quicksand (Dazai X Reader)

date

I fell asleep during most of the conflict.

It's almost embarrassing. After the retrieving Q mission Dazai took me home and tucked me in as little kid, and I woke up 17 hours later, then woke up, took a shower, ate a cold bagel and fell asleep again, and by the time I woke up and process that I had totally neglected the fact that there was a war going on. Atsushi and Akutagawa had saved the day?

Dazai called me saying how cool it was and that I should have been there. I hung up on him out of frustration.

I called Chuuya but had no response, I don't know if he was still sleeping. I figured that he could be out cold for a while, considering the severity of his injuries and well, they don't got a Yosano.

It looks like our normal work dynamic is gonna go back to normal. I still haven't thought about what I'm going to do with Dazai and Chuuya. I have not forgiven the lazy detective. Well, I have but my pride has not, he keeps getting away with a lot of things, and I don't want to contribute to his selfish behavior. And I also want an explanation from Chuuya, and that's about it, if he decides we are going to cut contact then I want him to say it to my face not just ignore me.

I was on my way to the Agency with some pastries, the city has been peaceful since the ruckus caused by the Guild. I got a text from Chuuya in the morning saying "I am alive, kind of, thank you" and that's it. Guess things are still weird, I'll handle that later.

The office was the same as before, the siblings being weird and acting so not like siblings, Rampo was eating some chips and drinking a soda early in the morning, Yosano was looking at pictures of bodies, Kunikida was beating the shit out of Dazai and Atsushi was trying to get him to stop. Nature was healing.

I took a seat after leaving the pastries in the small kitchen we had and started to write the report of the night we fought that thing called Lovecraft. Since there were some parts where I was separated from Dazai I had to fill those holes in the report, it was supposed to be done by the both of us, but good luck getting Dazai to do his work.

Dazai sat down on his chair and slid his way into my desk, having no respect for personal space like always. I continued to type the report acting like I hadn't noticed his presence. He kept staring at me and putting his face close to mine, his nose almost touching my cheek, I just kept my deadpan face and kept ignoring him.

"Why are you ignoring meeeeee" he whined in my ear making me flinch, I threw him a dirty and angry look, then proceed to keep typing the events of that awesome night.

"Are you still mad at me?" he said faking being hurt and sad and I rolled my eyes in response.

"Tell me what can I do to make it better? Should I throw myself in front of a train? Or I could swim with sharks and let them take a limb or two? How about I bath myself in acid to end this endless suffering of not having you by my side? Oh please just forgive me... pretty pretty pretty please!" He said fake crying, tears were coming out of his eyes, he is a talented actor.

"Keep giving options that would end up in you dying, I wont forgive you by doing exactly what you want, stupid" I said in a monotone voice, still not looking at him. I gotta be honest with myself, I like this. Dazai giving me attention was sublime, especially when even though his options for earning my forgiveness aren't realistic, he still wants me to forgive him, for his own selfish reasons, but still I have something that he wants, and that gives me power.

"Do you really want me to forgive you?" I said in a low, almost seductive voice. I looked at him from the corner of my eye. His eyes lit up at the attention I was giving him.
