Only With You || Soukoku

|| The Chuuya I Know ||

- Chuuya's POV -

Good morning world! Another day of crap. And another day of annoyance.

What should I do...? I feel like I wanna skip school. I don't wanna see anyone's faces at the moment.

Never mind, I'll just tell auntie I'm not feeling well today...

- Later -

I laid on my bed for hours and fell half asleep. Not realizing that auntie has been knocking on my room several times

"Chuuya..? Can you hear me? Hello?" She called out as she continued to knock

Crap. I locked the door! She must've been very worried

I went up to open the door

"Sorry, au-"

But just before I began to speak, she suddenly burst out and began to ramble

"Why weren't you answering the door, huh? And why is it you're not off to school yet? Isn't it Monday today?" She said as she placed both of her hands on her waist

I started to act out, pretending that I was sick

"S-sorry, auntie... I wasn't feeling that *cough* well... *cough*" I lied

Her mad face started to turn into a concerned-looking one

"Oh... Is that so..? Sorry about that. You can go back to bed now, Chuuya dear..."

I sighed in relief that she believed my story... Hopefully, I won't get caught that I was...

I have to talk to the principal about this. I have to inform him I'm "sick"

I picked up my phone and dialed him...

- A few minutes later -

"Okay, good thing the principal has believed me too... I just have to get to bed for the whole day now.."

- Later -

- Dazai's POV -

"Chuuya hasn't shown up yet. How odd of him to be like that.."

Dang, I have to stop mumbling about him. He's probably not feeling well or something.

Oh well, I just have to wait until the school's over.

It's going to be a long day...

- After school -

(sorry for having too many time skips...)

Just where are you? I can't seem to find you anywhere... Nor either answering my calls and texts.

No sign of him...

I guess this is where it ends, huh?

Because you'd never show up...

But-

It doesn't mean that I'd give up on you...

Because I love you...

- The next day -

"Will he be back..?"

I sat on my table and took my pencil, tapping it in rhythms together with my foot

- Later (again) -

"Sir!" I called out

"Yes, Dazai?" He said and turned around, now facing at me

"Sir. Do you know where Chuuya is..?" I asked, now trembling with all the running, trying to balance myself

"Well, the principal told me that he's not going to be around today. Why?"

"Oh, is that so..? I was about to talk to him about our project.." I mumbled "But.. Thank you for the information, sir! Bye!" I ran off and waved back

"Kids nowadays..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ran as fast as possible until I reached the river to where I used to do my suicide attempts.

I don't feel like I wanna die now. I wanna live for someone... I want to live on and be happy until the end

But does he even like me?

I guess not... He even mentioned this before. Besides, he hasn't told me anything about it anymore...

Pfft. Slim chance... He won't even like a big jerk like me! But at least someone loves him aside from his relatives. And that'd be me.

The next day, my head felt like I was floating in mid-air...

"Hi." He said in a toneless voice

"Chuu...ya..?" I said, mouth dropping in disbelief

I stood up to hug him

"Whe-where were you..?" I asked suddenly

"Just sick. That's all." He said simply

"A-are you mad at me..? If I did, I'm so sorry-"

"Don't mention it." He snapped

W-what..? 

"A-alright.." I stuttered, and quietly sat down
