With you - Shin soukoku

Chapter 3

Atsushi's POV:

Surprisingly Akutagawa wasn't late. He just walked over and sat down next to a ginger hair guy with a big hat. And what Dazai said was true, he was pretty short.

I was seated next to dazai who better not do anything dumb this time. Last time he brought me somewhere he pet me like a cat. Which I'm NOT a cat!

But for a bit we stayed silent. Until the waiter walked by and asked if we had our orders ready.

"Just some wine and steak" Akutagawa said, staring intently at the menu as if it will explode. It didn't.

"This fish thing" I said pointing at the menu. Which it was a cooked salmon. "And this fish thing!" I said pointing to another. "And Sashimi!"

"So salmon, Sashimi and... Some raw fish?" He questioned.

"Yep!"

"Ok... and you sir?" The waiter said looking at Chuuya.

"Wine, Steak and mackerel" he said glaring at dazai who had a playful expression. As if enjoying Chuuya's rage.

"Okay...Lastly you?" The waiter said.

"Hehe- do you have fried hat?" He said in a surprisingly series tone.

"Um, no but anything on the menu?"

"Fine! Wine, steak and some Mushrooms~" he said smirking.

"Those are some weird tastes in food" The waiter thought as he walked away.

"You say your not a cat yet only order fish stuff?" Chuuya said looking at the dumb founded atsushi.

"I would have ordered chazuke but Kunikida said he would give me some tomorrow. Thus im not a cat" I say proudly.

"That just mean you have taste in other food! It doesn't mean your not a cat" Chuuya said side eyeing me.

"Well im not a cat" I hissed.

"Wait... Earlier you said a person named Kunikida was going to treat you to food?" Akutagawa said blankly staring at me as if was gonna kill someone.

"Mhm, he is another member at the ADA." I said.

"I don't care about that." He said back still angry at nothing. Jeez how can someone that gets mad at someone for giving food to the other be so dang hot?

But the better question is, why is he getting so worked up over something so little? Its just some delicious chazuke. Wait... Does he want some too?

"Do you trust this 'Kunakida' person?" He questioned. Chuuya had his arms crossed and looked at Akutagawa with a weird knowing face.

"Do you?" He said again, not even 10 seconds later.

"Of course I do! Why wouldn't I? He's helped me way more times than I can count. He's also strong and hard working! Plus he really cares abou-" I said but I had gotten cut off by Dazai who put a hand over my mouth.

I then looked at Akutagawa who had a angry expression he also looked a little hurt?

Normally whatever I said it wouldn't have an effect on him. Why was he acting up so much?

Akutagawa's POV:

Why was I so annoyed by his statement? It doesn't matter, what matters is getting rid of this Kunakida. He pisses me off.

I don't know why but I need to make sure that my Atsushi doesn't run off to this troublesome person.

This may be an argument but why did talking to him make me feel so happy? And not to mention warm inside?

"How about we switch seats then~ me and Chu chu can talk about some nice adult things and you two love birds can argue about this useless stuff~" Dazai said whistling.

Sit next to the jinko? Also Love birds?

"Fine I guess" I said hiding my sudden strange excitement.

And with that we changed seats. I'm so close to jinko! WHY AM I HAPPY?

Do I... No I can't, I'm part of the mafia. He isn't, we can't ever... Plus he doesn't...

"Akutagawa why so red but oh so gloomy~?" Dazai teased. I could tell he knew why but just wanted me to admit it.

But I could never. At Least not here.

As if on que. Our food came. He placed it in front of us. And to be honest it looked so good.

"Why didn't you get wine?" Dazai said to Atsushi who had already shoved a whole piece of fish into his mouth. Such a cute little tiger.

"I waz sopozed to? (I was supposed to?)" He mumbled.

Dazai quickly glanced at me then back at the jinko.

"Since im spending so~ much already... Why don't you two share?" He said half-teasing.

I looked at the jinko who was bright red. Then I felt that I too turned red.

"What?!" Jinko said still red, dropping a fish.

"Unless you wanna pay the bill" He said giving me a 'you better do this Akutagawa' face.

"Fine..." I quietly muttered.

"Eh?" Atsushi said with a confused tomato-red face.

"I said fine"
