    Summary

    Chuuya hesitated, then slowly lowered himself, distributing his weight cautiously, like he was afraid of crushing Dazai by accident.

    The pressure hit all at once. Dazai made a soft, startled sound he couldn’t stop, and his hands curled reflexively into Chuuya’s shirt.

    “Oh,” he breathed, eyes squeezing shut. “Um—that’s—”

    Chuuya tensed immediately. “Too much?”

    “No,” Dazai said quickly, voice trembling. “Please don’t move.”

    There is no memory of being held. There is only the present: a couch, too much quiet, and Chuuya trying, clumsily, not to make things worse. Dazai discovers the absence inside him has edges. Chuuya discovers he can’t ignore it.

    or: touch, for dazai, has always meant violence, restraint, or pain. this is about the other kind—and the hollow it leaves behind once he notices it exists.

    Whumpuary 2026 - Day twenty-nine - Touch starved, “I need help.”

    Summary

    After the Dragon's Head Conflict, Chuuya is bogged down by grieving along with questioning his own motives and sense of self. It grows increasingly more difficult to do so when he is locked in a room with Dazai due to a mandatory lock-down. Especially when Dazai begins pushing him to practice their shooting act despite how poorly the last time had gone.

    Summary

    The redhead would deny it if asked, so Dazai simply wouldn’t. And, though the decorations had reappeared as usual on December first, there was something incredibly obvious that the other boy was lacking this year — and in its absence the hatrack was decidedly… spicier.

    It didn’t take a genius to figure out the cause, the punch bag between them was still wheezing with the brunt of it. But who was Dazai if he wasn’t willing to provide that bit of resistance, that angry red leather, in human form?

    The pleasures of partnership.

    “What’s the chibi doing later?”

    OR Dazai takes Chuuya to the Yokohama Christmas market for... reasons, and Chuuya has a mortifying realisation.

    Summary

    Preventing the end of the world had been easy. Well, not truly, it had come at great personal cost and the result of multiple convoluted plans with many moving parts. But he could do that. Returning home however? Wholly different.

    Somehow those familiar doors look horrifically different. Perhaps he's changed too much while he was away? Perhaps they have? Maybe it has been too long?

    (Dazai's a fool. Family never forgets. They never let go. It's okay though, they can teach him.)

    Summary

    Dazai takes a steadying breath and steels himself before sliding to his knees on the carpeted floor. It’s not as graceful as he’d like it to be, what with his injured leg, but he manages to catch himself without using his hands or hurting his knees, so he counts it as a win. When he peers up at Chuuya through his bangs, the wideness of Chuuya’s eyes also registers as a victory.

    “I know Chuuya is still angry,” Dazai murmurs, so Chuuya has to look closely at his lips to make out the words. “He may take it out on my body, if he likes.”

    or, Dazai is (his version of) touch-starved after weeks stuck in his bubble in Meursault, so he ~convinces Chuuya to help him with his problem. He's not expecting all the revelations that come with it.
