Dazai had come back home to find his little orange fast asleep on the couch. He smiled at her curled form.

The detective went into the bathroom, drawing a bath, checking its temperature before he picked the slumbering ginger up, moving her into the bathroom.

The suicidal enthusiast managed to strip himself along with the redhead, tossing their clothes into the laundry basket. Dazai swiftly eased himself into the warm water with Chuuya in his arms, her small back against his chest.

At the warmth and sudden wetness, Chuuya's sapphire orbs slowly slid open.

"Dazai?" She mumbled drowsily.

"Shh, get some sleep, Chuu-chan," he kissed the top of her head, "you deserve it after a long day."

She nodded slightly, eyes closing as she went back to sleep.

With gentleness, the ex-Mafia executive rubbed soap over the petite Mafia's back. Hands running up and down, massaging her tired muscles.

Said person blissfully moaned lightly in her sleep.

Dazai chuckled quietly. She was just too adorable.

Finished cleaning her back, the brunette moved on to her arms before going down her slender legs and torso. When her body was cleaned thoroughly, the chestnut eyed male laved the hat lover's tangerine locks, careful not to get water or soap into her eyes.

"Let me help," Chuuya said quietly, waking up and spinning to face him.

"Are you sure? You can go back to sleep, Chuu-chan."

"Don't give me that crap," she grumbled, "you helped me so it's only fair that I do so in return."

The nullifier gazed at her for a minute before a beam spreads across his face.

"Okay~"

Dazai obliged to the gravity manipulator's orders and turned around. The mafia executive worked on his back, massaging him like he did her.

"Ah~ Chuu-chan gives the best massages, I could fall asleep right now!" He teased.

"Shut up," her cheeks bloomed with warmth.

He smirked at her flushed skin, continuing to wash his chocolate hair. Moments later, the pressure of her hands on his back lessened and a weight dropped on top.

Dazai blinked, twisting his head around to find Chuuya fast asleep again, head on his upper torso. He giggled at her cute face and resumed cleaning himself. Once the male was done, he drained the bathtub and rinsed them once over, lifting the short girl out and towel dried them both.

The brunette left in his bedroom. He placed Chuuya on the futon and proceeded to the closet, pulling out clothes. Dazai quickly wrapped bandages over his arms, neck and torso, slipping on his shirt and pants, before looking over at his sleeping orange. With a finger to his chin, he pondered on what he should dress her in.

The man sighed. He decided to give the tired girl a break from his usual antics and dressed her up in an oversized long sleeved shirt, ending mid-thigh.

Dazai flicked off the light and tucked them both into the covers of their bed.

Chuuya snuggled up to his side the moment he laid down. The ability user smiled softly, watching her breathe, pink lips slightly parted. Silky orange locks framing her innocent face.

"Good night, Chuuya," he kissed her forehead, arm snaking around her waist as he too sunk into his own fatigue.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! XD

Each one-shot isn't connected at all. Lol. They are all different with varying relationship levels between Dazai and Chuuya. At least that's what I think.
): /c

But at the same time, they take place in the same world. 🤔 Ugh. I'm confusing myself. (I'll be adding AUs now too)

Thank you for reading!
