"D-Dazai san, what happened?" Atsushi asked the adult sitting next to him, who was busy doing his job with a serious look on his face. He then looked at the blond ponytailed man, who was gaping at the sight before him, unable to process whether what he was seeing was true or if he was hallucinating from overworking himself.

"Atsushi, do you also see what I see?" Kunikida asked the tiger boy, adjusting his glasses. Atsushi nodded.

The blond man walked over to the brunet and slammed his hand on his desk, making the other man look up
"Oi Dazai, what's this about?" Kunikida asked, eyeing the pile of finished paperwork on Dazai's table
"What do you mean Kunikida kun?" The brunet questioned back
"Why are you doing your work?"
"Don't you always tell me to do it myself?" The brunet asked with a confused look on his face.

Kunikida could not understand whether the brunet had finally gotten serious about his job or if he was just trying to get a reaction out of him, but he sure as hell knew that his patience was being tested from the cross questioning and that was surely not a good thing. He pulled Dazai by the collar, holding his shoe in his other hand, and hissed
"You did something you're not supposed to do, didn't you?"
"Whoa whoa whoa Kunikida kun" Dazai raised his arms in front of him defensively "Why would you suspect little old me?~"
"Why wouldn't I? You're acting like a normal human being for once and doing your job instead of handing it to Atsushi"
"Because I'm a responsible man who does his work~" The brunet replied

"Umm...... Dazai san?" Atsushi suddenly spoke up, looking around as if searching for something or someone "Where's Chuuya san?"
"I lost him" The brunet replied. Silence followed these words as the two processed the brunet's words

"EXCUSE ME- YOU WHAT?!"

"So you're saying that he wasn't there when you came back?" Kunikida asked, not sure if he should be angry or cry at his colleagues' irresponsible attitude
"Yup, you got it Kunikida kun!" Dazai replied happily
"You didn't bother telling us?"
"Don't worry. He'll be fine. I'm just waiting for someone to return and we can save Chuuya"
"Don't worry?! Little Nakahara has been kidnapped and you're saying don't worry? How are you even so calm??"
"Because I know nothing will happen to him" the brunet smirked, placing a finger over his lips

"For once, I actually believe Dazai san" Atsushi mumbled
"A disaster is waiting to happen" Kunikida sighed, shaking his head

*Achoo! Achoo!!*

"Chuuya, are you okay?" The dual haired man asked the little ginger, who was sneezing and coughing unontrollably.
"Hmn...*cough* I'm fine" Chuuya replied, in a hoarse voice
"You don't sound fine" Sigma said, checking Chuuya's temperature. His eyes widened in shock when he realised Chuuya was buring up "OH NO!"

Nikolai and Fyodor came running, from the other room, when they heard Sigma yell in panic.

"What happened?" Nikolai asked
"Chuuya has a bad fever. What should I do?" Sigma asked, looking like he would burst into tears any moment
"Chill, he has a fever. He won't die"
"But-"
"If he rests and eats well, he'll be fine"

Sigma picked Chuuya in his arms carefully and took him to the guest room of their hideout (Don't ask me why they have a guest room in a hideout) and lay the ginger on the bed, covered him with a blanket and ran to get a towel and an a tub of cold water. He dipped the towel in the water and placed it on Chuuya's head.
"I'm going to cook something warm for Chuuya kun. Dostoyevsky, can you look after him for the mean time?"
