12 - Mutual Love

[has_signed_on]

[Izaya's sitting against the Mansion's front doors, and most noticeably he's switched out his trademark jacket for one much less obvious. He doesn't seem too concerned with anything at the moment and he very much takes his time in fishing out his communicator and switching it on.

It's in video for greater chance of seeing your face.]

So.

Anyone know how long it's been since this started?

Do you need help? [Worried, you are one of his friends.]

video;

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

Actually...yeah. I could go for that. [As men are too manly about directly asking for help.]

video --> action;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

Okay. Hang on.

[It'll only take him a few minutes to get down there.]

video --> action;

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

[Even if you're not paying attention anymore, Yuu.]

Aikawa? Don't let anyone catch you. [Before I can.]

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

I know.

[He grabs his pry bar and leaves the feed on while he heads downstairs. Just in case.]

[Izaya doesn't say anything else, mostly because he sets the comm unit down. Because he's busy waiting~]

action;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[And then a wild Yuu approaches. He is on edge and anxious, but he will do pretty much anything for his bros.

Although now that he's here, he's not really sure what to do for Izaya...]

Um...can you get up? We should go somewhere else. [Somewhere where it's easier to hide.]

action;

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

Give me a hand and we'll find out? [He holds out a hand, the other is busy covering his side.]

action;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[Yuu does so without hesitation, grasping Izaya's hand and helping to pull him to his feet.]

action; all keywords apply

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

[Izaya is kind of slow in standing up, thus giving him time to talk.]

You know, I was thinking while I was here...I think I was in love with you once.

action;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[Yuu is so surprised he lets go of Izaya's hand abruptly. Then he makes a grab for it, trying not to let him fall over again.]

W-what?!

action;

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

Yeah. But now I'm more in love with the thought of seeing you dead.

[And it's great that Yuu's holding onto him again. Izaya can try and pull him forward and off balance.]

action;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[As confused as Yuu is right now, it's not hard. He stumbles toward Izaya, dropping the pry bar in his hand.]

action;

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

[Izaya ditches the hand holding in favor of grabbing onto the back of Yuu's jacket. His previously useless hand seems to have been concealing his knife rather than protecting his side, and, oh look, that knife seems to be quite open.

That blade is very close to Yuu's face.]

If you want to run, you can try that. But if you want to give up, that's fine too.

action;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[Yuu is frozen, staring at Izaya in shocked silence. After several rather loud heartbeats, he finally moves, jerking away from the blade, though he can't get too far with the way Izaya's holding onto his jacket.]

I-Izaya....

action;

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

Yuu? [The smile isn't fading from his face as he takes advantage of Yuu's shock to keep dragging him around the room and indefinitely away from that pry bar.]

I'm not one of your choices. [The knife is flicked open and closed several times in a motion too well practiced.]

action;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[Yuu finally remembers how to move his limbs and manages to jerk away from Izaya.

Guess which option he's going to pick?

Yep, he runs.]

action;

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

[So Izaya's got a knife. Which is fine, great, and he loves it. But at this point in the game he's also had the forethought to grab a few more.

Which he's now throwing at Yuu.

Mostly to kindly direct him towards the stairs.]

action;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[laskdfjdsf Yuu gets one of those knives in the arm as he's trying to get that pry bar back and yeah. Looks like it'll be the stairs after all.]

action;

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

[Excellent choice, Yuu. Izaya's not far behind him, though his path deviates a little.

You know. When he decides to run up the stair railing, jump up to the top bar and swing himself up the the first floor.]

action;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[omfg Izaya, you are a beast.

Yuu stops two-thirds of the way up the flight, then backs down a couple steps.]

action;

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

[Now above him, Izaya skips down the first few steps.]

Careful, Aikawa~! You might fall.

action;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[Yuu keeps retreating and takes a deep breath.]

Why...why do you want to kill me?

action;

[has-signed-on.livejournal.com]

I don't get anything for that great show I put on? [Izaya oh so casually decides he's going to sit on the railing now.]

But I guess the real answer is that I want to know what you look like when you die!

action;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[Yuu just can't wrap his mind around whether or not that sentiment is totally event-induced or not. Not right now anyway. He's too busy sprinting back down the stairs now.]
