Chapter 11: Driver

——

He didn't know if he wanted to scream or cry as he was reliving the final moments of his first true friend in his head. It was a pain to watch it happen all over again. The only reason he had flirted with Sasaki earlier was because he was too worried about infecting you with his bad luck. But of course, no one was safe from death when around him. The only one cursed to never die and get hurt seemed to be him. His curse was to sit back and watch misfortune come across all of his loved ones. And he was just so tired...

Meanwhile, Kunikida yelled, "THEY DIDN'T TAKE LONG IN FINDING US!" Then, the driver burst out of the taxi screaming. "HEY!"

"I DON'T WANNA DIE!" Also at that moment, Atsushi leaped out of the back of the car as Dazai carefully carried you out of the car in his arms, looking down at you fearfully.

Kunikida leaped out after him. "WAIT!"

A few seconds later, Kunikida and Atsushi heard panicked screaming from the person they least expected. "(Y/N), stay awake! STAY AWAKE! I CAN'T LOSE YOU!"

Both of them turned around to see that Dazai was carrying your body, tears falling down his pale cheeks. Both Atsushi and Kunikida's eyes widened in astonishment. While the weretiger felt a few stray tears fall down his cheeks at the thought that you might've been dead.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Kunikida was now panicking as the sound of guns firing continued on in the background. He leaned forward, inspecting the subtle motions of your chest that indicated you were still alive and still breathing. "THEY'RE STILL ALIVE! WE NEED TO CALL FOR HELP QUICK!"

"Mr. Kunikida," Atsushi whimpered as he showed his phone, "th-there's no service here!"

"DAMMIT!" Kunikida cried, "THEY MUST BE JAMMING THE SYSTEM! ALRIGHT, HERE'S THE PLAN: I'LL DISTRACT THEM, ATSUSHI WILL GO GET THE DRIVER, AND DAZAI WILL TAKE (Y/N) BACK TO THE AGENCY! GOT IT?"

While Atsushi started running to get the driver, Dazai didn't seem to hear anything Kunikida was yelling at him. He was too busy thinking about the fact that you were dying in his arms. It's exactly like his death...

Kunikida screamed, "DAZAI! LISTEN TO ME!" He then slapped his partner across the cheek. "PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! IF YOU DON'T, (Y/N) WILL DIE!"

The slap seemed to pull Dazai out of his thoughts as he simply nodded his head and held your only half-conscious body to his chest. Meanwhile, all you could think of was the calming scent of vanilla as it lulled you into a peaceful slumber.

"Ability: Doppo Poet: Stun Grenade!" Kunikida rolled the grenade towards the attackers before turning around to see Dazai running away, carrying you bridal style. Please, he thought with a sigh, be okay, for the sake of us all...

Meanwhile, Dazai was desperately trying to get in touch with Yosano. His phone was ringing in his hand that he held towards your chest. He had put it on speaker just in case Yosano ever did answer.

Suddenly, you breathed out a name that Dazai was shocked beyond belief to hear. "Chuuya... thank you for the flowers..."

"How do you know him?" Dazai looked down at you, questioning your loyalty to the agency for a second before sighing, "that's the least of my concern now, actually... I'm sorry for all of this, (Y/N)."

"Dazai," a familiar voice groaned, "what do you want now? Please don't tell me Kunikida just saved you from another suicide attempt and you need me to help you..."

"YOSANO!" He screamed, looking at his phone to see that he had finally gotten some cell reception. "IT'S (Y/N)! WE NEED YOU TO COME PICK US UP NOW!"

"Oh," she gasped, voice sounding more panicked. Dazai could hear her voice vibrate as she started to rush and gather her car keys and bag of medical supplies. "I'LL BE RIGHT THERE, DAZAI! WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?"
