Chuuya's POV.
"Should I?"
Pluck.
"Should I not?"
Pluck.
"Should I?"
Dinner at 7:30 eh...?
"Should I not?"
Sounds fun...
"Should I?"
Being around him...
"Should I not?"
I plucked the last petal of a flower I found lying in my balcony, somewhat disappointed with the results. I plucked the single leaf hanging off the stem.
"I should." I whispered to myself.
"Well, the flower said it not me, can't argue with flowers now can ya?" I shrugged, reassuring myself that I was agreeing to go on this dinner just because of the flower. Walking back inside my bedroom, I sighed.
"Oh who am I kidding, I like him. Damn it! How could I like him!? Him! Out of all people!?"
"Yes yes, I know you're very surprised, that's only because I'm a master at hiding my feelings."
.
.
.
"Ughhh who am I kidding, judging by all the times he's seen me getting flustered and all embarrassed, he probably already knows. Tch help meeee..!! What do I do?? I want to go but I don't want to go?"
"..."
"So this is what my life has come to? Talking to walls?" I deadpanned as I stared at the empty grey wall in front of me. I had drawn a tiny smiley face on the wall when I was drunk, maybe that was why I was talking to it.
I stared at the note again. Fine...maybe I'll go...
Friday.
I took a deep breath and stared at myself in the mirror. I didn't know where Mackerel planned on taking me, so I didn't really know if I should go formal by wearing a suit or casual by wearing ripped jeans.
3rd person POV.
Chuuya stared at the mirror for another 5 minutes. He was wearing a deep, burgundy coloured button-up shirt. Being the fashion master that he is, he decided to leave the top two buttons undone. For his neck accessories, Chuuya wore his regular pet-styled choker. He decided to wear black jeans with a short belt chain hanging from his waist. He was wearing black shoes with a slight platform, and to top it all off, he wore a black jacket, letting it hang off of his shoulders.
Chuuya decided to forego his -oh so precious- hat, since he wasn't going to spend the entire evening listening to Dazai make fun of it.
~
The ginger watched as the clock ticked closer and closer to 7:30. Why was he so nervous? It's not like he's never been alone with Dazai before. Well, it's just that, something about this "date" with him seems different. Just the fact that you can even call it a "date" sends chills down Chuuya's spine.
He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard the doorbell ring. Chuuya stood up and walked towards the door, hesitantly reaching for the doorknob.
.
.
Before him stood Dazai, in all his bandaged-wrapped glory. He was wearing a black button-up shirt, along with deep blue denim jeans. For accessories, obviously he was still wrapped in bandages -visible at the neck-, he also had a black band-ring around his index finger. He chose black boots for footwear. And lastly, Dazai had one side of his hair tucked behind his ear -which Chuuya found extremely hot-.
The first thing Dazai said was, "You clean up well."
And Chuuya replied with, "Tch, I could say the same about you, shitty Mackerel."
"Fufu...the evening hasn't even started and you're already throwing insults at me...I must say Chuu, I'm heartbroken..~"
"Yeah yeah, just shut up and tell me where we're going."
"How could I tell you where we're going if I'm supposed to shut up?~"
Sigh...this was going to be a long night.
~
The duo had been strolling around the streets of Yokohama for about 15 minutes when suddenly, the taller of the two stopped.
"Wha-"
"You're not wearing your hat!"
"Congratulations on being the last one to realize, genius."
"No wonder you look so much better than normal~!"
"Ha!? Do you want me to go get it cause I'll do it! My house isn't that f-"
Dazai stopped him mid-sentence, "No no!~ Without your hat, it's easier for me to do this!~"
"Do w-"
Dazai placed his hand on Chuuya's head and ran his fingers through Chuuya's hair gently. (A/N I wanted to say "he rubbed Chuuya's head gently" but that sounds....😃)
As expected, the ginger's face heated up, hell you could probably cook steaks on there.
He shyly looked down, frowning because of how red and flustered he was getting, "Dumbass..." Chuuya whispered.
"Anyways!" Dazai chirped, "Let's get started with this make-up dinner!"
"Make-up what?"
"Make-up dinner! I'm making it up to you for taking care of me while I was intoxicated, by treating you to dinner!" Dazai grinned a cheeky grin.
"..Your brain and thought process confuses me."
"Oh don't worry, it confuses most people~"
~
Dazai dragged Chuuya up a slope. "Oi! Where the hell are we going?" The shorter male panted.
"I'm taking you to one of the best spots in Yokohama~"
"Can't I just use my ability to fly up there?"
"Nooooo~ First off I don't wanna walk up this slope alone, and second, you know it'd be troublesome if someone saw an ability user."
"I'm a mafioso, I don't give a damn about any of those reasons."
"Aww come on Chuu~ where's all that endless energy gone?~"
"You're the one with the endless energy!"
"Oh right...well maybe I could act as one of those automatic phone chargers!"
"Automatic what?"
"You know! Those little flat chargers where you just put your phone on top of them and the phone starts charging!~"
"And how exactly do you plan on doing that?"
"Easy! I'd carry you on my back!"
"Fuck no!"
"Well, would you rather I carry you bridal style?"
"I'd rather you didn't carry me at all!"
"Hmph! Suit yourself then~"
Chuuya really didn't want to be carried by Dazai, but then again, he really didn't want to walk anymore. And so he reached out and held Dazai's hand.
"Hm?~"
"Think of this as a compromise..." Chuuya frowned.
"Ahem. Anyways, are we almost there?"
"Yup!~" Dazai smiled brightly, cheeks turning pink.
~
The couple finally reached the top of the slope, For most of the remaining trip, Dazai was dragging Chuuya up, but the scenery from the top immediately recharged Chuuya's energy.
As of right now, both males were standing side by side near the railing, presented with a splendid view
of the lit up city, glowing with bright and colourful lights.
The sparkling of the lights were reflected in Chuuya's ocean blue orbs, which Dazai couldn't stop admiring. He found Chuuya more fascinating than the view to be honest.
(A/N this spot)
"So, shall we eat?~" Dazai turned his head to face the tiny redhead.
"Yes please!" Chuuya immediately answered, if he had waited any longer, Dazai might've even heard his stomach growl. Which he did.
"I brought....tonkatsu curry! Still warm!"
"How is it still warm when we've been walking for so long?"
"✨Magic✨" Dazai replied as he served Chuuya some of the curry and rice in a bowl.
"Thanks," Chuuya took the bowl from Dazai and waited for him to serve himself.
~
"Itadakimasu." "Itadakimasu~" They both said at the same time, digging into their food. It was surprisingly tasty.
Not surprisingly, Chuuya was the first to finish since he was practically inhaling his food. Dazai chuckled. "Oh c'monnn~ you can't be that tired! You're the Mafia executive for god's sake!"
"I'm not tired, I'm stressed!"
"About?"
"Work. Mori-san and Kouyou nee-san have a lot of paperwork piled up for me, and Akutagawa is creating more trouble for me by fucking trying to chase you or that damn were-tiger ever chance he gets." The ginger huffed.
"Then why did you agree to come meet me for dinner? Shouldn't you have stayed home and finished your work?"
"I needed a break, and I wanted to be around someone who would take my mind off things."
"Aww~ that's cute."
"Ha? I'm just saying what's on my mind, dumbass! Tch. What time is it?"
"Hmm...9 pm."
"Shit...I have to go home, ergh but I really don't want to..!" Chuuya said in a muffled voice as he rested his forehead on his knees.
"Why don't we just stay here then? There's a camping spot not too far away. Plus, I wanna see if you still snuggle up to the person that's beside you while you're asleep~"
"Ha!? I do no such thing!"
"Wanna bet?"
"Y'know what?! Yes! I bet you 200 Yen that I won't snuggle up to you." (A/N 200 Yen is about 15 HKD, I don't know if that's considered expensive but eh, in HK (where I am) it's not that much)
"Alright, you got yourself a bet! Also, I have picture proof. And one time after you used Corruption and I was forced to keep an eye on you since I think that was the first time, you absolutely refused to let go of my waist... just sayin~"
"Can we talk about something else!?"
"Look at you getting all red~~ can't take a little teasing?~"
"SO ANYWAYS, where's this camping spot at?!"
"Fufufu~~"
