I probably should, but...I don't want to pry too much when I shouldn't.

[ He gave the other a sheepish look that was definitely 100% Rean. Sorry, he's bad at this. ]

But, I'd really would like to hear it.

[ While Dazai did that, Rean headed back to his bed, waiting patiently for the other's answer. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Would he really like to hear it? Moving over to the desk to grab the chair. Just going drag it to the door to situate it under the handle. ]

Just in case anyone decides to break in~

[ Then he'll move to the window to make sure it's locked. ]

The Mafia is an organized group of criminals. Gangs, hitmen, thieves, loan sharks... that's what we are.

[reanbeans]

...I see.

[ He'll smile a little. ]

I don't hate you just because you're a criminal. After all...I have or had friends who are or were in those sort of positions. If I started judging you now, I think that'd make me hypocritical.

[ A certain friend was a criminal, and so was Sharon, who was part of an actual shadow organization called Ouroboros.

Then, after he gave a pause, Rean's expression softened further. ]

So, I'm happy to work with you, Dazai. As long as we can, since we've no idea what else the Lady may plan for us all, but I hope we will still try our best until the end to foil her plan.

[deadlygoals]

[ He's not sure what he's expecting, but it certainly wasn't this. There's a pause before he laughs. ]

You're so strange.

[ Says the gremlin. Once he's sure the window is secured, he's heading over to Rean's bed to sit down next to him. ]

Don't be so happy to work with me. I may end up murdering someone with the right motivation.

[ Putting his hands behind him as he leans back in the bed. ]

[reanbeans]

[ The gremlin who can't handle spices. Tee hee. ]

...I know. I think deep down I know for everyone that could be true. But, at the same time, I can't afford to really worry about that, if I did, then...that just means that's all I ever really amounted to in the end.

[ The same thing would apply if he died. ]

I'll face it if or when the time comes. But, for now? I'm happy working together, by your side. So, I'll ask for you to continue bearing with me in the meanwhile.

[deadlygoals]

[ He's a delicate gremlin. ]

That's not a bad way to think.

[ Too bad Dazai can't think that way, but at least it appears like it doesn't bother him in the slightest. ]

What if I'm in here after something instead?

[reanbeans]

[ Rean would understand if others couldn't. It was a difficult situation, after all. ]

Are you? And if you are, what would it be?

[deadlygoals]

Maybe I'm after your body.

[ There's a wink, or maybe it's a blink because he only has one eye visible. He pauses for a moment, to let it sink in before continuing... ]

Just kidding.

[reanbeans]

[ Omg, Dazai. ]

...I wonder if I should be surprised you're messing around like that or not.

[ He looked embarrassed for a moment there, and he gave the other a nonplussed expression right after, even following the heat leaving his cheeks. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ That's an interesting color on his cheeks.

It just makes him want to tease him some more. ]

Were you hoping otherwise?

[reanbeans]

[ OMG

...This was why Rean was easy to tease. ]

...Dazai?

[deadlygoals]

[ It is. This is why Rean has a harem. ]

Hmm?

[ Is he trying to hide his expression now? ]

[reanbeans]

[ He'll get a single poke in the cheek. ]

B e h a v e.

[ Also yes, it was a very convenient way to hide that he was embarrassed again. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Pfft. He's getting better. ]

Everyone keeps telling me that.

[ Lifting his hand to poke the finger back. ]

Maybe I won't share why I'm here then.

[reanbeans]

[ Thanks, Dazai. ]

I imagine for a good reason.

[ Pause. ]

...Wait, can you though?

[deadlygoals]

Can I behave? Nope. It's against my nature to behave.

[reanbeans]

[ Wow ]

That's not the question I was asking and you know it.

[deadlygoals]

[ His expression goes serious for a moment. ]

I'm making sure you don't go on patrol tonight. [ And then there's the fox faced expression again a moment later. ]

And I wanted to get back at Ango.

[reanbeans]

...Dazai, you can't stop me from doing that.

[ Giving him a look that's rather serious. ]

And get back at him for what?

[deadlygoals]

Does that mean you were actually planning on doing it?

Don't worry about it. I made sure he's not alone at least.

[reanbeans]

[ He'll sigh. ]

If I do a quick patrol, it'll ease my mind. I'll be back before 10. I promise.

I didn't do a late one the week Kyousuke had taken action, so I have to make up for it. Maybe I'll see something - or stop someone.

[ Rean Had to do this. ]

...That's good, and I guess I'll have to settle for being satisfied with that.

[deadlygoals]

[ He knows what determination looks like. ]

You'll be without an alibi or someone watching your back.

[ It's dumb. Rean don't be dumb. ]

What if I give you a very good reason to stay?

[reanbeans]

[ Sorry but Rean has a terrible affliction of dumb protag disease.

He's anxious and worried and didn't want anyone else to die!! ]

...What would that reason be?

[deadlygoals]

[ he's pausing for a moment or two because anything he could say sounds like he wants something from this or cares. ]

I'll follow you.

[reanbeans]

[ ...Ah. ]

You changed your mind, then?

[ Then again, by Dazai's profession, he seemed to be a capable person; if they ran into trouble he could fight back. So maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to have him come with. ]
