Silver roses 【soukoku】

Chapter 18.

"Not my fault the cat likes me." Atsushi said defensively. 

"I didn't say that." Gin said in her quite voice. 

"But you can't smuggle a cat." Higuchi said, firmly. Chuuya just nodded along with them. Atsushi had found a cat and now they were trying to get him to give up the idea of smuggling the cat back with him to Japan. 

And they were not going to Japan, currently. 

No, they were in front of the airport, where thankfully Gin had heard the cat meow, and save themselves jail time. "Atsushi, the cat will live a good life in Greece. The people here would love it. C'mon we're going to be late if we don't go." Chuuya said, trying his hardest not to shout at the white headed boy. 

Chuuya knew he meant good, but please he just wanted to sleep. Travelling while having to do school shit seemed to really drain out the spirit from your body. 

 "Chuuya! C'mon what's taking you so long?" Tachihara asked from the entry. "Uh- Gimme a sec Tachi." Chuuya called back, and turned to Atsushi. 

"We're leaving in 3. Either you stay here with the cat, or you come with us to Italy." He said, firmly crossing his arms. Atsushi looked torn, and also kinda mad. Which was fucking stupid because you could not smuggle a damn cat. 

Their airline didn't even permit animals. 

He finally sighed, and let the cat go, waving a sad bye in farewell. 

"Fucking finally." Chuuya muttered as they went inside the airport. 

Chuuya was just about to drift off to peaceful dreamland, on Higuchi's shoulder of course, when he was rudely awakened by a ball of tissue paper hitting his face. He didn't even really need to look up to see who it was. 

"I thought you were avoiding me." Chuuya said, blandly. 

"Was I?" Dazai hummed in response. 

"Dazai, get you damn bag yourself." Kunikida shouted from the other side, and Dazai just waved back with a smile. 

"C'mon I'm bored, and we haven't had time to play since we got here." He said with a fake pout. "We haven't had time because you fucking disappeared every time I came to look for you." Chuuya snapped back, regretting the words as soon as they left his mouth. 

Dazai face overwent a whirlwind of emotions in one second. The only thing Chuuya could recognize was confusion and then smugness. 

"Awww did my little slug miss me that much?" He asked with a laugh, to which Chuuya replied with a 'fuck off' sign. "Ok so to compensate for ditching you, let's pair up for Rome." Dazai said with a shrug, the smile still on his face. 

Chuuya should've said no. 

He should have said no. 

"Sure." 

Dazai was still going insane, thank you for checking in on him. He couldn't concentrate on normal stuff without the ideas of a redhead popping in his mind, uninvitingly. Which is why he decided to avoid him as much as he could, without looking suspicious. 

And that didn't really work out because Chuuya noticed he was avoiding him. And before he could ponder on it too much, Dazai just said whatever came to his mind. 

'Let's pair up' had been an impulsive decision, and it was even more surprising to think that Chuuya had actually agreed to it. Could there be something that Dazai didn't know about? 

What about the murder laws in Rome? 

Could Chuuya be planning to murder him? 

Ah but, death by someone as lovely as him couldn't count as death, could it? Chuuya would be the type of person who'd love with his whole heart, who'd stay loyal to anyone he committed to. Someone so human couldn't love anything like Dazai. 

Dazai, who had long forgotten how to use his heart. He wasn't even sure he had one anymore. 

He was snapped out of his depressing thoughts by Chuuya, who quite literally snapped his fingers in his face, breaking Dazai away from his mind. 

Not that he minded, really. 

"That lady, behind you. I think she's going to see his husband in France and tell him she wants a divorce." Chuuya said, signaling to someone behind Dazai. Dazai took a quick sneak peak, and indeed, the lady was fidgeting with the ring on her finger, with a troubled expression on her face. 

"That man on her left, his wife's having a child, and he's not sure whether he'll be bale to make it in time, or if he'll miss the birth of his child." Dazai said, looking at someone who was looking at baby books, while biting his nails. 

"Raven and blondie, runway, in love, homophobic family, engaged." Chuuya said, looking at a pair of females, who looked literally, quite in love. 

"Hmmm. Oh, pilot, airhostess, separated by social norms?" He said, gesturing to the pilot and the airhostess, who were laughing with each other. 

"Ay good one. Ok uhhh, Starbucks cashier, attracted to the man dressed in all black, about to make a move." Chuuya said, nodding at Dazai's left.

"Ginger and Chestnut, repulsion, but maybe there could be more?" Dazai muttered under his breath, but Chuuya caught a bit of it. "Who?" He asked, looking at Dazai. 

"Aku and Atsushi." Dazai said with a shrug, a feeling of disappointment settling in his stomach. Did he want Chuuya to hear it? Yes. Maybe he should make a move, to at least know where he stood, and then he could figure out what to do with whatever the fuck he was feeling. 

He didn't even know he was capable of feeling this shit. What a crappy day. 

"I am so fucking tired." Chuuya yawed when they reached their hotel room. He was sharing with Akutagawa, while Dazai had been stuck sharing with Fyodor. "Someone. Anyone. Please switch with me." He whined when he found out. 

"Not particularly thrilled to be with you either, thanks." Fyodor said, rolling his eyes. 

Chuuya and Akutagawa weren't keen on it either, so Dazai had been stuck sharing a room with his so-called brother, something that Chuuya still didn't get. And he was not interested in diving inside the family tree of Osamu-Dostoevsky. Hell no thank you. 

Chuuya wanted to do nothing but sleep, partially because he had paired up with Dazai who had a knack for draining Chuuya's energy and partially because he was horribly jet lagged. Everything hurt, including his head so he decided to sleep it off. Everything was supposed to make sense after a nice nap, he was sure his own condition would too. 

Hopefully.
