Psychokinesis (Dazai x Reader)

Chapter 17: Stay, Dazai

Y/N'S POV

Just hearing his voice gives me a mix of emotions swirling around my chest. I should be angry but I couldn't help but feel worried which makes me hate myself just a bit.

"Chuuya.." I read the contact on my phone after the sixth ring, I sat down to listen to what he wanted to say though the urge to throw my phone out the window was not going away.

Chuuya: I'm so glad to hear your voice, Y/N. I thought you had died.

I couldn't bring up the words I wanted to yell. 'Why'd you leave me? Is it really that easy for you to abandon me?!' Of course, I didn't say it out loud.

"I'm okay" I answered in a very low voice, almost whispering.

Chuuya: I know everything happened so suddenly and I apologize for that. I can't tell you much of the details for your safety but please, wherever you are, stay safe.

After that, he ended the call that didn't even last a minute. I was confused and angry at how he didn't even let me speak but more than that, I was mad because it took him this long to call me. Chuuya, what happened to you and the Port Mafia?

Knock, knock

"Come in" I opened the door and welcomed the person on the other side into the room. It felt weird being there alone after receiving an unexpected call.

Dazai: Forgive me, Y/N for coming in this late. It seems that I have forgotten to take my pillows with me.

I didn't know how to say it but I wanted him to stay.

"oh, um yeah no problem" I reached my arm out to point his bed with his pillows and blankets on it. He grabbed them and smiled at me. Seeing him walk towards the door made my heart sink and my head spin. I didn't want to be alone, not today.

"please.." I softly spoke while grabbing on to the sleeves of his long coat and not looking directly in his eyes.

"will you stay for a bit?" I looked up and he was a bit surprised. Can't blame him though, I doubt that even he predicted that I'd do this sort of thing. I might even regret this tomorrow when I finally get myself together.

Dazai: Are you alright, what happened, Y/N?

He smiled and moved closer to me. I let go of his coat and felt a tear form in my eye.

"Chuuya called me" I answered, sniffling and struggling to properly speak.

Dazai: He did? Is that the reason why you're tearing up?

He looked genuinely concerned which really melted my heart. The thought of him being a former executive in the Port Mafia keeps slipping from my mind but at the same time, provides a shed of hope that he's a bit similar to me.

"Perhaps. I didn't think he'd even care" I smiled, trying way too hard to hide what I'm feeling.

Then something unbelievable happened, Dazai walked a few more steps to the point that I could feel his breath above me. He then used his arms to hug me, gently placing my head on his chest. I couldn't complain at all nor did I have the energy to resist. I could smell his scent surrounding me through his clothes. He was warm, after all this time when I thought Dazai was nothing but a cold-hearted person.

Dazai: Of course he cared. Anyone who would've met you would care. Please don't torture yourself too much, none of this is your fault.

I cried. I, too wrapped my arms around him and just buried myself on his chest; Hearing his heartbeat even more as the seconds pass.

"Thank you" I mumbled, trying to fully express how grateful I am.

Dazai: You must get some rest, I promise to not leave your side.

"Are you really not going to leave?"

Dazai: I never break a promise. Never did.

And that didn't feel like a lie, he must've made thousands of promises to his bosses that he successfully fulfilled. Be it for good or evil.

Dazai: Now, sleep and when you wake up, I'll be here.
