Place of nightmares

Dazais pov :

Not to long after Atsushi had left he made his way to work as he felt the strong urge to piss off kunikida .

It took him around 30 minutes to walk to the agency where he of course flirted with the waitress in the cafe before heading upstairs.

"dazai your late "
"I have a child kunikida I have to make sure he fed and dressed and you know I don't have a car "
"Whatever just sit down "

He made about 10 paper airplanes as kunikida had scrunched up all his other ones .
"Can you just do you work for one minute -"
"I'm getting a call be quiet please"
The look on his face is priceless .

He stares at kunikida as he answers the phone .
"Hello ? , yes I'm him , is he ok? , I'm on my way "

He hangs up and makes his way to the door .
"Where are you going ?"
"That's was Atsushi's school , I need to get him , can I use the agency car ? "
"Yes go "

He jumps in the car and drives as fast as he can .
Running into the school office .

"I'm here for Atsushi nakajima I was called to get him "
"Yes , there's a teacher through those doors , she'll take you to him "

He walks through a set of doors and a teacher asks him to follow her .
"Is he ok ? They said he had a panic attack "
"He walked out of his art lesson in floods of tears , we only got him to stop crying a few minutes ago "
"Is he ok ?"
"he won't talk to us , that's why we called you to pick him up "

She opens a door to an office , where Atsushi is sitting with his head on a table and a sick bag in hand . A teacher sat beside him with a hand on his back .

"Atsushi are you ok ?"
He knelt down next to him .
"Dazai ?"
"Yeah "
Atsushi just turns and starts weeping into dazais shoulder .

"I'm gonna take you home and we can talk about this , why do you have a sick bag ?"
He didn't get an answer so he looks at the teacher who is sat next to Atsushi .
"He was hyperventilating , and said he felt like he was going to be sick "
"Ok , can I take him ?"
"Yes , are you able to come in another time and sign some forms"
"Yeah sure , come on Atsushi "

As Atsushi stands up he wobbles so dazai grabs his arms and they walk out to the car .
He makes sure Atsushi is all buckles in before getting in himself .

Atsushi was silent but he took that as a good sign he wasn't crying .
When they pulled into the apartment car park , dazai looks and sees Atsushi passed out .

He parks the car and taps Atsushi on the shoulder .
"We have to go inside "
Atsushi doesn't move .
"Atsushi ?"
He feels a panic feeling in gut .
But then Atsushi's eyes start to flicker open .
"Let's go inside and you can go to bed"
Atsushi noddes and they head to their apartment .
He lets Atsushi in first .
"Hey , I thought you had work ?"
Chuuya walks up the staircase as he talks to dazai .
"I could say the same for you "
"Didn't need me "
"I went to get Atsushi from school"
"Is he ok ?"
"come over in 20 minutes "
Chuuya nodds and goes into his apartment as dazai goes into him .
He walks into Atsushi's room and tucks him in , kissing his forehead , he only does this when Atsushi is sick or In a situation like this .
He closes the door and sits in the couch , turning on the TV .

20 minutes later chuuya walks in .

"What happened with Atsushi is he sick ?"
"he had a panic attack "
"About what ?"
"He won't tell anyone , they said he was hyperventilating and in floor of tears . He's a strong kid he's only cried like that once since I've known him and that's because - he thought I was gonna hit him . What if hes getting bullied ? He doesn't have any friends -"
"stop . Your overthinking . He'll tell you when he's ready . "
"Your right , but he walked out of class , he's never done that , he's a good kid and it was art , he loves art "
"Akutagawa text me earlier he was moved to art , I'll ask him if he saw anything earlier-"
"shut up "

Dazai sits up and mutes the TV .
As the two sit in silence , the sound of quiet sniffles is heard .
He turns around and sees Atsushis door opening .

Atsushi walks out , hair a mess and his eyes redder then earlier.
He doesn't say anything and just sits next to dazai .
"What's wrong ?"
"I'm tired "
"Go to sleep "
Atsushi noddes and closes his eyes .
Dazai just hugs him tighter .
