week 4 afterparty

[ well, that was definitely A Trial.

however, oda understands that everyone must be feeling a little heavy, considering the death of someone like jughead and whatever bullshit dazai said earlier.

so, at everyone's door is a note that says the following:

If you don't want to be alone, come to the diner.

There's food.


oda himself is at the diner, although there's no food on his table, nor is he being a very good host of a party. he's just sitting alone at a table next to a window, staring out of it in deep thought. ]

[...Dazai sighs. He’s completely disarmed when it comes to these two.]

...then let’s take this inside.

[If it doesn’t matter where it happens then he doesn’t want to get either of them sick. It will also give him a moment to collect his thoughts while they change locations.]

Works for me.

[And with that said, she hops down from the tree.

Maybe not the best idea in the world, but she does nail the landing, and seems perfectly fine upon standing up. JRPG acrobatics, man.]

[He follows her down— hopping down without ever taking his hands out of his pockets.

Now they can travel.

[If Dazai noticed the movements of Oda's hand, he didn't show it. He's very good at ignoring the things right in front of him. So his hand remain casually perched in his pockets like nothing happened.

And he joins Oda, walking in an uncomfortable silence.

[Okay, but do you know who did notice all that? And do you know who's also completely done with all of this beating around the bush nonsense? Because it's the same person, and it's Millium.

She trots up to keep pace with them, squeezing herself in the middle and then tugging on their sleeves.

If they won't hold each other's hands, they can at least hold hers, right?]

[Feeling the tug at his sleeve, Dazai does hesitate. Acts of affection may come naturally for Oda, but to him, they're foreign. Just like the obviously theatrical displays that he makes to the women he's asked to join him in making terrible decisions, being genuinely affectionate would just seem fake.

Logically, in this situation, it's better not to get too involved-- or let other people get invested in him.

...yet after that moment of hesitation, he takes his hand out of his pocket and gently takes her hand anyway. And for all that it feels like an alien moment, it's nice for a moment.

Until Oda throws him under the bus.

...fine. Two can play that game.

Oh Odasaku... If you wanted to tie me to the bed, you could have just asked~~

[Millium offers him a little smile when he finally does take her hand, offering a little squeeze. She has nothing to add to what Oda has to say, and so she stays quiet...

Until Dazai has to ruin everything by speaking, because Dazai.]


Ehehe. Well~ I mean, if that's the kinda stuff you guys are into, go for it~! But maybe let me know before it gets this late so I can ask Sakura-chan if I can just curl up in her room for the night instead, y'know~?

[Millium don't encourage this]
