Jinko started screaming in his sleep, but it wasn't normal screams. They sounded almost..beast like

I quickly ran to him and saw the way his face were scrunched up in pain something felt very off..

I shaked his small body "WERETIGER!" He didnt move but just screamed louder and louder

Chuuya quickly went outside to call Mori probably.

Finally he opened his eyes but they were pure black and looked like they were about to burst with tears

Dazai quickly ran next to Atsushi but Atsushi growled at him

"OI! JINKO!" I gripped his shoulders and tried shaking him again, the screams sounded human-like again

"WERETIGER!"

Finally, he woke up.

He was frozen for a few moments and than talked "w-what? Why a-are you here?!"

I knew he tried sounding intimidating
But his voice.. his entire body was shaking.

He gripped my wrists, and just froze.

"Atsushi" Dazai-san said, putting his hand on Atsushi's shoulder.

"D-Dazai-san?! What are you doing in my house? Why is Akutagawa here? Where is Kyouka-chan?"

Suddenly he let out a silent scream.

Tears gathered in his eyes, I could see them clearly  He gritted his teeth and try to blink the tears away

"Jinko! Get yourself together!" I shaked his shoulders. "C...ol..d.." he whispered "i-its... free..zing.." something in me clicked and I just pulled him into my chest

"Tell us whats going on Jinko" I whispered softly into his ear "I-I dont...know..I-I dont know what's g-going on..."

I frowned, holding his small body tightly while Dazai released Atsushi's shoulders and touched his back

He screamed

Dazai activated no longer human and the small boy sank into my chest, no longer trying to push me away

His body felt cold

"Atsushi?" Dazai asked once
"Weretiger?" I asked him but he said noting

"Atsushi? Atsushi!" Dazai's voice finally made him snap back to reality "w-wha-?" He muttered

"Atsushi, what happened?" Dazai asked

"I dont know.." he whispered, slowly pushing me away with shaky hands

"I just.. felt this pain going through my body all at once and.. I dont know.. I cant remember anything.." he mumbled

Dazai sighed and got up from his squatting position

I looked back at Atsushi, catching his eyes widen "Daz- AH!" He was cut off by a scream

"Why are you doing this?! Who are you?!" Atsushi's screamed

Suddenly he jumped onto me, hands around my neck, choking me.

"WERETIGER!"

He snapped out of whatever that was and quickly got up, backing into the wall.

I sat up and rubbed my neck, glaring at him as he slidded down the wall

I cant be mad at him.

I sighed

"What the hell is going on?' I asked

"I'm not sure.. I think someone actived a long term gift on him, they probably wants to get information by making him go crazy." Dazai said

Chuuya entered the apartment again "Mor- what happened?!" He quickly ran to Dazai, seeing the mess

"Dont worry.. its okay" Dazai gave a small smile to Chuuya

"Are you sure?" His voice sounded worried for some reason.

"What did Mori say?" I asked.
Atsushi payed attention to the conversion now even tho he looked still shaken up

"Mori said that its probably the best to come for an agreement with the ADA because it seemed they are after all of us" Chuuya said, glancing at Atsushi

"Whats with him?" He asked "not sure' Dazai said "hey Akutagawa?" Dazai said toward me, making me straighten my back

"I want you and Atsushi to live together for a while. It seems like you are the only one who can shake him awake.

and if things go bad you are the most capable of protecting yourself." I nodded "wait, weretiger was attacked near here I think this place is not safe anymore."

Chuuya hummed "Akutagawa has a point" Dazai sighed and than snapped his fingers "than Atsushi will have to move in with Akutagawa!'

"But what about Gin? We live at the same apartment and it only has two rooms" I said, standing up

"Gin will have to just move to Naomi's with Kyouka! I'm sure she wouldn't mind' Dazai said with a grin

"Okay so its set.. I'll go and talk with Mori about it, Dazai go and talk with Fukuzawa about this, Akutagawa help Atsushi pack"

at the mention of his name Atsushi seemed to flinch

I nodded as Dazai and Chuuya started walking out of the small apartment. It was quiet

I looked at weretiger "get up and pack" I said, sitting down again on the worn out pillow

He stayed quiet, looking at the floor "I'm sorry.." he whispered
