[Chuuya pulls his foot back. He's a little impressed at the lack of a reaction from Dazai, but he's not going to admit that.]

You couldn't lift that either.

[neverwashere]

That's what pushcarts are for. [Dazai reached for his coat on the floor and dusted it off.] Not everyone's into manual labor for the sake of it.

[indensity]

Are you into getting your ass kicked because you're weak?

[He'll stand up now. Actually, he really deserves a nice long bath after all this.]

[neverwashere]

Don't be silly. [He smirked and tossed his coat over his shoulder.] I win before the actual fight starts.

[indensity]

[Yeah, he's rolling his eyes at that.]

You're lucky our deal means I have to keep you safe.

[Except it's actually true sometimes. He's seen Dazai do it. He's always been impressed by it, used to love watching Dazai use his other skills. Manipulating the situation, using other types of weaknesses to his advantage.

As long as he doesn't turn that on Chuuya.]

[Dazai reached for the paper bag next to Chuuya and fished out another pastry.]

Should it come down to that.

[And Dazai would dig for information. He bit into the crust.

The both of them conveniently never discussed how similar this arrangement was to their old partnership.]

[indensity]

It always comes down to that in the end.

[That's always been his experience, and another reason why he's always ready for a fight. But for now, they're safe, so:]

Try not to get killed while I take a bath.

[Or kill yourself. Or get hurt in any way. Don't make him rush out of the bath naked to save you, Dazai.]

[neverwashere]

[Dazai waved him off and picked the coffee from the counter with his free hand.]

Not while eating. But ah, maybe the last bite'll be nice to me by the time you get back.
