Chuuya has finally reached the hospital. Oda was sitting on the chair in the room, chatting with Dazai. As soon as he noticed Chuuya coming into the room, he said his goodbye to Dazai before he stood up. ''Chuuya-kun ,'' he addressed while he walked out as Chuuya merely nodded, eyes fixed on the brunet.
Dazai was sitting legs crossed, his back leaning against the soft pillow Oda had positioned for him. ''Hi~ Chibi.'' His voice was still annoying, yet soothing at the same time.
Instead of being all soft and gentle to a patient who had just woken up from a coma, Chuuya stomped over and yelled at his face. ''You used yourself AS BAIT ! AGAIN !!'' Of course he knew Dazai did it to save him, but he expressed his worry with anger, that's just how Chuuya was.
''YOU LITERALLY STOPPED BREATHING FOR A WHILE BACK THERE ! DO YOU KNOW HOW I FELT ?! I WAS WORRIED ! I WAS ON THE EDGE OF BREAKING DOWN !!'' He then sat on the chair with his arms crossed, his flustered face looking away from the startled brunet. Then he mumbled, ''You bastard...''
''But I did it to save you, Chuuya. You're my partner~'' Dazai slurred calmly. Realization flashed across Chuuya's eyes, then disappointment.
That's right, I'm juz his partner, nothing more.
Then he felt two slim fingers holding his chin gently, turning him towards the brunet. His eyes widened in surprise as Dazai leaned closer and swiftly placed a quick soft kiss on his lips. ''My life partner.'' He smiled with soft hazel eyes staring into the blue ones.
Chuuya's cheeks burned pink.
Did he-- did he hear what I had said that day?
He immediately stood up and turned to leave, but Dazai put his arms around Chuuya's waist, pulling him backwards. His pull was relatively weak because of the coma he had been in, but Chuuya didn't resist too much.
''Uwa-- '' Chuuya fell sitting on the bed, his back facing Dazai as the latter hugged him tighter, resting his chin on the shorty's shoulder.
Chuuya didn't break himself free of Dazai, he sat still on the soft mattress blushing, his heart pounding hard. ''Neh Chuuya.'' Dazai's voice was soft. ''... hm ?'' ''Do you remember our first mission, when you made me realize I wanna live ?'' Chuuya nodded lightly. ''I dunno since when but... but you've become one of the reasons I wanna live.''
Dazai was never good at expressing his feelings. He didn't even know what he was doing, he just let his instincts carry him along. But Chuuya understood what he was trying to convey : ''I like you too''.
Chuuya started to relax his stiff body. He rubbed his fingers together while a moment of silence accompanied the two. ''Hey Mackerel.'' Dazai tilted his head ever so slightly to look at the side of the shorty's face. ''Do you think Mori will agree if we... if we be together ?'' The brunet chuckled lightly when he noticed the adorable shorty still blushing.
Chuuya immediately broke out of his embrace and turned to face him as he squealed. ''AaARR what are you laughing at ?! I'm still gonna beat you up after your recovery for lying about not using yourself as bait ! You're not getting away from that.'' Chuuya grabbed Dazai by his collar and shook him front and back. ''Eh~? Then what's the point in recovering at all~?'' Dazai hummed as he let the angry shorty swing him, his head bouncing front and back, eyes closed.
Then he suddenly pointed a finger up mid-air. ''What if I bring you out for a date, our first date ?'' Then Chuuya stopped and Dazai's head hung to the front, then he lifted his head waiting for Chuuya's response. The ginger head let go of his collar and smiled cheerfully. ''Okay then you're safe from getting beaten up.'' ''But Chuuuyaaa ,'' Dazai slurred. ''What ?'' Then a childlike smile spread across the brunet's face. ''I'm hungryyy.''
Chuuya chuckled lightly as he rolled his eyes. ''Fine, I'll go get you something to eat.'' Then he got off the bed to head out. Dazai stared at the chibi walking off. He couldn't stop his own soft smile. He could feel something in him, something nice, something warm.
This is... love.
They ate together while Chuuya updated Dazai on what had happened, and that Kyora had went missing. Then they went on talking about random stuff. ''So where do you wanna go tomorrow ?'' Dazai asked. ''I don't think you'll be discharged as of tomorrow, idiot. That's too soon.'' ''I can sneak out~''
Chuuya slapped the brunet's lap lightly. ''No, don't do that. The date can wait.'' He was responded with a pout. That day, Chuuya spent the night accompanying Dazai in the brunet's sleep, hands holding the chibi's in his.
