Selfish Dream. (Story 24)

"Oh, Chuya!" Dazai chimed walking up to his mafia partner, "What is it now Dazai?" Chuya glared in annoyance, "I have a date tonight! With a lovely girl hehe!" Chuya stopped in his tracks, "Wait really? How did you manage to find a girl that will commit suicide with you?" "Because I have irresistible charms" Dazai smirked at his partner and kept walking towards his office, "Jackass," Chuya mumbled under his breath following his partner.

Both Dazai and Chuya were researching a small gifted gang forming in the streets of Yokohama, their research took their whole day, and the sun started to set behind the bridge in the city. Dazai got up with a wide smile on his face, "Alright Chibi! I'm off on my date! Wish me luck!" Dazai grabbed his black coat leaving his office. Chuya cursed under his breath, he slammed his fist into his small desk shattering it. "That should be me with him damn it." He had a single tear leave his eye dripping down his cheek.

He grabbed his phone calling Kōyō, "Hey, are you available right now, id like to train for an hour or two." Chuya looked at Dazai's desk, a sigh escaping his lips. "Really? Okay, I will be there shortly." Chuya hung up grabbing his pork pie hat and black coat leaving to go train with Kōyō. As an hour passed, Chuya and Kōyō's training session came to an end, and Kōyō had to attend an emergency mission. "Thank you for training with me." Chuya bowed in gratitude, as sweat droplets dripped down his face and neck. "Heh, you are welcome. Goodnight Chuya Nakahara." She grabbed her umbrella leaving the training room. 

Chuya chugged his water bottle then grabbed his belongings and left the Mafia's headquarters. "I wonder how that asshole's date is going..." Chuya got angry and upset saying that out loud, he likes Dazai, and he would do anything in the world to be with him every day of his life. Chuya looked up at the dark sky, the moon was the biggest and brightest source of light, with some stars here and there. A figure standing on the Yokohama bridge's edge caught his attention, could it be? Chuyas' blue eyes widen, "Shit that's him." 

Chuya ran towards the bridge, his heart was pounding out of his chest, Chuya had to stop Dazai. Chuya finally reached the bridge, "Osamu!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, the yelling caught Dazai's attention, and he turned to face his mafia partner standing a few feet away from him out of breath. The moonlight hit Dazai, he smiled as he stepped backward falling. Chuya's eyes widen, and his heart and body froze for a second before his heart pushed Chuya to run after him, and that's what he did.

He jumped off the bridge following Dazai. His eyes widen seeing his mafia partner falling down with him, "Chuya! Go back!" Chuya crashed into Dazai, and he held him tightly. Dazai wrapped his arms around Chuya, he disabled Chuya's ability by touching him. Chuya felt Dazai disable his ability, his eyes widen, "Chuya.." "Osamu please let me use my ability."

Chuya partially begged him, "Are you scared?" Dazai looked into his partner's blue iris, they were trembling sclera. "Yes. But I'm terrified of being alone." They were both quiet, "We are gonna crash soon Chibi." Dazai smiled, and his selfish dream came true, he was able to commit a double suicide. Dazai was at peace, and it felt like nothing when they hit the cold ground. No pain, no regret. Nothing but acceptance and love.

"My head...hurts." Chuya woke up with a bright light shining on his face, he heard noises, and he looked at his arm seeing an IV in his arm, a heart machine capturing his own heartbeats. "Ah, Chuya. You are finally awake, how are you feeling?" Mori stood up closing his book, "My head hurts like hell..." Chuya's eyes widen, and his memories came flooding back into his head.

He and Dazai jumped off the bridge together. Chuya sprang up in the hospital bed, his heart rate increasing with his movements, "Sir, where is Dazai? He was with me." Mori was quiet, he walked over to the side table next to Chuya's hospital bed. He placed a clove-shaped necklace on the table, "When you are feeling hundred percent, please report to my office." Mori left the room shutting the door behind him. 

Chuya reached over grabbing the necklace, the clove gem had a crack in it. He covered his mouth, Dazai didn't survive the crash, and tears started forming in Chuya's eyes eventually turning into sobs and screams.
