On the edge of the tallest building in Ikebukuro, Izaya looked out over the city. He thought of all he had come to know throughout the years and all the lives hed meddled with. There was nothing left to do anymore, only the past to reflect upon.

Ive already gathered all the information there is to know. The excitement seems to be over, everyones gone. I barely even see Shizu chan anymore. He was the most fun to mess with, what do I do now?

The informant sighed as he gazed longingly over the ledge. His fur coat blew behind him in the wind. People walked about on the streets far below.

Humans have always fascinated me. Im fond of them but they dont need me anymore. No one would miss me if I was gone, why bother sticking around?

Shizuo saw the flea from a distance. He had been looking for Izaya all day. He wouldnt admit it to anyone but a day without Izaya was pretty boring.

Hes probably scheming of a way to get someone to jump off that building again. Damn flea always likes to have fun like that, why cant he just leave people alone?

Shizuo got ready to charge at Izaya, for he was caught off guard right than. He grasped a sign hed been carrying and was about to throw it when he noticed was something was wrong. Izaya didnt seem like his usual obnoxious self, he was just staring solemnly down over the

That flea must be up to something. I should just bash him and snap him out of it. Izaya needs to be beat up once in a while, I cant stand him, right?

Shizuo watched as the brunet stepped even closer to the edge of the building. Almost as if he were playing with his own life. He didnt even notice Shizuo was there, how could he be contemplating

It was fun playing with you lovely humans. Theres nothing left for me here. Goodbye.

Shizuo didnt know why but all of a sudden he was right at the ledge with Izaya, reaching for him. He grasped his hand, pulling him away, not letting go.

Shizu chan?

Izaya looked more vulnerable than Shizuo had ever seen him. His eyes were wide and rimmed with tears. Shizuo grabbed him and impulsively held him tight.

Why? Izaya asked perplexed.

Shut up Shizuo said blushing.

Would you really have missed me? Izaya teased, sounding a little more like himself.

I guess, Shizuo muttered. Idiot.

That makes me happy Shizu chan Izaya said nuzzling into his chest as Shizuo held him even tighter.

Whatever, flea.

Shizuo wanted to punch him, beat him senseless for scaring him like that. But somehow Izaya looked fragile, breakable and he didnt want to harm him at all. He could only cherish the fact that his favorite person in the world was still alive.

Does this mean we have a truce for today? Izaya asked playfully looking up at Shizuo, the light back in his eyes.

Yeah just dont ever do that again.

I wont Izaya said and he meant it.

Shizuo still hadnt let go of Izaya and he knew he never really would as he clung to the one person who meant everything to him.

Izaya.
