(no subject)

Who: Shizuo, Zelda, Zelos
Where: Ordo 3
When: March 3rd, not long after Zelda spoke with Izaya
Style: I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH
Status: Semi-closed, if people would have a reason to be there then that's cool I guess

Zelda had grown angry again on her way home from the park. Sure, she didn't think that Izaya was a monster, but she also didn't think that he was necessarily a good person. Not anymore, at least. Oh, she would accept him if Shizuo seemed happy and if he never did something like that to Sola again, but she didn't like it. The way everything had fallen into place for him was absolutely maddening and it took a great deal of her willpower to not attempt to throw it all into chaos.

He deserved it, but Shizuo didn't. She sighed heavily as she got close to her house, wondering if Zelos was up yet.

When Zelda didn't respond, Shizuo felt as though he should. But he couldn't think of anything constructive to add, and he wasn't really curious about the kind of details that could result from a topic like that. So he settled on saying, "Oh."

Eesh, tough crowd! Zelos gets up again, stretching exaggeratedly. Time for a well placed subject change! "Anything you'd like to actually do for your birthday, Zelda-hunny? We can totally make it happen."

"No, this is quite enough. I appreciate the offer, though! I will probably just finish the book I was reading on human anatomy and physiology and go to bed." She looks thrilled with the idea. Muraki had asked her to help in the clinic occasionally. Her type of healing didn't require medical knowledge, but she hated to feel ignorant anyway.

"I guess I'll get going, then. Let me just grab my things." He left his piece of cake on the table and headed to what was his room for a brief period of time. All he really had to take was his clothes and a couple of miscellaneous things. Luckily he had kept the bag he had carried them in originally, and it was easy to repack.

By the time Shizuo had finished packing, Zelos had wandered off again. Zelda was ready to see him off with his portion of the cake. She looked a little wistful, but not overtly upset.

"All ready?"

"Yeah," Shizuo replied, feeling uncomfortable. He planned on this being goodbye for a while. He couldn't say that, because he didn't want to hurt Zelda, and that made it even more difficult. He set down his bag and regarded Zelda for a moment. Then, even though it was definitely awkward and embarrassing, he hugged her - briefly.

"Happy birthday," he said as he let her go.

She kept her arms at her sides as he hugged her, just then realizing that she knew what was going on. The air around Shizuo was one that Zelda was very familiar with; the stoic stance of someone saying goodbye for someone else's sake. Because they would be better off that way.

Is this how Link had felt when she sent him away? Totally paralyzed and unable to protest, but desperate to stop what was happening? She would never know now. She certainly didn't have the right to ask Shizuo to stop, it would be beyond hypocritical of her. She didn't say another word, not trusting her voice.

She just smiled.

Shizuo wanted to say a lot of things. He wanted to tell Zelda to take care of herself and to stay away from anyone who could hurt her. He wanted to let her know that even though he wasn't going to be around her, that she could always ask for help, especially if she needed him to beat someone up. He even wanted to promise that he'd be able to spend time with her again some day - but that was selfish and he wasn't sure if he could keep that promise.

Relationships came with sacrifices, and this was a big one. But Shizuo had made a choice.

He couldn't say the word goodbye, though. He returned Zelda's smile, and managed to do a decent job of it, because he tried hard. Then he gathered his bag and the cake, and settled on saying, "See ya."

"See you later, Shizuo." She raised her hand in a wave, then opened the door from him. She was upset, but resigned to it. She probably deserved to fully understand how it felt from this end.

Shizuo walked out without taking a look back, and headed back to his apartment.
zelda_hylia: (If we meet again...)

Zelda closed the door quietly and went up to her room without another word.

Twenty minutes later, Zelos knocked gently on Zelda's door, tea tray in hand with a calming brew. He'd gotten that something deeper was going on here, hence why he'd locked Shizuo in to visiting again the next weekend. He could understand a jealous partner, but Shizuo distancing himself from a clearly mutual friendship... well, Zelos couldn't care less about Shizuo's reasons, he just hated to see Zelda upset.
