his Diablo | sequel

Chapter Three

Atsushi

I woke up to the smell of coffee and an empty space next to me. It felt weird, the bed being so comfortable and warm. And it felt natural.

I could remember the orphanage beds, the frames made out of wire and were razor sharp that cut you. If you even complained you had the problem sorted, no more bed.

I sighed in happy delight at the fact I was in a bed that didn't cut me and not on a cold floor. I sat up groggily, my mind still trying to get ready.

I rubbed my eyes, stretching my limbs and hearing the clicks all around. I stood up and walked into the kitchen to see Ryunosuke busy making coffee. Months ago he would've seemed out of place in such casual attire while making coffee. Now it just felt right. I wrapped my arms around his waist and pressed my cheek against his soft back.

"Morning, Jinko." He said gently.

"Good morning my diablo." I teased softly and moved my head to kiss his cheek. I could feel a soft chuckle leave his lips after I said it.

He moved around in my arms to face me and gently pressed his lips against mine. I could taste the bitter coffee on his lips as he moved them. His hands holding onto my waist, pulling me closer to him.

I pulled away and gave him a gentle kiss on the nose.

(A/n: Ngl these two are so wholesome ❤️❤️❤️)

"Want some coffee?" He asked, his lips against my forehead. I shook my head and kissed him again. I checked the time and smiled.

"I have to go to work soon. I'll buy one on the way." I said before giving him another kiss, he returned it and nodded.

"I have no work today, so I'll be cleaning the place. I'll even make you a lunch if you want. I'll swing by and bring it to you." I felt my cheeks heat up and nodded. I couldn't help but imagine what'd he make me for lunch- tuna sandwiches of some sort? I couldn't help but smile at him.

"That would be great, thank you." I ran off to get dressed into my work attire. I had run a quick shower first obviously, but I couldn't have the luxury of a long one. I had probably tripped several times as I tried to pull my pants on. But in general it was a great morning.

"I love you Jinko." He called out to me as I got out of the room. I smiled and blew a kiss to him.

"I love you too, Diablo."

Arriving at the agency, as serious as ever had become the norm. I grimaced at all the serious faces, even at Dazai-san who actually started doing his work. Since he didn't want to feel useless.

"Ah hello sushi." Dazai-san smiled and waved as I walked in. I gave a small smile and gentle wave back. I took my seat next to him and looked at the papers he worked on, taking on some odd cases it seemed.

"Don't bother asking, he'll just be mischievous." I looked with wide eyes at Kunikida-san, who already knew I was going to ask Dazai-san what on earth he was doing.

I nodded and went back to work. The minutes rolled by and I looked up to see Ranpo-san running a hand through his hair. I glanced again. It seemed he was tidying up his hair. I opened my mouth but kept it shut, not wanting to intrude in his moment.

Yasano on the other hand.

"Getting ready for a date?" She asked with a tiny grin.

"What on this big earth made you think that?" Ranpo looked to Yasano in question. This made it the more obvious that he was getting ready to go out somewhere.

"I'm wondering if it's Poe." Kyouka asked.

Ranpo didn't allow anything to give him away, as if this was a touchy subject he didn't want to talk about, at all.

"I do recall that Poe comes in everyday around about 10 am, so it'll be a few hours before we could ask him ourselves." Noami said, yawning since we did start work early.

"10:05 to be exact." Kunikida-san said, checking the schedule.

Ranpo-san kept a poker face as it was all discussed and Dazai-san kept abnormally quiet.

"I don't think we should overwhelm the poor guy." I spoke up and almost everyone nodded.

"So, Atsushi, you ask him." Naomi voted and I looked at her with wide eyes.

"What-!?" Everyone agreed and sacrificed me to make the poor guy uncomfortable.
