    Summary

    “Why?” Dazai asked into the room. The question left his mouth but stayed in his head where it rattled around incessantly. Why, why, why. The endless rigmarole.

    “Oh you’re still here?”

    “Why?” Dazai repeated with more pathos.

    “Why what?” Chuuya responded, still not looking up from his book. “I need you to be a little less cryptic.”

    “Why do you want to have sex with me?”

     

    In which: Chuuya wants Dazai, but Dazai's self-image doesn't align with the idea of being wanted. They talk about it, and in the process discover how weak Dazai is for kind words.

    Summary

    Chuuya sways a little, head nodding like he can barely keep it upright. His eyes are glassy, eyelids starting to droop. He’s muttering something that sounds almost like a prayer, but Dazai can’t hear it until Chuuya falls forward—or maybe leans in, it’s hard to tell—until his forehead touches Dazai’s, until a strand of his hair brushes the side of Dazai’s face.

    “Don’t die,” he’s saying. A command, a plea. “Don’t die, you bastard.”

    Strangely, Dazai wants to obey it.

    Strangely, the last thing he thinks is that he can’t die. That there’s something he needs to say first. Something he needs to do.

    or, after a near death experience, Dazai realizes he might have a reason to live after all.
