I'm hoping to do this for odazai :*)
— who is the most affectionate?
Oda is more overtly affectionate! Dazai wants to be but gets nervous at times that he won't be welcomed. he hides his insecurity well, though, and it vanishes the longer they're together
but Dazai loves every tiny habit of Oda, and knows them all

— most common argument
the light one is curries (“this is the FOURTH day in a row, Odasaku!”) but they have serious terrible arguments about morals, about their pasts, about the kinds of life they want to live. Oda is not an argumentative man; he only talks back because he cares

— who apologizes first?
when they had just begun dating, Oda was always the person who apologized first; even for little things like knocking into Dazai as they walked past each other. Dazai learnt to apologize to him, *for* him, because Oda values honesty and genuine apologies

— fave nonsexual activity
smoking together (Oda keeps trying to ditch the habit) or staying up late together. they like to kick back in their flat with a couple glasses of whiskey while Dazai reads and Oda writes or sometimes, just talking. they're comfortable together, content

— who drives + who rides shotgun
Dazai is a TERRIBLE driver; Oda prefers to drive so that he can keep an eye on the road and watch out for threats. Dazai gets to be in charge of music. his taste makes Oda roll his eyes, but he's patient enough to try and see what Dazai likes

— who is more likely to carry the other?
Oda carries Dazai! always, everywhere. Dazai loves being held and loves feeling small and cared for and Oda loves the way Dazai fits perfectly in his arms. Dazai starts out afraid that Oda will somehow drop him but a year in he's trusting

— nicknames
Odasaku, of course, which Oda thinks is *adorable*. Oda usually just calls Dazai by his name, or Osamu; Dazai loves both, and he loves the way they sound in Oda's mouth. Oda makes them sound rare and beautiful and precious and it makes Dazai shiver with longing

neither of them are the marrying kind, but if they did they'd both come to a mutual agreement about it.

— who sings along with the radio
Oda. Dazai loves Oda's singing voice and has next to no confidence in his own, though sometimes he'll sing just to annoy Oda. but Oda knows all the songs on the radio and likes to hum or sing in the car and Dazai will never admit to loving it

— who worries most?
they both think the other worries more and that they worry a normal amount. Dazai trusts Oda, but since that one close call years ago he can't stop thinking Oda won't ever come back one day, and Oda has a sharp eye out for which of Dazai's attempts are more

serious. and he never stops *taking* them seriously, though they taper off in frequency as the years pass. Dazai is afraid, somewhere, that when Oda stops worrying about that'll mean he doesn't care about Dazai anymore, but he also hates worrying Oda more than he has to.
— who likes taking selfies more?
Oda got into the habit of taking pictures for the kids' photo album, and when he's sure it won't frighten Dazai away he begins an album just for the two of them. Dazai is averse to it—he hates the sight of himself—but he likes taking pics of Oda

— who likes to playfully tease the other?
Dazai loves teasing Oda, and he likes when Oda teases him back. Oda is rarely annoyed by Dazai's teasing—even though he doesn't look like he's enjoying it, Dazai knows he is by the way he lets it continue

— who knows the other's order?
Dazai likes to get the same thing every time so it's not that hard to remember his order. he's also bizarrely good at guessing what Oda will order (it's a game for him, figuring it out before Oda tells the waiter)...so absolutely, they both know

— who is embarrassed by taking off their clothes in front of the order?
...oh, boy. their first time *together*, Dazai would've had an out-of-body experience if it wasn't for Oda being really good at grounding him. the idea of being naked (being vulnerable) was/is deeply scary

to Dazai, and though he was determined to trust Oda he still often has a hard time with it. he's spent too long feeling monstrous.
Oda has his own scars, and though he isn't quite as self-conscious about them, he has a distinct feeling he's less worthy due to what they represent

— who initiates kisses?
they both do! Dazai will kiss Oda's back and shoulder and arm whenever he passes by, and leans in for kisses when it's just the two of them in a quiet moment (neither of them are very publicly affectionate). Oda will kiss Dazai's neck and wrists, anywhere

that he's been hurt.
they also love making out. they've never been tired by intimacy of that sort—they've both been starved of it for too long—and sometimes they lie in bed and kiss gently for hours, touching and talking until they feel sweet and drunk.

— who reaches for the other's hand first?
when they hold hands in public, it's mostly Oda reaching for Dazai. he has a threat response system in constant overdrive and having Dazai near lessens the urgent press of his ability and reassures him of Dazai's safety.

— who brings an animal they found home?
Oda, honestly. he's always had a thing for strays. they had two kittens and a three-legged dog at one point, but because Dazai is deadly afraid of dogs they gave the dog away

— who holds the umbrella when it's raining?

— who tries to playfully embarrass the other in public?
Dazai, sometimes! he doesn't do it much, though, because Oda hates having attention drawn to himself in a place he can't control and they wouldn't be good together if they couldn't respect each other's issues

— who kills the scary bugs?
Dazai is TERRIFIED of roaches, which means Oda has to Deal With all of them, and Oda in turn is afraid of moths but can't stand the idea of killing them so Dazai must carefully entrap them and let them go without hurting them in any way

Oda. he's always sleepy before lunch, and sometimes he gets up to brush his teeth and give Dazai a little kiss and then goes back to sleep until 2pm. he's a disaster

— who cries during books/movies?
Oda more than Dazai—the one time Dazai cried was when reading a short story Oda wrote for him, for his birthday-because Oda...sees things differently, and experiences them differently. Dazai watches/reads with him, only so that he can talk to Oda

— who says “I love you” first?
they don't really say it that that often—they both already know it. and there are better ways of making that known than saying it. but one night Dazai coaxed Oda to bed ‘because I love you and want you to sleep with me’ and Oda was so shocked at

hearing someone say THAT to HIM that he did come to bed, and ever since then Dazai has treasured Oda's vulnerability and not used that card more than he has to. in a way it's as precious as it is redundant

they don't have family, and their friends knew before they did
