Maybe and Because
Izaya was not jealous, nope, not at all, it's just that he doesn't like sharing his toys, specially to someone who will only break them, that's why he's frowning at the scene in front of him, it has nothing with the fact that Mikado is still smiling at the idiotic blonde even though he had been frowning up to now, or the fact that said blonde leaves the blue-eyed boy alone with so much ease as if he didn't notice the change of humor in the other, or if he did he didn't care; and Izaya is not jealous because he can't be, there's no way, he can't feel like that because that would mean he cares for the boy, and as a god he can't prefer one human to the others, even if he had grown fond of this one. Then again maybe he was, maybe he was jealous of Masaomi for monopolizing all of the blue-eyed's attention, maybe he was jealous of the fact that Mikado would still smile at Masaomi even when it was obvious that he was hurt, maybe he was angry that the blonde didn't seem to notice nor care that he's hurting the boy, maybe he cares, because maybe he likes Mikado and maybe there's more to that assumption that just Mikado being the leader of Dollars or reminding the informant of himself, maybe it also has to do with Mikado's deep blues or his charming smile or the fact that he hadn't seem angered or scared by him, the fact that he might have liked the other taking interest in him; not that Izaya would say anything about this, he's not supposed to care and can't interfere but the informant was starting to loose his will to stand idle by while he watches this scene repeat itself over and over and he knows that he won't be able to hold on much more and that he will do something totally out of character but then again, he might not care, not if it is to save his favorite human from breaking in the hands of the idiotic blonde that wasn't actually blonde, nope, not at all
He stands up and makes his way to the boy, who is sitting alone once again, decided to do something that has nothing to do with his plans for the first time but he doesn't find the strength to care, not this time, not about this one slip, because he knows, it's not a slip at all...
