Chapter Text
The slender brunette boy got out of the car in front of the apartment complex in Musutafu. Dazai wasn’t very happy with the situation he was facing, having to not only go to a school, but a hero school of all places. He thought of strangling the creepy doctor while he walked up to the small apartment that was landed to him for the time of this job. As far as he knew all the applications to the school have been handled by Mori already, all he had to do was take the tests a week from now. As he got to the apartment’s door he took notice of the tampered lock. He took out his switch blade in caution as he entered the flat, only to immediately realize who the intruder was. His favorite Russian rat was sitting on his sofa, practicing some sort of card game. As Fyodor turned towards him from the noise Dazai spoke up.
“Came to spy on me, Fedya?”
The Russian boy hummed with a small smile that they both knew was just as fake as they were.
“Not quite Osamu, you see I became bored lately and when I caught wind of you signing up to UA for reasons unknown, I decided to join you, makes things more exciting wouldn’t you say so?”
Dazai let out a small scoff, but put away the knife and plopped down next to Fyodor.
“Do you really have to stay here of all places though? I’d prefer my apartment rat free.”
The brunette complained in fake annoyment.
Fyodor observed, amused by the other’s antiques. The two geniuses then fell into a comfortable silence, completely understanding what the other was thinking.
The exam’s date approached quickly, the two demons living semi-peacefully under the same roof. They woke up on the day of the exam, Fyodor on the couch due to the lack of space. The two quickly got dressed and made their way to UA high to take the exams. On their way they stayed silent, observing the other’s behavior. As they entered through the gate they amusedly glanced at other students who were all different kinds of nervous, taking enjoyment in their troubles. The two genius passed by a nervous wreck of a boy with green hair, but the two couldn’t care any less about the crisis the kid was facing. As they entered the exam hall and started the test both Fyodor and Dazai quickly bored of how easy they deemed the test. They both handed it in quite quickly, and went out into the hall. The bandaged boy sighed annoyedly
“Ugh that was so boriiiiing, don’t they know how to make a challenge???”
Fyodor just chuckled in amusement
“I agree, it was quite unamusing. I brought my chess set though, we could play a game while we wait for the physical exam”
Dazai sighed once more
“Riight the physical. You’ll definitely fail, after all I don’t think an anemic rat could pass. But fine let’s play”
The Russian ignored Dazai’s comment, and instead started setting up the chess board. The two started playing, while several students seemed to finish, coming out of the room with either a satisfied or a defeated expression. The two boys became very invested in their game, not even registering how much time has passed until they were called to complete the physical exams. They both got assigned to different groups, both knowing the details of the exam having hacked the school system days before. The exam started, and Dazai decided to rather focus on the hidden points of the exam rather than the main points. He ran around helping out where he could, putting on a front and pretending to be nice so to not frighten the weak minded students. He managed to get enough points from both categories eventually, but he grew more and more annoyed from having to play nice for so long. Dazai was starting to get tempted to just go home and swallow a bunch of pills Mori prescribed him as a possibly painless way out. As the exam came to an end he noticed Fyodor walking out as well, obviously exhausted from the physical strain.
“My favorite rat, how’d it go Fedya”
Fyodor just gave him a tired glare and started walking away, completely ignoring the bandaged idiot. Dazai feigned in mock offense as he whined
“Feeedya don’t ignore me, you’re hurting my feelings”
Nonetheless he followed his favorite rat all the way to the apartment.
