birthday gifts ...

☆ soukoku - chuya x dazai (16 era) . ☆ dazai remembers chuya's birthday .

— birthdays were never really considered important within the port mafia. of course, that was nothing more than expectation from the most heinous, infamous criminal organization in yokohama.

but when chuya didn't even receive a message or positive word on his special day, it hurt. more than he expected it to.

he had returned to his small lodging after a deadbeat day filled with a whole lot of nothing, flopping face-first onto his unmade bed with an exhale. the entire place was silent, save for the footsteps and muffled voices of others next door and outside.

the teenager jolted in surprise and whipped around to face his door when he heard the knob turn and a key fumble in the padlock. once the door swung open, his eyes sparkled slightly in surprise as he noticed who had entered.

"hey, birthday boy! i brought you some presents!" cheered dazai, the marginally younger teenager bursting into the room with two bags in-hand.

chuya didn't say a word in reply, instead leapt from his bed and wrapped his arms around his partner's neck and squeezed him tightly. burying his face in the brunette's shoulder, he closed his eyes as tears forced their way through and trailed down his pale face.

"hey.." dazai's voice went quiet in concern, as he set the bags aside and held chuya gently by the waist. "what's going on?"

chuya hitched a breath before replying, trying his best to remain coherent.

"you remembered my birthday.." he murmured shakily. "thank you.."

after hearing the other's sorrowful gratitude, dazai's heart broke a little.

"did nobody else remember?" he asked quietly.

chuya shook his head against dazai's shoulder, sniffling.

"nobody even spoke to me. nobody cared," he mumbled, his voice wavering.

"oh, chu.." dazai mumbled, placing a soft kiss to the ginger's crown. "it's okay, i remembered. i would never forget your special day."

"thank you.." chuya whispered, fighting back a sob.

"shh, shh.." dazai hushed the teenager gently, rocking him back and forth as the two stood there in the doorway. the pair were still for a few moments in comfortable silence, until dazai gave a playful ruffle to chuya's ginger locks.

"d'you wanna open your presents, birthday boy?" he asked, smiling. once he saw chuya's shy nod, his smile grew to an excited grin.

"perfect!" he beamed, grabbing the two bags from the floor and dropping them carefully onto chuya's bed, dragging the other in the same direction. once the two had made themselves comfortable, dazai gave chuya the first bag.

"open it, open it, open it!" he giggled excitedly, watching as the teenager retrieved and unwrapped a small box.

within the previously brightly-wrapped box was a silver necklace; its pendant a golden crescent moon.

"i know you like looking at the moon sometimes when it's dark out," dazai grinned. "so now you can look at it all the time."

chuya lifted the necklace out of its case and gazed at it in awe, his bright blue eyes glinting with happiness.

"'samu.." he mumbled. "it's so pretty.."

dazai tilted his head as he smiled.

"d'you wanna put it on?" the brunette asked excitedly, clapping his hands together as he received a little nod from the other.

"okay, okay, here! i'll help!" he reached forward for the necklace, carefully buckling the clasp behind chuya's neck. he watched as the pendant hung from its chain against the ginger's shirt, his own eyes sparkling.

"it looks so nice on you.." he mumbled, before quickly shaking his head. "okay, next one, next one!"

"alright, alright," chuya laughed softly, taking a much larger box out of the second bag. he carefully unwrapped it and gasped quietly in surprise.

dazai practically held his breath as he smiled, his eyes wide with anticipation.

the second gift was a soft teddy bear with plush fur, a bandage wrapped around an eye similar to dazai's own, and a stitched red heart on its chest. chuya held it in his lap, looking at it in surprise.

"look, chu, press the paw," dazai prompted, pointing to the bear's left paw. once chuya did as dazai requested, the stitched heart on the stuffie's chest emitted a soft glow.

"i also know that you don't like going to sleep when it's, y'know, super dark, so i got you that so you can turn the light on when you go to bed," dazai spoke softly now, cherishing the precious moment. "and i added a bandage so it reminds you of me," he added humorously.

chuya exhaled a quiet laugh, hugging the bear close to his chest.

"thank you, 'samu.. i love it," he mumbled. "it's soft and cuddly."

"just like you, then," dazai giggled, leaning forward to peck chuya's nose affectionately. "i hope this made your birthday a little better."

chuya nodded quickly, returning dazai's affectionate gesture before pulling the brunette to lie beside him on his bed.

"happy birthday, chu," dazai murmured, smiling. "i love you."

"i love you too, 'samu," chuya returned, cuddling his partner and nestling his head in the crook of his neck. "thank you for making my birthday special."

"a special birthday for a special boy," dazai whispered.
