[Izaya's POV]
The informant sighed heavily as he laid out on his couch, already back home for the day because the recent episode had nothing to do with him, focusing on Kasuka's character development. They weren't sure how long it was going to take for them to get everything they needed filmed either, so he was allowed to take his script home and work on it there, which he had planned to do but never got around to once he looked between the script, his laptop and his couch and decided which he was the most interested in.
After the last couple weeks he'd had, he wanted nothing more than to get every moment of extra sleep he could to make up for the hours he spent worrying over his boyfriend while they had been kept apart.
Now, he had nothing to do. He didn't even want to sleep, having slept well last night. It was either start working on Shiki's next assignment for him or just lie around while he waited for Kasuka to get off work. They had planned to have dinner together once his own filming was done as well, so he didn't want to eat something out of boredom either.
Maybe I should find something else I'm good at. I have work and now I have acting, so why can't I be good at more things?
Izaya pondered that for a moment, wondering what he could try before standing up and rummaging around his desk before he found some blank printer paper, which he hadn't used since his printer broke a couple years ago and he had neglected to get a new one. Who prints things anymore?
He went back to his coffee table after finding a pencil as well, along with a pen since he didn't know which was better, and settled himself down to try drawing. Now what the fuck should I draw…. he asked himself, actually beginning to think this was a bad idea when he couldn't even decide where to start and he finally decided on just drawing something simple, his laptop. It's a bunch of squares, it can't be too hard.
And so he set himself on his little mission of drawing his laptop, zoning out enough that he didn't hear his phone buzz with a text message, and leaned back to look at what he'd done when he felt finished.
It looks… like shit.
Izaya scowled and scribbled over it a little before moving down the page and deciding to try again, this time with the pen instead so he could use his pencil like a ruler. Almost done…. There. He thought to himself, leaning back to look again. Ehhh… Keyboards are supposed to be straight, aren't they... Screw it.
Izaya inevitably crumpled up the paper he'd been using and grabbed another one, thinking of what to draw next. Maybe I'm just better at drawing things that aren't perfect lines. And so he started to try drawing a flower; this one actually turned out good, however, he couldn't get over the fact that it looked like something his sisters had drawn back in kindergarten the exact same way. Redo…
And he kept trying.
Fuck..
And trying.
Fuck!
And trying, again.
Fuuuck!
Until he finally gave up.
"Why can't it do what I want it too!?" he sighed loudly, letting his forehead hit the table in front of him as he grimaced at the tiny field of flowers on paper he had come up with. None of them were impressive but none of them were too awful either, especially the ones near the end. "This is too hard.." the informant hissed, crumpling up his paper yet again and throwing it onto his desk a couple feet away.
"I should be doing work, how the hell did I end up with this?" he grumbled to himself, standing up and going over to his desk, completely abandoning his forgotten art supplies where they were as he opened his laptop and logged in, checking a long list of chatrooms he could intrude before actually gathering some information, nearly jumping out of his seat when his phone started buzzing loudly in his pocket.
"What now?" he mumbled, taking it out of his pocket and checking it, thinking someone was calling him but finding out it was really just Shinra sending a multitude of texts, all the same text, over and over again to grab his attention.
[You're plan worked, now what do you want?] he sent, hoping to stop the wave of messages from continuing to interrupt him while typing.
[Hello! I was just wondering if you wanted to come over to me and Celty's place for dinner tonight. We haven't had a normal conversation in ages.]
[True. I'll ask Kasuka, we kinda already had plans.]
[Perfect! It can be like a double date~]
[I'll let Celty know to jab you for that when we get there.] Izaya paused. [If we even show up.] he clarified.
[Right! See you then.]
Izaya just let out a small sigh as he leaned back in his chair, looking at the uninteresting chatroom in front of him. No one was talking about anything useful, just about some manga that had recently come out and another currently on sale. He leaned forward to dismiss himself. [Kanra: Bye guys! Mom said I have chores to do.]
The informant sighed as he leaned back again, already bored out of his mind.
With nothing extreme going on, nothing to distract his mind, he was once again easily distracted and quickly bored, making his eyes wander. This isn't any fun.. I wonder if Kasuka would mind if I go over to his house and play Zelda while he's at work.
The informant bit the inside of his cheek once as he scanned through the list of chatrooms again, quickly looking through and seeing that most were completely dead, then exited out of his computer again and shut it. He did give me a key, it should be fine. And with that, he grabbed what he needed before walking out again, hoping Kasuka could join him soon.
Chapter 60!
I know, not the most exciting chapter but this is still transitioning to them being normal (not like they ever were).
And Izaya is much more used to death and things like that, plus he doesn't know what Dong-Yul did, so he would have a much faster period of time for being back to his usual impatient-self.
Next chapter holds more fluff, maybe even something more.
Let me know what you all want to see though!
Give me a scenario for these two, a suggestion, just a thought you've had with them, maybe a head-cannon and I can put it in here ^^
I hope you all liked this chapter! Favorite, follow and review to see more!
