Dazai was beaming the next day at the agency. He didn't even try to fool Kunikida by telling him some stupid (obviously fake) way of improving your health.

The said blond stared at his partner curiously, finally walking up to his desk and saying, "Ok cut it out."

Dazai looked up, seizing to hum the tune he was humming, "Something wrong?"

"I should be asking that, why the hell are you acting so different today?"

The brunet grinned, "I'm not acting Kunikida-kuuuun! I'm genuinely happy, today's a good day!"

He's totally not saying that because he slept on the same bed as his boyfriend Chuuya and received a little goodbye kiss as he left for work. No of course not.

Atsushi was also feeling a little excited that day, since he was planning on finally telling Dazai how he feels. He even bought a red camellia for the man.

The white haired boy squirmed in his chair as he waited for their lunch break.

Currently it's 12:33 pm, the ADA members are on their break, making casual chit chat with each other.

Dazai and Atsushi were both in the break room alone, Atsushi was chewing on a bite of his chazuke and Dazai was returning to their seats after opening a window since it was hot. Only then did Atsushi notice that the other man was holding a cigarette.

"Dazai-san, you smoke?" He questioned, setting down his bowl.

"Hm? Ohh no I just like holding them since they make me look cool. I have no intention of dying from lung cancer or something," Dazai replied. He was never going to tell anyone about the time when he was seventeen and smoked 7 packs of cigarettes with Chuuya in one day. He has almost completely quit now, and the redhead only smokes when the situation is far too stressful. So...progress.

Atsushi swallowed down his food and felt himself get nervous as he knew he had to confess now. He wiped his mouth and looked his mentor in the eye, "I see...D-Dazai-san, I have something to tell you."

The brunet blinked, confused by the nervous tone, "Go ahead." Atsushi took a breath and straightened his back, resting his palms on his thighs.

"I...I wanted to..to thank you. For saving me back then..I was at a pretty low place in my life and had nowhere to go, and then I ran into you and...you turned everything around. And even though I'm a little self-depreciating at times, I've improved a lot, and it's thanks to you. You've become a pretty big part of my life now and I...I found out that I..."

This is it, no going back.

"I found out that..that I have feelings..for you!" He stood up and quickly bowed down, holding up the red camellia. "S-so please accept this camellia as a token of my love! W-will you go out on a date with me?"

Dazai stared at the boy for a few seconds, "Atsushi-ku-" he started but got cut off by another voice yelling, "Like hell he will!"

Atsushi's head shot up and he was met with fierce blue eyes that belonged to a very pissed off redhead, crouching on the ledge of the window Dazai had opened earlier.

"I- What are you—?!"

Dazai stood up with a very exasperated sigh, "Chiiiibi...haven't you watched any romance dramas? This is the part where you're supposed to misread the situation and storm off with tears in your eyes. And then I'm supposed to chase after you, clear the misunderstanding and then pull you into a breathtaking kiss!" He pouted, confusing Atsushi even more.
