Work Text:
It was a relatively normal day at the agency. Well, as normal as you can get when you work for the armed detective agency. Except for the fact Dazai was late.
Okay, that wasn't abnormal, it was actually the norm for Dazai. Except he’s usually 2 hours late at most, and it had almost been 3 and a half hours since the agency opened.
Kunikida was this close to calling Dazai to yell at him and ask him where he was, but Naomi came up to him just before he could.
“Kunikida-San, we got a call from the hospital. It's about Dazai-San.”
“What…?” Kunikida stared at her in stunned shock for a moment before regaining his composure. “What happened?”
“They said he was hit by a car in what they assume to be an attempted suicide attempt.”
“Thank you for telling me, Naomi.”
Kunikida, Yosano and Atsushi went to the hospital the second they heard about the news from Naomi. They went up to the receptionist desk, Yosano speaking up first.
“We’re here to see Dazai Osamu.”
“Oh, I’m sorry but I’m unable to let you see him at this time.”
The three blankly blinked at the woman.
“And why not?” Kunikida harshly asked.
“His emergency contact is already here and we’re unable to let anyone else in unless they allow it.” Emergency contact? Dazai didn’t have an emergency contact. At least, he didn’t on his agency records.
“Can you ask his emergency contact to let us in?” Atsushi asked.
“We can ask but there's no guarantee they’ll approve of it.”
Thankfully Dazai’s mysterious emergency contact said they were allowed to see him.
They went up to the room that the receptionist said he was in and opened the unlocked door. The sight that greeted them was just about the last thing they expected.
Port Mafia executive Nakahara Chuuya was sitting on a chair next to the hospital bed Dazai was laying in, his hand in his hair and running it through the strands.
“Port Mafia executive Nakahara Chuuya. What are you doing here?” Kunikida demanded.
“You’re a detective. I think you can figure it out.”
“Why would you be Dazai-san's emergency contact?” Atsushi was confused. Why would Nakahara be Dazai’s emergency contact? He knew they used to be partners in the mafia, but Dazai had left over 4 years ago.
Chuuya wordlessly replied by holding up his left hand, which had a black ring with blue swirls on it on his ring finger. It reminded Atsushi of the black ring with red swirls that Dazai wore on his left r-.
Oh.
Atsushi looked over at Yosano and Kunikida and they seemed to be having the same realization as him.
Dazai briefly woke up, if you can even classify it as that as he just pressed himself closer to Chuuya’s hand and muttered something under his breath before falling back asleep. Chuuya smiled softly at him, continuing to run his fingers through his hair. He thought Dazai looked kinda cute like this, but he would never tell him that.
