"Will the empty days start to shine bright?" Dazai muttered to the empty kitchen as he cleaned,
"No! Next!"
"Arghahh! Chuuuyaa you weren't supposed to be home yet, you can't hear my vows" Dazai whined,
"Well they suck," Chuuya threw himself onto the settee, not even bothering to greet Dazai with a kiss.
"That was harsh Chibi," Dazai replied as he grabbed a glass from the cupboard and opened a bottle of wine, pouring a large glass. He then made his way over to Chuuya.
"Hard day?" Dazai asked as he offered the glass to him.
"Not really, just long and frustrating. The mission was quick, but the paperwork, and sweet talking the cops to let Kaiji and Akutagawa go without pressing charges, then the paperwork for that and I tipped my tea over it all so I had to start it again cos Mori whinged that my paperwork is starting to grow things in storage, and I was worried about you and I feel so bad. I know the anniversary of Oda's death is hard for you and it's the tenth year and I had to leave this morning instead of going to visit him with you and,"
Dazai kissed him to stop his rambling, settling on the settee next to him.
"We both know work comes first, and I'm fine Chuuya, honest," the red eyes and watery smile told otherwise, "I've haven't fallen off the edge this year and well, our house is sparkling."
"This is good wine Dazai,"
"I hid it ready for when you had a bad hair day, I mean I thought it would be more literal, those tacky hats can't hide everything but I guess a day like today works too,"
"So, those vows of yours Dazai…?"
Dazai laughed,
"You're safe, it's a line from a song, it's all I can remember of it though. My empty days did start to shine bright when I met you though," another kiss,
"You make my days brighter too, even if you are an irritating pain most of the time,"
"Three more days and we will be together to make our days shine for ever." He smiled.
