I'll Help You, So Don't Leave Me

Help

"I need your help..."

Akutagawa walked closer to the boy and knelt down, in their other encounters, the weretiger would flinch and apologise and ask for Akutagawa not to start a fight.

But this time, he just coldly stared into the others eyes, waiting for some form of conformation.

Akutagawa gently pulled him closer, Atsushi nuzzled himself into the other as he felt his tears dry up "Please..."

In all honesty, Akutugawa had no clue what to do when it came to emotional situations "I just wanna die-" "No" what he did know was that he wasn't letting the boy die in such a way.

AKUTGAGAWA POV:

I've never seen the weretiger in such a pitiful state, he doesn't seem to care what's going on around him except for what I think he should do.

He had people he cared about, people who would give him better options than I, yet he wants the opinion to come from me, I assume it's because he's stupid enough to want it because I saved him.

"Wouldn't you rather it from Dazai-San?" I coldly asked, he shook his head "No, I want you to tell me what I should do" he mumbled.

I sighed "You're lucky our bosses are working together, you know that?" He barely mustered the strength to nod his head "Get up, I'm taking you back" I pulled him up and tried to walk in front him when I heard a thud.

He refused to move anywhere, he was taking his request too seriously "Ugh, come with me" I grabbed his wrist which caught him slightly off guard, but that quickly dispersed.

I walked into the agency, which was normal at the moment, what was odd was me walking in holding the weretiger's wrist in a gentle manner.

"How the fuck did-oh I am fucking slow" (Finally changed that) I heard Dazai say as he rushed over "Atsushi! What the fuck was that?" He inquired, obviously mad like I was, though I believe I was more aggressive.

"He tried dying" I said with a click of the tounge.

"Why did you do that!?" He yelled at Jinko, he didn't get a response, the tiger just softly hugged me, lightly sobbing.

Dazai's expression softened and he let out a sigh "Alright then, you're in charge of him until he's better" "Wha-" "If I see him trying to die again because of YOU, I'll kill you" he had that same glare in his eyes from the mafia that he used on targets, he wasn't kidding.

"Ugh, fine" I grunted as me and Jinko walked out the door "Come on we're going to my place" I said, stringing him along.

After a bit we made it to the mafia, I went to the second floor and inserted the ket to my room. I pushed the weretiger in and sat him on a chair.

I was looking around for tissues when I heard the door open "Ryū-Huh? Atsushi?" I heard Gin's voice.

I turned around and watched her approach Jinko, who was still crying. She pulled tissues out of her pocket and dried his tears.

"What happened?" She asked me "Well, this idiot thought death would be the best idea to forget his past. Honestly, he does annoy me" "Oh shut it, don't act like I don't see the sympathy in your eyes" she protested as she kneeled next to the chair.

"Anyways, don't boarder line insult him if he's still upset! Look he's crying again! I click my tounge "Tch, he always get emotional" "Ryū I swear to fuck- ugh" she continued to wipe away Jinko's tears "It's okay, you're alright, I'm here" she said to him for a form of reassurance.

"I...I still don't know what to do Akutagawa..." Gin looked at me confused "Hm?" "He wanted me to tell him what he should do because he's confused, I don't know, nor care enough to give him an answer" I reply "Oh my fucking-" she took a deep breath "Hey, mabye you could ask one of your friends? I'm sure they have better advice" "I already tried that, he refused"

"Well clearly you're for some reason his main source of confort so get your ass over here and confort him!" Gin stood up, her hands on hips, looking at me angrily.

"Whatever" I walk over to them "What you should do is leave me alo-" "Ryūnosuke" "Ahem...value your life a bit more..?" I shrugged, looking back at my sister.

For some reason I don't think that's the wording he was searching for "Breathe? Live? Don't die? Exist? What are other synonyms for live?" I ask "Oh my gosh" Gin looked at me, completely done with my alleged bullshit I suppose.

Jinko simply nodded his head, his eyes were red and puffy from crying, though that's to be expected after having a mental breakdown. His clothes had wet patches from said tears dripping down, he looked somewhat dirty? Perhaps from when Rashomon dropped him?

"I think you should wash up, Ryū will get you some extra clothes" Gin said "What-" "Go get the clothes asshole" she said, I sighed and reluctantly went to the closet to get spare clothes while Gin lead Jinko to my bathroom "Call to Ryū if you need help because well, I'm not seeing anything I don't need to thank you very much" she said as she closed the door "What about these-" "Oh well you give them to him when he calls out or now, duh"

I decided to wait 'till he calls out. I heard the water running from both the bathroom and the kitchen "Do you know what he likes?" "Food?" "Oh my fucking- food! What FOOD he likes you moron!" I cough, she doesn't yell at me very often, lord she sounds like my mother...if we had one "I don't know. Why would he tell me?" "Geez, can you contact Dazai-San than? I'm sure he'd know!"

I contacted Dazai "What?" "Gin's-" "YOU'RE" I clear my throat "Ahem, I'm curious on what Jinko's favourite food is...for no particular reason" "Fucking-" it was very easy for Dazai to hear Gin getting pissed off on my end "Chazuke goodbye" he hung up.

"He likes Chazuke...what is that?" "Damn it Ryū-...actually yeah hang on" I hear Gin fiddling around to get her phone "Oh, that's what that is", she turns on whatever she's turning on, I was not actually looking at her.

After a little bit I heard Jinko "Um, Akutagawa? I-I need clothes..." I sighed as I got up with the clothes and walked to the door, he opened it slightly and I gave him the clothes "Thanks..." he shut the door.

He came out, the clothes were a bit bigger on him considering he's shorter than me "Are you hungry?" Gin asked Atsushi, he nodded slowly.

Gin and I had set up the table, and she placed the bowels in front of each of us "Itadakimasu" we all said, though Jinko was significantly quieter.

When we finished, Gin took off her mask and looked at Atsushi "You feeling better? You looked really out of it earlier" "he didn't LOOK out of it he WAS out of it" "Ryū, please shut up for now"

The weretiger laughed "Yeah, thanks I...I don't know what I was doing...sorry for bothering you two" "Tch, you better be-" "It wasn't a problem at all!" Gin happily cut me off as she kicked my shin from under the table "Ow!" "Suck it up" this caused Jinko to laugh yet again.
