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]

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.

[ninjou]

You did tell me to move in.

[He's slightly amused. Watch him abuse every invitation.]

[tenimuho]

I don't have a second dresser. You might have to live out of a suitcase.

[That gets annoying after a while, or at least he assumes it does.]

[ninjou]

Ahhh, fine, fine. I'll just sleep here.

[Yes, he's being bad.]

Kidding. Give me a few more days, though.

[tenimuho]

A few more days is fine.

[...they'd draw suspicion eventually, but until then - sleeping next to Dazai had been wonderful. Sweet.]

[ninjou]

[It was weird. He wants to get used to it before he has to give it up. He doesn't care if it's suspicious, though. No one should care. If they do, he'll correct it.]

If it's inconvenient for you, I want to know. We're... friends. [More than that. Not sure what.]

[tenimuho]

It's not inconvenient. It's nice.

...Just please don't use my toothbrush. Everything else is fine.
