[And while Chuuya can be an asshole himself, he's not so much of an asshole as to question Dazai on Oda when he knows he hasn't sorted out how he feels about everything that happened. It's more than just Dazai leaving, really. It's the fact that the one time Dazai lost someone he loved, he ran. But for Chuuya?
The people he loved had always ended up being disposable to Dazai. To the mafia as a whole. And Chuuya had justified it to himself as just how things were, just what this life meant, that they'd all accepted that choice. The organization continued on, and everything was for the organization, the city.
That Dazai of all people had run because of loss had thrown all Chuuya's feelings into disarray, and he wasn't ready to confront that tangled mess, yet.
The topic of Kotone is a welcome one. Dazai choosing to cooperate is just as welcome, and some tension eases in Chuuya's shoulders when he takes a bite of that apple.] Yeah... I think that'd be good. She started to enjoy it after a bit, y'know.
[She deserved a chance to properly enjoy herself while flying, rather than worry the whole time.]
You know I don't. You never take me flying. Thankless.
(just a joke, to lighten the mood, because both know it's not a denial on chuuya's part, but an inability altogether. 'no longer human' can be a wonderful thing, but it also strips him of opportunities ever so often.
he's definitely going to ask him to take kotone home via gravity, however, he'll stay put. there's no way he'll have energy or time to find himself another hole in that meantime, and they don't need to all suffer the walk on the way back.
but on the topic of thankfulness, dazai just looks at chuuya for a second, there. he doesn't need to say it. thank you for the space, thank you for trying to understand.)
[It's just as much a joke as Dazai's own words, meant to tease, not to pick a fight. Frankly if he could use his ability on Dazai, it would have made the aftermath of some missions a hell of a lot easier. Too bad, really.
He'll probably demand a promise that Dazai behave in exchange for returning Kotone home first, but he's aware enough that making her walk home with them both would be meaningless. But the choice will be hers: He's not going to make her accept a lift from him, regardless of how Dazai feels on it.
The gratitude of that look, however, is uncomfortable in a way. All of this is as much for Chuuya's sake as Dazai's, and it's not something he's willing to verbalize. He focuses instead on wrapping Dazai's legs, nudging him when he needs him to shift so he can have better access, his head bent to his task.]
Oh, so like you every day about literally anything else?
(and this is exactly why when kotone suggests he talks to chuuya, he will cry laughing. they never speak, not really. it's the freaking double black hivemind. did chuuya just rip dazai a new one without dazai saying one word to entice it, down to the very details of his thoughts? oh, yes, he did. dazai despises it, as useful as it is to both of them, and sometimes, to the entirety of japan! and Yokohama!
fuck chuuya, though.
so, instead of bitching like he normally would, he'll just focus his efforts onto eating, letting chuuya do his thing while he shifts as needed. walking back is going to take a while. he'll firmly tell kotone to go safely, because he'll need a few breaks, probably.)
