Work Text:
Every morning Chuuya wakes up before his lazy partner, who tries to keep him in bed- because he's warm of course-.
It spends one year since they lived under the same roof, which is a miracle; their fights would never end, the problems they cause and the amount of stuff they broke so yeah it's a miracle they didn't BURN the house
On their way back home after every mission Chuuya would look around to buy stuff Dazai broke or get something he liked while passing by but today is a bit different, he saw couples holding hands, others holding bouquet with colourful flowers, others eating chocolate and kissing.
It feels kinda weird.
Well? He usually sees such views but there is something about the atmosphere around them today.
He starts looking around and find: Red balloons, hearts every where and special food with special dresses.
At that moment he figured out... Today's Valentine's Day! He look at Dazai, who doesn't seem to care -He actually doesn't care at all-
It'd be nice if he cares a bit.
"Oi!! Stupid Mackerel!!" He puts the plates on the table and looks for Dazai.
"Dazai?!" He didn't find him anywhere but he finds a note:
// Mori called, I won't be back early. Eat alone. //
It was bold with no warmth in lovers day.
Why did he even think Dazai would be his lover? He's not even damn 'LOVER' type!
... Maybe?
They returned home and did nothing but the usual, Dazai pisses Chuuya off until he rages and almost drop him from the balcony, Chuuya cleans up the mess Dazai cause after he shower.
He simply throws away the shampoo bottles as if they're nothing but a ball, he also throws his bandage packs, telling his partner they're nothing but a waste because they don't last for too long as he wants.
And that's how another year passed and the kids are 17 now.
Tomorrow is going to be Valentine and Chuuya wants to make Dazai something this time, to hopefully, his partner accept it WITHOUT making fun of him.
At the end he DID make something for his waste of bandage partner, he made him Chocolates with no perfect the shape but the flavour is amazing!!
Thanks to Kõyõ, he now have wonderful gift for Dazai, but does HE have something for Chuuya?
Who cares? He knows very well how dead his partner is and how he won't make anything since he's not the romantic type like Chuuya.
He rushed to their apartment when a question knocked his brain's door
//What if Dazai prepare something for tomorrow?//
His partner is capable to do A LOT and he knows that very well but the thought it's from him scares him a bit.
What if he bring something weird? What if he prank him? What mess will he cause in this special day?
While his brain fought those thoughts silently, someone accidentally pushed him causing the bag of chocolate to fall on the street "Oh my God! I'm so sorry, are you ok?"
"I am but- NO!! no no no WAIT!!" He run to catch the bag but most of it was already crashed by the cars.
He drop on his knees and watched his hard work smashed under the cars tires.
He finally got home with what he managed to save.
When he shut the door, only silence welcomed him, that's when his heart screamed telling him maybe he's destined to not fall in love DEEPER with his crush.
The front door he just shut is now open after it crashed the wall.
Who knows why and how but Dazai's standing there looking at Chuuya with wide crimson eyes.
From the sunset back him, he can see him sweating from running? Searching?
"Dazai–?" He found his face crashed into Dazai's chest who's fighting to catch his breath, his heart beats "..." Was he... Worried ?
"Where were you?" He asked softly, Chuuya couldn't help but to answer with trembling voice "I was with Ane-San the whole day." His arms moved to hold Dazai tighter because he is WARM, "You could've batteries your phone... I was worried about you." He kissed his head, while breathing his hair, he whispered beneath them "I thought something happened to you, especially after I heard from some people a red head almost got crashed by a car."
"No, don't worry... I'm fine. Also ya know such thing can't even scratch me."
"Heh, true." He let himself enjoy the moment, between Dazai's arms he can feel nothing but warmth, his partner's heart beat and happiness.
Maybe he should try doing this again later? And see what other reactions Dazai can make when it comes to HIM and his safety.
"You smell chocolate, did you buy some?" Chuuya pushed him away, he didn't miss the RED face "What? So you bought some?" Chuuya looked away lifting the chocolate bag and handling it to Dazai "First, I made them. Second, that's what I managed to save."
He waited for a laugh, pokes or anything to ruin the moment but NO! "They're delicious Chibi, you should make me more~" Even though he KNOWS Dazai isn't desserts fan but he's so damn happy to see him enjoys them.
Their night didn't have anything special, they ate what last from last night, watched TV then went to sleep, of course while holding each other...
"Psst Chuuya?" He heard grumbles and mumbles like
"Shut up!"
"Let me sleep stupid mackerel."
"Five more minutes~"
"Leave me jerk!"
Dazai couldn't help it but laugh "I made you breakfast sweety~~" Chuuya jumped once he heard those words from DAZAI'S LIPS.
"What? You did what?" Dazai helped him to sit properly in bed, lift a small table and put dishes and vas on it.
He stares at the pancakes Dazai made and it look like him, the flowers Dazai put in the vas are Marigold, they match his hair color.
Osamu Dazai, who has no sense of being romantic made THIS for HIM?
He cried from happiness with every bite he'd say it's so good or he make sounds of pleasure.
With this Dazai knows he did GREAT, he managed to pin in his lover's heart a BEAUTIFUL and WARM memory, to hide the bad one- the last year's-.
Their day didn't end there, Dazai bought tickets to spend the rest of the day in amusement park eating, playing and OF COURSE making each other wear funny things to take pictures- for memory not to make fun of each other later no NEVER-.
After that they went to 5 Stars restaurant, which Dazai forced it's owner to empty the roof for them to enjoy the views, Chuuya laughed about this fact but he's happy, happy that Dazai care about him.
"You didn't have to do all of this, ya know?" Dazai looked at him for a moment and back at the sky "You think so?" He shrugs
"I mean... I did this for you." He pulled Chuuya to a corner and lift his chin "I saw you last year and I knew you want that SO BADLY." He smirked at him "How can I not gift MY dog?" Chuuya is on fire begging his legs to not fail him.
"Yeah... I wanted this SO BADLY." He wants to try and tease Dazai, to see where this convo will lead them
"And because I wanted it, my owner should make it perfect 'till the end~" He pulled his arms around Dazai's neck with a smile from the corner making his partner's eyes darker and hungry but he did nothing he just walked away leaving Chuuya blank...
What the actual fuck?! Did he just LEAVE him hanging there?!
It doesn't matter. It didn't matter because he knows one day Dazai will give him the gift he DESIRES the most.
But this hope got crashed when he knew Dazai left the mafia after Oda's death.
He was stupid to believe this relation will last forever. There he is... ALONE in the second Valentine without his stupid mackerel.
When he got home, he walked in hopelessly to find anything special because he knows he left.
"I thought you won't come Chibi." Voice from the dining room made Chuuya's jaws and eyes WIDE open.
"Yo– You?" He wanted to say more but Dazai stopped him by pulling him into warm hug before taking him to his seat.
He made him A LOT of his favorite food.
"..." He's crying again from happiness, it's here, it's back! What he has missed is back!
Dazai is here, Dazai is behind him again and that relieved the tall guy because it's what he want to see; the smile his life gets brighter when he sees it.
"I never thought you'll show me your fucking handsome face after you betrayed me." Dazai's now the one who's SHOCKED "Ahaha yeah sorry about that." He scratch the back of his neck, looking away from Chuuya
"Are you happy?" Chuuya wondered.
"Yeah... It ain't bad life as I thought."
After they finished their dinner Dazai laid on the sofa with Chuuya between his arms, he looked at him with sheepish eyes "Wanna play sweetheart?" Chuuya's eyes wide open with face on fire, screaming at Dazai who lift him to THEIR bedroom.
What matters, Chuuya had what he desired since they were 16. Their relation became stronger.
From enemies to partners, from partners to friends, from friends to lovers.
They know one day they'll become from lovers to couples.
And who knows? Maybe they'll get married.
But that's another story will be left for another time
