[Kasuka's POV]
The actor set down Izaya's coffee on the table beside him, smiling as he sat down on the couch with him and moved the other's legs onto his lap. Izaya had only gotten to Kasuka's house about twenty minutes ago and was already typing away on his computer for something or other, currently ignoring the ravenett who catered to him though Kasuka didn't mind. As long as he was here and safe then he could ignore him all he needed to...
For half an hour, at least.
After a couple more minutes of spacing out and letting Izaya work, he finally got restless, needing more attention from the other. How could he just sit there and not talk to him or hold him when he'd been thinking about nothing but him all day, wondering if he was alright and alive and safe? The meeting earlier had been torture for him, having to stay still and quiet as he refused himself the task of texting Izaya through every minute of it. Last time he had ignored the details of a position he'd gotten stuck being on the cover of a magazine.
Which was normal - it was what started his career, after all - but this magazine happened to be more… risque, than he had ever wanted to attempt. So, he had to push through his instincts and pay attention to a dull meeting, dull talent agent and irritating manager trying to push for him to go through with it. At least Kasuka could say that he got what he wanted, his manager finally agreed to keep searching for a different outlet than some nude magazine. That's one thing off my shoulders. he thought to himself, eyes trailing away from the ceiling and moving towards his boyfriend instead, being able to see all of him but his face and hands as the informant worked with his laptop resting on his chest.
"You're going to ruin your eyes like that, ya know." Kasuka finally stated, smiling lightly as he broke the silence between them. He waited to see if he would be ignored or if Izaya would keep talking to him. It wouldn't be the first time that Izaya was too stressed out to talk to him, it was actually pretty common, but it also usually passed after 2 hours of working. The informant surprised him by closing the laptop a little bit to peer over it.
"Yeah, I know. But I've been doing this for years now and I'm still fine, so I should have at least another few before I have to buy glasses." Izaya summed up, opening his laptop again to full size as he continued typing. Kasuka just rolled his eyes.
"Well, the more you do something the more it's gonna affect you. I give you another year and a half, tops." the actor responded, shifting slightly so one of Izaya's legs was on the other side of him, allowing him to lay down between them and rest his head on Izaya's stomach. He noticed that the informant's stomach growled lightly when he did that but didn't comment on it, knowing the other wouldn't have any interest in eating until it was a bit later in the day.
"And I say at least three. You wanna make a bet out of it?" the informant proposed, the smirk on the other side of the computer screen evident to him.
"Hm.. What would I get out of it, if I did?"
"Hmhmm… Maybe you'd get that kitten you were hoping for?" Izaya announced, the actor nodding lightly before his eyes widened, picking himself up to look over the screen at Izaya.
"I'd have to wait that long for one!?"
Izaya raised a brow at him, smirk growing. "You're that confident you'd win?"
Kasuka and Izaya stared at each other for a moment, the actor beginning to pout at him. "You're awful…"
"Oh c'mon, at least I didn't say no to it. I could have just lied and said I was allergic to cats."
"That would make you even more awful…"
The continued to stare at each other until Kasuka slid back down, resting his head on Izaya's stomach once more as he fiddled with the informant's shirt. "Kasu-kun, quit being a baby. If you really want a kitten then you can just buy one, you're a grown man."
"Yeah, but having a pet is like having a kid. I don't wanna get one that you don't like and I want both of us to name it, too.." Kasuka admitted, shifting his gaze to look up at the informant again who sat up slightly. There was a blush on the older ravenett's face as he did so, reaching to take a sip of his coffee before grabbing his cellphone from the coffee table.
Izaya muttered something to him as he dialled Shinra's number, Kasuka straining to hear it. He couldn't quite make out what the informant had said though and slid further up so he could hear him the second time, asking him to repeat it. "In a second.." the informant muttered, blush growing as Shinra answered him. Kasuka laid down flat again as he exercised his patience. "Hey are you all still fine over there? … Good. Yeah, we found a place to drop it off without witnesses. It should only be a half hour away from you, so I'll text you the address now. Alright? … Alright, be careful." the informant finished up, hanging up the phone before typing away on it again, glancing at the screen occasionally to double check his spelling and memory.
After another moment Kasuka couldn't wait any more. "So what did you say?" the actor prompted, tugging on the end of his boyfriend's shirt lightly to keep his attention and bug him into answering. Izaya just threw him a playful glare for it, flopping backwards onto the pillows where he'd been laying before.
"I-I said if you compare it to having kids then I'll have to make you wait longer. That's a lot to handle, especially with both of our jobs." Izaya pointed out, Kasuka not even having to look to know the blush was on his face again, probably stronger now. The actor nodded against his lover's stomach at first, agreeing completely even though that didn't stop him from wanting to have a kitten, and someday actual children.
"So, if I have to wait, let's say maybe 2 years for an animal… How long would I have to wait for something else?" Kasuka asked softly, waiting patiently as he felt Izaya tense up in his arms. The informant shifted a little bit where he was laying, the sounds of typing halting for a moment before it continued again. The silence continued on until his lover spoke up.
"I-I dunno.. I guess that just depends."
"Depends on what?"
"I dunno yet…" Izaya admitted, the softness in his tone making Kasuka pick himself up again, the actor looking over the computer to see Izaya watching him with an unreadable gaze. The ravenett didn't know what he wanted to say for a moment, not sure whether Izaya was getting upset or embarrassed with him.
"You don't have to look at me like I'm dragging you into an adoption center. I'm just talking about later; much, much later, if need be. Nothing's happening." Kasuka reassured, continuing to watch the other as Izaya slowly relaxed a little, looking like he could breathe again. The silence was just beginning to get comfortable again when Izaya looked back to his computer, giving a small sigh.
"Actually, it feels like everything is happening... Everything's gotten so crazy within the last month it's like we're in a bad.. not a sitcom, those are actually funny.. We're in some kind of bad drama. Suddenly we're together and everything has to get more complicated." Izaya murmured, his voice quiet as he almost spaced out, gaze still locked on the computer between them. "Dong-Yul hates me, so does his cousin probably, our director is probably going to pop a blood vessel if I miss another day of recording, my boss is going to kill me if I don't get anything into him within the next two days probably. Shizu-chan is my fucking bodyguard, we almost got blown up, my sisters almost got blown up, I didn't even think twice about it when I put Celty and Shinra in danger by letting Shizuo walk up to them like a ticking fucking bomb-" the informant was cut off by Kasuka's lips meeting his own, the computer now shut where it was on his lap from Kasuka leaning forward so quickly.
Kasuka stayed where he was until he felt his boyfriend calm down again, the informant's hand that had snuck it's way into short hair so it could pull as the man let off steam slowly released it's hold and the other hand, which had been resting limply at his boyfriend's side, moved up to hold onto Kasuka's arm. The actor took this as a good thing and leaned back up a little, pulling away from the kiss to watch Izaya's eyes. The poor thing probably hadn't even realized his speech had been speeding up the whole time, breath becoming uneven and normally clear eyes beginning to look a bit red, like he was about to cry. Kasuka had honestly thought he'd never see a look on Izaya's face that he hated, but this had proven him wrong.
The actor leaned up more to slide the laptop out from between them, dropping it onto the carpet before he pressed himself against his boyfriend more tightly, his arms finding their way under Izaya's waist to hold him. The informant seemed to melt into his arms, breath evening out again quickly as they just enjoyed each other's warmth for a moment. When they were both feeling better, letting the silence linger around them a little longer, Kasuka decided he wanted to do more than just calm his boyfriend down, sliding down a little bit so he could press his lips to the informant's neck.
After a couple of kisses Izaya realized what he was doing, the hands holding onto his arms beginning to push back now. "Kasu-kun, I still have to-"
"Please.. I just want you happy." Kasuka insisted, meeting Izaya's eyes as the other bit his lip. It didn't take long before Izaya gave in, nodding and letting himself be stripped of his shirt. Clothes fell to the ground as Kasuka led him away to the other room, kisses being shared and stress being forgotten for a while longer.
