Forever Together [Soukoku]

Chapter 23 : Not dead

"Im here, have you been waiting for long Atsushi ?" Adked the brunet with a smile. Chuuya looked toward the newcomer and they both make eyes contact. It was Dazai, the room went silent as the two of them looked at each other surprised.

"Yes ... he did ..." said Haruko answering Dazai's question.

"Shut up Haru..." replied the ginger with annoyance as he left.

"Fuck you Chuuya! Why are you taking out your anger on me?!" she yelled even if the door was already closing.
Dazai glared at her and she looked at him confused and annoyed.

"What??..." asked Haruko and Dazai did a head move toward the stunned Atsushi and Haruko understood quickly her mistake.

"CHUUYA???!! But- But isnt he- uh-?? Dead???" Shouted the young boy confused to hear that name.

"DO I LOOK FUCKING DEAD TO YOU??!!!" Yelled Chuuya from outside.

"Look Atsushi, keep this to yourself alright ?" Said Dazai with a smile. Atsushi looked toward Dazai still really confused and with a lot of questions but he only nodded.

"Okey... but... How is that possible? And who is she?" He finally asked.

"How Chuuya is alive? You dont need to know that... As for her... she's just a nameless girl which take part of the 'you dont need to know that'" he answered without actually answering Atsushi's question.

"Hey you-! I have a name now ! Its Haruko!!" She yelled unhappy but Dazai did not care. Atsushi looked at her then at Dazai, he was really confused.

"Alright... But since you told me to keep it to myself does that mean no one know about Chuuya being alive?" Asked Atsushi and Haruko nodded.

"Yes your now the fourth person who know it, congratulations now you beter shut up about it~" she said with a smile and the white haired boy nodded nervously.

"Wait fourth ? Who is the third?" He asked curiously.

"Its Liam, you must meet him he's a really nice guy! An old friend of Chuuya and Dazai right~?" She said smiling to Dazai who glared annoyed at her.

"Oh an old friend of Dazai? I must meet him then!" He said with enthusiasm.

"You will not meet that bastard..." said Dazai even more annoyed.

"HEY! Dont forget that its thanks to him that Chuuya is still herd! Your so ungrateful! He's the one who took care of him after you just left like if nothing happened! Damn it i hate you so much!!" She yelled then left angrily as Atsushi looked at her go confused.

"What happened?" Asked Atsushi looking at Dazai's unemotional face.

"Dont mind them, they are just so easily getting angry over nothing" he said and also left, now Atsushi was all by himself in this empty bar.

"Well i guess i should just go home..." he said to himself and went out of the bar.

Chuuya was sitting on a bench watching the sunset, he didn't even notice that its been a few hours since he left the bar and that he should probably go back. But when he remembered who he met this morning he felt pissed off. If he hadn't left he would had punched Dazai for sure.

He sighed annoyed that he was thinking about him again. Chuuya closed his eyes and let him head fall back facing the sky. It felt nice to just sit and dont think about anything, he was relaxed. But it didnt last long as he sudenly felt uncomfortable, as if someone watched him closely, like really closely.

He opened his eyes abruptly and the first thing he saw was hazel eyes right in front of him, hid first reflex was to punch the person.

"Ouch~  Why did you punch me  Chuuya ~~~?" Said a way too familiar voice.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU TRYING TO DO DAZAI???!!!!" yelled the ginger at the brunet who held his punched cheek in his hand.

"Nothing worth getting punched!" Replied Dazai which annoyed Chuuya even more.

"Look, you cant just stare at people so closely, especially when they have their eyes closed..." he said trying ro stay calme.

"But Chuuya's relaxed face is so nice, i couldn't resist but to want to look at it closer~" said Dazai with a childish smile and Chuuya sighed.

"Also it really made me want to do something~" he said with an excited expression.

"Do what?" Asked the ginger not sure if he really wanted to know.

"I want to kiss you~"
