Are we too young for this? (Story 28)

"You wanted to see us boss?" "Ah yes, Dazai and Chuya. I am sending you both out on your first official job today." "I forgot I was partners with this jackass." "Yeah, it's a joy being your stupid partner too." Dazai stuck out his tongue which infuriated Chuya. "Getting back on topic. There is a small rebellious teenage group selling illegal weapons in our city. Most of these teenagers have abilities but nothing too special. They are supposed to have a shipment drop off tonight in an abandoned restaurant. I want both of you to stop this dropoff and secure those weapons. Are we clear?" "Yes, boss." They both said at the same time.

"Wonderful, I trust the both of you will get the job done quickly and quietly." Chuya and Dazai left Mori's office off to their job location. They arrived at the abandoned restaurant, Chuya, and Dazai got on the roof of a building a few roofs away from the restaurant. "The view is perfect from here." "What do we do now?" Chuya sat down looking around, the rooftop they were on was filled with old cigarettes, bird poo, and gum melted into the cement.

"We just wait till the dropoff, I did get us some snacks before we left the Mafia." Dazai held up boxes of Pocky, and potato chips. "Woah?! You are the best!" Chuya grabbed the chips and Pocky from his partner diving into the snacks, Dazai chuckled, "I know I'm the best, no need to rub it in." Chuya shot a glare at him and ate his pocky, Dazai put his food back in his coat pockets saving it for later. The two of them took turns looking out for suspicious activity in the restaurant and taking naps for the next couple of hours. The sun was starting to set creating a beautiful illustration in the sky.

Chuya was on 'look-out' duty as Dazai was snoring. "It's been an hour it's your turn Dazai-" Chuya was interrupted by his stomach growling in hunger. His eyes got caught on the unopened Pocky in Dazai's pocket. Chuya shook his partner's shoulder, "Hey wake up, it's an emergency." It took a few seconds before Dazai shot up from his slumber, he rubbed one eye and a yawn escaped his lips, "Shit, what happened? Is the drop-off happening?" "I'm hungry." Dazai looked at his partner, and Chuya returned the look. "That's the...uh emergency?" Dazai questioned. Chuya nodded in response.

"Well, I guess I could share my pocky." A smirk formed on Dazai's lips, Chuya raised an eyebrow confused, Dazai opened his pocky, put one in his mouth, and pointed to the end of the stick. Chuya glared at him but gave in, he was hungry. He ate the portion that wasn't in Dazai's mouth, Dazai eating his portion until their lips lightly touched. Chuya quickly backed up, "I'm still hungry." He confessed, the two of them were eating pocky, their lips lightly touching with each stick disappearing into their stomachs.

The moon came out shining down on the city providing light, Dazai was on 'look-out' duty as Chuya was closing his eyes until a loud truck pulled up somewhere nearby, "They arrived, its time Chibi. Do you remember the plan?" Chuya got up looking at the restaurant which was now filled with people wearing dark clothing and masks. "Yes, make them surrender." "And if they don't?" "Kill them." "Got it, move on my words." Chuya kept his eyes glued on the truck and the people, he spotted a box filled with riffles and silver handguns. 

"Holy shit-" "Now Chuya," Dazai said jumping off the rooftop, Chuya quickly followed him. "We got 600 more riffles in the truck and some illegal booze." "You are an angel-" "Selling illegal weapons and now alcohol? How low is this Chuya?" "Very low." Dazai and Chuya stood a few feet away, "Shoot those fuckers!" The people started shooting at the two, and Chuya used his ability to send the bullets flying right back at the owners. All of them getting hit and collapsing to the ground, "Shit! Who are you two!? You aren't normal, your devils!" They kept shooting at Dazai and Chuya, Chuya sending the bullets right back into them. "Boss, we are losing our people! We need to use our power-" "I'm afraid I can't let you do that." Dazai touched both the teenager's necks, disabling their abilities.

"What the?! Who are you freaks!?" "The Port Mafia's finest duo." "What do you want?" "To get these illegal weapons and booze out of Yokohama, this shit doesn't need to be in our city." "That's too bad." The boss grabbed a handgun pointing it at Dazai, his hand on the trigger pulling it. "Dazai!" Chuya shouted, he ran towards the boss of the gang, using his ability, his power moved the truck hitting the boss and his side-man, killing them both in the process.

Dazai dodged the bullet, "That was a close one." Dazai looked around, it was so quiet, only the blood pouring out of the victims could be heard. "Well, it looks like they are all dead. Bummer." Dazai went to the truck to investigate the weapons and booze. Chuya stood in the victim puddle of blood, his heart was pounding, and he killed all of them. "They were only dumb kids." He mumbled, his hands shaking in fear of all the dead bodies around him, this was his doing. Their blood splattered on Chuya's face and outfit, and streams of tears left Chuya's eyes without a noise. 

"Holy moly Chibi! There was a total of 700 riffles in that truck, on top of that there were 80 bottles of illegal booze. That type of booze can make a person's heart stop." Dazai closed his notebook and noticed his partner on his knees in a puddle of blood, "Chuya?" Dazai rushed towards his partner, "Are you alright?-" "Are we too young for this Dazai?" Chuya's tears were falling into the puddle of blood. Dazai let a sigh escape his lips, "I heard a feeling this emotion was gonna hit you sooner or later." Dazai mumbled, he knelt to Chuya and rested his hand on his shoulder, "I'm gonna take you to my apartment, your gonna stay the night with me and clean up and eat a proper meal, okay?" Chuya managed to nod in response, Dazai got up extending his hand to Chuya, Chuya took his hand and walked back to Chuya's motorcycle. 

Chuya wrapped his arms around Dazai's waist, his face pressed up against Dazai's back, Dazai smiled to himself driving to his apartment. Once they arrived Dazai showed Chuya the shower, "Here, take a shower while I go back to the headquarters." "Shouldn't I come with you?" "No, don't worry about it okay? I got this covered. I'll be fast." Chuya got in the shower, and Dazai left a pair of his shirt and shorts on his bed for Chuya. He got back on Chuya's motorcycle heading back to the Mafia's headquarters. 

"I sent some people out there to collect the illegal weapons and booze." "Perfect, where is Chuya, Dazai?" "Oh, Chuya wasn't feeling well the whole time, he's at his place right now resting." "Well, at least he managed to get the job done." "Yep, ill be taking my leave now." "Okay, goodnight Dazai." Mori closed his book looking out his office window, "Ah, the city feels safer now." 

"Chuya? I'm back." Dazai walked into his bedroom, Chuya was sitting on his bed wearing Dazai's shirt and shorts, his hair was still wet from the shower, and it lay on his shoulder like usual. His eyes meant Dazai's visible eye, "Thank you for this." 

Dazai took off his black coat sitting next to Chuya, "There's no need to thank me." Their bodies were inches apart. "Chuya, this job is only gonna get deadly. If you wanna quit-" "No. I don't wanna quit Dazai. I just didn't wanna kill those kids, they were just kids our age." Dazai was quiet, Chuya laid his head on Dazai's chest crying. He put his arm around Chuya massaging it, "Chuya..." Chuya raised his head, his eyes were red and puffy, and the tears were smudged on his cheeks. Dazai gently placed his hand on top of Chuya's hand, "Maybe, there is light at the end of the tunnel for us." Chuya was taken aback by his words, "You think so?" "Yeah, there is light for us Chuya." Dazai smiled comfortingly, Chuya smiled back resting his head back on Dazai's chest.

Current Day, (Age 23):

The winter air was cold, flowing through Dazai's brunette hair. The trees were swaying side to side, and Dazai was looking into the Yokohama river that glittered in the sunlight, ducks flying straight into the water. The sunlight hit Dazai's face, he looked up into the sun, "I found my light, you will reach that light soon Chuya." He smiled to himself, "Dazai-kun, we are heading out to the restaurant come on!" Atsushi called, "I wish you could join me Chibi." Dazai smiled to himself before heading off with the Armed Detective Agency.
