Love Stained Red (Bungou Stray Dogs)

Chapter 2

Last night I was unable to do anything to capture Dazai. His smug grin was burned into my mind. He knew who I was and why I was there.

All of this was just so maddening.

I flopped down on the red velvet bed below me and stared up at the ceiling. "Fuck this." I muttered to myself. Chuuya must have heard me cause he turned to look at me.

"Nyx."

I turned over and shoved my face in the soft blanket. I sighed and gripped the blanket tightly. I didn't loosen my grip until I felt Chuuya's hand on my back.

I flipped around only to have a pair of lips smashed up against mine. Not knowing what to do I don't resist. Maybe it's what I need?

Chuuya deepened the kiss as he slid his right hand up the under side of my shirt. I give into his touch, letting his do whatever.

Two Years Prior

"You go to that bar pretty often don't you?" I asked my boyfriend and he just nodded. "My two friends always meet there." Dazai spoke. I just hummed in response.

"I can go less if you'd like." Dazai spoke up. I shook my head. "No, please continue going, I like hearing you have friends. I don't wanna be the reason you don't see them." I smile kindly at him. Dazai just smiles back.

Time skip 5 hours.

I was forced awake by Mori. He was shaking me awake. "It's the middle of the night, what do you want." I complain, rolling over to put my arm around Dazai's chest. My arm fell straight to the bed. "Dazai?" I said and sat up.

Mori took a step back. "D-Dazai?" I stuttered. I looked around our room, he was no where to be seen. "Where is he?" I asked Mori and he just shook his head. "Gone." I took in a deep jagged breath. "You're lying." I said and stood up.

I could feel my whole body getting heavy.

"He'd never leave me..."

I walked out my room, still in my nightgown. It came down to about mid thigh. It blew in the wind.

"Dazai..."

I left the Port Mafia's "dormitories". I was on a search, I needed to find him. He would never just leave me. He promised he wouldn't.

I stood in the middle of the street and look up at the sky. I watched as the gray clouds rolled in, covering the dark night sky and her little stars.

"Dazai!!!" I screamed into nothing.

Present Day

I woke up in a cold sweat. My breathing was heavy and jagged. I looked around my room before my eyes fell upon a sleeping Chuuya next to me. "Why me?" I asked, pulling my knees up to my chest.

Mori knew what this mission was going to do to me. Was it all just a test? I mean it's been alittle over 2 years since he left. Plus I have Chuuya now. I should be over him but there's something that keeps pulling me back.

I got up and wrapped a robe around my half naked body. I went out to the balcony and stared down. I was high up in the mafia so Mori only saw fit to give me such an extravagant room.

I stared out at the lights of the city. "Maybe... he could catch me... like he did that one time..." I spoke to myself as I climbed up on the ledge. I stared down at the street below me. There was no sign of him.

"Maybe if I just-"

"NYX?!"

3 years ago.

I climbed to the highest building I could find. Sadly it wasn't that high but the fall would still kill me.

Once up there I sat down at the ledge, thinking. I mean, I have nothing left. Kicked out of school at the age of 15, thrown out by my own parents. Turned away by my relatives. All for what? This stupid ability.

A Sirens Song

Stupid name for a stupid ability. I hated myself for what I was born as. My family hated me for being born, then ontop of that for cursing the family name with my ability. I never asked to be born.

I stood up at the edge of the building and leaned forward. "What a silly accident this is." I said my last words as I fell from the roof. My body hurling itself towards the ground.

I shut my eyes and waited for it to all be over but it wasn't. I wasn't falling anymore either.

I opened my eyes to see a boy, he looked to be no more that 4 years older than me. "Oh hello." He said to me. I looked around to see what had happened and it just turned out he caught me.

I pushed myself out of his arms and fell to the ground. Quickly bouncing back up angerly. "What's your problem? Clearly I was trying to commit suicide." I said putting my hands on my hips.

The boy just laughed and grabbed my hand. "I know about suicide all too well. How would you like to try with me? We'll find something together that will be quick and painless!" He spoke like a true maniac.

I pulled my hand away from you. "Who the hell are you? An escaped patient from the mental institution?" I asked backing away. Again he just laughed at. "Actually I'm the opposite. I'm completely sane. I'm an executive from the Port Mafia... say, how about you join us? You'd make a great member."

With those worlds my world reformed itself around me. This stranger who didn't even know me took me in like we've known eachother since birth. "What's your name?" I asked quietly. "Dazai, And you?" He asked back. "Nyx" I responded extending my hand. He took it in his and shook it.

"Dazai... it's nice to meet you." I smiled at the stranger. He just smiled back and took me to my new home.
