they bicker a lot less when there’s no audience. it’s a silence packed of the things they won’t say. dazai always barges inside chuuya’s office to pester him when he’s filling reports at 2 am (dazai’s fault). i think dazai anticipated his destiny and kept chuuya far enough to let him go, but close enough to call him his—even if just as a form of “possessing” him. chuuya doesn’t go home until dazai does. their first time was drunken sex, and theh both pretended to have forgotten some things said during the act, like “stay” and “be mine”. they’re not exclusive but they’re not not exclusive. it’s complicated. chuuya resents his fiery impulse to protect dazai and wonders what it’d be like to run away from the mafia, but no matter how hard he refuses them his feelings for dazai are too deep. dazai is rough during sex so chuuya will relax his head for a little bit. they’ve done it in nearly every office of the port mafia. chuuya goes out when it’s raining and sometimes dazai will sit with him, getting wet and without talking.
