(Osamu Dazai x Reader) The Choice....(COMPLETED)

A Sudden Change...

-(The Next Day)-

-(Port Mafia Base)-

(3rd Person POV)

"AGAIN! YOU'RE TOO SLOW! THE ENEMY WON'T WAIT FOR YOU TO GET BACK ON YOUR FEET!" 

Akutagawa slowly stood up, wiping the sweat and blood from his face. This was no different from any other training he did with Dazai, constantly getting beat up and knocked to the ground.

"Done already?"

"N-No.." Akutagawa groaned, as he stood up glaring at Dazai.

"Good," then in the blink of an eye Dazai punched him as Akutagawa tried to dodge, but was too slow. Dazai then kicked him in the guts, brining him down to the ground with a loud THUD. But as that happened, something flew out of Akutagawa's pocket and near Dazai.

"Hm what's this?" Dazai knelt down and picked up the object, his eyes opened wide as he looked at it closely...

"Dazai-san-,"

"Where did you get this?" 

"Huh?" 

"Where did you get this, Akutagawa?" Dazai asked, waving the I.D card in the air. Akutagawa' s eyes widened, as he slowly stood up.

"I...I met her....a few days ago."

"Did she do anything to you?" Akutagawa noticed something about Dazai's eyes changed when he asked that..

Akutagawa glanced at his hand, as he remebered what had happened a few days ago. "No, she was just being nosy and bugging me. Thinking I was in pain." As Akutagawa looked up at his mentor however...

A smile appeared on his face....as he looked down at girls I.D...

A smile Akutagawa...has never seen before...

"Hm....I see."

"Dazai-san?"

"I'm hanging on to this, if you don't mind of course."

"N-No I don't-,"

"Good, training is over for the day." Dazai waved his hand at Akutagawa, as he started making his way towards the exit.

"U-Understood..." then just like that, Akutagawa was alone.

-(Time Skip)-

"Hm? Something wrong with Dazai?" Chuuya asked, taking another bite of his sandwich.

"....he seems so...different." Akutagawa thought back to the smile he saw on Dazai's face. 

Since the day he met Dazai, Akutagawa had never seen Dazai smile like that. His only memories of him were his glares and looks of pure evil as he killed and tormented his enemy's..

"Right now, you're weak. If you plan on depending on that skill of yours...you'll need to make it stronger."

Akutagawa had always lived by those words, and always trained and fought to improve his skill. Dazai had never once in his life praised him for it...for all the work he's done..

Never once showed him pity or cared when he was in pain during training. Never batting an eye as bruises and injuries were placed upon him..

"I mean...I don't think you're wrong." Chuuya replied, as he placed his sandwich down on the table in front of him. 

Akutagawa glanced at him, "What...what do you think changed about him Chuuya-san?" He asked. Chuuya looked up at the ceiling, placing his thumb on his lips as he tried to think of an answer.

"It's almost like he....understands. What it's like to feel something."

Akutagawa blinked once...twice...three times...

"Huh?" Chuuya glanced at Akutagawa's blank expression, and thought on how to explain it to him.

"Akutagawa, describe Dazai to me. What do you see in him?"

"Cold...dark....a man who knows what has to be done and does it....a man who doesn't express care towards things..."

"Okay, then after you saw him smile then. What did you see in him after that?" Akutagawa thought back to that very moment.

"Bright....Joyful....as if...he'd just witnessed the greatest thing in the world...as if he had something special with him that no one had...." 

"Mhm," Chuuya took a sip from his soda before continuing, "you say you know of him as the dark and coldhearted person he has been for the past few years. But...," Chuuya stopped himself. Because he knew the reason as to why Dazai was different...couldn't be said to others..

The reason Dazai seemed more alive...the reason he seemed different..

Was because of one woman...he had literally just met...

A woman...who he shouldn't even be with right now..

But still through it all...he wants to protect her...to stay with her...to make sure that (Y/N) still could live her life without worry...

"...But you see Akutagawa, some people change when they realize things matter. You know, I guess Dazai just...found something important." 

"Ah...." but that's when Akutagawa realized, Dazai only smiled when he saw the I.D of that girl...

"Well, I'm off. You take care Akutagawa!" Chuuya grinned as he grabbed his drink and trash from his lunch, leaving the room. Akutagawa watched him go until he was finally gone, he stood up and started pacing around the room.

A woman...

So Dazai-san had known this woman? 

But how, and for what purpose? 

"I have no need to care...for anyone."

If that's the case...then why did he smile like he did when he glanced at her? Akutagawa glanced out at the window, the city of Yokohama busy and full of citizens. His mind now full of thoughts and wonders as to how and why Dazai cared about her...

"Just who are you...(Y/N) (L/N)?"
