Love Stained Red (Bungou Stray Dogs)

Chapter 15

Nyx POV

It was mid after noon when Dazai and I finally rolled out of bed. I was tired from the night before. He shows no mercy, he enjoys this shit.

I got out of bed and went into the bathroom and jumped into the shower. I looked down at my naked body to see bruises and cuts everywhere. "Holy shit!" I gasped out loud. He really didn't take it easy like usual... was this is worse though?

I thought to myself until I heard the bathroom door open. In cake Dazai, jumping in the shower with me. "Saves time and water" he smiled down at me. I just filled my eyes and put the shampoo in my hair. Dazai wet his hair then did the same. With washed his hair he looked down at my naked body. As I rinsed the shampoo out my hair he just stared and scrubbed his own hair.

"What?" I asked him after a minute or two. He took his right hand and traced one of the bruised cuts on my waist. "Damn... I did this?" He asked worried. I smiled up at him. I took Dazai's hand and brought it to my lips. Kissing it lightly. "Was this the worse you could do?" I asked in a teasing tone. He just shook his head. "I'll show you later how bad it can get." He grinned.

"Nyx your wrists..." Dazai pointed out. They were red and scratched from the... yeah.

"I'll just wear a long sleeves shirt today. After all it's going to be in the 60's" I said finishing up.

We got out the shower and dried off. I walked out the bathroom to my dresser. I pulled out a few items and went back into the bathroom excited. Dazai was in our bedroom now so he couldn't see me.

I locked the door and started my changing process. I dried off my damp body and slipped on my black laced underwear and the my matching bra. I smiled at the sight before slipping on a tight fitting pair of leggings.

Leaving my shirt off for now I jumped up in the counter to get a good look into the mirror. I pulled out my makeup and began that process.

I started with my foundation, then concealer, contour, setting power. Once that was finished I went in with nude eye shadow, making it light but noticible. Then I went in with eyeliner, making small simple wings, then I used a black charcoal eyeliner and went in on my waterline. Finally I put on mascara and a tint of red lipstick. Not a lot, just enough to make my lips darker.

I put my makeup away and jumped off the counter. I checked the time to see it's only been 30 minutes and I smiled. I slipped on my top. It was a light pink sweater.

I walked out the bathroom to find Dazai dressed but laying in bed. I smiled and walked out the bedroom to put on my shoes. Combat boots.

I walked back into our bedroom and smacked Dazai on his forehead before running out the room. "Oh you're screwed!" He said and ran out after me. I giggled and slipped out the front door and ran down the street to our favorite cafe.

I got inside and sat down at our usual seat. A waitress came over to take my order. "All alone today sweetie?" She asked me. I gave her a simple smile. "No, my boyfriend will be here shortly, can we have our usual please?" I asked her kindly. She nodded her head and went into the back.

Not long after Dazai showed up and sat down right in front of me. I smiled at him sweetly, hoping its enough to get out of what's to come later. Dazai only rolled his eyes and sunk down in his spot. As we waited for out food to come out we talked a bit before my phone buzzed signaling I have a message.

"Hang on." I held my hand up to Dazai and used my other hand to grab my phone. I flipped it open to see it was from Chuuya. I opened the message while wondering why I haven't just blocked him already.

"We need to talk. Just me and you."

That's all it said, nothing more... nothing less.
