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]

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.

[tenimuho]

I thought I was gullible most of the time.

[He's heard it often enough, usually from Ango trying to warn him not to believe everything Dazai says.]

[ninjou]

[Sometimes Ango is right. Sometimes.]

I'll go back with you. And sleep with you.

[tenimuho]

I'll try not to steal all the blankets.

[Key word being try.]

[ninjou]

Maybe I won't care.

[Heh. Dazai is a pillow thief.]

[tenimuho]

We'll see.

[They're going to wake up super tangled, aren't they.]

[ninjou]

[Dazai will be on top of him.

Off they go. Surely they're almost there.]

[tenimuho]

[It's more comfortable that way.

And shortly after - here they are. Odasaku holds the door open for Dazai, like a gentleman.]

[ninjou]

[Oh, how kind! Dazai goes in, removes his shoes properly, and hangs his coat and suit jacket up by the door.]

Two nights in a row...

[tenimuho]

[Odasaku does the same.]

You might as well move in at this rate.

[ninjou]

I like this better than where I live now, you know. Mostly because you're here, and it's quiet.

[He holds out his hand.]

Let me be an idiot again, alright? You can forgive me later.
