[laserguy]

This is about me getting you something, isn't it.

[He kind of hoped that Dazai forgot but of course he didn't. Unless. This message wasn't about that and now's brought it up anyway.]

[nullificates]

what else?

[laserguy]

Look, no, I haven't figured something out still.

[Because he sucks at gifts and he asked Kotone, who sort of helped but also.]

I can grab you a drink or something, I guess.

[Isn't it supposed to be the other way around--]

[nullificates]

wow you think im an alcoholic or something you can just dangle alcohol in front of mea

[laserguy]

You act like an alcoholic.

[nullificates]

at least put functional in front of it

ive saved the world a bunch of times i am VERY functional you have to respect that part!!!!!!

[laserguy]

Okay.

Functional alcoholic. Better?

[nullificates]

no im sad now

[laserguy]

No you're not.

[nullificates]

i'm in tears!!!!

[laserguy]

God you're such a loser.

[nullificates]

kiddo

at your age i had probably like 20 girlfriends

pipe down

[laserguy]

No you didn't. You're totally lying.

[...Oh wait, didn't Dazai mention to him before that his crime is literally 'womanizing??' Assuming that he didn't lie back then......]

Ugh, actually, you suck either way.

[nullificates]

chuuya's known me since 15 ask him if you think im lying it made his life a living hell!!!!

in context i guess thats correct

[laserguy]

[It takes Scott a second--

....................

Ew.]

You're really the worst.

[nullificates]

am i? am i really?

[laserguy]

Yeah, ugh.

I don't want to hear about your sex life.

[nullificates]

and you are not, loser!

where's my treat for being amazing at nullifying abilities so no one dies!!!!!

[laserguy]

[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.

[nullificates]

23h and 59min

[laserguy]

Shut up!!

[Scott ends the feed.

But the next day, maybe 21 hours later...]

Hey. Are you busy?

[nullificates]

nope! i'm coming home from a date.

what's the plan?

[laserguy]

[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!!]

[nullificates]

oh!!!!!! WONDERFUL!

shall we meet at my bar?

[laserguy]

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.]
