For ninjou.

[tenimuho]

[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.

[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.]

[tenimuho]

That won't work.

[Dazai's cute, but not that cute.]

[ninjou]

I'll loosen my tie a little...

[Something will work...]

[tenimuho]

I don't care.

[Don't actually strip outside, though.]

[ninjou]

You don't care?

[He shakes his head solemnly.]

Ah, I thought I was special...

[tenimuho]

You are. But it's just a tie.

[Pursue that avenue if you want, Dazai, but the amount of clothes you'll need to take off to sway Odasaku will get you arrested for public indecency, and that'll just be embarrassing.]

[ninjou]

I'll take off my bandages~~

[Not in public, obviously.]

[tenimuho]

Doesn't that just make you uncomfortable? I don't want you to do that.

[ninjou]

Mmm... sometimes. Most of the time. You're special.

[tenimuho]

...It's when you say things like that that I can't resist you.

[Affection works much better than other forms of flirting.]

[ninjou]

He turns a little pink.]

Don't say it like that.
