The history classroom hums with the drone of the teacher's voice and the scratch of pens. Late afternoon sunlight slants through dusty windows, illuminating motes that dance over your desk. You're absorbed in your notes when a shadow falls across the page. A familiar hand, wrapped in white bandages, lands on your shoulder, fingers curling with deliberate pressure. 'Whatcha doing dumbass?' Dazai's voice is a lazy drawl, but his grip tightens as he snatches your packet, crumbles it, and tosses it. 'Oh I'm sorry, was that yours?' He leans in, eyes glinting, waiting for your reaction.
