Chuuya walked around the school with Dazai for about 15 minutes, giving him a quick tour of the classes and picking up his timetable on the way to class. 

"Oh wow we have a lot of classes together." Chuuya said he looked at the time-table. "Yeah. Wait what does club mean?" Dazai asked as he looked at the time table too. 

"Oh-club is this one extra thing we're required to do for the year. I'm in the basketball club. There are tons of options for you to choose from." Chuuya explained, looking at the bandaged brunet. 

He couldn't shake the feeling that he knew Dazai from somewhere. 

"What kind of-" Dazai began but he was cut off by Chuuya. "I'm sorry, do I know you from somewhere? Like, have we met before?" He said. 

Dazai gave him a surprised look,  and then something flickered on his face. 

"No. I don't think we know each other. I would remember someone as short as you." He said, shrugging. 

Chuuya glared at him, sudden anger surging through "Shut up I'm not that short. You're too tall, Burj Khalifa." 

"Aw Chibi~ We're already at the nickname stage?" Dazai said with mock awe in his voice. 

Chuuya flipped him off. "As if, dipshit. I have better shit to do so let's wrap up this tour quickly." He said walking again. 

Somehow, Chuuya could sense that Dazai was talking more and making more jokes with him. After another short fight about his height, they finally reached their first class, just as the bell rung. 

"Just in time." Chuuya said as they walked inside. 

"You can sit anywhere you want, for the first day." Chuuya looked over at Dazai, and then walked towards where familiar people were sitting. 

"Wait you aren't gonna sit with me?" He heard Dazai ask from behind. 

"No." Chuuya replied with a middle finger and heard Dazai snort. 


"This was so fucking exhausting." Chuuya sighed as soon as he sat down.  

"Tell me about it." Akutagawa grumbled, also looking fed up with school. 

Chuuya raised his eyebrows as Higuchi filled him in. "That white-haired kid and Akutagawa do not get along. First time I've seen him that close to committing a murder." She laughed, looking at Akutagawa. 

"He started it. Stupid him and his stupid questions and stupid personality and stupid luck." Akutagawa fumed, earning a snort from Chuuya. "What the hell did he do to you? I thought you were into him." 

Akutagawa now turned to glare him. "I hate him. His existence pisses me off." 

Chuuya shook his head, and was about to say something, when a loud scraping of a chair made his attention falter. 

There was Dazai, looking mildly amused, and some other new kid with long, black hair looking equally smug. 

And they looked like they were going to commit murders, right then and there. 

"Your buddy seems very feisty." Gin said, also looking back. 

"You have no idea." Chuuya sighed, and then the teacher came, and oh joy. School. 


The bell rang, and Dazai cracked his neck, yawing. First day and this bastard was already teaching. As if this day wasn't stressful enough. 

And he had to share first period with Fyodor. 

His luck was fucked. 

Well, at least Chuuya didn't remember him. Although he was a little disappointed that the redhead didn't remember their night together, maybe it was for the best. 

He didn't need more things to harm his new reputation here. 

Fyodor was already a chink in the armor. But Dazai had rumors on him too. They were the demon brothers, after all

One didn't suffice. 

Dazai walked to the door, checking his time table. God, he had maths next. This was turning out to be a really shitty day. 

Dazai didn't particularly hate school. He was frankly really good at studies. The thing he hated was the way schools worked. It always seemed too stiff and suffocating. Children were supposed to learn educational and life skills here, instead all they learnt was how to stay up all night and anxiety with a hint of depression and anger issues. 

He walked away, forgetting to say bye to Chuuya. 

Smacking himself on the forehead, he turned around to say bye, only to be greeted with the sight of Chuuya hugging some ginger with a bandage on his nose. 

Dazai narrowed his eyes. 

Was Chuuya dating that guy? Were they something? Exes? Lovers? Besties? 

Wait- Why the fuck was he so bothered? 

Dazai turned around before Chuuya could spot him and hurried to his maths class, not liking the way this day was progressing. 

As soon as he reached his class, he was greeted by some dude with a bad hair dye job shouting in his face. 

"You're about 3 minutes late! What explanation do you for yourself?" The dude shouted. 

"Oh um-" Dazai flinched, trying to not be too rude. "I'm new so I got lost. I'm Dazai. And you are?" 

The dude looked at him, up and down. "I'm Doppo Kunikida. Nice to meet you, Dazai. Don't be late again." 

Dazai nodded and went to sit on the first empty chair he came across. 

A emo looking dude was sitting in front of him, and he looked very familiar to Dazai. He tapped the boy on his shoulder and said, "Hey." 

The dude looked around and said, "Hello." 

"I'm Dazai Osamu. What about you?" 

"Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Nice to meet you." 

Dazai chatted with the boy until the teacher came, and then Dazai had to shut up, or get scolded. (Which he did did not mind, in fact he loved making teachers mad.) 

Concentrating in class became a bore, and Dazai stopped paying attention to whatever the teacher were saying. He probably knew it all anyway. 

He starting dreaming about something else, slightly dozing away. And he dreamed of fire. Not fire that would burn him, a fire that left him warm and cozy. 

Fire that made him feel at home. 

The bell rung and Dazai woke up with a start, feeling cold suddenly. 

That fire.... he was suddenly craving fire.
