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

Part 5

3rd POV
   
"I hate you." Chuuya mumbled leaning on his right palm while his left hand was on the wheel. "That's what they all say~" Dazai teased leaning back into the passenger seat, his legs on the dasher. "Oh come on man! You're gonna get my car dirty!" Chuuya yelled out turning away from the road to push Dazai's legs of the dasher. "Loosen up Chuuya, Kouyou wouldn't be very happy to see you so tended up." Dazai patted Chuuya's shoulder making the ginger grimace at the touch. "Don't touch me asshole." Chuuya muttered out smacking the brunettes hand away as he pulled up to a drive way. "How rude!" Dazai said opening his door and stopped to look at the familiar house. "So does Kouyou take care of the house on her own?" Dazai asked following after Chuuya who ignored his question. Chuuya stopped at the front door to look through his satchel for his house keys. After a minute he groaned out of frustration. "Where the hell is it?!" Chuuya yelled now dumping everything in his satchel on the floor. There were pens, notes, gum and basically everything you would carry around on a normal day. But what stood out most for Dazai was a journal that landed flat on the floor. It was huge, Dazais surprised that Chuuya didn't even flinch at the thud it made when it landed on the floor. While Chuuya was too busy going through the mess he created, Dazai picked the journal up reading the title which said,
'Property of Chuuya Nakahara
2014 - 2015'
'2014 - 2015? Isn't that when we first dated?' Dazai thought, opening to the first page only for a small picture to fall out. He immediately went to grab it hearing the gingers rambling about his lost keys. It was a picture of the two on their first ever date. It was at an arcade, the two were fighting over who had the best date idea but they ended up with an arcade since it was fun and simple. He smiled, out of all the dates the two have been on, he loved the first the most. He then skimmed through the pages to see there was at least a photo or two in each page. He went back to the first page and began reading.
' March 12, 2014.
'Well, I got asked out by the guy I've been liking since I was ten. I kind of panicked and punched him in the face, and to make matters worse, I cowardly ran away. Embarrassing right? Yeah don't have to tell me twice. After that, I couldn't even look at him even if he was literally right in front of me. I guess Odasaku Sensei saw how I was acting and ended up telling us we had to help him grade some papers after school. I mean I wasn't surprised we were the smartest ones on campus. I might be a hot head with little to no patience but I can be smart about things. Later, Odasaku Sensei said he was going to get some things from Ango Sensei's class leaving Dazai and I by ourselves. There was an awkward silence before I manned up and apologized for punching him in the face. He said it was okay and it was a normal reaction. I obviously didn't agree but just nodded my head. After a minute or so, he spoke up asking if I had an answer for him. I'm not going to lie, when he asked, I was shitting bricks. I wasn't ready to answer but I clenched my fists and fiercely walked up to the boy in front of me. I grabbed him by his collar and smashed my lips on his. I wasn't even thinking at the time and just thought this was the only way he would know my answer. I pulled away realizing what I had just done and panicked. I was rambling things I don't even remember at this point, but was reassured by the brunette who stood in front of me with a wide smile. I loved his smile. I loved everything about him actually, he was the best part of my day and nothing can change that. He pulled me into an embrace saying when we should go on our first date but I didn't even focus on the question and just hugged him with twice as much force. It was the best day of my life.'
The page ended there and the next page was March 14th, the day of their date. Chuuya realized Dazai was being too quiet for his own good turning around immediately. His eyes widened seeing the journal that the brunette had, out of instinct he jumped at Dazai snatching the book away. "How much did you read you asshole?!" Chuuya yelled out of anger as Dazai just stood there with a small smile. "You kept the photos..." That's all that came out of Dazai's mouth holding up the photo from the arcade. Chuuya's face grew red snatching the photo from Dazai's hand placing it back in its original place. "It's a waste of film if I do." Chuuya snarled back placing everything back in his satchel. He then knocked on the door after failing to find his keys. The door opened and there was a small girl with purple hair. "Uncle Chuuya! Mom! Uncle Chuuya's here!" The young girl yelled into the house not noticing the one behind her uncle. She gasped and yelled once more, "Uncle Dazai's here too!" That's what lead to loud stomping from inside the house up to the door. There, was a woman who had long ginger hair in a pink kimono. "Kouyou! Still beautiful as ever I see." Dazai butted in, walking into the house. "Chuuya. Care to tell me why the guy you swore you absolutely hated for the past four years is in my house talking to my daughter." Kouyou said in between gritted teeth. "It's.. complicated Kouyou.. It happened so fast I still haven't processed what the fuck happened this morning." Chuuya sighed, sitting on the couch with Kouyou across from him. "I don't think Fyodor would be happy seeing you hanging out with your first love." Kouyou said, grabbing a wine bottle and two glasses. "Kouyou, Fyodor and I have been broken up. I guess I forgot to tell you." Chuuya sighed once more, rejecting the glass of wine in front of him. "What?! You two broke up?! Why?! You guys were perfect together! You dated for almost a year!" That seemed to catch Dazai's attention. "I swear I've heard that name before.." He muttered to which the young girl rose a brow to. "What'd you say Uncle Dazai?" Dazai turned to young girl next to him as he sat at the kitchen counter. "Nothing Dear Kyouka, how's school been? Anybody catch your eye~?" Dazai teased Kyouka earning a small blush on the younger. "Well... There is this one boy.." Kyouka mumbled getting the brunettes attention. "Oh my god, tell me everything!"

I don't know why but Dazai's seems like the type of Uncle to know all the school gossip because of his nieces and nephews.
