Chapter 22 [Train Car]

Atsushi

"Wait!... I'd like to know what you're up to down here..."

Chuuya

"And why do you want to know?"

Atsushi

"... Did you come here for us?"

You

"Eugh, gross. We were supposed to rid of thieves in the mine, but then you showed up and both I and Chuuya have wanted to put all of you six feet under for a while now."

Atsushi

"We were assigned the same exact job..."

Kunikida

"When you say it like that, you... Don't sound like Y/N."

Dazai

"You've changed, Y/N. A lot."

You

"I wonder whose fault that is."

You locked your focus on Dazai's eyes, clearly aiming this statement toward him.

Because you were in a cave, this would be simple.

You just took out a bomb and tossed it on the ground, without explicitly targeting the agency members. The floor began to crumble, and some of the roofs of the cave began to fall.

Chuuya grasped your hand and ran as fast as he could, forcing you to go at the same pace as him.

You laid a massive, long chain of bombs that were detonated once Chuuya was able to get you out of there. You and Chuuya both watched as the cave was blown up.

You

"Haha! You think we got them?"

Chuuya

"Definitely! But to make sure..."

Chuuya used his abilities to elevate every single boulder that fell on top of the agency members, then had them fall back down to crush them even more.

Atsushi emerged from the rubble. His clothing was shredded, and his face resembled that of a tiger. A very... Fucking hideous ass tiger.

okay as much as i love atsushi, i will never appreciate the fact that he looks so fucking hideous when he uses his were tiger ability

Chuuya

"Oh... Seems like we didn't get that one."

Atsushi, the transformed were-tiger, leaped on top of you. You were pushed into a nearby lake as a consequence of this unexpected and overwhelming impact.

Chuuya

Shit! They don't know how to swim!

While drowning, you attempted to pull Atsushi off of you. In a panic, you attempted to detonate your explosives in the water, which... Obviously did not go as planned. Chuuya sprang into the air, then dove into the water, striking Atsushi's neck in the process. Chuuya then pulled you from the water.

Chuuya

"Can you breathe?!"

You

"Chuuya- Of course, I can breathe, I wasn't even in the water for too long!"

Chuuya

"Gosh... I really don't like the idea of fighting by water, especially since you can't swim."

You

"So what?... We'll lead Atsushi to somewhere away from this area and then we can continue from then on."

Chuuya

"Where did you get...?"

As the two of you sat on the grass, Chuuya held onto your shoulders, checking to see whether you were okay. Chuuya spotted blood on his palm as he looked at it.

You

"Atsushi's got really sharp nails when he uses that damned ability of his, you know"

Chuuya

"But that's a really deep wound!"

You

"Trust me, it's nothing."

Chuuya

"Are you... Sure?... It's bleeding out- Like really bleeding out! This isn't good!"

You

"..." *Inhale* "Okay- Maybe you're right- It's actually kinda starting to sting now."

Chuuya

"Agh- Fuck that were-tiger... He's already drowning in the lake anyways. I knocked him out."

You

"Should we-"

You were interrupted by the loud honking of a train. You turned to face Chuuya after looking in the direction where you heard the noise.

You and Chuuya were both thinking the same thing. You two jumped up and hurried towards the train.

You soon caught up with the train and entered an empty railway car, laughing and playing about.

You

"Chuuya, do you even know where this train's going?"

Chuuya

"Ha, nope! Not at all!"

You

"We'll get lost!"

You chuckled.

Chuuya

"It doesn't matter, as long as I'm with you then we'll find our way back... Hopefully."

You smiled. With you two still soaking wet, the temperature wasn't ideal at night, and the wind made it considerably colder. Even though you were in some random railway car with only a single dim lantern to see with, the weather was capable of reaching you. You searched the random crates for something to keep you warm.

You and Chuuya were drained from wasting all that energy. After only a few minutes of searching, you discovered what appeared to be a very thick blanket.

You wrapped yourself in it and rested on the railway car's walls, but you noticed Chuuya was still searching through the crates.

Chuuya

"Shit... There's nothing here. Did you find anything?"

Chuuya turned around to find you all snuggled up in your blanket.

Chuuya

"... Great."

Chuuya went around to double-check the crates.

You

"... Chuuya,"

Chuuya turned around, this time facing you. You were raising a section of the blanket, indicating to Chuuya that you were willing to share your blanket with him.

Chuuya

"Really?! Is it okay?!"

You

"Yes- Of course it's okay. If I wasn't okay with it, then I'd obviously not be doing this right now. Now hurry up, it's like it's gotten colder."

Chuuya went closer to you shakily, hugging himself because he was so cold. He sat down and wrapped the blanket over himself, becoming warmer by the second.

Chuuya

*Sniffle* "Heh... I think we'll catch a cold."

You

"Yeah, most definitely."

With the blanket wrapped around both of you, you were pretty close.

You

"Why is it like... You don't have much of it?"

Chuuya

"Well cause then you won't have enough, and you'll get cold. I don't want you to get cold."

You

"Chuuya, I'm the one who plays the role of your assistant, remember?"

Chuuya

"Yeah, sure, but I still care about you."

You lifted one edge of the blanket and drew it in slightly, bringing you and Chuuya even closer together. You made it certain that the blanket completely covered Chuuya and you.

Chuuya turned his head to glance at you as you were obviously looking into space. He then began to lean in your direction, resting his head against your chest.

You

"...! Chuuya... Are you drunk?"

Chuuya

"What?! No! I promise- I swear, I didn't drink at all tonight!... Why do you ask?"

You

"Wow, so you still don't remember that night, huh?"

You placed your hand on his head, which was still resting peacefully on your chest. You fiddled with his hair.

Chuuya

"Huh? What night?"

You

"Heh... It was back in Vegas. You got super drunk and wouldn't get off my chest... Literally."

Chuuya

"... I did that?"

You

"Yeah. Honestly, it was funny to see you like that. You were all like, 'Ooh! You smell so nice!', It was fucking hilarious!"

Chuuya

"I said that?!"

You

"Hah, yeah..."

Chuuya

"... Y/N, maybe I do need to control my drinking."
