"I left you for a reason."[Soukoku]

Part 3

Dazai's POV

"Oh you've got to be kidding me." Tachihara mumbled making me question him and look over to where he was staring towards. I saw a tall figure with shoulder length black hair. He was talking to Chuuya but I don't think they were talking.. More or less Chuuya yelling at him. I heard a groan and looked over at Tachihara who was shaking his head with his eyes closed. "Who's that? He must be someone Chuuya hates a lot because even Chuuya doesn't yell at me like that." I snickered at the height difference but I stopped laughing when I earned a glare from Tachihara. "That's Chuuya's Ex, the one I was just talking about. His names Fyodor Dostoevsky." My eyes widened, that name.. I recognize it. I was dragged out of my thoughts hearing this 'Fyodor' yell back at Chuuya grabbing his wrist in the process. I stood up, Tachihara did as well at the sudden grab. We were gonna go help Chuuya but Chuuya seemed like he didn't need help after he grabbed Fyodor's arm and flipped him onto the ground. "Don't touch me bastard!" Chuuya yelled out staring at the black haired who was groaning in pain. Chuuya noticed everyone was staring at him then signaled Tachihara and I to follow him back to car ignoring the one on the floor. I took on more glance at Fyodor as he stood up. His name definitely rings a bell. The three of us just walked back to Chuuya's car. There was just silence in the car, we ended stopping by a small cafe which happens to be at my work place.
Oh how this is going to be fun.
Even when we entered Chuuya stayed silent, how odd for that to ever happen. This Dostoevsky guy, surely the boss has brought him up.
The three of us sat at the counter, the waitress seemed to recognize me and gave me a questioning look. I just slipped my finger to my lip in a hushing way winking at her. She seemed to get the idea nodding and starting a conversation with Chuuya and Tachihara. "So what would you guys like?" The waitress asked the both of them already knowing what I usually get. "I'd just like tea, I'm not in the mood to eat. Tachihara? Dazai? What are you guys getting?" He asked finally talking. "I'd like a coffee, three cream and two sugars please! And one panini." Tachihara said, he's still quite picky with his coffee I see. Then the three of them turned to me, I just smiled. "The usual, Lenni." I winked at her and she nodded. "It's weird to see you here with friends outside of work Mr.Dazai." Lenni said making me just chuckle at the insult. "The Usual? Mr.Dazai? Lenni? Do you come here often Dazai?" Tachihara butted in as Lenni just walked away to deal with our orders. "This is just below my office!" I said in a cheery voice only making Chuuya groan while Tachihara looked interested.

"Really?? Then whenever you have free time do you come here??" Tachihara asked making me chuckle. Lenni came back with our drinks while I continued to converse with Tachihara. We were just catching up on stuff since we haven't exactly seen each other for the past four years. My eyes kept flickering behind Tachihara to Chuuya who was sipping his tea in silence. I wanted this to be a nice reunion but that Dostoevsky guy ruined it all. I guess Chuuya saw that I was staring at him and clicked his tongue turning the other way. Guess he's still mad about graduation.
"-So Dazai, What'd you do after graduation? You heard my end so what about you?" I guess the word graduation makes Chuuya burn in anger because he slammed his money on the counter standing up furiously. "Ah Chuuya? You alright?" Tachihara asked slightly glancing at me before turning to Chuuya. "You sorry waste of bandages since you work here you don't need a ride home. Let's go Tachihara." Chuuya snarled his hair mostly covering his face. "Oh but Slug, I don't work today so Kunikida can't drop me off at home!" I pouted earning two questionable looks from the gingers. They were looking at something behind me, before I can react I was smacked in the head by a notebook. One I know way to well. "You idiot! Where have you been?! You haven't showed up to work this past week and you never answered your phone!" Kunikida, oh how perfect timing. Tachihara and Chuuya were confused watching Kunikida yell at me. "Kunikida lower your voice. There are people here and you're scaring them." I teased Kunikida and that made him stop looking behind me to find Tachihara and Chuuya staring at him weird. "Ah, My apologies I didn't know you brought a child with you." I snorted at the fact that Kunikida thought Chuuya was a child. "I am not a child! I'm twenty two!" Chuuya yelled out and Kunikida apologized immediately.

I didn't even see that Atsushi behind him. Atsushi seemed like something had clicked in him. He slightly gasped walking towards Chuuya with excitement. "Wait I know you! You're Chuuya Nakahara right?? I read you latest book! I have the copy right now!" Atsushi had sparkles in his eyes showing Chuuya the book in his hands. "I'm a huge fan! I have all your books, I literally have two copies of each book you've published! One set of copies for home, and the other for work! If I have spare time I can just read it from there!" Atsushi yelled out to the ginger, skimming through the book. Chuuya looked surprised, is this his first time meeting a fan or something?  "Poets of the goat? It barely released yesterday.." Chuuya mumbled in astonishment. "I know! I was the first one to get in line! I woke up around five in the morning just to get there four hours before the library opened! You should've seen the line Mr.Nakahara!" Atsushi kept talking and talking to Chuuya, the look of shock still plastered on his face. Atsushi was still talking before gasping dramatically. "Kenji! He's also a huge fan, he was waiting in line with me! Mr.Nakahara can you sign my books?? Stay put, let me get Kenji real quick!" Atsushi yelled out dashing away without letting Chuuya give him an answer leaving him dumbfounded.

"Huh, I guess you're the one Atsushi and Kenji kept fawning over these past weeks. They were quite excited to get your book yesterday Mr.Nakahara. Well, I did tell them to get me a copy, and they are not wrong. Your book was amazing so I'd like your autograph too if you don't mind." Even Kunikida read his book?? Why am I the only that didn't know he was an author! "Is it that good?? Let me see!" I yelled out reaching over at Kunikida who was handing Chuuya his book and a pen. "What? No!  I don't know where you've been and I'm not letting you touch my book!" Kunikida yelled out pushing me further away from Chuuya who looked confused. He sighed, signing the book in the process.

Welp. I've been busy with other writing projects so I completely forgot about this story. Luckily, I was half way of making this chapter so it wasn't hard continuing what I had started so there's that.
