"Do you... like it?"
"Like what?"
"The room! Isn't it to your liking, Sensei?"
"Just let me go back to my old room, Dazai" you simply state as he innocently smiles.
"But it is... your room I mean"
"Even if it looks the same, the fact that I arrange the book accordingly on days I read not alphabetically"
"It's only... The books?"
"I accidentally spilled my experiment potion on one of the table sides leading it to melt slightly"
"Ah... I didn't think you would care for... Such details"
"Just let me go back to my old office room"
as Dazai shakes his head slightly disapprovingly annoyed.
"No can't do... sensei! What if you left without notice?" Said Dazai as you shook your head slightly.
"I won't leave-"
"You did... thrice"
"Does it include the original timeline? Because I only recall... once"
"Yes"
"Oh? I have a lot of questions, Dazai"
"I know, which is why I can't let you be alone, Sensei"
"I prefer... being alone"
"I know"
"..."
"So, you are still going to let me stay here with you?"
"100% percent, yes"
"Why do you want me to stay here?"
"Can't I... Can you stay with me at all? I don't know what I can do to make you stay beside me"
"Am here in Port Mafia now, there is no need for us to share an office or a room"
"You did stay with Mori-san... that day"
"We don't live in an office and... You try to kill me leading him to make me work just across his table"
"I didn't want to kill you... I just... Felt you were... Leaving me" Dazai frowned more as he couldn't explain what the original Dazai felt about taking such a step... Perhaps he cannot express how he feels either.
You let out a sigh as you approach Dazai.
"Is there a reason... I can't leave you?"
"...you can't... I don't want to lose someone important to me again"
"...Dazai, tell me honestly where you the one who created this world... More likely this alternate reality?"
"..." Dazai gazes away yet, you gently hold both of his hands, his gaze on yours... His lips parted a bit to utter a word yet, not a sound was heard perhaps he couldn't speak or... He doesn't know what he would say.
Your e/c was duller than usual... But somewhere in part, he could feel the same warmth of yours that each day he recalls and missed.
Boss Dazai and the original Dazai are different... He thought to himself but... With each passing day, he realizes he isn't that far apart.
Through the original formed emotions, he knows that the Dazai the real one, is solely attached to you.
Yet he tries not to be like him... To fulfill and have Odasaku a happy life... He will be happier, he can die happily.
The feeling of emptiness still crept into his heart.
Perhaps that is the reason why he chose to bring you back here in the port mafia.
Even though he knows you will not be happy.
But...
"Yes... I make it through the book... For Odasaku" he uttered as your gaze softened. His eyes widened slightly.
He forgot... How different are your eyes that can show many emotions... Unlike the others... He misses the most.
"But if this world is for Oda's happiness... You created by the book but there has to be a link to alter reality... To create this... I-"
Your words halted as Dazai covered your lips with his gloved hand.
His eyes held dullness an empty void of nothingness.
"Don't say it... Sensei please..."
You gently took his hand and he gently shook his head as he did not want to hear it again.
"I... Was the one who should have died... Isn't it? Dazai"
"No..."
"You are lying, aren't you? Even if I'm confused about this... World I was your teacher first, Dazai"
"..."
"Answer me"
"There is nothing to answer, Sensei you are with me now... And Odasaku has a life now, where he can fulfill his wish... And-"
Your gaze never wavered from his as Dazai smiled weakly as he clenched your hand that held his.
"Can't I... have a happy end with you? Instead... Can't I live with you for more days?.. Like we used to?"
"... What do you mean...?"
"It is nothing, Even if I... have to become Boss of the port mafia for Mori-san dead but-"
"Dazai... This isn't the first time we had this conversation right?"
"... It is the first time, Sensei"
"...is it?"
"Well... If you want answers do tell me my answers sensei... Why did you leave Port Mafia... And why did you disappear for about three years? Without a trace?"
"... it's nothing of sort..."
"If... you can't tell me then I won't either"
"..."
"..."
"... Did you... Rewrote the book?"
"...is this another question you are asking? Now?"
"...How many times?"
"...you are very persistent in asking questions sensei"
"Just Answer me, How many times" you asked again as Dazai backed away yet, you held on to his shoulders to stop him from backing away.
"What happened and why did you rewrite it?"
"You won't... Like it, sensei" muttered Dazai as he glanced up at you with a broken smile.
"... What do you mean?"
"If I answer all that you ask... Will you be still... Willing to be with me?"
"...What is that... You did?"
"Just promise me... Sensei you will be with me, right? If I answer your questions?" Asked Dazai stepping forward with his hands on your face.
"That depends... On how you answer it"
"I... Made a perfect plan where I will leave Mafia forever and we can have a happy ending together"
"What... Happy ending?"
"That is something which will be done after the trials I take care of..."
"...it does not answer any of my questions"
"Indeed sensei... But you haven't told me why you disappeared for three years?"
"This isn't just about my disappearance... Isn't it?"
"Yes, it isn't just about it... It is those years I neglected that lead... To your death" said Dazai as he started walking to the bed and took a seat.
"My death?"
"We can talk about it tomorrow, sensei! Why don't you cuddle with me and sleep?" Said Dazai smiling a bit as he patted beside him as you just eyed him with utmost seriousness.
"You can sleep... on your own"
"Mo~ aren't you cruel? I missed cuddling with you! I don't even recall how long has it been"
"...Be serious for... once"
"I am serious sensei, after the plan work we both will be together!"
"What plan are you implying and what brings to my death? And why will you re-" You paused from talking as you stared at him?
Dazai closed his eyes as a frown was present on his lips.
"I rewrote the book for another thing sensei it is not-"
"Dazai be honest as you consider yourself... my student"
"Well yes but you told me I am no longer so... We can take another step for it I mean..."
"Was I ever your teacher in this world?"
"...of course! You taught me a lot of stuff!"
"Like?"
"You taught me how to write... And read and fight more likely you gave up on teaching me how to wield a spear and eventually sent me to any-san to teach me how to fight only to get myself hurt and you eventually watched me how I wield guns and aim of sort and-"
"Those are the training or how it is in original... But I intact do not recall any memories of us being together in fact... I only recall you started calling me teacher after some days you were brought by Mori... Instead, Kouyou never met you in this work Dazai"
"..." Dazai's eyes widen a bit as he smiles wearily.
"O-of course Anee-san knows me... I mean she did stay-"
"She runs away with her lower. When she was 15... Dazai... Your attachment towards me is solely... Because-"
"Of course not! You are my sensei, you cared for me all this time, You are also Odasaku's friend and... Mori-san personally-"
"Indeed he told me to watch over you, indeed it is true I recall you as someone close to me"
"Then-"
"But... The fact even I feel it does not add up to me... Dazai... I was supposed to die instead of Mori-san"
"No"
"Don't deny it..."
"You don't understand... You don't have to die!"
"Then why-"
"Mori-san is alive, But he no longer wants to be a part of the Mafia leading me to take over but... But you are not making sense sensei... You are meant to be with me"
"No, I am not"
"You were... Instead, you shouldn't have left Mafia... You-"
"The fact that even you are not making sense Dazai, I was never your supposed teacher in this reality"
"Who cares about if you are not? You were my teacher in the original world!"
"Original world or alternate world... Is different this world is created by you for Oda's happy end... But we are living in it Dazai, Even if you try to deny it... You and I both know... We-"
"I know, I know it... Before all this... It is like a real world where I only wrote Odasaku's life to be happier... And the book just created... It... But... It was a world... We are living the Dazai in there is not me... But the feelings we felt are the same..."
"..."
"Don't leave me like the original one... Don't leave me again, never should I want you to go"
"Why are you so persistent on me staying with you?"
"I don't know... I don't care... I don't want to think anymore... Sensei..."
"..." You let out a sigh after a minute of silence as Dazai was quiet.
About to go to clear your mind you were about to head to the bathroom to wash up.
"Where are you... going?"
"Bathroom, A lot to take in of information by what you just phrased" you simply replied as Dazai frowned more.
"You won't leave will you?"
"To where? Can't I have a bathroom break now?"
"... You can... Just be quick... I guess"
You just huffed and went to the bathroom with Dazai seated on the bed with thoughts trailing in his mind.
'Why and how does Dazai know our time... Verse is different? It shouldn't have altered much but... Why does he know it?' Thought Dazai as he approached the window and let out a sigh as the moonlight glowed over the sky.
'Is it wrong for me... to stop him from leaving me?'
