"Are you ever going to stop obsessing over those stupid books? You're being boring!"

Dazai complained as he leaned over your shoulder, peering disinterestedly at the array of textbooks spread out before you.

Academic validation was all you valued, really. In your mind there was no future without good grades, no actual life without an outstanding resume and a school file to boast about.

Dazai absolutely despised it.

And he was equal parts entirely fed up with your neglect of his entertainment, equal parts concerned for your seemingly tireless working.

"C'mon, we should go to that new boba shop around the corner! You need a break, and you're boring me. I wanna do something fun for once." Dazai whined, reaching over in an attempt to close your books.
