Work Text:
Akutagawa knew it was a bad idea to go to a bar, especially with the Agency and Mafia being there. But of course, he went there anyway. It’s not like he wanted to— Gin had spent hours trying to convince Akutagawa that he should have a day to himself. To apparently 'lighten up' a bit and 'let go for once'.
Reluctantly, Akutagawa agreed.
Now with how Atsushi ended up at the bar? He was practically dragged there by his mentor, Dazai, who said that he should live life to the fullest before he meets his ultimate demise. Which for the record, was a bit much. He really could’ve just said that it would be a nice opportunity to socialize or anything else other than that- but it was Dazai. Do you really think he of all people would say something normal?
Now Atsushi and Akutagawa were sitting at the same table, both turning their gaze everywhere except at each other. Everyone at the Agency just went up and abandoned Atsushi to do god knows what, and the entirety of the Port Mafia was drinking until they couldn’t form thoughts.
It was safe to say that Atsushi was bored out of his mind. He didn’t get any drinks, his friends abandoned him the second they entered, and Akutagawa was sitting right in front of him and not doing anything. Clearing his throat, Atsushi cut through the silence between them.
“Uhm.. do you want to get some drinks?..” Atsushi asked. Akutagawa slowly turned his gaze towards Atsushi, staring blankly at him. God, Atsushi wanted to disappear and never be seen again and he is going to kill Dazai for making him come here.
After around two minutes of complete silence Atsushi stood up and walked towards the bartender. “I- uhm.. I’ll go get some drinks.”
~~~
Now, they were planning to drink maybe at most five cups. But now Atsushi had lost track of how many drinks he had, maybe ten? More like fifteen.. Or maybe twenty. He didn’t know, what he did know was that Akutagawa was staring at him, scanning his face.
He looked absolutely gorgeous. The lighting suited him well, highlighting his sharp features. Sometimes he really did look like an angel. Or maybe he was one. He wouldn’t be that surprised if he turned out to be one, he looked as pretty as one.
Snapping out of his thoughts he noticed Akutagawa was looking at him expectantly.
“Ah.. sorry, what were you saying?”
Akutagawa rolled his eyes and scoffed.
“I was asking if you wanted another drink.”
“Oh, I’ll pass.” Akutagawa simply nodded in response and went to get himself another drink.
The alcohol had already turned Atsushi’s brain into mush. There was no way in hell he could handle more. And it certainly was already messing with his thought process.
Akutagawa came back, already taking a sip of his drink. The other watched this simple gesture before a thought came to mind. He began fidgeting with his hands as heat crawled up his neck before he spoke, “Hey, Aku.” Atsushi started as he hid his head into his arms. Now Akutagawa’s attention was all on him, not that he was complaining- but it felt so embarrassing.
“You’re..” Atsushi started, not sure if he really wanted to say this, but it was probably too late to turn back. “You’re pretty.” Now it was Akutagawa's turn to feel heat bloom in his cheeks as he stared at the other man.
After a long, awkward silence Atsushi was already preparing an apology. Well- that was before his face was pried from his arms by a familiar set of hands, those same hands lifted Atsushi's chin up to look towards the other. Atsushi’s eyes widened and he let out a small gasp.
“W-what are you doing?” Atsushi sputtered, the flush in his cheeks growing deeper by the second.
Any other thoughts he had formed seconds before were thrown out the window the second he felt his lips against Akutagawa’s. Akutagawa held his face with his hands, tilting his head for better access. After his brain finally catched up, he quickly melted into the other's hands. He wrapped his arms around the other's shoulders, eagerly returning and deepening the kiss. Atsushi could barely breathe as he clung to Akutagawa, not letting either of them let go for air.
“Oh wow, did we interrupt something?”
Atsushi immediately pulled away from Akutagawa’s hands and looked to where the voice was coming from.
Practically the entire Agency and Port Mafia were standing there, all with different expressions. Dazai stood there amused, Ranpo and Yosano were smirking, Chuuya and Kunikida looked ready to kill everyone there, Higuchi looked at them with wide eyes, and everyone else Atsushi’s mind couldn’t process.
Akutagawa didn’t look even the slightest bit fazed, well maybe he was slightly embarrassed by being seen by his superior but other than that he didn’t seem to care.
Atsushi on the other hand was hiding his face in his arms again, already planning ways to get out of there without being seen by anyone.
“Atsushi~ I never knew you would like someone from the mafia like that~” Dazai teased. When Atsushi looked up he saw Dazai smirking to himself as if he won a bet. Honestly, he wouldn’t be surprised if he really did set a bet on Atsushi’s love life.
“Shut up..” He mumbled, his ears were red and his entire face was burning. How was Akutagawa not affected by any of this?! Distantly, he heard Kunikida yelling about ‘proper work etiquette’ and how it was ‘inappropriate’ to have this kind of relationship with someone from a rival organization. Along with Chuuya dragging Akutagawa by the arm and yelling at him about how stupid it was to kiss someone from the Agency and how it’s full of people who supposedly ‘can’t do anything’.
“I’m so never shutting up about this.” Dazai was still giggling to himself, saying something about how it reminded him of someone.
“Ugh.. shut up..”
“Pftt- no.”
Now Atsushi was sure that Dazai was never going to stop teasing him about this and he just knows that the second they get back to the Agency he’s getting lectured for hours.
And Akutagawa was already getting an earful from Chuuya, and he most certainly was going to get many more from the other Mafia members.
Hopefully everyone forgets about it in the morning.
Everyone in fact did not forget in the morning.
