    Summary

    When Chuuya coughs the first delicate flower petals into his palm, Dazai knows immediately what it is. Overheard some conversations around town about lovers sprouting inexplicable flowers in their chests. Dazai thinks back to his heart-stopping moment of clarity, weeks ago now: Oh, no. I really do love him. His mind races in place, rutted in a quagmire of unknowns. Chuuya fell ill after that night, but Dazai never told him—a blatant departure from all he’s heard whispered about the mechanism of the flowers—so how did it come to this?

    Dots connected, patterns and speculation converging on a chilling conclusion: an Ability. A contagion. A vile thing that's made a vector of him.

    Summary

    Chuuya hesitated, then slowly lowered himself, distributing his weight cautiously, like he was afraid of crushing Dazai by accident.

    The pressure hit all at once. Dazai made a soft, startled sound he couldn’t stop, and his hands curled reflexively into Chuuya’s shirt.

    “Oh,” he breathed, eyes squeezing shut. “Um—that’s—”

    Chuuya tensed immediately. “Too much?”

    “No,” Dazai said quickly, voice trembling. “Please don’t move.”

    There is no memory of being held. There is only the present: a couch, too much quiet, and Chuuya trying, clumsily, not to make things worse. Dazai discovers the absence inside him has edges. Chuuya discovers he can’t ignore it.

    or: touch, for dazai, has always meant violence, restraint, or pain. this is about the other kind—and the hollow it leaves behind once he notices it exists.

    Summary

    After the Dragon's Head Conflict, Chuuya is bogged down by grieving along with questioning his own motives and sense of self. It grows increasingly more difficult to do so when he is locked in a room with Dazai due to a mandatory lock-down. Especially when Dazai begins pushing him to practice their shooting act despite how poorly the last time had gone.

    Summary

    The redhead would deny it if asked, so Dazai simply wouldn’t. And, though the decorations had reappeared as usual on December first, there was something incredibly obvious that the other boy was lacking this year — and in its absence the hatrack was decidedly… spicier.

    It didn’t take a genius to figure out the cause, the punch bag between them was still wheezing with the brunt of it. But who was Dazai if he wasn’t willing to provide that bit of resistance, that angry red leather, in human form?

    The pleasures of partnership.

    “What’s the chibi doing later?”

    OR Dazai takes Chuuya to the Yokohama Christmas market for... reasons, and Chuuya has a mortifying realisation.

    Summary

    Preventing the end of the world had been easy. Well, not truly, it had come at great personal cost and the result of multiple convoluted plans with many moving parts. But he could do that. Returning home however? Wholly different.

    Somehow those familiar doors look horrifically different. Perhaps he's changed too much while he was away? Perhaps they have? Maybe it has been too long?

    (Dazai's a fool. Family never forgets. They never let go. It's okay though, they can teach him.)
