Soukoku Mini Stories

Port Mafia Executive. (Story 37)

"Greetings Chuya, how are you doing?" Kōyō invited Chuya to their weekly afternoon tea, she was his mentor after all. Chuya sat down at the rounded table taking off his hat, "It was fine I guess, what about yours?" "The usual, just taking care of Kyouka and attending utterly boring meetings." Chuya laughed at her sarcasm, "Dazai told me Mori has a mission for us both next week." "Oh? This is your third mission with Osamu?" "Yep, I'm looking forward to it. Can't disappoint the boss." Kōyō sipped on her tea looking at the office windows, she placed her teacup down and cleared her throat. "Chuya."

Chuya raised an eyebrow, "Is something the matter?" He could tell her mood changed into a serious matter. "Osamu Dazai is officially an executive now of the Port Mafia." Chuya was stunned, his eyes widen hearing what his mentor told him. "Wait for real? Like, your serious?" She nodded her head in response, "I hope I can become an executive too one day with Dazai." "I know you can Chuya Nakahara. You can achieve it." She smiled, and Chuya smiled back, and both of them enjoyed their tea session for the rest of the afternoon. Eventually, Kōyō had to attend a meeting. Chuya grabbed his hat and headed back to his and Dazai's inn room in the Port Mafia where they stayed together.

Chuya unlocked the door, the room was empty, and he started preparing celebration decorations for his partner. He got a fresh bouquet of pink and white tulips from a local flower shop, he placed the vase with the tulips on the table. He got expensive whiskey and two glasses out for both of them. Chuya looked at his decor and smiled to himself, he was sure Dazai would love it. He snapped out of his thoughts as he heard the door unlock, "Congratulations on the promotion Dazai!" Chuya beamed, the excitement was in his voice. 

Dazai looked at him with an emotionless face, he walked past Chuya heading into his bedroom, he slammed his door behind him. Chuya stood in the kitchen stunned, "The hell? Ungrateful bastard." Chuya rolled his eyes and plopped down on the couch in the main area going on his phone for a few minutes, a few minutes passed by and Dazai still hasn't come out of his room. Chuya started to get worried, "What is that bastard doing..." He got up and grabbed the alcohol and two glasses heading to Dazai's bedroom. He knocked, "Dazai, you doing okay? Want a drink?" No response.

Chuya got a rush of anxiety, he used his ability to kick down the door, only to find his window open. "Shit! That son of a bitch!"Chuya rushed towards the window, he climbed the ladder to the rooftop seeing his partner laying there. "Dazai! You are an idiot! What the fuck are you doing!?" Chuya yelled upset with his partner, he walked over to his partner, and Dazai's visible eye meant Chuya's angry blue eyes. "Oh hey. Took you long enough Chibi." Chuya hissed, "What the fuck Dazai-" "Let us just admire the stars in the sky and drink our sorrows away." Dazai offered, Chuya looked at him giving in. He laid down next to Dazai, "Thank you." Chuya turned his head to look at his partner, "Huh? For what?" "For the flowers, drinks, and your presence. Thank you for staying by my side Chibi." Chuya blushed hearing his words, "You are welcome I guess." "Pour me a glass?" "Yeah." Chuya opened up the whiskey pouring himself and Dazai a drink. 

"Thank you." Dazai took his drink from Chuya, "Oh, what should we toast to?" Chuya looked at his partner about to take a sip, "Uh, you getting promoted?" Dazai held his glass in the air, "To me becoming executive, and to Chuya Nakahara!" Chuya held up his glass, clinking their glasses together, they both took a long sip of their whiskey and stargazed together. Chuya rested his glass down, Dazai was in a love trance with the stars, he placed his hand on Dazai's hand. Their hands intertwined together.
