mentions of blood

—
as akutagawa walked out of the shared apartment, he was immediately pulled into dark alley way.

he was pinned to the wall, a knife at his neck. akutagawa gasped at the sudden act, but recovered quickly and got rashomon out.

but as soon as he did, the person slit his neck. not enough to kill him though.
blood leaked through the cut and stained his shirt. the person also muffled him so no one could hear him. they punched him in the stomach, making blood come out of his mouth. they cut him in his stomach, ripping the fabric that went under the blade, and making the already blood-soaked shirt, even more dirty with blood.

akutagawa was too weak to use rashomon. all he could do was just stand there and take everything.
~
when the person finally left, akutagawa fell to the ground, and held his stomach. he already lost a lot of blood.

he was bleeding from his forehead, mouth, neck, and stomach. it gave him flashbacks of the past. of the abuse, the glass bottles, the blades, the bruises, the scars. he was scared.

all he could do now was just sit there, passed out, waiting for someone to come and help him.

maybe this is what dazai meant when he said he was weak.
~
when atsushi went outside to go to work, he sensed that something didnt feel right. the same feeling from before.

he immediately went to the alley and found akutagawa bleeding.

he was stood still from the shock and grief he felt. he then snapped out of it and he ran to him,picking him up and putting him on his back.
he sprinted to the armed detective agency as fast as he could, even turning on his ability. that was how desperate he was.
~
when he got there, he immidiantly ran to yosano.

" yosano-san! please, please help akutagawa. " he yelled while tears were streaming down his face.
" atsushi-kun- " yosano said, a bit stunned.
" please. " atsushi begged to her.
" ok. " stated yosano.

they quickly went to the infirmary, and laid akutagawa down onto the bed.
~
after yosano was finished healing akutagawa, she went to atsushi to tell him that he was ok.

" all done now atsushi-kun. " yosano said while cracking her fingers and stretching her back.
" we have to figure out who did this. " atsushi said while clenching his fists.
" w-what? " yosano stuttered in shock.
" we have to figure out who did this, or i'll never forgive myself. " atsushi chocked out as hot tears began pooling in his eyes.

yosano sighed.

" calm down. we'll figure out who did this in due time. " calmly said yosano.
" b-but what if- "
" no buts. " yosano put a finger over atsushi's mouth.

atsushi just sighed in defeat.

~

akutagawa woke up. atsushi immediately hugs akutagawa and kisses him.

" you scared the hell out of me ryū. " atsushi's says, tearing up again.
" i-im sorry. it was a so sudden and i wasn't ready for it. " akutagawa says apologetically while looking downat the pure white besheets.
" no,no, please don't apologize for something that wasn't your fault. " atsushi says somberly.
he then gives akutagawa a small kiss on his forehead.

" i'm never letting you go again. "

atsushi hugs akutagawa protectively.

" c'mon jinko, this is the first and only time. " pouts akutagawa.
" and? " atsushi says.

there was silence.

" i love you. "

they say in unison as they giggle along with each other.
