Angst/Fluff
-                                                  -

It was a dark, rainy night. You were waiting for your boyfriend. He seemed to be taking a while, 4 minutes late for precise measure. All you could feel was the light, cold sensation upon your back, all you could do was slightly shiver and wait.

"What's taking him so long...?" you felt anxious and worried. Did he forget about the plan? Did he forget today was going to be the day you and him have your long-awaited date? or.... is this his way of saying he was dumping you? These rather intrusive thoughts have repeatedly flood your mind, starting to make tears form in the corners of your eyes, only a second later did they start to fall on to your cheeks leaving a faint warm trail behind, slowly you crouched down and begun to form into a ball, hiding your face in your knees quietly wishing Chuuya was there to be with you, to comfort you, to protect you, and most of all, Love you.

The faint tapping of the rain started to grow slightly more turning into a feeling of a heavy tap, and on top of the heavier tapping came along the sound of faint and light splashes, grabbing your attention, you looked up to see a small figure drawing closer to you, the figure was none other than Chuuya himself, your boyfriend. You felt a mix of emotions, anger, abandonment, sadness, most of all you felt you've done something wrong, something that has made Chuuya upset. 

"You look like you've waited here for more than 20 minutes" Chuuya claimed. "hey, let's get going, I've made you that promise right? I might as well keep my word." he looked down to your crouched form. You simply hid your face in your legs again, Chuuya only starting to grow concerned, you on the other hand have begun to cry. 

Chuuya could only hear your muffled sobs and by then only thought was "did you really wait for me that long?" it hurt him, seeing you crying, seeing you cold and hunched over. He decided that you needed to get out of the rain before you could fully make a conversation. "Hey... let's find a place to get out of the rain, alright?" You looked back up to meet Chuuya's softened gaze. "Look.. I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you now love. Let's go find some place dry and we'll have that date I promised you."

You could only feel a little bit better, yet at the same time you could still only feel guilt, you begun to stand up again. The feeling of a somewhat sharp pain shoot through your legs from crouching for too long, making Chuuya take notice of this. The feeling of two arms wrapping around your forearms and knees from behind, only to be pulled off the ground into a embrace you rarely got to feel, due from the lack of time Chuuya has in his day. You felt pampered, in a good way.


While Chuuya carries you to a dry place to continue your date you thought of a few things, you thought of how amazing Chuuya is, you've thought of the things you've felt the needed to be returned, one thing stuck out the most. You felt and are lucky to have the Nakahara Chuuya, a port mafia underboss, as your boyfriend. At the same time unfortunately you feel he might be playing with your heart and using you, even though his love for you felt so genuine and unconditional.


Before another thought could be made you two were at an underground subway passage. It's a decent place to get away from the rain,,, if you know your railways well. Chuuya shrugs off his jacket after setting you down on some pavement that was out of the rain's area of contact. "it's a bit damp but it's better than leaving you cold.. You've been so silent this whole time, is everything okay? did something happen when I was coming to get you?" you felt a little annoyed. Clearly he's concerned but he doesn't really get the hint. "oi, don't make me repeat myself. you know I find it ru..." "you took so long. I thought you were playing with me... you said you'd be around in ten minutes and it resulted to twenty! I was left freezing, wet and upset!" there was a suffocating silence.

Chuuya knew there was no excuse to matters like this. He wanted to explain what happened but more or less it'll still sound like an excuse. Even Chuuya started to get frustrated, you had the right to be mad. It rained unexpectedly, the meeting spot was a little sketchy and Chuuya got held back by Dazai for a little bit. Yet you never knew about the last part. Chuuya heavily sighs and grumpily sits down beside you, by this action you started to have that familiar knot in your heart, guilt was sweeping over you just as hard as the rain poured outside. Chuuya could also feel this guilt, hence his way of trying to make things better with trying to comfort you by slipping his arm behind your back and sliding you closer to his side, lifting off his hat he placed it upon your head. something he'd do to either tease or to make you happy as you were quite fond of his hat and its little chain.

"Love... I'm sorry. I should've just left right then and there, Dazai is Dazai though and held me back, I wanted to see you as soon as I could but..." Chuuya got frustrated "that good for nothing, damn suicidal maniac ruined everything!" As the abandoned tunnels echoed, "That wasn't a very creative insult Chuuya. What's holding you back?" You stifle a laugh. Chuuya was confused for a small moment but then laughs along with you "maybe this time I wanted it to be pathetic." As you calmed down from laughing, you took off Chuuyas hat and placed it upon your lap and rested your head on Chuuya's shoulder.

The two of you exchanged jokes until the guilt has been drowned out. After that the both of you just relaxed and kept each other close. "Hey. I love you dearly, i want you to know that, even if you do. You don't need to do things that help me seek your worth, hell! you're way better than the 89' bottle I drank! no... you're better than any bottle of fine wine!" Chuuya was singing praises all about you, your figure, your personality, everything. Fluttering can be felt throughout your stomach, you cheeks flush.

Chuuya takes the chance to peck you on the cheek, it was tender and you almost wanted to treasure this moment and Chuuya's kiss. Carefully you were picked up by your sides being pulled closer into his embrace that is warm and comfortable. You could only hug Chuuya back, hiding your head into his shoulder. You wanted to fall asleep right there in his arms. 

Closing your eyes, you could hear the faint heartbeat belonging to Chuuya and his steady breathing. It was soothing to you as when you two had time for each other, it was spent cuddling, that's what your thing was. To cuddle and listen to each other. Just be comfortable with one another. You couldn't think much anymore, you grew too tired to muster anything else. Everything became blocked out, still hearing the rain beating away at the concrete, Chuuya's heartbeat, it really was something you've missed all too dearly.

As the world fades away. 

You've fallen asleep.
