Dazai x Male! Reader Pt.2

27. Chapter

14th February, Sunday, 9:46 pm

The rest of the evening passed relatively quickly. (Y/N) and Dazai watched a few more episodes of an anime and then ordered pizza, as they decided to do after all, and talked about normal things. No relationships, feelings, or old stories.

Dazai told a bit about the everyday life of his job and also about his work colleagues, who all had an ability. They did not talk about whether (Y/N) had thought about working in the café near him.

(Y/N) talked about what he does in his life. About his studies and also about Misaki and Kaito. Dazai asked what they were doing now, especially Misaki, whom he had not seen for the longest time.

In between, Dazai also talked about various books he had read, all about suicide. Still his greatest passion as it seems. All suggestions that (Y/N) brought up he explained succinctly why not to do it or said that it did not work.

"Besides, you have to find a house that's on fire before you die. And then the fire brigade might be too quick, with my luck. I don't fancy burns and permanent damage," with a sigh he let his head rest on his hand again, "And my hair wouldn't be there then either. A disaster."

(Y/N) bit off his pizza with a slight chuckle, amused at what thought processes his ex was having. "Well, for wanting to kill yourself, you're pretty picky. Ah, you always were." With a roll of his eyes, he bumped his foot against the chair next to him, Dazai's chair.

"What good is a boring or painful death? You just have no taste."

"You're right. Unlike you, I have no taste. I guess that's why I fell in love with you back then," with a grin, (Y/N) looked at Dazai who was staring at him, "I mean, the bandages back then? That's really no good taste."

After Dazai finished his pizza, he sat back with his arms crossed and justified himself, "That was, one, modern in the mafia back then, you don't know about that, and two, it made me look more threatening. That's important for a mafia member."

"No, it wasn't threatening. You looked like you had escaped from the hospital," (Y/N) stood up and took the pizza boxes away before continuing, "We talked about you like that then too. You were the weird one with the bandages."

"Not kind of you."

"But true." Dazai went to wash his hands as (Y/N) eyes fell on the time. "Ah, lessons will be fun tomorrow if I go to sleep this late tonight."

Dazai took out his phone when he heard his comment. "Ten already. Gotta get up early tomorrow too. Should I go?"

(Y/N) shook his head briefly. "As you like. Makes no difference if I go to sleep later because you're there or because I'm still reading."

Dazai grinned a little when he heard the snippy tone in his voice. "Ah, you can't fall asleep?"

"Maybe..."

"Well, I can stay the night if you want. If you can sleep better."

(Y/N) rolled his eyes before turning to his phone to do something definitely quite important. "After I just got dumped, my ex doesn't have to stay over at my place directly after."

"But what if you have a friend staying over who can help you get back on your feet and also give you a good hug. That makes you sleep better right away." With a slight smile, he propped himself up on the table with both arms.

After a sigh, (Y/N) turned his phone back off and headed for the bathroom. "Do what you want. I don't have any cloths or anything else there for you though."

"No problem, I'll go home for a bit tomorrow before I go to the office."

When the shorter one went into the bedroom, Dazai was already standing in it, looking around. Ignoring him, he changed into his pajamas and sat down in the double bed.

"Unlike your old room back at your parent's, this is really spacious." Dazai sat down next to him and watched as (Y/N) plugged his charger in his phone.

"It's bigger, too. I couldn't have gotten a double bed in there then. Not next to the wardrobe and desk."

With an easy hand movement, he turned off the small lamp beside the bed and lay down under the covers, Dazai likewise.

"Good night."

"Night."

Within a few minutes, (Y/N) fell asleep, happy for the physical touch he did not have to do relinquish.
