[Izaya's POV]

Izaya and Kasuka sat in the limo as they were driven to their destination, Izaya still having no idea where they were going. He knew Kasuka got tickets of some kind for them, 'casually' asking him questions to get information he probably needed to do it, but he hadn't looked up what he'd been doing. Yes, the informant could find out very quickly what they were going to do or at least make an educated guess from anything he could find on a hacked data base, but he surprised himself with the succeeding effort he'd made to keep this like a normal relationship.

Not a relationship between an actor and an information broker, a normal relationship like people would have when dating through school. Probably like dating through college, because they both had way too much money for it to be regular school... Moving on. Kasuka had taken to teaching him mundane things and making him feel more human than he believed himself to be, after all, giving him the excuse that it would let him connect with his humans better - so why not try and give back by not sneaking around his boyfriend?

All he knew was that he had a suitcase in the back along with Kasuka's and they were going to be spending the weekend together somewhere with no work permitted for either of them. He'd brought his laptop anyway of course, but he could just tell him it was to play games if something happened to one of their plans.

He was currently laying down on the seats with his head in Kasuka's lap, half asleep as his boyfriend stroked his cheek with his thumb. The informant could tell he was staring down at him but he didn't want to open his eyes and blush, so instead he simply waited for their ride to slow down before he groaned and sat up, looking out the window. What he saw made him go pale.

[Kasuka's POV]

Kasuka and Toren got the bags as usual, letting Izaya go wait by the doors as he was still waking up. At least that's what Kasuka thought as he saw the man stumble once, making him catch him by the arm and suggest he sit down. Kasuka said farewell to his friend before going up to Izaya and letting him know they could just get their tickets inside and go through security. The airport looked slow that day, at least slow enough for them to not wait the entire two hours in line...

"Alright." Izaya mumbled, standing up and just heading inside by himself, making Kasuka blink since he didn't wait for him like he usually did. He followed him in quickly and looked around the station to get there tickets, taking a step toward it before looking around for Izaya.

"Izaya, we go over here." Kasuka called softly, noticing his boyfriend wandering and it seemed to grab the man's attention, Kasuka watching the man drift back towards him. He set down their bags and touched Izaya's arm. "Hey, do you feel alright?" he muttered, not wanting to drag attention towards them both. Izaya glanced up at him before nodding and looking away from him, acting like he was inspecting the airport.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just tired still. They have Starbucks in here, right?" Izaya asked, looking at him again. Kasuka frowned from him avoiding the question but just moved to hold his hand, leading him towards the ticket booths.

"Yeah, they do. We can get some coffee together in a minute." he replied, going through the process of getting what they needed and having their bags checked in with a worryingly quiet boyfriend beside him, the man looking awfully tense every time he glanced at him again. The minute they walked away from the counter he couldn't stand it anymore, squeezing the man's hand and guiding him away from the crowd before looking at him.

"Izaya, tell me what's wrong." "Nothing's wrong, I'm just-" "You aren't tired, I've seen you tired. You're adorable when you're tired, not a train wreck. Tell me what's wrong."

Kasuka stared at him as the other faltered, shifting from foot to foot as he didn't make eye contact. "Izaya.." the ravenett persisted, just wanting to help him. He didn't understand what was so wrong with letting him know what was bothering him when it was so obvious already, it wasn't like he would be telling him for shits and giggles or something. "I can't help you if you don't let me." he added finally, slowly letting go of Izaya's hand before the informant grabbed it again, pressing closer to him and leaning on him heavily as he hid his face in Kasuka's shoulder.

"I'm fine, I'll be fine. I just don't.. I don't like flying, that's all. You don't have to worry about it." Izaya admitted, making Kasuka wrap his arms around him tightly, not caring about the judgmental looks from passersby.

"I'm sorry about not telling you, I wanted it to be a surprise..." Kasuka muttered, now feeling awful that he was forcing Izaya onto a plane. It's not like he would have done it if he'd known, but the topic had never even come up before with all places that they wanted or needed to go to in walking distance or easy to get to by car. I should have at least asked... "If you really don't want to fly we don't have to, I can think of something else and call Toren to pick us-"

"N-no! I'm fine, really! I want to go.." Izaya interrupted, looking up at him this time. He still looked pale and tense but he knew that if Izaya wanted to go on their date as planned then he would force himself, even without Kasuka asking him to. There really is no stopping him, huh?

"Alright.. But if you don't feel well or you decide you want to go home, then just say so. We have plenty of time before take-off." "I know.. Can we go get that coffee now?"

Kasuka smiled lightly from Izaya's straight-forwardness, it was always cute to him and it didn't change at all, so - knowing that it would also calm down the man's nerves - he went around the airport with him and bought him whatever treat he wanted, trying his best to not make his boyfriend think of actual flying until they were in line to get on the plane.

"I changed my mind, I want to go home." Izaya whined next to him, trying to plant himself where he stood as he gripped Kasuka's arm, both of them waiting next to a number so they could board.

"Are you sure?" Kasuka asked lightly, already having expected this when he'd seen Izaya look at a clock a little while before and shudder. The ruby eyed man looked up at him and opened his mouth to speak before glancing at the floor again, shifting where he stood.

"I want to go on our date. You planned it just for me.." Izaya mumbled to himself, making Kasuka smile a bit before he watched the internal battle going on beside him. "I can do this. I've been through worse." Izaya said with determination, standing up straight again before their section was called, walking behind Kasuka and giving his hand an almost breaking grip. They had no problem getting to their seats and getting settled, only having one carry-on that Kasuka brought probably filled with snacks and a game system or two for the hour of boredom ahead of them.

The two sat down together and Kasuka immediately closed the window beside him, thinking it wouldn't help his boyfriend in the least to see the ground move away from them as they took off later. For the entire period of people boarding the plane Izaya did exceptionally well, looking like he'd calmed down a bit and was calming himself even further by inspecting the humans walking by them in the isle, snickering every so often from something that Kasuka didn't even notice.

The ravenett just watched his Izaya the whole time instead, wanting to make sure he really was alright even if they now didn't have the option of backing out. The light and 'ding' telling them to put on their seat-belts showed up, Izaya tensing immediately and buckling up beside him as the plane started moving around the run way. Kasuka offered his arm to the other, letting him use another death-grip on him all he liked as they took off, leading to an hour of the actor being nearly glued to his boyfriend and Izaya trying not to make a sound every time there was turbulence.

Chapter 12~

Sorry for filler again, but I woke up this morning and pulled a blank.

This only came out when I forced myself to write a beginning and all the rest of it just fell into place finally, leaving another filler and development chapter for you guys ^^'

The next is the official beginning of the date - sorry it took so long to get to guys! - and don't worry about another blank, while writing this I kept drifting off and getting ideas for them during their two days, so I probably have a lot more fluff in my brain than needed that you guys will get to see~

I hope you all liked this chapter! Favorite, follow and review to see more!
