It was a bustling bar during evening. You could hear voices from every corner. The clanging of plates and glasses as they were being used by the bartender. The scent of cheap beer wafted in the air.
"I've seen you at your worst. I still stayed"
Dazai looked at Chuuya, whose head was down on the bar counter.
For the last 3 consecutive nights, Chuuya had asked Dazai to come for a drink with him. It was only ever supposed to be one drink, but it never ended that way.
They had been there celebrating their 11 year anniversary together as a couple...and it was supposed to be a happy occasion.
By the time the night was over, they were both good and drunk...and one always ended up in the other's bed.
"Yeah well... I don't like myself at my worst." Chuuya said as he kept his head on the counter but looking straight ahead.
"Hey let me tell you something... we've known each other for so long that we've seen each other at our highest and lowest points... some points were the lowest of the low, and yet we've survived." Dazai said as he swirled his drink around in his glass, allowing the ice cubes to clink slightly around.
Chuuya glared as he thought about all the times he and Dazai had been through the worst shit in the world.
"I suppose you have a point there. Tsk, fuck I hate it when you're right. But to have anyone else outside of you and the Flags see me like that is fucking embarrassing...and the Flags aren't around anymore to see me flip out the way I do at times." He said.
Dazai rolled his eyes softly, and shook his head "God damn it Chuuya... Why must you torture yourself? You know you can't just keep beating yourself up. It wasn't your fault about what happened to them." He said.
Chuuya looked up at Dazai, facing him for the first time since they came into the bar.
"Don't you think I fucking know that, you God damned fool! But I can't let it go! They were my family... they looked after me. So excuse me if i seem just a little pissed off that they're all fucking dead." He said.Dazai sighed "Okay okay... you need some air." He said taking Chuuya outside.
Chuuya sighed heavily as he followed Dazai outside the bar into the slightly cool night air "Why the fuck did you bring me out here?" He asked.
Dazai kissed Chuuya softly on the lips "Well sweetheart. You just need to relax. You're too tense and we are supposed to be having fun since it's our anniversary.... besides I couldn't find a better opportunity to give you this nice surprise." He said.
Chuuya sighed and then looked up at Dazai as he saw him pull out a small velvet box.
Dazai sighed "Now I wanted to ask you to marry me.... but getting down on one knee seemed a bit silly since you're short." He said teasingly.
Chuuya growled and smacked Dazai in the stomach "You're a fucking asshole. But it doesn't matter... my answer is a big fucking Yes!" He said with a small smirk.
Dazai looked surprised and shocked "Oh! You said Yes!" He said as he took Chuuya's hand and slipped the ruby ring on his finger.
"Of course I said yes.. I love you, you big dumb fucking mackrel." Chuuya said chuckling.
Dazai chuckled also and kissed him passionately as it started to suddenly rain outside. But neither of them cared.
This was a happy night for them and nothing could stop it.
The End.
