This world is only going to break your Heart. (Story 34).

Dazai and Chuya; Age 16:

"I swear I wasn't behind the explosion! I swear! Please spare me my life!" Dazai rolled his eyes, Chuya evilly chuckling, "What do you say, partner? Do we spare this asshole's life?" Chuya looked at the pleading man who was tied up against a pillar. "Hmm, give us your boss's name on a sliver plater and we'll spare your life." Dazai smirked at the man, "Alright! Alright, it's Donovan Creek! Please!" Chuya looked at his partner, Dazai pulled his gun out of his coat pocket, "Thank you, enjoy your time in the afterlife." "No!! Wait-" Bang, multiple gunshot noises echoed around the empty room. "Chuya, we gotta get out of here." Dazai and Chuya ran out of the area laughing like maniacs together.

"So what do we do now since we got the leader's name?" Dazai let a yawn escape his mouth, "Nothing for tonight, it is getting late out. We can pick this up tomorrow, I'm so sleepy Chibi!" Chuya chuckled, "Yeah I could use a good night's sleep myself." They looked at each other than around them, Dazai spotted a pickup truck stopped at a red light. "I found us a ride Chibi." Before Chuya could respond Dazai grabbed his arm and led him to the truck, they both hopped in the back laughing together, the driver didn't seem to notice them.

"Damn Dazai you're a genius." "I know" He teased. Both of them sat side by side each other, talking about today's mission and cracking jokes. The moon shined down in the city, stars filling up the dark sky with its light. The two of them still on the back of the pickup truck, Chuya fell silent and rested his head on Dazai's shoulder. "Are you tired? You can close your eyes-" "Dazai." "Yeah? What's up?"

Chuya let a sigh escape his lips, "I hope one day I can change the world." "Pfft, you think you can be superman now? What has gotten into you Chibi?" "I don't wanna change the world to please Mori, or please the other executives in the Mafia, or anyone for the matter. I wanna change the world to please myself." Dazai started laughing, "Chibi, are you on something? What are you talking about? Your talking total baloney." 

Dazai looked at his Mafia partner, Chuya eye's were glued on the full moon in the dark sky. Dazai stopped himself from laughing, he could sense Chuya wasn't joking around. "Oh, are you serious Chuya?" "Yeah." Chuya looked at his partner with a smile on his face, Dazai felt his cheeks heating up, he was blushing. Dazai playfully punched Chuya's arm, "If you wanna be Superman you gotta grow a few more inches first." "You asshole!" Both of them joked around, eventually, they hopped out of the pickup truck and headed to their shared apartment room in the Port Mafia's headquarters.

 4 years ago; Age 18.

Chuya took his seat at the round table, and all the executives of the Port Mafia were seated as well, including the leader, Mori. There was one empty seat. "I wish I had uplifting news but unfortunately I don't." Mori cleared his throat, Chuya was anxious, he was around Port Mafia executives. He is only a member, nothing special.

"Osamu Dazai has abandoned the Port Mafia. He left me a letter saying he will no longer be in the Mafia with us." The room was silent, Chuya's blue eyes widened upon hearing this news, and he clenched his fists in anger that his partner didn't tell him he was leaving, this was so sudden. There was a sharp pain in Chuya's chest, "Since we lost an executive member, I must choose someone to fill an executive position."

Mori's purple eyes landed on Chuya, "Chuya Nakahara, you were Dazai's partner for a few years. You have an extraordinary ability, I want you to become an executive." Mori had a devilish smirk on his face, Chuya's heart was pounding in his chest, he can get to look at his personal paper files now, and he will be more respected in the organization. "Chuya, do you accept this proposal?" "I do sir, and I will not let you down." "Excellent." Mori chuckled devilishly. "Meeting dismissed." "Congratulations Chuya." Kōyō got up from her seat, she was Chuya's mentor when he first joined the Mafia. Chuya respected her, and she respected Chuya.

"Thank you." Chuya's cheeks heated up with everything, he just became a Port Mafia Executive, and his mentor congratulated him. But, he was still hurting over Dazai leaving him without a word, he just vanished from Chuya and that broke Chuya's heart and filled it with anger. "Let's have tea tomorrow afternoon." "Sure thing." Kōyō left the meeting room and went into the elevator, Chuya was the only person in the meeting room now. He clenched his shirt, "Damn you Dazai...What the hell man." Chuya got to the apartment he and Dazai shared, he went into Dazai's room, and it was wiped clean. There wasn't a single trace of Dazai's presence ever there. 

Chuya clenched his fists with anger and sadness mixed. "Fuck you Dazai..." Tears started dripping down Chuya's cheeks as he threw lamps, a nightstand, pillows, and cellphone chargers across the room in frustration. "You suck! You are an asshole! You were just sleeping here last night! We were talking together! Why didn't I see the signals?! Why didn't I see this coming?!" Chuya opened one of the dresser drawers and found A few of Dazai's bandage rolls. More tears started dripping down his cheeks, he opened the bedroom window and threw the rolls out of the window, as he threw them he cursed out. "Fuck you for leaving me! Screw you! Go to hell you asshole! I hate you so much you bastard!" 

Chuya went to the fridge snatching a red wine bottle, he chugged the entire bottle down within seconds. He threw the empty wine bottle across the room, the bottle shattering into pieces. "Heh, that shattered like my heart." 

Detective Agency VS Port Mafia. (Age 23):

Chuya was sitting up against a tree for support, there were small fires around him, followed by explosions. It was a war against the two ability organizations; the Port Mafia and Detective Agency. Chuya had a fatal wound on his abdomen, and a few gunshot wounds on his arms and legs. Blood dripped from his chin and nose onto the grass below him. "This might be it for me huh?" Chuya smiled to himself until a figure walking up to him caught his attention.

"Well well, if it isn't shitty Dazai." Dazai knelt to his former Mafia partner, who was bleeding out, "Chuya." Dazai quickly pointed a gun at Chuya's head. Chuya cracked a smile, "You came all the way here to kill me? Am I that special to you?" "You are." Chuya choked out blood, getting the blood on Dazai's tan coat and pale face. "If you're gonna kill me asshole do it. Get it over with." Dazai put his finger on the trigger but didn't pull it. "What are you waiting for? Pull the trigger." Chuya looked at his former mafia partner, "I can't."

Dazai let a defeated sigh escape his lips as he put away his gun. "Why the hell not? I am your enemy aren't I?" "You are not my enemy." "Oh really?" "Chuya, I want to see you change the world. I know you can." Chuya's dark blue eyes widen, memories flooding back in his head to that night he and Dazai were in the back of that pickup truck. "You...remembered that night?" "I replay it in my head about a thousand times daily." Chuya's cheeks heated up, and he was flustered. 

"Chuya Nakahara, you have a special place in my dull heart." "Asshole-" "The following day after I left the Mafia, I saw you in my apartment room throwing my shit out of the window." Chuya's eyes widen as he looked at Dazai, "You...Did you see me? What?!" "Indeed, I was on another rooftop nearby watching you. It killed me not to tell you I was leaving but it was for the best-" "You bastard! You left me without a word! You don't get it, the night before you vanished you were just fine! You seemed yourself, we were joking around with each other until we fell asleep together in your stupid bed!" Chuya had tears dripping down his cheeks, Dazai sighed and cupped Chuya's face.

"It was for the best. Trust me Chuya." He gently placed a kiss on top of Chuya's head getting a little blood on his lips. "Go get those wounds taken care of." Dazai got up and left his wounded partner there, under the tree. "Damn you Dazai..."
