....Shizu-chan. Don't tell me you've never held a puppy before.

[Dude, how have you lived.]

I'm always right, Shizu-chan. You and the rest of humanity will realize that one day.

[Egotistical, maybe, but Izaya totally has a point. He's very rarely wrong. And his assumptions of things aren't little assumptions.

He says it perkily though as opposed to how he'd usually say it- in such a serious tone.

At the sight of Shizuo's smile, Izaya smiles.]

I got you to smile. Hn. I like making you do that. It's nicer than the usual smiles you used to give me.

[He's quiet after that. And then...well.]

I want to apologize. Ah...in advance. If I do anything that makes you hate me again.
