“I’m sure you must be really busy, but, uh… I had some stuff I wanted to discuss. “I hope I’m not intruding,” you let out a strained laugh, fixating on the soles of your shoes. After a moment of deliberation, your attention returns to him, and you bow your head. Eyes shifting to every wall, your posture remaining stiff as you remain focused on nothing in particular. He notes how you scrutinize your surroundings. You do as he instructs, an uncertain smile on your face. Not one to stand in silence for long, he extends an enthusiastic greeting. You must not have been expecting such a swift response, as a cute gasp leaves your lips. When he swings the door wide open, Izaya’s greeted by the sight of you. Playing the indifferent game is growing tiresome. Calling over to come in, or answering the door himself…? He decides on the latter. The door was unlocked in advance, but the excitement in his veins is making it difficult to decide on what approach to use. Izaya already anticipated having a most prized visitor paying him a visit. Any second now, he just needs to be patient… Izaya busies himself with boiling the appropriate amount of water. There’s a spring in his every step as he walks, fingers running over a variety of untouched teas. He stands from the leather chair behind his desk, stretches, and makes for the kitchenette. One sight in particular catches his attention, his lips quirking into a self-satisfied smirk. Izaya’s eyes flicker to the live feed coming in from outside his apartment.
These people, deep as their pockets may be, occupy an insignificant role at the time.
From a businessman wanting to know if the wife in his loveless marriage is cheating on him as he suspects, to the yakuza seeking information on a rival group that has been infringing on their territory. Message after message flooding in, notifications going ignored after a brief glance. Izaya’s second monitor is a testimony to that. Not when most of his clientele operate under the cover of night, crawling out from their day jobs and towards him. This isn’t the time of day that Izaya would normally close his services. Warnings: izaya orihara counts as a warning if im being honest.
