[ 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.
[ He remembered what happened when he and his classmates had encountered some members of the Imperial Libration Front at Garrelia Fortress.
And...they were so ready to take that cyanide. That flicker of excitement confused him more than anything. He couldn't find anything exciting about that. ]
Meddling in the affairs of other countries to incite tensions, but also causing trouble on the local scale from time to time by terrorizing certain areas, and hiring jaegers to cause violent trouble from time to time. Just to list a few things.
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.

[ 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

[ 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 ]

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.

They have poison hidden in their teeth. It makes finding anything about them pretty difficult.
[ There's a flicker of excitement as he talks about this though. He likes difficult. ]
So what have they been doing?
