For ninjou.

[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]

[That was weird. Odasaku doesn't think it was a particularly strange kiss.]

What?

[ninjou]

Hot.

[Why. Why!]

It's hot...

[tenimuho]

[...oh. The pepper.]

Should I wash out my mouth?

[ninjou]

Water.....

[HE IS DYING DO YOU NOT CARE????]

[tenimuho]

[Oooooooh, right. He'll go pour Dazai a glass.]

Here you go.

[ninjou]

[Chugging now.]

Thank... you... [Cough cough wimpy cough...]

[tenimuho]

I'll warn you next time you try it.

[He might forget again, and then where would we be.]

[ninjou]

[The Death of Dazai Osamu.]

It was worth it.

[tenimuho]

I can give you kisses that aren't peppery. They're not a limited resource.

[ninjou]

They're a limited resource. I get them at night, and first thing in the morning, and I might be addicted.

[tenimuho]

You can go a few hours without them.

[...he has to, so he'd better be able to.]

[ninjou]

It's a form of torture.

[He will be good now.]

[tenimuho]

Aren't you good at that?

[How the tables turn.]

[ninjou]

Right, but you aren't. I wonder what that would look like.

[Active imagination in three... two...

[tenimuho]

[Think. Thinky think.]

Hopefully I never make you want to torture me.

[ninjou]

[The sound he accidentally makes is probably kind of amazing because he is picturing that only not in a gory way or a horrible way...]

[tenimuho]

Please don't.

[he is definitely thinking gore right now]

[ninjou]

[He is so, so, so not.]

Please torture me.

[tenimuho]

We already had this conversation about hurting you.

[???????]

[ninjou]

[His brain is somewhere yours is not, Odasaku. The smile is vibrant.]

You don't have to hurt me hurt me...

[tenimuho]

[That's sort of the definition of torture, Dazai-

-oh. Wait. He's getting it.]

I wouldn't be any good at that.

[ninjou]

[tenimuho]

What?

[Don't give him that look.]

[ninjou]

Pleeeeeeeaaaassseee?

[tenimuho]

I really don't think I'm up to whatever you're thinking about.
