Dazai Osamu was never meant to live to 22. It was a miracle chosen by God that his previous attempts failed! He shouldn't have even met Kunikida Doppo, the light of his life, the man who could almost give him a reason to not do what he was about to do.
But he had to give Doppo a proper present.
And what was a better gift than his fucked up useless fiancee dead? Surely there was nothing better than this! And if he failed like he always did, he have some chocolates ready for when he inevitably failed and awoke to Doppo's ever disappointed face as an apology and a back up gift…
First though, he had to set it up, it'd be such the perfect gift, there would be a hunt for clues as to what it was! Then there would be the oh so romantic rose petals leading to his apartment of course! Why wouldn't there be?
Ah so much to do, and only a few hours to prepare before Doppo woke up to begin… he ought to begin.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Kunikida Doppo was an organized man. Always needing to be right on schedule or else everything felt… wrong. As if he forgot to wake up a part of his brain.
So when he woke up to the letter from his dear fiancee for Valentine's day, he was glad his assumption of Osamu having a surprise for him was correct, and he didn't clear the day's schedule for no reason. Now just to follow the clues for the idiot's game. Starting with the first letter.
A day never shall I ever forget. A place for we shared our first kiss.
Doppo remembered the place so clearly, the port watching the sky after a case, Osamu had given him such a small peck he hadn't even computed it!! Going there, he was able to find the next letter, he was quite glad that his memory was still sharp, unlike how to seemed to be for that dumbass.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Doppo would be awake by now, Dazai knew this, yet as he was getting the rope ready, he could only ponder how his dear would react…. Horror perhaps, screaming in panic as he spots his fiancee's lifeless body? Perhaps grief once he saw Dazai's empty eyes that were always so bright when looking at Doppo? Or maybe Kunikida would be angry at him…
On the other end of the slide, he wondered how he would react to seeing Doppo's corpse… he ceased that train of thought as soon as it began.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Throughout the day, Doppo had wandered the city, seeing places where they had such warm and sweet memories, some much warmer than others… and now he was led back to Dazai's house by the final note.
He chuckled warmly seeing the flower petals as he entered, and hung his coat quietly.
Quietly one man entered to his fiancee's room.
Silently a second man hung from the fan in his room.
Loudly the first would sob and get his dearest down.
Dead would be the second's heartbeat.
On the bed were some chocolates, half eaten by a man who would no longer cackle in delight at causing chaos.
The other half would remain uneaten on the bed, until the rot got to them.
