Chapter 5

Chapter five: The case of the missing suicidal idiot's.

The sound of his phone ringing woke him before the birds did. If not for the warm body still fast asleep on top of him he would have jumped up and probably thrown the phone out the window. Instead he decided to answer it, before the ringing woke Precious. And he didn't have to look at the call ID to know who it was. Only one person would call at such an early hour.

"What?" He snapped as soon as he accepted the call.

"And good morning to you too, Chuuya!" Dazai's cheerful voice came through the speaker.

"Could you keep it down please?"

"Why? Is your princess sleeping?" Dazai teased.

"Shut up Dazai! She's only a friend and you know that!"

"If you say so, small fry." Dazai chuckled.

"So what do you want? Certainly you did not call at such a godly hour just to tease and insult me!" Chuuya said as he started running his fingers through the sleeping girl's hair.

"Maybe."

"That's it. I'm hanging up."

"Ah! Don't! I was joking!" Dazai said with a panicked voice.

"Well? What do you want?" Chuuya said, getting impatient. He certainly ran out of patience fast when it comes to his suicidal maniac of a partner.

"Aw, is hat rack losing his patience?" Dazai chuckled.

"If you know that then hurry up already." Chuuya grumbled.

"Mori was wondering if Precious would be okay for a mission with me today?"

"Precious on a mission with you? Why does Mori think that that is a good idea? And why are you with Mori at this time of the morning?" Chuuya asked.

"It's the boss's orders I guess. And it's my business why I'm with the…Ahhh… boss this early…fuck…"

"Um… Dazai? Is everything okay?" Chuuya asked, confused.

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Chuuya had hoped that Dazai had accidentally hung up when he heard Dazai's voice. "Everything is okay! Back to my question from before."

"Um…I'll have to ask her when she wakes up… and she's still asleep."

"Hear that Mori…Ahhhhh! So…good."

Chuuya heard the voice of his boss but couldn't make out what he was saying.

"Boss said that's fine. As long as she wakes up before 12. It's not like I'll be able to walk anytime soon anyways."

"Okay? And can I ask why?" Chuuya asked, already regretting asking.

"I don't think you want to know!"

"Good enough for me." Chuuya yawned. "Well I'm gonna go back to my beauty sleep that you interrupted! And leave you to whatever you're doing! Good night!"

"You mean good morning–"

Chuuya hung up without letting him finish. He put his phone on silent and placed it on the bed side table. He leaned back. "Huh. Oh. Dazai's heat is today. Don't tell me…nope. I'm gonna pretend I didn't just hear that. Oh well. Wait, that doesn't make any sense. He uses suppressants." He looked down at the sleeping girl. "She looks so at peace, like a sleeping angel. I wish this wouldn't end…" He fell into Dreamland.

Chuuya woke up to the smell of breakfast. He opened his eyes and sat up. That's when he realised that Precious was gone. He got up and got dressed, before proceeding out of the kitchen to see Precious placing a bowl on the table.
