Still Blooming [COMPLETED]

Chapter 13

Chuuya had fallen asleep from exhaustion a few hours ago. He's curled up in Dazai's arms after crying his heart out while Dazai whispered sweet nothings to him.

Dazai decided to stay in the clinic once again to look after Chuuya. He was scared that the ginger might suddenly do something... unpleasant.

He had called Atsushi to buy some food for Chuuya and for himself earlier and the tiger had delivered it a few minutes ago and left with a small 'good luck'.

A small groan came from the sleeping ginger-head in Dazai's arms. He looked down at the male in his arms and sees that Chuuya was waking up.

Once the male was fully awake and sat up on his own, Dazai moved away to give him some space. "I got Atsushi to bring us food." Dazai said, getting their food out of the plastic bag.

Chuuya looked paler than usual. "I don't want food." he groaned out. Dazai looked over and noticed that he didn't look good. "What's wrong?" Dazai asked in concern as he moved to his side.

"Everything hurts..." Chuuya grumbled out. Dazai was quick in getting his phone. "Lay down. I'm calling Dr. Yosano." he declared as he dialed Dr. Yosano's number with one hand, his other hand made its way around Chuuya's small frame.

Chuuya shakes his head. "Your doctor won't be able to save me, it's over." he said but Dazai just held him close.

Dr. Yosano was quick on answering and was also quick on hanging up once Dazai explained what was going on.

"She's coming, ok? You'll be fine, Chuuya." Dazai said as he hugs the smaller male and held him close. "It'll be too late, you know? I can't be saved anymore." Chuuya said. "No! You will be ok! You'll be safe!" Dazai said, his voice shaking.

"Do you love me, Dazai?" Chuuya asked in a low and tired voice.

"Yes. Yes, I do!" Dazai answered who's crying by now.

Chuuya smiled painfully, there was blood on his lips now.

"I wonder if I'll be in heaven or hell,"

"You're not going anywhere, love, ok? You're staying with me, right? Right??"

"Do you think my parents will be up there? Are they waiting for me?" Chuuya asked as tears of blood run down from his eyes which made Dazai panic even more.

"You'll be ok, Chuuya. Damn it! You have to be ok!"

"Dazai," Chuuya held Dazai's cheek. "Don't commit suicide anymore... ok?"

More tears escaped Dazai's eyes. "I-I promise. I promise! So please! Please, she's coming so hang on! Please, damn it!" Dazai cried out.

Chuuya smiled despite the pain and finally, kisses Dazai's lips and he immediately kisses back.

It was a passionate yet short kiss. Once Chuuya pulled away, he whispered to him one last time.

"I love you, Dazai Osamu."

"I love you too, Chuuya. I love you so much," Dazai cried as he holds him close.

"I think I'm ready to sleep now."

And with that, Chuuya closes his eyes and goes unresponsive.

Dazai tried waking him up, shaking him awake, telling him he loves him and that he's sorry for everything that he did but Chuuya never opened his eyes again.

Dr. Yosano and the others arrived but it was too late.

Dazai was hugging Chuuya's pale, lifeless body as he cried in pain and regret and guilt.

It was all over.
