Shin Soukoku - The useless senpai III

"So we meet again Jinko...", Akutagwa glared at the white-haired boy standing across from him.

"Hmmm", Atsushi gave as an only noise of approval. He had a small smile on his face. Though his eyes seemed empty. This was in itself a good thing because then Akutagawa had NO idea about the storm that was raging inside of him.

Please what was the glare for?! Did Dazai ignore him once again? Atsushi didn't remember anything that he did wrong! This was so frustrating he felt like screaming (which he did quite a lot).

This has now happened quite a lot. Whenever Atsushi met Aku after the last real fight he would receive a glare. A glare with some annoying words. What did he do? Was it the word cute? Could it be that Akutagawa felt annoyed that he was called cute? If that was the case then that would also bind a cute trait...

Every time they met Akutagawa had new threats on his hands. Atsushi TRIED to dodge them. He tried to compliment Aku so much! He tried his best to talk with him about the newest sales or just ANYTHING that wouldn't be used as a threat later on. Though he did not succeed... How did the black-haired boy know so many threats after such a long time?!

"JINKO! Tell me, do you have an extra heart?", Akutagawa said with a cold voice. His lips were deformed into a smile and he slightly tilted his head.

"NO! And you don't have to look for it either!", Atsushi exclaimed while seeking protection behind a box. Could at least one of the conversations this week not end as a threat?! They were at an abandoned warehouse and there was NO way Atsushi would want THAT to be their last meeting place...

Akutagawa coughed a bit. Silence filled the room until Akutagawa spoke up again: "Your hands look heavy-".

"DO NOT THINK ABOUT CUTTING OFF MY HANDS!", Atsushi shrieked and hissed a little bit. "I can work with a leg missing but Kunikida will kill me if I can't finish the paperwork on time!".

"Ah", Akutagawa said sightly coughed into his hand. The two of them looked at each other and there was an awkward silence between them.

Atsushi felt the extreme pressure coming from the man in front of him. Did Akutagawa hate him so much as to show it like THAT? Not even hiding it? Maybe the two of them weren't meant to be... Maybe Kunikida was right to be confused as Atsushi had told him about his crush...

After all, what were the chances that THE Akutagawa would come to love his rival and the one who even had a good life due to Dazai? Atsushi knew himself that his feelings were selfish and that every little hope was more a projection of his hope onto the other one. Yet he still hoped that he could be the one giving Akutagawa both hope and happiness...

"Hey! Are you two even aware that I'm also here?~", Dazai sighed dramatically. Both of them stared in shock at the older man. Oh no. That was the problem Atsushi had forgotten...

Now he only had a split second to decide. He would always choose the good side, no matter what! And with a good side, he meant the side of love!

One swift kick later and Atsushi got rid of the bandaged man. Thankfully they were standing at a river so Atsushi only had to kick his mentor into the water to get some alone time...

Akutagawa probably hated him for hurting his precious Dazai-san but Atsushi didn't care even a little bit. Because first of all would Dazai hurt Aku. And secondly: He would lower Atsushi's chances of growing a tiny bit closer to his crush by about 99.9%.

"Hahahaha~ Did you hear someone talking? Because I didn't~", the tiger said nervously. He was sweating and scratching his neck as well...

Once again he was met with silence. Oh no. Akutagawa was probably furious. Maybe this time Atsushi would not only lose his leg but also his life...

"C-can you pass me an Inhaler?", Akutagawa said while coughing. He looked at the floor, his eyes close. And If Atsushi had to judge his inner state he would say that Akutagawa seemed furious. Oh, crumpets.

Akutagawa cracked his knuckles. His forehead furrowed. He then slowly shook his head. "No", he said, "No. I can't do that-". He then slowly turned around and walked away from Atsushi.

It was as if time had stopped. Everything seemed to be super slow. Though even if Atsushi could register it all within a split second he couldn't move even an inch. He couldn't speak nor run up to Akutagawa. To the man who seemed to walk so slow yet too fast to reach out to...

Why did Atsushi do that?! He probably really hurt Akutagawa... How could he be such an idiot?! He felt like crying. It seemed like he didn't even need Dazai to ruin his potential relationship. He could do it himself just fine...

"I am not going to do this anymore...", he heard the black-haired man whisper as he disappeared behind some boxes. Disappeared to a seemingly unreachable place...

"OH! After all this work put in here you better get your act together!", Atsushi suddenly heard a whisper. A whisper which sounded more like some sort of screaming but in a quiet voice if that made sense.

"You can do it senpai! We all worked so hard for this! You just have to land one blow!", the tiger heard a woman's voice say.

"If it doesn't work I can just kill the only person involved in this easily", Atsushi heard another woman talk. This time he knew the voice for sure as he had been pierced by her sword at least once. Or more by her abilities sword...

And just as those words were finished Akutagawa was once again in sight. Kicked out by a short leg in some black pants.

Their eyes met again. The mafia member then looked back behind the boxes. A clicking sound could be heard. Probably someone drawing a knife.

"Can you pass me an Inhaler?!", Akutagawa asked again. This time with a loud and more stern voice.

Atsushi looked around. There was nothing. And he had no idea what to do. He didn't even know what was going on anymore! He-

"BECAUSE YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY!", was the next thing Akutagawa screamed. He literally screamed it. His face was bright red. His hands clenched into fists.

Cheering could be heard from behind the boxes. There was a "I told you he could do it" and "That line was my idea!" heard as well.

It took Atsushi a moment to realize what was going on. To realize that this was a pickup line. It could still be a joke. It could be bait or it could be an act to embarrass the detective agency member. But did Atsushi care? NO! He was going to just gamble his life away on the possibility that this was real! Even with some more mafia members present!

"SO YOU LIKE ME AS WELL?!"

"WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH 'AS WELL'?!"
