i need to motivate myself to write so here's an extract of 'if i cross the line' chapter 9 that will come out,,, eventually,,,
chapter 9: nothing can capture the sting
Chuuya squeezes her hands. "You're changing the subject. Why are you here?"
"Well," she grins, "because Chuuya is pining me down and I can't move."
"And you're a piece of shit. Answer the question."
Oh, here they are. Executive Nakahara in action. They're leaning forward, head tilted up to glare at Dazai. If it's how they interrogate all their captives, then Dazai might consider locking herself in the dungeons again. Now that they're even closer, Dazai can catch the details of their scars, the blotches of darker and lighter skin melting together to create the most beautiful painting she's been permitted to see.
She's been staring for too long, she needs to find an answer before it can get suspicious. Too late. A chuckle escape Chuuya's lips as they shake their head.
"I'd tell you freak to take a picture but I bet you took one when I was comatose, didn't ya?" they whisper.
"Chuuya's speaking nonsense again," she sighs.
"Oh yeah? Then tell me why everyone told me you stayed half a day at my bedside? Or how Baudelaire's journal ended up with my stuff?"
"I assume it's a mystery you'll have to solve yourself."
"And I bet this mystery has nothing to do with why you're here? It's a mere coincidence that you just happen to have to deal with a threat on your own right after we lost the motherfucker who forced me to activate Corruption."
