I really like this song. :D
Well, I think you can save this beast.
.
Izaya saves Shizuo's life exactly three times.
.
The first is completely accidental and, at the time, he had regretted it so completely that it had made his stomach go sour. It had been during the time that Shizuo had started taking odd jobs, clerks and cooks and servers- Izaya taking a certain sadistic kind of pleasure from walking by the window, pausing long enough for Shizuo to see him, and listening to the ensuing damage- the sounds of shouting, of the door flinging open, and the sound of footsteps. Only then did he run.
Getting a rise out of Shizuo- it's fun.
That day they'd broken seven vending machines, five street signs, and a motorcycle. Inevitably, Izaya had gotten away unscathed. Only later, once he was safe in his own apartment with a hot cup of tea and his laptop warm at his side did he learn of the gas leak. The lit stove. The explosion.
.
The second time is mostly on accident.
The thing is, Shizuo may be a monster, but he isn't invincible.

The third time is most definitely not an accident.
After the second time, Izaya had made it his business to keep an eye on Shizuo. He knows everything, the jobs he takes, the money he earns, even what times he visits that famous brother of his. Call it a mild obsession, but Izaya is curious, because Shizuo is almost an investment himself.
He finds out minutes before it happens, and by the time he gets there Shizuo has a worrying amount of holes in him, another three guns trained on him, and Tom is tied to a chair. Shizuo is coughing blood onto the floor, a man's boot pressing his cheek into the linoleum.
Izaya doesn't like guns much. He doesn't like them because they're impersonal- because a human's best moment in life is that second before their heart stops, and Izaya likes to see that moment. That life flicker out. It's almost his duty, to witness that flutter of fearloathingacceptance that passes through those telling windows

And Izaya would totally use that reason. >3> Underlying meaning, perhaps~?~
