Hi everyone! Here's a new story for you all requested by my friend (and possibly my biggest fan) Angel Yori. This ones for you Yori san! :) I'm sure you've all guessed but yes this is another Izaya/Kida fic. There's onsided Kida/Mikado in this fic as well. Well then, enjoy!

"Mikado… There's something I've wanted to tell you for a while now."

Mikado looked up from his notes and stared at his blonde friend, who kept his head down. The teens agreed to have a study session together at Mikado's place. Mikado couldn't help but noticed his friend acting strangely more than usual. 'Well, he was always a weird guy,' Mikado constantly told himself. But lately, Kida seemed more… clingy.

"Sure Masaomi. What's up?" Mikado put his pen down on the table gently to hear what Kida had to say. "Is everything alright?"

"Damn it. How can he just act so normal? My chest can't take this anymore." Finally, the blonde looked up at his friend and took a deep breath. "Mikado…" He began. "I think… No. I like you."Kida blushed instantly and lowered his head again, afraid to see his friend's reaction.

"Masaomi? What do you mean? I mean I like you too but –"

"No. I mean, I really like you." Masaomi interrupted. "There. I finally said it."

"…I see." Mikado responded. "Masaomi… I don't where to begin. But I-

"Shit!" The blonde screamed mentally and stood up abruptly.

"Wait Masaomi! Where are you going?" Mikado followed his friend who was heading to the door. "Wait! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"No, don't worry." Masaomi stopped in front of the door. "I should've thought about this more." He turned his head back to his worrying friend. "I'm fine, see?" The blonde wore a cheerful smile to reassure his friend. "So then, I'll see you tomorrow, alright? Goodnight." Kida said as he opened the door and stepped outside.

Mikado stood silently as he stared at the door. He thought he knew his friend well. "Was this the reason why you wanted me to move here?" Mikado thought to himself. Nothing seemed to make sense. Kida had always flirted with girls when they were together. "Or maybe that was a cover up? Was he trying to make me jealous? Does he ever flirt with girls when I'm not around?" Mikado let out a deep sigh. He had enough problems as it is.

A few hours had past since Kida left Mikado's. The blonde didn't realize he had been sitting on a park bench all alone. It took his mind a while to register that his body was shivering from the cold air but he didn't care. Noting else could compare to what his heart was feeling now.

"It's a bit chilly out here, don't you think?"

Kida instantly jumped up at the sudden realization that someone was sitting next to him. He turned his head to the mysterious other and saw red eyes illuminating in the darkness.

"Izaya-san?"

"Bravo Masaomi." The raven scooted closer to the teen. He watched the blonde move uncomfortably and placed an arm around his shoulder. "What seems to be the problem?"

Kida didn't respond and stood up, getting ready to leave. "Can't you just leave me alone?" The informant smirked and followed after the blonde.

"You of all people should know me by now." Izaya placed a hand on Kida's shoulder. "Ne, did he reject your feelings." Those words hit Kida like a brick wall as he paused for a moment, making the informant smirk. "I didn't know that you swung that way Masaomi." Izaya almost laughed. "Or perhaps you go both ways?"

"Just shut up and stop following me." Kida stalked off. "Really, can't you just leave yourself out of other people's business? It's no wonder you're looked so down upon."

"By who exactly? The raven caught up with the blonde. Kida felt there was no need to respond to his question and continued walking.

"Was there something you wanted from me?"

"Hm? Nothing in particular. I just saw my poor beloved Masaomi sulking by himself and just wanted to comfort him." Izaya answered. "So then, is there anyway I could help him?"

"Who would want your help?" Kida said to himself. "Err… No, not really Izaya-san… Actually, leaving me alone might help. So why don't you go stalk someone else or something."

"Ah, I'm so hurt Masaomi!" The informant placed a hand on his chest dramatically. "You know I'm always here for you."

"Yeah, well I'm not seeking your help right now." Kida replied. "You would make things worse anyway." The informant didn't respond but instead, kept following the blonde. Not only did Kida get annoyed by it, he was starting to get suspicious of him. He had planned on returning home but decided against that until the raven stopped following him. Kida finally stopped. "Izaya-san, what do you want?"

"Like I said, nothing in particular." Izaya finally walked ahead of the teen. "Well, something seems to have come up so I'll be taking my leave now. See you around then!" Kida watched as the informant disappeared into the dark. He blinked several times to catch a glimpse of the strange man but eventually gave up and turned around.

Setton: [Evening.]

Tanaka Taro: [Evening…]

Kanra: [My, everyone seems down (~o~) ]

Setton: [Today was exhausting. Had to make several deliveries today for work.]

Tanaka Taro: [This homework is stressing me out…]

Kanra: [ Busy, Busy]

Setton: [Kanra, is there something you do for a living?]

Kanra: [I like to think of myself as a spy]

Tanaka Taro: [Later.]

Setton has left the chat room

Kanra: [Ne, Tanaka you seem bothered by something.]

Tanaka Taro: [Well yeah, I mentioned this homework before.]

Tanaka Taro: [Actually, I probably shouldn't be on this right now…]

Kanra: [Really now? Is that all there is that you're worrying about?]

Kanra: [Hellooo?]

Tanaka Taro: [I'm also worried… about a friend of mine.]

Tanaka Taro: [But I rather not go into much detail on that matter. I should be going. Later.]

Tanaka Taro has left the chat room.

"I'm so not ready for this quiz guys!" Kida whined to his two classmates who were walking a few feet ahead of him.

"Didn't you two study together last night?" Anri asked. The boys flinched as they remembered what had happened last night. The bespectacled girl took notice.

"R-Right! Yeah we did!" The blonde covered up. "Still though, I couldn't really concentrate-"Kida paused, making Anri more puzzled.

"So how do you think you'll do Sonohara-san?" Mikado stepped in.

Kida sighed to himself as he watched his friends conversing with each other. He noticed Mikado smiling and looking directly into her eyes as they walked. In Kida's eyes, he seemed to be enjoying himself, which kind of tore Kida's already aching heart. The blonde dug his hands into his pockets and kept his head down as he followed. When they had already arrived to Raira, he stayed behind to wait for Mikado to put his shoes away in his locker.

"Hey, Mikado."

Mikado turned his attention to his blonde friend who was leaning against the lockers. "Yes Masaomi?" The teen answered calmly.

"About last night…" Kida began. "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you or anything." He turned his head to Mikado who had just shut his locker.

"Masaomi, don't worry about it." Mikado smiled, which surprised Kida. "If that's how you feel, then that's how you feel. I don't have a problem with it." Mikado paused and his smile fell. "I'm sorry though. I'm just not like that."

Kida's eyes widened at his friend's response. He had expected Mikado to be sterner about the situation. Instead, Mikado was taking a different turn. This was the person that Kida had always harbored feelings for.

"I'm sorry if I upset you last night. I really didn't intend to hurt your feelings or anything like that. No, that would be the last thing I would have wanted." Mikado looked down. "I really hope… nothing changes between us." He finally ended. He looked up and saw Kida's eyes began to water. "Masaomi! Was it something I said?"

"No." Kida laughed and wiped his eyes with his sleeve. "No worries bro. Nothings going change between us. Got it?" The blonde gave his friend a friendly punch on the pectoral area and then dashed down the hall. "Come on! You're going to be late if you just stand there!"

"W-What?" Mikado said dumbfounded. "H-Hey! Wait up!"

"That test wasn't as hard as I thought it be." Mikado began as he, Anri and Kida left Raira. "How do you think you did on it Sonohara-san?"

"Alright." She answered nonchalantly.

Kida walked silently behind them rethinking his conversation with Mikado. The truth was, just being his friend wasn't enough. The kind rejection only wanted his friend more. His teeth gritted as he watched Mikado and Anri laughing together. "He doesn't get it. I should've known."

"Masaomi!"

Kida snapped out of his thoughts and turned his attention to Mikado. "Oh, sorry. What's up?"

"Why don't we all get a bite to eat? There's always a special at Russia Sushi isn't there?" Mikado suggested. "Come on, just the three of us."

"Three of us." Truth was, Kida wasn't really up for meal right now and would have preferred to wander around for a bit. The blonde could tell that Mikado just wanted to spend some more time with Anri, which pissed Kida off even more. He knew this was for the best. "I uh, just remembered something I have to do!"

"Huh? Right now? Mikado asked confused.

"Yeah. This is sort of important so I'll be seeing you guys. Have fun!" And with that, Kida dashed like a speeding bullet.

"That…was strange." Anri commented.

"Yeah." Mikado agreed. "I'm sorry Sonohara-san. I think there's something wrong with Masaomi. I hate to ask you this but can we postpone the dinner?"

"Yes." Anri nodded. "I'm also worried as well. Go see if he is alright."

"Thank you." Mikado turned around and waved his hand. "We'll see you tomorrow alright?"

"Now I could've sworn he went this way…" Mikado looked around. Little did he know, Masaomi watched him from the top of a nearby building.

"Running away again?"

Kida turned around and saw the informant walking towards him.

"He seems kind of worried don't you think?" Izaya stood next to the teen and watched as Mikado searched through stores and shops. "It's not like you to make him worry on purpose." Izaya continued to break the silence.

Kida didn't respond but instead kept looking down at Mikado. He knew that Izaya knew what was going on. God knows how long he's been watching him. He knew that the best thing to do was to just keep his mouth shut. He flinched at the sound of his cell phone ringing and couldn't help but notice the grin on the informant's face.

"Hello?" Kida answered. "Oh! Hey bro! What's new?" The blonde continued with his cheerful personality. "Me? Oh you know, I'm just running some errands for someone. For who? It's for an old friend of mine. I don't think you two have ever met…" Kida kept going on as he avoided Izaya's grin. "Dinner tomorrow..? Sure but what happened to tonight...? Ah… I see…I guess that could work then." Izaya chuckled. "Alright, see you then." Kida finally hung up and turned around.

"I'll be honest with you, Masaomi." Izaya called out to Kida. Before he even finished what he was about to say, the blonde exited the door and slammed it shut. "You're very interesting." He smirked.
