THE BOOK

[flamingprick]

[So somebody went looking around in Dazai's room to see if he left a note or something, and he found a book instead! Which he is going to promptly take with him as he goes off to find Akira and Ichigo. Because this feels like something important he should share with them.

And also he can't fucking read this shit either. Someone's going to have to read it out loud to him.

And hopefully he doesn't come across a certain shounen idiot who isn't supposed to be climbing four flights of stairs right now, because that would be a problem. HMMMM.]

[none of this is surprising, really. it's everything Akira had picked up on between the lines. it's exactly what Akira expected Dazai to do after their conversation, and he even told Ichigo as such. but still. . . hearing that he had planned it all along, hearing confirmation of Akira's concerns from Dazai's own mouth? that takes the wind right out of him]

[he drops his hand on Ichigo's knee the entire time he reads, and when the letter is finished, Akira's shoulders are hunched so tightly that it hurts the wound still carved in his back. it hurts, but he doesn't care]

Damn it. . .! Dazai, you stupid--

[he jerks back, just long enough to bring his fist down against the arm of the wheelchair, knuckles white]
