Chuuya squirmed and winced in his sleeping state, currently hating his brain for everything he was feeling at that moment.

Another Nightmare.

They seemed to be very frequent nowadays, taking place almost every night, they used to only occur after corruption, but Chuuya hadn’t used that in a long time, scared he’d lose control.

But now, Arahabaki seemed pissed off, and made its way into Chuuya’s head. Chuuya was good at being quiet when these nights took place, but one has a breaking point. And Chuuya was now freely moving around, beads of sweat forming on his forehead whilst he let out sounds of discomfort.

Dazai and Chuuya shared rooms, because even though they had their own apartments, they had to stay here to go on a mission in the morning. This was just to make it easier.

Dazai, who usually slept easily, woke up from the sounds coming from Chuuya’s bed and assumed his ability was acting up again, slowly starting to get up.

Well, he was partly correct.

Partly.

Chuuya’s body was glowing a faint red and Dazai held his cold hand gently, disabling his ability but kept a firm grip on his hand until his heartbeat and breathing went back to normal, like he usually did.

But that didn’t happen.

Chuuya turned to his side, bringing his knees up to his torso, hugging them and trying to get as much comfort as he could, and whimpered slightly, fear etched into his delicate features.

And at that point, Dazai knew something was wrong. Dazai and Chuuya had their fights and arguments, but it doesn’t mean Dazai didn’t care for the boy, he wasn’t that heartless and(even though he’ll never admit it) he held a soft spot for Chuuya.

So seeing him like this made him slightly panicked, but he tried to stay calm, prying, with difficulty, Chuuya’s arms off his thighs, since they started to bleed at the pressure.

Dazai climbed into the bed and adjusted it so that Chuuya was sitting on his lap, facing him.

Chuuya held onto Dazai for dear life, and trembled. Dazai wrapped his fingers around his Chibi's body, embracing him. Chuuya’s small frame was shaking, he broke into sobs, choking back tears.

Dazai raked his hands through his fiery locks, calming him down slightly.

“Chuuya?” He asked cautiously and in a slow noise, in order to not scare him or anything.

He called out his name a few times, waking him up after a while. Chuuya seemed a bit dazed and his azure orbs were unfocused and distant, as if he was still in that twisted situation his brain somehow made.

Dazai got him a glass of water, taking breaks in between so Chuuya breathed small breaths and  wouldn’t choke

After that, Dazai got into bed with him, and spinner his shaking body. Dazai vowed to himself not to tease him or bring this incident up.

Ever.

After all, Chuuya showed him a vulnerable side to him, for someone like him to see that, he felt special, somehow.
