He literally does not care about the state of his body, you know. That's why he says you got hurt worse: he cares about what happens to you more than about what happens to himself.
[He is absolutely not going to discuss the complicated thing that is 'Chuuya and Dazai's odd friendship/dating/romance/what the fuck'.]
It's a complicated thing that has everything to do with our abilities and we're not talking about it because I can't explain it and you wouldn't understand anyway.
I guess that would depend on a few things. Is Akechi one of the few people in your world to have the same power as you, and understands the position you're in relative to that power because he's also been in that position? And so while you think his personality is kind of rotten and probably would want nothing to do with him if circumstances were different, you're stuck with him in your life because you don't know what else to do with him?
[He's expecting a 'no', because he does not Persona.]
Hugs are what you do, right? Chuuya remembers all those times Akira helped him at critical moments, and whenever it felt like Chuuya was about to cry, Akira usually hugged him.
So he carefully reaches around Akira- no accidentally hurting him by being rough with wounds- and pulls him into a gentle but solid hug.
[. . . haha. funny how you think you'll be okay after murdering and carving out the heart of someone who looked like a person you cared about. funny how, when things quiet down and the world slows down, you really aren;t]
[the touch is solid. an anchor onto which Akira grasps to keep him grounded. to keep him whole]
[he leans into that touch, slumping up against Chuuya's side wordlessly. he says nothing, and he isn't crying]

[and he's sitting on the edge of the bed!]
How is Dazai?
no subject
[Chuuya is similarly damp-haired and in clean clothes. Jeans, sneakers, and a red t-shirt.
Also he'll sit down on the edge of the bed too.]
But he'll be okay. He just needs some rest.
no subject
[huffs a little]
Despite what he said, I still think he got hit the worst out of all three of us.
[Akira's injury is bad but he's survive! Dazai got cut up pretty severely, though]
CW: dazai
[Just. Putting that out there.]
no subject
I know.
But that's why he has you, right? You care about what happens to him.
no subject
...something like that, I guess.
no subject
[lifts a hand to ruffle Chuuya's hair a bit]
no subject
Don't make it weirder than it already is! I don't even like him. I just don't want him dead at every second of the day anymore.
no subject
You know there are a lot of ways to "like" someone, right?

[leaning his shoulder against Chuuya's]
Or have you forgotten Akechi?

[He's expecting a 'no', because he does not Persona.]

[gives Chuuya a bland look that is kind of mitigated by the eye patch]

[...]
Do you make out with him sometimes not because you like him, but because it's really hot?
no subject

no subject
Yeah.
[another beat]
And because he was being stupid and I wanted to calm him down.
[HE MADE A MISTAKE]
no subject
Huh. I guess you do understand how it is, then.
[Yeah, Chuuya and Dazai's whole thing is a bunch of teenage hormones and Stupid.]
no subject
[popping that 'p' for emphasis]
But even that's a kind of "like." It might not be strictly romantic, but. . . you know.
[shrugs. . .?]
no subject
[Dazai seems to like calling him a 'boyfriend' though, so there's that. Chuuya still is trying to figure out what he even wants in life.]
But that must've made it hard for you, to have to fight Akechi. And, er. Do the heart thing.
[He's assuming Akira did the heart thing.]
no subject
[. . .]
[what's probably telling is that Akira doesn't say a damn word in response to that, either]
no subject
It makes him scoot a little closer on the bed.]
You don't have to say anything, don't worry about it.
[It's funny. Most people don't get that level of consideration from Chuuya. But Akira does.]
...I'm not really the best at 'comforting' or saying the right words or anything, but uh. If you need me, I'm here. Okay?
no subject
[he still doesn't say anything, but his hands curl into fists in his lap, fingers tightening around the fabric of his pants]

[Chuuya will notice that his shoulders are hunched and he's shaking slightly]
