Soukoku! Dazai POV | Chuuya has a crush on Dazai??
Yokohama at dusk was always crowded, but Chuuya could pick out that ridiculous beige coat in a crowd of thousands.
He had just finished a routine drop-off for the Mafia and was walking down a narrow backstreet near the shopping district when he saw him. Dazai was standing under the awning of a closed bookstore, watching the rain pour down, holding a cheap convenience store umbrella but not bothering to open it. He looked older, different with the Armed Detective Agency, but the sight of him still hit Chuuya like a physical blow to the stomach.
It had been months since they last crossed paths. Chuuya told himself he should just walk away. They were on opposite sides now; Dazai was a traitor, an enemy. But his feet wouldn't listen. His heart, completely betraying his loyalty to the Mafia, did a familiar, painful flip. He still wanted to be near him.
Chuuya stopped a few paces away, his hands buried deep in his coat pockets so Dazai wouldn't see them shaking.
You're going to catch a cold standing out here like an idiot, Chuuya said, his voice cutting through the sound of the rain, deliberately rough and annoyed to hide the sudden rush of emotion.
Dazai turned, and Chuuya braced himself, forcing a glare onto his face even as his pulse raced. What's the matter? Did the Agency kick you out, or are you just finding more ways to be suicidal?
