For
ninjou.
[Tonight, Dazai is really drunk.
This is not different from most other nights in their favorite bar, save for a few things.
1. Ango isn't here.
2. Dazai is really drunk. The kind of drunk that has Odasaku concerned that he might be trying to die through liver failure. That drunk.
And so, it's with hesitation that he speaks up.]
Maybe you should stop drinking for tonight.

[Also quietly. It sounds sweet, especially if done while more sober than the last time one of them walked the other home.]
no subject
[Reading your mind, Odasaku. He missed him... For a whole day, sure, but it felt like forever being in emotional limbo.]
no subject
[He didn't mind the walking home part, exactly - he would have even given up his bed without complaint.]
no subject
I'll try to keep from getting that drunk around you.
no subject
[For one, he just doesn't drink that much, and for another he doesn't think Dazai is the most responsible person to deal with someone falling-down drunk. Ango, maybe.]
no subject
Alright. When do you want to leave?
no subject
[A drink or two is still okay.]
no subject
I'll be good. When you're done, we can leave. [He gestures to the glass in Odasaku's hand.] Ango won't be here tonight.
no subject
[Keeping it a secret from Ango would seem weird, but then again, telling anybody is bad, and Ango is an anybody.]
no subject
Are we telling him? We're not dating or anything, I'm just... you know. In like. And you just want to... you know. With me.
no subject
[Which is wrong, and Dazai should stop thinking that.]
We can tell him if you want.
no subject
[A sigh.]
I'm still not used to thinking about you caring about me. I've been hanging on to you for years, you know. But I was a kid.
[And now he is less of one and he knows what he wants.]
Do you want to tell him?
no subject
[People they don't talk too much, or together, are one thing. Ango is another.]
no subject
[Ango won't judge... hopefully?]
no subject
no subject
[This is a terrible idea. Terrible. Godawful.
Oda, be the voice of reason.]
no subject
[He knows you, Dazai.]
no subject
[Hrm.]
We're not dating, are we?
no subject
You said we weren't. So we're not.
no subject
Great. Maybe sometime, but... I'm really not good to date.
[He's never actually tried.]
no subject
[As good as anyone can be, in the mafia. They've all got their issues.]
no subject
Do you really think so?
no subject
[Maybe other people have different standards.]
no subject
[Is he settling a hand over Odasaku's for like .0001 seconds? Yes he is.]
no subject
[Dazai's just getting this smile when Odasaku feels that touch.]
