Psychokinesis (Dazai x Reader)

Chapter 29: Weakness

Y/N'S POV

I looked around once more to check if I was hallucinating or I was simply exhausted. Just what happened in this place?

As I scanned the building, all I could find was corpses of people I didn't know. Looks like they weren't ability users but people working in separate departments.

"What is this? Did Fyodor do this while we were away?"

Dazai: Tsk. Why would he bother to kill those who aren't ability users?

Chuuya: Isn't his target those with abilities? Then how do you explain this, then?

We all looked at Akio at the same time and waited for a response. I guess he could feel the terror from our glare because he started trembling.

Akio: I don't..know.. This wasn't even part of our plan.

Dazai clenched his fist as he looked at the corpses lying around. I could tell that he's beyond upset at the sight of his lifeless coworkers. I moved closer to him and offered to hug, he quickly laid his head on my shoulder and wrapped his arm around me. I could feel his mood improve after a few minutes of physical contact with me.

Dazai: I need to call Ranpo. They were supposed to stay here but they're nowhere to be found.

Ring, ring

Dazai: No answer.

Chuuya: I'm sure they're fine. They're not babies, Higuchi and Akutagawa is with them so don't worry too much.

Dazai sighed and stopped the call that wasn't reaching anyone. He just hoped that they're alright somewhere.

Maybe I'm just spit-balling here but what if this was something completely out of Fyodor's plan? Something he did to rescue Akio or find him. I looked at Dazai to maybe check if he was thinking of the same thing; and sure enough, he smiled at me and whispered;

Dazai: You're so smart, my lady.

My heart may have skipped a beat for a second but I barely showed it. At least I hoped it did.

Chuuya: Tch. Are you guys communicating telepathically now?

Dazai: Not that you would understand, Chuuya but I guess you can know some of what we know.

Chuuya: Don't make it sound like you pity me, you bastard.

We hoped that we were right; That Fyodor lost his marbles, trying to look for Akio. It didn't matter if it was because he loved him or his plan would shatter into pieces if he disappeared. What mattered was the fact that we finally found Fyodor's weakness.

Akio: Are you saying we'll lure Fyodor here by baiting him?

Dazai: Yep.

Akio: And how exactly would you bait someone like him?

Dazai: Through you.

Chuuya: Call Fyodor and tell him where you are and that you need his help.

Akio: you really think he'll come running for me? Are you serious..

Dazai: Well, just like you said. It's worth a shot.

Akio: Okay, but once he agrees to stop all of this. You have to let him live.

Dazai: He's not someone you could kill easily.

Looking at Dazai's eyes, he had this gaze with a dark feeling. Maybe I was imagining it but I could sense that he knew exactly how to kill Fyodor.

Ring, ring

Akio: Fyodor?

...

Fyodor: Akio, where the hell are you.

Akio: I'm.. At the agency.

Fyodor: I was just there, I got rid of those who might be holding you captive.

Akio: Why do you care if I was held captive? Afraid it'll ruin your plan?

Fyodor: ...

Akio: Fyodor?

Fyodor: I'm going there right now. Dazai, I know you're listening. Let's end this charade so you could give me back what's mine.

What the..

Dazai: Eugh. Didn't take Fyodor as the cheesy romantic type.
