Title: Come Back To Me, part 18 of ?
Fandom: Durarara!!
Characters: Izaya, Shizuo, Tsugaru
Prompt: Old Big Bang
Izaya was still sitting on the couch, one leg crossed over the other and leaning back in a rather relaxed posture. It was pretty clear now that the flea had not planned on leaving until Shizuo came back, and might not be done collecting the information he wanted yet. He smiled over at the pair when Shizuo came in carrying Tsugaru.
“Oh, it appears little Tsu-chan is awake,” the raven cooed, eyes daring Shizuo to try anything, knowing he wouldn’t with the boy clutched in his care.
“And you know what the means, flea. You leave. Now,” Shizuo responded, eyes narrowing over the child’s head at him, amber eyes only serving to strengthen the glare with their intensity.
“And we were having such a lovely conversation,” Izaya sighed, smirk never leaving his face.
“Yeah. If that’s what you want to call it. Now go,” the phrases were short, laden with the anger that Shizuo wanted to unleash on his enemy and wouldn’t. It seemed the boy was a very good neutralizing agent. All he had to do was sit there in Shizuo’s arm with his hands even lightly clutching Shizuo’s shirt and the blonde wouldn’t do anything that might harm the boy.
“How about I treat the two of you to dinner?” Izaya asked, the offer seeming innocent enough in its delivery.
“And why the- Why would you want to take us to dinner? What’s in it for you, flea?” Shizuo growled.
So the little brat even got him to stop swearing now? Izaya would allow no trace of his annoyance to cross his face, however, settling with an easy smile.
“How long have you been not working, ne? Surely getting back to Japan was pricey, and I know from earlier in Shinra’s apartment that you don’t start working again until tomorrow. You must be low on your funds, and so I’m only trying to help out..,” he said, splaying his hands out and shrugged. “And, it would give me a chance to talk to little Tsu-chan under his daddy’s careful eye. Surely as long as you’re around you’d be okay with that?”
“Why do you want to talk to him?” he demanded, immediately pulling the child back far enough away, once more putting himself between the two. Tsugaru peered out from behind his father, eyes curious but still wary of the other.
“He’s the son of a long time acquaintance who I’m just meeting. I’m sure he’s very interesting to talk to!” Izaya responded with a smile. And, of course, children tended to be a lot looser about giving away information than their parents. He might get more out of the child than even his blackmail was getting out of Shizuo. The blonde didn’t look convinced of the idea, however.
“Come on, Shizu-chan~ I’ll take you wherever you want to go. Tsugaru can even pick the restaurant.”
“… Fine.” Shizuo responded. He couldn’t deny that it would certainly get them through until he was paid again… And it would get the flea out of his apartment.
“Alright then! Where does Tsu-chan want to go~?”
