Even though Dazai mostly finds pleasure in annoying the shit out of Chuuya, the way he approaches him is usually super careful and gentle. The only scene we see Dazai throwing a punch at the executive is in the dungeons, where Chuuya basically called on Dazai to fight him.
Touches fall under the body language category, which makes up around 70% of our interpersonal communication. Facial expressions, eye movements, space, hand gestures, vocal tone and volume all register in the human brain almost immediately—even when a person is not consciously
aware, they have perceived anything.

Dazai is not only touching Chuuya as if he could break like glass, being the completing opposite of the fiery ginger.

Thinking of Dazai& #39;s ability NLH and how it disables other& #39;s abilities must have taken massive effects on Dazai, especially
during his time growing up.
Touching somebody with his ability always active is actually something special to him.

So despite its name, “No longer human” actually reveals the most human parts of the person being affected by it, and this is what Chuuya craves for the most.
It has been a long road from touching Chuuya& #39;s vital points on the neck in order to take him down in a fight towards how he is approaching him in the present story line.
This changed by the time our boys encountered Rimbaud and decided to work togehter in order to take him down. This scene is a landmark for both Dazai and Chuuya, because both boys decided then to give their lives a try https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥" title="Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Herz">
The gesture of interlocking fingers with your palms pressed together is considered a physicalle intimate showing that you crave for a deeper connection for another, which makes the onset of their partnership so perfectly!
Dazai knows that he can feel comfortable around Chuuya and enjoy touches like he can do with no one else.

The first time we see Dazai disabling Corruption he took a grip on Chuuya’s wrist.
Depending on the situation a firm grip on someone’s wrist usually signals comfort
and safety to the receiver as if you would say: “I hold you.”
Dazai’s eyes look calm and totally different from the looks he gave Chuuya over the whole chapter, dropping the childish bickering to be the reassuring safety pin for Chuuya.
Touching someone’s face is also a gesture of intimacy and affection. The face is a vulnerable part of your body and you wouldn’t let yourself be touched in your face by just anyone.
Dazai reaching for Chuuya’s cheek in DA just shows how much he treasures Chuuya’s unbreakable
trust in him. He could have reached for his forearm or wrist, but he reached for Chuuya’s cheek to disable Corruption.

“He used corruption believing in me? How beautiful.”
In fact, touching someone cheek gently is considered an act of deep affection, since we only have these kind of interaction with persons we treasure on a different level as friendship, like with our family or with the person we love.
Important nerves endings in your face, under the skin of your cheeks, around your lips and also under your chin, can give us a comforting feeling when they are caressed by someone we trust, sending these signals directly to your brain.
Letting someone rest in your lap is known as a child-parent position as well. The person, whose head is cradled is allowing him/herself to be vulnerable and wants to feel taken care of. Putting your head on someone& #39;s lap says, "I trust you to be gentle and caring with me."
Since Chuuya didn’t have much of a choice being exhausted after using corruption, Dazai is willingly is assuming the caretaker role here. He lets his hand rest protective over Chuuya& #39;s head. You can argue that he did ist, because he wanted to hold Chibi& #39;s head down & #39;cause of the
mist still lingering around them. But he used to lay his hand protective on his partner& #39;s hair even before back in the PM with no fog around.
Even though many argue, that Dazai is using Chuuya as a mere tool, for me this is evidence enough to say that he holds his Chibi dear on a level much deeper than partner- or friendship https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥" title="Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Herz">
