An AU where Dazai finds Chuuya when they're both young!
In this world abilities exist, they can be developed or you can be born with them. Dazai is one of these people that were born with an ability, he was born with nullification. He can nullify any ability. He was also born into a somewhat neglectful home. From an early age, Dazai completely shut out his emotions. His parents, and everyone he came across said he had the eyes of the devil. He was dead in a way that nothing could fix. Or at least that's what he thought. He ran away when he was 7 and spent a few years breaking into homes, stealing, and surviving on his own. He didn't see any value in living. He'd thought about killing himself several times, and one day he finally decided he wanted to do it. However that's the same day a huge explosion shot through the town, having nothing to lose Dazai decided to see what it was. What Dazai came across would change his life forever.
Dazai is manipulative and doesn't have a good understanding of why life is important, nor why it matters so much. He doesn't think of himself as human and is fine with that. He's teasing and not good with social norms, Dazai is insanely smart though. He knows how to pick locks and use what he has to get what he wants. Which is concerning behavior for a 12 yr old. Dazai is also a bit underweight for his age and he's pretty. Though his unsettling gaze turns people away. Dazai is currently 12.
Dazai was about to kill himself.
He really just didn't see a value in living. Not really.
Sure, he was 12. He had a whole life ahead of him or whatever the adults said– but what was there to live for?
He walked mindlessly through the town, he'd thought about doing this several times before but always called it off.
He wouldn't this time.
Or so he thought.
Dazai suddenly heard a loud noise, it sounded like someone dropped an atomic bomb. His head snapped to the giant cloud of smoke growing in the air, he couldn't deny he was extremely curious.
He made his way over without a second thought.
Once Dazai reached the giant crater that had been made he saw the place completely destroyed.
There seemed to be no one in sight, well not yet.
Dazai walked around the crater until he spotted someone in the middle. They looked small and they were crouched on their knees. They had fiery ginger hair that Dazai could clearly make out from this far.
He walked closer.
Guest growled at the strange boy coming his way, he backed up quickly.
He emitted a red aura, the rocks around him quickly shooting up.
Dazai watched the ability with a bit of fascination. Gravity manipulation. Pretty, dangerous, useful.
A rock flew towards Dazai but he nullified the gravity ability with a simple poke.
He bent down towards the small boy.
Guest growled at him again, scooting back farther. His ability had been dismantled for a hot minute, he had nothing now.
I suppose that's a no.
Dazai extended a hand, looking at the boy with interest.
You can come with me, I won't hurt you.
