[For a split second, Chuuya looks like Dazai just punched him. No, if Dazai punched him, he'd grin, call him weak, and punch back - at least when he's not drained like he is - while his expression now is just. Open shock. Hurt. An expression that flickers across his face and disappears, before he lets go of Dazai's wrist completely.
And he's back to his usual defensive anger.]
You're right, so stop getting involved and get the hell out of here.
[He pushes Dazai again, and then jerks his thumb towards the door. It's better this way. Chuuya might rest, but either way, he'll recover from Corruption in a few days. He'll pull himself together. He'll forget about all of this.
He won't expect anything from Dazai. And he definitely won't ask him about sex again, either.]
[Oh. That was... honestly not what Dazai meant to do. He doesn't like that look on Chuuya's face, genuine hurt rather than anger he's familiar with, and an uncomfortable feeling of guilt settles in Dazai's stomach. He dislikes it; he's not the sort of person who ought to feel any such thing. He'd long ago left guilt behind, and any time it creeps up on him is a sign that things are not going well.
Then again, they really aren't going well, so.
Dazai pulls his hand back. Whatever was between them before this is gone, and he's not going to seek it out because he knows it's not supposed to be like that. This is how things are supposed to be. It's better this way. If he's lucky, Chuuya will forget about what he'd asked earlier.
Why did he get involved, anyway? He should have left Chuuya out there.]
Good luck. [He turns, shoves his hands deep in his pockets. Honestly, before this Dazai had considered returning home after leaving, but now he figures he might as well just wander a bit more.]
