You're a good kid. You don't get to forget that and let your anxiety take over, alright?
(is he not giving permission, putting himself in a position of mentor once again, or is he simply motivating? who exactly knows. dazai's hand comes to rid scott's cheeks of any salty water that might still be drying, and he smiles.)
I'm also going to take care of you, so you don't need to worry so much.

[Oh... a genuine smile. She mirrors it with one of her own, some of the brightness fading away to something a little softer and more genuine herself.
Then she closes her eyes and groans loudly, intentionally breaking the moment with something a little sillier.]
I meant it, though! Serious conversations are exhausting. Can I take a nap?
[I take nap right here dot gif]

[Does he have anxiety?? Oh god, was that his anxiety getting out of control?? Scott didn't know he could get like that, but the teen slowly nods, managing not to spiral in front of Dazai again. He's got things handled now. 100%.
Doesn't stop a few more tears from slipping from his eyes when Dazai finishes speaking, just overwhelmed and comforted by his words. Scott tries to snort, almost play it off, but he's not fooling anyone, not with the sheer relief coming from him along with a more genuine smile.]
You sure I shouldn't be worried about that? [Letting Dazai take care of him... but he's okay with that.]

(ay, kiddo, he's actually taking his handkerchief to give him. it's fine to cry -- like dazai said, it's fine to make any expression he wants to make. those are his feelings, after all, and all he can do is be there for them.)
Ah, probably not. Kotone-chan is breathing, and I take care of her often, down to the point we braid her hair and do her nails, and all that. You'll be fine. I can assure that.

They are seriously exhausting.
[He honestly feels pretty tired himself, because yeah, she's right. Serious conversations are A Lot, not to mention that he's been stressed about other things this past week and it's only now that he's started to unclench. Scott feels his eyes shut behind his shades, not moving from his spot on the bed as he answers her offhandedly.]
That's what beds are for, right?

and you are not, loser!
where's my treat for being amazing at nullifying abilities so no one dies!!!!!

[He takes the offered handkerchief and wipes his eyes with it. Ugh, they're starting to sting a little from all the crying he did and that's a little embarrassing, but he also feels a whole lot better. Kind of weird to have them hurt from something other than his optic beams too.]
You're not painting my nails. [Scott retorts with a small smirk, but he's pretty much fully accepted Dazai's care and help. Looks like he's stuck with another teenager for good now--]

[For a moment, there's a bright sparkle in her eye as if she might make a joke about things beds are used for, but- she refrains and just rolls over onto her side to pillow her head more comfortably on his shoulder.]
Yeah.
[She just wants to be close to another person for a little longer. Someone who won't be angry at her, or disappointed, or upset -- just a friend.]
Yeah.

[ur a loser!!
Honestly, Scott's about ready to end the feed or give some stupid excuse, but he's suddenly struck by an idea, something that he can actually give Dazai. Not that the asshole should get shit because he whined hard enough, but... he's helped him out. A lot. The teenager hasn't forgotten those times.
Also he sort of... means uh, something to scott. BLARGH.]
Wait another day, alright? I'll have something then.

[Thank you for sparing him...
Scott's not really thinking about the fact that Kotone may fall asleep next to him, mostly because he's already nodding off. Look, he's super comfortable and he likes her and if she's comfortable too... then cool. Yeah. He probably had a train of thought somewhere there, but it's definitely gone now, with his breaths evening out into a quiet slumber.]

[For as energetic as she tends to be during the day, she can crash at a moment's notice -- like a puppy or a toddler that wears themselves out with constant activity. It's still early enough in the afternoon that she's not afflicted by the same bone-deep weariness she's felt since the final battle with Nyx, that only comes on at night, but it's warm and comfortable here like this; with some of her stress easing, she can finally relax.
Curling just closer against his side, she tucks her head into his shoulder and closes her eyes with a soft exhale. The sound of his breathing evening out and the gentle rise and fall of his chest is enough to lull her into her own sleep. She at least has enough decorum to keep her hands to herself, wedged into her own chest instead of draped across his, but it's not a light doze like napping in class; these days, when she takes a nap, she is out. Good luck rousing her from this one, Scott.]

[He doesn't know how long it's been before Scott finds himself rousing from his light nap, probably not long, but he still feels a little groggy and out of it as his eyes open to his shielded world of red. Yeah, that's always something he has to adjust to, even now, because he still dreams in color and this is a reminder that everything is not the same to him. It kind of sucks--]
Holy shit--
[The angsty teen monologue is broken up when his brain finally registers that there's a girl-- Kotone sleeping right next to him and a startled yelp escapes him as he abruptly jerks from her and crashes to the floor in an undignified heap. Later, a small part of him will groan at him for wasting the opportunity and being a general loser for not enjoying the moment longer, but that part isn't in charge now! It hasn't woken up, or just simply stomped on by his initial shock and embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Bunny Scott is lying on the bed still, judging him from on top.]

nope! i'm coming home from a date.
what's the plan?
what's the plan?
[A part of him wants to ask, but no. He feels like he'll regret it.
And okay, he actually got this asshole something, just like he said he would. Dazai is definitely expecting it by now. So, why is it so hard to say he got a stupid present for him??]
I got you your dumb gift.
[Why can't text accurately display his sullenness!!]

[She doesn't sleep next to other people often enough to really be used to it, but she is very good at falling asleep just about anywhere. Scott's shoulder is loads more comfortable than precariously balancing her head on her hand in class was, so honestly, she could have stayed there longer if there wasn't a sudden loud crash!]
Huh?!
[She bolts upright with a sudden jolt of adrenaline, looking around and for a moment not totally sure where she is. This isn't the farmhouse...? Akira's room? No, wait, that's Bunny Scott, which means-
What is he doing down there. She peeks over the side of the bed, not sure if she should laugh or be concerned.]
Uh... are you okay?

Yeah, fine. I'll meet you in ten.
[True to his word, Scott walks into Dazai's bar about ten minutes after their conversation. It seems that he's holding a folded piece of clothing close to his chest as he looks around for the mafioso, almost looking a little nervous.]
