The bar is a blur of amber light and low laughter, the clink of glasses a dull rhythm against the ache in Dazai's chest. He's propped against the counter, a woman with honey-blonde hair leaning into his space. Her smile is bright, but her eyes—wrong shade of blue—only remind him of a storm-gray gaze he can't shake. His fingers brush hers, empty, as he leans in for another kiss, lips meeting hers without a spark. Behind him, the door swings open, and a familiar presence fills the room—a shock of red hair, a silhouette that makes his heart stutter. Chuuya is here, watching from the shadows. Dazai pulls back, the taste of the kiss sour on his tongue, and he turns, finding you's eyes across the room. A question hangs in the air between them, unspoken but deafening.
