Dazai x Reader (World War II AU!) | The World Is On Fire

Please, take this seriously. It's not a story to laugh.

Inspired by the song above and by "Fate Of A Man" by Mikhail Sholokhov.

The words he said were still echoing in your ears.

"I've signed for war today."

He must have been joking. This couldn't be true. He couldn't do it. He couldn't leave you alone and let you suffer through that hell of endless waiting and worrying.

"What?" You asked quietly, tears already forming in your (e/c) eyes

"I've signed up for war today." He repeated "I can't stay, while other men are dying and fighting for peace."

"B-But...Dazai...what about me...?" You asked and large tears streamed down your face

"I already talked with Ango about it. He'll help you with anything you'd need. He's a politician so he definitely can save one person." Dazai explained

"This is not what I meant!" You answered "What will happen if you...you know...won't return. Have you thought what will happen to me? How much I'll be worrying...How..."

You weren't even able to finish the sentence because of the intense crying. You covered you face with your palms to hide your bloodshot eyes and swollen lips.

"(Y/N)..." Dazai muttered

He pressed you close to his chest and stroked your back in a pathetic try to calm you down. He was covering your face and jaw with feather-like kisses, but your tears didn't stop even for a second.

"(Y/N)...I'll be back..." He whispered in your ear "I promise."

"How can you know it...?" You asked quietly

"I just feel it. Something deep inside of me tells me this" Dazai answered "Don't you feel it too?"

You didn't answer. Silence will explain it better.

That night, you two spend in each other's embrace, cuddling under the sheets. You were inhaling the scent of his shirt and caressing the smooth skin on his hands. (A/N: yes, he's not wearing bandages and his skin is not scarred. Don't ask. Just read)

You were trying to remember each part of him, while you could. You were trying to remember this precious moment of peace, which will soon be taken away from you.

***

This was the day of Dazai's departure. You two were on the London railway station. It was the time for a farewell. You had to tell each other the last words. If you ever get the chance to see each other again, this will be minimum in 5 years.

"I'm afraid..." Dazai started "This is the time."

"Yeah." You answered quietly

You wrapped your arms around his neck as you hugged him as tightly as you possibly could. You nuzzled into his neck and let the tears roll down your face. This was impossible not to cry. Dazai was about to face the death itself, he was about to walk through hell and you had no idea wether he could survive. And the worst was that you couldn't stop him anymore.

"Dazai..." You started with a shaking voice "I beg you, be careful. Don't act like a hero. You are already a hero if you're going there. I beg you, please return back to me. I won't be able to live without you."
