Chuuya had been a bit freaked out when he had heard the truth. That he had to get his tonsils taken out. He didn't even really one hundred percent know what that meant, but someone taking something out of your body was just a bit too much for him and that was really all there was to it.

The second he had told his best friend, Dazai, these fears he had been laughed at though. It had been more then a little embarrassing. After Dazai finally calmed down and discovered he was serious, he promised to visit right after and bring lots of ice cream with him. That was another thing- he wouldn't be able to talk or eat the majority of foods for a while, which, considering how Chuuya talks a lot and loves food, wasn't really something he was completely okay with.

Everyone at school tried to give him advice.

"Give me a detailed report afterwards." Kunikida.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Atsushi.

"It's fine, you'll end up being rather happy in the end anyways." Ranpo.

"I could preform it instead if you want?" Yosano.

"I feel so bad for you! City people are weird.." Kenji.

"You'll be fine." Akutagawa.

Well, he definitely wasn't going to give any kind of report to Kunikida- that 'report' would have to be hundred of pages long. And he didn't exactly trust Yosano, no offence to her. As for Ranpo... Chuuya decided to just ignore that comment. It wasn't like Ranpo made any sense ever, so why bother now? Knowing him it would become clear. Chuuya made sure inform Atsushi that no, he did not want him to come with.

The day was finally there and Chuuya nervously went to the doctors, ready to finally get it over and done with. If what he had heard was to be believed, it would be fine, just like his school mates had all told him.

And it was fine.

Afterwards Dazai showed up with much more ice cream then Chuuya could ever eat though. Chuuya wasn't allowed to talk, but his glare must have gotten the message across because Dazai laughed as he pulled out two spoons. "Don't worry," Dazai spoke, sounding cheerful. "I'll help, okay? I got every kind they had, since I didn't know what kind you like, so we have lots!"

No kidding.

They dug into the ice cream happily, and a few moments passed by as Dazai rambled on about some new gossip or something. Atsushi had asked Akutagawa out and had been denied? That's seemed to be the gist of it. "I know this may be bad timing," Dazai continued, "but I've kind of had a crush on you for a while."

Excuse me. What had Dazai just said? Chuuya stared at him, cheeks burning, as Dazai cheerfully continued eating ice cream as though nothing was wrong. Chuuya opened his mouth, fully intending to yell at him, but Dazai pressed a hand tightly to his mouth. "You can't talk, remember?" Dazai reminded him, before taking his hand away.

So Chuuya was forced to wait days before he could talk to Dazai about it, and by then they had already kissed once, so it didn't even matter. Though Chuuya was now able to say yes to the boyfriend question, which was a bonus.

Chuuya's only question was how the fuck had Ranpo known?
