Kunikidazai Oneshots

A New Family

(A/N: I'm not really sure if this counts as an AU, but feel free to look at it that way if y'all want! Also, I'm going to provide a cuteness warning because it might be needed. Now without further ado, enjoy!)

Kunikida and Dazai were currently enjoying a rare day off (rare in Kunikida's case, at least). They'd decided to head to the park so they just sat there and talked about anything and everything. Work, their personal lives, etc. They both sort of just went off on tangents, and then they settled into a comfortable silence for a bit. The great thing was that the silence rarely, if ever, felt awkward to them. What mattered was that they were spending time together.

But then there was that question Dazai had asked. "Kunikida, how would you feel about maybe adopting a kid someday?"

Kunikida looked confused. "That's a bit random, not to mention sudden."

"Not really. I've been thinking about it for awhile, and I've thought that maybe I wouldn't mind having kids," Dazai revealed.

Kunikida thought about it. "I don't know, are either of us prepared for that?"

Dazai shrugged. "We probably could be with a little work."

"That's true," Kunikida agreed.

"So would you want to adopt a kid someday?" Dazai asked.

Kunikida thought about it, and he seemed a bit uncertain.

"What's with the worried look?" Dazai wanted to know.

Kunikida looked at Dazai. "What if...I'm not at all prepared for it?"

Dazai tilted his head. "What do you mean?"

"What if I'm not a good parent?" Kunikida wondered.

Dazai gasped in horror. "That's nonsense. Of course you would be!"

"You really think so?" Kunikida asked.

Dazai smiled. "I know so."

Kunikida smiled back a little. "Thanks, Dazai."

"You're welcome," Dazai replied, slipping his hand into Kunikida's.

"Aside from worrying that I'm not at all suited for being a parent...I'm not opposed to the idea," Kunikida confessed.

"Really?" Dazai asked.

Kunikida nodded.

Dazai grinned. "That's cool, we're relatively on the same page."

"I guess we are," Kunikida agreed.

"Don't worry, I'm not saying we have to adopt anyone right this minute. I was just wondering if you'd be open to the idea in the future," Dazai assured him.

"And now you know I am," Kunikida announced.

Dazai smiled. "Cool."

Kunikida smiled back.

After awhile, Dazai and Kunikida decided to head back home. While they were walking, Dazai noticed a small child slightly off in the distance. He squinted, trying to see if he knew them.

Kunikida glanced at Dazai. "See something?"

Dazai nodded. "There's a kid out there."

Kunikida looked in the direction Dazai was. His eyes widened a bit.

Dazai noticed. "Do you know them?"

Kunikida squinted. "Is that who I think it is...?"

Dazai was confused.

The child seemed to have noticed Dazai and Kunikida and began to head over.

Dazai grew more and more confused. This child knew him and Kunikida?
