[Kasuka's POV]

Finally, I can get out of here.. the actor grumbled in his head, almost rushing himself out of the workplace as he was let off for the day. Kasuka took a deep breath once he was on his way home, checking his phone to see that he had gotten a text from Izaya almost two hours ago saying that he was there to wait for him. I don't think he's ever been there completely alone before.. I hope he feels comfortable.

Sure, they had been together for over two months - has it been three months already? I've been losing track.. Yeah, a little over three months now. - three months, but they still hadn't gotten to that level of comfort where they could easily move in with each other or do anything close. What they had, not emotionally but boundary-wise, was more like when you have a best friend and want nothing more than to hang out with them at every given opportunity, setting up plans and having almost constant sleep overs with one another. And like most sleep overs, there was still that barrier of respect that made you more subdued in the other's home, even with their permission to be otherwise lawless.

It's not like I can say anything though, I'm the same way in his house. We'll get over it eventually. Kasuka concluded, smiling lightly to himself as he got closer to home.

"You have that smile again. Is someone waiting there for you?" Toren asked from the front seat, making Kasuka blush from being caught. "A certain ruby-eyed man, perhaps?" the driver added, a smirk on his face. Yes, Toren knew about 'Kobayashi-sans' secret, at least the most basic one of gender, but it would have been hard to hide from him in the first place. He drove them every where and kept them mostly away from the paparazzi whenever he could himself, so the least they could do was let him in on the secret. Besides, Toren was more like family to him than most, besides Shizuo who was his number one, so he felt bad in the first place for hiding it. The chaperon had no problems accepting them as a gay couple either, which was a big relief.

"That's a yes. You look like a cherry again." the man laughed, causing Kasuka to throw a pen at him from the back seat through the little window that separated them. It harmlessly hit the screen of the radio instead of his driver like he'd planned and they both laughed it off, finishing up the drive before Kasuka was dropped off to see his lover. He made it up to his apartment and unlocked the door, not surprised that Izaya had locked it again once inside, and looking around to find him sitting in the center of the couch, curled up where he was instead of sprawled out over it like when they had played together before, and smiled lightly to himself. I knew it.

"Hello, darling~" Kasuka greeted cheerfully, over-exaggerating the nickname with much too much honey in it like he'd seen on some American program that he'd checked out while over seas once. All he got in return was a pout and glare from the name, but Kasuka gave his boyfriend a kiss hello anyway.

"How was the shoot?" Izaya asked, scooting over from where he was as Kasuka moved around the couch and dropped down next to him, the informant pausing his game as well so he didn't have to be distracted from either at once.

"It was fine. Haru was irritating though. She forgot her lines almost every transition." Kasuka complained, wrapping his arm around Izaya's waist and leaning onto him enough to rest his head on the other man's.

"Well, she is a guest-star. Plus, she's a pop idol, she wasn't trained for any of this. She'll be gone in a couple episodes anyway." the informant listed off, once again trying to make him feel better but having the tone like he should just know this all and have accepted it already. Despite the tone, he still always felt better after Izaya 'consoled' him like this. His boyfriend just wasn't completely used to the emotional part of all this still as well, so it was endearing that he even tried.

"Yeah, I know. Thanks." Kasuka hummed, giving him another kiss before Izaya shifted to let him rest his head on the informant's shoulder, Izaya resting his head on the actor's.

"Shinra called earlier. He said that we should go over to his place for dinner tonight." the informant muttered after a while, having that tone that showed he had forgotten about it first before telling him. The actor couldn't help feeling proud about knowing his lover's quirks already. He knew a lot of men in highschool, none his friends but his classmates, who knew almost nothing intimate about their partners after being together for a whole year - just basic things that got them by when a birthday came around.

"You mean like a double date?" Kasuka suggested with a grin, that grin faltering a bit as he groaned, a new pain in his side forming but harshly enough for him to not be amused.

"You're so much like Shinra, it's sickening." Izaya hissed, making Kasuka look up to check if he was really mad. The blush spread across Izaya's face let him know that he wasn't, so the actor just wrapped his arm around him more tightly and brought him in for a kiss, this one being longer than before much sweeter as he moved the informant into his lap.

"Sorry, we just both know how fun it is to push your buttons~ ..My buttons are not on my sides!" Kasuka suddenly shrieked, fumbling to grab Izaya's hands this time as he made a move to give him another jab, this time on both sides at once, and Kasuka felt like that would be the death of him after just receiving one a moment ago. He hadn't even realized what he had shouted until Izaya was suddenly cracking up, the most beautiful smile he'd ever seen on his lovers face coming out inbetween laughs while he tried to catch his breath and hide his face in Kasuka's shirt. Hah, so he does like bad jokes~

"What are you smiling at?" Kasuka asked in amusement, releasing Izaya's hands as the informant used them to cover his face, still recovering his breath. "I didn't even push your buttons yet!" Kasuka chuckled, this time evilly as he reached for Izaya's sides, and instead of jabbing them he started tickling them, watching as Izaya's face went from amusement to horror, the man jumping out of his lap.

"Kasu-kun, no. You know I don't like-... Kasuka!" Izaya gasped, now making a break for it down the hallway after Kasuka had stood up, hands still at the ready to tickle him despite the warnings. The actor gave chase, having no hopes of catching them with Izaya having so much experience, but he could still have fun trying as he got to his door, now locked like expected.

"Izaya, open the door~"

"No!"

"Izaya~"

"No, no, no!"

"I~za~ya~"

"Fuck no, now go away!"

"It's my house, Iza-chan."

Kasuka stopped himself in surprise at the nickname, wondering where that had come from. He'd never heard anyone call Izaya by it before and he'd never thought of Izaya with a nickname either, but it sounded nice. Iza-chan... I like it~

Obviously he wasn't the only one surprised by it, because the informant behind the door was currently quiet.

"Wh-what was that?" Izaya asked from behind the door, making Kasuka gape before grinning like a mad man. He stuttered!

"What was what, Iza-chan~?"

"That! What is that!?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, I-za-chan~" Kasuka mused, drawing out the nickname now as he heard the other get steadily more flustered.

"St-stop calling me that!" Izaya demanded as he opened the door, only getting an actor picking him up and running forward to drop him onto the bed as a response.

"Why? It's adorable~"

"No, it isn't!"

"It suits you, that's why it's adorable!" Kasuka protested, interrupting Izaya's retort with pecks on the lips, cutting him off on every attempt and eventually making the informant give up with an even more adorable glare and blush than before. "Do you accept defeat?" Kasuka asked him, smirking down at him now as they just stared at each other, Kasuka keeping Izaya's wrists captive so he couldn't get an advantage.

"Dumbass Heiwajima.." Izaya muttered, turning his head away from him and receiving an obvious hickey as punishment for the insult. "Kasu-!"

"There. Now Shinra gets to know we had some very fun alone time before heading over to his house~" Kasuka teased, letting go of Izaya and retreating to a safe distance as the informant put together what he'd just done.

"I hate you!"

"I love you too, Iza-chan~"

Chapter 61!

I know I promised more than fluff this chapter but I started writing the fluff and just couldn't end it!

It might be at the end of next chapter or might be it's own chapter directly after next but I will get around to writing their second time~

And sorry that I uploaded this so late in the day, I ended up getting into a discussion about many controversial things and it took a lot more time than I thought it would. Hope no one minds ^^'

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