quicksand (Dazai X Reader)

last act: western thrill

When I woke up Dazai was gone, the side of the bed he was laying now cold and alone. It was like 5 in the morning, it seems that I have slept the whole past day, and honestly I feel great now. So I decided to get up and start my day.

After showering and changing I picked up my phone, filled with notifications. Messages from the members of the Agency asking me how I was, and if I was feeling better, then like fifteen messages of Chuuya asking me the same thing, then getting frustrated at my lack of responses and him just going off on the phone, then apologizing, then getting irritated again and I let out a loud laugh, he is really a weird man.

There were messages from Dazai too, lots of memes, and random subjects, and also, a lot of selfies and pictures, one quirk that I really loved in Dazai was that, that man takes billion of pictures, selfies or pictures of others, of stray cats he encounters, also dogs, even though he doesn't like them, he takes them pictures and send them to me because I do think dogs are cute.

「hi, Chuu, I am alive thank you for worrying, stop freaking out, let's go for a drink when you can, xoxo」I texted Chuuya so he could stop storming my phone with messages.

Then I took a selfie putting my middle finger up and sent it to Dazai, who just responded with "♥♥♥".

I was walking towards the Agency, it was 6:30 in the morning but I figured that it would be better to get there early and see what kind of mess was in my desk, and I was right, there was a tall stack of papers on my workplace and I just let out a sigh and started to work. There were profilings I had to do, reports, Dazai's reports, and other things just scattered on the desk.

Kunikida was the first to come in, and he gave me a concerned look first but let out a sigh when I just gave him a thumbs up while pouting at the never ending amount of work. People started to come in and asked me how I was and what had happened, everyone wanted the hot gossip about how the newest member sneaked into the Port Mafia HQ and got out alive. Even the President was eavesdropping while faking getting coffee, a thing he does not drink, just to hear the hot tea.

Dazai came in two hours late and for the first time no one said anything to him since I told them how it was his grand plan that kept me alive in the Mafia's HQ. He entered and eyed everyone suspiciously, and took a seat on his desk.

"Why is no one screaming at me?" He asked me in a whisper and I just smiled at him.

"I told them how great you were with your genius plan, and that it was all because of you that I made it out safe, so you are welcome" I said not looking at him while signing some reports, and he just grabbed me by the arm and pulled me slightly at him giving me a kiss in the cheek. I blushed, I really did, it's embarrassing.

"Hey stop being cute, it's nasty!" Yosano screamed from Ranpo's desk. And Dazai giggled like a schoolgirl, I just laughed at him.

"Aw and you haven't seen the background picture on my phone! Isn't she cute?" He said standing up to them and showing them a picture, and I started to get nervous because I did not know what picture this maniac was showing the two more judgy members of the Agency, and they started to laugh.

He then came back and put his phone on his desk in display, the selfie I had sent him in the morning in the background, and I let out a breath of relief, not my best, but not my worst.

"You are mean" I whispered and he laughed.

"Let's go out on friday, we are still missing an official date" He said in response, ignoring what I had just said.

"No" I said, faking to be mad at him.

"I wasn't asking" He said, a mischievous grin on his face.

"Kunikida-san, they are being weird again!" Atsushi screamed like a brat and I threw him a ball of paper hitting him in the face, the tiger boy looked incredibly offended afterwards.
