Chapter Text
"Ugh, where is this shitty Dazai" Chuuya Nakahara thinks out loud. He stands in the basement of a small gang that thought they could mess with the Port Mafia and is surrounded by dead bodies. Shoving away the people he killed with his feet to make a clear way to the Exit. On top of the stairwell stands Osamu Dazai. He chuckles a bit when he hears Chuuya yell out for him. Only a minute later the short boy stands at the bottom of the stairs covered in blood. "Ahhh, Chuuya, what took you so long with all these low life gangsters? Usually you are always done before I am." says the taller boy with a fake smile in a really sweet and childlike voice. Angry Chuuya yells up to Dazai: "Of course it took me longer!!! You only had to deal with the boss that couldn't even fight and I had to take on all his henchman and on top of that I couldn't even fight like normally because the basement is so small and I couldn't get any momentum like usually!" Dazai grins just to taunt Cuuya. "Oh come on it wasn't that bad Chuuya" "Ugh there is no use in arguing with an idiot like you."
They are on their way out when they see something move outside. Immediately Dazai takes out his gun from under his coat and Chuuya takes on a fighting stance. Dazai goes first to the door and opens it slightly just enough to look out of it. With a relief he sights and tells Chuuya to come to him because there is no threat. He opens the door completely so you can see outside. There stands a little girl. She looks barely 7 Years old and has matted hair and bruises all over her skin where ever you look at. She only wears an way to an old and oversized shirt that looks like a dress on her and a pair of old shoes that look like they are 5 sizes too small and over a decade old. With big eyes, she looks up at Dazai. "Are you part of the People that work here?" She asks innocently with a bit of a sad expression on her face. Now a bit curious Dazai kneels down in front of her to hide Chuuya behind him and asks her:" What do you want from these people? They are some really bad guys you shouldn't get involved with them." With a hand gesture behind his back, he tells Chuuya to stay back and not show himself to the girl. A bit nervous and shy the girl says:" My Friend told me that, but he also told me if you give them enough money they will kill anyone you ask them to." Even more interested Dazai asks the girl:" Do you even know what it means to kill someone?" The girl gets quiet and answers only after a moment: " My mommy always watches movies where people get killed and when I asked what happens when someone gets killed she told me they are dead and gone forever, and my daddy always says he will kill me if I don't behave. I even have money to pay the people here to kill them" The girl holds a small bag filled with coins and a few banknotes. A bit shocked Chuuya listens to Dazai and the girl talking. He knows he isn't supposed to come out and show himself so he takes out his phone to text Dazai.
TO SUICIDAL MANIAC:
Hey
We have to help her!
Something is very obviously wrong with her and her parents just look at her
Dazai sees the messages from Nakahara but ignores them for the moment to get more out of the girl.
"Can you tell me your name, little girl?" Dazai says with the softest words Chuuya ever heard coming out of his mouth. "It's Melanie" "Oh? Are your parents foreigners? That's not a very usual name here." "I don't know" "Okay no worries Melanie. Do you maybe want our help the people here are already all dead." Again a bit unsure she asks "What do you mean with our? You are alone here with me." Dazai smiles again:" Me and my partner of course! Come out Chuuya!" Dazai turns around to look if Chuuya comes out. When he sees him he turns around to the little girl again. The girl is a bit shocked because of the blood but recovers really quickly again. "Will you really help me?" Dazai nods his head. "Now where do you live?" The little girl says:" I can show you the way" "Wait before we can help you we have to get to our home first so we can change our clothes" The girl was about to run off but she stops and turns around again. She looks a bit sad but she just says "Oh". "No worries we will still help. Do you want to come with us?" The girl excitingly nods.
Only a few minutes later they are at Chuuyas apartment. Chuuya goes and takes a shower and changes while Dazai sits in his living room with the girl. "Can you wait here for a moment I am right back" The girl nods and Dazai disappears into Chuuyas room. There he starts going through his closet to look for one of Elises dresses he stole from Mori just to piss him off. He hid them in Chuuyas apartment because Mori has access to his shipping container and even cameras in there so he can't hide them there. He finds one of the smaller and more comfy ones to get for the girl and starts dialing Kouyous's number on his phone. While the phone rings Dazai gets back to the little girl. Kouyou answers her phone "Why do I have the honor to talk to you demon prodigy?" Dazai rolls his eyes "Stop doing that Kouyou, I need your help. Better said we need your Help. Please come over to Chuuyas apartment but don't tell anyone that you are coming here." "OH SHIT DID SOMETHING HAPPEN TO CUUYA?" "No of course not I would never let that happen and not inform Mori first. Nut this has to be kept secret for a while." "Okay I will come over"
Moments later Chuuya comes out of the shower covered with only a towel. "Should we also bathe her? She looks like she is in a really bad condition." Dazai answers"No need I called your dear Ane-san to come here and help with that and look I even found a dress that could fit her from the ones stole from Mori."
Chuuya goes to put on some clothes and meanwhile Dazai asks the Girl a few more questions. He finds out that she is almost 9 Years old and lives in a nice upper middle class home with her parents, but her life isn't so nice. Her parents hate her and don't take care of her and abuse her. If she does something wrong or so her Father hits her and her mum started ignoring her a while back and says she is the root of all problems. Dazai feels a bit of sympathy for the girl. She reminds him of himself when he was her age. She looks really malnourished and is probably so short because she doesn't get enough food. Before Kouyou comes Dazai wants to treat Melanies wounds and feed her.
About half an hour later Kouyou arrives. Chuuya is giving Melanie some light food while he cooks and Dazai is on a call with Mori telling him about what happened at the mission earlier just letting out the part with the girl. When Kouyou knocks at the door Dazai opens the door and leads her to the kitchen. The shock was very visible on her face when she saw the little girl being fed by Chuuya. "WHAT THE FUCK OSAMU !!!" Dazai laughs a bit and then he says " Let me introduce you to Melanie, she is Chuuyas and my new daughter." Chuuya drops the spoon he was holding and stares at Dazai. Kouyou even more shocked looks at them both and even Melanie looks a bit shocked at them. Chuuya asks "Since when did I agree to that." "Awh but Chuuya you are my boyfriend and I decided to make her my daughter so she is also yours now." Chuuya just sighs and continues cooking. Kouyou gets shocked for a second and third time right again. "Okay first things first, science when are you dating and then second again what the fuck Osamu you just kidnap random children and decide they are your kid? You two are 16 Years old and way too young for a Child." "Nooooo we didn't kidnap her, we saved her. Just look at the state she is in. We can't let her go back to her parents like that, they are abusive." A bit shocked again by the fact that Dazai felt sympathy for someone other than Chuuya, she asks: " And why am I here?" Dazai answers " Because you are the only other person that I would trust with taking care of a kid. And I was hoping you could teach me and Chuuya."
