~ 4 years later ~
The agency was sitting at their favorite cafe, having some coffee and tea. “ you know dazai, I never guess what your old job was.” Atsushi said between sips of his green tea.
“ Hmm, I guess you're right you never did guess, come to think of it…..” dazai paused to look around the table “ none of you have” he states. With a cocky smirk.
Tanizaki put his coffee down “ yeah not even ranpos smart intellect guessed it.”
“ yeah just call me out like that” ranpo says.
“ Sounds to me like y’all want to play another guessing game.” Dazai responses. “Kunikida.yosano. You're in” he asked across the table.
“Yea, sure” the raven-haired woman says.
Kunikida just rolled his eyes, “I played this game to Many time, good luck”
“ Ok, who wants to go first?” dazai retorted.
Atsushi raised his hand. “Me,” he said “before we started. Can you give us a hint?”
Dazai put his hand on his chin “ sure, lest see, where I worked i filled out paperwork sometimes”
“ umm let’s see, you did paperwork?” The boy asked. Dazai just nodded his head “a dispatcher?” The other man didn’t say anything, just shook his head, “ no, umm a secretary?”
“ ha,no. You have one more guess before someone else turns.”dazai takes a sip of his coffee now warmed.
Atsushi just let out a low gron. “ Let's see what you said, you fill in paperwork sometimes . Were you a private assistant?”
“ three strikes your out” dazai laughs out. “Next,” He said, expecting.
“ Let me go,” Yoson said. Draining the remaining liquid in her cup. “ Give me a hint.”
“ ok , well I had a partner.” Dazai said smiling
“ a partner, huh?” There was a pause. “Where are you, a police officer?” Dazai just shook his head no. “ no, well that sucks, you’ll look real sexy in a uniform.” She smirks.and she can hear Kunikida and atsushi both coughing up there drinks at the same time.
“ Well thank you I 'm flattered.” Dazai rested his hands in his cheeks “ you got two more guesse”
“ Well, were you a lawyer?” Dazai shook his head “ didn’t think so.”
“ one more” he reminds her.
“ Yeah,yeah I know but were you a teacher like Kunikida?”she says as her last guess.
“NOPE!” Dazai admits with a smile.”Tanizaki?Naomi?Would any of you lovely people like to give it a try, hm?”
“ I mean what else is there? I know you weren't a firefighter, that’s too much work for you.” The youngest sibling says.
“ I'm wounded,” he says,putting his hand up to his chest.
“ yeah that’s all we got,” Tanizaki said, putting his head down.
“ that’s ok at least you played and wasn’t a party pooper, like cough cough. Kunikida “ he pointed a finger at the other man.
“ Because I played this game before you say no to every possible job,” Kunikida replies,”I bet you were just wandering the streets without a job.”
“ not true” dazai saids with a strong voice “ I will never lie about something like this.” He takes another look around the table. “ Ranpo! Do you have any ideas?” He marks expectedly.
“ I don’t have any idea I have an answer.” He said, opening his green eyes.
“ oh?” Dazai retorted.
“ Yeah, are you ready?” He asked. Now everyone at the table had curious eyes was on him.
“ ready as I’ll ever be” dazai smiles.knowing Ranpo knew what his last job was.
“ you were….” A long pause “In the port mafi” ranpo finished with a cocky smile. Then he casually finished drinking his soda listening to the little gasps at the table.
Dazia took in a breath “ correct”
Kunikida was that first to speak “ w…w..wait ranpo y..your not making any sense”
“ yeah he is, he said I was in the port mafi and I said correct” dazai admitted
“ what?! You in the port mafi,” Kunikida laughed “ yeah right like I believe that bull shit”
“ language,” yoson said. Shock Present in her voice.
“ yeah i Was In The port mafia, now. How did you finger that out ranpo?”
“ Well it was easy, first you said that you fill out paperwork sometimes which I’m guessing was when you were filling in reports.” He takes a pause to chew on his chips “ then you said you had a partner , who I’m guessing is your husband -“
“ WHAT,WAIT YOU GOING TO FAST…!! “ Kunikida shouted.and the waiter had to shush him. “ husband , who’s husband ?”
Ranpo rolled his eyes “ dazai husband ,are you dumb?”
Atsushi turned to dazai “ you gay?” He said calmly.
“ Oh good heavens no, I’m bisexual. My husband gay is though.” He laughed out loud.
“ I knew it, “ Yosno said excitedly.
“ yeah?” Dazai asked.
“ uh yeah” she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
“ umm can I get back to my point please,”ranpo said.
“Yeah,sorry” she sat down.
“ Anyways, where was I?Oh yeah, I was talking about your husband before Kunikida stopped me.” He glared at him “ your husband Nakahara Chuuya,” that made the hole table go quit “ oh come dazai have a ring,and chuuya has a necklace, with the same ring”
“ chuyya like c..c…chuyya that port mafi executive?.” Kunikida said shackly.
“ Yes Captain, obviously ,” dazai says.
“ Ok so let me get this straight,you're not” atsushi starts and dazai nobs “ok and you have a husband,how long have you and chuuya been married ?”
“ My dog and I have been married for 4 years, sadly.” Dazai counters.
“Umm…. Dog?” Atsushi asked
“ Never mind” dazai puts his head in his hands.
“ ok, well 4 years is a long time “ Atsushi. Said.
And their conversation continues from there with a dazai explaining, and ranpo talking about double black which started a whole new conversation. To what Naomi called and I quote “ young lovers with world agent them” yeah dazai was just confused at that but he let off
