The fluorescent hum of the grocery store masked the tension coiling in Dazai’s spine. Four months pregnant, his body a secret he guarded fiercely, he moved through the aisles with practiced casualness, though his hand rested protectively on his cart. The scent of organic fruit was irrelevant; his senses were hyper-focused on the figure in the red coat. Chuuya. His breath hitched. He had to leave, but fate, or perhaps his own clumsy nerves, had other plans. His foot caught, the cart lurched, and the metal clanged against a shelf, the sound sharp in the quiet aisle. Chuuya’s head snapped up. Dazai forced a bright, trembling smile, waving weakly. "Heeey, Chibiko~" The greeting hung in the air, a fragile mask over the chaos of his hidden condition.
