[For all that Dazai has the emotional depth of an average grumpy housecat much of the time, a lot of things depend on his mood - but this, he has decided, is fine. Because he is in a good mood, and, for whatever reason, he's letting himself roll with that. May as well ride those waves all the way, right? Besides, that way he can sorta kinda almost pretend it's his decision to be happy (rather than just showing he's happy), and that it doesn't depend on external factors at all.
(Bet you're going to wish Dazai was still deeply unhappy and suicidal sometimes, Chuuya!!)
It helps that Chuuya is so easily embarrassed, offering a high entertainment value to just rolling with the not-actual-punches. Under different circumstances, the waiter's question might have made Dazai uncomfortable, but now, he's enjoying it. Chuuya may have squirmed away, but Dazai leans in to him a little and smiles at the waiter as if he's posing for a couple's vacation photo, made only by the waiter's eyes.]
However could you tell~? Any recommendations for romantic cocktails?
[Which is a silly question in basically every way possible, but who cares? The quick follow-up buys Dazai some time to hopefully overwhelm Chuuya, and he's quick to order some snacks as well. Clearly Chuuya can't complain when Dazai is doing what Chuuya asked!]
