[Kasuka's POV]

I hate this..

The actor sighed as he laid back in bed, unable to sleep as he thought of Izaya's stressed behavior over the past couple weeks.

He'd tried to be by Izaya's side as much as possible, knowing he needed him even if he pushed him away after a while. His boyfriend shouldn't have to deal with all of those cold looks alone, at least not when they were coming from someone like Dong-Yul.

The man didn't seem dangerous - he seemed like a nuisance. But he did appear to be troublesome that day he'd stopped to ask Kasuka some questions.

"Yuuhei-san!" a voice called him, making him turn around on his way to Izaya's dressing room to see Dong-Yul approaching him with a usual smile. "Yuuhei-san, are you going to see Kobayashi-kun right now?"

Kasuka just stared at him blankly for that, silently asking him where the hell else he would be going. Yes, his thoughts were a bit more harsh than usual at the moment, but he couldn't help not liking the guy. Dong-Yul was constantly flirting with his boyfriend and making advances on him when they weren't even wanted, being borderline harassment sometimes and always passing it off as him showing Izaya affection. But the boy's actions weren't sweet in the actor's eyes, they were staged and sterile and made to try and get Izaya to fall for him and push Kasuka away. That was why the bastard only gave his more loving displays when the ravenettes were in the same room, so he could show off to them both respectively.

Dong-Yul, seeing that he wasn't going to respond, continued on. "Okay, so, I was just wondering if Kobayashi-kun had said anything about me lately... Has she? Like, anything, even something bad." the tech director babbled, watching him intently the entire time as he waited for a response.

And as much as Kasuka just wanted to say "she wishes you'd drop dead", he wouldn't because he hadn't gotten the okay from his boyfriend yet. He'd been told to glare at him and try to keep him away but not outright crush him. So he held his tongue.

"She said you got her roses. She didn't like them." Kasuka said absently, thinking it would be a safe place to start seeing as it wasn't too personal an answer for 'Kobayashi' and the actor could easily know that just from hanging out with her. Dong-Yul's smile dropped a bit, looking like he was biting his lip before it came back, plastered on even harder than usual.

"Well, uh, did she say anything else? Liiike, what she would like me to get her, maybe?" the man persisted, shifting from foot to foot as they had a sort of staring match. It was inevitable that Kasuka would win, like always, but it seemed that every time they were in the room together Kasuka was either completely ignored or was given full eye-contact while he smiled and fawned over his boyfriend like he fuckin' owned him.

"No, she didn't say. She doesn't seem to like presents that much at all, really." the ravenett announced, hoping it would get the man to stop sending them. He hadn't sent a lot of them or anything, but if it continued then he might actually find something that Izaya liked and send it to him, getting a little bit closer to his goal. And as much as Kasuka trusted Izaya, he didn't want that to happen.

The Korean in front of him nodded lightly where they were, still just staring at him expectantly, like he knew he was lying. Kasuka didn't say anything to push the conversation and eventually Dong-Yul picked it up again, asking him various little questions about what Kobayashi liked, or 'seemed to like' as Kasuka tried to keep things vague and act like he didn't know almost everything about his boyfriend.

When Dong-Yul was finally called away from him to tend to his work, he called it as a blessing and practically ran to Izaya's dressing room, knocking and entering to escape the bastard further.

To say Kasuka didn't worry about Dong-Yul's advances would be lying; he worried about them almost every day that they went to work, knowing that bastard would be there waiting to prey on his boyfriend. And he knew Izaya could take care of himself, and he knew he shouldn't be thinking so much about some stupid punk that wanted the other when they were already happily together and dating and in love, but he couldn't help it. It was like he was some kind of parasite, trying to feed off of him and Izaya whenever he got the chance.

For the first time in his life, he understood how Shizuo must feel and have felt for all these years when he called Izaya a "flea".

The younger Heiwajima sighed as he got out of bed, and paced around, trying to think of what to do so he would be tired enough for sleep. Nothing came to mind and he finally paced out into his living room, everything the same as a couple hours ago and perfectly in its place except for one thing; a letter sitting on the floor just before his doorway. What the shit...

Kasuka hesitated before walking towards it and picking it up, and seeing as nothing bad happened at just that, he opened it. What he found inside made his stomach twist.

Chapter 46~

So, we finally get some more from Kasuka's side of the story!

What do you think Kasuka got in the 'mail' that made him so uneasy? From whom did he get it?

Remember, Izaya never told him about being stalked or under surveillance before, so anything he got would probably be a shock to him - actual bad news or otherwise.

Lemme know what you guys think~

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