[Kasuka's POV]

The short ravenett waited until Kobayashi sat beside him, after asking him if he'd wanted coffee or tea or anything to eat, and finally looked at her with open interest. At work there could be cameras everywhere, along with fans that got a job in the studio, so he always had to be careful about what he did. Now, there was no one watching him and there wouldn't be anyone snooping around for his co-star yet. He hoped..

Kasuka watched his co-star quietly tidy things up, seeing the apprehension on her face easily and wondering if he might have been wrong after all. There were cases where people on completely different continents looked like one another, yet they never met and never spoke and never knew of each other, so this could be the case... But those eyes; they were his sign that he was right. He didn't believe for a damn minute that she couldn't see in front of her face without contacts or that she would just choose to wear bright red ones for the hell of it, especially when she was shy and wouldn't want to attract attention to herself. It didn't add up, but if he turned out to be wrong he could at least say in his head that he was fully justified to think she wasn't herself.

"Kobayashi-san, how have you been feeling? It surprised me when Watane-san had to tell me himself I wouldn't have someone to practice with." he announced, letting out a small tone of betrayal. They had worked together non-stop since the second day on set and then suddenly she left. In any normal case someone would feel guilty for that, but when he watched her, her eyes just narrowed a bit and she smiled at him.

"Sorry to worry you, Hanejima-san. I just didn't want to be a bother when you had already helped me with my outfit." she giggled, making him nod and look around the apartment as he thought of what else he could find fault in. He hoped his face was as blank as it usually was, then she wouldn't question why he was so curious about everything, more than the average guest.

"I wouldn't have been bothered. You're my co-star, we look out for each other." he muttered, then just decided to call out his first fault. "Kobayashi-san, you have a lovely home. I never expected this as what people live in when they just start acting." His golden eyes moved to catch what she did again but looked a bit passed her, like he was still admiring her home.

And unlike what he expected, she frowned slightly. "It's a lot cheaper than it looks, definetly.. When my real-estate agent suggested this I thought she was insane. Turns out the guy that lived here before was a total creep, so the over-all value dropped in this building." she explained quietly, glancing at her hands and fidgeting with her script. "It's pretty big for only one person to live in though, don't you think?" she asked, turning to him with a shy grin.

Seriously? You said you were what, 19? No nineteen year old would get a real estate agent without there parents coming along and telling them 'yes' or 'no', not even mine, you're digging yourself a hole here.

The actor just nodded dully, looking down at the script as he thought to himself. He wanted the truth, yes. He would really want the informant that taunts his brother all the time to be the one sitting next to him now, definetly. But if this really was Izaya it almost scared him how easily he could come off as a woman, with a whole other life and story and still try to come up with something on the spot like this with someone he knew sitting right there next to him, ready to be lied to. And even if Kasuka was all the ready to be lied to, he couldn't just sit back and play the gullible part. He couldn't stop himself from thinking. And that's what put him in this situation to begin with.

"Ah, I see. It must be nice to get such a deal on this place, but.." he trailed off, giving a small frown as he furrowed his brows. This caught his company's attention, noticing her lean in a bit even without looking at her.

"But what?" Kobayashi whined, making him stop himself from blushing. Whether she was Kobayashi-san or Izaya-kun, that was fucking cute! The actor gave a short huff and looked at her, back to his normal expression.

"Nothing. I just heard a lot about this area being dangerous.. Gangs, murderers, suicides, the Yakuza... It all sounds like too much to be around for a girl living on her own." Kasuka dragged on, watching as she shifted uncomfortably where she was, just nodding to what he said and grabbing her cup of coffee from the table, sipping it before she tried to speak. Kasuka cut her off.

"But that's never been hard to deal with as Izaya, hasn't it?" And if that slight look of failure in her eyes admitted anything, he knew he'd hit the nail on the head.

It's a pleasure to formally meet you, Izaya-kun~

Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyy, chapter 10 and Kasuka being a 5-star detective!

Now, just because Kasuka knows and Izaya is busted doesn't mean that this is over. They still aren't together yet..

And that's like the whole point!

So, this will be continuing, I'm not sure for how long, until they have a happy ending...

Even if there may be some angst thrown in there. No story is complete without angst.

So review and tell me how you think Izaya should act, anything you just want to see in general from these two-

Keep telling me what you guys think of their shipping-stats (who's the cuddler, who's a fluffy romantic, etc..)

I can fit as many head-cannons in here as you guys allow, so keep 'em coming!

I hope you enjoyed! Like and follow to see more, and review to let me know what you think!
