    Summary

    "Dazai..." Chuuya's voice comes out too tight and small, unlikely to ever reach Dazai. His hand lifts shakily, in some dazed attempt to stop him. There is panic wild and fast in his chest, the beginnings of hyperventilation, his breaths shallow and quick.

     

    Something's wrong, something's wrong—

     

    This hurts too much, it's not supposed to be like this—

     

    His vision is blurring, and his head is taut and aching with the stress and anxiety and so much anguish that he can barely comprehend it.

    The last of Dazai's hazy form disappears, far in the distance.
    _______

     

    Forced into a difficult situation, Dazai has to leave Chuuya behind post-Corruption without his usual thorough check-up. Only, he has no idea just what state Chuuya was in as he was walking away from him that night.

    Grief is a good teacher on how to value those you love. When he gets Chuuya back, Dazai uses his lessons well.

    Summary

    Dazai ends up in a coma after his most serious suicide attempt yet. He has left three letters, one of them being for Chuuya.

    Sitting at the bedside of his comatose body, Chuuya tries to understand.

    ______

    Dazai is falling. In the orange glow of sunrise, the waves of his hair are fanning around him, and his dark eyes are wide with fear and shock, his hand outstretched towards Chuuya. His bandages are unravelling all around him in the wind.

    Chuuya is not even thinking anymore. All he can see is that hand reaching for him as he launches off against the balustrade and falls after him.

    He uses his ability to make himself heavier, his own drop faster, his hand reaching for Dazai right back.

    It's only when he catches Dazai in his arms, holding his head tight against his own shoulder and trying to fly back up that he remembers; this won't work.

    He must have been really out of his mind to have forgotten it at all.

    Summary

    Dazai walks into the ADA to find a desperate and distressed Chuuya looking for him, haunted by Arahabaki and having been unable to sleep for a long time.

    This brings out an old and familiar side of Dazai from their younger years, one that only comes out when he is not being perceived by Chuuya.

    He brings Chuuya to his dorm and takes care of him.

    Summary

    “Okay, so just so we’re on the same page, you met this guy at the café—”

    “Yes.”

    “Eavesdropped on a personal exchange with his sister—”

    “Yup.”

    “Then proceeded to argue with him—”

    “Uh-huh.”

    “Asked him on a date—”

    “Yeah.”

    “And then stole his wallet?”

    “I didn’t steal it,” Dazai defended, arms crossed like a petulant child, “he left it and I took it.”

    Kunikida leveled him with a glare. “That’s stealing, Dazai.”

    Or:

    Dazai is so down bad for a pretty, angry stranger that he resorts to theft— and it works?

    Summary

    "I meant everything I said, you know," Dazai tells him.

    Chuuya glowers and resists the temptation to bite down on the bastard's hand.

    "Shut up," he spits, as best he can with Dazai's fingers propping his mouth open. "I don't wanna hear any bullshit from you."

    Unfortunately, his words come out garbled, and a dribble of spit flies past his lips and lands somewhere amongst the bloodstains on Dazai's jumpsuit. A smile quirks at the man's lips, too fond looking for Chuuya's liking, and he growls in warning, irritated.
    -
    Chuuya and Dazai have a discussion about their relationship on the helicopter back from Meursault.
