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]

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

[ninjou]

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

[tenimuho]

I didn't really mind...

[ninjou]

No?

[He sorts a bit and has some more soup.]

I was basically begging you to have sex with me. See? I can say it normally, too.

[tenimuho]

I know. It almost worked on me.

[Must stay strong. Must not spread germs and have a gross first time.]

[ninjou]

I'm... really sorry. I'm not normally like that when it comes to sex.

[Slurp. God, the soup tho...]

I hope you're not disappointed.

[tenimuho]

I'm not.

[It was effective, but it was still weird.]

[ninjou]

I meant when we do it.

[Always full of surprises, this one.]

[tenimuho]

You're not going to disappoint me.

[Even if he's terrible at it.]

[ninjou]

[Dazai is not terrible at sex hdu.]

You'll have to be gentle with me~

[tenimuho]

[It was a hypothetical 'if'.]

I was going to do that anyway.

[ninjou]

Have you thought about it before? Not just while I'm here...

[tenimuho]

...I've thought about it some.

[Wow that spot on the wall is really interesting.]

[ninjou]

You're looking forward to it, right?

[tenimuho]

Of course I am.

[ninjou]

[He sets his spoon down and reaches for Odasaku's hand.]

I've slept with a few people, but I didn't really care about any of them.

[tenimuho]

[Dazai's hand gets a squeeze.]

It's the same with me.

[ninjou]

I've never been in love with any of them.

[tenimuho]

I've never been in love with anyone but you. So it'll be new for both of us.

[ninjou]

I didn't have time to be in love with anyone else.

[A little smile.]

You stole me away.

[tenimuho]

I guess I have to take responsibility now.

[With kisses, and things like that.

Later.]

[ninjou]

If you don't, I'll cry.

[tenimuho]

[...says the person who claimed never to cry.]

I don't want you to cry.

[ninjou]

Do you think it's fine for us to be together, anyway? Your honest opinion. Does it ever make you worried?

[tenimuho]

Honestly? ...Sometimes. I worry about someone trying to use me against you.
