[Izaya's POV]
It was the second day of signing and only one hour passed the time they began. Already though, Izaya wished he could go back to their hotel. Apparently there had been a delay in the weirdos because for some reason, almost every person that came up to him that day kept screaming his ears off, fangirling/boying, and having a jolly good time trying to touch him whenever he handed them their purchase. He faked a smile the whole time and sighed in relief when someone moderately normal came up to him.
It was some guy asking for a picture with him so he could give it to his girlfriend that was stuck in college. Sweet. Izaya mused to himself as he agreed, standing up and letting the guy come around the table to get his picture, posing with him. Izaya smiled brightly, not expecting a thing when the hand that was on his waist went somewhere it shouldn't have, making him give a very manly (in Izaya's opinion) yelp and hop away from him. The guy looked like he expected it and maybe a slap to the face, but he didn't get one. No, he got a full-un punch in the nose from an angry informant who was seething with a red face beside him before he said he was going on break and disappearing behind the curtain.
[Kasuka's POV]
The actor had seen the whole thing, already being suspicious of the guy when he'd put his hand on Izaya's waist instead of on his shoulder like most other fans did. Especially if the guy had a 'girlfriend' he would be giving the picture to. Kasuka cringed when he heard the yelp behind him, dropping the picture he'd been holding as he looked back to see Izaya looking completely mortified and punching the man in the face, who was quickly taken away by security. He bit his lip before he forced a smile and handed the woman in front of him her picture, excusing himself to the restroom before trotting behind the curtain to find his boyfriend.
There wasn't a lot of space for everyone, let alone for someone to hide, but this was Izaya. Izaya could blend in anywhere if he tried hard enough and it was making it awfully hard to spot him among the people that were helping set everything up and keep things in order. He finally spotted him near the back with his hand covering his face and Kasuka rushed over, setting a hand on the man's shoulder. Luckily Izaya wasn't crying, if he was then Kasuka would be hunting the bastard down, but he did look miserable when he uncovered his face to see who was beside him.
"Karuha, are you alright?" he asked, only using his fake name because of the small quarters. Anyone could probably hear them so, despite wanting to comfort the man properly, they had to act. Izaya shook his head quickly, his face still red and a frown on his face.
"No, why would I be okay after that guy grabbed my ass? It's sickening.." Izaya muttered, surprising Kasuka before he sat beside him, looping an arm around him loosely to see if it would help.
"I'm sorry I forgot to warn you about people like that.. Everyone was so nice yesterday-" "I know, Kasuka, I understand. I thought everyone would be like that too.. I already know humans well enough, I should have expected this without a warning." the informant admitted, sighing lightly as he relaxed in his seat. Kasuka gave him a small squeeze on the arm to get his attention and the ravenett leaned into him, glancing up at his boyfriend.
"I'm sure after that stunt they'll tell everyone no pictures allowed, so please don't worry about it too much. Even if they don't you could always say no, it's still up to you. And after this we don't have anymore signing to do, it's just us in Tokyo for a whole day, alright?" Kasuka whispered, watching Izaya nod lightly before he looked up at him again.
"Yeah, a whole day together. It sounds nice." Izaya agreed, glancing at the curtains before standing up. "We should get out there before they yell for us. The good fans still deserve to get what they came for." the informant said with a small smile. Kasuka nodded and stood up as well, getting back to their booth and sitting down, noticing that Izaya seemed to have calmed down a lot already, seeming confident again. He didn't smirk to himself about it but he did feel a sense of pride from being able to comfort the man, getting back to work as he kept an eye on his boyfriend.
The two finished the signing, only staying late for maybe half an hour to finish up the quickly dwindling line of fans waiting for them. They went back to the hotel not too long after that, Kasuka coddling the man the entire way to make him forget about earlier. Sure the same thing had happened to him, on a lot more occasions than he was comfortable with, but he'd never looked so horrified and awful about it as Izaya had. He almost wanted to ask him about it but dismissed the whole idea, not wanting for the other to get upset again thinking about it.
Instead, he just joked around like they normally did, Kasuka holding Izaya's hand tightly after a whole day of not being able to and when Izaya wasn't expecting it, he picked him up and spun him around the room once until he was laughing his head off. That may also have been from Kasuka tickling him, but hey, he wanted to see the man with a pure smile again.
After an hour the two settled down, Kasuka draping himself over his boyfriend for his own amusement as Izaya tried to get at least a little informant work done while they were there and had nothing better to do. "Kasukaaa, you're crushing me!" Izaya huffed underneath him, trying to roll him off and utterly failing, making Kasuka grin.
"Oh, please. I'm 8 more pounds than you, there's no way I could crush you." "It feels like you're crushing me." "It feels to me that you're a wonderful pillow." "Do you want your pillow to headbutt you off of him?" "You would never." *thunk* "Ooooww.. Fine, fine, fine, I'll get off. Now you have to let me feed you again when we go to dinner." "Stupid Heiwajima~"
