lying."

Chuuya glared at him, deadset in his theory.

"'Cause Dazai doesn't have any friends other than me!"

[.ᐟ 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀, 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀 .ᐟ @lancedbysun]

It was a heartbreaking tale, not that Chuuya could have the stomach to admit it. But it wasn't Dazai.

Because Dazai didn't want to change. He didn't want to get a real job and live and adapt. Dazai didn't really want anything but death.

"I grew up, slug. Watched a friend die, left the mafia, got a real job. It's... Very different. And a lot to adapt to. But, I'm trying to change. Maybe I should take it as a compliment that you can't recognize me..."

It was melancholy for a fleeting second, brows pinching

Chuuya shook his head, a wobbly grin on his face as he yanked at the handcuffs as hard as he could.

[.ᐟ 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀, 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀 .ᐟ @lancedbysun]

Handcuffs? Chuuya nearly laughed. Not just from amusement, though that was certainly there, but from shock, too. He didn't even see it coming. No officers ever got the jump on him enough to get him in cuffs.

"Ya think these will hold me? Thought government freaks

The mafia...
Jouno scoffed, moving back into the front seat to give himself time to consider. He could show up this kid in just one or two sentences, boost his own ego a bit while letting the other writhe in discomfort.
But, what worth was there in admitting to being a former

[.ᐟ 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀, 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀 .ᐟ @lancedbysun]

in his mind. He rarely met other ability users, and the ones he did, were always Mafia.

"...Hah. Even with a Gift, you're not tougher than the mafia."

[.ᐟ 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀, 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀 .ᐟ @lancedbysun]

Tending up, alarm bells suddenly started ringing in his head. Chuuya covered the car in his ability so he could turn in his seat without crashing, staring wide-eyed at Jouno.

"You're a Gifted?"

Chuuya was torn between admiration and caution, hundreds of questions whirling

[✧ For Dust, You Are @ANDTODUST]

"You're so confident I would die... It's amusing, when I'm likely your worst enemy..."

He chuckles, disappearing in a burst of particles, before reappearing in the backseat.

"You're right. I am here to arrest you. However, I want to see you keep going, this is amusing."

[.ᐟ 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀, 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀 .ᐟ @lancedbysun]

how far away the cops were, Chuuya realized the futility of it all.

"...You're just here to arrest me. It doesn't matter if I can get away from them, huh."

[.ᐟ 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀, 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀 .ᐟ @lancedbysun]

"It's convenient."

Chuuya tried to bite Jouno's finger like a dog, and scowled when he just caught the air. Disappointing.

"I wouldn't die. You would, though. I'm not sure I could control both of our gravity at the same time."

Looking in the mirror, trying to see

[✧ For Dust, You Are @ANDTODUST]

"It's only 'legal' because no one cares to enforce the law. Which truly is a shame.."

He sighs, reaching over to flick the tip of Chuuya's nose.

"Quit looking over at me. Whatever you're doing isn't going to make a difference, just keep your eyes on the road so you don't

[.ᐟ 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀, 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀 .ᐟ @lancedbysun]

"And I'm not a kid, I'm fifteen! Which is almost sixteen, which is almost an adult in some places!"

[.ᐟ 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀, 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀 .ᐟ @lancedbysun]

"It's not a crime. We're technically in Suribachi jurisdiction. Everything's legal in Suribachi."

It wasn't, not really.Chuuya wasn't too hung up on the details though, too busy swerving through traffic. Any time he looked away from the road to glare at Jouno, he nearly crashed.

[✧ For Dust, You Are @ANDTODUST]

Jouno didn't seem at all disturbed by the near crash of the car, giving Chuuya an unperturbed smile.

"Hunting Dog, yes. And all crime concerns us, including a kid driving recklessly while trying to escape from the cops."

[.ᐟ 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀, 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀 .ᐟ @lancedbysun]

"Shit!"

Eloquent as ever, the shock made Chuuya let out a string of curses and nearly crash the car. He swerved to avoid an incoming car.

"You're-- dammit, you're one of those military guys! How did you get in here? This doesn't concern you guys."

[✧ For Dust, You Are @ANDTODUST]

[ @lancedbysun ]

Materializing in the passenger seat of a stolen car, Jouno was truly the picture of calm. One leg crossed over another, head rested on a hand propped up on the window. He even clicked in his seatbelt, how safe of him.

"A car chase, huh?"

[.ᐟ 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀, 𝑴𝑨𝒀𝑫𝑨𝒀 .ᐟ @lancedbysun]

You're a much better instructor than the other one. She just told me to accelerate and hope.

Reverse, neutral, accelerate, park.... okay. I got this. Easy-peasy car chase.

[✧ For Dust, You Are @ANDTODUST]

Then have fun and don't crash. Stop the car by shifting the gear—that stick in the center—to Park. R is reverse, that's how you go backwards, but the steering also gets reversed, so if you turn the wheel left the car will go right. D is drive, that's how you go. Neutral is like a

Not much. No cops in Suribachi!!

Oh thank god, okay, 'cause controlling this thing with gravity is hard and I do NOT want to hit pedestrians

[✧ For Dust, You Are @ANDTODUST]

Gas on the left, break on the right. The car will go forward on its own, gas is just acceleration. Turn the wheel to turn the car, it'll feel heavy and sluggish. Reset the wheel to return to straight, keep the wheel turned to keep turning.

How much do you care about traffic law
