The (rut) cycle (shinsoukoku)

Chapter 24

The port mafia and the agency were standing in places. Chuuya and Fukuzawa in front because they were the bosses and everyone else behind. They still had to infiltrate the building.

Chuuya had the say, he enjoyed having a higher position than Dazai did. He could order him around and was having much fun while doing it.

"Dazai, give me the documents" Chuuya says in the doggiest voice possible and smiles when the bandaged man is forced by Kunikida to come forward. Their dog/master personalities Dazai gave them when they were 15 finally took a turn of 180 degrees. Fucking finally.

„Thank you, Osamu" Chuuya says and enjoys the frowns on Dazai's face when he uses his first name. He knows the man can't say anything back since Chuuya could just "interpret it' as Dazai threatening it and that would get Dazai in trouble, either with the mafia of with the agency's boss.

Dazai has not called him short for a long time and Chuuya did not miss it. He was extremely happy and always showed it off.

"We're getting into the building in a few minutes. Our main priority is catching and killing Fyodor. However, we don't know his ability and that is extremely dangerous. That's why Dazai will have to be near him at all times to always be able to erase it. I will be in a tea, with him too, as a defense. Everyone else already knows what they'll do" Chuuya says and then looks at Fukuzawa.

"Yes. I hope you will be able to work without fighting each other. I hope this temporary tem-up with the mafia is not a bad idea" He says and finally, the fight can start.

Akutagawa, who is teamed up with Gin, Higuchi, Tanizaki and Kyoka, walks into the building through the left entrance and makes sure to be as quiet as possible. He's nervous... But also excited.

What will their meeting look like? Is this even today day? Or will Atsushi not be here yet?

The diablo didn't receive any letters for 3 months already and could not easily hide his worry. His sister asked him if he was alright many times because of that, because she noticed he was often sad. Lying to his sister hurt, but not as much as his loneliness which was growing everyday Atsushi did not write to him.

Did he stop loving Akutagawa? Or was he just busy? Or maybe the letter just didn't get sent and got lost somewhere in the sea which separated him and the weretiger?

There's no way Atsushi died. He was too strong to just die in 3 months. So why did Akutagawa still receive no letter?

Why was he even worrying so much about him? Did his feelings... really grow this much?

"Akutagawa" Kyoka whispers and he looks at her. She puts a finger on her lips and then points to behind the wall. Akutagawa looks in that direction and sees someone. His group probably just thought he was some normal worker, not an ability user, but Akutagawa knew him.

Atsushi wrote a few letters about him.

That was Nikolaj, the man with the ability to teleport.

Just when he's about to push Kyoka away and go the other way, the white haired man looks their way and once he sees the diablo he smiles, just like some kind of clown.

Nikolaj hides his hand behind his back and a few seconds later AKutagawa feels something in his shirt.

"Run" The ability user whispers at him and that's what his group does. Gin takes his wrist and runs too. Nikolaj gave off an extremely dangerous aura and Higuchi found it was unnecessary to fight someone who was not their main priority and to leave Nikolaj for others like Chuuya or Kyouyou.

All the diablo thought about though was the paper in his jacket. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to open it yet. But he will. Soon.

"You're overusing your power, Chibi" Dazai frowns and the shorter man just chuckles.

„Sure. And you fucking didn't?"

"I don't know what you mean" Dazai answers but purposely looks somewhere that isn't Chuuya's eyes. Chuuya looks that way too because he thinks Dazai saw something but then groans when someone take his hat off of him.

"Give that back you stipid mackerel!" Chuuya yells and activates his ability. He jumps at Dazai and makes him fall over. Sure, his ability gets erased but when the bandaged man falls to the ground he's able to take his hat back and he puts it on his face. He smiles in the ‚I won' way and only then realizes how close him and Dazai are.

His legs are around Dazai's waist and he knows that even though Dazai's bigger, Chuuya has more muscles and is stronger. He would win in a fist fight.

"...I think you should get off" Dazai whispers and the blush is very obvious on his cheeks. Chuuya only laughs and only leans in closer.

He doesn't know yet what's currently happening under Dazai's pants.

"Why? Are you too scared you'll fall in love with me?" The shorter man asks and jokingly licks his own lps and runs his hand through his red hair. His body leans down a bit as if because of instinct and then he feels something hard under him.

He quickly understands what it is and at first blushes but later decides to toy with Dazai. To embarrass him just like Dazai embarrassed him many times back when they were younger.

"Do you keep your gun in your pocket?" He asks and touches the ‚hard thing' in Dazai's pants. He notices Dazai bite his lower lip to not let any sound out and tries very hard not to laugh at that.

He moves his body even lower and makes sure to rub against Dazai's dick. That's when Dazai finally pushes him away and stands up but even through the short man was on the floor now, he was glad he finally made Dazai annoyed and embarrassed.

"Let's go" He says and offers Chuuya a hand to help him stand up and the short man takes it.

They walk forwards and it's obvious Dazai's quieter now. His bulge is visible but slowly fading again. On one hand Chuuya was sad it was already disappearing but on the other hand, he knew they had to be focused and there were no times for little games like these.

It takes them an entire hour to find the man they were looking for without being seen; Fyodor Dostoyevsky was currently going through many books and throwing most of them on the floor. He was on the podium of a theater and the books were all cartoon boxes, so Dzaai and Chuuya didn't know what he was trying to find.

Suddenly, he turns around and a man teleports to him. They talk but the double black doesn't understand what they're saying. It's weird, especially for Dazai who is great at mouth-reading.

After a while the man leaves and Dazai and Chuuya waste no time to ambush Fyodor. Dazai takes a hold of his neck and Chuuya points a gun at his face.

However, all Fyodor shows is not fear, but...excitement.

"You're too late" He whispers and soon later gets away from Dazai's grip. Chuuya shoots but the Russian man has long gone into the portal created by Nikolaj.

They've been outsmarted by him and now they are not able to help the others.

My dear, my love, my everything,

We will meet again soon. Just like I promised.

I'm sorry I didn't write anything to you... But I will make up for it. Today.

See you soon.

<3

The heart at the end of the letter made Akutagawa's own heart beat faster. Atsushi did not stop loving him. If anything, it seemed like he loved him even more.

„We're in trouble" He hears his siter say and quickly hides the paper again. he looks at her with a serious expresson.

"What do you mean? Did something happen?" He asks but the asnwer to his questoi comes faster than expected.

A portal opens in front of them and 3 men come out.

Fyodor, Nikolaj and... Atsushi.

Before Akutagawa has time to register what's happening, the weretiger walks towards him and pulls him close by his waits. He leans in shortly before whispering:

"I'm back, my love"
