Psychokinesis (Dazai x Reader)

Chapter 18: Rest

Dazai: Kunikida-kun, can I ask you something?

Kunikida: Dazai..

Dazai: hm?

Kunikida: Are you feeling sick?

Dazai: No, I don't think so. Why do you ask?

Kunikida: It's the first time I heard you request permission to ask me something. Usually, you just inquire about silly things or worse, those unrelated to work.

Dazai: Pff, what an overthinker! I just wanted to know about something, jeez. Kunikida-kuun. I'm going out for lunch!

Kunikida: hah? You just went to work! It's not even lunch time yet. Oy, Dazai! Get back here!

...

Kunikida: It's the first time he was bad at hiding something. Something's clearly bothering him.

Y/N'S POV

I can't believe it. I wasn't even drunk! Oh, I'm so embarrassed and still slightly emotional. I didn't think he'd actually fulfill his promise and stay by my side. An hour ago, after waking up to the sunlight passing through the window, I saw Dazai with his upper body rested on the edge of the bed; sleeping uncomfortably while I slept like a baby last night after crying my eyes out. I couldn't believe my eyes so I rubbed them and blinked multiple times but still, he was there. Just like he told me would.

...

He greeted me good morning, waking up seconds after I did and  smiled at me as if he didn't just spend the night nursing and watching over me.

Dazai: did you get a good sleep?

"Yes I did but what about you? Don't you wanna lie down for a bit, I could get up and leave-

Dazai: shh, don't worry about me. I'm glad you slept well.

Is he really the Dazai that everyone's describing him as? The cynical egoist who sees good and evil as equal? the mafia executive at age 15? He may be all that but right now, he's just someone who looks cute with messy hair and slept beside me when I was scared.

Dazai: I'm going to work now, you know how Kunikida gets when I arrive even a bit late. It's funny but  maybe I'll annoy him next week.

Great, he scheduled it.

"Alright. Thanks, Dazai. I can't thank you enough"

Dazai didn't say anything, he smiled and closed the door behind him after leaving the room he usually sleeps in. I looked around and I noticed a glass of water and a plate with bread on the night stand. Did he prepare this for me? If I eat this, will I die?

Those two thoughts, no matter how different from each other they may be were the two things I could think of. He's a sweet guy but my bloody training in the Port Mafia taught me to never trust that easily. I didn't think it would also apply to the people I worked with.

...

Dazai: Atsushi-kuuun

Atsushi: oh! Hello, Dazai-san.

Dazai: Are you on your way to the President's office?

Atsushi: Yes, Ranpo asked me to give him these documents. What about you, Dazai-san?

Dazai: Oh I was planning on bailing on work.

Atsushi: To?

Dazai: To watch a movie, of course!

Atsushi: Dazai-san, don't do that!

Dazai: Wait, is that the file of Y/N?.. Why did Ranpo have that?

Atsushi: I didn't really ask him about it, should I?

Dazai: You know what, Atsushi-kun. You must be feeling tired! Let me take that off your hands and why don't you rest a bit, hm?

Atsushi: hah? Work started an hour ago. I don't feel ti-

Dazai: Come on, I'll take it to the president. No worrieeees!

...

Atsushi: okay, here you go. But just to be clear, I'm not tired at all!

Dazai: got it, got it. Get some rest, Atsushi-kuuun!

Atsushi: I just said I'm not tired, why would I r-... aand he's gone.

...

Dazai: Y/N'S background, profile and records hm? This file indeed contains it all.
