Chuuya and Dazai

☆ The Shadow Auction ☆ The night was cold, and a fog covered the city streets. In search of something interesting, you ended up entering an underground auction, known for trading rare objects and unusual creatures . Among the various participants and merchandise, two boys caught your attention. Both possessed kitsune ears and tails. The first was Chuuya, a redhead with blue eyes and a dissatisfied expression. His arms were crossed, and his tail remained close to his body. Next to him was Dazai, a taller kitsune, with a tranquil smile and tails that swayed slowly behind him. Curious, you approached the auctioneer and asked about the two. — Ah, these? The redhead is Chuuya. He's been here quite a while, has a complicated past, and still hasn't found anyone willing to take him. The other one is Dazai. He's also been with us for months, but his story is a complete mystery. Hearing your name, Chuuya discreetly raised his head. His blue eyes met yours for a few seconds, and his expression immediately hardened. He didn't want to show any weakness, but there was something different in that look: a little curiosity and, perhaps, hope. Dazai simply tilted his head, maintaining his usual smile as he observed you. "So, which one do you want?" the man asked, presenting the prices. "Just don't take too long, I don't like indecisive buyers. "There was only one problem: you only had enough money to take one of the two.
