Dazai x Male! Reader Pt.2

26. Chapter

14th February, Sunday, 2:00 pm

As Dazai sat down on the couch, far on the other end from where (Y/N) sat, an awkward silence spread through the room. (Y/N) was starring intently on the screen of his mobile, seeming to sink into it while the brown-haired fixed his gaze on him.

After several minutes he spoke up, being annoyed by the uncomfortable feeling, "What do you want? Stop staring so much." His eyes did not once leave the screen.

"I want you to do something. It bores me to watch you sitting there, looking like you just have a lazy day while, on the inside, you are probably crying right now," Dazai finished his sentence with a deep breath. His fingers were sneaking to (Y/N)'s phone to lower it a bit and giving him the chance to see his face. The gaze which hit him was clean of all emotions.

"I don't want to see you. I do feel like crying but this is probably something that you do not understand. Be silent or leave."

Dazai being Dazai was not impressed by (Y/N)'s words and only rolled his eyes as he made the screen black with the click of a single button. "I am not leaving. But I will be silent if we watch this movie you wanted to watch today. Deal?"

Hesitantly (Y/N) agreed with a short nod and put on the movie, ignoring the fact that his ex was making himself more comfortable. Surely, not leaving until the movie was over.

The movie started showing the title "Howl's Moving Castle" on the TV which was soon again blocked out of (Y/N)'s view as he unlocked his phone.

"Hush, no," Dazai said with a silent voice as he came closer, taking the others phone and putting it on the small coffee table in front of them, "Movie is starting."

Without his phone (Y/N) was now no longer able to distract himself with an overload of unnecessary information. Not paying any attention his eyes unfocused, only listening to the music and voices of the actors.

But, the more time passed the more comfortable got the situation. The two men were sitting close next to each other, almost cuddling, while being fixated at the movie which both of them probably had already watched countless times. And during the last scene (Y/N)'s head was on Dazai's shoulder, who was combing the (H/C) hair with his fingers.

"It still is a great movie," Dazai said in s soft voice, not stopping his hand movement," even after watching it 40 times."

"Mhm, and Howl is still pretty, even more after the 40th time," (Y/N) was too lazy to move, letting the TV turned on with the now black screen in front of them.

"Maybe I should dye my hair black and let it grow out a bit. Don't you think that I would look just like him? expect the eyes.," Dazai let his head slowly fall onto (Y/N) as he spoke.

"Not even close. He still has a better personality than you. Always will."

"Did I just lose to a fictional character? What if I were the fictional character, would I have a chance then?"

"No, your personality still sucks. You always want stuff until you get it and do not respect other people's feelings. Fact."

"Ouch, that hurt," Dazai hissed," But I am charming, definitely more handsome, not a child at heart and do not have some weird complex. Plus, I don't force an old lady to be my housekeeper. I think I would look better in a housekeeper uniform than anybody else."

"Then you can be my servant, I will buy you the uniform," (Y/N) moved his head, making them lock eyes, "But I won't pay you because you are still the reason for both of my break ups."

Dazai was clearly confused at the other's words, "Well...In fact I was the reason for on, we already talked about that, but I am sure that I did not do a single thing for the second one. Could you...elucidate it to me?"

(Y/N) turned his face, staring at the TV again as he spoke, "Well, no, not really. Hiroto only said that he broke up because I got feelings for you. So obviously he got the wrong impression and that's on you."

"On me? I thought you are the one catching feelings."

"No! I am not! That's the whole point," (Y/N) began his rant," I like you, yes, but only as in 'I am no longer angry that you broke up with me the way you did'-like and we kind off get along again, but I most definitely do not have any kind of romantic feelings for you. Understood?"

Dazai slowly nodded as (Y/N) looked at him again, his eyes slowly wandering off.

"What? You think something. I can see that," (Y/N) asked in an annoyed tone, knowing that whatever it is Dazai was thinking, it most certainly was not good.

"No no, I don't think anything," he answered with a smile on his usual expressive face, "Just wondering if you want Pizza for dinner."

"Sure, whatever." He rolled his eyes, sinking deeper in the couch while also leaning more against Dazai.

He did not admit it, but having Dazai to lean on again, physical and mentally, was nice. So maybe, just maybe, what if he was to start catching feelings?

No. Impossible.
