-Now or Never- (Soukoku x Reader)

-Partners-

-Six months later-

I feel at peace...

"Chuuya? Is that you," I ask as I look at the redhead in the distance.

I run so fast that I begin to stumble on my feet. My hand reaches out to bring him into a warm, gentle, wholesome embrace. It just barely reaches him. Just barely... My body feels heavy as the floor shatters underneath me. Glass of the thin walls of my imagination cuts my skin as I fall into a dark black void. Nothing is in sight just the voice that keeps repeating the same words.

"I don't forgive you."

Suddenly those words turn into ringing and the light hits my eyes. The endless darkness turns into nothingness. I sit up slowly as a chill hits my back. Immediately, I grab the blanket and wrap it around myself. The ringing of my phone stops for a second. After a moment, It rings once again. I reach out my arm and grab my phone. Of course, It's Mori. I click the button to answer the phone.

"Y/N! I have called you four times and you refuse to answer. I understand that you're a teenager and don't like your old man. On the other hand, I am your employer as well. Come into my office at—"

"I want cake!!! It's not fair that you can call Y/N before you give me cake," Elise says loudly. Even though she's not directly by phone I can still hear her words.

"Elise dear, Please hold on one moment. I can—"

"Whatever," She says cutting him off.

Mori sighs in a defeated tone, "Just come into my office within the next hour.."

"Alright, I guess. See you then Mori," I say.

"For the last time, Call me Dad. I am your father after all."

"Goodbye."

This man... My father. Is the absolute bane of my existence. A true monster, if you will.

"Dammit," I say as I let out an audible sigh.

I swing my legs over the edge of the bed. My feet hit the soft carpet as I stumbled out of bed. I walk to the white door not very far from my room. The doorknob clicks as my body sways inside. The mirror sits on the wall perfectly as I turn on the warm water. I proceed to strip my clothes off. I open the shower door and drench myself in the feeling of comfort.

*Thirty minutes later*

As I change my outfit I get a text from Mori.

The text reads, "Hurry up, please. You have less than thirty minutes to arrive at my office. I must assure you that this a very important meeting. "

I type out a quick, "ok." I quickly finish putting on my outfit and slide on my shoes. As I begin to drift out the door I feel oddly at peace.

*Twenty-five minutes pass*
 

I walk up to the doors of Mori's office and stare at their design—every crevice, crack, and spot. I take a deep breath in and knock on the door. Almost instantly, Kouyou opens the door gently. A small, weak smile crept upon her face. Something happened. But I cannot place my finger on it.

"Well, Come on in," she says calmly.

I walk through the double doors and I pass by Kouyou. Then, I see an unfamiliar brunette boy.

"What do you need Mori," I say quickly.

He sighs and begins to speak, "Y/N, Please meet Osamu Dazai."

I look at the boy, He seems numb yet so alive. I don't understand how one can seem so complex, especially just by looking at them.

"Now, Dazai please meet Ogai Y/N."

His brown eyes meet my E/C eyes. I then quickly look the other way and face Mori. 

"Well then, I need to discuss these matters with the both of you. Starting today I am the new boss of the Port Mafia. Isn't that right Dazai," Mori stops to wait for the boy to respond? Instead, he just shakes his head as Mori looks down at the table. "-As I was saying. I am putting you both in charge as executives. That being said, You both will be partners from now on. Unfortunately, You don't have a choice. I'm sure you both will become fast friends and develop a sense of respect for one another! You may now be excused," says Mori.

Dazai and I proceed to walk out of Mori's office. As the dark doors close, I see him look at me. 

"Hello," I say with a soft smile. 

"Hey," he responds quickly.

He's so reserved and quiet. I want to understand this boy.

"So um... Welcome to the Port Mafia," I say with an awkward laugh at the end.

He nods and continues to walk quickly. 

I sigh, "Listen. I understand that you don't know me and I don't know you. But since we are being forced to work together we might as well try to be friends."

Dazai looks up and slows down the pace he's walking at.

 He begins speaking, "Alright, I have questions for you anyways."

"Well, Why don't we go to the roof of the building and chat? I could use some fresh air," I respond. 

His body relaxes a bit as he runs a hand through his wavy, brunette hair.  

Side by side we walk together. 

Authors Note:

Sorry for the very slow updates. I've been focusing a lot on school and I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and write. I hope you're enjoying the story and preparing for some soft Dazai moments. <3

Love,
