"What are we, Dazai?" You asked once, while lying on your bed in nothing, but his shirt and underwear, smoking your favorite packet of red Marlboro
Sun was already down long ago and the only thing, that was lighting the room was a lamp, that was standing lonely in the corner, and the neon light of the liquor store across the street.
The said man, turned his head away from the window to take a look at your pretty face and for an infinite moment, your eyes met.
Your lips locked around the cigarette as you breathed the smoke in again without breaking the eye contact, having no idea how this sight of you was driving Dazai crazy
"What do you mean?" The brunette finally said, coming closer to the bed "We've been dating ever since we were in the Mafia."
"Oh no, I didn't mean it that way." You replied "I meant, what is a definition to us? What are we? How can one explain what is (Y/N)? Or what is Dazai?"
He frowned, confusedly, looking deeper in those eyes of yours, that were always covered with the haze of mystery, even for such a man like Dazai.
"I'm confused, love." He said
"Look," You sighed "What word can you use to explain me? A villain? A hero? A lover? What?"
"Ahh...I think, I get what you mean." Dazai replied, realizing, that the question you asked was even harder, than understanding it
A car lights flashed past your window, for a second, covering the brunette's face with bright red lights. You've heard, that human's brain often interpreted the color red with danger so the sight you saw just now was quiet ironic. You remembered, how much warnings you got from the life itself to stay away from the man in front of you, yet you let the curiosity win and make you stay
The question now was will curiosity kill the cat?
"You know..." Dazai finally spoke "I think, I would define you as...orphic. You're something mysterious and entrancing, something, that is beyond ordinary explanation."
"Really?" You smiled softly "I like this explanation~ You really are good with words, darling~"
"What about me then~?" He asked, placing a hand on your cheek gently "How would you define me~?"
"Hm...." You paused to think a little and breathe out a circle of smoke, before replying "I think, that explorer suits you the best. You've seen everything the man could see: the good, the bad, death, life, happiness, pain. You've explored it all just like a traveler."
A hint of a soft pain appeared in Dazai's eyes as he thought about your words.
"I guess, that it really is the right word for me." He agreed
"But you didn't answer my first question though." You reminded him "How would you define us? What are we together?"
"That is a hard question." He sighed, brushing your hair "And I suppose, that if I just say 'lovers', it won't satisfy you, right?"
"Oh c'mon!" You exclaimed "We're much more, than this trivial word~"
"Maybe we are...soulmates?" He suggested
"Ordinary." You replied "Let's think about it more. Hm....we're not friends, not relatives, not partners..."
"We're not alleys as well..." Dazai mumbles to himself "Indeed, what are we? I haven't thought about it."
"Oh I know!" You suddenly exclaimed "How about esthetes?"
"Why this word?" He blinked
"We both enjoy art and beauty, that we find in each other." You explained, finally extinguishing the cigarette "We are not perfect, but so is art and beauty and true esthetes enjoy such things."
Dazai laughed softly, yet lovingly and leaned down to kiss your forehead
"(Y/N), you're amazing, you know that~?"
