Pairing: Shizuo/Izaya

“He’s just…”

Shinra waited patiently.

“Just…!!!”

Shinra sipped his tea as Shizuo threw his hands up in the air in exasperation.

“Really fuckin’ pretty!”

Shinra spat out his tea because that, of all things, was not what he was expecting.

Another uneventful day of school had ended and with a test coming up, Shizuo had decided to go over to Shinra’s. Shinra normally would’ve objected to this, but Celty had some errands to run and he reasoned that in exchange for some tutoring, Shizuo would fix the door he’d ripped off the hinges last time. 

As always, Shizuo had started ranting about Izaya. Shinra neglected to mention that Shizuo brought him up incredibly often, even more so than expected for someone he hated. For someone who disgusted him to even mentioned, Shinra wanted to point out, Shizuo endured much suffering to talk about him for great lengths of time.

Clearing his throat, Shinra’s fisted hand pounded at his chest a few times, wincing but single open eye watching Shizuo fume on the other couch. “Huh… didn’t expect that. Was really expecting something more along the lines of an insult.”

“Yeah, guy’s a goddamn nuisance!” Shizuo snapped and growled as he tousled his own hair. “But, fuck, his face, it’s–it pisses me off!”

Shinra blinked.

“Because he’s good looking?”

“Yeah! How can a guy like that have a face like that?!”

“Simple, Shizu-chan. Genetics.”

Not even bothering to look behind him to confirm the intruder via balcony was Izaya, Shinra just groaned quietly and buried his face in his hands as he assumed chaos erupted in his living room. “Right… because that’s really what his ego needed to hear…”

Heaving a sigh as he heard a crash, Shinra leaned forward with his elbows on his knees and shook his head sadly.

“I’m a good person… I don’t deserve this…”

“You missed, Shizu-chan! Sorry, was my pretty face distracting you?”

“I’LL RIP IT OFF AND FEED IT TO DOGS, IZAYA!!”

“Maybe use it as a mask! Shizu-chan’s face could surely use the upgrade!”

“I–ZA–YA–!!!”
