And when they're back in Tokyo 'Chuuya starts

trying

to act normal, and that makes it

worse

, because Dazai can

tell

that he's still hurting.

"Hey," the redhead turns to look at him when they get back to the room, reaching over to squeeze his hand. "You hungry?"

Dazai stares down at it, and his stomach is churning.

Please,

don't forgive me.

I

really

don't deserve you forgiving me

.

He swallows hard, shaking his head. "I have a discussion board post I have to do for cellular biology," he mutters, "I should probably get that done."

Chuuya's smile fades just a little, but it never reached his eyes to begin with. ' "Okay," he nods, shoving his hands in his pockets. "I'll call Yuan. Want me to bring something back?"

Dazai shakes his head, because the only thing he wants is for Chuuya to be

mad

at him, because the way he's handling this 'it's making Dazai feel

worse
