Started: 25.10.2023 Finished: Paranoia: The unwarranted delusional belief that one is being persecuted, harassed, or betrayed by others, occurring as part of a mental condition. It felt like every sound that echoed through the dark hallways was a sign of their impending doom. Their steps seemed to be in sync with each other as their fear seemed to melt away the more time they spent together. When they finally found a quiet place to stop, they both looked at each other with curiosity and apprehension. Dazai hadn't been with a man since his late lover Ren and he was completely aware that he was scared of his own desires. Chuuya meanwhile had been around this block several times before, but never felt this kind of connection with anyone since Souma. The night ended up being the most beautiful yet tragic one, as they were both too scared to express their feelings to each other openly. The paranoia which they both felt of coming out to each other and to the world had kept their feelings confined to one single night.
