Story: Iris, Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I don't own Durarara!/DRRR!

Please note; I started this story more for practice in preparation for another even more serious one that I've started, called Hope of Morning, which deals with similar content, just with more of his real past and struggles he'd 'went through', as well darker themes(with the add-on of abuse and amnesia), and it's became a very personal fanfiction to me, and one of the only ones I'm truly 100% proud of xD

I also have another story out, called "Late Night Nostalgia' which is a Durarara! one shot, and kind of an introduction story of sorts to this one, with Shizuo and Izaya, regarding their mutual hate for one another.

All I'm saying is that this story holds no complete base to the original series, because Izaya doesn't believe in the afterlife, and is afraid of death more than anything(which In the other one, I was still able to explain that even he, after nearly encouraging people "to kill themselves"("do what they think they want to do"), he was just as liable as them under the right amount of despair. However, with all that said, if you all want me go back and fix this to be more according with the reality of being Izaya and explaining more, then I'd be glad to. In fact, that might even be fun, ne~?

Ever since Mikado had offered his friendship to Izaya, that guy had honestly been following him around a lot, and he always seemed to show up at the weirdest of times. Anri was extremely suspicious of him, but he made sure to tell her that she didn't have to worry, because he wasn't there to cause any harm. He wanted to trust Izaya enough to believe that he wasn't.

And, either way, it wasn't as though he minded, but... he couldn't help but wonder if Izaya actually didn't have anything better to do than be around him. Weren't him and Shinra friends...? Surely, he had some other friends, right...?

"Izaya-san, I was wondering... Why do you keep following me around...? I-I don't mind it or anything! But I thought Kishitani-san was your friend too...?"

A glance.

"Yeah, he is, at least I think of him as one, but he's too busy to 'spend time' with someone like me, if you get my drift. Besides... I was going planning to have fun trying to annoy you, so you'd admit you'd do better off as a simple acquaintance of mine... Better yet maybe you'd end up hating me. To be honest, that's the only reason I'm even here~"

Izaya briefly seemed to avert his gaze. No, it was the only logical reason, but the only other 'reason' he was doing this was to 'fill of the silence', considering Namie was off on 'vacation', and nobody at all was at the work place. He was currently 'spiting the silence' and didn't want to be there, so he wasn't. Not that he'd say or admit all that, of course.

"Just so you know, Izaya-san, that's not gonna happen." Mikado said suddenly.

And their gazes then colided, and pale blue met auburn.

"Oh?" Izaya raised an eyebrow, smirking wryly.

"You can't make me hate you. I won't let it happen." Mikado seemed oddly... sure about that, and Izaya didn't seem to be convinced, but he was intrigued by the boy's confidence in his own words to say the least...

And, to be 'honest' with himself, Mikado had just got that much more interesting to him.

How ironic...

~ End of Chapter

A/N: I know it wasn't a lot, and I'm truely sorry. A lot of things have been going on, and I have so many stories on a hiatus status right now that it's not even funny. I've been spending some time trying to write that other Izaya fanfiction, and I'm about to go through and a couple Hetalia fanfictions that I was working on about six months back and still have not finished. Some of my stories have not been updated for up to year or so; yeah, that's how bad it is... xD T^T

I hate it, but, being me, it takes some serious time to get some inspiration for me at times, no matter how much I stress about it.

PS: If there's anyone here at all apposed to this becoming an Izakado(IzayaxMikado) fanfiction, after all, speak up. I mean, Kururi and Mairu are an official femalexfemale pairing, so it'd be kind of funny to have sort of 'like brother like sister' concept going on like that. I'm not used to writing pairing fanfictions with Izaya, though eventually I want to write an IzaNami. But I don't mind trying at Izakado, really. It's just I saw in the comments that several people wanted it. Let me know, alright~? But, I'll tell you before hand, I'm not good at writing extremely graphic or M/R rated stuff, so this will remain at a T rating, either way.
