A wish.

Atsushi Nakajima

oh how tired he was. He didn't felt himself, he felt so different and distant...even if he kept a smile, a fake one that no one seemed to notice, maybe Dazai and Ranpo did, but they werent there. He was sitting in his own desk, the office was empty and atsushi was playing around with his fingers, what a baby. what can he do anyways? hes feeling so overwhelmed..he dosent even notice someone was talking to him, He turns his head qucikly towards the voice, Oh. Kenji.

"Atsushi-kun, i brought you some snacks!"

kenji says with a warm smile that almost made atsushi feel better.

"Ah, Thank you Kenji-kun!" atsushi says playing on a fake happy smile, as he eats some chips, kenji sits in the chair next to him 

"Can i ask you something? Atsushi-kun?"

"Oh sure! what is it?"

he will regret that.

"why are you so troubled?" 

That caught Atsushi off guard.

"huh-?"

"Dont play dumb, Atshusi-kun. Thats completely fine"

kenji says smiling warmly and reassuringly at Atsushi, even if kenji was the greatest Detective in solving cases, he was great at solving peoples troubles and Atsushi knew he couldnt escape him.

"im sorry...i just...feel so overwhelmed, i cant understand how can people...Love me."

kenji chuckles, what a cute chuckle.

"Ah, Atsushi-kun how misunderstood you are.." kenji says smiling reassuringly 

"Huh? what do you mean?.."

kenji looks back at Atsushi and puts a hand on his shoulder

"It hurts, right? Feeling like no one really understands you, that you dont understand yourself either. The bad memories..the bad words..all hurts, dosent it?"

Atsushi looks away, he nods slowly. How could Kenji be so good at this?

"i dont get it... why am i like this?.." atsushi mumbles.

"Because thats who you are, A shy yet open and kind boy who just wants to feel loved. The past is like a huge cloud on top of your head, right? Well... how can we not see a cloud or stop it from being on our heads?" kenji says with a smile

"uhm..i dont know?."

"You go under something, something that makes you feel warm and at peace." 

Atsushi didn't understood, what did he mean?

"What i mean to say...is that if a Cloud chases you, horrible memories chase you...you can get away from them. Because the Agency is like a warm umbrella, a Building, anything you wanna call it, that will help you trought these things. Bad clouds, Bad toughts..can be sent away easily by looking forward and staying strong but most of all...to spend your time with those you care about and that makes you happy. A storm may be tormenting you..but as long as you look forward, and smile opening up..it will slowly go away. Pain is temporaly."

Atsushi didn't understood still, but something he did understand was that, he wasnt alone. Not anymore.

"Kenji, i..."

"No, cry."

"huh?.."

"the cloud has given you a lamp that hitted you and it hurts you. The best way is-" kenji cuts himself off as he notices how Atsushi was already in tears. 

Kenji smiled softly as he held Atsushi hands and layed his forehead on Atsushi one as he spoke in a soothing way.

"Thats alright...no one can hurt you again, Im here for you Atsushi, Everyone is..let yourself be free and set your soul free." he said. He said and gave hope to Atsushi. Atsushi cried for about 10-15 minutes, when he calmed down he hugged Kenji immediately and of course kenji returned the favor

"dont let your toughts get the best of you..."

those were Kenji last words to Atsushi, that made him understand. How greatful he was for having such a friend. He smiled warmly, and found peace with himself.

 

 

Dazai Osamu.

Well, nothing new to him. He sat on the rooftop edge enjoying the view, his mind was a mess and it didn't help him. He closes his eyes and thinks.

"Morning, Dazai-kun" yes, it was Kenji, Who wouldnt recognize that happy and kind soul?

"Good morning, Kenji." dazai knew Kenji was coming, and he knew he was gonna try and help him. But he didnt expect the aproach he was gonna have.

"i know, that nothing will fill the hole inside of you. But i want to try, useless or not." thats what the blonde boy said. "nothing will fill the hole inside of you" what Odasaku said that day, when he passed away.

"im amazed you can understand such concept."

"its not too hard, you know?"

"heh, hows that? i havent seen anyone actually understand me, im a lost soul after all." Dazai chuckled

"indeed you are, but i can give you some tips to find the right Path again."

dazai chuckled again, how would he? Haha!

"Oh? Then go on Kenji-kun, im curious to see."

kenji stays quiet, he stares at dazai with a warm and kind smile, something of Kenji was off to dazai. Those golden eyes, those sparkling eyes...Ah, he got it."

"Oh...i see." dazai says with a geniuine faint smile, its hard to tell what kenji did, but dazai knows it helped him. That look of kenji was enough to dazai to understand, and it made him feel better.

"i never tought a stare could tell me such thing, fufu...im surpirsied by how you unders
