Atsushi stood on the platform of Osaka Station, his heart heavy with a mix of emotions as he watched Dazai board the train. The summer break had arrived, and with it, the reality that Dazai was returning to his hometown of Yokohama. They had spent countless hours together, studying literature, exploring the city, and sharing their thoughts and dreams. Now, for the first time in months, they would be apart.

Dazai turned to Atsushi with a smile, his usual playful demeanor slightly subdued. "Don't look so sad, Atsushi. It's only for a few weeks," he said, trying to lighten the mood.

Atsushi forced a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes. "I know, Dazai. I just... I will miss you, that's all."

Dazai stepped closer, pulling Atsushi into a tight hug. "I will miss you too, more than you know," he whispered. "But we will talk every day, and before you know it, I will be back. Promise."

Atsushi nodded, burying his face in Dazai's shoulder for a moment. The scent of Dazai's cologne, a mix of cedar and something uniquely him, filled his senses, and Atsushi clung to it, trying to memorize everything about this moment.

The train's whistle blew, signaling its imminent departure. Dazai reluctantly let go, giving Atsushi one last smile before stepping onto the train. Atsushi watched as the doors closed and the train began to move, carrying Dazai away from him.

Atsushi stood there until the train was out of sight, feeling a sense of emptiness settle in his chest. He turned and made his way back home, the usually vibrant streets of Osaka feeling dull and lifeless without Dazai by his side.

Chuuya stood by the train platform, the noise of station humming around him. He glanced at his watch, noticing he had about ten minutes before his train departed. Beside him, Akutagawa stood quietly, his dark gray eyes fixed on the floor. The summer heat was already settling in, but neither of them seemed to mind.

"I can't believe summer break is already here," Chuuya said, breaking the silence. He tried to sound cheerful, but there was a hint of sadness in his voice.

Akutagawa nodded, still looking at the ground. "Yeah, time flies."

Chuuya reached out and gently touched Akutagawa's arm. "Hey, look at me."

Akutagawa lifted his head, meeting Chuuya's gaze. His expression was neutral, but his eyes betrayed a mix of emotions.

"I will miss you," Chuuya said softly.

Akutagawa's lips curled into a small smile. "I will miss you too."

Chuuya squeezed his arm. "It's just for the summer. I will be back before you know it."

"I know," Akutagawa replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "But it's still hard."

Chuuya nodded. He knew how much Akutagawa struggled with expressing his feelings, and this temporary separation was undoubtedly difficult for him.
