that cannot have been a nice kiss. [ is he disappointed he felt nothing? maybe. did he expect to? yes. but he cannot control his emotions like he can control his rational side. and none of this had been dazai's fault, fyodor had impulsively put his mouth on him and so as petulant as he feels, he can't be mad at dazai. not about this anyway.
he's not going to feed dazai's ego by agreeing that, as far as mechanics go, dazai is good at kissing. fyodor thinks. ]
it's not necessary as there are no...mind controlling things you said?
[ it's almost a sigh, but then nothing else is forthcoming. only a sort of melancholic silence.
he doesn't think of it as a win, and dazai would understand why if he extrapolated and explained but fyodor supposes it ultimately doesn't matter because he has no intentions of letting dazai touch him again.
the fact the other even wants to is enough to make him feel unsettled. his strongest defense is crime and punishment and to give that up for mere touch.
but fyodor is a man of his word, and so roughly quarter of an hour later there is a knock at dazai's door before the handle twists and fyodor appears. ]
(painkillers are what fill the space of time between the last disappointed message and the appearance of fyodor in his room. it's a little true, what he had said. unlike fyodor, dazai lies, his tongue silver and smart - it's not a win if it didn't have all that they had built beforehand pressed against him, but it is a win that now he knows how it feels like.
unfortunately, that does nothing for his emotions. he's bad at handling them when he's healthy, worse when his mind is clouded by the pain of that accident. either way, he sighs, waving a hand enthusiastically at the other.)
[ if memories make up the sum of a person, what time he spent here and has now forgotten plays a bearing into all his interactions now. however, he doesn't have time to puzzle those, his own emotions have never been confusing for fyodor: they're soft, velvety and sleepy, muted. ]
Ah, you really are a wreck. [ he doesn't look remotely sorry but there is a note of nostalgia present. whether chuuya killed dazai and then sigma killed fyodor— two murders, not a double suicide. would that suffice? ]
I brought you fruit. [ he got a basket of apples. because, he's polite, even if he had come to murder dazai he would've been so polite about it. ]
(it wouldn't suffice. it's not the same, not the same intention, not the love and care that means to be held as you take your last breath. dazai is, at least, happy to see the other, tapping the chair next to him where visitors come to chat.
he never thought this to be a murder attempt.)
Very nice of you. Apples, like one of our little adventures?
[ fyodor did consider it, briefly, because he is after all what he is.
the basket is brought over and placed on a table where dazai can reach it with ease. ] It's always apples with you. Though maybe I should have brought pears and started a new tradition.
[ he paces a little without sitting, content to stand and observe the space. he's making no pretense that he's not spying in on dazai's home. ] Every time we face off, I always nearly kill you, the sight should be familiar to both of us by now.
Or perhaps you should have brought fermented grapes as a side.
(he means wine, but it's not in all seriousness. after all, he shouldn't be drinking, even though he definitely is. no one bats an eye anymore at dazai antics, as it should be, and he smiles as he watches fyodor's never stopping eyes. dazai too would take note of all his surroundings.)
Can you perhaps nearly kill me in a less painful way next time? I'm very tired of being bedridden.
And get accused by Chuuya-san of attempting to murder you? Absolutely not. [ fyodor finished categorizing what is in the room and then sits himself with room enough to make touching difficult unless he gets closer. ]
I thought you might survive the elevator but it would have been better if you hadn't.
Still, you were ready to give up everything to save the Agency. [ a full throb in his chest and he rests his elbows on his knees. ] Someone healed you here, the damage would be more significant otherwise. Am I wrong?
[ thank god fyodor does not know that particular deal lest he starts screeching about dazai's harlotery ways or whatever. ] I don't particularly care if you drink an entire bottle of vodka and break your neck while trying to climb the stairs drunk but I do mind if it is liquor I provided you with. Blame is not something I'm inclined to take here.
[ he rests his chin on the back of his hand, shifting the weight of his gaze on dazai; ] I watched you fall. [ and then, of course, watched him crawl along the corridor before sigma came to confront him. ] I can make a guess based on the speed and depth of your fall.
I think it's cute you think an entire bottle of vodka does anything.
(he's insufferable, he's injured, he'll ignore that last bit - chuuya himself would give dazai booze if it were to help, okay, no one is judging.
he's far from the man, he can't touch, which -- not how he wanted, but it's fine. he can only push fyodor so much before he turns away, which he learned the first time around.)
Perhaps I was healed, perhaps your math is wrong. What's your hypothesis on the former?
You're aware that that is rather concerning, yes? [ but fyodor shakes his head; he's not going to let dazai fish in return, he is certain of what he saw and what he sees now.
what sigma said, what he thought when fyodor looked at his face and the other made the calculations in his head. dazai's specialization is manipulation after all. ]

(a little less, because he can't move so much, but still. normal in intent, at least. if he could fuck a nurse with a bullethole, why can't he drink?
