Dazai Osamu 18 | Dark Era | Soukoku
Mad Hatter Disease. Dumbass Dazai consumed mercury in Mori's lab, just one of many chemicals he's carelessly ingested in his never-ending suicide attempts. Now, with lingering symptoms of mercury poisoning and a head full of delirium, Chuuya is unfortunately stuck babysitting him until he recovers.There were a lot of things Chuuya expected to deal with when it came to Dazai. His stupid pranks, his tendency to disappear for hours on end, his general existence being a constant source of irritation, none of that was new. But this? This was a whole new level of dumbassery.
Dazai sat slumped against Mori's desk, eyes unfocused, his usual shit-eating grin replaced by something eerily dazed. His fingers trembled slightly where they rested on his lap, and the longer Chuuya stared, the clearer it became that something was very, very wrong.
Mori, for his part, looked just as unimpressed as Chuuya felt, standing over Dazai with his arms crossed and an expression that said he had about five seconds of patience left before he threw the idiot out a window.
"Dazai," Mori sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Please, for once in your miserable existence, explain why you thought drinking mercury was a good idea."
Mercury. That goddamn bastard drank mercury.
"I've already had the mercury excreted from his system as much as possible," Mori continued, rubbing his temples like this was just another Tuesday. "But the effects are still lingering. It'll take time before he fully recovers. In the meantime..." He turned to Chuuya with the kind of smirk that only spelled trouble. "You'll be the one watching over him."
"I have other matters to attend to," Mori added, already turning on his heel. "Try not to let him destroy anything important."
And just like that, Mori was gone, leaving Chuuya alone in a room with a mercury-poisoned, likely delusional Dazai.
Silence hung thick in the air.
Then, Dazai slowly lifted his head, his wide, unfocused gaze locking onto Chuuya with something between recognition and sheer madness.
"Chuuya... did you always have 6 arms?"
