Work Text:
If he could, Atsushi would spend the rest of his days doing nothing but cuddling and kissing Dazai. He was addicted to the bandaged man’s warmth and taste. He knew Dazai felt the same; he would always pout and ask for one more kiss before they headed off to work. As much as Atsushi wanted to indulge, to forget about work because he knew just one more kiss wouldn’t satisfy either of them, one of them had to be the responsible one.
Their happiest moments were when they were laying on the couch, Dazai on top of Atsushi and between his legs. Atsushi almost always had one hand cradling the brunette’s face, keeping him close while playing with the chocolate brown locks between his fingers. His other hand would run up and down Dazai’s back, occasionally massaging his shoulders and lower back.
Dazai would always be gripping Atsushi’s shirt. It was like he was trying to ground himself as his mind went blank, just focused on how Atsushi made him feel, while also trying to keep Atsushi there despite the fact he was already laying most of his body weight on top of the weretiger.
Occasionally, Atsushi would take a break from Dazai’s lips and instead kiss along his jawline. Dazai allowed this instead of whining and chasing his lips like he did when Atsushi broke their kisses to simply breathe for a moment. It seemed like he was fine as long as Atsushi’s lips were somewhere on him. Luckily, Atsushi loved having his lips on Dazai’s body just as much as Dazai did.
Sometimes they had the TV or music playing in the background, sometimes they didn’t. Either way, it didn’t matter. In those moments, they were in their own little world and everything around them barely registered in their minds. They probably wouldn’t even notice if a hurricane suddenly hit.
The only sounds Atsushi cared about were the soft sighs and whines from Dazai as he nibbled and sucked at the older man’s skin.
Time also disappeared when they were together like this. They could be on the couch for mere minutes to possibly hours; they never really noticed or cared. Unfortunately, they were human, and their human needs often reminded them of what time it was with a stomach growl or a sudden wave of sleepiness that drew out a yawn. Neither of them liked it, but they had to come back to the real world eventually.
Their kisses would continue when they got to bed. They were shorter and a bit lazier, but just as full with love as the ones on the couch were. Even on warmer nights, the couple would share their warmth with each other. Their legs tangled together and their hands caressed each other’s bodies.
Usually, Atsushi would end up falling asleep first, even if he tried fighting it. As he drifted off, Dazai would continue to press gentle kisses on his forehead and cheeks. Then Atsushi would find himself with his head tucked under Dazai’s chin as the older man also let sleep take over.
On most days, mornings meant completely coming back to reality. Atsushi kept their kisses short and sweet, despite Dazai’s pouting and begging for more with his (absolutely adorable) sleepy voice.
Sometimes, though, Atsushi would allow himself to be pulled back into bed by his lover. He allowed himself to be pulled back into their own little world where nothing mattered but their love for each other. Then the alarm on his phone would notify them that they were going to be late to work if they didn’t hurry.
Kunikida never commented on how on the days the pair would arrive late or nearly late were the days that he least likely had to deal with Dazai being shameless and climbing into Atsushi’s lap in the middle of work, or Atsushi being just ever so slightly distracted from his reports and glancing at Dazai throughout the day.
Maybe their addictions to each other was because they were both ridiculously touch starved and were unconsciously trying to make up for the many loveless years they lived. Maybe they were simply still in their honeymoon phase even after over a year of dating. The reason didn’t matter to either of them, they never bothered to ponder it.
All that mattered was that they were both the happiest they had ever been and deeply in love with each other.
