(hopefully akira doesn't have a hand-kink, because dazai has elegant, long, and slender fingers. they tap, tap tap tap, against the other's forearm.)
Nope! It does reduce the amount of touching I tend to get, but it makes me, ah, indispensable. I have never met anyone who had a similar ability whatsoever.
[You know him so fucking well, because yeah, he's admiring those slim fingers and idly skimming two of his own to the bone of his wrist.] You have pretty hands.
(for a moment, he can only blink because this has nothing to do with 'no longer human', and the next moment, he laughs. his spare hand moves on top of the other's, simply for comparison sake.)
Ah, thank you! My fingertips are becoming calloused, I'm learning the violin.
Yeah? I sucked at playing when I was a kid, my parents always wanted me to.
[It's weird to not be able to feel Arsène, but now that he knows it's just Dazai's ability and he's not completely gone, it's easier to adjust to. He draws idle patterns on Dazai's skin with the end of his fingernail.] Sorry, I like hands. They're important, you know?
[His eyes crinkle a little at the corners with a smile, and he shakes his head.] Goro would kill me. Again.
[He drums his fingers over the back of Dazai's wrist.] Mmn. [He doesn't elaborate, but he does keep drawing idle little patterns with his fingertips and fingernails, alternating sensations.]
(they feel nice, and dazai will too have fingers dance on akira's touch, eyes closed, allowing this display of comfort.)
You see, not everyone hates 'No Longer Human'. To some, it calms the storm that their abilities cast within, brings tranquility and a sense of safety. It's the case for Chuuya himself. For others, it feels utterly frightening. How is it for you as it stands?
I don't hate it, [He offers quietly.] Now that I know it's not forever, I don't mind the quiet. [And he's a tactile little fucker, so even if he did he'd probably push through it anyway.]
I can't particularly imagine how it feels to have a more talkative ability, after all! What you feel when you touch me is simply how I myself feel, I suppose? The ability users where I am from are rather attached to their abilities.

(and then y'all judge me for having dazai think akira is cute, look at this.
his eyes close, almost like a kitty who's getting pets, and he sighs.)
Are they? It doesn't bother me at all.
