[He knows where Dazai put his name now, of course. He runs his own finger over that spot on the collar for a moment. Of course it means a lot. Dazai has always been possessive of him, has found his own way of binding Chuuya to him. Neither of them would ever be capable of anything resembling a normal relationship, but it's been seven years, and Dazai - who's not supposed to be able to give a shit - still won't let him go.
It's still weird to think about. Maybe he still struggles to believe it at times - like earlier that day, before Dazai returned. But in the moment all of this just feels right.]
Mmm.
[Yes, he feels better. He leans up on tiptoe, and if Dazai leans down to meet him, he'll kiss him softly for a moment as an answer. But he'll settle for pressing a kiss to his jaw if he can't reach.]
I don't wanna say yes. You'll take it as proof that being lazy is better.
[Dazai does lean down, though only just enough that Chuuya can reach him on tiptoe. He does want to spoil Chuuya a bit, more or less, but at the same time, where's the fun in that? At least making Chuuya tiptoe for the duration of the kiss gives the whole thing an entertaining edge, rather than being something corny, boring, and entirely unsuitable for people* (*actual people-hood not guaranteed) like them.
Enjoying the kiss, Dazai puts his hands on Chuuya's hips to steady him - or unbalance him by ability nullification, as the case may technically be. Maybe a little bit of oth.]
You already said yes! [Sulky sulky, no take-backsies.] Besides, being lazy is better.
[Chuuya's sense of balance is good enough that he won't actually struggle balancing on his toes. He knows why Dazai is doing it, though. He's tempted to nip at his lips for it, but resists for now.]
I guess sometimes.
[Because saying thank you would be too awkward and heavy between them, and he knows Dazai wouldn't like hearing that from him. But he does want him to know Chuuya appreciates all of this. Letting Dazai be right, especially about one of their oldest arguments, will definitely get the point across. He finds he doesn't mind for once if Dazai wins.
[Of course hearing that makes Dazai feel very smug, indeed - but then, he probably would have felt smug, even without Chuuya's emphatic admission. He smirks a bit, but, in gratitude for Chuuya's semi-honesty, he doesn't say anything. Not even: "I told you so."]
Then let's go be lazy.
[Not that he has any specific plans. He needs to get fresh bandages on, of course, and they both probably need to wear something, but after that -... Well, maybe they should just hang around on the couch. It's proven to be a pretty nice spot for just chilling. (As long as they don't play video games.)]
