Molly's Fics Cause she Refuses to Read Them on Ao3

Even If The World Turns Their Back On You, I'll Always Be By Your Side

Lately, things haven't been great for the Dazai-Nakahara Family.

Unlike the usual light and lovey-dovey (in his parents' case) atmosphere, the air in the house has been tense due to the incident that happened a week ago.

Chuuya had not been his usual self (as much as he tried to conceal it and act normal, Shuuji still took notice. After all, he wouldn't look at the young boy in the eyes).

Dazai, too, despite the perfect facade he put up in front of the 10 years old, sometimes when he's lost and has no idea how to support his lover (which, mind you, he always does), the mask would slip and his worry for his husband is shown clearly on his face.

Shuuji had no idea what to do.

School hasn't been easy for him, either. After the incident, some people are looking at him differently, calling his mother names. If it's not for Chuuya and Dazai always reminding him to keep violence to minimums, he would have gotten a suspension by now. Besides, Shuuji knew better than to worry his parents further.

"Look, it's the monster's child." Was heard as soon as Shuuji stepped into the room.

The redhead merely sighed to himself and quietly went to his seat. His desk was a mess, they were writing nasty words about him, his mother .

With gritted teeth, Shuuji glared at those who wrote on his desk. Of course, he knows everyone who wrote here. He recognized their handwriting. But to respond to their insults means he's not better than them so he put a book on top of his desk to cover them instead.

This is nothing. Chuuya has it worse than him.

Now, are you all wondering what had happened a week prior?

Shuuji didn't know the details and the adults refused to tell him. However, he saw him. His mother, on the television, on the huge billboard, on people's phones, everywhere.

His mother was on rampage , throwing balls of black everywhere while laughing maniacally, destroying a quarter of the city.

He was bleeding too, so badly, and if not for his father who was soon seen on the screen too, the city would be annihilated for sure.

But more than the city, Shuuji was more terrified of the state of his mother.

It was not Chuuya.

His suspicion was later confirmed by his father who told him that it was Chuuya's power. A God dwells inside of Chuuya and indeed, sometimes when Chuuya releases it, that much destruction is to be expected .

However, there's a promise between the two of them that Chuuya wouldn't activate the power if he's not with Dazai, because the God would continue to rage until Chuuya dies and Dazai's nullification is the only way to bring him back.

The fact that it activated, means either Chuuya's in a pinch or he is forced to do so.

The latter was correct. Chuuya had been controlled by an organization trying to ruin not the Port Mafia, but Chuuya himself. A personal grudge.

And upon activating corruption and leaking Chuuya's information, there was an ability user whose power was to broadcast which explained the whole city witnessing Chuuya in his corruption state.

It was messy .

Dazai had taken everything down and deleted everything he could but the video had been seen and normal citizens who recognized Chuuya had turned their backs on him.

Chuuya sighed as he leaned his head on Dazai's shoulders. He hadn't gone to the headquarters since he was discharged from the hospital and Dazai, too, hadn't been going to the agency to keep him company.
