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.

[Dazai smiles so hard it hurts. He hopes Odasaku never regrets this.]

Should we go?

[tenimuho]

Probably. It's getting late.

[...one last kiss for the road.]

[ninjou]

[A beat. He looks up at him.]

Can I stay with you again?

[tenimuho]

If you want.

[Just move in, it'll be fine.]

[ninjou]

If you don't mind sharing a pillow.

[He went there.]

[tenimuho]

...Okay. [The idea doesn't sound bad, but...] But I could just take the couch this time.

[ninjou]

Ahh.....

[That was an unsubtle offer to cuddle, but whatever.]

If you want the couch, take the couch.

[tenimuho]

I don't mind giving up the bed for... oh, you want to cuddle.

[that really wasn't subtle at all Odasaku]

[ninjou]

[NOT ANYMORE.]

You can take the couch~~~

[tenimuho]

Sharing would be nice. [He's embarrassed to have missed that.]

But I also might steal the blankets. I can't promise I won't.

[ninjou]

I don't mind.

[He pulls away, shifts his coat back into place, and heads out of the alley nonchalantly.]

[tenimuho]

[Following shortly after. No PDA while they're out of the alleyway, even if it would be nice.]

Will you eat breakfast this time?

[ninjou]

[Nothing until they're safely behind closed doors.]

I'll stay, yeah. I have to leave before the sun is up, though. Do you care?

[tenimuho]

[He shakes his head.]

As long as you wake me before you go.

[ninjou]

I'll say goodbye this time.

[tenimuho]

Good.

[He really didn't like Dazai disappearing on him. But that's past and done with, anyway.]

[ninjou]

[Right now, his biggest concern should be Dazai walking into things as he watches the stars a bit more.]

Are you tired?

[tenimuho]

[Probably. Don't worry, Dazai, he'll protect you.]

A little bit.

[ninjou]

When we get back, we can stay up a while talking... and then you can sleep on the couch.

[Wink.]

[tenimuho]

Now you're just making fun of me.

[ninjou]

Of course I am. You were being suuuper dense.

[Grinning forever.]

[tenimuho]

If you mock me too much, maybe I really will sleep on the couch.

[Wouldn't that be terrible.]

[ninjou]

Are you trying to resist my charms?

[It would be the worst.]

[tenimuho]

You can't get your way all the time.

[Even though Dazai does get his way 99% of the time.]

[ninjou]

What if I bat my eyelashes a little?

[In the dark.]
