le-homme-de-cauchemar: Just a small, small fraction of all the times Shizuo shows that his -first- though is Izaya. *Chuckles* Shizuo’s Mind: If something weird happens - It’s Izaya. If something bad happens - It’s Izaya. If someone shows up at random - Izaya is behind it. If someone pulls a blade on him - Instant Izaya asociations. If he gets angry and can’t kill the person he’s angry at - Go beat up Izaya…. even if he hasn’t done anything wrong. I think that if a tsunami hit tokyo, pigs started to fly, or any act of god happened, his mind would go to Izaya. I wonder if he would end up beating up anyone who orders Otori too… *Chuckles* The Conclution: The main theme in Shizuo’s mind is hos constant obsession with Izaya. The Random Info: Because Shizuo supresses his emotions to the point he has no clue -what- he feels, other than anger….would it not be possible that whenever he feels any strong emotion towards someone, even attraction…especially attraction (as they share similar physical traits as with hate/anger).. he could misinterprent it… And he had zero reasons to dislike Izaya, yet he jumped to hate at first sight. Izaya also states that he once did try to Love Shizuo too…and he constantly tries to talk him out of attacking him. I have only seen him attack Shizuo out of self defence, (and to defend his humans) and very rarely at that. Usually he avoids fighting back like the plague… One really COULD speculate on their relative emotions here. *Chuckles* Especially considering the fact that Izaya’s mental state pertaining to social concepts is a bit…insane. I mean… I’m pretty sure drugging that guy he had doing detective work for him and putting him in a suitcase, then having him taken to the airport, when said guy needed to go there anyway…was a case of a friendly practical joke. (Everything I can see, he really likes that guy, tho he has a funny way of showing it.) I think that it is fair to say that as long as Izaya tries to beat you up personally, teases you, and get you into (relativly) harmless, scary situations, he likes you. If he didn’t, he would destroy your life, like he did with Nakama. And he would have no problems gettingnyour friends and familly involved. So all inn all… he does seem to like Shizuo. He IS playing with him, and he loves games. He behaves entirely different with those very, very few that he dislikes. -- source link
