Day 2 - Drinks
Whiskey, in Dazai's opinion, was the best type of alcohol.
It wasn't the one he drank the most (that was Sake), but it was his favourite.
He was, however, willing to buy and drink red wine if that was what Chuuya so desired.
Dazai would do a lot of things for Chuuya. And likewise, Chuuya would do a lot of things for Dazai.
Neither would actually tell each other this of course. That would destroy their image of hating each other.
Which probably already got destroyed when they started dating, but still. They liked to keep up the image anyway.
The Armed Detective Agency was constantly confused about the two's dynamic. They didn't really understand Soukoku, not in the way the Port Mafia did. Did Dazai and Chuuya hate each other? Love each other?
The answer was both of course. Dazai was a bastard, and Chuuya was short (yes, this is an insult), but they were also each other's partner. Had been for 7 years, although it had only become a romantic partnership recently.
That didn't mean there wasn't plenty of pining before that, however.
But that's besides the point. The point is, instead of his usual order of Sake or Whiskey (depending on the situation), Dazai was ordering wine. Two glasses of very expensive red wine.
Because Dazai and Chuuya were on a date. And Dazai would be an awful boyfriend if he didn't order Chuuya a glass of ridiculously expensive red wine.
(The ADA all collectively died when they first saw Dazai buy something for Chuuya. Kunikida nearly exploded with all the rage of the man who had been the victim of Dazai's theiving habits.)
Dazai and Chuuya were on a date, or at least they would be, if Chuuya actually planned on arriving any time soon.
Dazai was getting bored waiting, and a bored Dazai was never a good thing.
But oh, speak of the devil. Dazai had spotted a head of bright orange hair in the crowd, adorned with the ever recognisable hat that Chuuya always sported.
As Chuuya approached the table, Dazai called out to him.
"You're late," he pouted.
Chuuya tiredly rubbed the bridge of his nose with a gloved hand.
"I'm 10 minutes early, asshole. Why'd you get here so quickly."
"Because~ I can't let the Slug beat me!"
"Oh my god."
Not even 2 minutes in and Chuuya was already done with this bastard.
So of course, the next expected course of action would be to walk back out the door.
Chuuya sat down.
A minute later, and a waitress arrived, two glasses of red wine on her serving tray.
Chuuya took a sip, Dazai not moving towards his own glass, only staring at him as he tasted the wine.
(To anyone else, it would be quite the concerning scene, as Dazai's stare was quite uncanny, but Chuuya was used to it by then. Oh the perks of knowing Dazai Osamu for seven years.)
"Is this... a Domaine Leroy Richebourg?"
Dazai hummed in confirmation.
Chuuya paused for a few seconds.
"...Thank you."
The grin that appeared on Dazai's face washed away any lingering negativity Chuuya still felt from their previous interaction - although to be perfectly honest, Chuuya had already forgiven him once he tasted the wine. (What? Good wine is good wine.)
Dazai, now having received approval, took the first sip of his own drink, and although Dazai would always prefer Whiskey, he had to admit it:
Chuuya had great taste in wine.

I know nothing about wine, bear with me guys 😭 I went down a mini French red wine rabbit hole and I learnt nothing except that wine can be HELLA EXPENSIVE
Also we're gonna ignore how this is even later than yesterday's submission 😭 (But still, totally not late because it's still the 2nd in America!!!)
