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.

Comments

[ninjou]

[Dazai is an idiot in love and always has a plan.]

About ten... so there are some comedies, a drama... one of those buddy cop movies. Something about a psychic detective...

[tenimuho]

I think a comedy might be nice. You need to just relax.

[It's been a long day.]

[ninjou]

This isn't about me.

[With a look down at the floor, Dazai contemplates something before taking Odasaku's hand in his.]

We don't see each other much because I'm busy. I'm getting more and more responsibilities with no end in sight. And I don't want to lose this chance with you. So... if I end up doing things like this occasionally, just humor me.

[tenimuho]

[Odasaku gives his hand a squeeze.]

...I don't mind if you want to spoil me now and then, but... I know we're not equals anywhere but in private, but I want to make you happy, too. Please don't forget that.

[He might not have the money or the resources that Dazai has, but he tries his best.]

[ninjou]

There are so many things I'd do if I could.

[He practically beams. He's happy. He hopes he always will be, and that Odasaku will always be by his side.]

No. In private, you're in charge. I'm going to overcompensate for the rest with big, dumb gestures. I fully intend to be yours. Just... yours.

[Shyly, he leans in for a brief kiss.]

Movie?

[tenimuho]

[Another kiss. As many kisses as Dazai wants.]

Movie sounds good.

[ninjou]

[He'll keep holding Odasaku's hand until they get to the couch, then he'll dig out the movie to put it on.]

Here we go... I think this one got good reviews...
