discedo | 05 [ACCIDENTAL VIDEO/ACTION]

[ VIDEO ]

[ The camera flickers on when Shizuo seems to be rolling out of bed.

Half-asleep, he drags his face off of his pillow and grunts as he moves to sit up groggily, reaching up to scratch at his chest and yawn.

It takes him a few moments to realize that he's wading in the sweatpants he had worn to bed, secured dangerously loose around pale hips on do not belong to him. Blinking hard, eyes sensitive to the light, he rubs at them in disbelief and then stares at his hands.

And stares. ] What... [ Annnd stares. ] The... fuck...? [ Startled to high hell, he's picking up the recording communicator and staring into the screen, hoping to catch a glimpse of his reflection. His eyes widen and he nearly drops the thing.

The image shakes and it's obvious he's running, slamming the bathroom door open. And then he drops it when he sees Izaya staring back at him, chest rising and falling as he tries to remember how to breathe properly. ]

WHAT THE FUCK?!

[ ACTION ]

[ About thirty minutes later Shizuo regains some semblance of calm.

Meaning, he hasn't calmed down at all and is currently stomping down the stairwell, tugging firmly on the drawstrings of his sweatpants, ready to give that flea a piece of his mind. Because when something went wrong, when situations got to the point where they were out of control, Izaya was the culprit.

Standing in front of Latimir 404, directly a floor down from his apartment, Shizuo pitches his leg back and goes to kick the door down. His toe meet the base of the door - really all he'd need to do normally was tap it and it'd buckle in - and stops.

Immediately, he drops to take a knee, holding his foot in his hand with a pained sound he hasn't heard himself make in months.

Knock knock, Izaya, your body has returned home.

Whoa, careful, yeah? [ He leans over to pat Shizuo's shoulder. ]

It's complicated, y'know. There was a war and he lost, so he had to pay for it. It's not like I think he wanted to get rid of me or anything.

Then you stop losing and start fucking winning! [ Logic. ]

That's what I wanted to say when it happened. Except, y'know, in Chinese.

I'd fight to my death for someone as important as a brother.

You're a good guy, Shizuo.

[ Huff. ] Yeah well. Only when it counts.

Yeah? I dunno if I buy that.

You don't gotta believe me.

I believe what people do, not what they say.

I've done bad things.

Why?

'Cause I got mad.

You can't control it, can you?

... Not as much as I should be able to...

I know there's something you can say about being in control and stuff, but some things are just the way they are because they are. I guess I mean you can't hold yourself responsible for every single thing.

Every single thing I do is 'cause I did it. That makes it my fault. [ Shizuo logic. ]

Sorry, that seems like, super backwards to me. Also it makes it sound like everything you do is bad.

I said you don't gotta believe me!

Yeah? Which is better, if I like you or if I believe you?

... [ Oh god. How can he answer something like that. ] That's... the first one obviously...

Good. That's how things are.

Okay, I get it.

All right. That's good. I don't want you thinking we're not friends or anything weird like that.

I wouldn't ever think that.

[ He nods. ] Glad to hear it.

So, is there something I can do to help now?
