Three weeks later, Chuuya makes an interesting proposal. "Are you busy on Saturday?"

"Saturday?" Dazai pretends to think about it. "No...I don't think so. Why?"

"Yuan's friends wanna see some new store that opened in the mall, and she wants me to come since I've been so busy lately—but I'm pretty sure I'll just be bored the entire time." Dazai tilts his head to the side.

On one hand—he's already sour at the thought of the cretin. But on the other... "So you want me to go?" Chuuya wants Dazai there.

"If you want, I get it sounds kinda boring—"

"No, I'll go. I didn't have anything better going on anyway."

Dazai cancels his plans to tutor Tanizaki on Saturday (in exchange for concert tickets) immediately. When he meets them at the mall, she's right there, hanging off of Chuuya's arm, as per usual. "Dazai-kun! I aced my test!"

Dazai smiles through clenched teeth. "That's fantastic." He glances around to see a few other first year girls standing around, eyeing him curiously.

"Does he go to Kanagawa?" Chuuya opens his mouth to answer, but Yuan interrupts him.

"No, he's a third year from Keio Senior High—he's been tutoring Chuuya-kun."

"Wow!" One of yuan's friends claps her hands together, "That's so cool! I wish my parents would hire a tutor for me—"

"I'm not paying him," Chuuya gives Yuan a look. "We're friends—and he's helping me out with my practice exams." Yuan frowns, and Dazai is pleased.

"I didn't say you were paying him..." She grumbles, letting go of his arm.

"Yuan?" One of the other girls speaks up. "Shouldn't we get started?"

"Right," she turns to Chuuya, leaning upon on her toes to peck him on the lips, "We'll be in the swim section if you need us!"

The sight of her lips on Chuuya's makes Dazai feel a little sick, but as she's walking away, Dazai notices her glancing back at him. And he swears, on his grandmother's grave, he sees her smirk.

Oh. It's like that.

"Sorry," Chuuya sighs, "she's been off, lately."

"It's fine..." Dazai replies, his eyes narrowing before he looks back at his friend. "It's probably the time of year—with exams coming up."

"Right," Chuuya frowns, a line of stress forming between his eyes at the reminder. Dazai wants to reach over and smooth it out himself.

"Is there anything you want to look for?" Chuuya's question breaks him out of his thoughts.

"Oh—not really..." Dazai looks around. "I've never been super great with clothes."

Chuuya looks surprised. "Really? You always look so—" he pauses, struggling for the right word.

Dazai is hanging on that pause. Handsome? Gorgeous? Breathtaking? Fu—
