Work Text:
The clock at the agency drove Atsushi mad. He waited impatiently for the moment he could leave the nightmare he calls his job.
Between hauling Dazai out of the river and getting Ranpo back to the agency, he simply hoped for the day to be over. For the first time in forever, he had something to look foward too after work. This something being his boyfriend of 1 month: Ryuunosuke Akutagawa himself.
Somwhere between the death threats and the (highly) reluctant partnership, the two got closer. Jealousy gave way to awe and admiration, resentment turned into fondness. Despite their opposite moral codes, the two found a mutual understanding that morphed into a deep love.
Love. A concept once foreign to Atsushi, now a source of comfort.
The clock finally hit 4 pm. When Atsushi got ready to leave, his phone begun to ring. Seing the callers id, he got worried. Why would Nakahara Chuuya call him all of the sudden?
When he answered the phone, the caller loudly inhaled.
"Why did you let Akutagawa come to work, Weretiger?!" Chuuya screamed.
"What happened . . .?" He asked timidly.
"Not only does he look like death from china, he is burning up and FAINTED IN A MIDDLE OF A MEETING!"
"Oh"
"DO NOT 'OH' ME, WERETIGER! COME GET HIM!"
"Please don't scream anymore"

Ryuunosuke looked even worse than Atsushi expected. His skin had a nasty, green hue, he coughed his lungs out every few minutes and still refused to give up on working.
"Why didn't you tell me you were feeling ill?" Atsushi asked.
"I thought it would pass" The man himself replied.
"Well, you thought wrong. And now, we're going home"
"Can I at least take some paperwork home?"
"Absolutely not"

While getting Ryuunosuke to his house was a challenge, making him rest was a suprisingly easy endeavor. He obeyed Atsushi's every word, letting himself be pampered.
In the end, Ryuunosuke ended up uner a pile of blankets in his bed.
When Atsushi tried to leave, he stopped him.
"Atsushi, could you please stay. . .?:
"Of course, Ryuu!" He happily replied
"Could we, you know, . . . cuddle?" He said with a slight blush
"I told you, you don't have to be so shy" Atsushi responded "Plus, you know how much i love cuddling, Ryuu"
"Then come here, somehow I'm still cold"

When Gin returned home, they were confused. The heater was on, which meant Ryuunosuke was back from work. Weird, because he was supposed to work overtime that day.
When they opened the door to his room, they were flaberghasted.
Ryuunosuke was cuddling with someone scarily simillar to the Agency's Weretiger
No, scratch that, it was the weretiger.
With a malicious plan in mind, they began to take photos of the couple.
Since Ryuunosuke was sleeping, they didn't want to wake him up. The teasing could wait.
Wait until the next morning that is.
