[ Just going to lean in to plant a kiss against his cheek, while also tucking that flower behind Chuuya's ear. Fingers brushing against his lobe before he leans back to see his handy work. ]
You do need to live until the end, Chuuya.
[ If they both live, they can bring six people back between them if it winds up coming down to that. ]
[ He's more okay with this new topic of conversation. Tilting his head to better fit against him as he continues the kiss. Grabbing on to his shirt to keep him there longer. ]
[Calling it a conversation is being very generous, Dazai. That said, he does stay put, his hand cupping Dazai's cheek to hold him there as they kiss long and slow. And when Chuuya pulls away to breathe, he stays close, his warm breath falling onto Dazai's lips.]
[ It's not every day that Chuuya instigates the kissing. Usually Dazai has to bait him into it or get more affectionate before Chuuya does it. Letting go his shirt to rest the palm of his hand against Chuuya's chest right over his heart. His lashes lower as he glances downwards for a moment. ]
It's a good thing I like distracting Chuuya then.
[ His voice comes out as a murmur. Closing the space to kiss his lower lip. ]
[His words also come out as a murmur, and he doesn't sound particularly insistent on actually getting work done at the moment. And when Dazai kisses his lower lip, his eyes slide shut and he'll make that a full kiss once more.
They might be here for a while tbh. Work's on pause, gotta smooch.]
[ He'll hum into the kiss, but it doesn't sound like an agreeing or disagreeing tone. They can work after a good smooch session. They did need to make up for nearly dying and going through all of that shit now that they could be alone for a while.
Once they need to breathe again, he's pressing his forehead against Chuuya's to stay in close. ]
[There's still stuff to plan for too, like seeing if Dazai would be willing to reveal what team he's on to Akira. But smooches are distracting, and they did live through something traumatic, so.
He'll tug Dazai to lean against him while they catch their breath. Pressed close like this, it's fine. Chuuya is even going to use Dazai's own tactic against him and run a hand through his hair.]
[ He'll follow that tug and get as comfortable as he can leaning against him.
There is a sharp inhale as he feels those fingers through his own hair. He's now understanding why Chuuya likes it so much. Curling in closer to him as he let's out a content little sigh. ]
[That hand is not leaving Dazai's hair, though. Time to relax, Dazai, you need it. Maybe those fingertips can massage him into a nap. Chuuya is definitely leaning back so they can lay down in the garden for a bit, Dazai draped over Chuuya.]
[ As soon as Chuuya is laying down, he's going to scoot himself further on the other. He doesn't want to lay on his shoulders and regret it when he wakes up. ]
You usually kiss me instead.
[ It comes out more of a mumble. Yeah, he'll probably drift away like this. Nap and then they can talk more ]
[He sure feels it! And it makes his breath catch for a moment.]
We could take turns?
[It makes more sense in his head, okay?]
Like...you can kiss places other than the mouth, like the forehead or cheek or something. So we could take turns kissing different places, so we can breathe and kiss at the same time.
[Or they could figure out how to breathe through their noses like a normal person would.]
[ He can probably feel that Cheshire grin just before Dazai kisses the side of his neck. It's a soft, quick little kiss because he is le tired and getting sleepier. ]
[There will indeed be time for that later, but first they have to nap and have a serious talk. In that order.
So nap first, among the flowers in the garden and holy shit this is sappy af
But then they can wake up and collect themselves and sit up again. Chuuya will go ahead and tuck away the notebook until after he can talk with a certain someone else. There's other things to talk about, though.]
...Say, Dazai. You okay after all of that? Not just physically, but in your head too.
[ It's not sappy unless one of them says something about it.
Once they are sitting back up, albeit with care to not make him even more sore, he's going to poking at the flowers again.
There's a pause at the question because... lol. Is he ever? ]
Are you worried about me?
[ He has more energy, so the false playfulness is back in his voice. He is curious though if it's concern for Dazai for Dazai's sake or Chuuya's own. ]
What about you? Is Chuuya okay in the head, too?
[ He's going to look the other over and not really be subtle about it. He's checking for tells and trying to guess how Chuuya actually is. Sure, he probably had no issues killing who he did, but Chuuya was much more social in the House than Dazai. He made more connections and had to see all of those bodies and deaths. ]
[Chuuya is quiet, thoughtful. Those are sure signs that something is weighing on his mind, at it might be stuff from the mansion.
He's also looking over the flowers nearby as he talks.]
I'm fine, it was just...a lot, you know? Seeing all those times we failed, except they're just fake memories, but they feel like they're real. Dying. Being mad about dying. Having to face Randou again. You get the idea.
But that's why I'm asking about you. You had to fight Mori.
[ Looking at the flowers instead of looking directly at him.
He didn't feel anything about failing those other people... well not until it came down to two in particular. He did care about losing certain moments, even if he does wish he never came to certain realizations from time to time. The body pile at the end and failing to escape the house also weren't good.
Chuuya then brings up Mori. That gets a little change of expression, making it clear he's also thinking about it. ]
It was obviously a fake one... he slashed at me without even trying to make it look like something I would have done.
[ He's actually thought in great length how Mori would kill him or have him killed. Make it look like a suicide or help guide him to the most effortless way to go. ]
I would be lying though if I said the experience didn't do something to me.
Yeah, it was nowhere near as calculating as he is.
[Still, Chuuya understands what Dazai isn't saying there. And for a moment, Chuuya's expression softens. His thoughts on Dazai still translate into a bunch of incomprehensible garbage right now, but in that moment, when the three of them had to fight, Chuuya had honestly worried about Dazai. He didn't want Dazai to die.]
How did it make you feel? Because it made you feel something, right? Or else you wouldn't look like this.
The false memories were taking away memories that did have an effect on me, however little. You were also the one facing execution for a night and we never found Reito's killer.
[ Though there were some good to that which included not seeing Chuuya checking Reito's body. Though speaking of... ]
