinra. Who else did they know who could do something like this?

When Shinra rang the blonde and said he had injected Izaya with a green liquid he found in his laboratory, he didn't know what to think. He wasn't exactly sure why the underground doctor was telling him, foremost, or why he had injected the flea.

Shizuo assumed Izaya had caught a cold or flu or something or other, and that was why. But when he came round and saw the black cat sitting on Shinra's couch, it made him question everything. One, why did Shinra now have a cat? Two, where was Izaya? And three, why exactly am I here?

To put it simply, because who the fuck has all day to explain, he thought to himself, here's the simple and quick points of everything. One, Izaya was the black cat who was sitting on the underground doctor's couch. Two, Shinra decided to risk everything and test the green liquid on the flea. He's done many injections for Shinra before (god knows why), and decided to trust him with this (again, god knows why.) and lastly, Shinra wanted Shizuo to take care of Izaya. Yes, the flea.

Why, you ask? Who the fuck knows. That's what Shizuo was about to find out for himself.

"So Shinra, why exactly do you want me to take care of the flea?" Shizuo pushed his glasses up his nose, and focused. When he spoke of the flea, he always lost it. Just focus on everything but that.

"Well, you see." Shinra made a motion with his hand to the black cat, "Me and Celty don't have time to take care of Izaya, and nobody else will definitely take care of him."

"So, you think I'm the best option? Me and the flea are enemies, remember? I'm the worst option you could of thought of."

"Come on, Shizuo. You're the one that knows him the best. I can't hand him over to a stranger in his condition. A lot of people hate him-"

"- I hate him."

"- and they could kill him -"

"- I could kill him."

"- but, I trust you." Shinra's eyes met with Shizuo's. "You've known him all your life, you know how he is, and I know for sure you can handle that. And if everything else fails, he's a cat now. How much damage can he do?"

Shizuo sighed, took a deep breath and walked over to where the black cat was sitting currently.

"It would be safe for you to take him. You wouldn't hurt an innocent cat, would you?"

"That depends. Izaya really is the cat, right?" Shinra sighed, and nodded his head, "Well, it's an entirely different matter, then. This isn't an innocent cat, or a cat, at all."

Shizuo knelt down in front of Izaya, admiring him. He had to resist the urge to laugh. It was funny. Izaya saw himself as a god. Someone who was better than everyone else. And now here he was, sitting as a black cat.

Izaya's head raised, his auburn brown eyes staring into his. The raven let out a soft meow, and Shizuo couldn't help but laugh this time.

"I suppose that meow was cat talk for Shizu-chan, right?" Shizuo saw Shinra roll his eyes at him, but he ignored it.

Shizuo put his hand out to see what Izaya would do - bite him probably - but before his hand could be anywhere close to the cat, Izaya jumped onto the blonde's face.

The blonde sighed. He could hear Shinra's muffled laugh, but he ignored it, and focused on the flea that was clinging to his face. Shizuo pulled the cat away from his face and looked at him. He was too cute to kill, and that annoyed the hell out of Shizuo.
