Don't stop me, Dazai. (Story 31)

This story begins in the prologue/opening of the Bungo Stray Dogs movie: DEAD APPLE, where Port Mafia members; Dazai and Chuya face off against, Tatsuhiko Shibusawa

Chuya clenched his fists hearing the man's words, "Your friends had boring deaths." Anger pumping in his blood streams, he unleashed his corrupt form. "Dazai, don't try to stop me." Dazai let a sigh escape his mouth, "Jeez, using corruption while you're pissed off? Not a good idea Chuya. Your body will be weak-" "Don't stop me jackass." "Okay, I won't stop you then." Dazai stepped backward letting Chuya fight Tatsuhiko Shibusawa.

After the fight, Dazai brought Chuya back to the Port Mafia, he stayed in a spare luxurious bedroom. He was unconscious for two days. Chuya's ocean eyes fluttered open, the sunlight shining brightly outside, "Argh...my head...where am I?" Chuya sat up rubbing his head. Dazai opened the door, "Chuya? Are you awake?" Chuya heard his partner's voice, "Dazai?" His tone was tired but with a hint of confusion. "Yeah, I'm here. Can I come in?" "Uh, sure."

Dazai walked into the bedroom with tray cups and painkillers. He set the tray down on the nightstand, "How are you feeling?" Dazai asked, he gently placed his hand on Chuya's forehead. "Hell, how long was I out?" Chuya asked, "Two days max. You used corruption on your enemy. You remember that right?" Chuya's memories flooded into his head, he remembered the fight. "Oh shit, yeah your right." Dazai gave Chuya two painkillers, and Chuya took them without bickering.

 "Can I get you anything?" Dazai asked, he got up and grabbed the tray ready to exit. "Can you stay with me for a bit?" Chuya requested, his cheeks getting flustered from embarrassment. "Sure." Dazai smiled putting the tray back down, he walked over to the other side of the bed getting in with Chuya, Chuya faced his partner, Dazai looking at him. He gently put his hand on Dazai's hair and untied his eye bandage. The bandage fell between them. "Stay like this for a while with me, will you?" Dazai chuckled as Chuya lay on top of Dazai with a smile on his lips, "Of course."

A couple of hours passed by, and Chuya was in a deep slumber until his phone started vibrating. He woke up grabbing it, it was a text message from Mori, and Chuya responded. He looked over his shoulder seeing Dazai was not in bed with Chuya. "Liar-" Dazai opened the bedroom door, "Hey Chibi, you awake?" Chuyas eyes widen, "Yeah, what are you doing?" "Well, it's technically dinner time so I thought you were hungry. So, I got dinner for you." Dazai walked into the room with store-bought Peyoung Yakisoba. "Woah, Dazai you didn't have to" "Well, see. I tried baking a meal for the both of us but I fucked it up." Dazai chuckled embarrassedly as he gave Chuya the meal, Chuya thanked him and dug into his food.

Dazai got back into the bed sitting next to him, "Dazai, you are freaking me out." "What do you mean?" Chuya finished swallowing a bite of his food, "You never really care this much when I use corruption. The most you do is just tuck me in bed and give me painkillers. So why are you treating me differently now?" Chuya raised an eyebrow taking a bite of his Peyoung Yakisoba. "Honestly, that fight, you were so angry. You wanted revenge so badly, you used all the strength and energy in your body in that battle. I've never seen you use that much strength before in your corruption. When you used corruption before, you would only be out for about a couple of hours, but this time you took two whole days to finally wake up." Chuya finished his meal setting down the tray in his lap, his expression saddened, "Yeah, but I'm thankful you were right there by my side." Chuya extended his fist out to Dazai, and Dazai smiled back fist-bumping him back.
