Psychokinesis (Dazai x Reader)

Chapter 30: Sniper

Dazai: It seems that Ranpo and Naomi were injured and Atsushi had to rescue them. I'm glad they're not badly hurt.

Dazai said as he placed his phone back in his pocket after finally reaching one of the agency members and knowing their current status. I felt quite relieved to know they're alright but I was a lot more worried about Gin, she's my only friend that's alive, after all. 

"Thank goodness they're okay. That explains why no one was in the building" I fiddled with my fingers while standing next to Dazai. 

Chuuya: So, do we wait for Fyodor here?

Dazai: Yep! Unless you're an impatient dog who can't even stand waiting for a few minutes. 

Chuuya: What?! I'm not your stupid dog. And what do we do when he gets here, huh? 

Dazai: Don't worry about it. We give him what he wants and he'll leave us alone. That way, my plan works and I'll be able to kill him.

I wanted to ask him what was he planning to do but I figured that maybe, even if it was me, he wouldn't say it.

Akio: Your plan is garbage. Fyodor won't just waltz in here and risk his life to take me away, he doesn't love me enough to do that. 

Dazai: We'll know soon enough. 

Of course, I predicted that Fyodor wouldn't just walk in and demand for what he wants. He would certainly attack or attempt to kill even anyone of us. And I was right. 

..

Bang!

Dazai: Agh! Y/N, get down!

"What the? That bullet came out of nowhere!" I screamed while trying to stop the bleeding of Dazai's chest that was hit by a sniper which I detected to be a few kilometers away. I clenched my fist as I realized how useless I was; not being able to prevent this from happening despite my ability.

Chuuya: Dazai! 

I saw Chuuya from the side of my eye, running to Dazai's side.

Chuuya: Tch. Get up or you'll get shot again.

Dazai winced from the pain while holding on to my hand which was on top of his wound. I wanted to remove Dazai from plain sight 'cause the chances of him being shot again was big but I had a strong gut feeling that if I used my ability on him, the enemy would take advantage of the fact that I can only carry one thing at a time and attack once my hands are full.

Chuuya: Go, I'll take care of things here.

"but-"

Chuuya: Y/N, take Dazai with you and hide for a while. I'll handle this just like I did before. You trust me, right?

I hesitated for a moment before I answered. All my anger for him just wafted away up in the air and  instantly forgot about the rage I felt because I hated the idea of leaving him again.

"okay..but I just want you to know that I'm sorry fo-

Chuuya: I'm sorry too.

He spoke in a low soft voice, smiling the same way he smiled back then. So I decided to trust him and used my ability to lift Dazai away with me.

I glanced one last time at Chuuya, the mentor who seems to really care for me but I was too naive to see it. And then at Akio who's trembling in fear but somehow looks delighted that someone would shoot to save him. I really thought about how each person that surrounds me has different issues and how crazy it is that we're all messed up in different ways.

"please just hang on for a bit, Dazai. I'll bring you somewhere safe" I uttered while running as fast as I could. He was groaning a lot from the pain considering that he was shot in his chest. I tried to not think about how he's feeling and how I failed to protect him because the more I do, the more I feel like I'm about to tear up.

Dazai: I'm fine..

He spoke in a very gruff and low voice while groaning with his eyes closed.

"What do you mean you're fine? Stop using your energy to talk and just relax 'till I find us a place" I frantically replied, worriedly running forward. 

"a shed" I tiringly said, panting from the exhaustion. I ran inside and laid Dazai on the slightly wrecked bed I glanced at.

Dazai: Go back..

"What?" I stopped moving as soon as I heard him speak.

Dazai: Go..back to the agency.

"What are you saying, I can't leave you here!" I accidentally raised my voice after hearing his ridiculous request. Sometimes, he drives me crazy whenever I fail to understand what he's trying to say.

Dazai: Fyodor would've never entered the agency if I was there. I needed to get shot so he would feel confident enough to actually go in the agency and retrieve Akio..

"Are you saying you let the sniper shoot you?"

Dazai: He wanted to get you out of the picture as well, leaving only the hot-headed Chuuya who forces most of his battles to be physical.

That's right, he might be forced into using Corruption but Dazai won't be there to nullify it. I need to go back.

Dazai: I hate that I might be putting you to dange-

"Don't. It's my job and I finally understand what you're trying to do. Fyodor wouldn't expect me to go back so it's perfect either way."

Dazai: Be careful, okay?

...

He smiled. Is he forgetting that he was literally shot in the chest? But if there's one thing I know, nothing as simple as a gunshot would kill someone like Dazai.

"Please stay alive" I whispered as I walk out of the shed, not looking back at him who's still laying on the torn and damaged bed.

Dazai: I will, for you.
