Dazai slowly crept through the hallways of the abandoned hospital. The gifted terrorist was rumored to be hiding here and Kunikida insisted they be safe rather than sorry. Due to Dazai's nullification ability he would be the safest option to send, back up only in case it was truly needed. It was only a rumor after all.
- Ah, hello there. I see you've also taken a liking to this abandoned hospital. I must say it is quite homey, Dazai spoke arrogantly to the distraught figure in the darkness.
- Take one more step and the hostage gets it, you hear me?!
Dazai opened his eyes, surprised to hear that the terrorist had expected someone and taken measures. Dazai took one look at the hostage, smirked and put on a worried expression.
- Oh please don't hurt that pretty lady! I'll do whatever you want, just please let her go. She is innocent.
- Shut up! Call for backup, I want all your men here! Then I'll let her go and we'll have a fair fight, me against the whole agency. You have twenty seconds to make the call!
- I'll do it. Just please don't hurt the pretty lady.
Dazai picked up his phone, put it to his ear and smirked again, now more visibly.
"You were expecting Atsushi, weren't you?" Dazai said and jumped to the side to dodge the boulder the pretty ginger hostage had thrown at him. Red glow surrounded the hostage and the dress "she" was wearing floated aggressively.
- Damn dimwit Dazai! Couldn't they have sent anyone else?! The hostage, Nakahra Chuuya cursed.
- Just hand over the weretiger and this doesn't have to get messy! The alleged terrorist tried to threaten. Chuuya shot a boulder to his direction to shut him up.
- This is between me and Dazai now.
The fake terrorist ended up fleeing once Dazai and Chuuya got to fighting seriously. Chuuya ended up collapsing the exits of the building before Dazai had the time to come into contact with him. Chuuya's rampage ended with Dazai gently placing his had on his cheek, a motion Chuuya claimed to depsise. Dazai found it hard to believe though, seeing as the floating weaponized boulders dropped to the ground seconds before Dazai even made any contact.
Chuuya settled down against one wall of the room. Dazai chose an opposite wall. The standstill would continue until operatives of their respective organizations would come to free them. Chuuya could have possibly removed the rubble, but he seemed tired, considering he was laying against the wall with hair in one corner of his mouth and drool falling out of the other one.
Dazai noticed Chuuya's hat on the floor and went to pick it up. He placed it on Chuuya's head, secretly hoping it would wake the sleeping beauty up. It did. Chuuya annoyedly elbowed Dazai who had taken the liberty of sitting next to him. Dazai softly smiled towards Chuuya, not picking up the fight at all, annoying Chuuya even further.
- I must say, you make a pretty lady, Chuuya.
- You make a terrible knight in shining armor, Dazai.
- You should just take the compliment. I called you attractive. And you don't make a hideous man either, if that's what you're thinking.
- Can you quit it already, Dazai? You're such an idiot you know that? Speaking to me like that as if you had never caused me all that headache and suffering. You're such a pain.
- Aww I love you too.
- Shut up!
Apparently the tired man still had some power in him and he thought best to use that power to punt Dazai across the room. Chuuya stood up and followed Dazai where he had kicked him. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath and started going off on Dazai.
- You have no idea how much you've always hurt me! All you ever talk about is your glorious plans to die, and then you go and try it. And who was it who had to sit there for an hour with you, trying to stop you? And why did I do that? I'm not even sure myself anymore. I guess I just care too much about you for my own good. Always have. And you just go and leave me without saying a word. I thought you'd gone and finally done it before you showed your pretty face again. And here you are pretending none of this ever happened. Do you ever think about how I, or anyone else for that matter, might feel about you?!
- OoOooOoo you just love me sooo much, Dazai said mockinlgy while looking away out of shame.
- So what if I did?!
Dazai was unable to stop his expression from widening as he processed Chuuya's words. Chuuya had kicked a dent into the wall next to Dazai's head where Chuuya's leg still rested. Dazai took hold of the leg and spun Chuuya around so that now Chuuya was the one pinned against the wall and Dazai was standing above him.
- I'm sorry, Chuuya. How should I apologize?
- Don't, you wouldn't mean it either way.
Chuuya took Dazai by the collar and pulled him closer.
- And yet... I don't care, Chuuya finished his sentence on Dazai's lips and pulled Dazai closer by the collar, forcing their lips into a kiss. Dazai didn't put up a fight.
Neither of them wanted to pull away or even move, they hoped they could stay like this forever. The small eternity that passed had to be enough, knowing this Chuuya pushed Dazai away and got up. He put his hand on Dazai's shoulder as if he was about say something but didn't. Dazai put his hand on Chuuya's. Chuuya pulled away and walked to the other side of the room where he remained until Rashomon slid a wall open, allowing Chuuya to climb out and leaving Dazai to wait for the backup he forgot to call.
Kunikida was cursing Dazai out in the front seat for not reporting anything back for nearly 12 hours. Dazai wasn't listening, Kunikida's words had no space in his head with all the other thoughts racing in there. Chuuya had never been that vulnerable with him before. Dazai stared out of the window, not looking at the passing buildings but replaying what had happened in his memories.
- Are you even listening to me you buffoon? Kunikida snapped.
- I've got more grave issues to think about.
- Why so serious all of a sudden, you aren't going to be snarkier than that?
- Let's just say that the relationship with the enemy has gotten more complicated...
Kunikida huffed at Dazai's lamenting and kept driving in silence. By the time they reached the agancy Dazai had regained his annoying arrogant self.
