fic
I'm writing epic long fic (by my standards) for the DRRR kink meme about Izaya and Shinichi because I love them and want all the stories about them and their epic snarky chatroom romance sex antics romance. Except nobody writes the stories about them so I have to do it myself.
Anyway. This is something that may wind up as part of it but probably won't because I'm bad at writing actual plot things happening. So we have a ficbit in which Shinichi is questioned on the whereabouts of one Orihara Izaya. And he is forced to admit that he isn't exactly sure. Gen. G rated.
Mostly I just wanted to write a Shinichi POV piece because those are some of my favourite bits of the novels and I wanted to see if I could get his voice.
[so not mine Shinichi how are you so perfect?]

Orihara Izaya? Now why would you be looking for him?
Ah, no. Don't get me wrong. It's hardly concern on my part. Curiosity, perhaps, although it's really no place of mine to ask. I'm well aware of how many enemies Orihara has and whether you're an enemy or friend, whether you wish him good or ill, that's no business of mine.
But where he is isn't exactly a simple question you know.
Protecting him? Me? Why would you think something like that? Ah, rumors and innuendo about us being thick as thieves. Of course. Yes, he does come here quite often. More than he needs to even. But I'm certainly not about to protect him.
Orihara Izaya doesn't need my protection. No more than I would need his. If he's hiding, I'm not sheltering him.
"So where is he?" you ask. Now this is embarrassing.
The thing is....
I don't know.
Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to say those three words? I am aware of almost every happening around here. You can disbelieve me as much as you'd like, but in the end it's the truth. I know all the quiet details that aren't seen on the surface. I'm not aware of the secrets of anyone's mind or heart, of course. No one can know those things save for the individuals themselves and it's not my place to pry into that. But the facts, the simple happenings, believe it or not when it comes to that I know most everything.
This I don't know.
It pains me every time I have to admit it. Worried? Now you're being fanciful again. I don't know how you can read any emotion at all from my statements, especially worry. If I'm feeling anything at the moment it's more like pure annoyance.
I don't like not knowing things. Orihara and I are two of a kind in that regard. So don't think my lack of knowledge is due to lack of trying. At the moment Orihara simply cannot be found.
It's frustrating.
"Let you know if I find anything out?" Ah, here we might have a problem.
No, of course I'm not protecting him. As I said, he doesn't need my protection and it's not my place to shelter him. But on the other side of things, it's also not my place to tell you where he might be. I'm an observer. I watch these events as they unfold. Once everything is said and done and you're looking for clarification, well, then I'll tell you whatever you'd like to know. Or at least the things I'm capable of telling you.
But until that happens, until everything is said and done, I won't be getting involved. It's not how I operate. You understand, don't you?
If you find me you'll make me tell? Well.
I'd like to see you try. On both counts.
