let’s dance

dressing[Dazai loathes the idea of working with Chuuya. Hadn’t he already done his time? They’d spent years together, and he’d hated it just as much, so being told they’re partnered on a joint mission again is almost enough to make Dazai outright refuse. However, he also hates his plans going wrong, and for this one to work, he needs to be there. The one saving grace is that Dazai knows Chuuya is going to hate it just as much.
That hardly makes it easier, though.]
You step on my foot once, and I’m throwing you under the bus.
[They’re meant to be attending this gala together, and at least Chuuya more or less knows how to dress himself. Dazai had fussed and squirmed the entire time he’d been fitted for a suit, but he looks presentable, hair tucked behind his ear, no wrinkles to be found. He’s wearing some ridiculous cologne that he hates, and keeps wanting to tug his collar open.
He is not looking forward to the dancing portion of this party. It’s not that he doesn’t know how—he’s been thoroughly taught against his will, and still remembers. No, it’s the fact that Chuuya is expected to be his partner.
Disgusting.]

Enjoying yourself?

Date: 2023-06-02 05:12 pm (UTC)[His objection is instant. But the way Dazai is saying it - that he'd only take Chuuya - almost feels like a compliment. He shoves it down. It's definitely not making him feel weirdly warm. He focuses on the dance. On the warning squeeze from Dazai. He could ignore it, because he doesn't take orders from Dazai, but...
He matches his pace smoothly again, letting Dazai lead.]
With you? Never.
[A lie.]

Date: 2023-06-10 10:53 pm (UTC)That sounds like something a dog would say.
[And Dazai hates dogs, so it's a fair comparison! Chuuya is even collared, how in the world can he object to being called a dog when he wears that thing around?
They turn, and Dazai purposely steps on one of Chuuya's feet.]

Date: 2023-06-11 01:25 pm (UTC)[He's cut off when Dazai steps on his foot, stumbling, gripping on tight to catch himself. He stops dancing as he tries to recover.]
What the hell?!
[Did anyone notice? He glances around quickly, before stepping closer to Dazai, both to hopefully pass off their actions as normal, and so he can whisper more angrily without being overheard.]
What? Got your feelings hurt since I wasn't enjoying myself enough, so now you have to ruin it?
no subject
Date: 2023-07-07 06:49 pm (UTC)[ That shit-eating grin on Dazai's face says otherwise, though.
Getting his feelings hurt? Hardly. Dazai has no feelings except contempt for Chuuya. That is literally the only feeling allowed to exist in his body.
They're awfully close now, though. Dazai presses his hand firmly against Chuuya's waist to keep him there. Why the hell is your waist so small, Chuuya? ]

Date: 2023-07-08 07:22 pm (UTC)Dazai's hand seems to fit perfectly against his waist.]
No, you're just a dick. [Ugh.] But fine. You're not a bad dancer. There's worse dancers in the room.
[Probably. Chuuya isn't paying attention to the other dancers.]
no subject
Date: 2023-08-17 02:50 am (UTC)The hand at Chuuya's waist squeezes, perhaps a little too hard, because he can.]
Ah, so you admit it? I am an excellent dancer? Would you like to say it again, dear?
[That shit-eating grin on his face isn't going anywhere.]
no subject
Date: 2023-08-23 11:07 pm (UTC)And focusing on the mission, of course.
But on the other other hand, Dazai will be a smug bastard about it. On the other other other hand... dear?! How the hell is he supposed to react to that, even if it's just for the parts they're playing.]
Prove it first.
[He's not giving in yet. But he does want to dance some more. And he doesn't think Dazai could grip him too tightly, even though he knows he's not actually being possessive.]
