nakahara osamu is fancier than dazai osamu

A/N: Sequel to 'dazai chuuya is cuter than nakahara chuuya' (part 33, I think)

"So, it appears that we'll be joined by Dazai-san and the Agency's weretiger for today's mission."

Heart behaving funnily- a clear sign of developing heart problems-, Chuuya stared at the person in front of him, who had just uttered such horrendous words. The speaker of the words, a blonde mafioso named Higuchi Ichiyo, flinched in recoil, having received nasty stares for all her fellow mafiosos.

Akutagawa, the older of the siblings, stared down his subordinate, "What did you say?"

Fingers twitching in nervousness, Higuchi repeated, "Um. Today's meeting is for a future joint mission. So, Dazai-san and Atsushi-kun will be joining us today."

Her boss spoke again, punctuated with a cough, "So, the jinko is coming over. But more importantly, Dazai-san is going to be hear soon?"

The Black Lizard's Tachihara strolled up to his seat in the meeting room at that instant. With a flick of his hand, he said, "You heard her already. The guards contacted me too; they are here."

While his subordinates tittered in mixed emotions of annoyance and anticipation, Chuuya just stared at the clean wall in front of him. So, his rival was going to be joining a Mafia meeting with him. His rival, who happened to be his former partner in the Mafia. That was certainly... Interesting, to say the least.

Chuuya wasn't concerned at all. It's not like his stomach was in knots at the mere idea of shitty Dazai sitting next to him in a Port Mafia meeting again, in one of the many meeting rooms in the Mafia building. Chuuya was fine. Completely unbothered. Couldn't care less.

He was perfectly fine, which is why his reaction to Dazai entering the room was the most curious. Within minutes, the door to the meeting room swung open, only to reveal the mafia's former executive, followed by his new protégé, and a raven haired woman- the Agency's doctor, Yosano, as Chuuya recognised immediately.

As for the current executive's reaction; he jumped- flew off- his seat as soon as he caught a glimpse of his rival, his coat dropping to his chair behind him. If he wasn't dressed in a formal suit, it wouldn't be too difficult to mistake him for a schoolgirl who's just been told that her crush planned to give her Valentine's Day chocolates in the upcoming several minutes.

Higuchi spoke as soon as she saw the newcomers, "Ah, so everyone is here. Um, welcome!"

Sure enough, all the required attendants of the meeting were present already. From the Mafia side, there were the two Akutagawa siblings, the younger one's partner in Black Lizard, Tachihara, along with Higuchi and Chuuya. From the Agency side, as aforementioned, Dazai and Atsushi were present, along with Yosano.

The Agency's weretiger strolled past Chuuya to nervously take his seat next to the Black Lizard duo, followed by his mentor, who waltzed to the seat adjacent to Chuuya's and sat down. As the doctor walked past Chuuya to take the other adjacent seat to his, he spoke to her, "Yosano-san. Were you supposed to be here?"

She whispered right back, "Ah hello, Dazai-san. No, I wasn't. But you see, the other Dazai is behaving a little strange today, so it was deemed best that I accompany him."

The executive hissed at her, "Yosano-san! Don't call me that here!"

The doctor was clearly the same kind as his partner, because she just smirked slyly, "But isn't that your name?"

Chuuya rolled his eyes, voice still low, "Shut up. Also, what do you mean the bastard is acting strange?"

Yosano just brushed him off, "Eh, you'll see what I mean soon enough."
