The next morning Chuuya woke up as he cutely yawned. He looked over to see that Dazai had his arm around him, sound asleep. He blushed and tried to move Dazai's arm off, but kept failing. That's when he realized Dazai was purposely refusing to let go.

"Dazai, let me go!" Chuuya said, annoyed. "We have school today! Wake the hell up!"

Dazai whined, still not letting go. "Can't we just sleep in? I wanna cuddle Chuuya longer..."

Chuuya shyly looked away. "If you wanna sleep, then fine, but at least let me go! I need to get to class!"

It seemed like those few words immediately fully woke Dazai up. He quickly got up from the bed, not wanting to be away from the ginger. "Fine, fine, I'll get ready. Just wait for me."

Chuuya slowly nodded, surprised that he actually got the brunette to wake up. He didn't think that would work.

His eyes widened when he realized Dazai didn't have a shirt on. His bandages were the only thing in display.

"Wait, why the hell are you shirtless?!" Chuuya asked, blushing and looking away as if it was just wrong to look at Dazai's bare body. "P-Put a shirt on!"

Dazai laughed at how shy the ginger was getting, finding his reaction cute. "Chibi, I've been shirtless since last night. I thought you already knew that."

Now, Chuuya turned even more flustered. He couldn't believe he was cuddling with a half-naked Dazai. "G-Gross! Wear a shirt next time!"

Next time? Dazai tiredly smiled at him, using all his energy for the ginger boy. He walked into his bathroom to get ready while the other went into his own bathroom.

After awhile, the two finally finished getting ready and came out of the bathroom at the same time. They stared at each other, surprised. Chuuya quickly looked away, flustered.

Has he always looked that attractive...? Chuuya embarrassedly thought.

Holy shit, no way. We came out at the same time. We're fucking meant to be. Dazai proudly thought.

They both shook their thoughts off, silently walking out of their dorm together. Not too many people were in the hallway right now, so it was just them two in the halls.

"Hey, chibi, what did you do to get sent here anyway?" Dazai turned to look at the younger. "Someone like you doesn't really look like they can do much, y'know."

After all, Portland High was the most strict boarding school in Yokohama. It costed a fortune to let alone attend there, but to get sent there? You must have done a very rebellious act.

Hearing this, Chuuya uncomfortably moved closer to Dazai. He didn't like talking about it, but with Dazai, he for some reason felt a strange feeling of comfort. A feeling of trust.

"If I tell you, do you promise not to tell anyone...?" Chuuya muttered.

Dazai looked at him in surprise, but he didn't refuse to those terms. As annoying as he was, he wasn't the type to go out telling people someone's secrets. Especially not the secrets of someone who he cared about.

"I won't tell anyone, I promise," Dazai promised, bringing his pinky out to the ginger.

Chuuya looked at him confused. "Why are you showing me your pinky?" he asked, not understanding.

"To make a pinky promise," Dazai grinned. "so you can put your trust into me."

"What the actual hell is a pinky promise?" Chuuya asked, not familiar at all with the term. He never heard it in his life.
