Chapter Text

Chuuya was on his day off today, but instead of enjoying himself he’s currently pacing around in his living room contemplating on whether or not he should text dazai.

Today was Chuuya’s birthday and normally dazai would always send him a happy birthday message in the morning and spend the hole day with him.but today was different,dazai hadn’t spoken a word to him all day!

After a few more minutes of pacing around,he finally decided to text him.Chuuya didn’t want to jump to conclusions,so he decided to test him to see if he forgot or not.

 .                     Mackerel🐟                     .

Slug🐌:

Hey dazai,what day is it today?

Mackerel🐟:

it’s April 29,Monday.why?

Slug🐌:

I just wanted to make sure of something.

Mackerel🐟:

Okay,what was the something ?

Slug🐌:

It’s nothing important,don’t worry.Are you with someone right now ?

-Dazai took a while to respond which made chuuya even more annoyed,after a minute he finally texted back-

Mackerel🐟:

yea,I’m hanging out with kirai right now.

Slug🐌: 

okay,have fun.


Chuuya put his phone down and sighed.he still hadn’t wished him a happy birthday today,but he’s busy right now and chuuya didn’t want to disturb him while him and kirai are…hanging out…

the hours went by and it was now 9pm,and dazai still isn’t home yet.chuuya hadn’t heard a word from him since earlier.

chuuya was on the couch watching TV and trying to get his mind off dazai,until he heard the door open.he glanced over and saw dazai closing the door and walking towards him.

-hey,enjoyed your hangout ?

Dazai hummed in acknowledgment,slipping off his coat and choes,putting them up. He walked towards the couch and plops down next to him.

-what are you watching ?

-A horror movie about a guy on his birthday.and the clown they hired for the party was actually a serial killer.(chuuya was trying to subtly drop hints)

Dazai squinted his eyes at him, getting more suspicious of where he’s going with this.

-...Are you trying to hint at something?

-Hint at what?you’re acting weird.

Dazai let out a sigh.

-if you have something to say,just spit it out.
-well,lucky for you I have nothing to say.

Chuuya curled up into a ball and tucked his chin into his crossed arms.Dazai looked at him feeling a little guilty at seeing him get upset. 

-Are you okay,chibi?

He asked while moving closer towards him.

-Yea!I’m just fantastic.

said that in a sarcastic way,clearly showing his frustration. Dazai narrowed his eyes once again, clearly annoyed with his sarcasm.

-Can you stop this.. He muttered, crossing his arms.

-stop what ?

Dazai sighed while rolling his eyes.

-stop being sarcastic and just tell me what’s wrong.

-figure it out yourself . Chuuya huffed out.

Dazai groaned in frustration a bit.

-Chuuya, just tell me. This is getting annoying..

-Fine!if you want to know so badly,then what day it is today.

Dazai hesitated for a moment, not sure where this is going..

-It's—..It's April 29.. Why?

-Wow..and here I thought you actually cared about me enough to remember it’s my birthday and spend time with me, but I guess I was wrong..

chuuya was clearly sad and frustrated that dazai forgot his birthday.like seriously!he pesters chuuya every year on his birthday,how come this year is different.

Dazai's eyes widen in realization as chuuya started to speak, and they stayed like that until he stopped talking.

He sat there for a few seconds, trying to process what you he said.

-You thought I..

He began, his expression changing to one of guilt and even disappointment in himself..

-Well.did you or did you not remember, tell me… and without lying to my face.

-Dazai stared at him,and with a sigh.. He looked away out of guilt for himself.

-I...I forgot.

He mumbled, still not looking at chuuya..

-That’s what I thought.

Dazai stayed silent, not knowing what to say at this point.He really did feel guilty.

-I’m going to my room.

Dazai continued to say nothing as he looked over at him, and before he went to their room, he grabbed his wrist to stop him.

-What.

chuuya said that while clearly irritated.

Dazai looked up at him,still holding onto his wrist. He hesitated for a few moments, opening his mouth to speak but shutting it, and repeating it a few times until he finally got his words out.

-...I'm sorry.. He finally said

-sorry isn’t going to fix anything.

Dazai sighed quietly, but he knew chuuya was right. He looked away again.

-What can I do to make it up to you..

He muttered.

-figure it out yourself.

*looked back at you, eyes narrowed at your reply.

-That's not very helpful..

He mumbled quietly, standing up with his arm still in his grip.

-Let go of me.

Dazai glanced down at his arm, which he was still holding on to. He hesitantly let go, dropping his hands to his sides.

-Just…leave me alone.

-Dazai stayed silent and just looked at him for a moment. Eventually, he let out a sigh and quietly nodded.

-..Right.

He walked away without another word, and headed straight to the front door.

-Previously-

-Sorry isn’t going to fix anything.

Dazai sighed quietly, but he knew he was right. He looked away again.

"What can I do to make it up to you.." He muttered.

-Figure it out yourself 

Dazai looked back at him,eyes narrowed at his reply.

"That's not very helpful.." He mumbled quietly, standing up with your arm still in his grip.

-let go of me. Chuuya said harshly.

Dazai glanced down at his arm, which he was still holding on to. He hesitantly let go, dropping his hands to his sides.

-Just…leave me alone.

Dazai stayed silent and just looked at you for a moment. Eventually, he let out a sigh and quietly nodded.

-..Right.

-present time-

He walked away without another word, and headed straight to the front door.

As chuuya watched him go towards the front door,he couldn’t help but feel extremely hurt but frustrated at the same,the bitter taste of betrayal right on his tongue.A few small tears escaped his eyes and rolled down his face.

Dazai paused as he put on his shoes and glanced over his shoulder, seeing chuuya start to cry. He felt his heart drop.. But instead of going back over to him,he continued putting on his shoes and slipped out the door, closing it behind him.

Dazai headed out into the streets, hands in the pockets of his trench coat. At first, he had no real destination in mind. After a while of walking, his feet brought him to a nearby park that was empty at this time. He sat down on a bench, looking up at the dark sky.

dazai just sat there silently basking in the night sky.

~

A few hours had passed, and Dazai had not come back yet, which chuuya would've expected at this point.

Eventually, the front door opened and closed quietly. Shortly after, footsteps can be heard heading towards the living room. Dazai walked over to the couch and looked at you, still tear stained cheeks, but now peacefully asleep. He thought for a moment and gently scooped the shorter man up in his hands .

-Chibi..

He called out quietly to him trying to wake him up gently.

-Mhm

chuuya replies in a sleepy voice.

Dazai let out a small sigh of relief when he began to wake up.

-Hey, how about you head to our room, yeah?
He spoke softly, starting to walk down the hallway to their shared room, still holding him softly in his arms.

Yea.. 

chuuya replied while looking anywhere but at dazai.

Dazai sighed again, opening the door to the bedroom and walking in. He set him down on the bed and sat down next to.

-I know you're still mad at me..

-Mhm. Chuuya replied with a neutral expression on his face.

Dazai looked at the floor, not daring to look up at him. He stayed silent for a few moments, before finally speaking up.

-I got you something.

chuuya stayed quiet.dazai almost thought he wouldn’t answer but then chuuya opened his mouth to talk.

-What is it..?

Dazai glanced up at him for a moment, before looking away again and standing up from the bed, walking over to his side of the closet.

-Close your eyes.
He said, still facing away from him.Chuuya closes his eyes reluctantly.

Dazai searched through the contents in his closet for a moment, pulling out a rectangular box and walking back to the ginger . He placed the box on the bed.

-Open your eyes.

Chuuya opens his eyes and was slightly confused when he saw the box.Dazai had sat down next to him again, and he gestured over at the box.

-Open it..

He waited, watching him closely.
Chuuya opens the box  and got surprised of its contents.

It was a bracelet, a very beautiful one, with little diamonds decorating it. Dazai had remembered chuuya saying he liked jewelry such as this.

-Do you like it..?

He asked, voice laced with anxiety from waiting so long. He thought you were going to love it, but considering what's going on, he worried the ginger would throw it back at him or something..

-Yea…I do..

Dazai let out a small sigh in relief, seeing that he was at least a little bit happy..

-Here, give me your arm.

Chuuya gave him his arm and watched as Dazai fumbled with the bracelet a bit, trying to hook it around his arm. Once he got it, and tightened it enough to stay, he pulled back and looked at it on chuuya.

-It looks wonderful.. He softly mumbled.

chuuya stared at it for awhile without saying anything.Dazai watched him for a few long moments, then hesitantly reached over to hold his hand, squeezing it ever so slightly.

-chibi, please say something.. He finally spoke.

Chuuya didn’t respond for a few minutes until he said reluctantly :

-Do you like kirai?

Dazai's eyes widen in surprise at that sudden question, and he hesitated for a moment.

-W-What kind of question is that? I—..

He stammered, now caught off guard.

-Answer me

Dazai sighed quietly and looked away, still holding his hand, but not as tightly as before. He was thinking about it.

-...No.

He said, almost as a whisper,after a few seconds of silence.

-Why did you hesitate then 

-Because..

Dazai hesitated again, closing his eyes and sighing.

-It's a stupid reason.

-Tell me 

Dazai opened his eyes and glanced over at him.

-Promise you wont be mad..

-I won’t promise something I’m not sure of

Dazai sighed again, and reluctantly spoke.

-I hesitated because I really, never thought about it. I never had any reason to.  He said, still avoiding eye contact with chuuya.

-If you like her please tell me..

Dazai quickly looked at him, eyes widening in surprise once more as he said that. He stammered.

-Wha—..No, that's not-- that's not what I mean. I don't like her.

He said it with force in his voice that he didn't even know he was capable of.

Chuuya was slightly surprised at the sudden raise of his voice.

-then why do you keep playing with my feelings.

Dazai felt bad for raising his voice so suddenly, looking down at his hand holding Chuuya’s.

-I'm not doing that..

He mumbled, knowing that's not true.

-That’s a lie and we both know it…

Dazai was silent for a moment, still gazing down at their hands together, conflicted in himself.

-That's..Not my intention..

He spoke quietly.

-Then what IS your intention 

-To hang with a friend.

He mumbled, voice getting even lower, guilt filling him. He really never realized how often he'd ditch him to hangout with her. Even today...

-Alright... I’m going to sleep on the couch tonight..

chuuya mumbled those words quietly.

Dazai quickly jerked his head up, a bit panicked at that.

-Hey, you don't have to.

Dazai moved his hand to grip on to his tighter, looking at him intently.

-I know. Chuuya responded blankly.

Dazai sighed, still holding onto his hand. He moved close to him, not wanting him to go.

-Can you please stay..?

He asked, voice quiet.

-Give me a reason to.

Dazai looked at him,searching his eyes for something to say. He just wanted chuuya to stay.

-Because...I need you.

He finally blurt out. There was desperation in his voice and a hint of vulnerability.

-I needed you here today but you weren’t here,so I’ll say it’s equal..

Dazai visibly flinched, hearing that. Although his eyes never left his beautiful blue eyes, he felt a pang of guilt in his chest.

-I know. And I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have—

He choked up on his words, struggling a little.

-I know.

Dazai sighed again, closing his eyes for a moment.

-Please...Please, just stay..

He almost begged, voice still quiet but pleading with his lover.

Chuuya saw the desperation in his eyes and contemplated his choices,hesitated for awhile before taking.

-Fine… but stay away from me.

Dazai swallowed hard, trying to push away the pain in his heart. He slowly let go of his hand, sitting back a little bit, but still facing chuuya.

-Okay..

He mumbled, looking away again.

Chuuya silently got up to change his clothes to more comfortable night wear and got into the bed.

Dazai watched him silently, hands fiddling with with the hem of his shirt from nervousness. He looked down at his lap, the tense atmosphere feeling heavy in the air.

Chuuya took notice of this.

-What is it?

Dazau looked up for a moment, and hesitantly spoke again.

-I'm—..I'm going to get changed.

he said awkwardly, standing up from the bed. He felt tense, the whole situation feeling really weird. Although it was all because of him, after all..

With that, he quickly made his way to the dresser, grabbing some clothes and going straight to the bathroom to get changed and maybe avoid him.

Chuuya looked at his phone to see that it was 12:34am,he saw a few text from a few of his subordinates and his friends who wished him a happy birthday,he immediately felt a small pain in his heart,he smiled sadly at the messages.

Dazai was in the bathroom for a few minutes, but he emerged soon after with sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt on which is his usual sleeping clothes,and of course he was still wearing his bandages.

He slowly walked back to the bed and got on with shaky movements. He sat there for a few seconds, and finally brought himself to glance over at chuuya..

-What?you clearly want to say something.

Dazai flinched a bit, not expecting him to speak so bluntly. He averted his eyes away immediately.

-No, I.. He muttered, unsure if he should really speak to him right now. He was conflicted, but his mouth still opened.

I..I wanted to say...His voice was quiet, trailing off.Chuuya waited for him to finish talking.

Dazai sighed, closing his eyes for a moment. He was hesitating again.

I.. He struggled, trying to get his words out.

-I want you to know..that I'm really, truly sorry..

He said it in one go, looking over at him. He meant it, and he desperately hoped chuuya would understand that.

-Sorry about what. Chuuya responded bluntly.

Dazai inhaled sharply, trying to calm his anxiety so he could continue speaking.

-For..For everything. For not remembering your birthday..For ditching you...For forgetting our promise..  He said quietly, almost in a shameful manner.

Chuuya just stared at him for a few minutes before sighing.Dazai fidgeted with his hands, looking away from him and feeling even more guilty.

-I-I really didn't think...

He mumbled, feeling so stupid yet guilty.Chuuya cut him off before he could finish speaking.

-I’ll forgive you on one condition 

Dazai looked up at him at the sound of that, waiting for him to say the condition. He really wanted his forgiveness. Chuuya was the only person that he could never bare to lose.

-What is it..?He asks, voice laced with desperation.

-If you ever do something like that again,i want a break from our relationship for awhile,with you with no complaints whatsoever.

Chuuya has thought it through but he would never actually end their relationship,he can’t even bare the thought of it to begin with.But he decided he’d want time to himself if that ever happens again.

-Dazai's eyes widen at that, and he nodded.

-Okay, I-I got it..! He practically yelled from the shock of his condition. 

-I promise I won't..I'll be better than before.

-Alright. Chuuya responded quietly.

Dazai watched him for a moment, and then hesitantly spoke again.

"Can I..Can I come closer..? please.."He asked, voice almost a whisper.

-Yea…

-Dazai quickly scooted a bit closer to him, but still not as close as he used to. He could feel the tension of the conversation, still lingering in the air. He was still fidgeting with his hands, clearly having a lot on his mind.

-Come closer 

Dazai looked at you for a few moments, and scooted a bit more until his knees were almost touching you.

-Is..Is this good?
He asked quietly, still nervous about everything..

Chuuya turned to him abruptly and then hugged him tightly.

-please don’t do that again…

Dazai was a bit surprised by the sudden hug, but quickly hugged back. He was holding onto chuuya tightly, as though afraid if he let go, he’d leave.

-I won't, I promise. He mumbled, resting his head against the ginger’s.
 
The emotional exhaustion had finally caught up to chuuya,tears slowly streamed down his face.

Dazai felt the tears, and he pulled back from the hug, immediately noticing the tears. He looked panicked and quickly searched for his blue eyes, holding his face gently in his hands.

-Chibi, hey.. Don't cry..Please..

He spoke quietly, voice laced with concern.

Dazai used his thumbs to wipe the tears away, still cupping his face in his hands. He looked at chuuya for a moment, before speaking again, voice soft.

-How can I make you feel better..? He asks, looking into his eyes.

-Just…hug me for now…

Dazai nodded a little, carefully moving his hands away from his lover’s cheeks. He hesitated, but then gently pulled him closer to him, hugging chuuya tightly. He rested his chin on the smaller man’s shoulder, sighing quietly.

Chuuya slowly started to stop crying.Dazai continued to hug him and keeping him close. He didn't want to let go of him,not yet. He knew how badly he messed up, and he didn't want chuuya to pull away from him in any way..

Chuuya then spoke up quietly

-I also want a cake..

*’Dazai pulled back from the hug a bit, looking at him . He had an expression of relief when he saw that he stopped crying.

-A cake..? Like, now..? He asks, confusion in his voice.

-Yea..chocolate cake 

Dazai stayed silent for a moment, processing what he said. After a while he just sighed.

-Chibi, it's almost 3am..where would I find a cake at this time?

Chuuya looked sad again and looked away from dazai.Dazai noticed his sudden change in emotion the moment he looked away. He quickly sat up straight, leaning over him.

-Hey, don't do that..

He said with a serious tone, gently placing a hand on his chin and turning his head so that chuuya looked at him again.

Chuuya looked at him with his tear stained eyes for a moment before diverting his gaze again.

Dazai's face fell, his eyebrows furrowing a little as he watched him refuse to look at him. He pulled his hand away, and leaned back a bit.

-..You're really going to ignore me.." He mumbled, feeling even more guilty seeing his blue tear stained eyes.

Dazai sighed quietly, staying silent for a few moments while he just stared at him, trying to get him to look at dazai by will. He eventually gave up and spoke.

-Look at me..please.

He mumbled quietly, the desperation apparent in his voice.

chuuya hesitated but then finally looked at dazai.Dazai looked back at him,eyes scanning his tear stained cheeks and puffy eyes as if memorizing the way he looked in that moment. He looked into his eyes for a few seconds, a mix of guilt and anxious emotions swirling in his. Although, you could still see the desperation in his eyes as he stared at chuuya.

-It-it’s fine I can wait until tomorrow…chuuya finally spoke.

Dazai hesitated, almost wanting to say something. He wanted him to be happy, he hated seeing his beloved upset, especially when he was the reason for it.. but he also didn't want to argue with him. Not after he messed up like that..

-Okay..

Dazai finally responded, still not looking away from his face.
Chuuya laid down and grabbed a pillow and put in between his legs to get comfortable.

Dazai watched him again, eyes looking down to the pillow for a moment before looking back at his face. He felt his heart clench in his chest at the sight of you...After a couple more silent moments, he finally spoke.

-Chibi...Can I ask you something?

-What is it?..

Dazai looked away a bit, fidgeting with his hands again. He hesitantly spoke.

"Are you...going to stay mad at me.." *He asked quietly, the desperation in his voice apparent again. He seemed more like a child asking this, rather than a 22 year old.

-..it depends on what you do.

Dazai took pause for a moment, looking back at him.He wasn't exactly sure what to say to that, but he knew that he had to make up for his actions. He was definitely going to spoil him whenever possible..

-Okay..

He mumbled, still feeling a little anxious from the answer.

Are you going to sleep now..? questioned dazai 

-I don’t feel sleepy but I’ll try to get some sleep.

Dazai hummed in response

Alright..

He murmured, and laid back against the bed. He glanced over at the clock on the nightstand, seeing that it was now almost 4am. He sighed, closing his eyes.

Chuuya shuffled came closer to him and leaned on him slightly.Dazai felt him come lay next to him, and immediately his arm wrapped around him. Holding his lover close to him, he sighed again, opening his eyes this time to look down at him.

Chuuya looks up at him while looking exhausted.Dazai looked at him with a bit of concern, a light crease in his eyebrow as he studied the ginger’s face.

-You look tired..

He stated bluntly, hand running up and down chuuya’s side gently.

-Yea…

Dazai watched him for a few more moments, then turned onto his side to face him properly, keeping an arm around him.

-Are you really not going to sleep..?

He murmured, a mix of exhaustion and worry in his voice.

-I can’t..I don’t feel tired.

Dazai furrowed his eyebrows again in concern. He had a feeling you wouldn't be able to sleep, with todays events, but he wasn't expecting you to say you didn't feel tired.

You don't feel tired at all?he asked, voice quiet.

-Not really..

Dazai sighed, bringing his hand up to gently brush a strand of hair out of your face with his fingers.

-Please try to rest. You may not feel tired right now, but in the morning you'll regret it.. He said softly.

chuuya looked downwards with a look on his face that clearly screamed that he wanted to say something.

Dazai looked at him,noticing the conflicted look on his face. He waited patiently, anticipating him to say something. He kept silent, just watching him.

-C-can you play with my hair to help me fall asleep. Chuuya said quietly.

Dazai listened to his request, looking at him for a moment. He was quiet for a bit, but eventually he moved the hand that was playing with chuuya’s hair a moment ago. He gently placed that hand on the back of the ginger’s head and carded his fingers through his hair, gently raking through to soothe him to sleep.

Chuuya closed his eyes for a moment,just enjoying the feeling of his warm hand cradling through his hair.

Dazai watched his eyes close, a little smile forming on his face as he saw you enjoying it. He continued to run his hand through his beautiful orange hair, gently tracing it with his fingers.

Chuuya started to slowly fall asleep.he whispered a quiet « I love you… »to dazai before finally falling asleep.

Dazai was still running his fingers through his hair gently, lost in the moment. But he snapped out of it when chuuya quietly mumbled those three words. His eyes widening a slight bit, he looked at him. Realizing he fell asleep, he just stayed silent, watching you.

He had a small, soft smile on his face, looking at his sleeping face for a moment. After a few seconds, he muttered something under his breath.

« I love you too. »

Chapter Text

-In the morning-

*slowly opened his eyes, his vision a bit hazy with sleep at first. After a moment of blinking, his vision cleared. He was met with the early morning light from the window, signaling that it was morning.

He was about to start to get up when he felt a weight on him. He glanced down, and saw chuuya , asleep.

Chuuya was still curled up from last night but he seamed to have shifted closer to dazai while he tucked his face into his chest.

Dazai smiled watching the ginger for a moment, but then it fell a bit as guilt crept back up on him. He sighed, looking away for a moment.

for a few minutes dazai just laid there while trying his best not to disturb his lover.

Dazai loved watching chuuya sleep.on multiple mornings he’d wake up before him and he’d just stare for hours appreciating how the other’s ginger hair would be slightly disheveled, how his cheeks had always this flushed appearance,or how his lips were slightly parted. He loved the soft features the other had.And sometimes he’d just hold him in his arms,wide awake,and admiring the moonlight.

He eventually just laid there, his arm still around chuuya,holding him close. He thought about how the day was going to go, he wondered if héd still be a bit mad at him, or if chuuya will completely avoid him.His thoughts were cut short when he felt chuuya’s grip on him tighten a tad bit.

Chuuya slowly opened his eyes and tried to blink away the sleepiness. Dazai snapped out of his thoughts,he looked at him for a moment before finally breaking the silence.

-Morning.
He said a little raspy from just waking up not long ago.

Chuuya always liked the brunette’s morning voice.it gave him a sense of peace when waking up to his voice every morning.

-Morning.. Chuuya answered back quietly.

Dazai smiled, feeling just a bit better hearing his voice. It reassured him that he wouldn't be ignoring him completely today.

-You slept alright?

He asked, keeping his voiced quiet as well.

-a little I guess.

Dazai hummed in response, glancing around the room for a moment. He was never one to be a morning person, and he seemed to still be a bit sleepy still. He was quite comfortable at the moment, being next to chuuya, so staying laying down a little longer could've easily been an option.

After a couple moments of silent, he asked the redhead a random question, without really thinking about the implications.

-You hungry?

-yes,and I want cake. Chuuya responded,voice full of determination to get what he wanted.

Dazai looked back at him after hearing him say that.His answer actually caught him off guard. He let out a sigh, a small smile forming on his face. As much as he didn't want to get up, he knew he couldn't exactly make him a cake just laying in bed.

He reluctantly moved his hand away from him and sat up from the bed, holding the blanket to not let in the cold air.

-I'll go make you one.

-I want a big one ,and I don’t mind if it’s bought..

Chuuya said while getting up slightly and stretching. Dazai slowly got up out of bed, turning to face him. He had a bit of a pout when he mentioned you didn't mind it being bought, but he shoved that aside and just decided to let it slide.

-Alright, I'll go buy it. I'll be back.

-wait.
Chuuya stuttered slightly.

Dazai stayed silent, waiting for him to continue. Hearing the stutter in his voice, it was clear he wanted to say more. 

-Hm?  He hummed, prompting him to continue.

-Can I come with you,I want to choose it.

Dazai stared at him for a few seconds in silence .He seemed a bit hesitant, because after todays events he wasn't sure if his partner would try to run off on him.          

He hesitantly spoke after a few more moments of silence.

-Hm..Sure. But you have to promise to stay by my side.

-okay,I promise.

Dazai was silent for a few more seconds, watching him. He was a bit skeptical to his promise since it seemed a bit sudden, but he decided to trust his lover.

-Alright. Let's go.  
He finally spoke, grabbing a jacket and his wallet from the bedside table.

Chuuya got up and changed as fast as he could.Dazai watched him get changed,he was still contemplating if this is a good idea or not for him to bring chuuya with him.

Once chuuya was ready,they headed out of the house and shutting the door behind them.

The weather was windy and quite cold,the winter season was approaching very quickly.

Chuuya hadn’t dressed well for the cold weather as he was in quite the hurry.he was shivering from the cold and his hands were freezing.

Dazai glanced at chuuya and took quick notice of his shivering state. He sighed and gently pocked Chuuya’s cheek with his finger to get his attention.

-hey. Dazai spoke 

-hm? Chuuya raised an eyebrow at him out of curiosity on what he wanted to say.

Dazai silently took off his jacket, and held it out to him. He still had his hoodie underneath, and it would be enough to keep him somewhat warm.

-C'mon, take it. He mumbled, waiting for him to take it.

Chuuya hesitated for a moment before taking it and putting it on,the shaker was a little bit on chuuya but it was very warm nonetheless,however his hand were still freezing.

Dazai watched his put the jacket on, a small smile on his face. He noticed that his hands were still cold, but he had a solution to that. He slowly took both of the ginger’d hands in his, holding them gently to warm them up.

-Better?  He asked quietly, looking him in the eyes. 

-Yea..

Dazai hummed, holding the shorter male’s hands a little tighter for a second, before letting go. He had a ghost of a smile on his face as he started walking again, starting to lead the way to a nearby bakery.

-Hurry up, you're gonna freeze standing still.

~(time skip to when they get back home)

they both were carrying a few bags filled pastries,and Chuuya’s cake of course, They prepared breakfast in silence and cleaned up once they finished. 

-hey,chibi.

-mhm?

-let’s go out together,today.

chuuya was surprised by the sudden request. Normally dazai would rarely ask to go out together since their relationship was secret, they couldn’t risk their relationship being discovered by someone from the armed detective agency or the port mafia.

-huh?why?

-i just..want to go out today,with you.

Chuuya hesitated for a few minutes before finally responding.

-..alright,when are we going out ?

-right now.

-what.?right now?!

-yes, now get dressed.

chuuua was still stunned but he went to their bedroom to get changed,with dazai close behind.

A few minutes later they were heading out and closing the door behind them.

Dazai still hasn’t told chuuya where they were going,but in the end chuuya decided to trust his partner and follow him to their destination.

To be continued…
