[Kasuka's POV]

"Sorry Kasu-kun, I'll catch up in a little bit." Izaya called back to him as he ran down the street, a blond debt collector hot on his heels. The ravenett just watched them go with a roll of his eyes, happy that nothing had really changed since the dinner they'd all had together. Not that he enjoyed watching Shizuo throw trash-cans at his boyfriend, but it was nice for things to be normal around here.

The actor went on ahead once they were out of sight, heading to the ramen shop the two had attended for their first date and waiting in line for the both of them so they could get right inside once Izaya popped up from their little chase. Kasuka glanced around before smiling to himself, wondering if it was even more odd to think something so abnormal was the only normal thing in this city. His brother and boyfriend had been fighting so long it was almost like they were born to do it, Kasuka just happened to get the pleasure of knowing them both and being occasionally caught in the middle of it.

It had been about 3 days since they all had dinner together and the couple had been enjoying the weekend until Shizuo came up with his boss, apparently still working at that time, and had interrupted their little outing with a warning sign being thrown over both of their heads, just to give them a heads-up before the blond actually aimed for the informant wrapped around his arm. And even if his boyfriend was probably across town at the moment because of his elder sibling, he wasn't mad.

Kasuka finally got let inside and slipped the server a 20 so she wouldn't say anything to her boss about waiting for the other too long. He pulled out his phone and scrolled through some media sites while he waited for Izaya to let him know he was on his way back, not even having to wait half an hour for the text to come.

[I'll be right there! The idiot didn't see me go under a bridge.]

[Why would you go under a bridge? I thought you hated germs.]

[It looks like a very nice bridge, thank you very much. And don't say stuff like that, it'll make my skin crawl.]

[If it still makes your skin crawl then it must not be that nice of a bridge.]

Kasuka smiled to himself again from their playful banter, tapping his foot under the table. He'd gotten them one in the corner this time since he didn't want to risk another interruption from a fan if they spotted him. It was torture to be suddenly taken away from his lover last time, so he didn't want to chance it. He doubted that in such a crowded place they would be able to swarm him like before, but you never know…

The actor waited and waited until he saw Izaya's signature jacket in the door and waved him over, both of them sharing a grin as Kasuka moved for him to sit on the other side. After their first date they'd unconsciously started sitting in a certain order so they could hold hands while eating, and eventually they just accepted that it would be one of their special habits. Like his and Shizuo's knock.

Kasuka stopped his thoughts when he noticed Izaya was still breathing heavier than usual, even though he'd been sitting for a couple minutes already. "Hey, are you alright?" he asked. The informant looked up at him and nodded, smiling.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Guess I just need some more exercise." he chuckled, looking away from him as the server came to ask what they wanted. They got their orders down and started chatting again, Kasuka asking where he'd left his brother and how much they broke on the way there, pleased when there was little property damage this time since Shizuo had held onto a stop-sign for a good part of their chase and was swinging it like a bat instead of throwing it.

Things continued as they got their food and Kasuka was about to ask him how his informant business was going when he caught his boyfriend wincing, making Kasuka's eyes widen. Izaya hadn't said anything about Shizuo actually knicking him this time so it was quite concerning.

"You okay?" "Yeah, I'm-" "Izaya." Kasuka muttered, in a much lower tone than usual that obviously startled the ravenett. The informant wilted a bit before glancing at his food.

"Before you ask; no, Shizuo didn't get me this time. On the way back here I met up with someone who didn't get the good end of my services." Izaya admitted slowly, taking a bite of his ramen and then a bite of his fatty tuna - Kasuka had ordered him some just in case he wanted it later.

"How bad did he get you? You barely even flinch when Shizuo hits you with a trashcan." the actor went on, looking over his boyfriend even though it wouldn't help. Being fully clothed and in a public place wasn't the easiest scenario for finding out himself.

"Kasuka, I'm fine. Really. I've had a lot worse." "That doesn't make me worry less…"

Izaya glanced up at him again before holding in a small laugh, finishing the food in his mouth before leaning over to give him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you for worrying, but-" "Holy shit, you're bleeding!" Kasuka suddenly exclaimed, having moved his hand to wrap around Izaya for a hug, his fingers pressing onto a wet patch on the man's shirt and pulling away to have specks of red on it.

"Don't be so loud.." "But you're hurt! I'm calling Shinra." "Kasuka, can't we just finish-" "No. We can't. You're smart enough to know that already."

Kasuka stared at his boyfriend for a moment, with such a serious expression that it stopped the other from making any kind of comeback. "Alright.. Are you gonna call Celty to pick me up? I don't think walking all the way there would be very good for me either.." Izaya admitted, making Kasuka smile as he finally saw reason.

The actor took his boyfriend's hand again and began walking out of the building, already on the phone with Shinra. "Sir, you need to pay for this!" "Put it on a tab." Kasuka dismissed, heading down the stairs with his boyfriend.

"Really, you can get into all kinds of trouble, can't you?" "You should know that better than anyone, Shinra~" "True. But still, how do you get stabbed and just keep going like that!? It should at least hurt a little.." "Oh it hurt, trust me."

"Then why did you just come back to the restaurant!?" Kasuka questioned, still fussing over him as they sat on the couch in Shinra's apartment.

"Because we were on a date, and I wanted to keep it that way." Izaya huffed, glaring at him. Kasuka didn't take offense though, knowing it was the only second option, seeing as in Shinra's place the informant couldn't pout freely.

[Wait, you guys are dating!?]

Kasuka recoiled when a phone was shoved in front of their faces, making him cross-eyed for a moment as he tried to read it before pushing her hand away a little bit. "Yes, we are. And we have been for over a month now." the actor explained, seeing as Izaya was currently scrunching his nose up from having peroxide placed on the wound, now stitched up properly and healing.

The headless rider beside them still looked shock, fingers hesitating as she was about to type the next message. Finally, [Why didn't you tell us, Izaya?]

"Because it was none of your business. And you would have found out eventually, I mean you know me, Kasuka and Shizu-chan. I'm surprised you haven't figured it out already." the informant admitted, running a hand through his hair to straighten it out. The ride from the ramen shop over to Shinra's apartment had gone even faster than usual, seeing as Izaya needed actual medical attention and the wind didn't do anything kind to his hair.

Shinra and Celty shared a look, then Shinra grinned as Celty started writing. [So, you done anything?]

Kasuka immediately face-palmed. "Don't tell me, you've been hanging out with aniki too much…" the actor groaned, getting a confused look from the ravenett beside him.

"What did Shizu-chan say?" "Nothing.." "It was obviously something!" "No, not really." "Kasukaaa!"

There was a jab in his side and he winced as the two before them shared another glance, Shinra looking like he was about to crack up. "And it seems Izaya spends too much time with my dear Celty!" There was another jab taken, but this time not to Kasuka.

"Well, aren't we all one big, happy family? But seriously, what did he say?" "We'll talk about it later." Kasuka laughed as he watched Shinra recover from the blow to his torso. The doctor and actor shared a slightly pained smile before Kasuka leaned back and made sure Izaya was alright as the brunet wrapped a gauze around the area of his torso that had been stabbed.

"Things look just fine now. You know the drill Izaya, call us immediately if you find blood on anything besides a couple specks on your bandages, and if you feel pain in general just after taking the pills. I'll go get you some more." Shinra prattled on, already walking away half-way through the sentence since this was such a common situation. Izaya just hummed to show he'd heard him and relaxed into Kasuka's side, eyes closing as he began to look tired.

"Are you sure you didn't lose too much blood or anything?" "That was the first thing he checked, Kasu-kun." "Yeah, but what if he did it wrong..?" "If he's been doing something wrong since high-school, I'm pretty sure me and your brother could and should be dead at this point." "Right."

[You two look like a perfect couple somehow.]

Izaya and Kasuka glanced at each other at that, sharing a smile as they both agreed.

Chapter 29!

Sorry for the wait guys!

I almost didn't get anything to you all for TWO days because of internet and PC issues, but luckily I had finished and submitted something in the morning the other day.

Anyways, I hope you liked this fluffy/slice-of-life type chapter~

I just wanted to write something with Shinra and Celty finding out, and seeing as I couldn't write anything dirty while at school (since that's where I've been writing the beginnings of chapters in my free-time), I thought "why not do it now!?"

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