Summary
“You used to be so… thorough with me, you know?” Dazai murmured.
The words were placed close to Fyodor’s ear, breath catching on the first pause. Fyodor could feel the heat of Dazai at his back, the unsteady rise and fall of his chest as he leaned in to speak. Each exhale reached his skin a fraction too warm, then stuttered, pulled back sharp as Dazai fought to keep his voice steady.
“You’d choke me until my vision pulsed. Drag me across the floor. You don’t even get angry anymore.”
The phrasing was clinical in its own way, as if he were listing symptoms, not memories. Fyodor’s mind supplied missing details without his consent: the bruises that had bloomed in finger-shaped pairs, the rasp of Dazai’s voice after, the way he had laughed through it like a creature born without a reflex for self-preservation.
He said nothing.
or: dazai asks to be hurt. fyodor does something crueler.
(in which dazai is desperate enough to ask for cruelty outright, and fyodor is monstrous enough to withhold it.)BSD Dead Dove Week 2026 - Day three - Mutual Obsession /Possessiveness, Pushed beyond breaking point, “Why are you being gentle now?”, Sadism /Masochism
