shortforever | Not Again! With Dazai

[ With that wrapped up, he's going to grab Chuuya's hand and lead him out of there. ]

Let's head to the cabin before everyone else does.

[ They will probably be chatting among each other for a bit or checking up on how people are doing. ]

Yeah, okay.

[They can't commit lewd crimes yet so Dazai will be spared from that for now. But he gets the feeling that this needs to be private. ]

No more accidents here. Got it?

[ When will sticky go away. ]

No more accidents. I still plan on keeping to what I said to Akira during that meeting.

[ He's not killing unless someone goes after one of them ]

[Not soon enough.]

That's all we can try to do here.

[He's. Not promising though.]

[ He knows. ]

Looks like we still won't be able to share if we do a kill. We should figure out that a code.

[ At least leopard cabin is right there. ]

Yeah. If they're gonna punish us for speaking freely, we'll have to figure something else out.

[Hello cabin! Time to go inside and have a tiny bit of privacy before the others get back.]

Think we can get away with charades?

[ Locking it behind them and just going to pull Chuuya to bed. Sitting down on the edge of it and pulling up on the sleeves to hold his hand out. He'll let Chuuya decide if he wants to be stuck for a hour. ]

I don't know if that'll work. Too bad the culprit wasn't someone more animated to test that out.

We could always bring up something else to talk about. Something that would be weird for us in context, but seem normal to anyone else.

[They can be stuck together, yes, but Chuuya is going to carefully lace their fingers together first. And oh look, lewd act #1!]

...details from home. Things nobody here would know, because they're not here. Not only would nobody know we're sharing, nobody would know what we're saying.

[That could get their team color out, maybe.]

[ So lewd. ]

We can talk about our first meeting, or when we worked together. There's also the Port Mafia building, the color of your eyes, Ane-san's kimono...

[ His gaze is just going to look at Chuuya's eyes before he winks. Then he'll flop back on to the bed. ]

I have been favoring the color of your eyes lately, Chuuya.

Is that so?

[He hears you loud and clear, Dazai.]

Can't say I like it very much. When you get to the heart of the matter, it's just not my style.

[Look at them being sneaky.]

I think it looks great with your hair.

[ There's a pause as he reaches over to push Chuuya to lay down as well. ]

We only have one more day of this.

[ Lifting their linked hands. ]

I guess red and blue go together alright.

[And there he goes, falling back on the bed. And he's grinning over at Dazai.]

What're you gonna do when it's over?

You did say to Asch you were planning on doing five lewd things later. Since I'm also influencing your lewdness, it's only fair that I take responsibility and help you out.

[ He'll lift their linked hands and look at Chuuya before turning around to kiss the back of his own hand. He's not going to get stuck to any hands on his face, but at least this will send a message. ]

[Ah. That.

Chuuya lets out a huff of laughter as he glances away. Of course Dazai would want to take responsibility for that.]

You can help me with most of it. I should still go bother other people with inappropriate hand-holding too, to work up that 'four-timing' reputation. Plus I think Akira would love the chance to tease him too.

I can help with most of it and we can get working on banking some lewd acts.

[ Kissing is nice. Though he looks a little distracted. The mention of Akira reminds him of their conversation from friday. ]

You should know that your dad gave his approval yesterday.

[Kissing is very nice, and Chuuya is mentally debating on if each individual kiss counts for a 'lewd act' or if it's counted per makeout session when Dazai distracts him with that statement.]

Who? Phoenix?

[That's the only dad figure he can think of right now, and Chuuya wouldn't call him 'dad'.]

No, not Phoenix.

[ Dazai still needs to put up a flyer to give Phoenix a new home though. ]

Akira. He thinks I'm going to eventually hurt you.

The ship's already sailed on that one.

[Dazai has hurt him physically and emotionally several times by now, and there's no point in denying it.]

If he really missed all of that then I'm starting to wonder how observant he actually is.

I told him you'd kick my ass, and I'd rather avoid pain.

[ Studying him for a bit. ]

I was wondering why he was behaving weird towards me, but I finally found out why he's been actively staring at me with distrust. He told me about the memory he saw and how it's all my fault.

He's been bugging you about that? Shouldn't the fact that I keep having sleepovers with you be enough of a clue that it's all fine?

[Honestly, it's not all fine, and Chuuya is just avoiding problems that are going to come back to bite him in the ass later. As often happens with him.]

I'll talk some sense into him later.

[ This is probably not a good conversation to have while stuck to each other, but...

From how Akira was behaving and also knowing how much trust Chuuya actually has in others ]

Do you think he blames me for your issues with trusting others?

[ Is it fine really Chuuya? ]

If he does, then he's dumb as a box of rocks. I don't trust people because they use me and discard me after. Only people who don't do that even stand a chance at earning my trust.

[Which is, so far, like five people. Dazai is technically included but his status in the 'trust club' is weird because Chuuya simultaneously dislikes Dazai but also trusts him not to turn on him. Feelings are hard, yo.]

[ Watching him for a bit longer before he sighs. Chuuya can figure who he wants to trust and not trust, and he doesn't want to sway that in any direction.

But if they are going to really tackle this together... ]

It might be beneficial if I'm around when you talk to him. Maybe if he sees how we behave normally, then he'll relax.

[ He has no idea if that's the correct choice since this is uncharted territory. It also seems to be a pain, but Dazai did like bothering Akira and he's important to Chuuya.

Relationships are work ]

Nah, that's part of the problem. We fight all the time and he thinks that means there's something wrong between us.

I'll talk to him first. He gets defensive pretty easily, so maybe me coming at him as a friend will get an honest answer out of him.

[He's trying really hard to avoid addressing his lingering feelings for Akira and how that makes this whole thing even more of a clusterfuck. Emotions suck, he doesn't want them anymore.]

[ He knows that feeling. It almost makes him miss the graveyard, but at the same time...

the graveyard sucked for other reasons. ]

Let me know how it goes.

[ Shifting over closer. ]

I did tell him I want to be better.
