Chapter Text
The agency had just opened. A week after new year’s break and work already getting exhausting. Kenji bringing one of his hometown farm animals into office believing it was acceptable, Atsushi’s loud gasps as Kyoka mentioned a past punishment she endured in the port-mafia, Ranpo stuffing his face with another bag of candy, and Yosano working on her medical equipment as the rest were nowhere to be seen.
Though today felt… well… empty. And Kunikida couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong… maybe he missed an email? No, all replied. Paperwork? No, all stacked neatly on his desk and signed with the stunning black ink from his favorite pen. He felt oddly at peace…
Oh, that was it.
His idiotic, pushy, annoying, good-for-nothing, stupidly endearing co-worker, Dazai, was nowhere to be seen. Usually, even if he skipped work, he’d be annoying him usually through calls or texts. Which sparked Kunikida into checking his phone. Quickly padding over to his office desk where his mobile device laid face down, He reached over and picked up the phone. Fingers gliding across the screen to input his password and open his messages, clicking on Dazai’s contact that was totally pinned by accident and he so happened to be too lazy to fix. Kunikida stared down at his phone judgementally when he discovered not a single message or missed call from Dazai. He could nearly feel a blood vessel pop. NO way was he getting all pissed that Dazai didn’t message him… just annoyed he wasn’t at work… yeah… yeah!
Aside from that, Kunikida began to worry. Slightly. Well, he could just stop by Dazai’s apartment later today after work. His schedule wasn’t as crammed as usual and had some free time in his routine.
