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

Part 4

3rd POV
Atsushi came running down the stairs with Kenji and Yosano right behind him. "Woah! You weren't lying when you said The Chuuya Nakahara was in our cafe!" Yosano yelled out seeing the short ginger hand Kunikida back the signed book. "Why would I lie about this??" Atsushi said in a tone indicating that he was hurt by the comment. "Woah! Mr. Fancy hat is here! Can you please sign my books??" Kenji ran up to the ginger who froze on the spot. "Um Chuuya are you alright?" Dazai mumbled to the ginger who was still frozen.

"Chuuya's only acting this way because he's never actually ran into fans because everyone thinks he's too intimidating to approach." Tachihara sighed to which Chuuya's face blew a fuse turning to the taller ginger who was now snickering. "Really? People are intimidated by you?" Yosano asked, giving Chuuya her copy of Chuuya's books. He just signed them to the rightful owners in a hurry trying to avoid the question. "Yeah, can you believe it? If they were true fans they should that Chuuya's not that mean." Tachihara playfully rolled his eyes making Chuuya glare at him.

He handed Yosano her books then turned to Kenji to sign his stack. "Are you Tachihara Michizo? I also have your book! Can you sign it please?" Kenji asked as Chuuya gave him back his books. Tachihara just nodded and grabbed the book. "So which one was your favorite?" Chuuya asked finishing up on the third book Atsushi handed him. "Ooo, tough question! But if I'm being honest it had to be your first ever book." Atsushi stated, surprising the ginger. "Really? 'Upon the tainted sorrow' was your favorite?" Chuuya said crossing his arms, everyone staring at the two. "Yeah! I liked that you were passionate throughout the whole story! Especially, the last chapter, 'Corruption'." Atsushi said with a bright smile on his face as he kept the books close to his chest. Chuuya just chuckled and pat the younger boy on the shoulder. "I don't meet many fans but out of the ones who did approach me I think you've been the most excited." Chuuya laughed making Atsushis eyes glisten. "Have you been working on a new book Mr.Nakahara?" Yosano asked making the ginger turn his attention to the taller lady.

"Chuuya's just fine. And actually, I just gave my boss a new manuscript today. And I'll have to write a new one by the end of this month." Chuuya sighed heavily surprising the others. "By the end of this month? Isn't that too soon?" Kunikida then asked making Tachihara snicker. "See, that's the thing. Chuuya here, never meets his deadlines so every book that's been published has been delayed by at least a month or two because he procrastinated too much. The manuscript that he turned in was due six months ago. And the book he has to work on now was mentioned ten months ago, sure the book due at the end of the month might be too soon but he never meets his deadlines." Tachihara said leaning on the shorter. "Shut up. I've been.. busy." Chuuya mumbled turning away from the gaping people in front of him. "So you're little author here isn't perfect." Tachihara smirked earning an elbow in the stomach by Chuuya. "Shut up. At least I can write more than one book." Tachihara dramatically gasped at the insult clenching his chest in the process.

"Oh how rude of you Chuuya!" Tachihara groaned making Chuuya just roll his eyes at the process. Tachihara laughed it off, checking his watch. "Oh Chuuya, It's almost four. You said you were gonna drop off something for your sister?" Tachihara asked Chuuya who jumped at the reminder. "Oh shit you're right! Kouyou's gonna kill me!" Chuuya yelled out running back to his seat to grab his satchel. "Ooo! You're going over to Kouyou's place?? Let me tag along!" Dazai yelled out walking up to the ginger. "What?! No!" Chuuya yelled at the brunette who just giggled taking Chuuya's car keys. "Hey wait!" Chuuya yelled out but Dazai was already in the car. "Gosh that idiot. I've got to get going. I didn't catch your guy's names." Chuuya asked and the other just looked at the brunette behind Chuuya.
"Oh I'm Atsushi Nakajima!"
"Kunikida Doppo."
"Yosano Akiko."
"I'm Kenji Miyazawa!"

"Okay, It was nice meeting you guys! Tachihara you'll probably have to take the train home I'm sorry!" Chuuya yelled out running out the door.
"You mackerel get out of my car!" That was the last thing they heard from Chuuya before he drove off. "They seem to know each other well.." Atsushi nervously chuckled earning a sigh from Tachihara.
"You have no idea. The three of us went to high school together and you'd think me and Chuuya known each other longer but he and Dazai have know each other since they'd been six." Tachihara sighed looking back at the others. "Really? They look like they have some unresolved tension." Yosano said staring through the window. "Once more, you have no idea. They dated. They dated for like four years. But on our graduation day they like broke up. Nobody knew why cause they seemed happy together in the morning but later that afternoon Chuuya wouldn't even look Dazai's way." Tachihara explained surprising the others. "Dazai dated Chuuya?! But Chuuya seems like the person to have higher standards!" Atsushi yelled out in shock. "I thought that too because Dazai was an absolute weirdo in high school. Like he'd be that quiet kid in the corner of the class but I guess that's why they match together. Chuuya, the kind, popular handsome guy. And Dazai, the loner, smart, and weirdo who wore bandages to school. Complete opposites. People don't lie when they say opposites attract."

Woah two chapters a day??? I literally don't know why but I'm determined to try and finish this story.
