Work Text:
Today was a strange day at the ADA. The members were everywhere running while making lots of works. Strangely this week they got many works out of nowhere. And Dazai was nowhere to be seen, he was probably trying out another suicide attempt he must have saw somewhere.
When they finally got to end their work, they decided to relax for the rest of the day. Today was pretty long, so why not relax after everything else?
I wonder where Dazai-san went today? Probably trying another attempt to not do any work. Sometimes I wonder how he never gets in problems with the president for not doing his work. Well... I guess it's kinda because of me too,I always end up doing his work instead. But I can't help it, I always think of how grateful i am for everything he has done for me... and he even helped me to get this job.
But i also noticed how he always dissapears and nobody seems to mind it. Maybe they are already used to it? I guess it's kinda common for Dazai-san.
Atsushi brings his mind back to reality when he hears a name calling him. A hand is placed on his shoulder moving him slightly but carefully.
"Atsushi? Are you alright? It's already been your turn for a while." Tanizaki said while sitted on the floor beside Atsushi looking worried for his colleague.
The members of the Agency were playing a game that Tanizaki introduced to Atsushi today. Atsushi found it interesting so he got chained to playing with his colleagues when they through he was ready enough to play seriously.
"Yes, are you alright Atsushi? If you're hurt anywhere you can always come for my treatment. It's always a pleasure to help people in pain." Yosano said making a shiver run down Atsushi's back.
"There's no need Yosano-san." Atsushi said while being intimidated by Yosano's treatment. "I was thinking of something... nothing important anyways." Atsushi grabbed a card and throwed another, he got a 9 of diamond.
"You can always tell me and my brother what's on your mind, i'm sure he can help you, right, Junichiro~" Naomi said while clinging to Tanizaki's arm while leaning uncomfortably close for siblings. Everyone around didn't seem to look at them and also seemed to ignore them but once in a while they covered Kenji's eyes when they saw the siblings doing something inappropriate.
"Yeah, you can tell me" Kyouka said ignoring the weird siblings and staring directly at Atsushi's eyes, while grabbing a card and throwing another. she got a 7 of coins
Kenji grabbed the card Kyouka throwed cheerfully looking proud of himself. "Yeah! You can always tell us what bothering you. In my farm the people would always make us tell our opinion about something that didn't matter a bit!"
Atsushi looked more encouraged at the words and decided to talk. "Dazai-san is almost always missing work, but he sometimes comes, and others days he doesn't even bother to tell if he's awake. So i was wondering... why does he always goes missing and nobody cares about it?..."
At the words Kyouka curiosity also gets picked. She hasn't know Dazai for that long but she is sure the man is someone very mysterious even for her who has worked with the Mafia. Kenji grabbed a card and throwed another. He ended with a one of coin.
Then Ranpo who was behind them eating on a table filled with junk food started chuckling. That catched their attention and picked their curiosity.
Then they heard Kunikida's voice who was sitting on his desk doing his work. "At the start we cared, but then whenever he always left, he always came back. So we are sure that suicidal maniac is just doing that because he wants to skip work. But... today is a different day." Tanizaki grabbed a card, eight of stick, and throwed another.
Ranpo agreed with a nod. "Yes, today is indeed a different day." Ranpo said with a smile.
"What does that mean?" Kenji said as one of the newest members was filled with curiosity. While Kyouka and Atsushi felt the same.
Yosano then ended the sentence Kunikida started and Ranpo continued. "He's always lost this same day every year. We don't know why," Yosano throwed a card, and grabbed another. She ended with a nine of stick.
"You could lost if you throw first." Naomi said to Yosano, but Yosano only chuckled.
"Or where." Ranpo continued her sentence.
"You don't know where he is?!" Kyouka asked stunned by the revelation. The rest of the members were as suprised and shocked. Atsushi grabbed another card, a 6 of diamond.
"I could. But i'm sure he wouldn't be 'all alright' if he knew." Ranpo said making now Kunikida and Yosano curiosity grow. Kyouka grabbed a card and throwed another. She ended with a 7 of stick.
"Well the man is a mystery anyways. He even forgot his coat yesterday and didn't come today to get it. Such a shame, today is your turn to take care of the coat Kunikida!" Yosano said to Kunikida. It seemed it was a common occurrence for Dazai to left his coat behind this same day every year. Kenji grabbed a card and throwed another. He ended with a two of diamond.
Then Yosano throwed a card and grabbed another, a smirk on her face.
"I wonder where Dazai-san is..." Atsushi said but Yosano cutter him down saying with a shout of cheerfulness.
"I win!" While showing her cards and there was a game, nine, ten, eleven, twelve of stick. And two, three, four of diamond.
The attention of the members was brought to the the window when some drops of water started to enter. The rain started pouring slowly getting more and more intense. It was a sound that brings peace to them and the smell of rain was something very interesting, so wet and cold but also when mixed with mud made a mess.
Kenji got up from his seat on the floor and started walking towards the window closing it with a soft thud.
~------------------------------------~--------------------------------------~
The rain poured without stop, he didn't even bring his coat today so it was colder than usual. The grave behind him with the letters 'S. ODA' printed in them.
"Today's weather is even more worse..." The same thing happened last year, the softness of the rain pouring at your head. The wetness of being sitting in something cold. This is truly something beautiful, right? "It's such a shame i hate rain so much..." Dazai said while he placed his hand on top of his head while rain poured making his bandages and clothes get wet after every second he stayed there. But Dazai didn't care, he just didn't want to leave Odasaku's gravestone on his anniversary. Not today, not ever.
Then a hand was placed on Dazai's shoulder. For a brief second Dazai felt how something was beside of him covering the rain falling on him. "You never change do you?" The voice of someone said while Dazai looked up, recognizing the voice like he would anywhere. The voice filled with emotion that only a human being would have.
"There's something called Umbrella existing, you know? You're supposed to be smart, Mackerel." Chuuya said, his voice with his usually hint of hatred at seening Dazai but today softened a little on the edge because it was a cementery.
"Ah, Chuuya. It's been a while since i saw you, have you gotten smaller?" Dazai said now smiling a bit but still looking a little gloomy. His voice lacking a bit of his usual cheerfulness, he was no longer using his mask and just relaxing a bit with Oda.
Chuuya then seemed to get angry as usual. "The fuck you mean smaller?! You've just gotten taller, Stupid bandage waster!" Chuuya said with the heat on his voice that always seemed to start whenever he looked at Dazai.
Then Dazai smile turns more genuine. "Just felt silly! You always get so worked up by the smallest things, maybe is because you feel identified?" Dazai said with a smirk.
"You never learn to shut up, don't you Fucker!?" Chuuya then lets out a sigh. "Anyways, we need to get home already, so stop your shitty nonsense of staying here until tomorrow, i'm sure by tomorrow you will be a dog breakfast." Chuuya said with a smirk.
Dazai gets up from his seat on the gravestone and walks towards Chuuya. As much as he tried to hide it, Chuuya noticed a shiver in Dazai's back after mentioning the dog. And Chuuya got a little happy at his victory of getting Dazai worked up.
"Alright, let's get to my car before you get more wet. And you better not complain or i will leave you on the middle of nowhere." Chuuya said while giving Dazai a warning look of 'if you even dare to bother me you will be in serious problems.' That was the only thing Dazai needed to want to tease Chuuya more.
"Whatever you say, Hatrack. Just make sure to not even touch my fries while i'm in the car!" Dazai said mockingly and playfully as if Chuuya were to try to touch him on the way to his house.
"WTF Dazai!? Don't even get close to my fries!" Chuuya said looking stunned and suprised. He gives Dazai a warily look and begins walking towards his car.
That last teasing Dazai gave him left him kinda suprised, as if he would ever touch Dazai's fries! He doesn't even have any fries to steal. The only good thing is his looks but that doesn't mean Chuuya is interested. But he kinda thinks of how it would be to be in a relationship with somebody? The couples on movies and social media looks sweet, they snuggle, goes on dates, give eachothers kisses... even the tiny through of kissing someone makes Chuuya's face flush slightly, why would he even be interesed in dating? To even think of snuggling or kissing with Dazai gives him a bittersweet feel on his mouth, even a hint slight of disgust, not because of Dazai's looks but because Dazai is someone he hates deeply for what he did to him, and how he made him join the Mafia out of his own will. But dating Dazai? That seems way too much.
