Carefully, Dazai opened the door to Akutagawa's bedroom. Despite that by now he had pretty much moved in, most of his stuff being already moved there as he spent every night here and barley even went back to his own room, he still felt like an intruder whenever he was going in there when Akutagawa was away. But maybe in this particular case it was just the intend behind why he came that was the reason his consciousness was telling him he was a criminal.
Still cautious, he closed the door quickly but quietly behind himself — no one was in the hallway yet he still did his best to make as little noise and remain as unseen as possible. As he approached his idol's wardrobe and opened it, a smile of awkwardness on his face and his body feeling warmer from embarrassment, he looked through the clothes that belonged to his idol.
Akutagawa was sent to a delve just a few minutes ago. It's not known how long he will be gone, but that gave Dazai a perfect opportunity to do this — he did his best not to make too much noise as he was looking through the clothes. The kimono Akutagawa usually wars was there and he quietly pulled it out, but as he was doing so he noticed something else — Akutagawa's black cloak was left in the closet as well. This only added to his excitement, and although he hesitated for a moment he ended up taking it as well along with one of the shirts.
He laid the clothes on the bed. Now was the last chance to abort the mission, the fear of getting caught was surfacing in his mind as well as the sense of guilt over his actions. But then it was beaten by the fact he did not knew when he was going to have another chance like this so he pushed through and proceeded. Still embarrassed, Dazai took off his clothes and went ahead and put on the ones he just took out of the closet.
He enjoyed every minute of the soft fabric's sensation on his skin – Akutagawa's clothes were all from such pleasant fabrics. Only the cloak lied still on the bed and for a moment Dazai hesitated but then decided to put it on as well. He walked to the mirror once wearing all of the clothes – they were slightly too big for him, especially the shirt. Yet despite this, Dazai had never felt more comfortable in a piece of clothing. He even tried to copy Akutagawa's poses and mannerisms as he admired his reflection in the mirror.
But that little game of his was suddenly interrupted as the bedroom door opened. Dazai froze in fear as he heard the sound and turned around to see Akutagawa standing in the doorway. At first his expression was that of surprise and confusion as Dazai looked at him too embarrassed to say or do anything, but then he suddenly smiled as he closed the door and approached the red haired man.
"I didn't know I had such a cute, little clothing thief in my room." He petted Dazai on the head which caused him to blush even more " Is that what you're up to when I'm not around?"
"I... I didn't expect you to be back so soon-" Dazai said in an embarrassed tone.
"Well, this delve was an easy job. But I don't feel like speaking of that now." Akutagawa pulled Dazai into a hug and as he did that, he noticed Dazai's own clothes were left beside the bed and smirked to himself. He let go off him and walked away.
"I think we've missed an important lesson with you: it's not kind to be a clothing thief." Akutagawa's voice was with a playful tone but still slightly confused Dazai as he was unsure whether he was about to be scolded. "How would you feel if... I were to steal your clothes?" Akutagawa had picked up Dazai's red coat from the ground and with a smile put it over his shoulders in the same way Dazai usually wears this.
"You know, it's quite soft..." Akutagawa remarked as he was petting the fluffy part around the collar, while Dazai was looking at him paralyzed with every blood cell in his body having rushed to his cheeks. "It's almost as soft as Dazai's hair."
Somehow seeing Akutagawa with his coat and the comment that he made, caused Dazai to blush even more if that was even possible. But still he remained motionless without saying a word as the embarrassment of having being caught had yet to wear off.
"Why are you standing over there? Come here. I want to cuddle you some more." Akutagawa patted the bed next to him as he invited Dazai to come next to him.
Dazai obeyed and as he was told came to sit beside Akutagawa on the bed, but as he was pulled into a hug, he was more or less sitting in his lap rather than next to him. The feeling of his idol's clothes on him felt like a hug itself but it was nothing compared to the real deal which caused him to melt every time no matter how often it happened.
"You're such a cute little thing." Akutagawa smiled as he touched Dazai's nose with his finger. "Why did you want to wear my clothes?"
"Because..." Dazai looked down. "Because Akutagawa-sensei is so handsome... And I wanted to look as handsome as him."
"But Dazai-kun is already handsome."
At this Dazai hid his face with his hands which only caused Akutagawa to pull him closer to his body. He absolutely adored it when Dazai got like this. His facial expressions were always the most adorable ones and he loved to do anything in his power to earn more such reactions from his admirer.
With a soft smile, Akutagawa placed his hand under Dazai's chin, making him face him. For a brief moment they just looked into each other's eyes. Then Akutagawa shortened the distance between their faces and pressed a soft kiss on the other's lips.
They did not know for how long they had been in each other's arms, but soon they were lying on the bed, Dazai's head rested on Akutagawa's chest as Akutagawa was petting it gently while slowly dozing off. Dazai had already more or less fallen asleep – the overwhelming situation and the affection of his idol having worn him out, he lied motionless, still in Akutagawa's clothes from earlier and wrapped in the cloak. Akutagawa was now using Dazai's coat as a blanket on top of himself. He felt rather tired too, given that he was just back from although easy and short, still tiring delve.
Isn't that a broken justice system – instead of a punishment the clothing thief got away with his crime for being cute and even received hugs and a nap as a reward. That was the last thought that came to Akutagawa's mind and he almost laughed out loud at his own dumb joke as he kissed Dazai on the head gently and soon fell asleep himself.
