Yoko

Dazai had told me about his phonecall to Francis. Apparently they would be arriving tomorrow to collect both Atsushi and myself.

The only question was, just how many people are going to die because of us.

So I figured I would lessen the casualties by turning myself in. He only wants me so that I won't kill him in the end.

"Why must you always do that. Running off to sacrifice yourself whenever you can. It's annoying!" He yelled.

I flinched a pang of pain in my chest.

"It beats seeing the two of you die because of me." I muttered. Akutagawa grabbed my wrist and looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Don't do this. Negotiate a peace treaty or something!"

"Ryu, you know it's not that simple. Francis Scott Fitsgerald was a subordinate of Natsuo. They think the same. As long as I'm on enemy turf, he doesn't feel safe."

Akutagawa wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"I won't let him take you without a fight." He whispered.

"I know."

Ryu and I sat in silence in his room. The threat of a deadly organization looming above us.

"Say... have you ever thought of, being with Nakahara." He muttered. I nearly burst out laughing.

"Chew Toy is my closest friend. I don't think of him that way. There's no need to."

He nodded seemingly satisfied with my answer.

"What am I to you." He continued.

"So we're going to get sentimental tonight. Okay. I'll say it depends. Are we fighting or can we breathe for once?"

He groaned sinking further into the couch.

"You make things so difficult Yoko." He murmered looking away flustered.

"Okay we'll change the subject then. What am I to you."

"Not better." He grumbled closing his eyes. Ryu could be very childish at times. That side of him was fun to watch. Rather than the soulless killing machine that he normally is.

"You're someone very special to me." I sighed. "I never thought of having someone like that. I never expected to feel an emotion like love. I always thought it was wasted on people like us. But after meeting you, I can officially say I love someone."

His hand held mine for a moment before he pulled me so I was lying down looking up at him.

"I love you too."
