3rd person POV.
Chuuya and Dazai strolled towards the camping spot that Dazai had mentioned. The weather was nice, ever so slightly cold but not so cold to the point where you're shivering. The moon was clearly visible, floating above the city of Yokohama, amongst millions of stars.
It was Chuuya's turn to stare at Dazai this time. The moonlight perfectly fell on Dazai's face, illuminating all of his best features (his eyes, his jawline....). He looked like a god. Dazai's chocolate-brown eyes, they looked so soft and loving, yet they hid some of the deepest and darkest secrets, that not even the greatest detective in the world could figure out.
"Here it is!~" Dazai called out, pulling Chuuya out of his thoughts.
The ginger turned towards the campsite, it was a basic setting, but still pleasing to the eye. The tent was set up near the campfire, not too far away to the point where you can't feel the warmth, but not too close to the point where it's like sleeping next to the Sun.
Beside the campfire, you had your basics, a grill, some marshmallows, biscuits and chocolate, small chairs, sticks (to roast marshmallows) and other things. But Chuuya was far too exhausted to care about any of that, so he immediately headed towards the tent.
He unzipped the entrance of the tent and poked his head inside (A/N That sounds so wrong someone shoot me). It was pretty dark, there was a small lantern in the corner which Chuuya lit up. Normally you'd see sleeping bags on the floor of the tent, but this one had the floor made out of a mattress (A/N You can imagine how much fun this would be to bounce on) and was covered with a blanket. There were also pillows lined up in the corner.
Outside the tent, Dazai was busy throwing wood into the campfire to ensure that it would burn all night long, it would suck to wake up in the middle of the night to eat some s'mores only to find out that the fire had been burnt out.
Dazai walked towards the tent, he peeked inside and found Chuuya lying on his side on the mattress with a very interesting expression.
Ahh...Dazai knew that face, it was Chuuya's "I can't believe this is so good" face. The same one he (Chuuya) had made when he got a massage for the first time. The same one he (Chuuya) had made when he first had strawberries and wine.
It's adorable.
"I'm guessing the mattress is soft?"
"It's like sleeping on a cloud..." the ginger whispered, half asleep.
"Heh, I'll let you get some rest then, the little executive's gotta have full energy for his job right~?"
"Shut up shitty mackerel..." Chuuya mumbled, eyelids slowly fluttering shut.
Dazai slowly tiptoed his way towards his side of the mattress. He laid down, resting his head on the pillow, watching as Chuuya fell into a deep sleep. It was suddenly really quiet (A/N lol it got quiet after Chuuya fell asleep).
Dazai put his headphones on and listened to lofi beats. He knew his playlist far too well and ended up humming along.

Chuuya opened his eyes slowly, adjusting to the light coming in from the entrance of the tent.
He turned to face the area beside him, only to find the spot where Dazai was sleeping empty.
The ginger sat up and yawned, his shirt revealing a little bit of his stomach as he stretched, and at that exact moment, Dazai walked in. He tried not to "aww" at how cute and sleepy Chuuya looked, kinda like a lost puppy.
"Morning shorty!~"
Chuuya groaned at Dazai's energetic tone, it was far too early for this. "You owe me 200 Yen~~"
"Why?"
"Oya? Did you forget about our bet or are you pretending?"
"Oh the whole snuggle thing...you have no proof that I snuggled up to you yesterday night," the redhead replied, rubbing his eyes sleepily.
"Actually, I do!~ I took a picture because I knew you'd accuse me of lying~"
Chuuya gulped, feeling his body wake up more. "Show me."
"As you wish~"
Dazai fished his phone out of his pocket and unlocked it, scrolling through his gallery, smiling when he found the picture he was looking for. He kneeled beside Chuuya and showed him the phone.
Flashback to last night.
Dazai laid there in the blanket, listening to soft music with his headphones while reading his book. It was pretty dark but the light from the lantern behind him was enough. Chuuya was already fast asleep.
"Hoooo...the Apple Suicide? Interesting~~ I should try it sometime." Dazai quietly whispered.
The brunette flipped through the pages since he practically knew about every suicide method there was. He stopped when he felt something on his shoulder and around his chest.
He turned his head to the side and was met with fiery ginger hair. Dazai smirked as he realized that Chuuya was snuggling up to him. "Kawaii~~"
Dazai took off his headphones and closed his book, placing them to the side. He knew that Chuuya is a heavy sleeper -the only possible time he'd wake up was if he smelt wine- and so he took advantage of it by wrapping his arms around him (Chuuya).
He rested his face beside the top of Chuuya's head, taking in the scent of his hair (A/N hc that Chuuya's hair smells like either green apples or strawberries,,, idk why).
Dazai Osamu was not a soft person, but for some reason, he wanted to be so gentle with the shorter male beside him, afraid that being too harsh might break him. But obviously, he can't show this since it might give the wrong impression. He could never be like this while his partner was conscious.
But what Chuuya doesn't know is that, every single time they shared a bed, Dazai would always wrap his arms around him (Chuuya) and would softly kiss the top of his head.
It was kind of like a ritual now. And so, as always, Dazai placed a gentle kiss on Chuuya's forehead, slowly drifting off to sleep as well.
