Seeing you wince beneath his hand wasn’t on Dazai’s to-do list for the day when he decided on a whim to hug you from behind.

Dazai had always been a very perspective person, noticing the little things that others would miss. However, he did not take your flinch lightly as he did everything else.

“You okay?” Dazai mumbled against your nape. “I didn’t mean to scare you.” his voice was laced with seemingly genuine concern for your well-being.
