“Dazai San?” Atsushi asks fidgeting with his hands. Dazai was lounging on the couch listening to music. He was kicking his feet, obviously thinking about something, or someone?
“Hmm?” Dazai looked over at Atsushi and pushes his headphones down to his neck. “What do you need Atsushi kun?”
“Uh well..I had a question…” Atsushi looked at Dazai straight in the eyes and asked. “Have you ever had a crush, or maybe do you..have one?”
Those words must’ve shocked Dazai because he jumped up and yelled. “I WOULD NEVER HAVE A CRUSH ON THAT SLUG!”
Everyone looked at the two in shock. Atsushi hadn’t even said Chuuya’s name? Dazai noticed everyone staring and sat back down. “I never said you did?”
“Um anyway well..no I have never had a crush..” Atsushi looked at Dazai’s face almost as if he was looking right into his soul.
”Uh why do you ask?” Dazai said trying desperately to change subject. “I think I have one..” Atsushi says fidgeting with his hands again. “Ohh! That’s awsome Atsushi! Who’s the lucky person?” Dazai asked.
“Well the thing is..they’re from an enemy organization..” Atsushi turned red and looked away from Dazai’s widened eyes. Dazai remembered when Chuuya had told him he was gay back when they were 15. Chuuya had a tiny crush on someone in an enemy organization and would brag about how pretty they were. Dazai killed them. Dazai remembered Chuuya’s face when he found the body behind the Port Mafia. He was traumatized. Luckily no one knew Dazai killed the poor guy. Chuuya wouldn’t have forgave Dazai if he knew.
“Oh! Well as long as Kunikida doesn’t find out!” Dazai laughed. “He would definitely cry!”
”Dazai San! This is serious!” Atsushi whined. “Akutagawa would never like me back!”
Dazai stopped laughing and put on a disgusted face. “Eww! You like that emo! You could do so much better! Like for example Tanizaki is a perfect guy just make sure Noami doesn’t find out!”
“I’m out of that phase he's too in love with his sister!” Atsushi said. “Oh hey Kunikida!” Kunikida had walked in and had a serious face on. Atsushi walked over to greet Kunikida while Dazai stayed where he was. “Hello Atsushi kun.” Kunikida said sternly.
“DAZAI!” Kunikida yelled over to Dazai. Who completely ignored him, putting back his headphones on. Kunikida stomped over and snatched them off his head. Earning a whine from Dazai. “NOT TODAY. THERE IS A MEETING BEING HELD SOON AND YOU HAVE TO ATTEND.” Kunikida has had enough of Dazai’s lack of work.
“Why do I have to attend this super important meeting? Is it because you can’t get enough of my charms?” Dazai said, smirking.
“No it’s actually because you and Nakahara San are going to be working together on a joint mission.” Kunikida explained. Dazai’s heart dropped at the sound of Chuuya’s name. He didn’t expect to see him so soon again. The last time they saw each other was yesterday, well maybe that was a lie they see each other everyday. They just can’t ignore each other.
“I dont wanna!” Dazai says crossing his arms. “I don’t ever wanna work with that slug again!”
“God you are such a brat! It’s not an option! I’ll drag you there right now!” Kunikida said looking at his watch. His eyes widened as he was about to be a minute late. “RIGHT NOW.”
Kunikida grabbed Dazai by his arm and started to walk him out of the agency. “If you wanted to hold hands you could’ve just asked!” Dazai said, grabbing Kunikida’s hand.
“Ugh if that makes you stay go for it.” Kunikida said. The place where the meeting was being held was only a few blocks away. They held hands the whole walk. Once they got inside of the building Dazai didn’t let go of Kunikida’s hand.
“Not y-!” Chuuya yelled at the sight of Dazai but was cut off by the sight of his hands interlocked with his new partners.
Dazai couldn’t look Chuuya in the eye he just couldn’t? Kunikida finally made Dazai let go of his hand and started to advance, explaining the plan. They were going to have Chuuya and Dazai go on an undercover mission because of a troublesome organization who was trying to tear Yokohama apart. The two of them were picked because of how many people used to think Chuuya was Dazai’s girlfriend.
“NO WAY! IM NOT GOING TO ACT AS THAT MACKERELS GIRLFRIEND! IM NOT EVEN A GIRL!” Chuuya protested. Chuuya noticed how Dazai wouldn’t look at him and decided to ignore it. But he wasn’t arguing either? He wasn’t even fighting back?
”Kunikidaaa but I don’t want to pose as someone else’s boyfriend when I have youuu!~” Dazai out a finger to Kunikida’s chest and started to make a circle motion with it. this obviously caught Chuuya’s attention because he growled a cuss.
“Not the right place or time for this Dazai.” Kunikida said. “But anyway we have no clue what there organization is called nor who owns it. We’re still getting that information from our recourses. We will have said information once the mission day starts.”
Chuuya was looking the other way so he wouldn’t have to torture himself with the look of Dazai and his new “Boyfriend”. There was an odd tension until the end of the meeting. Dazai never moved his finger from Kunikida’s chest and made sure to grab Kunikida’s hand on the way out.
Once they got back to the agency Kunikida confronted Dazai about his “weird” actions.
“What was that all about. I’m not your “boyfriend” Dazai.” Kunikida said. “Relationships come second my job comes first. If you have feelings they will have to wait.”
”Kunkida! Please just pretend! Chuuya was so jealous! It was hilarious!” Dazai said desperately. Kunikida gave Dazai an unimpressed look and sighed.
“Do you like Nakahara San?” Kunikida asked. Dazai was at a loss of words and started mumbling stuff Kunkida couldn’t understand so he asked again. “Do you have a crush on the Port Mafia executive: Chuuya Nakahara.”
”Ew no!” Dazai argued.
”Your face says otherwise.” Kunikida looked at Dazai who was still at a loss of words and came up with a conclusion. “Fine. But only if you pay your tab downstairs.”
“fine.” Dazai groaned. Dazai had a fake boyfriend now. Whenever he saw Chuuya on a mission with Kunkida he acted flirty and happier then ever. The undercover mission was happening in a few weeks so him and Kunikida were always together. Along with Chuuya. When Dazai was rehearsing one of the things he had to say he never looked Chuuya in the eyes until Kunikida left for a couple minutes. Chuuya grabbed Dazai’s face and made him look at his ocean blue eyes.
”Why won’t you look at me?” Chuuya said holding Dazai’s face. “Is there something wrong?”
“Chuuya stop let me go..” Dazai forced his eyes closed. Chuuya looked at Dazai with a confused expression. Dazai turned red? Chuuya grew even angrier and started to yell. “JUST LOOK AT ME!” Chuuya yelled pushing Dazai to the ground. This caused Dazai to open his eyes and look at Chuuya. “Stop!” Dazai turned away from Chuuya, his heart beating fast. He began to run out of the room. Chuuya didn’t follow he just stood there hand over mouth. “Goddamnit.” Chuuya was blushing almost as hard as Dazai once he looked him in the eyes.
Kunikida walked back into the room and began to search for Dazai. “Where did he go?” Kunikida asked.
Chuuya didn’t reply he just stood there red as a tamato. “Are you sick, Nakahara San? Why are you so red?” Kunikida asked.
”SHUT UP!” Chuuya screamed. He blasted himself through the roof and began to fly away. “What the hell.” Kunikida said, he didn’t get paid enough for all this. “I’m not fixing that.” Kunikida walked out of the room.
***
Chuuya flew back to the Port Mafia still blushing a bit. Akutagawa walked up to Chuuya blushing almost as hard as Chuuya.
”Chuuya San?” Akutagawa asked. “I’d like to ask you a question.”
”Eh? Sure go ahead.” Chuuya didn’t look at Akutagawa while speaking. He didn’t want Akutagawa to see his face after all. “Have you ever fallen in love?” Akutagawa asked.
”NO!” Chuuya yelled. “NEVER. IVE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE WITH THAT MACKEREL.” Akutagawa looked at Chuuya who was now looking at him with his hands on his sides.
“I never said you were?” Akutagawa said, coughing moments after. He looked at Chuuya who was turning red more and more by the second, he almost pitied him. “Um well I suppose I could just ask Kouyou San.” Akutagawa began to walk away until Chuuya yelled something out to him.
“Don’t fall in love with the weretiger on your way out!” Chuuya teased. Akutagawa looked behind his shoulder and gave Chuuya a look.
”Don’t. Ever.” Akutagawa said in a threatening tone. Chuuya laughed and started to wave bye to Akutagawa, who returned the nice gesture and walked away. Once Chuuya made sure he was gone he totally lost his cool. “Goddamnit!” Chuuya yelled kicking a plant over. He needed a break from Dazai and everything going on. So he went to a bar. He found this bar one time when he was 16 and continued to go so much the bartender was like his own therapist.
***
He walked into the alleyway where the bar was located. He looked at the sign glowing a bright red with big white letters. The sign read: Bar Lupin.
As he walked in the bar he heard noises of talking. That’s weird usually there’s no one here. Whatever he continued walking until he recognized that voice. It was Dazai’s voice.
“I never thought I would ever fall in love! How stupid of me! Dazai yelled to the bartender who just replied: “Mhm!”
Dazai was in love?
Chuuya ran out of the Lupin with a hand covering his mouth. Dazai like you know the demon prodigy was in love? Chuuya couldn't believe it! But that’s not what was important it was who.There was still a week until the mission start. So Chuuya started his own mission. 'Who is Dazai in love with' was the mission name. To complete this mission he had to “accidentally” bump into Dazai in the street.
***
Day 1 of Who Is Dazai In Love With. 6 more days until the Undercover mission.
Chuuya followed Dazai around to his workplace and more. His first suspicion was the waitress at the cafe. Dazai was flirting with her a little to much. Wasn’t he dating Kunikida? For some reason Chuuya had a tight feeling in his chest? He didn’t know what this feeling was nor why it was there. He ignored the feeling and walked into the cafe. Once he went in he immediately felt eyes on him. After all he was a mafia executive walking into the agency cafe.
“Nakahara San. What brings you here?” Kunikida asked. “Do you have details about the mission?”
”Oh no I just wanted to um you know..have a drink?” Chuuya couldn’t think of an excuse fast enough. Once Dazai heard the voice he immediately started to turn red. He heard Kunikida say stuff but he ignored instead he watched as Dazai got up and started to “hide” behind Kunikida.
“Kunikida! Are you cheating on me?” Dazai yelled, not making eye contact with Chuuya.
“No? And why are you so red? Are you okay?” Kunikida cupped Dazai’s cheek and started to inspect him a bit.
“Aww Kunkida is so sweet to me! I love youu!~” Dazai placed a tiny kiss on Kunikida’s cheek. “So sweet.” Chuuya’s gaze basically burned into Kunikida, and, for some reason.. he felt..hurt? Dazai wasn’t like that to him ever? Well I guess that makes sense since they weren’t dating anyway. “Kunikida..your my favorite partner.” Dazai whispered a bit to loud. That was it for Chuuya. He immediately ran out of the cafe. Kunikida. Kunikida. Kunikida. Kunikida. That’s who Dazai loved. Dazai favorited his new partner Kunikida. Fuck Chuuya was hurt. Seven years they’ve known each other and he was so easily replaced in 4 years? Maybe he wasn’t as important as he thought he was.
Dazai looked over to see Ranpo shaking his head. He then mouthed the words: “You took it to far.” Dazai furrowed his brows and looked away, he unhanded Kunikida who was fuming at Dazai for kissing his cheek and started to walk out of the cafe. He went back home ignoring Kunkida’s message’s and calls, and soon after went asleep.
***
Chuuya cut the mission short since he knew who Dazai loved now and was now at his apartment drinking away like nothing else in the world mattered. He looked over at a picture frame placed on his coffee table, he inspected in for a little until he decided to grab it, then smash it to pieces. The picture was of him and Dazai’s first time trying a cigarette. Dazai was making a disgusted face while Chuuya was coughing. He remembered it like it was yesterday. Dazai stole a pack of cigarettes for him and Chuuya to try.
Chuuya was blackmailed into trying it with a simple photo of him on Halloween dressed as a dog. Chuuya was first to try it and was coughing like he had something in his throat after. Dazai coughed even more then that and made multiple faces. In the end Chuuya never stopped.
Chuuya threw the glass frame everywhere, smashing everything except the photo itself. He started to yell. Not loud enough for others to hear though. Soon enough he wore himself out with all the alcohol and a sore throat now. He knew he wouldn’t be able to talk for a while now. He started to feel a little faint and passed out moments after.
***
The rest of the days passed by like a feather in the wind. All spent on Chuuya yelling and Dazai sulking. It was now the day of the mission.
Kouyou was the one getting Chuuya dressed for this mission. He was going to wear a tight silk red dress along with blood red heels.. Kouyou gave Chuuya the dress and heels, he only looked at them for two seconds until he started to understand what she was trying to say. “I’m not wearing those.”
“Yes you are lad. Now get going.” Kouyou spoke in a icy cold tone which made Chuuya shiver. He grabbed the dress and heels then walked into the bathroom.
Yosano was the one helping Dazai with his outfit. She handed him a black suit along with a rose inside of the pocket. Dazai groaned and grabbed the suit and navy pants that were lying around the room. The pair were in separate rooms but still came out at the same time. Kouyou immediately started to squeal. “Beautiful lad!”
Chuuya turned red and looked away. Yosano was bringing Dazai into the room Chuuya was in, once she got inside she started to squeak as well. Chuuya had a rose in his hair and his waist made him look like a model! He looked prettier then a girl.
Dazai was trying to close his eyes so he didn’t have to see but Yosano pushed him over to Chuuya’s direction. Dazai opened his eyes and immediately started to redden. Chuuya was looking away but Dazai could still see how red he really was. Yosano and kouyou were blabbering about how greatly done they did their part. The only thing Dazai was thinking was why? Why did he have to fall in love with such a human? Chuuya? Why him?
Chuuya looked up and was about to say something when Kunikida barged in. “The cars here!”
***
Chuuya looked away from Dazai and started to proceed to the exit. Dazai followed behind him not daring to say a word. Kunikida gave them both their walkie talkies and explained who they were going after. “The man’s name is Buichiro Shirase.”
Chuuya’s eyes widened immediately after hearing that. So did Dazai’s. “The organizations name is the Sheep. They started to cause trouble down near the Port Mafia territory but besides that they also are killing innocent people.”
Dazai thanked Kunikida for the information and proceeded with Chuuya to the car. Chuuya didn’t say a word the whole walk he just stared in the distance. He would have to beat the Sheep? His original family? The whole reason he joined the Port Mafia? Unbelievable.
The car ride ended quick and the two started to prepare for the mission. Kunikida started to speak into the walkie talkies. “Your code names are Rin (for Chuuya) and Seishirou (for Dazai)”
“Thank you Kunikida.” Dazai said, forgetting to turn it off.
Chuuya linked his arm with Dazai’s and he felt as Dazai tensed up. “Don’t be so tense asshole your going to blow our cover!” Chuuya whispered. Dazai just nodded quickly and started to take control of his breathing. Chuuya walked in and immediately felt eyes on him. He saw a familiar pink haired girl wearing a pretty pink dress with white ruffles on her sleeves and skirt bottom walking over to them. “Hey! You two look familiar? Do I know you?” The pink haired girl asked.
”I don’t believe so? What’s your name? I’m Rin.” Chuuya said holding a hand out to her with a smile. “Yuan!” Yuan held Chuuya’s hand and shook it. Chuuya’s eyes widened at the sound of her name. Dazai felt Chuuya tense up and took over the conversation.
”Me and Rin are engaged. I’m Seshirou.” Dazai said. He decided it would be best if he could at least try and hide his blush. Before Yuan could say a word someone started to speak into the microphone. Their eyes were directed to a grey haired man talking on stage.
“Hello! Welcome to the Sheep reunion party! We unfortunately don’t have the “Sheep King” here but that’s perfectly fine!”
Chuuya shivered at the name. Dazai untangled his and Chuuya’s arms and led them closer to the stage. Chuuya took his hand but felt someone grab his other. Slow music started to play and he watched as Dazai held both of his hands.
”Shall we?” Dazai said in a flirty tone. Which totally didn’t make Chuuya’s heart flutter.
”I suppose so, dear.” Chuuya flirted back. Dazai pulled Chuuya's waist closer and started to move a bit. Chuuya’s red locks were flowing around him like it’s his aura and Dazai just looked at him like no one else was there. Dazai’s lips moved on there own and went in for a kiss. Chuuya immediately pulled back and put a hand up. “What are you doing bastard?”
”There are people watching us.” Dazai said sternly. Chuuya shivered a bit but went in for the kiss. He melted into the kiss immediately after Dazai opened his mouth. He made a noise and looked over to Shirase who was talking to Yuan. He looked mad. Really mad. Dazai continued kissing Chuuya. He looked over the same direction Chuuya was looking and listened. He finally stopped kissing Chuuya when he made a louder noise then before. “Goddamnit bastard you have a boyfriend stop kissing me damnit.”
Dazai just looked away listening to Shirase rant about the “Sheep King” and how annoying he was. Dazai watched as Chuuya stared at them with a sad look. He grabbed Chuuyas waist and whispered in his ear. “It’s okay.”
Chuuya didn’t say anything he just looked away. The plan was immediately set into motion immediately once Shirase noticed Chuuya. “Who’s that pretty girl?” Shirase asked Yuan. She looked over at the direction Shirase was pointing at and giggled.
”That’s Rin and her husband Seishiro! She looks a lot like Chuuya doesn’t she?” Yuan exclaimed. She watched as Shirase nodded but started to walk away. He walked away too Chuuya. Dazai noticed it and unhanded Chuuya’s waist. He gestured to Shirase once Chuuya made a dissatisfied noise. “Hello there?” Shirase asked.
“Yes? Oh hello!” Chuuya said. Chuuya smiled at Shirase who was only getting closer. “Have we met before?” Chuuya shook his head and stopped smiling a little.
“I don’t believe so? I’m Rin.” Chuuya backed up a bit because Shirase was getting a little personal. “Your lying.”
Shirase saw through him. Chuuya started to sweat a little and backed up more. “No?” Chuuya was getting ready to beat this guy up. He was about to punch him but Shirase said something.
”Chuuya.” Shirase reached for something in his pocket but before he could grab the item Dazai grabbed his wrist. Chuuya was lost he hadn’t heard Shirase say his name for so long. He started to feel warm liquid fall down his cheek once he saw Shirase fall. No one saw or heard what happened. Dazai made Shirase faint with a quick flick of his hand. He sighed and dragged Shirase’s body over to the back which led into an alleyway. “Kunkida? Yeah we got him.” Dazai said into the walkie talkie and noticed it was already on before he pressed the button.
”Oh shit.” Kunikida heard a LOT which they will have a conversation about later. Chuuya was sitting on the sidewalk as they waited for the car to pull up. Dazai was just talking to Ranpo and Yosano along with Kouyou on his walkie talkie.
Chuuya heard a little of their conversation but he didn’t care. Before Chuuya could get up to see if the car was there yet he felt something hit his side. A bullet. “What the fuck!” He yelled before passing out. “Chuuya! Fuck!” Dazai picked Chuuya up and hid behind a wall. “Chuuya?” Dazai brought Chuuya to sit up. Dazai repeatedly said Chuuya’s name but got no reply. He felt liquid coming out of his eyes as he begged for Chuuya to answer. There was still time left. He looked for the bullet and saw what was there.
A tranquilizer laced with poison. Only the Sheep would know that he’s not immune to poison. Dazai started to let it out. He let his yells for Chuuya to come back devour every other noise around. He never even got to say how good Chuuya was at walking in heels. Dazai heard a car pull up and immediately had hope. He grabbed Chuuya and started to walk over. Until it started to rain. Now he couldn’t tell if it was the rain or if he was crying neither could the Agency and Kouyou.
Kunikida was the first to come out of the car. He ran over to the pair and immediately yelled for Yosano to come faster. “What happened?”
“Someone shot him with a poison laced tranquilizer.” Dazai said. He looked as if he didn’t care at all. He looked emotionless. Kouyou ran out as fast as she could to.
”Is Chuuya okay?!” She yelled seeing Chuuya in Dazai’s arms. Dazai just shrugged.
The night was dark and the rain was glistening. Chuuya’s face was illuminated with the moonlight ad the water making him look like he’s glowing. Shirase was taken by the Mafia cleaning squad and Dazai was staring at Chuuya’s face. He looked dead though Dazai knew Yosano could help him. It was just scary to think of Chuuya dead. In every universe he’s created Chuuya was always his right hand man, partner, friend, alive. He was always there.
“Dazai. You have to place him down. My ability won’t work if you don’t.” Yosano explained.
Dazai didn’t say anything he only placed Chuuya down. He watched as butterflies surrounded Chuuya. The light illuminating Chuuya’s frame. How beautiful Chuuya really was. Yosano poured a liquid into Chuuya’s mouth and made him swallow it.
Once the healing was done they got back into the car. No one said a word nor dared to.
***
Dazai volunteered to take Chuuya back to his apartment. He placed Chuuya’s arms around his shoulders and piggybacked him the whole way home. He didn’t expect Chuuya to wake up so soon.
Chuuya groaned and opened his eyes. “Dazai?”
“Yes Chuuya it’s me.” Dazai said. He had placed his coat around Chuuya’s head so he didn’t get as wet. “What happened?”
“You were shot by a poison laced tranquilizer.” Dazai was so worried. Chuuya hummed and didn’t say anything else the whole walk. Once Dazai got home he placed Chuuya on his bed and tucked him in. He went to walk away until he felt a hand grab his wrist.
“Chuuya? Go to bed your injured.” Dazai walked back over to the bed and stood beside it.
“I love you.” Chuuya said looking down. He knew Dazai didn’t love him back but he still had to say it.
“You do?” Dazai’s eyes widened. Chuuya loved him back? Really? He started to laugh.
Chuuya made a confused expression and stared at Dazai who was breaking down laughing. “What?”
”I love you too idiot.” Dazai said. “And I never had a boyfriend I just wanted to make you jealous.”
“YOU SON OF A” Chuuya was cut off by Dazai’s lips. Chuuya kissed him back and wrapped his arms around Dazai’s neck. Chuuya pulled away and grabbed Dazai’s shirt causing him to fall on the bed. Dazai laughed again and pulled Chuuya to lay on top of him.
”Your dress is so soft..” Dazai whispered. “Your suit is uncomfortable.”
”Whatever.” Dazai kissed Chuuya’s forehead and felt Chuuya’s breathing even out. “Goodnight my slug.”
