Beautiful lies

11

Wowwy! Two chapters in one day? (Defo not bc of my whole Ao3 issue and forgetting to post here)

Chuuya was dreading going into work. He knew exactly what day it was. a month since the training and preparations for war began, Meaning there would be a 'catch up session' at the PM with the agency and other members involved in the situation

Since Dazai was his work partner for the time being (his work partner who he had been ignoring all week) he would be stuck with him for most of the day

Chuuya sighed while doing up his shirt. He turned to his clock, checking the time
He was already late, he couldn't hold this off any longer
He couldn't call in sick either. Kouyou and Mori would know exactly what was going on and they would get someone to come drag him out of his apartment

It was no use, he was going to have to see Dazai today. He didn't have a choice

It didn't matter too much at the end of the day, it was only once. Just one kiss

It can't change everything right?

Chuuya snapped out of his thoughts and picked up his hat, leaving for work

There was no point in running around in circles all day with his head. Ignoring it was the best option (it being Dazai)

The meeting room was cramped to say the least. This was without to agency too
It made Chuuya uncomfortable

Everyone was talking to one another while Chuuya just observed the room. There was definitely a tense atmosphere, though Chuuya couldn't tell if that was just him stressing or if there really was tension

Almost everyone there had beef with at least one person from the agency.

Chuuya hurled himself out of thought when the two very large doors opened to reveal the president

While Chuuya didn't know him too well, he was still slightly terrifying. He reminded him of Mori

Mori stood up from his 'throne' at the very end of the long thin table, welcoming him and the others inside

Mori had been very particular about this, he had set out names on in front of each chair.

Chuuya grew suspicious as he showed everyone to their designated seats, scanning the room for his

After awhile of looking her found his name and thats when it hit him

Mori had sat him next to Dazai

Shit

It was far too late now, Mori was clearly in no mood to speak with him about something as silly as this

It seems that Kouyou had noticed this before Chuuya, shooting him a look of 'good luck'
A drop of sweat trickled down his forehead

He unfolded his arms and heaved himself off the wall as when Dazai walked in, finally making his appearance

It was like Chuuya had been shot right in his chest. He swiftly pulled his gaze to the ground walking towards his seat, avoiding making eye-contact

He was going to fucking kill Mori for this, though he likely hadn't meant it for all he knew

He sat down in sync with Dazai

God this was painful.

And so it begun. Mori and Fukuzawa talking about tactics and what not while everyone listened. Everyone but Chuuya

It wasn't too much of an important meeting, it was more just a catch up. Even if he wanted to concentrate he couldn't, his mind was hung up on the fact that Dazai was sat with him

His luck couldnt have been worse

Chuuya felt disoriented, he was there but he wasn't. He could hear his heart thumping loudly in his head, so loud he could hear it over the chatter from across the room

He was in pain

Half asleep, Chuuya jolted alert when he felt a small kick to his ankle. Not hard enough to hurt but hard enough to bring him back to reality

He turned to his left and was met with Dazai staring back at him, grinning

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

He glared at Dazai, keeping his voice down as much as he could so he wouldn't cause alarm to the others

Dazai was slouched lazily on the chair, one leg crossed over the other and his arm perched on the back of the chair

No response, he just grinned at Chuuya with a clear goal to annoy the shit out of him.

This was gonna be a longer meeting than Chuuya had anticipated...

The rest of the meeting came with kicks to Chuuya's knees and ankles along with Chuuya getting his hat stolen twice and his hair yanked multiple times and the occasional glare from Mori and Fukuzawa. Both men clearly on the verge of kicking the two boys out

After what felt like literal hours, Mori and Fukuzawa finally dismissed everyone so the two could discuss further matters alone

Chuuya picked himself up and stormed out of the room, getting ahead from everyone else. Dazai not far behind.

Before Chuuya could get to the lobby he was stoped by Kouyou

"Everything ok? You look stressed" she spoke quietly, careful not to let others near by hear.

Chuuya sighed avoiding eye contact

"I'm fine, Dazai was just being a dick. Seems like he forgot about what happened"

Kouyou gave him a look as Chuuya realised how glum he made that sound

"Which is a good thing! Should make things less awkwa-"

Almost as if he had jinxed it a moment before, the devil himself mad an appearance by placing his hand on Kouyou shoulder with a jolly face

"Good to see you Kouyou! Do you mind if I borrow Chuuya for one moment? Work"

Kouyou rolled her eyes back to Chuuya in a dramatic way

"Have him" she extended her hand out to Chuuya looking back at Dazai

Chuuya froze feeling betrayed

'fuck sake.' He thought to himself

Kouyou left the two swiftly to go speak with the other members of the agency to get to know them

Dazai took a step towards Chuuya and whispered in his ear

"Come with me, we cant let anyone see us"

Chuuya gave him a 'what the fuck?' Look as he was quickly dragged down a near by corridor

Once they were out of sight from anyone Chuuya yanked his hand from Dazai's and began to yell

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

Dazai turned to him confused

"What are you on about?"

Chuuya stuck his head in his hands

"god you idiot I'm talking about what happened in there, what the hell were you doing? Why are you being such a dick?"
