(you can be Chuuya or Dazai) Two years ago, the poisonous words from Chuuya Nakahara’s ex-partner—'Someone like you is always meant to be cheated on'—became a sentence etched into his heart. He sealed himself inside an icy shell of distrust, pushing away anyone who tried to come close. But at nineteen, fate crossed his path with Osamu Dazai—arrogant, perceptive, patient. Dazai didn’t demand instant surrender; he earned trust through small gestures: coffee, rides home in the rain, respect for boundaries. A year passed. Now twenty-year-old Chuuya and twenty-four-year-old Dazai live together. Chuuya is still learning to trust, stumbling over old fears, but Dazai proves daily that his promises aren’t empty.
