"Are you sure you don't want me to just come down and ride back with you?"

Chuuya snorts. "I'm one year younger than you, I can ride the train by myself."

"I know that! But what if you get bored?"

"I'll bring a book."

"What if you get motion sick?!"

"You aren't using me to get out of your midterms, Dazai."

He can practically hear his boyfriend pouting over the phone. "I could tell them my grandma died—"

"You are not gonna do that!"

"I'm honestly a little offended you don't want the extra three hours with me!"

"Stop making me sound like the weird one!" Chuuya snaps, "Besides, you should consider yourself lucky Mori is letting me come up for the weekend by myself."

"Why wouldn't he let you?!"

"I dunno," Chuuya hums, shoving his toiletries into his suitcase. "Pretty sure he thinks you're a bad influence."

"Me?!" Dazai huffs, annoyed. "I'm his NEPHEW, he's supposed to love me unconditionally—"

Chuuya is biting back laughter. "He definitely loves you—but you did accidentally use airplay when he and Elise were in the living room, when you were showing me the—"

"You PROMISED you would never speak of that again!" Dazai wails, and Chuuya's stomach hurts from holding back shrieks of laughter.

"I was vague about it, at least!"

"Still!" Dazai whines, "let's not joke about the most traumatic moment of my entire life."

"Including the—?"

"I know what I said, Chuuya."

The redhead snorts fondly, rocking back on his heels. "Anyway, you'll get to see me in a few hours, alright? Now go take your test."

"...Fine," Dazai sighs dramatically. "But I'm rewarding myself afterwards."

Chuuya's stomach does a backflip. "Well," Chuuya clears his throat, double checking his suitcase to make sure he has everything, "that would be reasonable."

"But really, I don't know if I even wanna Chuuya, I'm so tired, and statistics is so stupid—"

"Dazai—"

"When am I ever gonna USE it—"

"You're a finance major, you know." The younger teenager points out dryly,

"Sure, but I'm sure I could get by without it, okay? It's so boring—"

Chuuya clears his throat, forcing his voice into a slightly higher pitch, "Osamu-kun."   The other end of the line goes completely silent."...Dazai, are you—?"
