Before this day could end, Chuuya won't just let it slide. That image of Dazai stealing you away from him was an itch that won't stop pestering the short man.

And so, Chuuya confronted Dazai who's just hanging out by the railing of the balcony with the cool wind lightly blowing away his hair. The port mafia executive joined his ex-partner as he calmly rested his arms on top of the wooden railing.

Dazai's eyes slid to the left where he could see Chuuya bowing his head down as if he's looking below everything else that can be seen on the ground floor.

"Eh, Chuuya..? What are you doing here invading my space?" he spoke, sounding like a disgusting tone.

Chuuya didn't care to look at the man as he clicked his tongue at him and said, "Tch. Aren't you the one invading someone else's space?"

"I came here first."

"No, dumbass! I wasn't referring to you. The little detective lady. You're obviously being too touchy on her. Are you harassing her or what?"

Dazai bursted out laughing as soon as he heard the man's statement, even pointing at him as if Chuuya just made himself a laughingstock.

The gingerhead swiftly turned his head to the man laughing with furrowed eyebrows and his hand secretly forming a fist.

Dazai responded after he had a good laugh, "Why would I do such a thing? Plus, why are you so pressed about it?", he then formed a smirk on his face.

Chuuya straightly stood up with his back and faced his body to the man as he replied with an outraged expression showing, "Would you back off? You're pissing me off more than ever."

"Oh~? So the pipsqueak is picking a fight over a lady? How immature!"

"This isn't a fight."

"Then what are you trying to say this whole time?"

"Do you really think this is some kind of game to you? You can't just play with her feelings!"

"Haha! That's very funny, Chuuya. But..."

Dazai paused for a while as he returned his view back at the beautiful scenery of nature then continued to speak now with a dropped grin and a serious look. "I was never playing with Y/n's feelings. All I ever did was show her my true self. Nothing...more."

Chuuya's comeback were put to a stop and couldn't say anything else for a while. All he did was just stare at nothingness. His vision darkened as if he saw the world breaking apart. Maybe it was only his world?

"That...can't be. I-I didn't... I would've felt it! I would be the first to know since I was your former partner!" Chuuya tried to fight back but Dazai only gazed at him with a soft expression on his face.

Chuuya's tensioned expression transitioned to a deadly glare as he spoke with a sharp tone, "Y/n belongs to me."

After a few moments of silence, Dazai finally broke the farce and revealed to him everything. As he was again laughing at the man, he said, "I was just kidding, Chuuya! Of course I've been knew that a long time ago already!"

"W-What..? How long have you known this?! Answer me!" Chuuya rushed towards him and aggressively grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.

"You can never hide anything from your partner, right? I already knew right from the beginning because of the change of your heartbeat every time she's near you. It was that simple." Dazai placed Chuuya's hands back to his side then fixed his strained shirt.
