[ chuuya was also fun to needle and poke at and be a complete shit to. it was a great partnership (for dazai).
he eyes the tottering mess atsushi is perched on with something like suspicion. can he catch this kid if he falls? would it be wasted effort to try? after all, he heals so quickly, surely any fall would hurt dazai more in the end, anyway.. though not badly enough to be fatal. ]
Hm, I wonder who might've told you that.. [ he sure had taken it to heart, hadn't he? it's kind of cute, this earnestness, though dazai knows what it stems from, too. complete strangers had taken in this boy who hates himself, had shown him kindness, given him a place of his own and a way to support himself.. he knows the thought process, he knows the emotions. a part of him worries a little-- in the end, to what lengths will he go?
he blinks, shakes himself of the thought, mouth quirking at the question. ] I guess not. [ ah, well, there's no harm in the lie. he's not much of one, anyway. not anymore. ] My Ability isn't really useful for that sort of thing. --Hey, you're not going to fall, right? [ he flaps skinny bandaged arms once. ] If I have to catch you, we might both die.
