Love with Death (Bungou Stray Dogs :: Dazai Dark Age fanfic x OC)

Chapter 13 : Heart for Heart (slight smut)

[ Dazai Dark Age Timeline ]

"Hey Tomie..." said Chuuya on his phone "I'm coming to pick you up... you're going to accompany me for tonight, alright?"

"Eh? Chuuya-nii? Umm alright" Tomie replied as Chuuya hung up.

Arriving at Tomie's house, Chuuya was greeted by Tomie's happy mother "My, my Nakahara-san! Tomie said you'd be here, come in, come in!" she said as she pleasingly let Chuuya inside her house.

"I'm sorry for the sudden intrusion ma'am" Chuuya said with an apologetic smile.

"Not at all~ Especially now that my little girl thinks of you as an honorary brother! It makes me feel like I have a son again!"

'Again...' thought Chuuya 'come to think of it... Tomie mentioned about having a brother before... I wonder what happened to him...'

"You just wait here, I'll go get Tomie" said the mother as she headed up the stairs.

Chuuya looks around the house, and his attention was directed at the family photographs... they're all of Tomie... her mother, and her father... yet, none of them has her brother in it...

"Chuuya-nii.." called Tomie as she headed downstairs with her mother, already sweetly dressed and ready to go to wherever Chuuya may take her.

Chuuya came closer to her and patted her head "Sorry for bothering you, are you really okay with going out?" he asked, hesitantly.

And yet... although Chuuya was smiling... Tomie had already known that he was acting differently... and she knows why. "It's alright, Chuuya-nii~ I'm not doing anything tonight anyway" she said with a cheerful tone as an attempt to lighten Chuuya's mood, though she herself knew it had little to no effect.

"Alright, then I'll be borrowing your daughter for tonight, miss" Chuuya bowed slightly to Tomie's mother.

"Oh please~ You're acting so formal! You're supposed to be her new brother right? Go on, go have fun~" she waved her hand as though shooing them away "just be sure to be careful, alright?"

Chuuya nodded "I'll protect her"

"Then we'll be going mom~" said Tomie as she hugged her mother goodbye.

And with one final farewell, Tomie and Chuuya had finally got into the car and went on their way, with Tomie still not knowing where they are even heading. The atmosphere was rather... stiff. Tomie would take occasional glances at Chuuya to see his rather blank expression. And with that the ride continued in silence. The worry in Tomie's heart is almost strangling, yet she could not dare to do anything, in fear of setting Chuuya off, making him explode with anger.

And though she does not have the courage to speak, she can at least accompany him to wherever he wants of her... hopefully a place where she can cheer him up... like a little sister would do.

And so they arrived at Chuuya's apartment, surprising Tomie as she had not thought at all that it would be where she is taken to.

"Make yourself at home, lil sis" said Chuuya as he opened a large cabinet, stocked with a wide selection of alcoholic beverages.

Tomie sits down at the sofa neatly and waited for Chuuya to join her, when he came to her with 4 bottles of whiskeys and wines alike, along with 2 beautiful glass, how he was able to composedly bring them all without care is nothing short of impressive and graceful.

Though the first thought that came to her mind was how many bottles Chuuya had with him, what especially caught Tomie's attention were the two glasses "U-umm... Chuuya-nii... I'm underaged..." though, she is pretty sure the same goes for Chuuya.
