[Her eyebrows quirk. It's not that she's surprised to hear the depth of emotion Chuuya feels for him -- honestly, she's known for a while -- but it's that he was able to admit it to her. She can't help but hum a little doubtfully when he says it's the stupidest thing he's ever done, as if to wordlessly say are you sure? because she can imagine Chuuya doing a lot of dumb things.
But, still. It's a big step for him to admit out loud, even to himself. She's certain of it. If he ever has to make a choice between Dazai and the Mafia... it kind of sounds like he's already made it.]
What's the worst part?
[She doesn't kick him this time, but just leans against him.]
[That laugh trails off into something slightly hysterical, slightly infuriated. Kotone should probably strap in, because--]
He loves me, too.
[How... is that the worst part? Well--] Told me himself... when we were fucking fifteen and literally just met. He's been saying all this time he'd already told me how he feels, and it was all the way back then!!! Any sane person would think he was being a dipshit and joking!!!
[Dazai....] I swear, he can't say anything like a normal person!!! I tried to kill him! I didn't even know what love was back then and the fucker just....! Ugh!!!
[He angrily chews his pizza crust flopping back against the counter like a sulky teen himself.] Just... who even does that!!!
[She somehow manages not to laugh, even though Chuuya is reminding her of her high school friends right now. Honestly, it's kind of good for him to act like that, she thinks! It's not like he got the chance when he was younger!
As stupid as it sounds on the surface, she gets it, though. It's scary to have these kinds of sudden realizations, even if Chuuya's reaction is admittedly super funny.]
He's probably the only person who can be a dipshit, joking, and totally serious, all at the same time! [she points out with a little laugh, nudging his shoulder. C'mon, buddy, your frustration is valid, even if it's hilarious.]

You'll get him back somehow, I'm sure.
