I think I first liked the idea of Kizaya, only because they were both so adorable, and I love yaoi. x'3 So I just naturally put them together ~
After the characters began to develop more, I saw certain things about them that just clicked together ~ They met under kind of strange circumstances, and I felt as though while Kida was still a part of the Yellow Scarves, he depended on Izaya somewhat.
But in all honesty, what made me fall head over heels for them was a very long story I read on a Durarara!! Kink Meme, in which Kida was in love with Izaya and would do anything for him, seeing Izaya as a 'god'. Their personalities were expressed so well, having Kida really being the only one with feelings. Which is how I really see Kizaya- if anything, although I hate this, it really is just one-sided on Kida's part. I really resented the story for a long time because of this, but the end was just, amazing. The author was able to make Izaya love Kida, even though it was only a bit, in such a way that you could never say he was out of character. Then I knew that Kizaya was the only couple for me ~ <'3
