Now I'm 22 already. It's been how many?
About 7 years! Can't believe it's been so long and I'm still alive. Wow.

I was just chilling in a cafe with a friend, Odasaku. He's a really nice friend and he takes care of orphans.

Soon I noticed a weird guy staring at me. He looked like he was interested in me but there was also a pretty looking woman behind me so that was probably the reason (or so I thought).

He was really funny looking. His hair looked like crabs legs. And he was short. Kind of reminding me of my dear friend Chuuya. Especially his eyes. They were just like his. Like beautiful sapphire. I tried to ignore him.

When Oda left I was still in the cafe finishing my tea. The ginger guy came up to me and said I look familiar. I thought it was quite random to tell someone that they look familiar but I felt the same way  so I started thinking about it.

Hmm... Nope I don't know..he can't be Chuuya. It must be a coincidence. There are many people who look alike. And Chuuya... He's dead.

I asked him his name.

"I don't even know actually... I don't remember my real name but people call me Cullen." - Cullen

What a funny name.

I told him my name is Dazai. His eyes went big for a second but then he said

" I don't remember anyone named Dazai."

Damn I thought I was famous. But I guess not. He asked me if I have a place for him to stay in for a few days. The only place was my house. He was a complete stranger, I know. But there was something about him that made me feel... Interesting feelings.

I showed him my house.

"I have only one bed but I have a couch so you can sleep on that. You can explore a bit but not too much and if you have any questions, ask me." - Dazai

"Thank you Dazai! I just woke up from a long coma so don't remember anything and I don't have a place to stay in. You're a life saver." - Cullen

When it was about 3am. I woke up because I felt something heavy on my bed. I thought it was a demon at first but when I turned the small lamp on it was just Cullen. Or who knows maybe he's a demon too.

"What are you doing here Chuuya? Scared to sleep alone huh?" - Dazai

"Who's Chuuya?" - Cullen

I realized I accidentally called him Chuuya because he looks like him so much.

"Oh I'm sorry he was a good friend and he looked like you so much." -Dazai

"Looked? What happened to him? Is he not with you anymore?" - Cullen

"He got killed" - Dazai

"I'm so sorry to hear that... If you want you can call me Chuuya, I don't have a name anyway." - Cullen(Chuuya?)

"Fine I will call you Chuuya. If you like that name. But still what are you doing here?" - Dazai

"Oh uhh... I- I just heard something and It was quite creepy so I wanted to sleep next to you if that's okay" - Chuuya

*Giggles* "Don't worry it's totally fine Chuuya" - Dazai

"You're red Dazai. Should I be worrying?" - Chuuya

"Oh it's nothing it's probably because it's so hot in here" - Dazai

"Oh you're right you're sweating a lot, I'll open the window" -Chuuya

Just talking like that saying Chuuya's name makes me blush and sweat? It feels like I'm actually talking to him and it makes my heart race. I think something is wrong with me.

Author: Yeah Dazai. Something really is wrong with you.

And by the way the part when Dazai said Chuuya instead of Cullen was my mistake. So I decided to leave it like that ;).
