Broken Chain

Double Black, it was what they call them. A name that refer to their identity, also which made them known as the living legend. A name that they had given by the organization they were in, Port Mafia, due to a great achievement. Well, destroyed the opponent’s organization in one night, that was the achievement. Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya, they were them, they were the Double Black.

Both of them were partner to each other. Had to be together in mission brought this kind of bond between them. Although it would be funny to see how they behaved around each other. Dazai who always came with that annoying existence. Plus, the fact that Dazai was a suicidal-maniac made him more annoying, though those were according to Chuuya. And Chuuya himself who known as a short-tempered person. Similar to a cat and a dog, both acted like hating each other.

-----

“Why can’t you stop suddenly jump off a bridge into the river to commit suicide?! It was embarrassing to ask people if they saw a pile of bandage flowing in the river all the time! YOU SHOULD’VE KNOWN ABOUT THAT!” the common sentences that said with anger by the short-tempered man who also had a problem with his height. Only to saw a grin on his partner face.

“Don’t be like that, Chuuya~ If you keep being angry and all, you’ll get shorter~” said Dazai followed by chuckles from himself.

“WHA- Tch, this is why I hate you...” Chuuya gave a glare to Dazai.

“If you hate me, why did you save me?"

"I— "

"You  can only let me reach my dream~ Oh, or do you want to have a double suicide with m—”

“SHUT UP! WHY WOULD I DO IT WITH YOU ANYWAY?!” and a voice echoed through the haze.

-----

There were many other argument, fights, and taunts between them. But, actually, it was very obvious that they know and trust each other.
-----

“Should we do the plan?” said Chuuya.

“What? Do you have a doubt on me?” the taller man said in his usual tone.

“No...”

“Chuuya, you know that my decision will never wrong, don’t you?”

“Tch, whatever. Just do it.” Only accept it, it was the only thing that Chuuya did.

And then, sure, they finished the mission neatly.

-----

That thing just shown their kind of bond. Like, that love-hate thing. But, let’s just put it in friendly way, not in a romantic one of course. They had so many fights, yet they were a really good partner. And everyone admitted it.

Those days were the good days for them, also for everyone in Port Mafia. Their work had given many benefits for the mafia. It was an honour to bring joy to Port Mafia. Because of their great job, Dazai and Chuuya's position in the mafia was raised.

And, maybe, it could be said that their “friendship” was at its best.

-----

But, sadly, that thing couldn’t last forever.

-----

On that night, a call had received on Chuuya phone. At that moment, it could be guaranteed that two things had broken. First, it was the main component of the organization. And secondly, it was Chuuya’s heart.

“Dazai left us.”

Those three words, said by the boss of Port Mafia, Mori Ougai. Only simple form of words, way too simple. But, unfortunately, those words were shredder machine.
