Psychokinesis (Dazai x Reader)

Chapter 19: File

Y/N'S POV

I folded the blankets and arranged the pillows Yosano-san lent me. They were cute and fuzzy though the bright pink color bothered me a bit. Still, I was in no position to complain. I walked over to the bathroom to get ready for another day, not changing my routine despite the fact that I'm jobless. 

After taking a slightly long bath, I stepped into the main office where everyone seems to gather from time to time. I looked around and Dazai wasn't present, it's not like I'm expecting to constantly run into him, right?

"So uh, what am I going to do now?" I sat near Atsushi and asked him something that's been on my mind the minute I got here. 

Atsushi: Well, the president ordered us to look after you while you recover. He didn't say much after that though!

"Oh, I see. I'm like a huge freeloader in the agency then, It's a bit embarrassing" I shyly replied. There wasn't a day where I could hang back and relax at the mafia so having a whole day just to rest seems a bit surreal to me. 

Atsushi: What do you mean? It's not embarrassing at all. Plus, it's fun to chat every now and then, right? 

He chuckled. What a happy-go-lucky guy, he's not even asking anything personal about me; A total stranger from the Port Mafia. 

Atsushi: But the president must've brought you here for a reason, did you ever think about working here?

...

"Work here?" I asked with an expression painted on my face that clearly indicates that I was surprised he would even suggest that. The things I did in my last job is nowhere near the work they do here, it's like betraying everything I used to stand for. 

Atsushi: Your ability is amazing, a few training sessions with Dazai-san and you'd be unbeatable in a physical battle!

Training sessions with Dazai? I almost showed my clear enthusiasm and excitement. I seriously need to practice being less transparent. 

"Is he your mentor?"

Atsushi: Yes! He's a great teacher, he rescued me from the dumps when I was nothing and worked hard to mold me into someone that helps people. I'm forever grateful to him. 

"That's awesome..do you know where he is right now?" 

Atsushi: He took some documents to the president's office. 

I thanked Atsushi who smiled the entire time we talked. If I do start to work here, is it possible for me to spend time with someone like him? Is it even alright to develop these kind of feelings when my life situation is on the edge of falling apart? 

These thoughts continued to consume my mind as I walk over to the office of where he  supposedly is. I knocked on the president's door and let myself in after hearing him allowing me to come in. 

"Good morning, President Fukuzawa. May I take up a little bit of your time?" 

Fukuzawa: Sure, Y/N. Is there something you'd like to talk about?

"I've been told that I would find Dazai here" 

Fukuzawa: Dazai? He has not stepped foot in this office for a while. You won't find him here. 

"Oh, is that so? I see, then. Thank you, President" I smiled and bowed and gently pulled the door to leave the room. He's not here? Where could he be? 

...

Dazai: I knew you would be hiding here..Chuuya. 

Chuuya: HAH? How did you find me? No, no. Of course you would find me, my question really is why are you here, you bastard?

Dazai: I spent the whole morning driving all the way here and that's the greeting I get? Such an arrogant guy, jeez. 

Chuuya: Answer me, you idiot. Why are you here?!

Dazai: Ouch, your voice is deafening. Listen up, I know Fyodor has unexpectedly cleared out the mafia and forced everyone to transfer locations. You and the boss are actually facing a difficult situation so you can't deny that you might need some help. 

Chuuya: Even if we needed help, there's no way I'm asking you for it. Not even if my life was on the line, got it?

...

Dazai: hmm, well. Such a shame. So I'm guessing you don't want to know about this file on my hand?

Chuuya: I couldn't care less. 

Dazai: What if I told you who this file is about?
