LAST WORDS OF THE WEAK
➪ pairing : ryūnosuke akutagawa x reader
➪ sypnosis : you beg him not to risk his life, but he already has his mind set
➪ other notes : have some angst after the new traumatic episode, probably gonna post more aku later :3
“please don’t do this,” you begged akutagawa, hanging onto him as if it were the last time you’d see him. “you know why i have to do this,” he said, trying to pry you off. “you’re willing to sacrifice your life to prove yourself to a selfish man,” you cried out, not letting go. “don’t you dare call him that,” akutagawa angrily said, dazai was much more than that.
the mafia taught you to always be prepared for death and sacrifice. you never took that seriously until this specific moment. “what if you come across kamui, huh ?! what if you come across one of those hunting dogs, you won’t be able to escape,” you raised your voice, an effort to make your lover stay with you. he knew you were right, you always were.
he froze in your arms, he could feel your tears in the back of his button up shirt. there was no point of wearing his coat when he could be himself with you. he knew the ratios of him dying were high, but if it meant making dazai accept him, he’d be willing to take his chances. “i don’t have much time left, you and i both know that, i need to take advantage of it,”
his lung problem would limit him to a few more years max, a fear you always held. but was it so selfish to hang onto someone you love just for a little longer rather than have them risk their life ? “you’re going to die, and the only remaining thing i’ll have of you will be a tombstone,” you said burying your face into his back as your arms tightened around him.
akutagawa always knew you were weak mentally, having human emotions in the mafia is dangerous yet here you were. though he can’t blame you, especially when he’s the same as you. harboring a love for you that he could never feel for anyone else but you. too bad that the next time you see him, he’ll have a venomous look with sharp fangs.
