Dazai is not dead, which is a huge disappointment to many people including himself. Not for lack of trying but still, he's alive and being alive means he must find some entertainment in the whole thing. That's a hard task but lately, he's been trying to enjoy the smaller things in life, (like Chuuya, mentally he makes a note to repeat that joke later) such as fresh bandages, canned crab, and tormenting people that are scared of him. He's indulging in that last one now, a fact that makes being in UA far more tolerable.
After their little introduction, Aizawa began class like nothing was amiss. Something was amiss though and even now Dazai can feel stares boring into his back, as he had been the one to actually pull the trigger and kill Mt. Lady the class seem more scared of him than of Chuuya. Ironic, given that Chuuya could easily kill them all in a matter of moments even with the Ability nullifying handcuffs. If he had any empathy he might feel pity for the kids sitting around him that are clearly on edge, he doesn't though so he finds the whole thing quite entertaining. Even just shifting in his seat causes the kid behind him to begin sweating, he knows this because he makes a comment about it every time without fail. When Dazai leans forward the kid audibly sighs in relief, so naturally he took it upon himself to lean back and forth repeatedly. So far he has heard 16 different ways to phrase 'this sweat dulls my sparkle', his favourite so far being 'moisture like this is so anti-twinkle.' The next fight he and Chuuya get in he will find a way to use that line and it will be glorious.
Dazai leans back and fights a smirk as the kid makes a sound of discomfort, absent-mindedly he wonders how quickly he could make someone cry. He'll have to pretend to be more reserved for the next few days, maybe only cause trouble when Aizawa is present to stop retaliation, hide behind Chuuya a little, things that will make him seem less of a threat. Oh, maybe he could even irritate that blondie from earlier into hitting him and then act all pitiful afterwards, really drive home the misguided pitiful teenager thing. After an appropriate amount of 'settle in' time he can start acting out a bit more, throw in a few more suicide references, make a few kids cry etc. Dazai hadn't really planned out how to act while at UA so he may as well just go with the flow for now.
Oh, he might even make a bet with Chuuya to see how long it takes for Dazai to make someone cry, judging on the reaction from the kid behind him it would only take an hour, maybe less, of concentrated attention. He would have to pick the right target though, a few of these kids don't look like the crying type.
For example, the kid sitting next to him. To the untrained eye, he would look largely unaffected by Dazai's presence, but it's painfully obvious to Dazai that the kid is just as scared as his classmates. His chair is pushed as far away from Dazai as it can go, not to mention how he is physically leaning away. It's a valiant attempt at looking unbothered, even more so when the kid glances at Dazai. Their eyes lock and the kid turns away a moment later, still somehow acting all brave. Tormenting the kid behind him loses its fun when a new target is presented to him, a target that will be tougher to crack and have a more enjoyable reaction as a result.
The guy has a mutant Quirk, evident by the huge tail slung over his shoulder, which Dazai has always found himself curious if No Longer Human would work on mutants. Transformative Abilities are always temporary, which is to say that the user has a fully human state to return to when their Ability is nullified. Mutant-type Quirks are different though as the person is permanently like that, if he had to guess then Dazai would say No Longer Human wouldn't work, or at least not in the same way it works on Abilities. It would be hilarious if he leaned over and touched the guy right now and his tail just disappeared, the chaos that would cause would be very entertaining. It would also be useful information to get this early on, should the plan go sideways then it would be best to know all variables to plan for fights. Naturally, Chuuya could take them all down in a matter of moments but it's nice to have a backup plan where Dazai actually does something.
A few minutes later Aizawa turns his back to the class and Dazai swiftly takes the opportunity to act on his hypothesis. Given how close the desks are it only takes a little leaning out of his chair for his bare hand to come into contact with the tail, not a second later the kid whips his head around to stare at Dazai in shock and fear. That's exactly the reaction he was hoping for, although the fact the tail doesn't disappear is somewhat disappointing.
What's even more disappointing is when not a moment later Aizawa has his hand on Dazai's wrist pulling his arm away, "What are you doing?"
Dazai looks up at his serious tone and pouts, "I wasn't going to hurt him, Sensei, promise," his tone is equally sarcastic and innocent, "There aren't any mutants in Yokohama, you can't hate me for being curious, right?" Aizawa does not say anything, perhaps using the time to think up an appropriate response. In contrast, Dazai uses the time to lean backwards, to his delight the kid behind him makes yet another comment, and locks eye contact with tail-guy once more, "Hey," he starts, "If I cut that tail off would it grow back like a lizards?"
Tail-guy looks faintly sick at the idea, so the answer is probably no. Aizawa does not look pleased by his question but Dazai could not care less, he's already gained some useful information and entertainment so whatever happens now isn't a concern. "Don't ask questions like that. You can't go around touching people just because you're curious either, apologise to Ojirou-kun." Aizawa says in a stern tone.
Dazai slumps down in his chair before waving his still-captured arm around, "Fine fine, my deepest apologies." Not a single person would believe he is actually apologetic from his tone or actions, but what can they do about it? As far as Dazai knows UA doesn't incorporate physical punishment, then again he isn't a typical student so the typical rules might not apply… Oh well, maybe the pros will be nice enough to put him out of his misery.
Above him, Aizawa sighs before letting his arm go, "Have you even been listing to the lesson?"
"Of course not," Dazai responds with a grin. He had listened for the first few minutes but quickly abandoned that in favour of tormenting his new classmates, not to mention that the current topic does not interest him at all. Despite never attending formal school he's already far more knowledgeable than anyone else in this class, the only topic that may be interesting would be history. Of course, Dazai is familiar with Yokohama's history but he never bothered to learn about the outside world much, it may however come in handy knowing about the origins of Quirk and pro heroes later in this mission. Aizawa was talking about something else though, current news or something boring like that. Dazai already knows what the current news is, most of it is about him after all.
"Well, you need to start listening then," Aizawa turns to the other side of the room, "Nakahara, what about you?" If Dazai knows the Chibi well, and he is very confident he does, then his answer will be…
"Oh, uh, yes?"
Ah, such a predictable Chibi. While there is no doubt that Chuuya was paying attention to Aizawa he likely stopped listening to the lecture just as quickly as Dazai had. Rather than actually learning he would have been playing the perfect guard dog by keeping himself on the lookout for any immediate threats while assessing which order he should take out their new classmates should the need arise. Having someone as diligent as Chuuya gives Dazai ample time to slack off, partnering with the slug does have its benefits.
Clearly seeing through Chuuya's terrible attempt at lying Aizawa sighs once again, "You two will be sitting exams with the rest of the class at the end of term, I would recommend paying attention."
Aizawa then turns his back and begins making his way back to the front of the class and Dazai sticks his tongue out childishly at the man. High school exams, written or physical, will be a breeze for both of them.
-
The lesson didn't last much longer after Dazai's interruption, since he and Chuuya had arrived late they had missed most of the morning classes. That means next up is lunch, which will surely be an interesting event. Aizawa told them that typically they would have early lunch to be separated from the rest of the student body but today is an exception, although he hadn't explained what exactly will happen. Where will they sit? Dazai doubts they'd be allowed in the dining hall, so maybe the staff room. That doesn't sound too bad, while he had already researched UA's staff it would be helpful to know how they act in a more private setting. Not to mention that All Might himself might be there.
Mori had been brief with the information regarding All for One, either because he wants Dazai to figure things out himself or because he simply doesn't have that much on the guy. For now, Dazai knows this; All for One is All Might's biggest enemy and has been since the dawn of Quirks. How that works, Mori hadn't elaborated on, but Dazai guesses All Might's Quirk must be transferable. That raises the question of who his predecessors were and, most importantly, who his successor is. It isn't relevant information but it would be handy to know, anyway, for some reason All for One is no longer satisfied with ruling the underground of the rest of Japan and now wants Yokohama under his control. An ambitious decision, even more so when his little League of Villains is also trying to take down hero society as a whole. Any information he can glean from All Might about the man would be very helpful.
Dazai shelves those thoughts as Aizawa gestures for him and Chuuya to get up. With only a little bit of reluctance, he does so, when the duo get close enough Aizawa speaks, "You'll be in the staff room for lunch today, follow me." Without waiting for a response he begins walking out of the classroom, likely wanting to beat the crowd of students that will soon be leaving lesson.
The walk, which was spent in silence, doesn't take too long and soon they arrive at the staff room. Aizawa enters a code, which Dazai observes to be 0812, before holding the door wide open, "I'll get you something to eat, any preferences?"
Chuuya walks through the door first, "Whatever is fine."
Dazai trails along a moment after, "I want crab!" Just before he enters the room he pauses and leans into Aizawa, despite this his voice is no quieter than before, "Oh, you should get Chuuya some milk, he needs it to grow you see."
Aizawa nods passively at the comment while Chuuya curses him out, not that Dazai is paying him any attention. Instead, he shoots Aizawa a thankful smile before finally entering the staff room, predictively multiple pro heroes stare at him with clear distrust. No All Might, which is a shame, but there are a few others he made note of during his research. Despite being the ones in control the pros seem to be waiting for him and Chuuya to do something, this turns into a stand-off between them and Chuuya who is waiting for the same thing. It's amusing to see but Dazai can't be bothered standing here for who knows how long so he'll make the first move.
The room itself is fairly simple in layout, on the opposite wall from the door is a small kitchenette area decked out with a microwave, kettle, and sink. The counters are crowded with empty cups and different snacks, altogether creating a very well-used appearance. Filling the space between the kitchenette and the door sits a large sofa and coffee table, the latter having cup stains engrained into the wood. Across from the sofa, and right to the door, is where the teachers all find themselves seated. Six tables, arranged in back-to-back rows of three, fill the remaining space in the room. The only other thing of note is the cupboards and filling cabinets that line the walls where possible, overall the room seemed like any old staff room you could find anywhere in the country, the only major difference being the pro heroes that occupy the space.
Taking Chuuya by the arm, he can't see too confident after all, Dazai makes his way over to the sofa and promptly plops down. It's surprisingly soft, maybe better than the one in Chibi's office even, would it be inappropriate to take a nap right now? Probably, but it would annoy Chuuya so maybe…
As if sensing his intentions Chuuya elbows Dazai from where he sits beside him. He doesn't say anything, which gives Dazai the chance to misinterpret his actions and make a fuss, "Owww, Chuuya! Why'd you hit me?"
The pros still watch on cautiously as Chuuya rolls his eyes, "I don't need a reason."
Dazai pouts at him with a response on the tip of his tongue when something catches his eye or rather someone. One of the pros glances between them like he intends to say something but isn't sure if he should yet. His appearance is very distinctive, what with the blond hair pointing upwards, so it doesn't take Dazai long to remember his name from the research he did. Present Mic, real name Yamada Hizashi. At UA he teaches English and along with being a pro hero he also runs a wildly popular radio show. Public opinion of the man is good, he rarely causes property damage or hurts innocents, an all-rounder really. His Quirk, Voice, would be rather annoying to deal with should they have to fight the man. Being close range guarantees burst eardrums, that would make nullifying his Quirk troublesome. If it came down to it then the best course of action would be to have Chuuya manipulate large objects into hitting the man, that way they could both could keep their distance and hopefully avoid any hearing damage.
Yamada takes his momentary silence as an opportunity to speak, "You two are the new students, yeah?"
Dazai turns his attention on the man, "Yep." He could have answered with more words, something that would make it easier to continue the conversation but doing that would make things too easy for the pro. If he really is the 'ultimate extrovert' as the media say then he can put the work in.
To his credit he doesn't seem off put by the one-word answer, "Well, it's nice to meet you both! I teach English, so you can call me Yamada-sensei." He flashes them a smile and Dazai vaguely wonders if the first half of that sentence was honest, it likely wasn't given they had murdered a fellow pro in cold blood. Maybe he's already fallen for the pitiful teenagers act, or maybe he's just trying to be polite.
Dazai glances over at Chuuya and has to bite back a laugh. His facial expression… well, at least he's trying to hide his thoughts of 'what the fuck' even if he isn't doing that well at it. It has to be the hairstyle that's causing such an expression, or maybe it's the tiny but well-groomed moustache. Even if they fail this mission, which they won't, getting to see Chuuya's dramatic expressions would make all the work worth it.
An awkward silence settles in the room only to be broken a few moments later by Yamada, "So, you kids got any hobbies?" It's a painfully bland question for the situation, one that Dazai is almost tempted to answer in the most outrageous way possible. 'Killing people', 'torture', 'attempting suicide', any of those answers would cause big reactions by the pros in the room, which could be fun. But he also has the chance to poke fun at Chuuya with his answer, ah what a hard decision…. Actually, it's an easy decision, Chuuya's reactions are far more fun than anything the pros could do.
"I enjoy the small things in life," he starts with a mischievous smile, "Like Chuuya!"
As expected Chuuya hits him in the stomach with no mercy, "Stop callin' me short! You're barely any taller than me!"
Dazai shrugs, "You look pretty small to me."
In an impressive show of restraint, Chuuya simply glares at him, clearly wanting to hit him but holding back. Instead of following through on the unspoken threat of violence he instead turns to face Yamada, "I like arcade games and riding my bike."
Yamada nods with an encouraging smile, "You have a bicycle? That must be fun."
Chuuya gives him an incredulous look, "Bicycle? No, I have a motorbike." A metal death trap that Dazai hates being on, mainly because Chibi uses his Ability when driving far too often. What if he forgets Dazai is on the back and tries to drive up a wall? Chuuya had argued that it would be impossible to forget he was there due to two factors. One, how tightly Dazai squeezes Chuuya and two, his near-constant screaming when they go around corners. Maybe his points are valid, but still, if he has a choice then he avoids the bike as much as possible.
One of the other pros gives Chuuya a scandalous look. The pro in question goes by Midnight, real name Kayama Nerumi. She's fairly popular, mainly due to her revealing outfit and personality. Her Quirk might pose Chuuya a challenge depending on how quickly and high it can spread, but Dazai should be able to easily nullify it at the source. Less of a threat than Yamada but she could still be annoying to deal with. "Aren't you a little young to be driving?" She asks in an almost teasing tone. Either she's already forgotten about the extent of their crimes or she's trying to lighten the mood, Dazai can't tell.
"I don't think me driving underage is all that important, not compared to the other illegal shit I do," Chuuya answers casually, the room then falls back into an awkward silence as the pros are no undoubtedly remember their fallen comrade.
The silence continues until Aizawa returns with two lunches in hand and, to Dazai's delight, a milk carton.
-
When Dazai was told he would be getting a therapist he had quite a few expectations. In his mind he expected some plain-faced pro that he could easily manipulate into giving false reports about his mental health, he expected to have the upper hand in all interactions with said therapist. He would go into a session and put on a good show, act like a disturbed little child and then go about his day. It didn't matter who the therapist was in that scenario because he's very confident when manipulating people and even if they were resistant then he had a rather simple backup plan. With all the things Dazai has been through and seen if he were to dump it all onto one person without giving them a break, well, they would probably go insane. Having the therapist quit on him could help further the mission after all.
He did not expect for the therapist to be the principal of UA, Nedzu. The mouse-bear looks on at him with a smile, perhaps unaware of the wrench he has thrown into Dazai's plan. If Nedzu's intelligence really is as impressive as everyone seems to believe then manipulating him will be a lot harder, had it been anyone else… Why isn't it anyone else actually? Yes, Dazai intentionally showed off a bit by identifying Aizawa, he wanted to catch Nedzu's attention after all, but being his personal therapist? That seems like too much interest, Nedzu couldn't have possibly seen through him already, right?
The principal pours two cups of tea, unaware of Dazai's thoughts, "Do let me know what you think of the tea, it's my favourite blend." Nodding Dazai takes the cup, part of him wants to analyse Nedzu's actions and attempt to pre-determine if the plan has been seen through. However, common sense dictates that he acts as normal as possible in this situation, if Nedzu has ulterior motives then he's bound to slip up at some point. Besides, Nedzu will need proof of their plan to do anything about it- which Dazai was very careful to make sure no such evidence exists. The only feasible evidence Nedzu could collect would be a confession from either him or Chuuya, which won't happen. Chuuya is beyond stubborn and loyal, even on his deathbed he wouldn't rat the Port Mafia out, not to mention that he simply doesn't know that much about the plan anyway. Dazai doesn't have the same stupid loyalty but that doesn't make him an easier target, no, not even the worst torture could get Port Mafia secrets out of him. Nedzu will be forced to lose interest if Dazai acts boringly normal.
Taking a sip of his tea Dazai makes a show of contemplating the flavour, "It's alright."
Nedzu nods at his words, "I'm glad to hear that!" He sets his cup down and picks up a folder, when he opens it Dazai can see it's filled with the information they have on him, which to say isn't a lot. The mouse-bear takes a second to read the information before looking back up at him, "I'm sure you're curious as to why I'm your therapist."
Dazai shrugs in a way that should come across as nonchalant but otherwise doesn't respond. Seeing that Dazai has no intention to verbally respond Nedzu continues, "You see, Dazai-kun, I think you're a lot more intelligent than your peers. As a teacher, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't allow that intelligence to grow under my care."
"I'm flattered! Ah, if only Chuuya was as kind as you are." Dazai responds in a childish tone. What he really wants to say is, 'How smart do you think I am?'
Nedzu laughs a little, "The two of you do seem to have a rather unique relationship! Having such a blunt partner, well, I'm sure it keeps you from getting too arrogant." Chuuya is the only one who calls him an idiot that's for sure, everyone else sees him as a freaky genius.
With a false smile stretched across his face Dazai sighs dramatically, "Chibi is so mean you know, he totally ruins my self-confidence!"
Closing the folder Nedzu nods, "Well luckily for you I am here to help with that! As this is the first session, let's get to know each other shall we?" The mouse-bear then pulls out a chess board and Dazai has to fight back a grin, what an accurate analogy. This game between the two of them really will end up resembling a chess game in a matter of time, both making moves whilst trying to anticipate the next move of their opponent. It may be hard to win this little game but it will surely be interesting, having someone who can match Dazai's intellect might turn out to be more fun than expected.
Given that the white pieces are on his side Dazai takes the first move by moving a pawn to the centre of the board, Nedzu matches this with a pawn of his own. That isn't surprising, having control of the centre gives you an upper hand after all. As for the next move, Dazai decides to take a more direct attack by moving his bishop to c4.
Nedzu studies the board for a moment before moving his knight to c6. The opening caused by the bishop being moved allows Dazai to move his queen out straight to h5, in response Nedzu moves his own queen out to e7. Smart move, now Dazai is forced to change to defence by moving his knight to e2.
Nedzu moves his knight to b4, which is very close to Dazai's bishop. Of course, as long as he keeps the piece out of the knight's reach it should be fine, it's somewhat unnerving though. Still on the defence Dazai castles king side, being taken out this early would just be embarrassing.
Nedzu continues on the offensive by taking a pawn with his knight. Dazai then moves one of his pawns, which unfortunately leads to his rook being taken by Nedzu's knight. It's starting to look bad for Dazai but he's confident he can get out of this one way or another, hopefully, he'll be able to take Nedzu's knight in a few moves and return his focus on getting the king in check. Dazai moves his previously untouched bishop out of the way just for Nedzu to once again move his knight, just what is he planning? On Nedzu's next turn, he moves his queen to b4, which allows Dazai to take the knight that took his rook. He would prefer for Nedzu's queen not to be anywhere near his king but it isn't too bad right now, he'll focus on getting Nedzu's king in check for now.
They continue like that for the next few minutes the silence only broken by the soft clank of the wooden pieces being set down. To someone else they would argue playing a game of chess in silence isn't really getting to know each other, Dazai would disagree. In just one game he will be able to grasp Nedzu's planning skills along with how easily he can read other people and anticipate their moves, the same could be said about what Nedzu will learn about Dazai. In that case, perhaps he should throw the game? By making a mistake that should have been easily avoided Nedzu will lower his expectations of Dazai's intelligence.
The chance comes to put Nedzu in check, he'll be able to easily break free of it so Dazai doubts he could win here. In that case, he'll go for it. When Nedzu defends against the check Dazai might lose his queen, which would put him at a heavy disadvantage. That could work out for his plan though, after his queen is lost then he can make some mistakes that will lead Nedzu to the win.
With one of his pawns Dazai takes out the bishop protecting the king, this naturally leaves his queen open to be taken by Nedzu. However, instead of moving his remaining bishop to take the queen Nedzu just sighs and then faces Dazai with a grin, "It's been a long time since someone challenged me like this! I'm afraid I'll have to forfeit here."
Forfeit? There are still a few moves Nedzu could make that would get his king safe so the question is why doesn't he? Either he's not smart enough to notice the possible moves or he gave up on purpose… Much like Nedzu said, it's been a while since someone challenged him like this.
-
"Nice to see you again, Nakahara-kun!"
For a second Chuuya debates turning around and leaving because what the hell? Why out of every possible pro that could be his therapist did it have to be the guy with the worst hairstyle? Earlier he had introduced himself as Yamada but even then Chuuya was too busy staring at the spike of blond, it was just so distracting. Distracting in a bad way.
Knowing he can't just leave the room Chuuya instead sits in the chair opposite to Yamada, eyes still trained on that hair. Really, with the way he's acting, it's like Yamada is an active threat and not his therapist. "Yea, hi." Chuuya greets and finally drags his eyes away from the hair only to be confronted with the worst-looking moustache he's ever seen. What's with this guy and his terrible hair decisions?
"Since we've only just met let's get to know each other," Yamada smiles encouragingly, "How about we take turns asking each other a question?"
An ice-breaker like that shouldn't include any serious questions, so it should be fine to go along with it. Nodding Chuuya relaxes into his chair a little, "I'll go first, why does your hair look like that?"
Yamada laughs loudly at that, "I get that question a lot! I just think it looks cool." That phrase eerily reminds Chuuya of a certain bandaged idiot. Yamada continues, "For my question… You said you like arcade games, which one is your favourite?"
In truth Chuuya has two favourite types of games, racing and dancing games. Racing games are good because he actually really enjoys playing them, basically, he likes the content even if Dazai beats him sometimes. Dancing games are good because his idiotic partner has the grace of a fish when dancing, which means Chuuya always wins when they play. He explains as much to Yamada who grins in response, "You two seem like close friends."
Chuuya scoffs, "Absolutely not, I could never be friends with that guy." He scrunchies his nose up at the idea, ugh, if he and Dazai were real friends he would probably get even more annoying. Right now they're just partners, he'd like to keep it that way.
Yamada looks at him expectedly and Chuuya belatedly realises it's his turn to ask a question now. With the hair question already asked he feels like there are no more questions he wants to ask but the opportunity to gather information shouldn't be passed up on. He should figure out how much of a threat this guy is, "What's your Quirk?"
"Oh, it's called Voice! I can make my voice insanely loud, I can also control the pitch," Yamada explains with a gesture to the contraption on his neck, "This device helps me to direct it." Chuuya doesn't want his eardrums burst so hopefully he won't have to fight this guy, well he could fight at a distance but that isn't really his style. Of course, if the plan goes well there won't be a need to fight anyone.
Yamada continues speaking, "Your Ability is called Upon the Tainted Sorrow, right? That's a pretty cool name, how'd you come up with it?"
"Oh, I didn't," Chuuya speaks casually only to be met with Yamada's slightly confused face. Ah right, pro heroes don't know that much about Abilities, let alone how they behave in a fight. That information shouldn't be all that important to keep a secret, especially given the fact that he and Dazai are expected to 'give 1A experience.' They'll have to fight that class at some point so he'll just explain it to Yamada now, "When you use an Ability, words will appear that relate to your power, the name is in there. The amount of words that show up depends on how much you're using it."
An interested expression appears on Yamada's face, "Oh wow and that happens with every Ability?"
"Yep, oh wait it's my turn to ask a question isn't it?" Chuuya asks. Technically, Yamada asked two in a row but he won't call that out. To his credit the pro looks a little sheepish upon realising that, still, he nods and gestures for Chuuya to ask a question. Chuuya thinks for a moment before speaking, "You have a hero name right? What is it?"
"Present Mic!" Yamada announces with pride. Present Mic huh? Not the weirdest name he's ever heard but still a little odd, then again hero names as a whole tend to be odd. In the Port Mafia, people just go by their name, when code names are used it's only on missions where secrecy is necessary. While Chuuya thinks about the oddity of his name Yamada thinks of another question before speaking, "You said you have a bike earlier, how'd you get it?"
Before he can stop it memories spring to mind, memories now coloured in a bittersweet light. Thinking about The Flags hurts, even now a feeling of discomfort settles across his shoulders when he recalls them, recalls the end they came to. In the months after everything went down he had tried to keep busy, knowing that any moment spent dwelling on his friends might end with a bottle of wine. Besides, the Boss had been all too happy to give him extra missions. He isn't going to tell all that to some pro he just met though, not a chance in hell. Instead, Chuuya shrugs in a way that he hopes comes across as nonchalant, "A friend."
Yamada nods in understanding, for a moment it seems like he has picked up on Chuuya's melancholy but in the next, that feeling is gone. Instead, the man smiles and leans in, "So, I gotta ask, if you and Dazai-kun hate each other so much how'd you two meet?"
A smile tugs at Chuuya's face upon recalling that memory, what he wouldn't give to kick that bastard into a wall again. Shifting upwards in his chair Chuuya begins explaining, "Heh, well that bastard was snooping around for information. I kicked him right into a wall, it was great."
"Really? What happened after that?" Yamada encourages him to continue. Chuuya does exactly that, his mind focusing on recalling all the details from when he first met Dazai to accurately tell the story. It's important to get everything just right, that way Yamada will agree with him that Dazai is beyond irritating and understand why they can never be friends.
-
At the end of the therapy session, Aizawa appeared with Dazai in tow to take them both back to the dorms, which Chuuya is somewhat dreading. Well, not dreading but certainly not looking forward to it. Unlike when they first arrived the dorms will now be full of students, without the restriction of being in class anything could go down. If the students feel that their, or more accurately Dazai's, actions offended them then an argument, maybe even a fight could break out. If that does happen then Chuuya will obviously fight back, even if that lands him getting kicked from UA. Dazai must have been thinking the same as when they arrived at the dorms he sent Chuuya a calculating gaze before nodding.
Aizawa pauses before walking through the doors and shoots them both a look, "Remember the rules and behave, alright?"
Dazai nods his head as Chuuya answers, "Yea yea." A moment later Aizawa deems this response satisfactory and enters the building with both boys following close behind. As soon as Chuuya and Dazai enter the main room things go quiet, once again the air turns stale with tension.
Glancing around the room Aizawa takes note of which students are present, "Iida-kun."
Said student stands at attention, "Yes, Sensei?"
Aizawa gestures back at Chuuya and Dazai, "If these two do anything, and I mean anything, alert me immediately." That implies he's going to leave them in the main room with the students. Less supervision is nice but also increases the chance of a fight breaking out.
The kid, Iida, seems apprehensive but agrees nonetheless, "Of course."
With one last warning glance at him and Dazai, Aizawa begins walking to his room and soon disappears from view.
The minutes after that are tense and full of nervous glances, with their teacher gone 1A doesn't seem to want to move. From his left Chuuya feels Dazai nudge him, the bastard wants him to make the first move doesn't he? 1A will probably feel threatened if he does move first, but that isn't really a concern of his.
Near the main sitting area is a single armchair that looks pretty comfy, with that goal in mind Chuuya walks forward and dutifully ignores the flinches back from the students. He can hear Dazai following along behind him, very much a silent shadow. They pass a coffee table where most of the students find themselves seated, some unfortunate soul must have left their gaming device on the table. Chuuya says 'unfortunate soul' because he already knew that Dazai would scoop the device up upon passing it, if the kid ever gets it back then it'll be a miracle.
Chuuya finally arrives at the armchair and sits down, for a second he actually believed that Dazai would sit elsewhere. That was wishful thinking however as the idiot promptly lays himself across Chuuya's lap, the game console already loading up. Chuuya gives him a half-hearted shove, "You couldn't sit anywhere else?"
Dazai doesn't even spare him a glance, "No~~"
Chuuya doesn't get the chance to respond as someone suddenly yells, "What the hell!!" Looking over at the guy it seems to be the same loudmouth that was yelling this morning, great, that guy is going to become a problem Chuuya can already tell. With Dazai laid over him there isn't much Chuuya can do but keep steady eye contact with the guy, something that causes him to yell once again.
"What are you looking at carrot-top?!"
Chuuya feels anger build under his skin which is only amplified when Dazai snickers at the insult. "Fuck did you just call me?"
The blondie takes a step forward and for a moment Chuuya debates shoving Dazai off his lap to meet the guy standing up. Before he can do that, however, some other kid grabs hold of the blondies arm, "Woah, Bakugou calm down! You can't fight in here."
The kid, Bakugou, shoves his hand off, "I'm not sitting here while two murderers try and act all normal," He waves a hand around angrily, "Having them here is a fuckin' joke."
Chuuya rolls his eyes, he wants to be here as much as Bakugou wants him here it seems, if he had a choice then he wouldn't have come anywhere near UA but due to shitty Dazai here he is. It looks like the redhead wants to say something but is interrupted when someone else stands, "Bakugou is right."
"Todoroki?" Someone else responds slightly confused.
"These two don't have any remorse for what they did, it doesn't make sense to have them here," Todoroki says while staring at Chuuya. If he wants an apology then he isn't getting one, not a sincere one anyway.
The class break out into whispers while Chuuya finds himself in yet another staring contest, seriously, what is with these kids and staring at him?
A few minutes go by like this until a certain comment grabs his attention. Initially, he was willing to ignore whatever words they threw at him, a bunch of teenagers could never even begin to rival the worst things that have happened to him. Even if they happen to stumble across one of his insecurities he shouldn't be that affected by a bunch of kids he doesn't even know. That much remains true but the combination of two kids glaring him down and all the others whispering very clear insults is really grating on his nerves. Taking the opportunity, Chuuya shoves Dazai from his lap and ignores the offended yelp when he hits the floor.
Standing up Chuuya looks back at Bakugou, "Look, I don't want to be here either but I didn't really get a choice," Chuuya takes a step forward, "You ignore us, we'll ignore you. That sound good?"
Bakugou growls in a way that says 'not good' but doesn't get a chance to respond. Iida, who was clearly watching Chuuya's approach carefully, tried to grab onto his arm. Naturally, Chuuya pulls his arm away from his grip and sends him a glare, "Back off, I'm not going to do anything. Unlike a certain someone, I'm not suicidal."
Iida looks somewhat confused by that comment but still remains a barrier between Chuuya and the rest of the class. Maybe this was a coordinated attack as another student appears on Chuuya's other side, "Why did you do it?"
Chuuya glances at him, the kid has wild purple hair with eyes to match. Speaking of eyes, Chuuya recognises that pair from his morning staring contest, makes sense for the guy to be confronting him then. Chuuya opens his mouth to respond but is cut off by Dazai, "Don't answer that, Chibi~"
Immediately, Chuuya's mouth snaps closed. He isn't a fan of listening to Dazai very often, especially in situations that aren't a fight but something about this is different. Dazai could have just carried on playing his game, could have left Chuuya to fend off the whole class but he didn't, instead, he warned Chuuya not to respond to one specific comment. Could it be this kid has some sort of voice-activated Quirk?
A few months back the UA sports festival had been on, Dazai had insisted they watch together to make fun of all the hero wannabes. Admittedly, it was fun to joke about the students and make bets on who would win, even if Chuuya ended up losing some money in the end. This kid must have been in the sports festival then, Chuuya remembers all the exciting matches so he must have had a tamer one. For a second he digs through his memories of watching the sports festival and soon comes upon an answer, the first match of the 1 vs 1 had gone by quickly. One of the kids had tried to brainwash the other, it hadn't worked in the end but Chuuya can remember Dazai made a few comments about it back then.
Confident in his answer Chuuya turns his attention to Dazai in an attempt to make it clear who he is responding to, "Brainwashing kid, right?"
Dazai hums as the game console plays a little song. "Yep," he sets the console down and finally gets up off the floor, "Wouldn't want you to lose control of yourself, Chuuya~~"
The kids around them look taken aback, a few of them even look a little scared. Dazai sees this and sighs, "You act like we stalked him to get that information." The class remain silent in a way that makes it feel like they don't believe Dazai, which is funny in a way. Have they completely forgotten about the sports festival?
Now standing next to Chuuya, Dazai rolls his eyes, "Sports festival, remember? All your Quirks were broadcasted internationally, I just made note of the interesting ones."
Bakugou somehow gets more outraged by this very common and obvious fact, "Bastard."
Very used to being called that Dazai just waves him off, "That's me~" Dazai then turns to Chuuya and begins pulling him away without a second glance at 1A, "Let's go see what snacks they have~"
They are almost to the kitchen when Chuuya stops in his tracks, Dazai shoots him a curious look as he turns around to face the class once more. Everyone looks back at him like they expect him to make some last comment, what he's really after is actually far more stupid.
"We can't go in there without two students, so uh, could a couple of you come with?" He asks in a serious tone. Everyone seems shocked by his words, especially Dazai who starts spouting some nonsense about dramatic exits. In Chuuya's defence, he isn't going to get punished for breaking the rules to see if the kitchen has crab or not, which is absolutely the reason Dazai wanted to go in there
