Chuuya made his way into the hospital carrying some roses. He asked for the room number and headed up. When he opened the door he saw a sleeping Dazai. Dazai was diagnosed with a cancer that slowly spread to the rest of his body. It was only a matter of time before he dies.
“Hey Dazai. I brought you crab and roses since you like those.” Chuuya said, placing them down. Dazai opened his eyes and smiled. “If it isn’t chibi. I Never expected you to be here.” He laughed, coughing after. “Jeez We haven’t seen each other in a while and you go ahead and get sick.” Chuuya laughed. “Yeah, sorry about that hehe.” He laughed as-well
After they ate their food they decided to watch a cringy love movie. They giggled and laughing throughout the movie. The movie finally ended and Dazai got up. “That was so bad!” He laughed. Chuuya nodded while smiling “Agreed.” He chuckled. Chuuya noticed something..off. He looked at Dazais heart monitor. His heart beats were slower. “Dazai are you feeling okay?” He asked then looked back at him. Dazai was pale. “Dazai? Dazai?!” He moved over to him and shook him. “DAZAI!” He yelled. The nurses heard him and came over. “Is everything alright?!” The nurse yelled. “No! He needs help now!” The nurse nodded and left.
Dazais eyes slowly turned to him. “Chuuya. I’m going to die.” He laughed slowly. Chuuya started tearing up. “No. You won’t. Just breathe.” He knew that wouldn’t help but he could only hope. “Chuuya..” he grabbed his hand. Chuuya gripped it. “I lo-“ and it went quiet.
The only sound was the heart monitor holding about that deafening sound.
And The sound of the sheets under Chuuya. Dazais hand went limp. He was cold.
Chuuya wailed. He hugged him. Begging for him to wake up.
To get up and say he was joking.
To laughing again.
To hold him while he cried.
The nurses tried to get him out but decided to leave him. “Dazai, please.” He cried.
He cried for hours. He finally left when it was around 4am. He looked like a ghost. He decided to drink away his sorrows. Maybe being drunk will let him forget about this.
Even when he was drunk he still was sad. There was a pit in his heart that alcohol couldn’t fill. Dazai never got to finish his, “I love you” before he died.
And he never got to hear an “I love you too.” From chuuya.
