"Oi, flea," Shizuo called. "Food's ready." He heard movement from the other room and a brief ow before Izaya walked out rubbing his knee.

"How have you not memorized your study by now?" Shizuo asked as Izaya carefully sat down.

"I'm mostly on my computer in there," Izaya replied sharply, obviously still agitated about hitting his knee. "It's not like I go in there to read or anything."

Shizuo sighed as he placed Izaya's food in front of him. The info broker had been like this ever since Shinra told him Shizuo would be moving in. He would wake up and immediately go into his study, only coming out to eat and go back to bed.

Shizuo watched as Izaya carefully found his food and started eating. It had only been a few days and the blonde could tell Izaya's eyesight was getting worse.

'Shinra said he had at least a week,' Shizuo reminded himself as he ate his food. 'He still has a few more days.'

The two sat there in silence, only the subtle sounds of chewing could be heard. After about 10 minutes, Izaya stood up and found his way to the sink.

"I think I'll turn in early," he said after placing his dishes in the sink. "At least I've memorized my room." He threw a quick glare at Shizuo before finding his way to his room.

Shizuo sighed. 'Normally I'm the one who gets agitated.' Getting up, Shizuo walked to the sink and washed up the dishes.

'Guess there's not much left to do today,' he thought he as finished putting away the plates. 'I'll double check to make sure he didn't knock anything over.'

After checking Izaya's study, Shizuo headed upstairs to his room. He took a quick shower before heading to bed.

'I'll apologize to him in the morning. He may not like it, but he needs me. I am his aid after all.' Shizuo decided as he closed his eyes. As much as he hated Izaya, he did make him worry.

Everything was quiet as Shizuo drifted off to sleep. Nothing disturbed him until the morning when he heard Izaya calling out for him.
