After Death - Soulmate AU! Timer

 Soulmate AU where the timer on your wrist reaches 0 is when you meet your soulmate.

You sat inside the cafe waiting for your boyfriend drinking a french vanilla as your phone vibrated. It was from your boyfriend, (r/b/n) and you sighed as your presumed "boyfriend" stood you up. Again. His exuse this time was that he needed to cover an extra shift at work and his boss had asked him last minute.

You had decided to try dating since your timer showed that you won't be meeting your soulmate for another 10 years. Your current boyfriend had also not met with their soulmate yet so you two tried to hit it off. However, you're thinking about breaking up with him. You two had been dating for 3 months and you've only been on two official dates. It's not like you didn't want to spend time with him. It's just that he always seems to have something to do last minute. You'll tell him at school tomorrow.

~~~

You wake up to your alarm and look at your calendar for today. You only had one morning class but in big bold letters were the words, "MAKE (R/B/N) BITCHLESS TODAY." Right. He's going to become bitchless today. You put on whatever you saw first in your closet, ate breakfast, brushed your teeth and hair, and left your house feeling confident. On the way to school, you met up with (b/f/n).

"Y/N!"

"Hey! Guess what. "

"Mmh... You're finally gonna break up with that jerk?"

You stared at her before smiling. "Yup! How'd you know?"

"Girl, I know everything," she smiled while waving her fingers in front of her face.

You two talk about random things until you reached the school. You had already asked r/b/n to meet up with you at lunch. Honestly, he probably wouldn't even care that you broke up with him. Might be a little mad that he wasn't the one to end things though. You breezed through your morning classes and before you realized, it was lunch. R/b/n probably forgot about your request so you quickly rushed to his class just in time to see him about to leave with his friends.

"Y/n. Right. What'd you want to talk about? My friends are waiting for me." Just as you suspected, he had forgotten.

"Okay. Fine. I'll make this quick." You breathed in. "I'm breaking up with you."

His bored face quickly turned into a confused one. "What? Why?"

"I just don't think this is working out." you said and went to join b/f/n for lunch.

~1 year later~

College was done, it was summer, and you were having fun. So WHY THE FUCK was someone following you? You had decided to go to a party that b/f/n's soulmate was hosting and it was great until someone spilled their drink on you. You decided to go home after that and halfway home, you realized that someone was following you. It was 1 am so there were barely anyone on the streets and that person JUST WON'T STOP FOLLOWING YOU. You started speedwalking and turning unnecessary corners but it became clear that the person behind you was, indeed, a stalker. So you did the first thing that came to your mind. You ran.

 And you know what happened? You ran onto the road and got hit by a car. I know. Stupid.

You were fine with death. You acknowledged it as something that was inevitable but your timer  was still a few years away from hitting 0. How was it possible that you died before you met your soulmate? Unless you didn't die? 

You opened your eyes.

"Nope. Nevermind. Definitely dead." In front of you was a skeleton. Not just bones, but a moving body of bones. Like those things from Minecraft. And behind that skeleton was a huge gate. Not knowing what you do, you went up to the skeleton.

"Um... Hi?" You said quietly.

"You must be new. Please grab a number and come back when your number is called," it clattered. You did as you were told but your eyes widened as you read the number. 3214. 

"Number 364?" The skeleton yelled. A hysterical woman ran to the front.

"Y-yes! Yes! That's me! I've been waiting forever! Finally!"

You froze as you realize what was happening. You would have to wait a very long time until your number was called.

"Number 682?" It's been a year.

"1352?" 2 years.

"1690..." 3 years...

"1905." 4 years.

"2184." 5 years

"2433." 7 years

"2937." 8 1/2 years

"3210." 9 years

"3211...... 3212......3213.....3214?"

"3214?"

"Where is 3214?"

You shot out of your seat and rushed to the gate owner, showing it your ticket.

 It nodded and the gate slowly opened. Before you could even step through, someone grabbed you and pulled you through. At that exact time, your head started ringing and your wrist started tingling. You glance at your wrist and notice that your timer had reached 0. You had forgotten that the timer still existed. Does that mean your soulmate was dead?

You looked forward, wondering who your soulmate was, only to stare into hazel-colored eyes. You gasped as you recognize who he was. 

He was Dazai Osamu, the famous detective who was known for his skills, young age, and, especially, his looks. The one who committed suicide around the time you had started college.

"Hello, soulmate. It is unfortunate that we met like this," he said, smiling.

"Huh...? Oh. Um.. Yes?" You weren't sure what to say. After all, you were dead. You met THE Dazai Osamu. You met your soulmate. Your soulmate is Dazai Osamu. That's a lot to take in.

"If we had met when we were alive, we could've committed double suicide together but alas, I didn't want to live for another 10 years so I do apologize for not waiting for you," he said, grabbing your hands. You blinked. Right. He was a suicide freak. But you were both dead now and he can't kill himself anymore so you have nothing to worry about.

"Yes. Um... Anyways, I'm Y/n. It's nice to finally meet my soulmate."

A/n - I'm sorry, this is my first story and I have a tendency to drag things on so that's why there are barely any interactions between Reader and Dazai 😞 I'm also not very creative... BUT I HOPE YOU ENJOYED :D
