['Next time,' Bedivere said, and Dazai became very preoccupied with feeling out the sheets on his side of the bed, fluffing his pillow, that sort of thing.

Sexual encounters, strictly speaking, weren't necessarily tied to things like love and affection. Never mind that Bedivere, romantic that he was, might be inclined to link those two anyway, but Dazai's bad habit of finding the worst case scenario meant that he never really entertained this possibility.]

[Because the other thing his mind had zoomed in on was Bedivere's devotion to duty. Dazai didn't think the knight would be inclined to having sex for pure leisure. If he was wrong, of course, Bedivere was more than welcome to correct the mistaken assumption.]
