Chapter Text
It had been a month now, a month of wondering the streets of Yokohama, and a week since his mothers body was found, it took longer then expected, or maybe it was to be expected since the women didn’t work, and had no friends or family. No one even knew she had a son, not that they would be able to tell, Shuji looked nothing like his mother, with brown eyes and hair. His mother had black hair and green eyes, maybe that’s why she hated him so much, he was a carbon copy of his father, or that’s what he assumed, he’d actually never met the man.
Either way, Shuji didn’t want to be shuji anymore, how could he when the only person that knew your name, you killed?
He sighed, he’d have to come up with a new one, sooner or later, but right now he need food. He looks around the empty streets, he was probably close to or in the slums right now, who knew? The little boy looks around, trying to find somewhere he can steal food or money. After 30 minutes of looking around, he doesn’t find anything, no shops or restaurants or people just walking around that he could pickpocket, he’d gotten really good at stealing. There were only abandoned houses and buildings, which would become handle when he needs a place to stay.
shuji continus to walk, and walk, looking for something- anything. He eventually sees this large building, it looks expensive, like a lab, it’s white and long, no secon story but maybe an underground lab?
shuji stays hidden in a bush, seeing guards outside, whatever this is, it’s important, and he needs to leave, right as he’s about to turn around, an explosion completely destroys the whole building, suji is thrown back, and he knocks out.
————
shuji wakes up in a start, something, is patting at his face, like a dog, ugh he hates dogs, he groans as he sits up, opening his eyes to not see a dog, it’s a redhead boy, he looks the same age as Shuji, but he looks small, well Shuji also is small, but this boy is so small.
“A-are you okay?” The redhead boy asks,
“Um, yeah.. im fine” Shuji says, rubbing his eyes. “We’re did you some from? Did the explosion draw you here?”
The little boy shakes his head, “no, I made t-the explosion”, the boy says, with a small frown.
“Wow, you made a whole building explode? How?”
The boy, Shuji should really ask for his name, nods, and frowns again. “God.. in me.. he made everything explode..”
Shuji blinks a few times, “a God is inside you? How’s that possible?”
The boy shrugs stiffly, clearly uncomfortable, Shuji changes the subject.
“What’s your name?”
“I don’t know.. what’s yours?”
“I don’t have one” Shuji lies, easily.
“Why don’t we give each other names then?”
The red headed boy nods, a small smile on his face, it makes a part of Shuji chest swell, but he ignores the weird sensation.
“I’ll name you first, what about chibi, since you’re so small” Shuji grins, clearly teasing, the redhead boy blushes and shakes his head.
“I’m not small!”
“Whatever you say.. okay then what about.. chii.. chuu.. chuuya?” Shuji nods, a proud smile on his face, he points to now dubbed Chuuya, “you’re Chuuya! Chuuya Naka…hara, Chuuya Nakahara.” Shuji nods, the redhead- Chuuya nods, seeming liking the name.
“Now you have to give me a name”
Chuuya looks around, trying to find inspiration.
“O… O.. Omi?” He says hesitantly.
Shuji scrunches his face, “that’s a girls name, something different!”
Chuuya huffs and starts again, “o~ o~.. osamu?”
Shuji looks complicate and then nods. “Yeah! Now give me a last name!”
Chuuya beams, and with new confidence blurts out a name. “Dazai,”
Osamu smiles, “Osamu Dazai.. I like it”
