the carefully curated moments

Day 1: Rose Day

On evening of February 7th, Dazai head back home with a big bouquet of roses in his hand. Despite have already given his crush a bouquet earlier in the day, he was now stuck with another one that he needed to hand over. For the first one, he'd casually walked into his old workplace- the Port Mafia building- and had deposited the flowers into his crush's hands.

Now however, it was late and time to head back home. So off he went, up the elevator and to the penthouse. Chuuya was already home. His coat on the coatrack, his shoes neatly put up into the shoe cabinet and him in the kitchen, whipping up something that was bound to be delicious.

Mentally preparing himself, Dazai walked up to him and held out the bouquet, "Here. Happy Rose Day, again."

Chuuya accepted the flowers in surprise, "Thank you? But you already got me one before."

"I know."

The mafioso raised his eyebrows in suspicion, "So? Why the second bouquet?"

Dazai clapped his hands together cheerfully, "Because! How can one bouquet be enough for such a cute person like Chuuya. Ne?"

A snort, "I smell bullshit. This sounds like absolute bullshit. What did you do, shitty Dazai?"

For a good few seconds, the flower-giver genuinely considered making up excuses. But unfortunately, he knew his partner well enough. There was no way in hell any of his excuses will be actually believed. So, out with the truth it was.

Dazai pouted, "Fine. If you must know. But it wasn't my fault!"

Then he went on to iterate the story about his entire rose-ordering fiasco. About how he was busy so he ordered them from website online, but they sent over a weird facewash (which he sent back obviously!) that wasn't even paid for. Even though he'd paid for his flowers online already! Then, about how he was positive that this was probably a scam so he ordered a second bouquet from a store that had been recommended to him. Turns out, they did online delivery all along!

But then again, later in the day after he'd already given flowers to Chuuya, the first website finally sent their flowers right before he was about to leave his workplace to head home. It wasn't the most terrible of timings, since he could collect it and bring it home. So there, that was the story of why Chuuya had to spare two vases of water on this fine day.

Chuuya started laughing immediately, "Holy shit. That is hilarious, what the hell. I'm sorry darling, this is very funny. I can't believe you almost got scammed."

A whine, "But I didn't! They delivered it, see!"

Chuuya just laughed some more, "Sure. So, dinner?"

"Yes please, thank you."

Day 2: Propose Day

By some miracle, Dazai actually happened to check his mail box before leaving his workplace. He almost never did, because let's be real, who was going to drop off important mail for him at his workplace instead of just texting him? Except maybe some credit card bill statements, but that wasn't super important so it was fine.

The only reason he even checked the box today was because for some reason, Yosano-sensei asked him to. She'd been scrolling on her phone and occasionally and then she just casually reminded him to check his post box before heading out. Weird but sure.

Even more of a miracle, there was actually an envelope there. He didn't give it too much thought, but picked it up and went home anyway. And well, since Chuuya wasn't home yet, that's almost the only reason he actually opened up the envelope to see what was in it.
