Summary
Chuuya walked over to Dazai's bed, he had no idea what he'd do, no plan of how to drag the boy out of his misery. For a minute he just stood there, taking in the distant look that had settled into Dazai's eyes, like he wasn't truly there.
He sat in the corner, the mattress dipped beneath his weight and his warmth flowed through the thin blanket. This physical shift seemed to have dragged Dazai out of his hypnotic state, he looked over to Chuuya with an unblinking stare. The look carried no ulterior motive, there was no scrutiny, no anticipation, there was nothing. He was just looking. That terrified Chuuya.
He knew what to do when Dazai would scheme, he knew what moves to pull when the bastard would try to predict everything; but now, the weight of uncertainty dawned on Chuuya, he truly did not know what to do with this new piece of vulnerability that was shown to him involuntarily.
"Dazai, what's wrong?" It was a stupid question, he didn't know why he asked, he knew with full certainty that Dazai wouldn't answer that or even acknowledge it for that matter. It was never that easy with him.
