Live for you, die for you

5. A mackerel and a slug's confession

"Mackerel..."
"Slug..."
"Mackerel."
"Slug."
"Mackerel!"
"Slug!"
"MACKEREL!"
"SLUG!"
"THIS IS YOUR FAULT!"
"YOU MESSED UP, NOT ME!"

The sixteen year old Double Black were arguing because they got caught on a mission. Now they were tied to a chair in a room with no door on it and it started getting on fire. The mission was about to kill a man who meant danger to the PM, but they caught the boys.

"I didn't mess up anything, you were the one who couldn't control your anger! You started shouting at me and it was a "little suspicious!" Dazai scolded Chuuya.
"Because you were fucking annoying!" Chuuya shouted back. They both turned their heads away, clearly not wanting to continue their argument.

Silence. Silence filled the room, only the spreading fire's noise could be heard. They stopped arguing, it was meaningless now. The fire was spreading, this will be the end.

"Chuuya... there's something you should know before we die." Dazai had a sad tone.
The shorter boy just raised an eyebrow.
"What now, shitty Dazai? And why are you sad? Aren't you happy to die?" But deep down he wished he would stay alive... both of them, he wanted both of them to live.

Dazai's facial expressions didn't changed. "Well... I would be happy if..."
"If? What's the damn problem?!"
"I would be happy if... if we would die for real. But today doesn't feel like death.." In the next moment with a smug look he slipped a knife out from his sleeve and cut the ropes. They stood up and Chuuya punched Dazai in the stomach.

"Fucking bandage waste! You prick, the fire is almost here, we could've escaped for a long time and you only did something now?! The fire is almost here!!"

Dazai coughed a little when the other punched him. "I wanted to see your reaction, don't be so mean to me."

"You cut the ropes, okay, but how the heck are we going to escape?! The fire is spreading, we will burn alive!!"
"Don't be so stupid, there's a vent above us. Didn't you notice it?" Dazai tilted his head a little as he pointed above them to show the vent. "Don't just stand there, fly up, you stupid hatrack!"

"Don't order me around! Fucking Dazai..." Chuuya flew up and tried to open the vent. "It's locked!"
"Kick it or punch it! Idiot, you're more stupider than I thought- AHH! Hey, shithead, be more careful!" Dazai jumped away from the vent's door which was falling towards him. Chuuya threw it at him after he kicked it open.

Chuuya rolled his eyes. "Sorry, I didn't notice you." His voice was filled with sarcasm.

The edge of Dazai's coat got on fire and the brunette haired boy tried to make the fire go away. "Chuuya, pull me up! I don't want to burn, it's painful!"

Chuuya pulled the other up in the vents and they crawled a bit further so the fire can't reach them. Chuuya could sit down comfortably, but Dazai struggled a little before he found a comfortable position.

The taller boy sighed. "Finally... But we still have an unfinished mission, we didn't kill that dude."

"Then let's go and finish him." Chuuya wanted to crawl away but Dazai pulled him back and rested his head on the ginger haired boy's shoulder.
"I'm tired, we won't go."

"Get off me, shitty Dazai." Chuuya tried to move away but Dazai didn't let him.
"I want to sleep, don't move."
"You could've rest your head against the vent's wall and you choose me? And this is not the first time. Do you like me or what?" Chuuya asked jokingly and angrily, but deep down he asked the question seriously.

"What if I do, who are you to stop me?" Dazai asked while his eyes were closed, still leaning against Chuuya's shoulder.
"You freaking slug, you just noticed it, wow. I'm so proud of you." He had a sarcastic tone.
