[ 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. ]
[ Pause. Rean turned over some things in his head as they walked out into the hall. He wondered, did the other really just want to hold his hand? He could only smile at that. Sure it had been so long since he had with anyone, but it'll be nice with a companion.
And maybe he could turn the joking around on him a bit. He was a little curious to see his reaction. ]
If you really wanted to hold my hand, all you had to do was just ask. Also, I'm sure with the both of us close together, and because of who we are, we'll make an efficient patrol.
...Why would he say something like tha—oh, nevermind.
[ Rean suddenly remembered how Mikami was and he had JUST learnt of Dazai's profession, so now everything had fallen into place.
...And now the brunet had been leaning into him. Rean's soft attempt at a tease failed to the surprise of literally no one, as he felt the embarrassment come back to his cheeks. ]
Dazai...I guess I'm not winning this one. Let's just get going.
[ He'll just shake his head, but when he moved forward it wasn't abrupt. ]
[ He might have to mess with Mikami even more now.
Brown eyes look up to try to catch that embarrassment. He almost feels bad. Almost. He really likes winning though. Letting go to pat him on the back. ]
Right? You should just accept defeat.
[ For whatever this is. He does hold out his hand for Rean if Rean wants to take it. ]
I don't really know him well, but I hope he might consider me a friend someday.
[ Rean's sure that Mikami has some good in his heart. He just needed to kind of chill on the CRIMINALS NEED TO DIE thing, first.
Though he could understand why someone might have a certain viewpoint like that, it just wasn't his cup of tea. ]
Luckily, for you, or maybe for me, I know when to quit.
[ Actually no he didn't if it involved him having to protag but shh. He'll reach out to take a hold of Dazai's hand, since he offered, and lead him out of the housing, to the square. ]
It might be easy if it's you. He likes people on the side of justice.
[ Mikami needs to chill on a few things. ]
Definitely lucky for you in this case.
[ Who knows if that's true since he's holding hands with this. Dazai's gaze does search for the clock's face just in case anyone is dumb enough to do a repeat. ]
[ Dazai thinks he just needs to get laid. So someone else can try hard to reach for that. Or maybe there will be a date auction next week.
After seeing a repeat isn't happening, he looks at the person beside him for a few moments. It may appear like he's not paying attention to patrolling, but he is listening to the sounds around them. ]
[ ...I mean, Mikami probably does need to get laid. Rean just believed the man needed more friends around him. ]
I had to patrol around back home and keep my attention rather open because of the situation back home. There were enemies who were fond of ambushes, after all.
[ . . .Hm. Now that's advice Rean will keep in mind for sure, even more than the face one. ]
Maybe it should be.
[ He'll go along with swaying their hands. ]
...Something like that. Though, that's not the only thing they're trying to make happen—unfortunately, because we don't know what they really want, we don't really know their true goal.
[ He's not going to share some of the things he's done. They might make Rean concerned in that whole good guy way. ]
Yeah. A group appeared before us. They ambushed my group, while also hitting a weapons cache at the same time. We don't know what they are after or where they came from.
at the same time, man is drawn to death. Death is endlessly consumed by men in cities and in literature. It is a singular event in one's life that none may reverse. That is what I desire.

What if I give you a very good reason to stay?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-17 03:48 am (UTC)He's anxious and worried and didn't want anyone else to die!! ]

I don't know if you'd fall for a distraction, either.

[ And now opening the door! ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-18 03:23 am (UTC)I'll try.
[ He already had Ango really upset about how he keeps getting hurt... once the door is opened, he'll loop an arm around Rean's. ]
Might as well stay close. If anyone asks what we're doing, we can pretend we're going on a date.
[ A night stroll when there might be a murder, but it might be shocking enough people won't question it or will lower their guard. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-18 03:56 am (UTC)At the suggestion, though— ]
...Do you really think anyone would believe that?
[ Rean looked a little embarrassed. ]
Though I know you're just messing around again.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-18 04:00 am (UTC)[ That thought is amusing. ]
Maybe they'll believe it more if we hold hands?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-18 05:46 am (UTC)I don't think so.

Date: 2020-01-18 06:22 am (UTC)Mikami would~ He would probably tell you to watch whatever touches me.
[ There's a beat before he leans into the other for a moment. ]
I think we look pretty cozy like this already.
[ This is going to be why he starts stepping up the teasing, isn't it ]

Rean's sure he could reach Mikami if he tried hard enough, however. ]
Haha, then I'll take what I can get.
[ Meanwhile, Rean's eyes are honed expertly on their immediate surroundings, looking for sudden or slow movements in the dark. ]

no subject
Date: 2020-01-19 11:02 pm (UTC)[ Rean was smart enough to know well by now that Dazai's antics didn't necessarily mean he wasn't paying attention or reading the situation.
Experience happened to help a little with that, even before having met the man, though. ]
...You do?
