Intoxicated

Oneshot

"Cheers!"

All the company members clinked glasses together. They were having a party at the a restaurant for the new members Atsushi and Kyouka. Dazai and Yosano downed their sake both at the same time, each giving a satisfied sigh and proving to be heavyweights. Atsushi gave an awkward laugh at the two beside him and continued sipping his carbonated drink. Kyouka, however along the others, was minding her own business and helping herself to some boiled tofu.

"Atsushi-kun, try this fish cake, it's good."

Deciding to try the dish that Ranpo recommended, the boy picked up the small piece of fish cake on his plate and ate it whole. The moment the food touched his tongue, his mouth was filled with a burning sensation.

"It'z spizy!"

The chilli already affecting his speech due to his sensitive cat-like tongue. The genius detective laughed like a child as he watched the flustered silver-head twitching around due the spice, slurring his words. As the boy started to get blurry eyed from the heat, his hand ripped up the nearest glass of liquid he saw and gulped it down. Everyone was laughing along by then - even Kyouka was giggling -

All except for Dazai, who stared wide-eyed at iridescent-eyed boy. Atsushi had snatched up Dazai's similar looking glass of straight alcohol by accident and was currently chugging it down like a madperson.

"...that's...alco...hol..."

Muttered the brunette, too flabbergasted for words. At this the crowd silenced immediately and watched as Atsushi's head dunked down, face flushed and a smile plastered on his face, obviously drunk. The glass slipped from his fingers and rolled on the table.

"Rampo-shan..youh...thuiked mih..."

The intoxicated boy's words slurred and he fell back, down against the floor and curled up into a ball and fell asleep.

With this everyone decided to clear out since most of the food were finished and it was already late. Dazai offer to bring the drunk youth home since he was partially at fault.

The brunette waited for everyone to leave before proceeding to pick up the slumbering boy. Unexpectedly, Atsushi eyes snapped open abruptly when the man only grabbed his arm - giving him quite a surprise.

"Atsushi-kun, are you feeling better now?"

"Mmnnn..."

'Probably still fuzzy huh' thought the brunette sighing, proceeding to again try to pick up the boy who had just turned to the side and was napping again.

"Atsushi-kun - It's time to go already."

The man whispered while flipping him onto his back. He then noticed something - poking out of silver-head's shirt was a soft and striped tail and on his head were - cat-like ears. 'How cute' Dazai could not help but think. Atsushi had somehow managed to only half-shift into a tiger with the cat ears and tail. But they really need to vacate place soon so he called out once more. This time the boy finally decided to get up, tail waving slightly as he rubbed his eyes.

"Okay, ready to go?"

He asked leaning in and giving the weretiger a pat on his head.

"Heh.....Dazai..-san..."

The boy suddenly looped both his arms around the brunette and licked the man's lips, humming in delight. Dazai felt his heartbeat pick up as he chuckled and thought, 'How can anyone possibly be so cute.' He cupped Atsushi's head and gently guided him back down, leaning himself into the kiss. He could feel the boy tightening his hold on his neck as he did so, the boy's tail curling around his waist as well.

He broke apart once for air and before diving back in, pushing deeper this time. He slipped his tongue past the soft, pink lips and entwined his tongue to Atsushi's as he danced around the wet cavern, enjoying the sweet taste of the boy and the alcohol he ingested.

Just then, the door to the private dining opened as abruptly as it was closed. Sighing, Dazai pulled away from the boy and sat up. They were seen, most probably Kunikida since he was the only one who would be embarassed enough not to ask.

Gazing at the sight of Atsushi's swollen lips he finally decided to bring the drunken boy home. He carried the boy in a piggyback and left the restaurant.

Unbeknown to the two of them, everyone had bet on them getting together and Yosano and Ranpo had won the wager.
