I love you..

Chapter 7

Dazai's POV:

I finished putting the bandages on Chuuya's face but he hadn't noticed I finished because he was too busy petting hazel and hugging him. "Oh well.. imma go get some food, I'm starving-" I stood up from the couch I was sitting on, and was about to go into the kitchen when I got stopped "Oy, where are you going? Is it done already?" I didn't turn around, but instead just sighed. "Yes, it is, Chuuya." I went into the kitchen and closed the door behind me, took take some snacks that he adores just to piss him, when I was about to open the door again to the living room, I heard Chuuya talk to somebody, so instead of opening the door, I leaned on it and listened to his conversation.. "Hazel.. you remind me so much of him.." he started "but why.. you have the same eyes as him.. and- I despise him! He's an asshole! But.. what if.."

He stopped talking when he must have noticed me because the door itself was transparent, and I saw him turn red. "DAZAI!? TF ARE YOU DOING!?" He stood up angrily and rushed to the kitchen door to open it, making me fall to the ground. "Ow.." I said while he was looking at me, with deep anger. "HOW DARE YOU LISTEN TO SOMEONE'S CONVERSATION!? WHAT ABOUT THE PRIVACY OF THE OTHER!?"

"Were you talking about me, Chibi?~"

"Huh? W- Why would talk about you, Dazai."

"Because.. I know I'm GORGEOUS and all, but no need to keep a secret, you know, especially to your old buddy Dazai!~"

"First, no, and second, no! You're looking d- disgusting and we're not buddies!"

"Admit it, I'm good-looking."

"No."

We went on in that argument for over 5 minutes until he stopped, and I did too, we're acting very childish for our age, I must admit. I decided to leave his place before I get myself killed there, so I took the bandage kit I took with me, put my shoes and coat on, and left his house. While I was walking down the stairs of the building, I put on my headphones and started playing my suicidal music.

The next day, I was waking up at my usual time, except it wasn't my alarm, but a message. And before even checking who it was, I immediately knew, but my curious ass was well- curious, so I took my phone, still half asleep to check it:

From: Atushi :]

We need to talk about what happened yesterday, and you will not tell a word to Chuuya. Is that understood, Dazai-San?

My eye lit up. "I need to know if they are actually dating or not! And of course, I'll tell Chuuya.. that kid doesn't know me at all, does he?" I quickly jumped out of my bed, all excited to know the news! Buttttttt.. I took my time, well, took SO MUCH time, that when I arrived, I saw kunikida staring at me.. "YOU'RE 39 MINUTES AND 13 SECONDS LATE, DAZAI!" I wasn't listening to any of his screams, instead, was trying to find Atsushi to talk to him. But after searching for 'sooooo long' I was exhausted so I jumped on the couch and went scrolling through random stuff on my phone, but ended up falling asleep. When I woke up once again, I felt someone staring at me.. "hello, Dazai! How did you rest! Well, I suppose good?" I froze for a second but turned my head to notice Atsushi sitting on a chair beside me. "Heyyyy... so, tell me, what were you doing with Akutagawa yesterday at the park?"

"Well uhh.." he cleared his throat and continued "Aku and I started hanging out.. sure, he still despises me and acts all dark, mysterious, and stuff, but he's actually a cool guy!"

"So you somehow befriended him and both of you actually hang out together even though he hated you?"

"Pretty much so! And he did compliment on my outfit.. is that unusual from him or..?" I looked at him, blankly. "God.. is he that stupid to realize- do I have to tell him everything by myself!?"

"Dude, Akutagawa never compliments! He clearly likes you! Even I saw it from afar.. literally."

"WHAAAT!?" He blushed so hard, he literally became red.. "HIM!? ME!? THAT'S- A LIE, YEP, ALL LIES! HAHA.." But he took a deep inhale, a deep exhale, and calmed himself down. "But can I know what were you and Chuuya doing? I thought you hated each other too.. well, mostly he hates you, at least that's what he told me."

"How should I explain that I took him out so he would forgive me for teasing him.." I thought of how to put the words right. "Well, Chuuya got mad at me for teasing him for his 'short size', and well- I needed to do something before he could kill me, so I decided to go there. I know he loves parks with those kinds of atmospheres, sooooooo yeah, that's how we ended up there."

"Ooooh, ok.. you two seem close, are you perhaps more than friends? Or just friends.?"

"Oh trust me, we're not even close to friends.. more like.. old partners who just occasionally talk.. but anyways, we should maybe go back to work before kunikida shouts at us."

"Oh don't worry Dazai, he has his glasses on his head, but I said they were in his office, so that should keep him preoccupied.."

"That's my boy!" I put my hand into the air and he high-fived it. We continued talking to each other, telling jokes and I just noticed that his sense of humor is as horrible as mine! Then I heard a vibration and it was Atsushi's phone. I wanted to peek who was calling and I saw "Aku <3" labeled and as the profile picture was then, the day at the park, with Akutagawa wearing the flower crown and himself looking happy beside him. "Soooo.. you sure y'all aren't dating? Because normally you don't put hearts on people you hang out with.." he didn't answer, instead, he looked at me, embarrassed, and left the room to take the call. While waiting for him once again, I took my phone and scrolled through some photos. And I found the one with Chuuya's hair braided and him sleeping. I zoomed in to see the braids, because I was really proud of it, but then- "and what about you? Why were you there when Chuuya was sleeping?"

I turned off my phone, and looked up, seeing Atsushi above me. "Because he was drunk at that moment so some PM members asked me to bring him to his place, and excuse me! His braids are very well-done so I had to take a picture!" I heard some little footsteps coming in our direction, so I decided to peek a little to see who it was, but I noticed Ranpo trying to enter Kunikada's office. "Hey uhh, Ranpo? What are you doing?"

"Shhh, I need some snacks, and I heard from Yosano that he had some in his office, so trying to sneak in and take them, you know?" He entered it and a few seconds after, he got out with bags of snacks and joined us. "Soooo, what were you talking about?" He asked

"Well, you know.. uhh.. love interest I guess? You have one Ranpo?" Ranpo looked rather proud when Atsushi asked him, and he answered "I actually do! Edgar Allan Poe!" I was shocked when he said that name.. wasn't expecting that "wait.. THAT GUY WITH A RACOON? WASNT HE AN ENEMY NOT SO LONG AGO?"

"Oh, you're the one talking Dazai! You basically are publicly flirting with Nakahara Chuuya, and Atsushi, everyone saw you with Akutagawa in the park, I was there too."

"OH COME ON! WE WERE JUST HANGING OUT AS FRIENDS!" To annoy Atsushi a little more, I did the " " thing with my hands and ranpo giggled. "Oh, shall we talk about you Dazai!? You literally take pictures or Chuuya sleeping!"

"Hey! I was taking pictures of the braids I did on him! It's not the same!" When a message popped up on my phone, and when I checked it, I wasn't expecting that:

From: Chuuya :p

Hello, this is Akutagawa typing this. Chuuya is hurt, cause unknown, but he asked not to tell anyone, but I knew I should text you because you seem close. For the record, this will be the last time. -Akutagawa 

"Hey uhh, guys, I gotta go, I'll come back later, tell kunikada I went to buy Ranpo snacks!" I stood up from the couch I was laying on and headed out to the ADA office.
