Chapter Text
To say Sigma was shocked about this mission was an understatement. They didn’t expect to have to go on an undercover mission this early on in the ADA, but alas they should have known.
What shocked them even more though was that out of all the people Fukuzawa could have picked, he picked DAZAI?! Sure the man was smart sometimes but he was always goofing off and trying to figure out ways to kill himself. It was a surprise how not a single attempt needed up working in the end though.
When They first woke up and got ready in their shared room ( with Dazai because apparently all the other rooms were occupied.) They had expected a somewhat normal day. It wasn’t until he was called to Fukuzawas office, that he realized that is was gonna turn south quite quickly.
“You called me, Sir?” Sigma asked nervously while slightly fidgeting with their hands “Yes, please take a seat.” Fukuzawa answered with a relaxed tone. “Why have you called me in here?” The younger man asked while taking a seat on one of two chairs in front of him. “You will see but for now we need to wait for someone before we can discuss the topic.” Almost immediately after the older man had said that the door opened to reveal a certain bandaged brunette walking through with a carefree grin of his face while having his hands behind his back.
As the brunette sat down Fukuzawa politely greeted the bandaged man as he had walked in, then after that he starting talking “Now that you both are here, I would like to discuss a mission request with the two of you” “What is the mission about?” Dazai asked, “I would like you both to infiltrate a school outside of Yokohama to gather more knowledge about a new organization” ‘…what’ Sigma was stunned.
While trying to collect himself from the sudden shock Dazai spoke up “how are we supposed to do that, we don’t even look like teenagers? And why us, can’t you get Kenji or Kyouka to do this mission?” As he finished speaking Fukuzawa started nodding and said “I understand your concerns but the Hunting Dogs agreed to help us by using one of their member’s abilities to make you look younger”
As he took a small breath to continue speaking Sigma though about something ‘I was created in the book though?, Would I even have a teenager form to turn into?’ When the oldest man started speaking Sigma turned his head back up to face him again “As for your second question, Dazai Kyouka and Kenji do not have the correct mentality to do this.”
After he finished speaking he got up and opened the door to the exit of the room and said “I will call the both of you in tomorrow for more information, but for now spend some time to process and think.” After speaking he turned to the open exit, and left.
‘What the fuck” Sigma didn’t realize he spoke out loud until Dazai spoke up “I think that might be the first time I’ve heard you swear since Mersault, Sigma-san.” Sigma cringed internally “… We don’t talk about Mersault” they said as Dazai quickly realized that they weren’t comfortable with talking about it. “.. Ahhhh, sorry” he said as he quickly got up and walked out of the room while the other man followed a couple of steps behind him.
As Sigma sat down at their desk, they felt a small finger tap their shoulder. As they turned around they were met by the sight of Kenji and his cow that he’s somehow allowed to bring into the office. “Hello Sigma-san! I noticed you seemed a little tense when you came out of Fukuzawas so I decided to bring you a cookie to make you feel better.” Kenji explained proudly. “Ah, thank you Kenji-kun!” They said as they took the cookie.
They didn’t really have much interest in eating the cookie but because of the younger boys cheery face, he decided it would be best to eat it. As he finished taking a bite he thanked the kid and watched as they handed one to Dazai then went back to his desk to admire his plant.
When they saw the boy go back to his desk, sigma quickly set the cookie down and started to work on some paperwork from his previous mission, It wasn’t anything too special, just some helping with a police investigation since Ranpo was out on another case with his supposed “Rival” Poe, Everyone knew Poe was basically head over heels for Ranpo exept for Ranpo himself and the President since he was fuller than a rock.
“Not hungry?” Someone asked behind them, causing them to jump in surprise a little to face the person talking, who was none other than the “Suicidal Maniac” than Dazai himself. It took Sigma a couple seconds to realize he was talking about the cookie ‘well it’s a good thing I didn’t even try to spit it out this time’ Sigma thought. It was then Interrupted by the bandaged man coming closer to their reports.
“What are these for?” He questioned as he picked them up “You would know if you actually read them.” Sigma responded trying to not look too annoyed. “Your words wound me Sigma-san!!” The taller man exclaimed while putting his free hand on his chest doing a mocking “hurt” position.
“Whatever, just give them back to me.” Sigma asked while extending his hand out to revive the papers. “Hmm… No I don’t think I will!” Dazai said as he took Sigmas extended hand and flipped it over, inspecting his nails. “What do you even mean ‘No’?! And why are you looking at the back of my hand” They were starting to get frustrated by the taller man’s antics and just wanted their paperwork back sp they could finish and maybe leave.
“Well your words hurt so much, so as a punishment I’m not giving your work back until you apologize~” Dazai replied almost in a sing-song way. He wasn’t expecting the younger man to suddenly stand up and snatch his papers from his hand before sitting back down. “Ah- Hey what was that for!” Dazai complained as he put his hands on his hips. “For not giving my my work back dumbass!” Sigma responded.
By this point they were about to slam Dazai’s head into the wall, If it wasn’t by the new yelling from Kunikida as he had just walking during the middle of the scene where Dazai had stolen their paperwork and already beat Sigma to slam his head down onto the desk. “Kunikida-san!!! You’re so mean!!” Dazai poured as he went back to his desk.
