Red Dice

the best meal.

As they had stopped at one of the further doors down the hallway there was crashing coming from the inside. quickly both boys had rushed in to find a Akutagawa looking through his kitchen drawer. 

*This isn't a room. Its a whole ass apartment. A messy one at that* "what the hell is going on in here?" Dazai grabbed the back of Akutagawa's coat to reveal the red faced male. he had been throwing around things around looking for something clearly not finding it.

"What are you doing in my room weretiger!" Akutagawa wasn't fazed at all from Dazai, this must of happened often. "calm down. I put you both together sense your room has a foldout couch. And this is a terrible way to show your roommate how his new life will be" letting go of the emo he dusted his hands off and turned opening a drawer and pulling out a card before handing it to Akutagawa. 

"How did you know I was looking for that!?" Akutagawa snatched it out of the brunettes hand and scoffed rolling his eyes before shoving it into his pocket. "I never agreed to this" he locked eyes with Atsushi which made the tiger Look away quickly nervously. 

"as your superior I didn't give you a choice he is your new partner  and that means you both will need to be better acquainted. fighting in battle is needed but not with each other." Dazai exaggerated on the partner part. Something didn't feel right to Atsushi.

"tootalloooo~" the brunette left before Atsushi could even try to change his mind. It was official he would be stuck with the one who had almost killed him. And probably planned to finish the job to. 

for the rest of the night it was like Atsushi was walking on eggshells Making sure to stay as far away from the angry emo and not to disturb him. He wanted to know were the bathroom was located but instead of asking he started opening doors which quickly gained the mob dogs attention. 
"what are you doing weretiger, already trying to make yourself at home?" his strand had looped around Atsushi's waist pulling him from the door and to his side. and letting go which left Atsushi unbalanced as he fell to the ground. 

"that Room is mine Don't go in there ever. or I will kill you, the bathroom is on the left next to the washing room. Your clothes came in earlier I didn't know that until you were dropped off like a orphan at my door..." Akutagawa quieted down realizing he accidently just commented on Atsushi's past. 

Atsushi had heard many things but when he looked into Akutagawa's eyes he saw regret. Not often you would ever be able to see in the soulless eyes he usually displayed. Akutagawa snapped out of it very quickly and returned to his dead gaze and pointed to the table with a few items but the bag clearly stood out most. "those are your clothes. and you stink like trash, go get showered and change. I go to sleep early. So your not allowed walking around doing whatever."

Atsushi nodded and walked over rummaging through the bag. it was only one outfit there didn't seem to be any sleepwear and he looked back at Akutagawa dare to ask. "do you think...I could borrow a shirt...and pants. Something more suitable to sleep in..?" Atsushi closed his eyes expecting to be yelled at for dare asking anything or maybe even sliced in half.

"give me a minute weretiger" was all he got in response before Akutagawa had already entered into his room. Atsushi wanted to melt and die right there but he sighed being grateful and waited. a few moments later Akutagawa threw an outfit at him and walked back to the kitchen area. "thank you" he smiled a little before turning the bathroom doorhandle and stepping in. "Don't take to long"  could be heard from the kitchen followed along with more cutting of something.

Atsushi took his shower the warm water felt Amazing on his skin. the burning from his scars didn't mind him, he felt happy to finally feel clean. and the soap smelled absolutely amazing. weird seeing as it was the same Akutagawa used....but Atsushi could never get close enough to get a hint of the smell. 

After his shower he got dressed realizing Akutagawa's shirt was Twice  his own size it almost looked like a dress on him, how embarrassing he thought. *I really hope I am not made fun of that would make this entire thing worst* that's when he thought about the male he saw at the station the one who had embarrassed him for assuming what he knew and didn't know. what ever happened to the group he only could really wonder what Akutagawa did. 

the smell of food brought him back to his senses Akutagawa was sitting at the table waiting for the weretiger to sit down so they could eat the meal together. It made Atsushi smile seeing a more kinder side. it was hope he might had a chance of survival. "I made you what i thought was obvious that a  weretiger would eat."

Atsushi didn't know how much he loved meat until after that meal.
