Silver moonlight filters through the blinds, casting long, skeletal shadows across the tangled sheets. Dazai bolts upright, his breath coming in ragged gasps as the remnants of a phantom pursuit cling to his skin. As the adrenaline recedes, he finds Chuuya still awake, lying rigid and staring blankly at the ceiling in the grip of a restless insomnia. The silence of the room is heavy, charged with everything they leave unsaid. Dazai turns his crimson gaze toward his partner, his usual sharp edge dissolving into a soft, needy pout as he reaches out, seeking the only anchor he trusts.
