A scenario where Shinra suddenly turns lovestruck for Simon...? 8D

It must be some sort of weird spell, right? That had to be it. Celty doesn’t understand it otherwise. Shinra’s clingy-ness had been irritating for a while, but at some point it did become endearing to her. Coming home to an apartment that was Shinra-less gave her anxiety that she didn’t need.

Looking around the apartment, there didn’t seem to be any signs of struggle. Going back to the door, she inspected it and was pretty sure that their locks hadn’t been tampered with. But Shinra usually let her know if he left their home, and it was making Celty think about all the worst scenarios that could happen.

Though she doesn’t like it, the first person she thinks to ask is Izaya.

[ I need a favor... ] [[ Oh? What a rare treat! What do you want with little old me?  ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ ]]

[ Drop the cutesy act, this is serious..! ]

[[ You think its cute! ヽ(o＾▽＾o)ノ]]

If Celty had eyes, she would be rolling them.

[ Do you know where Shinra is? ]

Celty doesn’t like that it takes a little longer to reply to this question.

[[ I’m not his keeper you know, that’s your job...  (￢_￢;) ]] [[ But in any case, I do know where he is, but I’m afraid you’re probably not going to like it. ]]

Celty is about to type her reply, but she receives one more message before she can.

It is a series of pictures. The first one is outside of Russia Sushi, the next one is at the entrance, the one that follows is inside the restaurant. The next and last one, Celty isn’t sure what to make of it...

Its a picture of Shinra leaning over the sushi bar towards Simon with the most lovestruck expression on his face. Simon in the picture doesn’t seem to be bothered by it and is wearing the same happy expression that he always has.

Izaya sends her one more image. Its a selfie of himself, with Shinra and Simon in the background. This time, Shinra has bodily climbed over the sushi bar and has his arms wrapped around Simon’s midsection, cuddling him as if he were some sort of oversized teddy bear. Simon this time looks a little bit uncomfortable, his hands going down to Shinra’s armpits presumably to pick him up and put him back in his seat. Behind Simon, Celty shivers at the glare that Dennis is directing towards Shinra.

[ Keep him there. I’m on my way. ]

[[ Doesn’t seem like he wants to leave! But I’ll stay to see what happens  ┬┴┬┴┤･ω･)ﾉ ]]

When Celty arrives at the scene of the crime, she has a hard time grasping the situation.

Simon looks at a loss, quite literally keeping Shinra at arms length as the doctor struggles to bridge the gap between them. Usually Russia Sushi is packed at this time of night but due to the current circumstance, they had to close shop early. Simon couldn’t work, and Shinra kept making weird outbursts of love and made people around them uncomfortable.

Dennis and Izaya are sitting across from each other at the sushi bar. Dennis looks more than unhappy, and Izaya is sipping a drink from a straw like a child so enthralled by what he’s watching.

[ What’s going on??!?? ] Celty types, holding her phone out to Simon for him to read.

“I do not understand either,” Simon says with a despondent shake of his head. “Thought he was showing appreciation. I also appreciate in kind. But I think this is too much...”

“Too much?” Shinra echoes in disbelief. “What do you mean, too much! I haven’t even showed you the poem I wrote!”

“When did you have time to write a poem?” Izaya asks from the bar, highly amused. He had never seen Shinra like this before, towards someone who wasn’t Celty.

Shinra grins, tapping the side of his temple. “It’s all up here. It’s a work in progress, but I think it would be three pages long by now!”

“That’s much to say, in very little time...” Simon comments. He looked very visibly uncomfortable. “Его голова витает в облаках, не так ли?” (His head is in the clouds, isn’t it?)

“Может быть, он действительно сумасшедший... Не то чтобы я думала, что тебя трудно любить, Самия.” (Maybe he is insane... Not that it’s hard to love you, Simon.) Dennis says with a shake of his head. He pours a shot of vodka for himself, then offers another glass to Izaya.

Izaya looks at the glass, then shrugs. He downs his glass at the same time as Dennis, as an act of solidarity. “Извините, но это нормально для Шинра.” (Sorry to say, but this is normal for Shinra).

[ I’m so sorry about this!! ] Celty shows to Simon. And, quick like she always is, with the side of her hand she hits the back of Shinra’s neck hard enough to knock him unconscious. The doctor goes limp in Simons arms.

“Oh, such relief...!” Simon says with the biggest sigh any of them had ever heard from him. “So strange of him to act in such a way!”

Celty nods her helmet, scooping up Shinra into her arms as if he weighed nothing. With one of her shadow tendrils holding her phone, she types her reply for Simon. [ I don’t know what could have gotten over him! ] She doesn’t mention that there was a pang of irritation in her heart. Shinra would get an earful from her when he was awake again.

@capuchinofoam: ❛ you treat all your ladies like this? ❜ Celty to Izaya pffff

"You grossly underestimate the amount of women I treat out like this."

Least they forget the only woman he tends to 'hang out with' is Namie, and he definitely doesn't treat her like this. Nudging the large suitcase with his foot, he notes how much heavier it is with an unconscious body inside. Taking a sip of his coffee, he hands her a small card with an address on it.

"Deliver her home will you? I assume her husband is worried about her. You can check her mailbox for your payment as well~ Thank you for your services again, Dear Dullahan!"

What do you call these specific same flavor, different font characters?

It’s the “other characters are game pieces, and I’m the player” type of bastard.

Hi Kao! Not the anon who asked about angst, but if you're up for it, could you do a character study-ish scenario? Reader is best friends with Mikage, and she's kind of like Izaya in that she's also smart, keeps to herself, and has some admirers. But she secretly only has eyes for Izaya... who just so happens to start dating Mikage, who herself for now is unaware of the reader's attraction.

Would Izaya pick up on this, and would he tell Mikage? Or would he find a more insidious way to mess with them? Would he have, aside from wanting to see her reaction, an ulterior motive for doing so--maybe he doesn't like the passing semblance? Maybe he wants to isolate her? And what would it take to rope Mikage into his schemes?

There was that saying that people say often, how birds of the same feather flock together. Quite frankly, she doesn't quite agree with that at all. Maybe it's more like magnetism, opposites attract and negatives repel. When she had first met Izaya something about him unsettled her in a way that she'd never felt before. Not that he'd done anything to warrant such a reaction, but she thinks that maybe it was sort of a sixth sense. Something about him was so familiar and if she thought about it too much, looking at Izaya felt like she was looking at a reflection of herself.

It was creepy.

The gentle smile he offers to strangers looks so authentic that sometimes she feels like it is, but she can see that it never really reaches his eyes. Not that his eyes held distaste for whatever situation he was in, it was usually filled with child-like mirth, an excitement that never seemed to die out no matter what happened. Something about him made him mature but childish all at once; maybe she found that almost charming.

She didn't like to be in the same room with him. Not any longer than she had to anyway. If she could read him better than most people, then surely he could do the same to her. If she made eyecontact she couldn't look away for fear of him thinking that she's flustered by him, but if she continued to let him look her in the eyes, into the windows of her soul, he might find something there to use against her---

Mikage always seems to arrive at just the right time. It gives her a reason to look away. "Hey, we've been waiting for you," she greets her best friend with a nod.

"Sorry about that, I ran into some complications," Mikage replies with a shrug before giving her best friend a friendly pat on the shoulder. "Anyways, I've done my part of the plan, so what's next?"

Izaya beckons Mikage over with a wave of his hand. Though Mikage rolls her eyes at the action, she still comes closer anyway and even gifts her new boyfriend with a kiss to the top of his head. Izaya seems more pleased than usual from the show of affection, but it's probably because they have an audience and perhaps the most important audience member they could have. "For now we lay in wait and be patient," he tells her with a smile so gentle it almost feels real.

She tries not to let her eyes linger too long on their exchange. She hopes Izaya doesn't catch the way her eyes narrow in irritation.

But he does see it, and she knows it, judging by the way his smile changes just a little bit. The way his eyes crinkle slightly and how his nose scrunches up a little bit like he's discovered a little secret. It looks unfairly cute on him. "Hey, you."

"I have a name you know," she replies back, trying to sound nonchalant. She even shakes her head in disappointment. "Did you forget already? We see each other almost every day…" she jokes.

"Mmmmm, let me think," Izaya holds his chin between his fingers in thought, tilts his head to the side so that it bumps against Mikage's in an affectionate way. "I can't seem to recall… Was it Thai Fusion?"

Mikage snorts at that, leaning more into Izaya's body now that he was so close anyway. "Are we all listed as food in your contacts?"

"It's to keep you safe, my dear," Izaya tells her with that smile meant only for her.

She seethes silently at the lovey-dovey atmosphere around her two companions. There are two feelings boiling within her now. Mikage was her best friend, and she didn't exactly like that her best friend's attention had to be divided between her and Izaya. And loathe she is to admit it, she liked Izaya and it was really unfair. How he had roped in her heart the way he did was confusing to say the least. She's never liked anyone before, and usually she knew how to play with people's hearts to have them on their knees for her.

"I just remembered something," Mikage's best friend says suddenly, just before Mikage and Izaya could get any closer to each other. It was making her skin crawl. "I have to go buy some things. Do you guys want anything?"

"Pass, but thanks," Mikage says.

"If its not too much trouble, maybe Thai Fusion does sound good right about now," Izaya suggests.

She wonders if his words have a double meaning. Surely it must. The tone is teasing, and his grin is playful. Her heart races a little bit at all the possible meanings but she manages to keep her smile pretty normal. "I'll see what I can do."

As she leaves, Mikage smiles fondly at her best friend. There was just something about her that made her so likeable. "You know," she starts, turning to Izaya. "You guys are pretty similar."

"That so?" Izaya asks. "I don't think I see the resemblance. I think I'm much more handsome than she is."

Mikage scoffs. "Are you jealous of her because I like her more?"

Izaya snorts at this while shaking his head. "The way you like me is different from the way you like her. So even if you like her more in that sense, you like me more in a different sense as well. There is no competition."

"You guys keep making yes or no questions more complicated than they have to be," Mikage flicks Izaya on the forehead, grinning widely when he pouts at her. "Blah blah blah, so much to say without ever saying what you mean to say."

From the window, Izaya sees her staring at them. He carefully drapes an arm around Mikage and pulls her closer. The way Mikage's best friend bristles brings a smile to his face. "You know me too well," he surrenders. He barely had to do anything to push her buttons, she made it too easy.

[popagan]

Sure, reading fics where Izaya or Shizuo gets destroyed(destroy themselves) or never getting better or never lived to tell the tale is cool. Reading post-ketsu Izaya coming back or to suffer in agony and die alone is cool. But what about fic where post-Ketsu Izaya gets better? Not because of Shizuo, not out of love perhaps, not out of companionship. Just Izaya, just him, just Kanto (or wherever else), and maybe just him getting better.

Maybe he traveled across the world just for the kick of it (mild To Hell and Back reference), maybe he went everywhere else but home. Maybe he’ll long for it but will choose to let go, or grieve, or whatever else. Maybe he finds new friends - those who cared in their own way, maybe he and Tsukumoya go around to find new myths, new legends, new things, and they remain in contact as gossip friends (or as friends in general); maybe Izaya will get a pet, and find something to hold onto and to try to better himself for it.

And it doesn’t have to be something Izaya consciously try to do or acknowledge, maybe not as many self-reflection as one would go through when they try to improve; but it’s subtle and it doesn’t necessarily have to be good for other people, just for Izaya. Selfishness and happiness can go hand-in-hand for a man like him, I think.

And I don’t mean Izaya getting a redemption or becoming a “good” or just “good enough” is out of the table, but I think he can be better without becoming good or a law-abiding citizen with an honest job and tries to help people; but maybe he’ll be less “bad” (as in ruin people’s lives less) if you get what I’m saying. He can be happier and healthier and still be somewhat of a little shit. Mischievous little shit.

Something light-hearted, something tender, something that Izaya can do by himself - or with the help of others - but not necessarily by the help of ones who walked in the past. (Looking at you, Shizuo, Shinra.)

(But truthfully I don’t mind with anyone, such is the joy of reading fanfiction.)

Typing this out make me realize I just really like the Slice of Life genre/drabbles. Just fun times in general, mainly because I think we all would need that ever since Kuramerukagari haha.

I had a whole spiel I want to type about how much I love fics where everyone just become friends and have a happy-fun-time or the world goes to shit and everyone dies, but maybe that’s another can of worm for another day. (City of Sunshine (viridianjester) my beloved.)

(TLDR; I reread Clair De Lune by NoteInABottle and I want to find/read more of those.)

(TLDR2; Izaya needs to stop being a lonely bastard and find peace for himself.)

I finally drew this, Dazai in durarara au as Izaya, I love Athina-San take on this au.

this is Dazai being mad at someone and planning to murder them and not even trying to hide it because he knows even if he is a bastard, or crazy chuuya loves him anyway!

plus I made him wear red ring that chuuya gave him so he can track him sooner with all the danger he ends up brings (sometimes intentionally) to himself.
