    Summary

    Chuuya Nakahara was dead. He was dead, and he was never coming back. That was obvious, but when you are mourning, you go through a little thing called denial. Just like when you fall in love. You deny that they are gone, in hopes that maybe you will be right if you just don’t face it.

    Osamu Dazai was not an idiot. He knew death like a close friend– he’d witnessed it, caused it, and he’d attempted to bring it to himself many times. He knew how it worked like the back of his hand.

    But, as always his partner was different from the rest and managed to change many things about him. Brought new thoughts to him, made him feel things nobody had made him feel before. One of those new thoughts was, why wasn’t Chuuya home yet?

    Realistically, Dazai knew. He knew that his husband was dead, that he wouldn’t walk through that door and announce loudly how he was home, and pretend to be annoyed with how Dazai didn’t eat the lunch he’d made for him, when really he was just concerned.

    But, as was said earlier, when your loved ones die you grieve, and part of grief is denial.
