Sayuri walked into the safe house and saw Zoe resting her head on Sakunosuke's shoulder.

"She started crying again. I tried my best to calm her down," Odasaku spoke quietly when he saw his sister.

"I can only imagine how hard it must be. She doesn't deserve to go through this," Sayuri replied sadly. "I'm gonna get changed. You wanna take her to her bed or should I?"

"I'll do it. You should shower and go to bed," Odasaku answered, moving to scoop Zoe into his arms.

"Alright." Sayuri walked to her bedroom to grab her pajamas before going into the bathroom.

She stripped from her clothes that had some blood splatters on them now. She took her auburn hair out of its braid and let it fall over her shoulders. She turned the shower on to let the water warm up before carefully brushing her hair out to make sure there were no tangles.

She stepped into the shower and sighed as the warm water began spilling over her tired form.

She ran her fingers through her hair as the water soaked through it. She kept thinking about how only a few days ago she was having the time of her life with Dazai, and now she was worrying if she would see him again. She knew that he would be fine, but she still couldn't help but worry.

Another thought that kept going through her head is if something like that would ever happen again, and would it be with Dazai or someone else?

The image of Piano Man talking about Zoe flashed in her mind. She wondered if someone would have that same look in their eyes when talking about her.

After washing herself off, she stepped out of the shower, pulling her towel from the bar it was draped over.

She dried off her body before slipping on her silk pajamas. She dried her hair before brushing her teeth and washing her face.

She left the bathroom and went into the room she was staying in before crashing onto the bed. She wasn't used to feeling so exhausted after completing such a simple assignment, but with everything on her mind, she just wanted to sleep.

She curled up in the fluffy blankets and closed her eyes, passing out moments after her head hit the pillow.

Sayuri walked up to the apartment where Zoe used to live with Piano Man, looking at the brunette who seemed unusually quiet. Sakunosuke stood behind them quietly.

Zoe stood outside the door of the apartment and froze. She remembered the day she first stayed over night. Tears filled her eyes for the millionth time and Sayuri quickly wrapped her arms around the crying woman.

"I can't do this... I can't..." Zoe whimpered as her knees buckled.

Sayuri and Sakunosuke both hugged her tight as sobs racked her body.

"I'm never gonna see him again! And I'll never get to tell him how much I love him ever again! I need him to come back to me! I can't live without him!"

Sayuri was about to speak up when Sakunosuke gently grasped Zoe's shoulders, making her look at him.

"That's a lie. You are so much stronger than that. Besides, he would be devastated if you gave up your life because of him," Odasaku spoke calmly. Zoe tried to quiet her sobs but her breathing was still uneven. "I know it's hard to lose someone you love. I lost my parents when I was seven and all I had left was Sayuri. If I had given up when they died, they would've been so disappointed. You've gotta be strong, no matter how impossible it may seem. I know you can do it."

Zoe nodded slowly, wiping her cheeks. "I just don't know if I can stay here... I mean... I can't sleep in our bed without him..."

"If you wanna stay with us for a while, it won't be a problem. I've got an extra futon," Sayuri offered.

"I wouldn't want to intrude," Zoe said quietly.

"Oh, please. It's not an issue at all. It'll be like a really long sleepover!"

"I guess, I could stay with you for a few weeks if that's okay," Zoe replied.

"Then it's settled! Let's grab you some extra stuff and we'll take you to our place," Sayuri said as she jumped to her feet.

Zoe nodded and stood up slowly as she wiped her eyes again. She hugged herself as they went into the apartment.

She couldn't bring herself to look around, knowing that she would start throwing another crying tantrum.

She felt a hand gently rub her back as they walked and she glanced at Odasaku who was trying to comfort her as best he could.

The Oda siblings helped Zoe pack a few things that she needed for at least a month at their place.

After taking the girl to the place she would be staying for a while, they unpacked in Sayuri's room.

"I really appreciate you both letting me stay here with you," Zoe spoke with a smile before there was the sound of arguing coming from the living room. "What's that?"

Sayuri grimaced as she grabbed a pillow off her bed. "It's two boys who don't know how to get along for the life of them."

She walked out to see Dazai and Chuuya arguing about who beat who in getting into the apartment.

While both parties were distracted, Sayuri swatted them both in the head with the pillow.

"Can you two behave for just five minutes?" Sayuri scolded as she gave the boys a stern glare.

"Sorry, Sayu," they both muttered as their heads drooped.

Zoe held a hand over her mouth as she giggled a little. "You really have a handle on them, don't you?"

"She's scary when she's mad," Chuuya replied as he crossed his arms. "You learn to keep her happy."

"I wouldn't get mad if the two of you could just work together without going at each other's throat," Sayuri shot back as she crossed her arms. "It can't be that hard to get along?"

"Getting along with this little twerp?!" Dazai grumbled, glaring at Chuuya.

"This mackerel is insufferable!" Chuuya scoffed as he returned Dazai's glare.

"I'd handcuff you both together, but I know I know Osa would just get out of it in a heartbeat," Sayuri spoke with a sigh.

"Damn right, I would."

"Alright, now what do you guys want? Why are you here arguing?" Sayuri questioned, moving to sit on the couch.

"Well, I was coming to see if you were home yet," Chuuya answered, plopping down on the recliner. "Don't know why he's here though."

"I just came to raid the fridge and watch a movie. I already knew she was home," Dazai replied, going into the kitchen to complete his mission.

"You texted him, but not me? The favoritism is unreal," Chuuya teased.

"I didn't tell him anything. I'm pretty sure he put a tracker in me," Sayuri replied as she gave a light laugh. "We can definitely watch a movie though. You wanna join us?" She looked over at Zoe and Saku with a smile.

"I'm alright. I think I'm gonna go take a walk and get some fresh air," Odasaku replied, walking towards the door.

"I'm down for a movie," Zoe spoke, sitting on the opposite side of the couch from Sayuri.

Dazai slinked over with a frown. "There's nothing good."

"You poor baby," Sayuri mocked with a forced pout.

She moved, letting Dazai sit down behind her. She leaned against him while pulling the blanket off the back of the sofa.

"What are we feeling?" Chuuya asked, grabbing the remote from the coffee table. "I'm thinking action movie."

"I agree," Zoe spoke up.

"I don't really care," Dazai replied with a shrug.

"I'll watch anything you guys want," Sayuri agreed. "I'll be back I'm gonna grab some extra blankets for you guys.

"Thanks Sayu. What about Monster?" Zoe recommended.

"Works for me." Chuuya found the movie and put it on.

Sayuri ran to her room to grab a blanket for Zoe and one for Chuuya before coming back as the movie started. She sat back down between Dazai's legs, leaning back against his chest.

Dazai let Sayuri get comfortable before he rested his arms around her.

Zoe looked at the two before glancing at Chuuya. He just gave her a shrug, silently telling her that it was normal. Zoe nodded slowly, turning her attention back to the movie.

As the movie continued playing, Dazai looked down at the girl in his lap. A small grin pulled at his lips as a mischievous idea formed in his mind.

He returned his gaze to the movie as he moved one of his hands onto her thigh. He stayed like that for a few minutes before slowly sliding his hand a bit further up her thigh.

Sayuri's eyebrow twitched slightly as she felt Dazai continue to inch his hand up her thigh. She pretended not to notice, but she could feel the tingling sensation travel along with his touch.

Dazai slipped his hand up her shirt before it slid down into her leggings. He rested his hand over her underwear, keeping his eyes trained on the movie.

Sayuri, however, kept glancing at Chuuya and Zoe, wondering if they somehow knew Dazai's movements.

Even without his hand moving, Sayuri felt the heat from his touch and it excited her. She bit the inside of her lip, leaning her head back into his chest with a bit of force.

Dazai knew that he was getting her wet by just letting her mind do the work for him. He could see her imagining his touch, his fingers penetrating her in secret while their friends obliviously sat beside them.

He nuzzled his nose behind her eat before whispering, "I don't even have to touch you and your panties are already wet."

Sayuri sucked air into her lungs sharply as his hot breath hit her skin. She shifted herself slightly, wanting to feel some friction.

Dazai pressed his lips to the skin behind her ear as he rubbed circles on the cloth that separated their skin from touching. He could feel her underwear getting damp as he pressed his thumb to her clit, rubbing in gentle yet firm circles.

He kept this up while Chuuya and Zoe sat there cluelessly. He honestly didn't care if they found out or not. Now he really just wanted to touch Sayuri.

Sayu moved her legs so that her knees were in the air, the blanket covering her view of Zoe on the other side of the couch. With her knees up and her legs apart, she gave Dazai more room to work with.

Dazai slipped his hands into her underwear and carefully slid two fingers over her entrance. He watched Sayuri clutch the blanket close to her mouth as a tiny whimper left her lips.

She felt his finger penetrate her which made her bite her lip harshly to stop a moan from slipping out.

Dazai hummed, his lips still close to the skin behind her ear. "You're already so wet for me, angel. Do you really want me that bad?"

"Shut up," she mumbled into the blanket.

Of course she wanted him. Just the thought of him touching her was enough to get her excited, and now that he had a finger inside of her, she was thoroughly aroused.

How did they even come to this? They had laid together while watching a movie before and this had never happened. She had thought that their night last week was just a one time thing, but now he was making her desperate again.

"Yo, I think Zoe's asleep," Chuuya spoke up, drawing their attention.

Sayuri peered over her knees to see Zoe's head laid on the arm of the couch, her eyes rested shut. She went to say something before Dazai began moving his finger which made her falter, nearly moaning out loud.

"We'll just leave her be. Don't wanna wake her," Dazai said easily.

"Hey, Sayu. Got any popcorn?" Chuuya asked curiously.

She nodded quickly as she composed herself a bit. "Yeah! In the cupboard."

Chuuya pushed himself up out of the chair to go make some popcorn as the movie continued.

Dazai pushed a second finger into Sayuri which made her whine quietly. He moved his fingers quickly, curling them inside of her which made her moan into the blanket which muffled the noise.

"You better be quiet, angel. You don't want Chuuya to hear, and you don't wanna wake Zoe," Dazai murmured in her ear as he quickened his pace.

Sayuri panted as she tried desperately to hold back her moans. She had a death grip on the blanket that was covering her mouth as she felt a knot forming in her stomach. "Osa, please, I'm gonna cum..."

He grinned at her quiet whines, curling his fingers more as he continued to frust them into her. He felt her walls contract around his fingers as she came to her release.

She bit down on the blanket to quiet her moan as she reached her climax. She breathed heavily as she closed her eyes. "That was so rude."

"It was sexy as hell," Dazai shot back in a whisper.

"God, you are so gonna get it later," Sayu grumbled.

"I look forward to it~"
