~flashback~

"DAZAI!", I hear as i turn behind to face Chuuya who was currently red-faced

"Yes?", I say as I turn to face him

"Y-You got me something for my birthday?", he says as he pants after 

"Well yeah? Its April 29th right?", I say as I lower my gaze a bit to see him raise his head

"Well yeah but-", he says but i cut him off and say something before he could finish

"Chuuya, just enjoy it", I say before walking away from him

"WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH A MOTORCYLE I DONT HAVE A PERMIT YET!"

"oh, well deal with it"

"Dazai!" He turns to face me and I quickly run up to give him a hug

"Thanks for the gift", I release him swiftly but I turn to see his face, almost shining 3 different shades of pink

"Whatever", He turns away but I stood there processing the meaning of that. Dazai rarely shows emotions, maybe only when with Odasaku and me, but i rarely see them too, and why would he be... flustered?

~flashback (age 17)~

"Dazai, happy birthday", I hand him a rope. Brown, kind of falling apart but still sturdy, he looked at me with the most confused expression on his face, I laughed at him before handing him a Louis Viton keychain, it cost a pretty penny but compared to the motorcycle he got it was nothing

"Thanks...", he looked at it before taking it from my hand, his fingers brushing my palm, he attached it to his car key, which he did steal from a mafia member, but who really cared

"It's whatever", I say, standing quite awkwardly, not sure how to interpret his almost nonexistent reaction

"No, its nice", he looked at me and gave me a hug, i could recall what I did when he gave me a motorcycle for my birthday. I could feel my cheeks heating up and face getting red, I quickly pulled away, I could see from the side that Dazai was smirking at me

"Wipe that smirk off your face", He laughs a bit before taking my hand in his and handing me something, it was a collar, I glared at him, knowing what this meant but he just smiled like he always does

"How about we take the car for a ride?", I smiled at him and nodded, a few moments later we were speeding through Yokohama streets, not caring about a thing happening outside for once

"Chuu-Chuu, remember that promise we made two years ago", I looked at him, his eyes still glued to the steering wheel

"The one where we would get married? Yeah why?", I look out the window, wind brushing through my hair, while it blows his away

"You know why I posed that?", I was interested when I first heard I wondered why but i figured he was joking around or something

"No, why?", I look up to the ceiling of the car, waiting for his grueling answer

"It's because I realized I liked you", I turn my head to face his but he was Already looking at me, I felt heat almost immediately rush to my cheeks, I wanted to hide my face but it would make it obvious

"Stop joking around", I look away, almost scared to meet his eyes again, I gave the though about it before for a brief period but I wasn't expecting it to be true

"I'm not",  he pulls up the car to the sideline and cups his hands on my cheeks, turning my head and kissing me, I was surprised, but I always partly knew that I liked him, no matter how annoying and frustrating he was at times, I knew that he could also be serious, and admittedly kind of hot when angry, I kiss him back, closing my eyes and running my right hand through his hair

"You should've told me earlier", I place my forehead against his, panting from the lack of breath, he smirks at me before giving me a quick peck to my lips

"If I had known you liked me too I would've said something", I laughed, imagining a Dazai who was unsure for the first time, he is always so confident with everything, I just assumed that this was one of the actions he was confident of too

"So are we still getting married by 22?", Dazai asked, smirking at me, I wanted to punch him but withstood myself from doing 

"Only if you want me when we're 22"

"As if I would ever not want you, I've wanted you since we were 15"

~flashback (age 18)~

"Cmon Dazai pick up", I say franticly calling Dazai, I had 140 missed calls from him, I was out on a mission and forgot my phone at home because I didn't think anyone would've called me

I was on a train back to Yokohama from Kyoto. I was still calling him to no avail, I would be lying if I were not worried about him, especially since this is one of the first times I've been away from him for so long. It had been 3 weeks since I've seen him and honestly craving some of his Sushi but I was more excited to see him

As I arrived home I opened our shared room, it was a mess. Clothes scattered everywhere, almost half of our groceries missing and the room in a general mess. I look at the room and almost all of his clothes were gone, I look the washroom and see all his stash of bandages gone and toothbrush missing. I immediately run to see whether he had taken his shoes as well and to no surprise it was gone too. Had he left when I was gone? Then what was the 140 missed calls for?

I look at the kitchen counter and see a note plastered on top of it, 'Chuu If I ever see you again please forgive me, don't forget about our promise, please?', I almost break the fucking table when I see it, Don't forget about the promise? How could I, it's what I think of whenever I can't see you, Please forgive me? How could I even fathom to hate the person I dreamed the rest of my life with, how could I hate my partner in crime, my boyfriend for fucks sake.

I pack up my things immediately, unlike him I don't scatter everything everywhere and I don't make a mess of the kitchen nor the bedroom. I lock the door, burying the urge to burn all our pictures, all the letters and the destroy the phone which we used to talk to each other with. I show up in front of Kyouyo's apartment

"Hello?", she opens the door to see me, drenched in the rain and with multiple suitcases

"Chuuya? What happened?", I look at her, I usually hate to be seen as weak but this time was fine, tears form in my eyes and they start to fall on my face, once they start the don't stop

"Dazai left, he packed up everything, left a note and left and I think its not just for jokes this time"
