[Kasuka's POV]
"I'm really sorry about that.." Kasuka muttered into the phone, Izaya on the other line for the apology about earlier. The informant just let out a huff and Kasuka combed through his hair absently as he worried about the other being mad at him. "If we look on the bright side, at least he didn't try to kick your ass or anything. Right?" Kasuka offered, hoping it would ease the frustration at least a little bit.
There was a sigh on the other side and Izaya finally spoke up. "Yeah, that's true. Though I almost would have preferred it, ya know, against spending two hours outside your door waiting for him to leave before leaving. Did he really give you 'the talk' that entire time? It seems like an awful lot when we obviously know how." the informant mused.
"That's what I said! But yeah, he gave me the talk again. Most of it was asking if I gave you consent or not though and it went back to that almost a million times, plus he didn't even believe me at first at all." Kasuka sighed, hearing something over the phone and just being able to imagine his boyfriend shaking his head at the thought. "Anyways, do you wanna come back over now that he's gone? I doubt he's patrolling my building or anything." the actor offered.
"If you really want me to then yeah, but I wouldn't put it past the beast to be doing just that. I'll be over again in half an hour, pick a movie for us or something, you still shouldn't be moving around a lot." Izaya reminded, now being on the receiving end of disbelief.
"Fine, I will. Cya soon."
The rest of the night had gone by quickly, the movie passing the time whenever they weren't chatting quietly. Izaya didn't say anything about him not moving around for the rest of the night, which was good, but that was probably only because Kasuka didn't try to get up again. The only time he did was to use the bathroom anyway, so Izaya obviously didn't say anything.
They fell asleep in one another's arms around 9, still being tired from the night before and that just being added onto from the energy used to hang out with Shizuo without Izaya and him killing one another, and of course their last escapade that had taken waaay too long. The sun rose too quickly as well, neither wanting to go to work in the least. "If we keep skipping work, especially on the same days, people aren't just going to be guessing that we're together. They're gonna accuse us." Kasuka mused as they both were half-awake, still lying in bed together under the sheets.
"And I should care about that why?" Izaya yawned, nuzzling his head further into his boyfriend's neck.
"Because us dating and them knowing would mean you getting more paparazzi. Do you want everyone in the world to know that you cross dress for half a living?" Kasuka replied, lifting his head and shifting away from the other just enough to let cold air in, his goal being accomplished when the cold air made the other ravenett open his eyes again.
"No, I don't..." Izaya finally muttered, heaving a deep sigh before pulling himself up and stretching, letting out a small shiver as Kasuka ran a hand up his spine but otherwise hiding a smile from it. "C'mon, if I have to get up then so do you. I thought those were the rules." Izaya even gave the other a small shove to add to his point.
"Yeah, yeah, rules are rules... Stupidest rule we ever made though." Kasuka admitted, picking himself up as well and relaxing when most of the pain from yesterday was gone, now just an ache that barely hurt him even when he bent over to pick something up. Good, I don't want people asking more questions than necessary again.
The two got dressed, called up Toren and asked him to drive them over to Izaya's so he could put on fresh clothes, then finally got to work. Everything seemed just as calm, the word used very loosely, and normal as it had since the first day they met each other on set and for a moment Kasuka wondered if everything odd and exciting that had happened so far since then had all been in their heads.
But of course it hadn't been. Dong-Yul was still avoiding them like the plague when not asked to go near them, Shara was long gone. Every member of the cast knew them by name or stage name and were comfortable around them, and all they had to worry about, once again, was memorizing lines and keeping a smile on their faces as they did it. Well, a smile on Izaya's face; everyone had practically given up on making Kasuka smile for them unless Izaya was there since it never worked otherwise.
And of course the most important thing that had happened hadn't been in their heads, Izaya and Kasuka were happily together and loving every moment of it.
The two separated after sharing a soft smile and went to do their own work before coming together again, finally, at around 3 pm, a whole day apart. They relaxed on the couch together as they read their lines, both upset that they still couldn't cuddle one another while they did it but not wanting to have to explain themselves if the director suddenly burst in or maybe an intern that was extremely new. They settled for their positions now and kept practicing until they were called out to film a scene, finally being let off again for the day at around 6.
"Do you have more work to do?" Kasuka asked in the car, frowning lightly when he got a nod in reply.
"Shiki's been needy lately. I don't know what's been up with the news but there seems to be a lot of kidnappings around now, so that means there's a lot of parents willing to come to us for help about it." the informant replied, voice low so Toren wouldn't be too interested in what they were saying. Usually Toren was good about ignoring them in the first place but if they talked too loudly then it was inevitable that he would get the brunt of a conversation.
"Ah, I see.. Just make sure you don't work yourself too hard alright? I can't even imagine doing two jobs like you do." the actor muttered, pulling Izaya closer to him and giving him a peck on the cheek. Izaya just let out a chuckle.
"Please. You just can't imagine doing two jobs because you practically already do three."
Kasuka tilted his head at that. "What do you mean?"
"Well, you're actually famous. You're an actor and have been for a while, but like most actors that just means you get dragged into more stuff. You have to go on talk shows, go to a lot more signings than me, have to meet important people from other companies, have been on commercials, have practically been a male model for the last couple years-" Izaya got a look from him at that last one, the informant just blushing as he pouted, "I wasn't being creepy. I was googling something and you were in one of the ads that popped up."
The Heiwajima just rolled his eyes at that, smiling lightly. "It's your job to be kinda creepy. Thankfully how adorable you are makes up for it." A jab in the stomach was given to him, but just a little one this time. Izaya was still pouting, which was probably why.
"Anyways, you have at least 5 jobs in one. You getting another hobby could throw you off the workaholic deep-end." Izaya finished, letting his boyfriend think that all over for a moment before he got a nod in reply.
"Yeah, I guess you're right.. Good thing the few hobbies I have don't take a lot of effort then."
Toren finally pulled up to Izaya's building and the couple said goodbye to each other with a kiss. "I'll see ya tomorrow. Goodnight, Kasu-kun."
"Goodnight, Iza-chan."
