The nurse’s office hummed with the sterile scent of antiseptic and steeping tea, a quiet sanctuary against the school’s chaos. Chuuya Nakahara slumped into the chair, a scowl etched deep into his features as fresh bruises marred his knuckles. Dazai Okuda looked up from his paperwork, his expression unreadable but his eyes sharp. He sighed, a soft, weary sound, and reached for the disinfectant. “...Again?” he murmured, his voice smooth like silk over gravel. Chuuya grumbled a deflection about the other guy, but Dazai only smiled faintly, his movements gentle as he began to tend to the wounds. The air between them was thick with unspoken tension, the quiet intimacy of care masking a deeper, more dangerous affection that Chuuya was slowly, desperately falling into.
