Two Suicidal Maniacs - Dazai Osamu x female oc(Bungo Stray Dogs)

Chapter 7

Rays came as nature's easel, giving brilliant colour to what was hidden. Dawn bringing a sunlight crown, smiling upward at black heavens, feeling how the passing night welcomes it more with each minute and hour. It was morning, the autumn breeze brushes across Chika's face through the open window, waking the girl up.

I opened my eyes to find the sun shining in from the window, then turned my head to see my school uniform neatly folded on the tatami floor with my bag. I raise my body, and inhaled the fragrant smell of the uniform when putting it on. Did Dazai do all of this in such an early morning? Or did he not sleep...Afterwards, I stepped out of the room, and went to the bathroom, to only notice my toiletries from my previous residence placed on the shelf, with a note saying:

I got your belongings this morning, I didn't get much except for the daily necessities though. After you wash yourself up, go to the kitchen, breakfast is there. Also, take the bento on the table too. I have some things to do, so you'll have to go to school by yourself, I'm sure you know the way, right? Anyways, have a good time in school Chika-chan! (*￣▽￣*)ブ Bye-bye!

- Dazai

A warm tension filled my body, I didn't expect anything like this. It's just so adorable and heartening, looked like I can't disappoint him either then. But how did he even know where my previous residence was?

I brushed my teeth and walked to the kitchen, finding an already made breakfast. It was a traditional Japanese breakfast, with steamed rice, miso soup, and grilled salmon. It was still warm, Dazai probably haven't left the house too long ago. Not to mention, it tasted delectable. I saw the bento placed on the counter, the navy-blue cloth was tied with a bow, and I positioned it on the side of my school bag.

I walked to the door after finishing the breakfast, heading for school. I took one last glance at the time, it was only 7:37. I would arrive at school around 8 then. Way too early. I'll need to stay at the library for some time before attending class. Then I notice my coat and scarf on the hanger, with another note attached to it saying:

I also picked up some of your clothes. The weather is turning cold in this season, stay warm! I'll go pick you up when school finishes. (maybe) Have a nice day!

- Dazai

I peeled the note off gently before placing it carefully in my bag along with the other note, trying not to reck them. Wait- How does he even know where my school is? Questions flooded through my brain, but I mean since he's a member of the agency, a government official, it won't be difficult to just get a profile document of someone...? I threw the queries to the back of my mind since they were not important at the moment.

Tepidness brushed through my skin as I put on my grey coat and white scarf. I open the door, then the cold breeze crawled through the narrow gaps of my clothing, making me shiver. The sun gave warmth, and the ambience was refreshing, it felt greater than ever. Judging the weather, snow is nearing, that means Christmas too.

People going to work and students going to school crowded on the streets, making it hard for me to even walk. Such a busy city. Yokohama is revolving in every second, the world is just a never-ending black hole. Humans do the same thing again and again every day, don't they just get bored? I thought about all these questions, not forgetting to judge over strangers silently too. It's been a habit already, prospecting those around me carefully.

There was no one in sight when I arrived at school, only to find one student studying in the library. I sat down at a corner and assimilate myself into studying for the next half hour before heading off to class. I put my best efforts on focusing the lectures, since keeping hold of my scholarship was my paramount priorities at the moment. Classmates gave me hateful inspections as usual since I often got picked on for being an orphan and such. My relatives never attended ceremonies and acted poorly even if they came to school, so most found out that I was the best object to harass on, for no one would care. Reputations are at the lowest in school for me, but to get the money, I needed to stay.
