"Can I get some better painkillers? The stuff you gave me is useless," Izaya continued, not yet realizing that Shinra was not the one inside the apartment with him.
Shizuo had never before found himself to be at such a loss for words. What could he say? It's me, Shizuo; oh, and by the way, I'm sorry I raped you? Even if he were to apologize, to Izaya those would be nothing more than empty words.
"Shinra, are you liste―?" Izaya snapped and turned his head to glare at the man, only to lose his voice when he saw who was standing there in the living room with him.
Their eyes met and Shizuo saw Izaya's previous annoyed expression morph into one of pure terror, the same expression that Shizuo was so used to seeing on other people's faces but not on his enemy's. Before he could say a word, Izaya sprang to his feet and jumped away to the opposite side of the room. His eyes seemed to be frantically searching for something, and when it looked like he couldn't find what he was looking for, Shizuo saw him swing the hand he remembered breaking, which was now in a cast, straight towards the glass sliding door leading to the balcony, the loud sound as the glass hit the floor making him wince.
He watched Izaya crouch down to grab a piece of glass, those almost red eyes never leaving him even after the Informant got up and assumed a defensive position. It felt unnatural to see Izaya with that thing in his hand instead of the usual switchblade and the sight of the blood running down the skinny forearm from holding onto it too tightly made him cringe. "Can we talk?" he tried, and he didn't miss Izaya's flinch when the man heard his voice. Izaya was in no shape to fight him, the nasty bruise starting to form on the pale chest clearly indicating that the man was hurt. That wasn't all though; Izaya's strength had always been his agility, which meant that he needed a lean body to do all the parkour, but he wasn't lean anymore, the once healthy-looking man being replaced by this malnourished thing with hollow cheeks and haunted eyes.
"Izaya, we need to―" he started, but in the next moment Izaya was upon him like a wild beast, his usual coordinated attacks nowhere to be seen. This was a cornered animal with nothing to lose and Shizuo knew that if he didn't do something, and soon, Izaya would either hurt himself or he would end up unintentionally hurting him. He dodged the first attack and then tried to grab Izaya, but the cornered beast was unpredictable, making Shizuo's task of apprehending him with minimum damage really hard to accomplish. The fact that Izaya was so proficient at handling weapons with both hands was dangerous, and Shizuo barely had time to protect himself by raising his left arm in time to block the attack heading straight towards his throat. The piece of glass ended up getting embedded into his forearm and he took the opportunity to grab Izaya by the neck and throw him into the hallway and away from the broken glass.
He immediately removed the piece of glass from his forearm and threw it towards the balcony before he rushed to Izaya, bent down, grabbed both wrists in one hand and then wrapped the other around the frail neck before the man even had a chance to get up. He pulled up a struggling Izaya and started dragging him back to the living-room, but the man raised one leg and tried to kick him away. "Izaya!" Shizuo growled as he tightened his hold and kept it like that until Izaya stopped struggling. Now that the man was finally compliant, Shizuo pushed him into the armchair and kept him pinned there in the hope that Izaya would finally snap out of it. He forced a knee between Izaya's legs to make sure that he couldn't kick him, and then leaned in closer until Izaya's face was mere inches away from his own. Even though he was restraining him, Shizuo hoped he could make him understand that he meant no harm, but he knew it wouldn't be easy because Izaya was shaking like a leaf, his eyes unfocused and glazed over. It crushed Shizuo to know that he could cause such terror in the only human being who'd never been afraid of him before.
"Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you," he tried to assure him, but Izaya was still in his own world. "Flea!!!" he growled and Izaya jerked in his hold, some flicker of recognition coming back to those terrified brown-red eyes. "Snap out of it already!"
Izaya took a few deep breaths in order to gather his wits. "F-Fuck you," he hissed.
Shizuo sighed but didn't let go yet. "Welcome back. flea."
"Fuck you!" Izaya repeated in a venomous tone even though on the inside he was terrified at the prospect of what would happen to him now that Shizuo had him immobilized. The man was way too close, the hot breath tickling his face making his skin crawl. A few moments later, he felt Shizuo loosen the grip he had on his neck, the hand making its way towards his shoulder, and he shuddered, feeling completely disgusted by the touch. "Don't!"
"I won't!" Shizuo hurried to answer. "I will never touch you like that again."
"Let go!" Izaya demanded, but his voice sounded pathetic even to his own ears.
"I want to," Shizuo spoke softly, "but there's no guarantee you won't lose it again."
"I didn't lose it to begin with," Izaya hissed through clenched teeth. He could clearly remember everything up to the point where he got pinned down by Shizuo, that being the moment when his mind got flooded by memories and he ended up drowning in them.
Shizuo gave him an incredulous look. "Seriously?" He'd been certain that Izaya was not himself when he attacked, but if the man had really been aware of his actions, then Izaya must've been really desperate if he ended up fighting in such a wild manner.
"I'm not a beast like you," Izaya said in a malicious voice. "Get your filthy hands off, now!"
Shizuo pondered the demand, but in the end he decided against it. "If I do that, you're going to attack me again, and I don't want to hurt you."
"That's rich, coming from you," Izaya said, his voice dripping venom. "Or have you already forgotten what you did to me, how you almost killed me?"
"I haven't forgotten. I... I'm sorry," Shizuo apologized in a voice laced with guilt.
Izaya's eyes widened in disbelief and he broke into hysterical laughter. "Ahh ha ha ha! You goddam beast! You dare apologize to me? Ahh ha ha ha ha!" he kept laughing, until he couldn't anymore because of the pain caused by the broken rib. "You monster!" he hissed, his expression turning savage again. "You have no right to be sorry!" he said and he noticed how Shizuo's grip on his shoulder tightened. "Beasts cannot feel regret, they have no feelings after all," he added with a nasty smirk on his face. "You're guided by your instincts only and that's why you're nothing more than a vicious animal, a beast. Eat, sleep, fuck, that's all you care about."
Shizuo growled and tightened his grip until he heard Izaya whimper. "You kept pushing me until I snapped; that's what you wanted, and now that I showed you the monster I've been trying to suppress, you start complaining. You're a hypocrite, flea."
"I'm a hypocrite?! You're the only hypocrite here, always pretending to be human when you're nothing more than a savage beast! You... you bastard... you sick fuck!" Izaya shouted in pure rage, but he ended up regretting it when Shizuo snarled and tightened the hold he had on his shoulder until he could feel the beginning of tears starting to form at the corners of his tightly shut eyes. Shizuo was still a beast with inhuman strength, and it hurt so much that Izaya had to bite hard into his lower lip to stop himself from crying out, only a few pained whimpers escaping past his lips. By the time Shizuo loosened his grip, there was blood running down Izaya's chin, the coppery taste almost making him gag.
"I am human! I have feelings too! You think it's easy for me to go on living knowing what I did to you? But you know what? You made me do it! It's only your fault," Shizuo said in a low, desperate, yet dangerous tone.
Izaya felt a shiver run down his spine and he was damn terrified about the whole situation but he had so much hate and resentment bottled up inside of him that he felt as though he would burst at any moment. "Oh, I see, so now you're blaming me for what you did, like I asked you to stab me, burn me, break my bones and then violate me in such a disgusting and vicious manner. All of it is on you, beast!" he snapped and spat Shizuo in the face.
Shizuo growled while the hand which had previously been on Izaya's shoulder viciously tightened around the slender neck again, not letting go even when Izaya started struggling for air. "You made me lose my job, and because of that I ended up disappointing my brother. Your fault, all your fault, you made me this way, I hate you, I hate you so much, why did you provoke me? All your fault, everything is your fucking fault!" Shizuo said brokenly, only letting go when he succeeded in snapping out of his temporary insanity enough to see that he was choking Izaya to death. "I'm sorry!" he nearly screeched and immediately released Izaya's wrists. He watched with wide horrified eyes how the man he'd just tried to choke to death was struggling to breathe, and the idea that he truly was a monster came back to him with a vengeance. Then, out of nowhere, he heard Shinra shout, and the shock of everything made him lose his balance and fall down when Shinra punched him in the face. I didn't even see him come in, he thought as he pushed himself off the ground with trembling limbs.
"Get away from him, now!" Shinra shouted and watched with hateful eyes as Shizuo staggered to the other side of the room.
Celty could only stare in shock. Never had she seen Shinra so angry before, and the fact that the anger was directed at Shizuo was something really strange. She was now certain that something must've really happened between the two of them to shatter their friendship.
"Izaya, are you okay?" Shinra asked in a worried voice, immediately proceeding to inspect the damage when Izaya wouldn't answer. His eyes widened when he saw the bruise starting to form on Izaya's shoulder and he couldn't help but grimace when he noticed the cuts on the hands. Snapping his head in Shizuo's direction, he growled the next command. "Celty, restrain Shizuo!"
Celty stood stock still, not knowing how to react.
"Celty!" Shinra repeated, hoping she'd snap out of it. "Do what I said!"
"There's no need," Shizuo said weakly. "I... I'm leaving."
Shinra got up from where he'd knelt in front of Izaya, stomped towards Shizuo, grabbed the man by the front of his black t-shirt, and then slammed him hard into the wall.
Shizuo had to force himself not to react, not wanting to accidentally hurt Shinra even though the unfamiliar closeness made him uncomfortable.
"What did I tell you?" Shinra whispered so softly that Shizuo barely hear him.
"To stay away from Izaya," Shizuo answered just as softly.
"And did you listen to me?" Shinra shouted this time around while tightly wrapping the fingers of his other hand around Shizuo's neck.
That's when Celty snapped out of her stupor and proceeded to pull Shinra away from Shizuo.
"Let me go!! He needs to die, I'm going to kill him, let me kill him!" Shinra kept shouting while struggling to free himself from Celty's hold.
[Leave!] Celty typed on the PDA using her smoke before she showed it to Shizuo who simply nodded and rushed out of the apartment.
Shizuo never saw Izaya's disturbing smile as the man watched him leave.
"Why?! Why did you stop me?" Shinra whined once Shizuo was out of the apartment and he slumped in her shadows.
[I don't know what happened, but killing Shizuo is not the answer, no matter what he might've done to upset you.]
Shinra merely gave her a nasty glare as soon as he was released before he rushed to Izaya's side. "Izaya," he called the name softly as he raised the raven's head to look into the unfocused eyes of his now only friend. "Did he do anything to you?" he asked, dread starting to pool in his stomach at the prospect of Shizuo doing something to Izaya while they were alone. Celty had only told him that Shizuo was waiting for them inside right before they had entered, and Shinra was slightly panicking knowing that Izaya had been alone with that monster for who knew how long.
"Izaya," he repeated, almost too afraid to know the answer, "did he do anything to you?" With Izaya being unresponsive, Shinra's eyes flew to Izaya's pants and he breathed in relief when he figured that the blood came from the cuts on the hands alone. "I'm sorry Izaya, I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have left you alone," he said while gently squeezing one bloody hand.
"I'm okay," Izaya said out of nowhere, startling Shinra enough to jump back and release his hand. "I was just thinking."
"Thinking? About what?!"
"It doesn't matter," Izaya answered and forced a smile on his face, hoping that Shinra would stop freaking out. It was the first time Izaya had seen Shinra lose it like that and it came as a bit of a shock. He remembered the destruction he'd caused to the man's living room and he felt the need to apologize. "You took away my jacket, so I couldn't get to my switchblade. I'm sorry about the glass."
"Oh, I see. I put it on the hall-stand. I'm so sorry."
"It doesn't matter anymore, but some stronger painkillers would be nice."
"Right away!" Shinra said and rushed to the medicine cabinet.
"Shinra can't tell you anything even if you ask him, because I'm not giving him permission to do so," Izaya told Celty when he figured that she would drive the man crazy with questions after he'd be gone.
Celty nodded and proceeded to pick up the broken glass. A part of her wanted to go after Shizuo and offer her support, but after what happened it was obvious that her friend had done something terrible enough to warrant such hatred from Shinra. She felt guilty about what happened since she had been the one to force Shizuo into following her back to the apartment. She really was starting to dislike what was happening around her because it felt like a part of her precious world had broken into pieces and she hated to think that things would probably never be the same again.
Izaya watched her for a few moments before retreating into his own mind. For the first time since that nefarious encounter, he'd finally found the perfect way to destroy Shizuo once and for all, and his mind was in overdrive trying to come up with the details. He would make the beast cry tears of blood, of that he was certain.
