To Touch The Sky [22/?]

“At least I have you.”
A nose twitched, making Izaya freeze for a moment, but it settled again. Those big eyes settled on him once more, innocent and nonjudgmental.
“Don’t worry, I love you no matter what.” Izaya placed a few fingers to his chest. “You’ll always have a special place in my cold, congested heart. But everyone else is avoiding me like… well, like the plague…”
A pair of ears seemed to perk up. Izaya quickly thought of a cover.
“Ah, I mean… well, you won’t catch it! Because I’m almost better, see?” Izaya snorted loudly. “See? My nose is almost cleared up, I can taste things again!”
A head turned away, then back to him, inspecting him once over as if in evaluation. Izaya stayed perfectly still throughout. A blink.
“What am I doing,” Izaya scoffed, turning his gaze to the sidewalk and hanging his head. “For goodness sake, I’m talking to a cat…”
‘Mrow~’
Izaya couldn’t help but stare at it, watching the creature regard him with indifference, curiosity, and kindness all in one. Izaya sat up a little and patted his thigh, unfolding his legs until they were almost crossed. It took a good long moment of coaxing the cat - he used high-pitched sweet nothings (which sounded horrible in a voice coated thickly with sick), made kissing noises, tried demanding, then went back to nearly begging. Finally, the cat stood off its haunches and hopped into his lap.
A warm smile crept to his face as, with caution, he started to stroke its mottled neck. Its purr reverberated into his chest and stomach. That pair of bright brown eyes came up to scan him over, and it was with a startling revelation and a catch in his throat that Izaya realized who those eyes reminded him of.

Shizuo ran a hand through his hair as he stalked around Ikebukuro. He was trying to avoid Izaya by any means necessary, though he knew that, at some point, Izaya would corner him, annoy him, badger him about his recent odd behavior. Shizuo’s mind worked through a whirlwind of excuses, only for each one to come up short.
Not to mention Shizuo was a terrible liar.
And trying to tell a blatant lie to the man most likely the King of Deception - it wouldn’t end well. He could see the twinkle in Izaya’s eyes now, even as he thought about it, how Izaya would curl the tips of his mouth into a smirk and make stab after stab with the words that jumped from his tongue. Shizuo would not only never get away with it, but he’d never hear the end of it.
Shizuo tried making his way into a more secluded part of the city, with hopes that it wasn’t somewhere Izaya normally visited. But of course, Shizuo had to be wrong.
He froze at the sight he saw before him: Izaya, with his back to the wall, holding a cat before his face. They seemed to be having some sort of staring contest, only for Izaya to blink and burst into laughter.
“Haha! Neko-chan won this time!~” Though the cat only stared at him, unable to understand what was going on, and simply let Izaya handle it. Izaya brought it closer and touched his nose to the cat’s, closing his eyes and bearing a smile Shizuo thought he’d never see. Shizuo slowly pressed his body closer to the wall nearest him, hoping to slip away without notice and hoping Izaya couldn’t hear the deafening thump thump thump in his ears.
Izaya sneezed suddenly, having enough foresight to turn away from the cat for a moment. He sniffed and wiped his nose on his sleeve.
“Neko-chan, I really hope I’m not allergic to you.”
Neko-chan mewled and pawed at the fur on his jacket.
The pounding in his chest, the heat rising to his cheeks, the labored breathing, dizziness - it was dangerous. Shizuo managed to peel himself around the wall and, once he was out of Izaya’s sight, backed away a few meters. Fumbling in his pockets, Shizuo found his cellphone and prayed that someone would answer.
“Shizuo! What’s up?”
“Shinra…”
Shizuo peeked over, but Izaya seemed to be gone now. The cat sat in his wake and looked on after him. He breathed a short sigh of relief and doubled over a little.
“I think I’m having a heart attack.”

Shinra: "Shizuo, you're too young to have a heart attack!" Shizuo: "I bet it's the medication." Shinra: "...But I never gave you any medication."
