Sitting on a park bench after a mission, Chuuya took a deep breath and stretched his arms out, exhaling in relief at a mission well done. Beside him, Dazai smiled mirthfully and protruded a ring pop, hastily ripping open the wrapper to his blue raspberry ring pop. Suddenly, Dazai drops to one knee before Chuuya and grins his cheshire cat grin. Grabbing Chuuya’s hand dramatically, he carefully wraps his hands around Chuuya’s fingers.
“Oh chibi~ most wonderful slug!” Dazai cooed dramatically, holding the sugary blue confectionery in front of Chuuya. “I know we haven’t been together long, but I can no longer wait! I beg of you, be my servant forever and marry me? and be my dog?” Dazai waved the ring around theatrically.
“You… What??... I…” Chuuya blinks and gapes at Dazai. A light pink dusted his cheeks briefly before quickly regaining his composure. “Tch, what makes you think I’d wanna marry a stupid mackerel like you?” Chuuya grumbled.
“Aww, that’s not a no, though, is it? Chuu~ya~” Dazai hums, enunciating every syllable of Chuuya’s name precariously, fluttering his lashes as he looks up at Chuuya. He squeezed Chuuya’s hand affectionately and smiled
“Shut up!” Chuuya grumbled, plucking the obscurely blue candy out of Dazai’s hand and inspecting it thoughtfully.
After a long pause, Chuuya clears his throat. “You dumbass waste of bandages.”
“YES?” Dazai perks up, training his eyes on Chuuya intently, awaiting the answer to his question.
Chuuya stares Dazai in the eye as he stuck the ring pop in his mouth and… Crunch. “You’re gonna have to get better taste in rings if you want me to even begin to consider marrying you, you dumbass waste of bandages.”
Placing a hand over his heart, Dazai sinks further down onto his knees and wails. “My feelings are hurt, chibi. How can you be so heartless as I pour my heart out to you? Are you divorcing me before we even get married?! How could you chew up the ring I worked so hard to save up for?!”
"A divorce sounds nice," Chuuya shrugs, jabbing the ring pop menacingly at Dazai he continued. “You’re not tryna poison me, are you?”
With an audible gasp, Dazai huffs.“I would never!”
Popping the candy back in his mouth Chuuya shrugs. “Whatever. Your stupid treat is staining my tongue blue… That’s disgusting, and you actually enjoy this stuff?”
“It’s good stuff!!”
“No wonder you act like a sugar-high six-year-old!”
Dazai sighs and shakes his head, “After all my hard work for a perfect proposal, at least appreciate my effort. Looks like I’ll be looking for another ring then….”
Chuuya grimaced. “I suppose that would be for the best.” He coughed, trying to suppress a snort at Dazai’s antics.
Dazai’s eyes lit up, and the depressing aura around him faded as quickly as it appeared. “I’ll get you next time, Chuuya!” Dazai vows with a wink.
Chuuya rolled his eyes. “Oh, you can try.”
“I will! I’m gonna make you mine. So I can torment you, of course.”
“I’m sure you will,” Chuuya mutters as he sat back on the bench, trying to get some rest before the next mission. Dazai plops down beside him and slouches, leaning his head against Chuuya’s shoulder.
However, being the rivals lovers they were, the blissful moment was bound to be shattered.
“Hey, chibi?”
“What?”
“You really do look like a chibi baby sucking on the ring pop, y’know?” Dazai hums. “Looks like you’re sucking on a pacifier, didn’t know you were such a childish slug~.”
“YOU!!!”
Dazai laughs, walking away, hand behind his head as Chuuya leaps up and chases after him, shouting a slew of curse words, but not before tossing the ring pop into a garbage bin. The two run down the streets of Yokohama, leaving behind them a wake of perplexed stares as Dazai vows to marry Chuuya and Chuuya attempts to strangle Dazai as he mumbles something about a proper engagement ring.
