Work Text:
It was a cold, November evening
The little rain droplets that filled the air made Dazai rush to his apartment faster and faster by the second. He HATED rain, it absolutely destroyed his cheap ass bandages and turned them into white mush thar felt very annoying on his skin. His rapid steps, almost running, made the water from puddles to spring in the air, wetting his long coat and trousers.
He groaned as he finally reached the apartment building, absolutely soaking wet and sadly not in the way he wished he was. He frantically searched for his keys in his pocket and he finally unlocked the door, breathing heavily from walking fast, too fast for his body that was used to slacking off all day.
As the door opened, he was greeted by the warm smile of none other than... chuuya. His grin was welcoming and it seemed like he was happy to see his partner finally home
"Chuu~~"
Dazai tried hugging chuuya but he dodged it and snickered.
"No way in hell you're touching me with those dirty ass rags you have on ya' , go change and we'll talk after that"
Dazai pouted and whined but obeyed Chuuya's orders nonetheless. His brunette waves were dripping from sweat and rain water and he had to take a towel and dry his hair before trying anything else on, otherwise he'd have to go through the struggle of cleaning even more laundry he'd get wet with his hair.
Dazai changed his shirt into a more comfortable one and pants into something less businessy. He had the towel he just used to dry his hair around his neck. He walked out the room with the damp, mushy bandages uncomfortably sitting around his body. Chuuya immediately noticed this when he saw him and, without saying anything, got some fresh ones.
Chuuya saw Dazai sitting on the couch and hugged him from behind, slightly bitting into his neck for a few moments before carefully unwrapping the bandages covering the brunette's neck and he got to work. His skin was filled with old, healed scars that left memories that he could never fully heal from. The ginger boy was very careful with his work, making sure the other one was feeling safe and good the entire time.
"You have some real eagle eyes there, chuu. You've noticed those right away, you bird" Dazai chuckled, slightly blushing from the hands on his neck.
Chuuya scoffed at the sassy remark and continued bandaging. His hands worked meticulously to cover all the scars Dazai wanted to hide from the outside world, while also making sure his work wasn't too tight. He then made his way to Dazai's arms, uncovering them, cleaning them and slowly placing more bandages around it. The brunette just watched as he was taken care of, being extremely grateful to have someone who actually cared enough about him to do something like this without him having to act like a damn dog and beg.
After the ginger was done, the other one hugged him really tightly.
"I hate you so much Chuu I hate you I hate you I hate you" Dazai said, while nuzzling his face into Chuuya's shoulder and gripping his back gently.
"I hate you more mackarel" scoffed the other. "Gosh you're so annoying i might have to snap your head off one day" exclaimed Chuuya, while getting closer to his partner and with no bite behind his words, only playful teasing.
"If I were to die, I'd prefer if it was by my own hand, but thanks for the offer, shortie~"
"Watch your mouth, Egyptian mummy"
"Hey! You should watch your own, pumpkin head!"
And so they continued their playful bickering, all while snuggling closer and closer to each other. Dazai's head was resting on Chuuya's chest and listening to his heartbeat. At this point, he wasn't even listening to what his little chuuya was saying, he just agreed to whatever bullshit he was spewing and played with his hair.
The moment Dazai started playing with his hair, Chuuya tried acting nonchalant but he knew deep down he was very, very chalant.
He tried to hide his reaction, but it was hard to hide the deep, rosey blush that was creeping it's way onto his face. He started massaging Dazai's shoulders, making slow and deliberate movements in circular motion. The taller one melted into his touch, and if he had a tail he'd be definitely wagging it from right to left and vice versa right now. He smiled and bit into Chuuya's shoulder again, playfully.
"Hey, you aint no damn hound dog, keep those dirty teeth off me"
Dazai scoffed and bit him again, a little harder this time. Chuuya smugly grinned and pinned Dazai down on the bed with his hands above his head.
"And who exactly do you think you are now, hmm?"
Dazai pouted
"Hey! This was very uncalled for!"
Chuuya suddenly kissed Dazai's cheek and made him shut up.
"I... uh.. what I meant to say was... uh.. whatever"
Chuuya kissed him again, slightly closer to his mouth. Dazai tried to move and get him to kiss him on his mouth, but his attempts were futile as he was unable to move because his hands were still above his head.
"Meanie..."
"What's wrong 'samu~"
Dazai looked away
"I have the WORST boyfriend in the world who deprives me of affection"
Chuuya just chuckled and let his arms go, throwing himself on the bed right next to him. They looked each other in the eyes and just sat there, admiring each other. Dazai blinked fast with his big, hazel eyes.
Dazai broke the silence
"You know im grateful to have you in my life, right? Like im just... I'm still not over the fact someone as great as you actually loves me. You have some much potential to find someone better, after all we both know who the hot one here is. With your looks, you could kill a lady if you smiled at her long enough. And don't get me started on your amazing personality... im just so baffled someone like you would choose me over anyone else there is in this lonely world we live in."
"Im asking myself the same question more than I would like to admit. You’re the lady killer, not me"
Chuuya smiled
"Plus, I wouldn't even want a lady. You're just perfect for me, just the way you are. Im glad I got the opportunity to meet you, I couldn't imagine my life without my stupid sadistic suicidal maniac boyfriend."
Dazai hugged chuuya and hid his face in his shoulder. After a short while, chuuya felt him get lighter and he suddenly fell off him. Apparently, Dazai fell asleep right there and then, in his boyfriends embrace. "I've got such a beautiful partner" thought chuuya, while closing the light and getting next to him, slowly dozing off to sleep too.
The last thing Chuuya remembered before fully sleeping is Dazai's sleeping face and his soft breaths, as his own breathing calmed down and fully started to sleep
"Goodnight love..."
