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.

[Odasaku, get ready to fall harder in love with your accidentally cute boyfriend.]

I'll borrow the shirt, then. It'll be comfortable if it's a little big.

[tenimuho]

[It will be really, really hard not to kiss him a lot when he sees it.]

Take any one you like.

[ninjou]

[Kiss him. Do it. Get sick.]

The purple one you wear when you're going to meetings. I want that one.

[tenimuho]

[but then they'll have to postpone having sex even longer]

Any reason why?

[ninjou]

[Oh. Right.]

Because I think of it when I remember when I fell for you. You were wearing it.

[tenimuho]

...Oh. I'm glad I kept it then.

[It's getting kind of old by now.]

[ninjou]

Right. Me too. You don't wear it as much now, but I figured you still had it.

[tenimuho]

I might not ever get rid of it now.

[It's suddenly much more sentimental.]

[ninjou]

Careful. If that's the case, I'll wear it to sleep in when I come over. It's soft...

[tenimuho]

You say that like that's bad.

[ninjou]

I'll curl up in it and think, ah, this smells like Odasaku's cologne...

[tenimuho]

My cologne isn't even that strong.

[Why do you do this.]

[ninjou]

"Ah, this smells like nothing" then.

[He sounds stuffy, but he sounds better. The soup is helping.]

[tenimuho]

Now you're messing with me.

[ninjou]

Odasaku...

[He looks at him with genuine, pure intent, and gentle eyes.]

Thank you.

[tenimuho]

[Please stop doing things that make him want to hug you, Dazai.]

What for?

[ninjou]

[He holds the soup up a little.]

I wasn't feeling well, and this is helping.

[tenimuho]

[Oh right, that.]

It's nothing. I can't just let you suffer.

[ninjou]

[Sip. Sip. Slurp. Sip.]

So the part about us sleeping together... I didn't dream that either?

[tenimuho]

[Ah.]

You didn't. We'll do that when you're better.

[ninjou]

I guess I was pretty blunt about it...

[tenimuho]

'Make love to me'. That's what you said.

[It was really tempting.]

[ninjou]

Oh.

[Poor Odasaku.]

How embarrassing. I don't say things like that.

[tenimuho]

It was pretty strange to hear that from you...

[ninjou]

I'm sorry for being shocking. I'll be better about it next time.
