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.

Old man, old man. If you talk about back pain, I'm disavowing knowing you.
no subject
Okay, I won't talk about it.
no subject
Actually, Dazai is the jealous sort so that wouldn't work at all.]
I'd sigh, but it's pointless. [He moves closer and tries to link his pinky with Odasaku's, testing.]
no subject
Odasaku curls his pinky around Dazai's and looks up.]
...The moon's beautiful tonight.
no subject
I can't get over how you look.
[...]
I meant the moon.
no subject
[Does he actually think Dazai meant that? No.]
no subject
[Dazai is not a romantic, but he really... has an Odasaku problem. He has pined for him and respected him and tried his very best to impress him for years.]
no subject
[...that might be a deliberate bit of obtuseness there.]
no subject
Look up. The moon's almost straight overhead. Let your eyes adjust and see if you can see as many stars as you usually can.
no subject
no subject
See?
[He sighs.]
It's different. Very big, bright things can distract us from everything else.
no subject
[That is strangely deep and yet also completely literal.]
Then we'll have to come back out again when the moon isn't as bright if we go stargazing.
no subject
It's better to do it on the new moon.
no subject
[...Dazai gets a kiss on the cheek while he's still looking up.]
no subject
I know a few good places to hide to do it. I never got caught before, anyway.
no subject
[Odasaku slips an arm around Dazai gently.]
no subject
[This is silly. This is dumb. But they're out of sight and Dazai is free to finally tip his head down and rest it on Odasaku's shoulder.]
no subject
[Still, it doesn't mean he has no sympathy at all.]
If you only do it once in a while it should be fine. Everyone needs breaks. Even mafia prodigies.
no subject
[He turns his head and speaks right against Oda's jawline.]
I used to think about leaving. Every once in a while.
no subject
I think you could probably do it now if you wanted to.
no subject
[It's a genuine question.]
I have everything I could possibly need.
no subject
[ahahaha.wav]
no subject
[He's thoughtful.]
Do you think I could just cut the elevator cable and die that way?
no subject
[...it might actually work, though.]
no subject
[Though... He...]
Sometimes I don't want to die. Is that weird?
