BSD ~ Waffles!! ~ Shin soukoku & Soukoku

13. ~ Satan must be happy, wanna meet him?

"I'll follow you everywhere." Whispered a short one.

"Everywhere? I doubt so." The taller one said with a solemn look. The shorter one could only frown, looking down to his hand that was intertwined with the others. There was this complexity in his eyes, and a grip that tightened. Those words felt more meaningful than thought to be.

"Why are there strawberries sprouting from your arms?" The shorter one asked curiously, yet his eyes, desolate and knowing. The other opened his mouth, suddenly shaking. It could have been the cool breeze that swept by or the fear of his own reality falling upon him. It was only for a moment, really quite short-lived. And...For the most part of that moment, it was quiet. Besides the waves coming by ever so slightly, almost reaching their small feet that could only take them so far...

The tall boy pursed his lips into a smile as he tilted his head.

"They aren't strawberries, they're flowers." He muttered weakly.

Weak

Day's tend to pass by so fast now.

It's more so, eagerly waiting for the trip to the point where you find yourself stress packing everything you own. Even something you wouldn't need to bring, like that stupid Rem figurine you got at Taito station. Maybe that sounds a little bit overboard, but when you realize just what you pack, you'd understand.

There is also anxiety. This horrid monster that lives in the back of your head whispering "What if the plane crashes?" "What if you get lost?" "What if you get abducted by aliens?"

And yeah, mostly they don't make sense. But it feels rational so you freak out and stress pack even more. Then you find yourself stress eating and watching the british total wipeout because you needed to distract yourself--Of course you laugh a bit but then you realize "Oh fuck, I'm going to London in two days" And the anxiety is like "Heyy" And you have a mental breakdown.

Luckily, unlike most of you, when the two in the dorm were having these mental breakdowns, they had each other to comfort them. But it just goes on for you, until you're at the point where you're crying in your closet and hugging your My melody plush and talking about your stress to them--.

But we won't get into that.

Because in the perfect world everything is happy and sugar in this life.

And Atsushi totally did not have a mental breakdown in the bathroom at 2am because of being unable to sleep--

"You there? You're zoning out." A brunet's voice spoke, his hand waving in front of the silver haired males eyes before they regained focus.

"Ah! I am--Sorry!" Atsushi quickly apologized. The two had been working together for a while now on homework during the summer break. It was similar since Atsushi's was animal psychology and Dazai himself was studying psychology. It was perfect timing as well since Chuuya and Akutagawa were out on a 'secret mission' of some sort.

This studying has become...Awfully awkward. They were friends of course, and got along before, but for some reason now it felt like they were worlds apart. Well, at least for Atsushi. Dazai seemed to be just vibing as he ate his chips.

"Wouldn't anime psychology be completely different from human psychology?" Dazai asked, playing with his pen like an idiot as he tried to balance it on his nose.
