Heh. I can think of plenty of people who'd call me vain for drinking to that one. Lucky I'm drinking with you instead.

[Chuuya drinks, naturally.]

Well, never have I ever been a sexy redhead.

That's not as bad as people make it sound. I'd take that over an arranged marriage, honestly.

...And my only serious dating relationship had my girlfriend leave me for my best friend, so honestly, you're not missing much.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Arranged, huh? That sounds pretty goddamn awful.

[Chuuya can’t even imagine being married to someone he didn’t even like, or hardly knew.

His expression softens as he listens to other-Chuuya's unfortunate love life.]

That’s shitty. [A pause.] For the record, I’d never do that.

[goatsongs]

[It'd be hard to leave Chuuya for someone who's still dead and not summoned as a spirit, but that's a little too gloomy even for this conversation.]

Yeah? Are you asking me to be your boyfriend?

[He thinks other-Chuuya is joking.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Boyfriend...now that’s a word Chuuya hadn’t ever imagined would describe himself.]

Maybe.

[Aww. Look at him blush.]

I mean...I like you more than anyone else, so.

[goatsongs]

[Oh.

Chuuya's wide eyes and suddenly red cheeks are proof enough that he hadn't actually expected other-Chuuya to say yes or even maybe.

Dating other-Chuuya... He does like him more than anyone else alive. He likes sleeping with him, he likes drinking with him, and he likes talking to him and waking up next to him even when no sex is involved.

So...]

If... If you asked, I'd say yes.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[This is the first time Chuuya has seen other-Chuuya so flustered outside of sex. It’s honestly adorable.

He likes other-Chuuya so much that he’s been spending every second of his free time with him lately, and he can’t really see himself wanting to fuck or date anyone else when they’re this close, so...]

Will you...

[A deep blush as Chuuya forces himself to look poet-Chuuya in the eye.]

Be my boyfriend?

[goatsongs]

[They're both blushing way more than they do for anything not related to sex, and Chuuya can't bring himself to care right now.

The answer shouldn't be surprising, but it makes Chuuya giddy to actually give it:]

I will.

[And he kisses other-Chuuya softly on the lips.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Good.

[Chuuya gives other-Chuuya a genuine, warm smile before returning the kiss, his fingers sliding through silky blond locks.]

We’d make a formidable team, you know. We could kick both Dazai’s asses for fun sometime.

[goatsongs]

It'd be both of us kicking your Dazai's ass, all you'd have to do is look at my Dazai and he'd surrender.

Still sounds fun. I'm up for that whenever.

[Except not right now, because getting up sounds like a pain when he's warm and happy here. He's just going to play with other-Chuuya's hair right now.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Heh. That bad, huh?

[Well, the guy had looked on the verge of running away screaming when he’d seen tiny-Chuuya in the hall.

He hums happily as his hair is played with. Normally he’d grump and snap at anyone that tried casually touching it like this, so that’s just another testament to how special other-Chuuya is.]

Oh yeah, who’s your neighbor? They’d better get used to the noise.

[goatsongs]

[He's already playing with Chuuya's hair, it's fair that Chuuya plays with his hair in return.]

Izumi Kyouka. He's already given up yelling at me about loud sex in the middle of the day, don't worry about him.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Izumi Kyouka? God, that’s so fucking weird. The Kyouka I know is a fourteen year old ex-assassin. And a girl.

[He doesn’t know why he’s surprised, considering the Chuuya and Dazai thing, but hearing that dead author Kyouka is a guy is a bit surprising.]

Whatever. I’m too tired to think about it.

[A yawn as he snuggles (snuggles!) into other-Chuuya.]

[goatsongs]

[Who the hell wants to talk about Kyouka when there is snuggling to be done.]

Goodnight. I'll see you in the morning.

[...the first morning waking up beside his boyfriend, huh. He's looking forward to it, and every day with Chuuya after that.]
