Work Text:
"Hey."
Dazai looked towards the source of the voice calling him.
"Coffee?"
His lips curled into a teasing smile. "Geez, look at Chuuya acting all adult-y."
"Coffee or not." Came the exasperated reply and he finally nodded at that.
"With lots of sugar."
"You're gonna get cavities." The redhead sighed as he put a moderate amount of sweetness in the black coffee.
"It's started. You might want to hurry." Dazai said, raising the volume of his laptop.
" Is everyone here? I'd like to request that everyone turn on their camera. "
"Okay~" Dazai sang, scooting slightly to the side to make room for Chuuya.
It's their first day of online school.
A pandemic has somehow occurred and now everyone is forced to do everything from home; work, school, you name it. Going out is prohibited unless it's really necessary and even when you do, you are required to wear those suffocating masks.
For Dazai, this situation is perfect.
You know, he keeps hearing people around him complaining about how they wish this pandemic never happened or how they want this situation to end soon or how they hate quarantines. Mind you, Dazai loves this.
He's never one to hang out or socialize, anyway so the situation in which he's trapped at home with the one thing he loves? Things have never been better.
Chuuya, though, isn't liking this as much as he does. The active doggy keeps barking about how he's going crazy for being locked up to which Dazai merely replied : "Chuuya's such a child, can't even handle staying at home for a few weeks." Which sparked the fire of another bickering.
Okay, back to the story.
"Dazai, why are you with Nakahara?" Of course, Kunikida-sensei would ask.
"I'm quarantining with Chuuya, obviously! Because chibi's not so cruel to let me wither and die all by myself." He said in a light tone. "Right, Chuuchuu ?"
"Shut up."
The blonde teacher sighed. Class has barely started and he's already massaging his temple. "I don't need to know about that. At least use a different device!"
"No can do, Sensei. Don't you know if we use 2 devices in such a close proximity and turn on the sound, it'll create a feedback that's going to bother the whole class?"
Kunikida-sensei didn't answer immediately. Instead, he muted his microphone and went out of frame for 10 seconds before returning. He adjusted his glasses and defeated, he said : "Do whatever you want. Just, keep it at bay."
"Aye, sir~" Was what Dazai said before turning off his microphone.
"Stop giving him such a hard time, will you?" His boyfriend scolded, making Dazai chuckle.
"But his reaction is so funny. He probably went to scream, earlier."
"You really need to stop tormenting people, especially elders." The redhead rolled his eyes.
"Mhm, is that Chuuya's way of saying he's jealous and wants me to tease him only? Consider it done. Chuuya better be prepared."
"Oi, I didn't say anything about that."
"Liar~" Dazai grinned, head coming to rest on his boyfriend's shoulder.
"Hey, they can see us."
"So?" The brunet took a hold of Chuuya's hand, playing with his fingers. "This is nice."
"It's not. What's the point of school if you can't physically meet your classmates and such?"
"You don't even talk with our classmates."
"And whose fault do you think it is?"
"Chuuya's unsociable personality?"
"Fuck you."
Dazai smirked to himself. "In front of the camera?"
"Oh God, Osamu!"
"Mhm, that's how you usually scream, darling."
"I can't with you!"
" Dazai! Nakahara! "
The ginger jumped in spot, eyes wide as he checked to see if their mic had been on while Dazai was spouting that nonsense and relaxed when he found it muted.
He clicked on the icon to unmute him. "Sorry, Sensei." And muted it again.
"Stop getting me into trouble!"
"Fufu, where's the fun in that?" He said, lifting up Chuuya's hand to kiss his knuckles.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
"You're lying. There's something in your mind."
Dazai actually looked surprised at that, eyes slightly wider before it softened. "How can you tell?"
"I just can. Spit it out."
"I was just thinking. Married life with Chuuya will be just like this."
Of course that melted the ginger.
"You're stupid. I practically live here too during summer vacation."
"I know. It's just- the more I think about it, the more I want it." The brunet told him and Chuuya'd be lying if he said that didn't warm him up.
"... That turned soft real quick. We're in the middle of a class, 'Samu." Chuuya mumbled but he did squeeze Dazai's hand.
"Nee, Chuuya.''
"Hm?"
"Marry me?"
Chuuya's eyes widened, looking at Dazai who's staring back straight at him, no hint of a joke. "What.."
"What do you say? The cost will be cheaper in this pandemic, won't it?"
That made Chuuya burst out laughing. "You're such a cheapskate. Ask me again when you've got the rings prepared and maybe some flowers, wine and expensive ass dinner."
"What are you acting all expensive for!?" The younger one whined.
"Bitch, I am expensive! Ane-san didn't raise me up to say yes or I do to a cheapskate man!"
"I'm serious though. Someday in the future, I'll propose to you."
Chuuya chuckled, ruffling brown hair affectionately. "Better be quick if you don't want me to beat you to it."
That resulted in Dazai pulling Chuuya down by the front of his shirt, out of the camera frame, and he kissed his redhead boyfriend chastely.
"What's that for, idiot." There was no real heat behind Chuuya's voice as he spoke before then he pecked Dazai's lips in return.
" DAZAI! NAKAHARA! "
In surprise, Chuuya's head hit the desk before he reappeared in the camera, rubbing the sore spot.
"Yes, yes, Sensei~" The brunet sang.
" This is your last warning! Pay attention or-! "
"What?" Dazai challenged and Chuuya looked at him like he'd grown a second head. "What are you gonna do, Sensei? Send me home? Suspend me?"
"Osamu!"
" You-!! "
The young man broke into a cheerful laugh. "Just kidding~ I've always wanted to try that. Sorry, Sensei. We'll pay attention."
Yep, online school is definitely the best.
