❝ . . . those fuckers . c’mon , kiddo , you’ll be alright . . . i got ya . ❞ the redhead was sitting down on the floor with their rescue , brushing white strands from the child’s face as he checked them over for wounds and punctures , any remaining breaks in the skin that were more than superficial at worst . once chuuya had checked ( & rechecked like a worried mother ) , he stood up to take their victim by the hand and pull the child over his shoulders, forcing himself to lean slightly forward and find a balance between rocking completely forward or falling backwards . ( he tossed their doll , a god awful ugly little patchwork doll , to their partner , so he could focus on carrying their target upstairs back to the entrance . ) that way , chuuya didn’t have to worry about suddenly getting possessed by their ability -- yumeno’s was a real piece of work .
( admittedly , chuuya paused to check his phone . he’d sent the location outside of yokohama’s main district , in the sea of trees where the country began to reveal itself . it read the current status of the message : SEEN AT 1:42 AM . what the fuck were they doing awake at that kind of time ? ... could be anything . for chuuya , he was smack dab in the middle of his shift with the port mafia & today was that special occasion where it took him outside the typical borders . for his new neutral friend ? who knew . probably doing something stupid . or being annoying . shopping maybe ? what a pain in the ass . ) clearing vines with one hand and a knife , chuuya began the long climb up the stairs with dazai ahead of him , yapping endlessly about something or other ... probably insults to his fucking outfit again , as chuuya simply focused on listening to their surroundings . if he didn’t refocus , he was a liable to kill dazai as he was to make this rescue a success .
the kid’s breathing , the nature outside , the wind , the trees ... nightlife . calm as ever for now . there wasn’t a single alarming sound , nothing other than the steps the two were taking up the staircase & back into observable view . if that unit outside was still active , they’d report that soukoku had finished the job with immaculate results . yeah , okay , maybe a treaty between the port mafia & armed detective agency was the only thing saving dazai from his wrath right now . this was it though , as soon as this mission was over , he was going to find the opportunity to punt dazai off a fucking cliff somewhere and give him his stupid suicide . granted : it’s a murder - suicide ... but suicide all the same . one more word about his choice in outfit and that’s it , he’s kicking dazai at the fucking moon . you know ? he’d rather deal with mr neutral . at least that guy had fucking taste and knew when to shut the fuck up instead of merrily digging his grave without a single warning bell in earshot -- which is exactly what chuuya knew he was doing . / @lureri
