For ninjou.

[There are a lot of reasons why a person would want to humor an up-and-coming mafioso, likely to be one of the youngest executives if not the youngest executive in Port Mafia history.

But Odasaku doesn't really think of what he's doing right now, sitting down and playing video games with Dazai, as 'humoring' him. Even if he's not all that great at fighting games compared to Dazai, and even if it might be considered a little weird, a 20-year-old playing games with a 15-year-old...]

Oh, I lost again.

[...it's fun even when he loses, so he's playing.]

Good game. Want another round?

[tenimuho]

Should I thank you for saying that?

[Alright, now he's trying to pull back a little, this closeness is awkward (at least for him).]

[ninjou]

[Dazai moves in for one more kiss, chaste and fleeting, then pulls away.]

Yeah, go ahead. I've never kissed anyone like that.

[tenimuho]

[He didn't give permission for that - but he also doesn't fight it.]

I'm not surprised. [Because he's young and supposedly relatively inexperienced.]

[ninjou]

[Well. That's insulting.]

Alright.

[Yep, pulling back now.]

[tenimuho]

[Awkwardly disentangles himself.]

Are you happy now?

[Or as happy as Dazai gets.]

[ninjou]

Yeah.

[He's not smiling anymore.]

It's getting late.

[tenimuho]

[...is this the kissing equivalent of a one-night stand.]

You're right. I should go.

[ninjou]

[Nope. Dazai just has to be better next time so Odasaku won't treat him like a novice.]

Well. I'll see you soon, then.

[tenimuho]

Mm. Take care.

[And he'll leave.

...But at some point Dazai will call him over for another visit, and Odasaku will have managed to mostly put the encounter out of his mind by the time he returns.

It was difficult, but he managed.]
