“This is why you made me drive three hours out into the middle of nowhere?”
Dazai pouted at Chuuya's words as he laid the blanket out. Once he finished he turned to face his red head boyfriend, crossing his arms. "Stargazing is fun!" Dazai declared, smirking. "Besides, it's actually really pretty. Give it a chance."
Chuuya sighed but nodding, laying down on the blanket and staring up into the sky. Dazai laid next to him, looking up as well. Inky blackness stretched over them covered in tiny little bright spots, which were stars, shining so far up away. Burning their lives away. "Never thought something so beautiful could exist in nature…” Dazai admitted, smiling. Chuuya only rolled his eyes though, sighing slightly.
Stargazing to Chuuya was rather pointless. Yay, let's stare at little dots in the sky for a few hours and try to look for falling ones. Aka dead ones. Then let's wish on them and hope it comes true. But it won't. Because the star you just wished on is dead. Like your dreams. Fun, right? “Wouldn’t it be cool to name a star after yourself?” Dazai questioned, interrupting Chuuya's thought.
"Not really," Chuuya replied after a moment. "They're just tiny little pricks of light from down here, what's the point of naming them? They aren't alive..."
Dazai sighed softly, wishing that Chuuya wasn't so negative all the time. Here he was, trying to be a sweet and loving boyfriend, finding the perfect star watching spot (who cared if it was three hours away from home?), and making up interesting conversation starters. And there was Chuuya, fighting and ignoring each and everyone. "Isn't there anything here that you aren't going to insult?"
“I wouldn’t mind falling asleep out here."
"Well... that's better then nothing I guess?" Dazai sighed again, looking back up. How to make Chuuya cheer up.. Suddenly something caught Dazai's eye and he perked up, excited. "“Is that a– Wait, no, just an airplane...." Dazai trailed off, disappointed, when Chuuya's laugh filled the air making Dazai perk up. Yes! Perfect. The second Chuuya noticed Dazai grinning like an idiot though, he stopped laughing to Dazai's disappointment. So Dazai decided to try the flirting way. "These stars are nothing compared to the ones I’ve seen in your eyes.”
It... didn't work. Chuuya only laughed at him again, but at least he seemed happier? As if he was having fun. Chuuya looked up at the sky again, smiling ever so slightly. "Shooting star, make a wish," he suddenly said.
Dazai quickly looked up, feeling excited, only for his hopes to vanish and be replaced my amusement. “It’s actually a comet, but I’ll still make one.” I wish I could be with Chuuya forever.
"At least I didn't mistake a plane for a star!" Chuuya sounded grumpy now, like he was defending himself, and for a moment Dazai worried that he had ruined the good mood but glancing over revealed that Chuuya was still smiling. Good.
"Aren't they beautiful?" Dazai asked, hesitantly. This time Chuuya nodded, admitting it, and Dazai smiled. “Imagine if it could always be this way, even in the city.”
Their conversation continued on as hours passed, and in the end, they did end up falling asleep out there, cuddled together for warmth.
