While others crave for excitement, Shizuo wants nothing more than a normal life. He wants to just get a job, earn money and live like everybody else. That is why the simple things that most take for granted are so special to him: like the thought of having a kouhai, for example. When Vorona joined the debt-collection company Shizuo was under, Shizuo treated her very well: buying her a cup of coffee and handing it to her with a truly, happy smile on his face. Can you blame him? With his constant job-hopping back then, it was the first time he ever had a kouhai. Not only was it indication that Shizuo had successfully managed to stick with the same job for a long period of time, but it was also an experience most normal people had that he didn't so far --a step toward normalcy, even. A normal life is the thing Shizuo wants more than anything else, after all. That is why he's slowly strengthening himself mentally, until the day when he is finally able to control that violent streak.
Shizuo is an honest man --in every sense of the word-- and thus appreciates honesty in return. Anyone who is straightforward with him is less likely to be on the receiving end of his deadly rampage. That is why he is kinder to children or animals, who are of more innocent nature. When the young Akane, who had been tricked by Izaya into believing that Shizuo was an evil man out to murder her family, accused him of being an assassin, he didn't lift a finger on her. Shinra, who had been there as well, was already bracing himself for Shizuo's violent retaliation --but it never came. Instead, Shizuo gave her a reassuring smile, and lied through metaphorical gritted teeth(considering who it involved) that Izaya was just a good friend of his, and he only said that because they recently had a fight. With a playful wink, he left the perplexed Shinra and Akane, mentioning something about 'making up with him'. Shizuo was angry; very fucking pissed, in fact. However, he knew that the little girl's fears were genuine, so he was able to suppress that anger and put on a face that wouldn't scare her --well, suppress it until he finally finds that bastard Izaya, anyway. An appreciation for direct honesty also brings with it a distaste for people who trap their victims into an intricate labyrinth of lies and half-truths. Describes Izaya quite perfectly, doesn't it? This explains why he hated Izaya on first sight, and will continue to hate him no matter what the situation.
