Only With You || Soukoku

|| Dear Dazai ||

Time flew so quickly... Not noticing it's nearly the last day of school... I sighed, and placed my notebooks in my locker, ignoring a white paper that was placed behind it. Well, I didn't know to whom it came from, but it was pretty long, kinda like a... Letter...?

I ignored it a first, but what about to happen will be frustrating to me...

Lunchtime's the only time where I and Atsushi could meet. But he strangely hasn't shown up today.

"Maybe he's just sick.." I told myself.

"Oh well, I guess I'll have to eat my lunch alone like the old days"

I snickered to reach my phone and called him.

"C'mon, Atsushi please pick up..." I prayed

- 5 more calls later -

I gave up on the call and was about to walk back to my classroom.

"Dangit, Atsushi! Why would you not answer me?! What is wrong with you?!" I shouted while walking down the school halls.

But I suddenly decided to head into my locker, put my phone away, and avoid being distracted during class. 

"Oh yeah, this letter.." I mumbled

"What even is this..?"

My eyes widened, knowing that that letter was from Atsushi's

(Warning: Angst ahead)

I opened the folded letter, and started reading:

Dear Dazai,

Hello! How's your day? Well, I hope you're doing well!

But, I kinda have some unexpected news for you...

You see... I'm not attending this school anymore because I'm transferring... But please don't be sad about this or anything, but I do hope you can find a new friend who can help you, listen to you all the time, and have much more fun memories you can spend together more than we had.

And I have told the principal that my new school will start in a few months, that's why I took an early exam at my new school and didn't attend school today.

Well... To be honest, I'm not attending this school from this day forth, because I was dismissed earlier than you expected. I'm really sorry if this was all too sudden...

I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye...

But you know what? I am so happy to be your friend! I'm keeping all our memories in my heart.

Dazai, I don't want you to be lonely and hurt yourself.. (You dang suicidal maniac) Because... I care for you as a friend!

Please always take care...

And I hope one day, you can find someone special to you that you can be with forever! As I said, I don't want you to be lonely, because there are still things in your life that you haven't experienced yet. Please continue to live on and never give up!

You're the best out of all the friends that I've ever had, y'know? I'm glad that you came into my life.

Love you as a friend! <3

- Atsushi

"You idiot!" I muttered as tears were slowly running down my cheeks. "Why do you have to leave me!"

"Well, I guess people come and go huh..?" I muttered,  half crumpling the paper, holding it onto my chest

"I'll see you again soon then... Atsushi.."
