The morning before the first task was... nice, Dazai woke up that morning next to a snoring Chuuya who was hugging his arm as if his life depended on it. The curtains surrounding the bed were drawn and the window swung in the sight breeze. He smiled.

Dazai yawned as he gently uncurled the gingers gloved fingers from his arm. Today was the day in which the second task would take place. Thrilling.

As he lazily draped the covers over the sober ginger in a foolish attempt to hide him he tightened his bandages and got dressed.

When he reached the crowded dining hall, he payed no attention to the people surrounding him, like in a film, his surroundings were barley audible, he stared at his reflection in his tea as he pondered on what the future held in store for him.

"Life or death?" Was the question that lingered obnoxiously in the back of his convoluted mind. A week ago he felt as if the answer was blatantly obvious, but now, with Chuuya, he felt as if the answer wasn't as easy.

But even so, he knew that death would never take him, it never did, so it never will.

He sipped his tea idly as he sat in the corner of the table, Blaine noticing decided it best to not interrupt Dazai in his train of thought.

"The tea tastes off' Dazai thought vaguely but took it none the less.

————————————-

Splash!

The pair dived and Dazai felt the cold water soak his suit. He didnt think to bring a swimsuit because... Why would he? But something was off...

He was breathing.

His eyes narrowed as he looked around, no sign of anyone except Chuuya and a couple more contestants in the distance, but then he realized; The tea. 

He sighed, not knowing if he should be thankful or not, Chuuya couldn't have done it because he thought that he already had a plan, so...?

Who could've done it?

Whatever, he had no time to think about it at the moment, he had a person to find apparently and a dollar bounty to complete along with...

He looked to his side and almost chocked, Harry was covered in scales and rocks. "Hey chuuya" he murmured 

"What" Chuuya hissed back "I forgot about him" he said, pointing at the struggling Harry "whoopsies! We have no more plan!"

Dumbledore had stated that the pairs (groups?) Would each have the time limit of 2 hours to go through an under water maze in an attempt to find where the merpeople(?) hid someone of value.

Of course merpeople existed he though blatantly. At this point nothing surprised him anymore.

Dazai thought this was stupid, he like no one except the canned crap he's gonna eat for dinner and sometimes Chuuya.

"Whatever, we gotta go, Ill think of something on the way" Chuuya hissed as he lightly punched Dazais arm

The trio swam through the lake, never ending seaweed loomed in the distance no matter how far the swam. But even so, it was all beautiful, from the water flowers to the small schools of fish to the jewels that sparkled without sunlight.

When they eventually ran into the merpeople Dazai swore that he was seeing the real life avatar actors because boy do they look exactly the same. 

Their were about five of them in total and they seemed to all be guarding some large rocks with vines attached to it four out of the seven rocks held nothing witch ment that one groupe already almost finished the course and Dazai and Chuuya only have each other.

Looking among the people strapped to the rocks he saw some familiar faces he saw 1 familiar face that Harry was foolishly trying to free as the merpeople held him back.

"Oh, hi Ron"he saluted the drifting, unconscious body as he dodged a small pebble thrown at him by a fending merperson.

Dazai watched, amused as Chuuya strangled a merperson (Which, technically speaking, wouldn't really work unless water for the merpeople is like air for humans (gulls exist)) but still looked badass.

As Harry relentlessly struggled to reach Ron Dazai found himself threatening a merperson with his ability. The second he touched them, their pale blue would turn into dust and Witcher away instantly. Upon realizing this, the merman who appeared to be the leader of the group blinked in horror and signaled for the one fending off Harry to quit struggling. Chuuya smiled at the brunet as Harry hastily untangled Ron from the rock.

"Chu-uya" Dazai slurred, when he got the gingers attention he grinned "Can we make out underwater like in those crappy rom-coms from the 90's?" He pleaded childishly 

"No" Chuuya mouthed as he gestured to Harry how looked like he was making love to an unconscious Ronwith how much he was hugging him. Isn't that illegal? Eh- whatever, He's not one to talk anyways.

"Pleaaaaaaseeee" Dazai begged

Chuuya rolled his eyes before he trapped Dazais chin and gave him a quick, peck on the lips. Dazai beamed in victory. As chuuya looked away, hiding a sheepish smile.

"Let's get outta this hellhole, slug" Dazai said as he started swimming away.

———— 2 min later....

"They forgot about me"
