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.

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]

[dhdjdbksndjdnDBEIDBDFNDB

He turns a little pink.]

Don't say it like that.

[tenimuho]

Didn't you say it like that first...?

[Technically it was 'resist Dazai's charms' rather than 'resist Dazai' but it's the same thing.]

[ninjou]

It turns out it sounds weird...

[tenimuho]

[......]

You're so handsome, Dazai. And so charming. Take me, I'm yours.

[This is all said in Odasaku's regular flat tone of voice, without a change in expression.]

[ninjou]

[This face.]

I changed my mind. I'm going back.

[tenimuho]

It was a joke.

[Dazai probably realizes that.]

[ninjou]

[Oh he does, but he's pointedly walking in a random direction now.]

I have a game to play anyway...

[tenimuho]

I'm sorry. I won't do it again.

[Come baaaack.]

[ninjou]

[He veers back over, smiling.]

You're gullible tonight, too.
