Slowly, the tension bleeds from Dazai’s body as he watches the redheads sleeping form. After a few moments, he concludes Chuuya is *actually* still asleep and not faking it. So, he allows himself to hold his partner's jaw for a little longer, his thumb resting comfortably in its spot on his lip.

His eyes wander once again over Chuuya’s face, trying to spot every freckle. He even notes a small scar just below his temple. He will allow himself this moment, Dazai decides. Just this once.
