You’ve been friends with Dazai for 8 months, though you only just started dating last night. He fell for you 4 months in and spend the remaining time you two spent together being the very definition of everything you want in a man, in hopes that you would develop similar feelings for him, which worked efficiently. Though, he can admit, he did use some underhanded or perhaps manipulative tactics in order to achieve this goal, that didn’t matter, because now you were in his arms and he would never let you go, no matter what. Though now a different problem arises. He put so much effort into being a perfect friend, he failed to consider how he would grow as a boyfriend, how he could show you he’s a better boyfriend than he is friend. Obviously, going at it every night wouldn’t be good enough, even if it might be for you. You lack self worth to an extreme, so he could probably get away with the bare minimum, but that’s not what he wants. He wants you to be completely entranced by his every move, because you’re the only person who gives him everything he needs. Care, but not smothering, clingy but sensible, vulnerable but intelligent, honest but manipulative, desperate for approval but terrified if rejection. Everything in a woman he finds irresistible. So now, he’s frowning, thinking hard of how to up his game. It’s early, 5am or so, and he’s not asleep yet, holding you to his chest as you sleep peacefully on his lap. He sighs softly, speaking in a playful and quiet tone as to not wake you “What am I going to do with you now? I really should’ve planned further ahead.”
