"AND IM NEVER GONNA DANCE AGAIN, GUILTY FEEL IVE GOT NO RHYTHM"

Not what Dazai expected.

He expected teenagers and drunkness but he didn't expect them to stand on the table and couch while shouting a song that came out before their parents were even together

"Dazai!" Chuuya shouted, running to him and giving him a hug "you came" Dazai smiled and hugged Chuuya with one hand, the other carrying three bags.

"What's all this?" Chuuya asked, looking at the bags "alcohol, some cigarettes snacks and well.. your present" Dazai smiled

"He got him a presenttttt" Leah yelled "ignore her the vodka drowned her brain." Chuuya rolled his eyes "do you want to open your present?" Chuuya nodded quickly "I love presents" dazai smiled and pulled the box out of the bag

"What is it?" A pink haired girl asked Chuuya mumbled he has no idea and opened the box

"SHUT UP!!" Chuuya screamed "what is it?" A grey haired boy said Chuuya screamed and put the box down on the floor, taking out the black boot

"I wanted these for so long!" Dazai smiled "I know" Chuuya looked at the size "it's even in my size!" "I guessed"
"Thank you so much" Chuuya hugged Dazai and Dazai smiled "I'm happy you like it"

"Well put those bags down and come join us!" Leah yelled "we gotta do a shot match" Dazai smiled "alright then let's go. I'll just put the bags in your room?" Chuuya nodded

"And you're all over 18" "yes we are!" Leah yelled "wanna play cheat?" Chuuya suggested. Dazai's good at detecting lies he'll totally win

"Cheat" Dazai said "then flip" Yuan responded. Dazai flipped the card- it was indeed six "shit!" Chuuya laughed. He already won twice "hi it's eleven fifty nine! Someone get the candle" yuan ran to the kitchen and brought some candles while Leah unwrapped the cake

Koda lighted up the candles and Amaya turned off the lights "happy birthday to you.." they all started singing, Chuuya smiling at the cake and everyone that arrive to make his birthday the best.

"Make a wish!" Shane said Chuuya closed his eyes and thought of a wish, quickly blowing the candles.

'I wish this night will never end.'

All things come to an end though.

Everyone is drunk and fast asleep except Chuuya and Dazai that were washing dishes.

"Chibi" Chuuya hummed "can I sleep in your room?" Chuuya glanced at him and smiled "sure! Is there a reason?" Dazai sighed "I can't fall asleep with a shirt on and I have a few scars so I don't feel so comfortable with sleeping with a large group.."

Chuuya hummed "alright then, let's go. Good thing I got a queen size bed" Chuuya dried his hands on a towel and started walking to his room, Dazai followed behind

Only now he got a good look at the house

Old painting with an unfamiliar signature decoration the walls. Grey tile floor were cold under his feet but were soon a big wide rug that looked custom fitted.

Chuuya opened one of the doors. This one was decorated with stickers, posters and a few Polaroid pictures
Dazai recognized some of the people in it

There was an additional sign glued with duct tape

'Don't burn the house down big boy.
Happy birthday Yaya. -Kouyou'

"Yaya?" Dazai asked "a nickname" Chuuya smiled.

The room had LED lights on. Shining yellow. A desk, a mirror and closet with a queen sized bed. His laptop played some YouTube videos on low volume.

"sorry for the mess by the way" Chuuya yawned and took clothes from the top of the chair

'Meow'

Dazai looked at his legs "well hello there" a fluffy chunky cat rubbed on his feet "that's Arahabaki isn't it?" Chuuya nodded

"Well I'm going to change in the bathroom. If you want I have some shorts you can borrow in my closet. Surf trough it if you like" Dazai hummed and scratched the cats ears while Chuuya went to the bathroom to change.

Meanwhile Dazai looked in the closet. He found the shorts quickly and squeezed into one that seemed the largest

It was a bit shorter then he would've preferred but it is Chuuya's after all.
Dazai looked at himself in the mirror and took his shirt off.

Small patches of skin shone through his bandages. He slowly unraveled them from his wrists

The scars are long gone white but they're still there. Reminding him.
When Dazai finished taking the bandages off he rolled them tight and placed them on the desk.

Chuuya walked in "I didnt know you have tattoos" Dazai turned to look at him "makes sense. They are in my back" Chuuya giggled and stepped closer, closing the door

"Can I see?" Dazai turned his back to him slowly. It looked like a mix-and-match tattoo. A tiger looking at a pond, watching a carp fish jump out the water. The tiger had a snake warped around its leg. The snake looked up at the sky watching an unfinished dragon flying through

"Wow.. can I touch?" Chuuya asked "sure" Dazai said. He didn't mind his tattoos- he was the one who designed them after all. "Do they have meanings?" Chuuya asked, slowly stroking the tiger's back and dragging his finger across to his tail

"The tiger represents power, strength.. it looks at the carp because carp represents courage." Dazai explained. Chuuya listened. His finger was light when he touched Dazai's back

"The snake and dragon? What about them?" Chuuya asked Dazai smiled a bit "the snake represents healing. It looks up to the dragon because dragons represent wisdom." Chuuya hummed

"Why is the dragon not finished though?" Chuuya looked at the dragon's tail that was missing along with one leg

"Because I believe I have much more to learn in life."

Chuuya smiled softly "good luck with that, Dazai." Dazai turned around to face Chuuya. It was 5am already, the sky were getting lighter.

"Thank you." Chuuya said, looking in Dazai's eyes "for what?" Dazai asked him, brow raised "for coming today. And for the present.. you didn't have to." Dazai chuckled and hugged Chuuya

"I wanted to." Chuuya smiled and warped his hands around Dazai's back. Dazai was warm and it felt comforting in a way he can't explain.
"Come on.. let's get to bed" Chuuya chuckled "okay."

Chuuya entered first, sleeping at the side against the wall and Dazai sat down on the other side. Arahabaki's bell ringed when he jumped onto the bed, settling at the back of Chuuya's legs.

Dazai laid down in front of Chuuya, facing him and giving a soft smile when Chuuya was already looking at him with the blankets all the way to his neck.

Dazai laid down and pulled the blanket over himself.  The blanket was soft and smelled of flowery detergent.

"Goodnight Dazai.."

"Goodnight Chuuya."

They fall fast asleep in no time.
