⚠‼️TW: Death, Suicide‼️⚠

~~

This was it. Atsushi couldn't take it anymore. He was done. The thoughts were now never ending, it seemed.
Day in, day out. All he heard in his head was the headmaster.

'𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨!!'

"N- No.. Go away.. Please.."

'𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦!'

"But.. I want to live.."

'𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦!'

Atsushi ran.

He didn't know what else to do in that situation, so he just ran.
Maybe exhaustion would hit him sooner and he would fall asleep easier.

He ran, not knowing where he was going. He didn't really care, however, it didn't matter where his destination was. As long as he could sleep in the end, he would be happy.

At some point, he unknowingly passed by Dazai's house.

Who would've known that would be the last time he would pass by it..

~~

Seeing a frantic Atsushi run past his window on the road was the last thing Dazai was expecting to see that night. If anything, he would've expected him to run to the door, knowing the boy gets nightmares, but he just completely ignored the man's house.
This obviously worried the brunette.
He immediately put on shoes and a coat, not bothering to change out of pajamas, and started to run in the direction that the boy was going.

'𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳..?'

~~

Atsushi's legs burned, but he continued. The voices didn't stop, so neither did he. He continued to run, not paying attention to where he was going. His ran so fast that he started to trip every so often, scraping his feet up. He payed no mind to it however, or to the small trail of blood he was leaving.

𝘏𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘶𝘯.

He was sure his feet were probably bleeding by now, and his legs felt like they were on fire, but he didn't stop. The voice didn't stop either, it just continued to yell at him in his head. Atsushi turned a corner, entering a building. It was dark, scary. He didn't like it.

He continued to run.

"Hey! Who are you?? Stop!" Atsushi stopped in his tracks. His legs screamed at him as the lactic acid poured through his muscles. Sweat coated his skin. He hesitantly turned his head, not knowing what to expect. Well, certainly a mafia executive was 𝘯𝘰𝘵 who he was expecting.

"I- I'm sorry--"

"You're that weretiger, aren't you?" Chuuya jumped off of the shipping container, walking towards Atsushi. "Y'know.. There's still a bounty on your head.." He smirked. "And I currently have you cornered." He snapped his fingers, and suddenly he and Atsushi were surrounded by a firing squad.

Atsushi was starting to panic, but then the voice came back. And so did an idea. He stood straight, looking Chuuya dead in the eye. "Shoot me." He said, no hesitation.

It made Chuuya's brows furrow, and his feet to step back a bit. "Uh.. Aren't you going to.. Fight back or something?" He asked.

"No. You can have my head. As long as I die." Atsushi's voice sounded dead, it honestly scared Chuuya. Wasn't this kid usually happy?

"Uh.. Well.. Alright." Chuuya collected himself. Standing back, he delivered Atsushi's final fate.

"Shoot."

"ATSUSHI!!"

The boy flinched, expecting pain. A shot sounded, a shout was heard, and then..

Nothing. Calm. And most of all..

No more voices. He finally got the calm he'd always wanted.

Atsushi fell with a smile on his face.

~~

"WHAT DID YOU DO??!" Dazai ran over and tried to get to Atsushi, but was stopped. Chuuya was holding him back. "LET ME GO!! GIVE HIM BACK!!"

"Take him to the back." Chuuya motioned his men towards the body. He held Dazai back as he tried to reach for him. He had to admit, it was sad. He didn't want Dazai involved with this, but this is how things happened. He just had to deal with it.

"Dazai. Do you want to see him again?"

"YES!!" Dazai yelled. "GIVE HIM BACK!!"

"Alright.." Chuuya took a deep breath. Pushing Dazai off of himself, he pulled out his gun. "Goodbye."
