[Kasuka's POV]
Kasuka settled down again as Izaya wrapped himself around his boyfriend's arm, making it impossible to move without disrupting him and therefore making it completely useless to the actor. He felt Izaya press into his side and rest his head on his shoulder, making him sigh softly despite how sweet the gesture was.
For the last day and a half Izaya had been acting differently, asking for hugs and kisses more often and pressing against him whenever he could. And while Kasuka loved every moment of it, it was almost worrying. The ravenett hadn't been answering his calls the day before yesterday until some time in the late evening and even when he asked what had happened for him to ignore the other so long, he hadn't gotten an answer.
Kasuka had just assumed it was something work related and let it slide at the time, but now with him acting even more clingy and still not giving a reason to why, the sweet treatment almost made Kasuka feel suffocated. He felt Izaya muzzle into his shoulder and he ran a hand through his hair, finally feeling irritated by it. "Izaya, are you alright?" he asked softly, still loving then other too much to let him think he was doing something wrong.
And Kasuka personally knew that if he reprimanded him for giving affection then he wouldn't be getting any more for a good amount of time.
The informant just looked up at him, slightly confused before he nodded and went back to snuggling him. "Of course I'm alright. Why do you ask?" He murmured, looking perfectly content where he was. Kasuka almost didn't want to ask and disturb that peace but he wanted an answer.
"No real reason. You just seem really.. touchy lately." he improvised, not wanting to use the word 'clingy' either. The actor waited patiently for Izaya to do something but it was almost like he'd ignored him, not answering to the comment and just relaxing against him again. The ravenett waited a moment before trying again. "Did something happen the other day when I called? You sounded really tired and-"
"Kasuka, please. I'm trying to say thank you, that's all..." Izaya blurted out, effectively making the actor go quiet next to him. Kasuka was frozen for a second before he nodded, trying to piece together what he could be thanking him for. He already thanked me for taking care of him, so it probably isn't that.. I took him out for dinner the other night, but I teased him the whole time so I doubt it... We haven't really done anything else. "I'm saying thank you for being with me, so don't read too much into it." Izaya announced again, making Kasuka chuckle from the recurring thought that he could sometimes read his mind. I guess it's only fair though. I can read him pretty well when I need to.
"You don't need to thank me for that though. I'm still trying to thank you for saying yes when you found out." It was true. He'd always be looking at things to try and buy for Izaya, or maybe even make himself if it seemed doable and like something that he would enjoy. Kasuka almost always backed out though, never fully knowing if the man would even like it or not. It was a mystery that always made him second-guess what he was thinking about getting, imagining Izaya being too nice to his significant other to just say he didn't like it, then accepting it with a smile before throwing it away somewhere.
Now that he thought about it, he hadn't seen those alpacas he'd won Izaya since their trip. "Hey Izaya, you know when we went to the festival?"
"Un."
"What did you do with those alpacas?" the actor asked, hoping Izaya really hadn't thrown them away like he thought. His boyfriend had seemed so happy when he got them too, it hurt to just think of Izaya faking it. But he didn't need to worry, Izaya thought for a second before lighting up again and letting go of his arm.
"I put one upstairs in my closet so Namie wouldn't find it. And the other one's in my bed-side table, since it fits." he explained, standing up without a second thought and heading upstairs, most likely to grab said alpaca. Kasuka just stayed where he was, smiling to himself softly. At least he liked those. The actor perked up again when he came down with one of them in his hands, laying down on the couch and resting his head in Kasuka's lap while he held it.
"Hey Kasuka, is it normal for humans to name these things? Because I haven't given them one." Izaya muttered beside him, forcing Kasuka to hold in a small laugh.
"Yeah, they usually do but you don't need to. It's mostly just for those who want to play with them a lot." the actor hummed, glancing at the plushie before leaning his head back and relaxing while they could. The two had to go to work again the next day, and with things still being hectic from lost time and mixed up schedules, they had a lot to look forward to one set for about the next week.
"Hm.. Well, I don't plan on 'playing' with them, but I wouldn't mind thinking of names for them." Izaya noted, rolling over so he was facing Kasuka's stomach instead of the TV. They hadn't turned it on before, just cuddling and having small chats, so he wouldn't miss a thing. Kasuka stayed quiet while he listened to his boyfriend hum, shifting every once in a while as he thought. "I got it. I'll name this one Bonnie, and the purple one Clyde." the informant finally announced, getting a small fit of laughter out of the actor he was laying on.
"You're referring to your alpaca-self as Bonnie now?" "Who said I was the green one?" "I just thought you were. Why are you the purple one, then?" "I look awful in green, Kasuka.." "Ah."
Chapter 26.
Sooo, this is another filler and I'm sorry it's so shitty but we ran out of coffee at my house and I need that shit to function.
By 9 am this morning I already started tripping over stuff and I feel like I'm going to fall asleep any minute.
I'll probably come back tomorrow and fix any mistakes I find in this, hopefully having some coffee by then if we get to the store, and I hope I have a better chapter for you guys then too.
I hope you all liked this chapter, at least a little. Favorite, follow and review to see more!
