-Rockstar Loverboy- An AkuAtsu/Shin Suokoku AU

Ch. 2

Welcome back! This is officially part 2 of this story! I'm already doing better! Hopefully, my writer's block will stay on vacation and I can continue to give you all content! Enjoy!

Akutagawa's POV:

My day only seemed to drag on as the boredom of being able to do nothing at work made it miserable and slow. We practiced a little, but Chuuya had a doctor's appointment so we ended practice early. I walked into my barren apartment, the smell left behind from the past owners fainter than before. I peel off my coat and sunglasses and place them on a small table in a dining/kitchen area. It almost always felt empty anymore. Ever since Gin moved out, loneliness ate away at my heart. My rage grew greater every year that passed. High school was the worst. At that time, our band was just a garage gig. We did have one more member at that time though. Dazai Osamu. That bastard seemed to pluck the strings of everybody's hearts. He led us on all of high school, then he suddenly quit. Chuuya was especially furious since he and Dazai were dating and he hadn't discussed that with him. Then they broke up. It was a surprise to everyone. He parted ways and none of us have seen him since.

*Flashback*

"Dazai! Why are you so obnoxiously late today?" said Tachihara jokingly. We all looked at the bandaged brunette who had an unusually serious look on his face. "I can't do this anymore. I'm quitting. I'm sorry for this being so sudden." He said. The tone in his voice let us all know that he wasn't joking. "What?" said Chuuya in disbelief. Everyone else was frozen in place. Words were stuck in my throat. What the hell. Dazai and Chuuya left the garage quickly to talk about his abrupt decision. Chuuya returned red-faced, tears streaming down his face. "We broke up." He said. He grabbed his bag and walked to the door. "...Wait." Said Gin, her voice quiet and broken. "Why?" said Tachihara, his voice equally as quiet. "He said that he had more important things to do than be in a childish band. He said he has a future outside of this. He said he had a little brother now! What am I supposed to say to that? I said he didn't have to leave the band and that he should have talked to me about it first. That's when he said that we should see other people." Chuuya was more broken than the rest of us, the pain evident in every word he said. He then left without saying another word, Tachihara soon following. Gin walked into the house silent. I made a decision right then and there. If I ever saw Dazai or that bratty little brother of his, I would strangle the both of them.

*Flashback over*

Anger bubbled in me as the thoughts of that dreadful day crept into my mind. I rolled over on the couch grabbed my phone off of the coffee table in front of it. I pull up a social media page and search for Dazai's name. I click on the first one only to see it wasn't him. I scroll and click for hours to find him, my search becoming a mad chase of sorts. I finally find his page. It's filled to the brim with pictures of him smiling from ear to ear. I then realize that it says in the info bar that he follows the band's social media page. Has he cared this whole time? Has he listened to our music all this time? Did he realize that half of our songs are about him? Did he realize we wrote a whole hateful song about his brother? This was bad. I thought he would have nothing to do with us after he left the band. A thought came to mind. What does his brother look like? Why would his moms have a child so late into their lives? I click on a picture of him with his moms. He looked happy with them. I soon realize that it's a slideshow. I swipe and see a boy with off-white-colored hair and sunset eyes. His smile was so warm and sweet. Just looking at this boy made my lonely heart swell. I look in the description to see who he was. Was he Dazai's new boyfriend? "I love hanging out with my moms and little brother!" it said. THAT was Dazai's brother. He looks nothing like any of them. Is he adopted? He must be. Wait, I thought he was cute. He can't be cute if he's Dazai's brother! What's wrong with me! I can't let the appearance of this boy sweep me away that quickly!

I scroll down and see a whole slideshow dedicated to the boy Dazai calls his brother. I swipe through the entirety of it and realize just how pretty he really was. The way he smiled and the way his eyes glimmered was the cutest thing I had ever seen. He was breathtaking in every single way. I thought about strangling him in another way now. NO! NO! NO! Why would I think that?!? I shook my head and clicked on the comment section. They were all either from Dazai's family talking about how adorable he was or they were from creepy older men who wanted things from him. It made my blood boil. He was so innocent and these creeps were corrupting him. I stopped. Why was I getting so mad? It was completely unnecessary. I was supposed to hate him, but now I want to protect him? What is happening to me! What is that boy doing to me?

It got a little dramatic AND spicy there didn't it? Expect more of that though! Thank you for reading!
