Dazai and Chuuya, 59 and 60, May 25th
A cozy cottage stood in the mountains, amidst fields of flowers. Two men sat on the patio and enjoyed a hot cup of tea.
A goat climbed the hill in the far distance, and a sparrow chirped in the tree behind the house. The flowers on the meadow swayed in the mild spring breeze.
“I like this place,” Chuuya mused softly, “I could rest here for a long time.”
Next to him, Dazai hummed in agreement, “A gentle, beautiful rest to a gentle, beautiful life.”
Ever so slowly the sun sank towards the horizon.
Chuuya took another sip of his tea and arched an eyebrow at the empty cup. “I’ll get some more,” he murmured and moved to stand up from the bench.
Grumbling softly, Dazai wrapped his arm around his partner and kept him sitting by his side. “Just have some of mine.”
Chuuya sighed in defeat and accepted his husband’s tea.
“Dazai...” he warned and glowered into yet another empty cup.
“Stay a bit longer,” Dazai murmured and rested his head on Chuuya’s shoulder. “We can have more tomorrow.”
Chuuya sighed softly.
“And the day after that,” Dazai added, “and the day after that and –”
“I get it, I get it,” Chuuya grumbled and placed the cups on the table. He leant his head against Dazai’s and reached for his hand.
They watched the sunset in comfortable silence.
“Tomorrow will be good, too.” Chuuya whispered at last.
“I agree,” Dazai smiled.
