in an ideal world 😭👏 so real, though

we all know Chuuya loves his personal space, and Dazai loves Chuuya's personal space, so Dazai would always try to insert himself into Chuuya's personal space

Chuuya will be reading in bed and Dazai will walk in wordlessly and plop down on the bed and stretch out across Chuuya's lap, maybe even knock the book out of Chuuya's hands in the process until Chuuya pays attention to him

they rock-paper-scissors most decisions or do a coin flip. (and Dazai's cheated or manipulated the coin flips, so it turns into arm-wrestling)

but also if Dazai's being in a pain in the ass, they'll get into a play-fight on the bed and roll around on it, pillows flying and hitting each other's heads. they keep pinning one another down

but there are also glimpses of soft moments, like Chuuya passing out on the couch after a long day and night, and Dazai walking in to see him fast asleep (and looking peaceful, at that) and he knows there's a time and place to be silly, and knows it's not now as he grabs a blanket and drapes it over Chuuya before dimming the lights

and times where Dazai manages to fall asleep when it's dark and silent enough, and he's gonna wake up with a massive cramp in his neck in the morning from the angle he's sleeping in so Chuuya wedges a pillow behind him (plot twist Dazai was awake, but he still uses a sleeping mask so Chuuya didn't know)

both of them initially having living spaces that are pretty minimalistic because they're not used to living lavishly (or with others) Dazai's okay with a futon on the floor, Chuuya insists on a bed, they bought a couch that Dazai initially never uses in favor of sitting at their low-end coffee table with a cushion on the floor

Dazai's tried to save time on doing laundry by throwing all their clothes together and ruins Chuuya's white dress shirts with bleeding colors

Chuuya's more likely to announce if he bought any kind of furniture, whereas Dazai subtly adds to their space like one day Chuuya comes home to a framed photo of them on the nightstand with no word spoken of it (if Chuuya asks, Dazai initially jokes that it's always been there and he must not have noticed)

Chuuya actually hogs most of the bed and he's very squirmy in bed, he's kicked Dazai in his sleep several times or rolled over Dazai and clung to him, Dazai's the one who curls up into a ball or takes up as little space as possible
