Lies [Dazai x Akutagawa]

1

* punch *

Once again Akutagawa was on the floor coughing his life out. Today was another day of akutagawas's training with dazai.

"Get up"

Akutagawa tried to get up only to be met again with yet another punch. Akutagawa was once again flown away. With his conscious slowly dripping away, he heard faint footsteps slowly approaching and his head was suddenly crushed to the floor by a foot.

"Useless" The other man said

"I can't believe I bought in a useless dog. A dog fit to do nothing but bark. "

Dazai started grinding his boots more on the boy's face. Akutagawa felt his skull breaking. He was under a lot of pain, hoping the torture to stop quickly. Yet he'd did not let out a single whimper because, with his past experiences he knows what it will gain him

" I'm sorry dazai san" Akutagawa pleaded under the man's foot.
" I promise to get stronger. Please dazai san. I'm sorry. Please "

Dazai kicked the boy's stomach.

"Useless dog"

Akutagawa heard the other boy say with contempt and disgust before he left the warehouse leaving akutagawa alone on the cold floor.

Akutagawa was relieved that the torment was finally over. He pushed himself up the floor and managed to walked up to his room. What happened after that? akutagawa doesn't know. Everything went blank.

After few hours, akutagawa woke up finding himself on the living room floor. He then treated his wounds as much as he can and left his room to carry out his missions.

Walking down the hallway, he heard someone calling him.
He turned to see chuya waving the file regarding the new mission. When akutagawa reached out to it, chuya suddenly paused. Akutagawa felt him staring at something.
" is there something wrong?" Akutagawa asked.
Chuya reached out to brush his lips which he didn't realise was bruised. In fact his entire face was bruised badly.
"Shitty dazai" chuya said after sometime. "Akutagawa, don't you think it would be better to get it treated properly?" Chuya said with what seemed like a worried tone. Although he knew he was right akutagawa did not want to visit the clinic. To put more bluntly, there's no point. He will be bruised once again badly no matter how many times he gets it treated. He is tired of visiting again and again. Yet to not be rude to the executive he replied, "I will visit after the mission. Thank you."

With a contemplative look chuya stared at the boy for some time and sighed. He patted akutagawa's shoulder and left the place with a tired look on his face.

Akutagawa did not particularly hate or like chuya. To him he was  another superior. But unlike dazai, he saw chuya more like a human. Dazai was not just a monster. He was a demon, if not the king of the race. The " demon prodigy" that akutagawa feared. The fear instilled deeper than the bones. A mere look from him showed akutagawa the power of fear.

The mission was not an easy one and akutagawa didn't expect it to be. He didn't expect anything great from dazai. Not for him atleast. He had to find a weapon dealer and retrieve the illegal weapons and the things he stole from the port mafia. Akutagawa had no other info other than that. No idea what type of dangers will be thrown at him. And when he was met with a ability user with a ability who knows what it was called and kinds of weapons he had never seen in his life, he was not surprised but just injured. Yet the mission was successful. It didn't matter if akutagawa was injured or not and wounds are nothing new for him. While the port mafia staffs were taking care of the rest, akutagawa limped out of the scene.
