2, 3, 7, 8, and 9 for the domestic meme w dazai?

Yay an ask! Bless you anon ❤ (That would be this meme!)

2. Who sleeps in and who cooks breakfast?

We take turns! Usually Dazai’s uber-tired (cough LAZY cough) and I wake up uncontrollably at the crack of seven so he usually wakes up to an empty right side of the bed and the smell of pancakes! (Cue him whining that I left him all alone! And cue me feeling super bad, but I have to feed him don’t I…)
But I overwork myself during the day, so sometimes I just can’t get up… Dazai’s the sweetest on those mornings and brings me breakfast in bed ;w; always far more grand than the little piece of toast that I make for myself aslfdkj..
The best mornings are the ones where we’re BOTH tired as all heck. That’s the good life – staying in bed, cuddling all morning, and skipping breakfast. Oops! 

3. Who is the pickier eater?

I’d say Dazai…? It’s a little hard to convince him to try something new (but he’ll eat anything I make, even if it’s burnt, haha!) so he pouts and whines a lot when I debate going to a different restaurant than usual. At the same time, even if I’m open to new foods, if I tried it and didn’t like it, then I will never eat it. Dazai has to be careful to never order anything with eggplant or honey in it. Or both, ew! (He’ll eat anything I don’t want to though bless his hecking heart,) 

7. How do you + your f/o(s) deal with appliances that need fixing?

We whack it! Kicking the television and punching the toaster always fixes it if you do it right (if you do it wrong, it makes it worse, natch.) Real talk though Dazai’s super handy with tools… I’m not bad myself but I’m rrreally better with computers and not *pokes the fridge anxiously* those things. If worse comes to worse, Dazai’s always okay with getting a new one – it’s good that he’s not stingy but it makes me worry he’ll drive us broke!

8. Do you argue over interior decoration choices?

It definitely seems like we would because I’m very… Into things that are pink and fluffy, kawaii lolita and that sort of thing, and I always thought Dazai would not be into that? But well… Dazai spent a lot of time in a cold gray bedroom that he says was more like a cell. And he just, wasn’t really allowed to be human for a long time, so he wasn’t really allowed have tastes of his own either.
So I think because of that he usually just goes along with whatever I want to do, and I don’t like that at all… I always have to nudge him and remind him to tell me what he wants – I’m glad we figured out he has a taste for the antique! But I’m also glad he doesn’t mind my taste in aesthetic either ;3;

9. Who takes more pictures?

MEEEEE me of COURSE. I’m the one with the photo-based ability and the extra thicc scrapbook so it’s obviously me who always whips out her Polaroid camera or Panasonic camera or just the camera on my flip phone to take a shot! It’s not that Dazai doesn’t take pictures at all (he steals my camera all the time to sneak pics of me when I’m not looking) but. I’m the picture princess that’s just That

Hey, Sleepless Anon-chan here. whilst sleeplessly traipsing your blog, I noticed your birthday was 1st April and wanted to wish you a Happy belated birthday!! Do you mind sharing what is the best present your beloved has ever given you? Xoxo

It’s you!! The sleepless pal! (please sleep omg but thank u for always checking my blog out) That was indeed my birthday and thank you for the late wishes!! The best present he’s ever given me was his love, haha! Jokes aside I really love the plushies he gets me, my favorite is the unicorn. And he gets me so many sparkly mirrors…

Hey Sara, now I’m curious! Why did Dazai shout “Barbie” when you two first met?

Hello anon-chan, and oh! Did Dazai mention that while he was here…? 

Sara-chaaan! Let me answer it! It’s the question I’ve wanted to get!

It’s the question I’ve wanted to answer all day!

It’s for meeee-

NO! It has my name in it and it’s my blog again! I’m answering it…

I’ve gotta be honest, I actually did not know for a long time why he said that, and I never really was sure he was calling me that until he confirmed it himself (and after it became one of his nicknames for me…)

Because I don’t really think I look like Barbie? We have the same body type sure, kinda too skinny… A little on the taller side. But when most people think Barbie, they think classic Barbie… They think Higuchi! Higuchi looks like Barbie. She’s light-skinned, bright-eyed, and has blonde hair tied back in a bun, just like Barbie does. I don’t look like Barbie, I have dark skin and hair and eyes.

Not to Dazai though…

But that’s why when I walked into the Uzumaki Cafe with my parents, too scared of them to look up or open my mouth, needless to say I was surprised to heck and back when suddenly there’s a shout of “BARBIE?!” 

I looked up for a split second, just a moment.

And there he was…

The most beautiful man I had ever seen, with such a look of shock on his face. I looked away just as quick because there was no way he could mean me, he must’ve been talking to one of the waitresses… But when I snuck another glance at him, he winked at me.

I definitely didn’t know I’d end up marrying him at the time! And even after I did marry him, I still didn’t know why he said that. That was my first impression of him, and it was his first impression of me… I was going to ask him about it, but there was some fun speculating it by myself for a while, so I never did. Then he told me one day all on his own!

So it turns out, there was this little girl in the place he used to work at before the Agency? (Of course I know where that place was, but… I don’t really think Dazai likes either of us saying it aloud too often.) This little girl was his boss’ daughter or something, and Dazai had been there since he was thirteen or fourteen, so in between, ah, work, sometimes he’d end up babysitting or playing with her. She was pretty spoiled, so she always had her way! If she wanted Dazai to play with her, then the boss would prioritize that over everything else, or so Dazai says.

And like any little girl (or any girl who wasn’t me, haha! I wasn’t allowed to have Barbies when I was small) she had lots and lots of Barbies. And with most little girls who like playing with Barbies, they like Barbies who look like themselves? Since this little girl was blonde, Barbies who looked like her were easy to come by, so all her dolls were blonde just like her. All but one…

Dazai said there was just one Barbie, who had brown hair. Brown wavy hair and brown eyes, and tan skin, too. She wore a pink dress, and she had a teeny tiara, because she was a princess doll. And that little girl had never even taken her out of the box, probably because she didn’t look like her. (And Dazai said she didn’t have friends for her to think it looked like one of them.)

Figuring that the little girl wouldn’t notice – and she didn’t – he just. Took it. Just took the doll, box and all, for no reason. I couldn’t help but be upset that he stole a little girl’s doll, of all things, but Dazai said he had no choice. He felt… Bad? That the Barbie that he thought was so pretty and innocent was just trapped in there and never played with. So he hid it somewhere secret, and he was, you know, a teenage boy. He didn’t play with dolls and he didn’t have time to anyways, but when things got rough… He’d just bring out Barbie and stare at her a while.

Toys are still wonderful things, to Dazai – he can’t get enough of my plushies, that’s for sure! I don’t think he’s ever really had any. I didn’t have a lot, either, most of my things would get taken away… I don’t know much about his childhood, though, I can’t say it’s the same as mine. We’re kind of in the same boat though, thinking children’s toys are just little miracles that you can buy.

So he had a Barbie, as embarrassed as he looked to admit it. And that Barbie didn’t look like Higuchi-Barbie (as much as I love Higuchi-Barbies, I’d do anything to have one). It was his own Barbie, and it was the one thing that was pretty and innocent and happy and simple, and gave Dazai all sorts of nice feelings in the world he was in at the time.

Then one day, she was gone.

I think he thinks somebody took her. I think he thinks that one of his superiors found out, because they couldn’t let him be human for even a moment. I think he’s right. But he was never sure. I don’t think there’s a way he’ll ever be.

But he got Barbie back. 

Instead of Higuchi-Barbie…
It was Sara-Barbie. That’s me!

Hewwo!! I was wondering, since Sara-chan went out of Yokohama again, how long does your goodbyes take? :o

Hewwo to you as well! Sara doesn’t leave the city often, but when she does it’s ah, difficult… There’s at least half an hour and sometimes a FULL hour of me clinging to her and kissing her face, begging her not to leave! Then when I’ve finally accepted that she’s leaving, she spends a few minutes doting on me as well, telling me that she’s going to miss me (and to not cause any trouble while she’s gone). I’m sure the Agency’s sick of how long it takes by now!

Dazai, do you remember the first date you went on with your wife? what was it like?

I remember it like it was yesterday… I’d confessed my feelings to her a week or two before Valentine’s Day, thanks to Ranpo and his kissing game. I was so so delighted that she loved me in turn that I knew I had to do something for her immediately. So I set up a traipse around Yokohama (not unlike the little adventure Atsushi-kun took Kyouka-chan on while I was being held captive later on)! I bought her a crêpe and won her a plushie and took her on a Ferris wheel ride. She was so entranced by the view of the whole harbor below her, but I was too busy being entranced by the view of my eventual wife!

henlo there dazarooni what’s your favorite date you and sara have been on??-shelby/shelf

Henlo Shelvis! Surely our first date with Yokohama’s iconic Ferris wheel was something to remember, but my favorite? The first time I took her to the beach, the one we got married on later… I’ve never seen her so happy as when she was playing in the water with me, or when we were dancing on the sand together. The way her eyes lit up when I found her a pretty pink shell… Sometimes I really do think she’s a mermaid stuck in a human body, haha – so strange that she can’t swim!

hi dazai! what was your first impression of sara when you first met her?

Hi hi! Oh I think everybody in the whole Agency remembers what my first thought upon seeing Sara was – as soon as she and her family entered the Uzumaki Cafe together, I stood up abruptly, nearly choking on my tea, and shouted “BARBIE?!”

I do have a reason for thinking so, but that’s a story for another time…

After collecting myself, I had the original thought that the cutie was mute. She would not speak, but then I noticed how frightened and reserved she was around her parents. When she was finally alone with the President, I leaned against the door (Kunikida scolding me for eavesdropping all the while), and there it was… The beautiful voice of an angel.
