Cat & Dog ; Shizaya

— Chapter 5

THREE PAIRS OF bags. Three pairs of boots. Three tee shirts. Three pairs of jeans. Two pair of knee-high socks. And so much jewellery. Oh, you haven't worked out this list, yet? It's Celty's shopping from yesterday. It was spread out all over the living-room floor and sofa. Shizuo and Izaya knew this because they were sitting in the middle of it all. Izaya wasn't sure why they were so much. Why did Celty need so much choices? Wasn't one enough?

The socks, bag, and boots were for next week at the cosplay event, Shizuo and Izaya noted. But which ones?

“I'm not going to lie, Celty, our room looks like a shopping store.” Shinra laughed, shaking his head.

[That's a bit much, don't you think? I didn't even buy that much.] Celty typed and showed him the screen.

“So, what colours are you thinking of going in?” Shinra said, “Your sailor uniform is black and red.”

[Well, that's what I was thinking about. I'm thinking the black and white knee high socks with a red bag? I don't know yet. That's why I bought so many.]

“Well, I suppose I'm thankful you went to Ikebukuro and Shinjuku, instead of Ginza.”

“The shopping district of Japan, or at least Tokyo.” Izaya turned to Shizuo, “So you think we'll still be animals by the cosplay event, Shizuo?”

“Hmm… I hope not.” Shizuo sighed, “It might be fun. I was thinking of going.”

“Oh?” Izaya raised an eyebrow, “I didn't know you were into cosplay?”

“Oh, I'm not. But it still might be fun to go. And at any rate, I've never been to one of these events before. How about you, Izaya?”

“I'll go, if you go, Shizuo. We could go together. Or with Celty. I wonder who else is going?”

“Probably most of Ikebukuro.” Shizuo chuckled, “You know what this place is like when an event happens.”

[You know I forgot to go to Animate yesterday, I'll have to go later today. I wonder if Izaya and Shizuo would what to come with me?] Celty typed, and showed Shinra.

“That's a good idea, and they definitely seemed to enjoy yesterday. They need to go out later, anyway.” Izaya and Shizuo looked at the underground doctor, “Would you guys like to go with Celty to Animate later?”

“Yes!” Izaya jumped up and laughed, and so did Shizuo. “That's great. I was thinking of going, anyway. It's like they read my mind.”

Shinra laughed, “I think that's a yes, and if anything you could sneak them insides. If you're careful maybe nobody will notice.”

[A big Labrador Retriever, what could go wrong?] Celty typed, [Are either of you wanting anything at Animate?] At Izaya's frantically nodding head, Celty started typing once again, [You'll have to show me which book, OK?]

“Right. Let's have something to eat and we'll all head out.” Shinra said walking into the kitchen.

“Whoa, did I just hear that correctly or did Shinra say he was going to come with us?” Shizuo mumbled.

“That's a new one, even for his standards. Well, it makes a change, so I won't complain.”

Celty suggested Russia Sushi and Lottarias and of course Izaya and Shizuo was very happy with that idea, so whilst Celty headed out for the food, Izaya decided to take a rest. He didn't often sleep at his apartment because of all his work, so now he was catching up.
