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.

[tenimuho]

Dazai, they're done.

[Sticks his head back in the room and sighs.]

Dazai. Get up.

[He approaches, slowly. How does he get Dazai up this time... There's Port-Mafia-style tickle torture, but...]

[ninjou]

[He burrows futher under the blankets so only his mussed hair is sticking out. His bandages have slipped, and both his eyes are visible as he peeks out after being scolded.]

Mmmf?

[tenimuho]

If you don't get up, I'll be forced to torture you.

[He pulls the blankets down without mercy. No hiding for Dazai.]

[ninjou]

What kind of tor--hey!

[He's cold now and curls up, then flops onto his stomach before rolling... and rolling... so that he's kind of slithering off the bed and to his feet.

There. He's technically out of bed.]

[tenimuho]

Okay. You don't get the tickle torture today.

[Dazai has been spared, for now.]

[ninjou]

That's amateurish... at least point a gun at me...

[His hair is a mess and he's rubbing his eyes and all his bandages are loose. What a sight.]

[tenimuho]

Don't underestimate my tickle torture. I've never used it and failed.

[Mostly because he only uses it on the kids.]

[ninjou]

I'm underestimating it. I'm not ticklish at all, anyway.

[Wehehehehhe but it would mean such cuteness from...

Did he just think of Odasaku as cute?]

[tenimuho]

[Is that wrong, though?]

Maybe next time we'll test that. Your eggs are ready.

[ninjou]

Hey...

[Whine.]

Kiss?

[So needy...]

[tenimuho]

[He's created a kissing monster.]

One kiss.

[He bends a little to smooch him firmly on the lips.]

[ninjou]

[Kissmonster is accurate. He is such a loser in the mornings. But he seems placated, and properly starts for the kitchen.]

Thank you....

[tenimuho]

Thank you for getting up.

[There are indeed two eggs ready for Dazai, and two ready for Odasaku. They're not even loaded with pepper or anything.]

[ninjou]

It's so hard.

[Eggs tho. He wanders over and looks at the fork for a moment before he picks it up and begjns to eat.]

[tenimuho]

Bon appetit.

[Odasaku takes a seat and pours entirely too much pepper on his own eggs before eating them. Yikes.]

[ninjou]

[Dazai chokes and coughs just watching him.]

How do you do that...

[tenimuho]

I like it this way.

[Sorry, Dazai.]

[ninjou]

That's madness. You'll destroy your mouth.

[tenimuho]

[????????????]

I'm just fine.

[ninjou]

[He grins.]

I'm kidding. As long as it makes you happy, it's good.

[tenimuho]

[They're just eggs, but he does like them.]

Do you like yours?

[ninjou]

Of course.

[His half affected grin says "because you made them"... and then he laughs.]

[tenimuho]

That's good.

[Mission: Make Dazai Eat Breakfast is going well.]

Take your time. You can stay as long as you want.

[ninjou]

I can't stay long, but I'll be here tonight.

[He blinks, sighs, and looks at the eggs intently.]

I'm being presumptuous, obviously.

[tenimuho]

I already told you you could come over. That's not presuming anything.
