Chuuya was a difficult teenager. He was aggressive, irritable, sarcastic, and snappy.
However, he was a good student, but he received many comments and complaints ... To rehabilitate Chuuya, his parents sent Chuuya, his older brother Verlaine, and his sister Kouyou to the village for the summer. In the village, there was an old house where the three of them could live independently, as their brother and sister were already adults. Chuuya did not like this idea at all! He was planning to go out with his friends, buy and play at an abandoned place, and maybe even get his first girlfriend this summer? Fuck it.
Chuya unloaded his belongings into a room in the attic, after which he decided to go for a walk to explore the new village, or more specifically, to find a store to buy energy drinks. After about an hour, Chuuya had not found anything yet, only wandering into a field of sunflowers. Among the flowers, there was a handsome brown-haired boy with beautiful eyes, and Chuuya's heart began to race ."So, stop, I'm not gay!" - Chuuya thought, and then decided that the most reasonable option was to ask the guy for help.
"-Fuck... Hey, you."
The boy turns his head and tilts his head "Yes?" The boy asked.
"Shit man, do you know where I can find a fucking convenience store around here?" Chuuya asked gruffly, trying to sound tough despite his short stature. "I've been walking for ages and haven't seen jack shit except these stupid sunflowers."
He shifted his weight from foot to foot, acutely aware of how the taller boy towered over him. Chuuya's cheeks flushed slightly as he met the boy's gaze, quickly averting his eyes. "And don't get any weird ideas, asshole. I just need my daily dose of energy drinks, got it? Nothing else!" he added hastily, crossing his arms defensively over his chest
"Wow defensive much?" The boy commented, then says "Mmm fine, you have to buy me 1 canned crab for it as payment though!"
Chuya's eye twitched in annoyance at the tall boy's audacious demand. He clenched his fists, considering decking the smug bastard right in his perfect teeth. But then again, he really fucking needed those energy drinks...
"Ugh, fine! One lousy can of crab, whatever!" Chuuya growled through gritted teeth, glaring up at the boy.
"But this doesn't mean we're friends or nothing, got it? I still think you're a pretentious prick."
He shoved his hands in his pockets, rocking back on his heels as he waited for directions. Chuya tried his best to ignore the way his stomach fluttered traitorously at being so close to the handsome stranger. Stupid hormones! "Well? Are you gonna tell me where to go or what, tall boy?"
"Tall boy, huh? Well then follow me chibi!" The boy says with a teasing tone as he leads you to the convenience store
Chuya scowled fiercely at the demeaning nickname, his face flushing an angry red. He wanted to stomp on Dazai's foot or flip him off, but he held himself back...for now.
"Don't call me that, you asshole!" he hissed under his breath as he followed along behind the boy's tall form. Chuuya had to take two steps for every one of the boy's long strides, stupid long lanky ass legs...
When they finally reached the convenience store, Chuuya bee-lined straight for the energy drink aisle, grabbing a couple of his favorites before stalking over to the canned goods section. "There, happy now?" he grumbled, tossing a single can of crab at the boy.
"Yup!" The boy says with a pop to the p and a sing song tone.
"Whatever, let's just go already", Chuuya muttered, heading for the checkout counter without waiting to see if the boy would follow. As he waited impatiently in line, he couldn't help sneaking glances at the tall boy from the corner of his eye, admiring the way his shirt stretched across his broad shoulders before catching himself and looking away with a huff.
Once outside, Chuuya ripped open a bottle of energy drink with his teeth, taking a long swig as he faced the boy with a challenging glare
The happily stored away the canned crab in his pocket and waves goodbye "See you chibi! Thanks for the crab!"
Chuya sputtered indignantly, nearly choking on his energy drink at the casual use of the insulting nickname once again. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, dark eyes flashing with barely contained rage as he stared Dazai down.
"You absolute fucking dickhead!" he snarled, stomping closer until he was right up in the taller boy's personal space, having to crane his neck to maintain eye contact. "I swear to god, if you call me that one more time, I will knock your teeth down your throat!"
Despite his aggressive words, Chuuya felt a confusing mix of anger, embarrassment, and something else entirely as he stood so near to the boy's imposing presence. His heart raced and palms sweat, but he refused to back down, determined to assert his dominance somehow
The boy was already gone
Chuuya stood there fuming, watching the boy's retreating back disappear around the corner. He kicked at a nearby rock in frustration, sending it skittering across the pavement.
"Goddamn motherfucking son of a bitch!" he swore vehemently, running a hand through his messy red hair. Chuuya knew he should just let it go, that getting worked up over some random asshole's teasing was stupid...but he couldn't shake the lingering irritation and unwanted feelings the boy's presence had stirred up inside him.
With a heavy sigh, Chuuya trudged off in the opposite direction, mind still replaying the encounter. He tried to convince himself that the fluttery feeling in his chest was just anger, that the way his body had reacted to being so close to the boy meant absolutely nothing.
