Double Black

for chuuya to live as a human being

A/N: This work has Stormbringer spoilers, and mentions Dazai-typical suicide references

Happy Birthday, Chuuuya~ (April 29)

There was something suspicious going on.

In the two whole years now that Chuuya has known Dazai, that shitty fish has never behaved so strangely as he was today. He was absurd and annoying on a regular day in the first place. That scaled up by four times, and there's his peculiar behaviour today right there. Understandably, it was super creepy! 

A Dazai who acted weirder than usual? Surely nobody needed that all.

Chuuya started noticing the symptoms first thing in the morning. It was very noticeable, see. For some reason, that bastard practically lived with Chuuya now. All his bare minimum stuff was stored away in Chuuya's closets, and he even shared his very luxurious bed! Chuuya considered kicking him out a year or so ago, but he's just been too lazy to actually do it. 

Working at the Port Mafia was tiring, alright? Nobody had the time to kick out unwanted, pet mackerels from their houses. It was just better to leave pests alone, and pray for them to leave you alone too, and keep your sanity intact. 

Anyway, even though the infamous duo ended up sharing a bed at night, Dazai always woke up first, a good couple hours before dawn break, and normal waking-up time. Because Chuuya actually gave a fuck about his sleep schedule, he woke up during normal hours, unlike his very annoying partner. Even more annoyingly, he was usually woken up by a pillow smacked to his face, a certain brunet whining and bitching about how he needed food, and how 'his dog' should wake up right away and make him breakfast.

It was a good thing that Dazai was dealing with food and eating habits better now, and that he was even able to actually ask to be cooked for and fed. But still! A guy needs to sleep in every once in a while, alright? And besides, even if he was to be woken up super early by that asshole, couldn't that guy be a little more gentle about it?! 

That is exactly what happened today. Which was, of course, the very first sign of the universe being thrown into chaos; even if might be for just a day.

Today, Chuuya was woken up by bony fingers poking his cheeks, and chapped lips breathing softly into his hair. Since he was not used to such weird feelings, Chuuya obviously came to the most logical conclusion. That someone had broken into his apartment and kidnapped the shitty fish as a favour to him, and he was now being woken up so strangely by the kidnapper himself. 

As expected of brutish chibis with muscles for brains (Dazai's words, any doubt?), Chuuya jumped out of bed immediately, instantly on alert and his eyes wandering to find the stranger in his room. Completely opposite to his expectations, he was greeted by the sight of the usual asshole lying down on his bed.

Dazai raised his eyebrows, lips curved up in amusement, "It's just me."

Having decided that his apartment was, indeed, safe from creepy strangers, Chuuya groaned before sliding back into bed, "What the fuck. That was so gross. What's with you today?"

Dazai waved his hands, "I just figured I should wake up my dog kindly today."

Said 'dog' mumbled, "Whatever. I'll make you breakfast in a bit so-"

This time, his partner cut him off, "Oh, don't bother. It's fine. I was leaving anyway, so I'll just see you later."

Before Chuuya could properly gather his thoughts and say something, that asshole was already out of his apartment, the door shutting behind him with a soft click. On looking around at his bedroom once again, Chuuya couldn't help but notice how everything looked... So clean, and empty. It was almost as if Dazai had never been there at all.
