[Probably not the smartest thing to say, but Dazai's (formerly??) bad mood has affected him, too. And turning Dazai off something with the threat of clean up is kinda funny.
And he does end up leaning a bit closer after a second, if only so he can read the list as well. He doesn't trust Dazai not to skip over anything, and besides, Chuuya doesn't remember all the examples given off the top of his head. Bondage isn't that interesting, though... Or well, it is, but they've done it, and they'll keep doing it, so it's more about finding new ways to do it.]
We've done advanced stuff... But we're not doing tape, I don't trust you not to just rip it off after. [Not that pain is a bad thing, but still.] Besides, there's no point if it doesn't look good, right?
[If he doesn't look good for Dazai, he means. He knows Dazai doesn't care, and it can be more humiliating when Dazai gets creative in non-pretty ways, but he doesn't have to admit that.]
[Which is hardly an idle threat - and yet Dazai hadn't seriously considered making that happen. Even though he clearly should have. That's gross in its own right! What, does he actually respect Chuuya as a person now?!?!]
We could definitely make tape look good.
[Not that he's especially into the idea of using tape, but he's hardly going to refrain on account of it being painful, especially when Chuuya likes pain as often as not.]
Admittedly it wouldn't look as good as using my bandages though.
[It's definitely not a threat to take lightly. Chuuya stares at him for a second.]
Let's just avoid anything with too much cleanup.
[Because he can't make Dazai do it if Dazai doesn't want to, and it's definitely not worth the risk of teasing Dazai about it. He turns his attention back to the list.]
Maybe you could, but --
[He has no way to follow that up. Why does he bother lying to Dazai about what he wants, it really only encourages him, and... Okay, yeah, it would be hot. Dazai restraining him is always hot. Especially since he can actually prevent Chuuya from being able to escape. And he probably shouldn't think about that too much right now, or he'll end up distracted.]
Yeah, okay, I don't actually object. Much. You can do all of these.
You're not objecting "much" or you're not objecting at all?
[Chuuya getting embarrassed may not have been the goal, here, but it's making Dazai feel a little better, and that alone makes it worth it.]
You really should be clear about what things you'd like best, you know. Who knows if we'll ever have this kind of talk again?
[They probably should make it a regular thing, but Dazai already went into it feeling like it's a chore, and he's not especially looking forward to having a repeat in the foreseeable future. May as well put the pressure on Chuuya, and see what comes out. (... Apart from the obvious.)]
[Of course Dazai won't let him get away with a half-lie either. Chuuya shoots him an annoyed look, dragging it out before he answers.]
You already know I'm not objecting at all. We didn't even get to anything you don't know about yet!
[Maybe he shouldn't be so easily affected by pressure from Dazai, maybe he should be used to it by now... but then he could argue that this isn't something they've done before, so it doesn't count. Or something. He reaches over to try to snatch the list back from Dazai to give himself some semblance of control over the situation.]
But if I have to suggest something, we could try some more complicated stuff. Like suspension. I don't even know what that would feel like.
[Dazai gives up the list easily, feeling much better at the idea of Chuuya giving him a wish list of sorts: that way Dazai can still decide what goes, but he doesn't have to go through the effort of thinking of suggestions, himself. He'd much rather get creative with what Chuuya suggests, anyway!
And Chuuya, as expected, doesn't disappoint when it comes to horny things.]
You wouldn't, would you? [Which is more Dazai thinking out loud than Dazai being a condescending dick, for once.] Even if I stopped touching you for a moment, you wouldn't know what it truly feels like.
[Chuuya wasn't expecting to get the list that easily, so for a second he doesn't even know how to react. He sits there with his papers in his hand, mouth slightly open, the mental version of having your opponent suddenly let go of the rope during tug-o-war. Then he relaxes, shoulders dropping slightly, because he hadn't wanted a fight, but maybe he'd thought Dazai did.
He finally scoots closer on the couch, holding the list so they can both easily see.]
Yeah. I mean, I thought suspension was just about putting someone on display, or maybe getting them in a more convenient position to use their body, easy access or something, but I guess it's supposed to feel different than if you're just tied on the ground? A physical feeling? I tried to read a bit about it, and someone described it as a tingling feeling in their whole body, especially in their stomach. And I can only ever feel that way with you.
[And only because he nullifies Chuuya's ability. Obviously.]
[Uh... Uhhhh, Chuuya? That's gay! That's very, very gay!! Dazai just stares over at Chuuya for a moment, because admittedly he's flattered, and a little happy, but of course that makes him a little suspicious.
It seems like Chuuya is just being his dumb, obvious self, though. Dazai smiles a little, shaking his head, and decides not to rub it in. (Yet.)]
Well, the convenient position is worth something too. Though it seems like a lot of work getting the weight distribution just right...
[For once, it's not a complaint, just a statement.]
[It takes a second for Chuuya to realize that Dazai is staring. He looks back, a little confused, not sure what he said that might have caused that reaction. But Dazai has gone from being in an obvious bad mood to smiling at him, an Dazai's smile has a way of making his pulse jump. It's a relief. He's not going to worry about it.]
At least lifting me into the air would be easy.
[Because he could just use his ability on himself while Dazai pulled on the ropes, and then Dazai could go back to touching him once he was secure.]
There's no way you don't already know how to tie someone up like that, but apparently it's even possible to take courses--
[And then he realizes what exactly it was he'd said earlier, and why Dazai stared at him for it. He'd only meant because Dazai takes away his control of gravity. But that's not what he'd ended up saying. Chuuya feels his cheeks heating up, his first instinct to defend himself, deny everything, at least clarify. Except that he can't really defend himself when Dazai didn't even make fun of him at all.]
-- Anyway. [He's lost his train of thought, staring down at the list and refusing to even glance at Dazai.] What else is there from this section... Can't really do resistance play, you'd never be able to win. And there's a couple of things I definitely shouldn't let you do, since you're a bastard.
[Dazai definitely doesn't need lessons in tying people up, though he considers the possibility of taking some anyway, just so he can humiliate Chuuya in public. But that would probably just get them thrown out of class, and the fact that it's a class at all kind of makes Dazai not want to do it in the first place. Oh, well. He'll keep it in mind.
And there comes Chuuya's realization at last. Dazai doesn't even care if Chuuya meant his words the way Dazai chose to interpret them: what was said, was said. And Dazai is glad about it - a rare bit of actual happiness! - so good luck getting him to believe otherwise now.]
Should you really be calling me a bastard when I'm the only person who can make you feel that way?
[He's just going to lord that over Chuuya forever, with various degrees of semi-deliberate misinterpretation whenever he feels like it. You made a mistake, Chuuya...]
[Chuuya slaps a hand over Dazai's mouth before he can even finish the sentence.]
Shut up. [Maybe he should use his ability to sink into the couch and disappear through the floor.] You're the only person who can annoy me this much!
[The problem is that Dazai's interpretation isn't not true, even if it's not what Chuuya had meant. But he can't just admit something like that! He'd never live it down! He's already never living it down!]
I shouldn't let you do any of this. We're skipping past bondage.
[Except the next section isn't any better. Chuuya stares at the title - mental control - and doesn't even say anything else. This is the part that's going to be revealing.]
[Dazai makes a show of looking offended at being so rudely shut-up, but he doesn't actually object, nor does he even pretend to outside of a brief, pouty frown. He'll take that compliment - yes, being able to annoy Chuuya the most is clearly a compliment! - and keep it close to his non-existent heart.]
Very well.
[Skipping past bondage, it is. They've discussed what they needed to, anyway: there's already some new ideas to try. So it's fine.
The next section, though... Dazai looks somewhere between displeased and doubtful.]
... Chuuya is never going to be capable of this.
[Dazai isn't even saying that in an elaborate attempt at reverse psychology or anything like that. He just genuinely doesn't think that Chuuya has it in him to do things like follow orders. Sure, Dazai can push Chuuya a bit once he's had an orgasm or two, but beyond that? It's got to be impossible.]
[Chuuya isn't sure whether that displeased look is just because Dazai figures it's impossible, or because he's really not interested. There's no point in talking about it if Dazai isn't interested, and Chuuya isn't good at talking about these things to begin with. He rubs at the back of his neck, not really aware of it himself.]
You wouldn't want me to always just obey anyway.
[That's often the game between them, isn't it? Chuuya makes it difficult, and Dazai finds a way to get what he wants anyway, and then gets to be smug about it. Then again, they've never actually talked about it at all.
And it's really tempting to just get himself drunk for this conversation.]
But -- if we're gonna talk about this anyway. If we're doing this. I should have said this before we even started. Whatever. But I know there's a lot of things we can't really do if I'm not cooperating at least a little. And it's kind of unfair if you always have to win some bet or find a way to trick me just to set it all up. Not that you play fair either, but --
What I'm saying is that if there's something you wanna try, I don't have to fight you. There's no point in even looking at this list if I'm just gonna fight you. I already knew that when I printed this out.
[He says that, but his tone makes it sound like he's in the middle of a fight right now. But this time, it's only against himself, really - because he does mean what he's saying. He's willing to try.]
[Chuuya makes an excellent point for once, and Dazai doesn't try to argue. It is a strange little balance they have going on here... Dazai gets off on getting his way, but it's certainly true that it would be boring if Chuuya just did as he ordered. He supposes that makes this whole kink thing a lot more complicated than it's "normally" likely to be.
Dazai holds back a sigh. Truly, needing to define anything too much takes all the fun out of it, doesn't it? He's still willing to have this talk, though: he does understand the necessity.
... Wait... All this talk about Chuuya not fighting him... Does that mean Chuuya is giving him a free pass? ... Dazai shouldn't. He really shouldn't ask this, even jokingly, but...]
... Does that mean that you'll finally wear a maid costume if I ask?
[He doesn't even really care about maid costumes! It's just the principle of the thing!! Or whatever passes for a principle with Dazai.]
[Chuuya had managed to put himself a little on edge, admitting as much as he did. He's ready to defend himself, just in case, expecting... something.
Not a complete derailment. He's mentally sputtering for a moment.]
You --
[No, Chuuya did say he'd go along with Dazai's plan a little more easily. He'd meant it. He shouldn't immediately object, no matter how much he wants to. And of course Dazai would immediately try to test him on it, to see if he really means it, even though Chuuya didn't specifically say he'd go along with anything Dazai suggested, so that still technically leaves him a lot of wiggle room.
It's not like he has any serious objections to it, it's just that Dazai has been trying to get him to wear that damn costume since they were sixteen, and he really doesn't want to let him claim that victory now.]
If you ask? [He'll just throw Dazai's words right back at him.] I'll say no.
[Dazai smirks. That's a pretty nice reaction, after all.]
Then, if I order you to?
[He's only halfway serious, to be fair: he absolutely wants to get Chuuya into a maid costume at some point, but he's played the long game with some other things, and he can be patient here, too. He'd definitely want to save it for a special occasion, regardless.
Didn't you just say I'll never be capable of taking orders?
[It's his turn to use Dazai's words against him. Payback for catching him off guard with his maid outfit kink, and for that too damn smug expression of his. It's not a no, though - he might as well have agreed, unfortunately. But it had been inevitable anyway.
At least that's what he'll tell himself.]
Figures that's your kink after all. Or at least the thing below it. But I guess it's impossible.
[Nah, it's fine that Chuuya can't take orders from Dazai to figuratively save his life, really. He knows when to do it when his life literally depends on it, and that is enough. The rest, they seem to have sorted out over the years. But life's no fun if you can't push your luck every now and then, is it?]
We'll save it for a special occasion, then. [It's going to happen! At some point!! Before he dies!!!
What else do they have to get through... Ah.]
Lifestyle rules is not an option, I presume?
[That's not a complaint, really. They both lead complicated lives that can't deal with too many restrictions, especially Chuuya.]
[Not when it comes to getting his way. Dazai never gives up on getting his way. And maybe Chuuya shouldn't call him out on giving up on getting what he actually wants... or maybe he's projecting. But Dazai shouldn't give up on something before they've even started to talk about it at all.
He manages (mostly, debatably) to keep his voice dismissive as he says it, at least. A small shield in case Dazai turns it back on him. And he won't complain about moving on down the list.]
[Dazai technically wasn't giving up, since he doesn't care that much about the whole idea - just for the record!! But he'll drop that discussion in favor of taking advantage of the opening offered.
Well, if they're doing this, Dazai is at least going to be reasonable about it. He may be the most unreasonable man alive, but he's still not looking to get Chuuya killed, or even in trouble with Mori. (Dazai will poke that badger himself when he feels like it, it's fine.)]
Underwear or lack thereof?
[Starting simple, because Chuuya isn't averse to lingerie as it is.]
Maybe writing on your body? Under your clothes, of course.
["DAZAI WAS HERE LOL" across his ass~! ... Okay, not really that, but. Even Dazai putting his name somewhere innocent would be fun. Or making Chuuya write things himself, if it comes to that!]
Maybe not playing with yourself for a while, too.
[Chuuya is perfectly capable of that, Dazai is sure. But it's different when you're not allowed, and you're thinking about how you're not allowed, isn't it?]
[Chuuya isn't surprised that Dazai has so many ideas right off the bat, because ideas are what the bastard is good at. He's really not sure how to react, though. He stares at Dazai for a second, shifting a little on the couch, because he's thinking about the idea of not being allowed right now and it's getting to him. Not to mention the idea of being marked by Dazai, or letting him control even the hidden parts of Chuuya's appearance. It would be a constant reminder throughout the day that it's Dazai he belongs to.
That would have Dazai thinking about him, too, wouldn't it? If he knew Chuuya was walking around like that for him?]
So anything that's not visible?
[That covers a lot more than just underwear or body writing, but for once Chuuya doesn't mind giving Dazai more to work with. It might backfire. It will definitely backfire. But there's no way to avoid that if they're doing this - that's sort of the point.]
Surprised you didn't suggest controlling my orgasms completely. [When he can't have one, and when he will have one, because Dazai definitely likes making him come when he doesn't want to as well.] It's rules, right? So I'm not just agreeing to a one time thing?
[Control Chuuya's orgasms, that is. Technically he doesn't, sure, but in practice? He'd wager good money that Chuuya thinks about him when he's masturbating, too. (Clearly that is also control, in a way!)
But it's fine, it's fine, they don't have to get all nitpicky about definitions. They both know what they know.]
Maybe later, then. [Full orgasm control. It seems more entertaining for brief periods of time than for a rule that applies always and everywhere. That makes the whole thing seem too much like a job!]
But yes: anything that's not visible, and not practically restrictive in any meaningful way.
[That's a no to real physical restrictions - barring anything used for orgasm control, maybe - but a yes to bondage under clothing that's mostly aesthetic. That's not going to hamper Chuuya's workaholic self too much, surely?]
[He definitely kind of does, but Dazai having a point doesn't mean Chuuya has to acknowledge it. Even if it doesn't even matter by now, if he's outright giving Dazai that power over him anyway.
And he does know Dazai wouldn't want to control it all the time. It has less of an impact, then, which would make it less fun for him. For both of them, maybe. The last thing Chuuya wants is for Dazai to think of any of this as some sort of chore. It takes away from what it should be - even if he has no fucking clue what exactly that is, and would still prefer not to try to figure that out. It's just them.]
Yeah. When you feel like it.
[He really shouldn't give Dazai this kind of power, but they both know he already has.]
That gives you a lot to work with. I'm going to regret this.
[They do both know it, and yet that somehow, quite miraculously, doesn't make the whole idea boring to Dazai. It's funny how his definitely-not-but-actually-indeed-a-relationship with Chuuya has always been that way. Other exceptions over his entire, miserable lifespan can be counted on one hand, and they've certainly never lasted this long. But it's probably better to just take that as a fact, and not think too much on it.]
You absolutely are.
[Very cheerfully, which is honestly warranted. Dazai is going to have a great time just thinking of all his options, here!]
This calls for a celebration!
[They should probably get to the rest of that kink list, but ehhhh, Dazai has scored a big win; he'd just as soon skip the rest.]
[That cheerful tone should probably worry Chuuya. Instead he finds himself wanting to return the smile, ducking his head a little to hide his expression. He's weirdly pleased that Dazai is so pleased. Inevitable regret or not, Chuuya knows what he's getting himself into, which means he wanted to give him this.]
What kind of celebration?
[Chuuya still has things on that list he's curious about, for one reason or another. But the section about rules, about their dynamic outside of actual scenes, was definitely the most important one. They've somehow managed without ever outright talking about their kinks up until now, so it's probably fine. He won't insist if Dazai is ready to move on.
Besides, they can pick it up again another day, maybe.]
Not like you can really test out your new powers yet.
no subject
[Probably not the smartest thing to say, but Dazai's (formerly??) bad mood has affected him, too. And turning Dazai off something with the threat of clean up is kinda funny.
And he does end up leaning a bit closer after a second, if only so he can read the list as well. He doesn't trust Dazai not to skip over anything, and besides, Chuuya doesn't remember all the examples given off the top of his head. Bondage isn't that interesting, though...

We'll save it for a special occasion, then. [It's going to happen! At some point!! Before he dies!!!
What else do they have to get through... Ah.]
Lifestyle rules is not an option, I presume?
[That's not a complaint, really. They both lead complicated lives that can't deal with too many restrictions, especially Chuuya.]
no subject
[Not when it comes to getting his way. Dazai never gives up on getting his way. And maybe Chuuya shouldn't call him out on giving up on getting what he actually wants... or maybe he's projecting. But Dazai shouldn't give up on something before they've even started to talk about it at all.
He manages (mostly, debatably) to keep his voice dismissive as he says it, at least. A small shield in case Dazai turns it back on him. And he won't complain about moving on down the list.]
What kind of rules?
no subject
Well, if they're doing this, Dazai is at least going to be reasonable about it. He may be the most unreasonable man alive, but he's still not looking to get Chuuya killed, or even in trouble with Mori. (Dazai will poke that badger himself when he feels like it, it's fine.)]
Underwear or lack thereof?
[Starting simple, because Chuuya isn't averse to lingerie as it is.]
Maybe writing on your body? Under your clothes, of course.
["DAZAI WAS HERE LOL" across his ass~! ... Okay, not really that, but. Even Dazai putting his name somewhere innocent would be fun. Or making Chuuya write things himself, if it comes to that!]
Maybe not playing with yourself for a while, too.
[Chuuya is perfectly capable of that, Dazai is sure. But it's different when you're not allowed, and you're thinking about how you're not allowed, isn't it?]
no subject
That would have Dazai thinking about him, too, wouldn't it? If he knew Chuuya was walking around like that for him?]
So anything that's not visible?
[That covers a lot more than just underwear or body writing, but for once Chuuya doesn't mind giving Dazai more to work with. It might backfire. It will definitely backfire. But there's no way to avoid that if they're doing this - that's sort of the point.]
Surprised you didn't suggest controlling my orgasms completely. [When he can't have one, and when he will have one, because Dazai definitely likes making him come when he doesn't want to as well.] It's rules, right? So I'm not just agreeing to a one time thing?
no subject
[Control Chuuya's orgasms, that is. Technically he doesn't, sure, but in practice? He'd wager good money that Chuuya thinks about him when he's masturbating, too. (Clearly that is also control, in a way!)
But it's fine, it's fine, they don't have to get all nitpicky about definitions. They both know what they know.]
Maybe later, then. [Full orgasm control. It seems more entertaining for brief periods of time than for a rule that applies always and everywhere. That makes the whole thing seem too much like a job!]
But yes: anything that's not visible, and not practically restrictive in any meaningful way.
[That's a no to real physical restrictions - barring anything used for orgasm control, maybe - but a yes to bondage under clothing that's mostly aesthetic. That's not going to hamper Chuuya's workaholic self too much, surely?]
no subject
[He definitely kind of does, but Dazai having a point doesn't mean Chuuya has to acknowledge it. Even if it doesn't even matter by now, if he's outright giving Dazai that power over him anyway.
And he does know Dazai wouldn't want to control it all the time. It has less of an impact, then, which would make it less fun for him. For both of them, maybe. The last thing Chuuya wants is for Dazai to think of any of this as some sort of chore. It takes away from what it should be - even if he has no fucking clue what exactly that is, and would still prefer not to try to figure that out. It's just them.]
Yeah. When you feel like it.
[He really shouldn't give Dazai this kind of power, but they both know he already has.]
That gives you a lot to work with. I'm going to regret this.
no subject
You absolutely are.
[Very cheerfully, which is honestly warranted. Dazai is going to have a great time just thinking of all his options, here!]
This calls for a celebration!
[They should probably get to the rest of that kink list, but ehhhh, Dazai has scored a big win; he'd just as soon skip the rest.]
no subject
What kind of celebration?
[Chuuya still has things on that list he's curious about, for one reason or another. But the section about rules, about their dynamic outside of actual scenes, was definitely the most important one. They've somehow managed without ever outright talking about their kinks up until now, so it's probably fine. He won't insist if Dazai is ready to move on.
Besides, they can pick it up again another day, maybe.]
Not like you can really test out your new powers yet.
