15!dazai is overtaking my brain bc just imagine him taking u to an arcade and trying to win u a plushie at the claw machine bc he noticed u staring at it but failing miserably and he refuses to give up until he gets that plushie
“It’s okay, Dazai, let’s just move on,” you laughed slightly, amused by his determined expression as he failed once again.
“This stupid claw machine is rigged!” He groaned, resting his head on your shoulder with a pout.
Nodding in agreement, you try and tug him away. “Exactly. So let’s move on, ‘kay?”
A small child ran by, the same brown plush design that was flaunted inside the claw machine was grasped in her hands. Dazai lifted his head up to look at you, to which you only sighed. “Her parent probably got it for her, don’t— “
Four more quarters were slotted into the machine that only needs two to play, the lights flickering as its speakers started playing the same grating song.
Seven dollars. He’d already blown seven dollars in quarters on this stupid machine with nothing to show for it, and you were growing bored. “If you’re gonna try and win this plushie for me, I’m gonna try and find one for you.”
He nods dismissively, too focused on trying to line up the dangling claw. The sight makes you smile: it was always nice to see him act his age, too used to the serious Dazai that ruled by Mori’s side. Sliding 4 quarters from his pocket, you vanished to the other side of the row of machines. Hm… what would he like…
“WHA— Hey!” Dazai called your name in shock, and you quickly rushed back to his side. “Look! Look look look!” He was jumping up and down as he finally made it, staring up at the big CONGRATULATIONS! flashing on the display on top of the machine.
You stood in shock. Less than two seconds is how long you must’ve been away from him! How did he..?
Holding the stuffed deer plush he pushed into your hands, you gave him a celebratory kiss on the cheek. “You did it!”
Dazai puffed his chest out confidently, hands on his hips. “Yep! Guess you were just bad luck.”
You deadpanned before hitting him over the head with the plush. “I take my kiss back!” You huff, which only causes Dazai to laugh.
“It’s too late! I got a kiss!” He starts chanting, running away as you chase him through the aisles of the arcade.
you two got kicked out of the arcade after running into a bunch of things. mori had to pay to replace a machine and he was pissed 😋
