A Summer Together (You make me feel like I'm alive again) [SOUKOKU]

A Ditch - in the rain.

The guy in the ditch couldn't be any older than Chuuya himself, he had dirt all over his face and in his hair, which was brown and slightly grown out but seemed to be well combed in intentions.

He had dark brown eyes and was wearing a ridiculous looking suit. He looked up at Chuuya with awkwardness, hugging his flashy silver suitcase

"Hey there..."

What was he supposed to do now? Help him out of the ditch, obviously.

"Uh, want some help?"

The guy stared at him for a few seconds before a delayed response.

"Yes, yes that would be great. Sorry... um, are you expecting someone by any chance?"

Chuuya glances up and down at him. The guy is wearing a suit (a very expensive looking one in fact) and squished between a bunch of suitcases.

"Wait... are you the guy that is supposed to be living with us?"

"That must be me!"

Chuuya cringes a bit, but quickly wipes that look off his face to not be rude. He sticks out a hand towards him and the brunette takes it. Chuuya drags him and his suitcases out of the ditch and the guy stands up swiftly.

"So, um, what's your name?"

Well... this was awkward. So much for first impressions.

"Dazai Osamu," He said quickly, "you?"

"Nakahara Chuuya, but just call me Chuuya."

"Wow, are we already on a first name basis? I mean I knew I was charming but you really couldn't wait?"

"Tch, you're one strange guy. Hanging out in a ditch for an hour and saying weird things to your host."

It was getting late now, and this was taking far longer than he thought. The last thing he needs right now is someone teasing him.

He starts down the ditch, attempting to gather all of the luggage that was around them.

"Eh, Chuuya, I have a pressing question that I must ask you."

"What is it?"

"Are you a boy or a girl?"

"Why you -... I am not a girl."

"Oh, my apologies. I thought you were because you're so small."

Seriously, what was this guy's problem?

"Mhm well, do you want to be sleeping outside today or not?"

"Sorry! It was just a joke." Dazai seems to think for a moment, "Is it true that I will really have to sleep in a barn with the animals?"

Dazai lowers his eyes and turns his voice into a whispering tone, "Like the pigs?"

What?? Chuuya rolls his eyes, he does not need to be dealing with questions like these right now.

"Yeah it is so get in, no of course not. Are you stupid or something?"

"That's the second time you've said that phrase to me, chibi."

"Yeah well that's because you are stupid... Wait, what did you just call me?"

He's gathered all of the luggage now, and starts back up the ditch.

With an annoyed look, he signals Dazai to follow.

"Chibi, chibikko, teeny tiny little mosquito. You know, because you look like one."

This guy... Chuuya thinks to himself.

They start heading towards the direction of the house. Chuuya leads the way while Dazai follows behind. It's probably well past 10 now.
