[As soon as the scritches resume, Chuuya settles back down again. It does feel a little embarrassing to admit, though. Dazai might claim that it's fine to say, but it wasn't that long ago when Chuuya wouldn't have been able to bring himself to do it at all. It would have resulted in a standoff, and then they would have stopped what they were doing, and then Dazai would have left. Eventually they would have forgotten about it, and gone back to normal. Then it would have happened again.
Admitting that he wants something like this always felt too vulnerable, though. Chuuya would have initiated sex when he wanted to be close, as a less embarrassing workaround.
He has to admit, though, this is a lot better. He gets the sex. He gets this, too. It's embarrassing, but it's -- it's safe. It's nice. Dazai might be a little more smug for a bit, but it's fine.]
I want you to touch me. I want a lot of things when it's you.
[Admittedly, the alcohol does help. But he can't really fully blame it on that now.]
[Alcohol always helps, but it tends to (certainly at these limited quantities) lower inhibitions, if that - not change someone's entire personality. Admittedly, Dazai might have originally tried it on Chuuya if it actually changed his personality, too, but... they're a little beyond that, now. While there are many ways in which they may not see eye to eye (yes, also because Chuuya is too short to do so!), somehow they fit together, just as they are. And that is certainly something special, especially for people like them.
Dazai probably shouldn't push his luck, but hearing Chuuya be so honest makes him want to reward him, regardless of any potential consequences. At least it's a risk willingly and lovingly taken, not deliberate self-sabotage! He leans in for another low-voiced whisper.]
[He really is behaving too well, isn't he? He's making this too easy for Dazai. He should object to the praise, the way he usually does unless they're already in the middle of sex, but...
He can't deny the way those words get to him. It causes a tingling sensation all the way down his spine, interest and excitement, making him look forward to returning to the hotel room together. And he really is enjoying this too much anyway. Dazai isn't the only one of them who usually self-sabotages in these situations, and he's not the only one who doesn't want to do that right now.]
You better be planning to fuck me until I can't even think straight later.
[Clearly that's the only reason why he's behaving!]
[Mostly when it comes to the opposite of gay, though Dazai would gladly tease at it meaning something far broader. That would be only teasing, however. Thinking might not be Chuuya's particular forte - not to the level that it's Dazai's - but that hardly means that Chuuya is incapable of it.
Well, he doesn't want to (seem to) be too mean, so maybe he'll give Chuuya a quick forehead kiss for a distraction.]
Next thing, you'll be telling me you want to go back to the hotel already.
[Dazai wouldn't mind, honestly. It may not have been the original plan, but Dazai's plans are more of a roadmap than a singular line, anyway.
Maybe he should have brought out the toys already! But then, he does want to keep some options for escalation open to a little later in their vacation.]
[He lifts a hand and waves it in the direction of Dazai's face, like he wants to slap him or maybe cover his mouth to shut him up, except that he can't be bothered to even lift his head and look to make sure he hits his target, or hits anything at all, and he's not putting any strength into it either. He knows Dazai's just making another bad joke. And the kiss does distract him.]
I have to set the bar low so even your lazy ass can achieve it.
[And you know what, why not make that into a challenge for later. That definitely can't backfire, considering Chuuya has already been promised regrets. He shouldn't think about that too much, though, unless he does want to drag Dazai back with him immediately.]
Of course I wanna go back to the hotel. [Obviously he's horny.] Doesn't mean I don't wanna stay here, too. I wanna do stupid tourist things with you.
[Dazai leans back a little to make sure Chuuya doesn't accidentally(???) hit him. He doesn't put a lot of effort into it, though.]
Oh? [He'd say Chuuya should be careful about such claims, but let's face it, neither of them really wants that to happen.] And how low would that be, I wonder?
[It still feels a little strange and new that Chuuya doesn't immediately want to get laid; it's stranger still how much Dazai is just as happy with that as he would have been with the old, safe standby. Smiling to himself, he closes his eyes, relaxing further. (Maybe he's not entirely immune to the alcohol, himself.)]
We are a remarkably stupid pair of stupid tourists, destined to do stupid tourist things.
[When Dazai leans back, Chuuya drops his hand back again, as though his attempt had been thwarted by Dazai dodging masterfully, and there's no point in him even making another attempt. Because clearly it's not just that he wasn't making a serious attempt at all.
He doesn't immediately respond, but that's just because he's still waiting for a short joke.]
As low as I need. At least to my knees.
[Because on his knees does sound like a nice height to be in, relative to Dazai. Or on his back. Or his stomach. Or anywhere Dazai wants him, when it comes to it. But it is nice to not immediately rush things in that direction. Yes, Chuuya is horny, but it's not as though he has to worry about whether or not he'll get laid, while this, relaxing together, allowing themselves to be regular stupid tourists, is a lot more rare.]
I guess we can even buy matching stupid t-shirts, then.
[For once, he'll bring up an earlier "argument" just for the sake of giving Dazai the win.]
To your knees is a good start. [Or a good finish... or both! Dazai isn't picky, he's just mentally enjoying a few varied options, here. ... Not that Dazai should ever be allowed any kind of creative thinking, which is why he continues with:] We should sign you up for a limbo contest!
[Not really, that seems like a hassle. Would be a fun way to show Chuuya off, though! So Dazai will consider it a solid center option. He doesn't care - but also not negatively.]
That's the first good thing you've said all day!
[Nah, Dazai is just lowkey being a dick. But only because he really does love the idea of wearing matching stupid T-shirts! A tourist hotspot like this is bound to have some real gems.]
[Chuuya opens his eyes again to look at Dazai when he makes that suggestion. He really has no idea where some of these ideas come from, or how serious Dazai is about any of them. At least it's nothing actually humiliating, for once.]
You really want an excuse for people to watch as you make me bend over backwards for you, huh?
[He's not sure that's necessarily a bad thing. Though what's the point in bending over backwards if Dazai can't even take advantage of the position?]
If you'd rather bend forwards for me, we could do that instead?
[Maybe not with people watching, though. Not that that would be a bad thing per se, but Dazai is juuuuust possessive enough that it feels less than ideal, under the circumstances. In another day or another place, though... who well and truly knows? Certainly not Dazai.
Speaking of which: how dare you suggest that any of his plans are anything less than absolutely serious??? They're just also unserious at the same time. It's called multitasking!]
Nope! No take-backsies. [Dumb tourist T-shirt superiority!!] You're stuck with me now.
[Shirt-wise, he means. ... Okay, maybe he also means it in other ways. Shhhh!]
[Chuuya pretends to consider that for a moment, but really he's just enjoying thinking about it.]
That works, too. But I know you like to change things up.
[In public or not... He did decide to let Dazai have the power to decide. And he likes both how possessive Dazai is and how much he likes to show Chuuya off. It's two sides of the same coin, really.
But the idea of being stuck with Dazai just makes him smile. He'll cover that up by shifting his weight and leaning up, stealing a kiss instead of actually answering that one with words. Maybe that's a bit too soft, but... it's a vacation, after all. And they are married according to the people here.]
[Well, it looks like Dazai has his job cut out for him this vacation! So much bending, in any which direction... His muscles will be sore, at this rate!
But it's hard to complain about that, even jokingly, when the silly, sappy hat-man, otherwise known as Chuuya, kisses him. It's hard to care enough to think about anything else for now, actually, so Dazai just enjoys the moment. Honestly, even if they're only married according to the people here... isn't that the same as being married "only" according to some overpaid government worker somewhere? It's at least as valuable. Maybe even more so.
Dazai pats Chuuya's ass, just because he can.]
Let's get us some new clothes, then. [He leans in for a whisper.] That way I can get you out of your current ones~
[Because that's how these things go, don't you know?]
