A fool in Love. (Story 12)

Valentines Day Speical! Happy Valentine's day yall! 

"Well Kunkida, do you have plans on this lovely day?" Dazai teased his Agency friend, Atsushi and Kenji eavesdropping in. "Nope, not on my agenda today. Valentine's is just a normal day for me, it's unnecessary to celebrate this stupid holiday. What about you two?" Kunkida pointed at Atsushi and Kenji, they both got flustered that they got exposed. "Eh, for me nothing." "I'm going out to buy flowers for myself!" Kenji's eyes sparkled. "What about you Dazai? What are you doing?" Kunkida, Atsushi, and Kenji all looked at their friend. "I'm going to meet a sexy lady tonight at a bar." Dazai winked, "What!? How did you manage to get yourself a date?!" "My charms Kunkida, you should seriously take some notes." Kunkida snapped his pen in half and leaned over to Dazai's desk, "Like I need to take notes from a crazy guy like you-" "I need to text my lovely lady details for tonight." Dazai held up his cell phone in front of Kunkida's face, making him angry.

"You won't get away with this! The Port Mafia will crumble-" Chuya stepped on his neck murdering the suspect. "Shut the hell up, seriously." "Sir, the enemies have been taken out." Akutagawa coughed walking up to Chuya. Before Chuya could respond his phone vibrated in his coat pocket, he picked it up reading a text from an unknown number; 'Cupid says, meet me at lupins tonight 💗'. Chuya raised an eyebrow and then stuffed his phone back in his pocket. "Is everything alright sir?" "Yeah, let's head back." The two of them walked away from the scene and headed to the Mafia's building. 

The sun started to set behind Yokohama, the sky turned into a pastel pink mixed with some pastel orange. "Have fun on your date Dazai!" Kenji and Atsushi waved to him as he left the office, Kunkida snapped another pen. Dazai headed to Lupins to meet his Valentine's date. When he arrived he ordered two shots of Whiskey, the bartender gave Dazai his order, Whiskey in a small shot glass with a single round ice cube in the cup. He even put two white flowers on the inside of each cup. The door busted open, and Chuya walked into the bar seeing Dazai. "Dazai? Is this some sort of joke?" Dazai smiled and signaled for Chuya to come to sit. "Nope! Surprise you are my Valentine!" Dazai's smile widen and his eyes sparkled, "Youve got to be joking." "Nope." Chuya gave in and sat down next to him.

"So, what job did Mori have you do today?" Dazai leaned his face on his hand, and the two of them started talking about Mori and making fun of him. After a few rounds of Whiskey and beer, the two were tipsy. "Chibi, we should dance together! Like we did in the Mafia!" "What? You dumbass we never danced are you stupid?" Chuya said taking another sip of his Whiskey. "Come on! Please?" Dazai held his hand out with tipsy, begging eyes. "Fine you, dumbass." Chuya took his hand, and Dazai led them to an empty space in the bar. A classic piano song started to play, and Dazai swayed Chuya side to side. They were both unstable on their feet but managed, when Dazai stepped on Chuya's foot they both laughed it off, their breath the scent of consumed alcohol. 

When the song ended they both ended up falling, they looked at each other and burst into laughter. "Chibi! You are a superstar! Why didn't you become a professional dancer?! We could have tangoed together!" Chuya laughed looking at his tipsy partner, "Because I meant you asshole, and got sucked into the Port Mafia, scrubbing Mori's smelly ass feet." The both of them were on the floor just laughing at each other. After a few minutes of them slurring words and laughing, Dazai helped Chuya up. "Chibi! I have a great idea." "Okay? What is it now?" "Just follow me!" Dazai winked taking Chuyas's hand and guiding him out of Lupins. 

The two of them walked on the sidewalks of Yokohama. The cold air blew in their hair, and both of their coats were blowing behind them. They arrived at Yokohama's bridge they stopped at the ledge and admired the scenery. "I do love this city, ill do anything to protect it," Chuya said, his eyes focused on the stars in the sky. "Me too Chibi." Chuya pulled out a box of cigarettes, he offered one to Dazai, he accepted Chuya lit his first then lit Dazai's for him. The both of them were quiet, their cigarettes 'sizzling' was the only sound that could be heard. Dazai blew his smoke into the dark blue starry sky, "Chuya, would you ever leave the Mafia?" Chuya looked up at his partner raising an eyebrow, he took the cigarette out of his mouth blowing smoke, "Is this drunk Dazai asking or sober Dazai asking?" "Half drunk half sober." Dazai teased. "Hmm, then maybe one day, when I feel like I accomplished everything I need to. I'll retire and just enjoy whatever time I have left." Dazai listened to Chuya go on another rant about Mori and the other members of the Mafia, he could tell Chuya was still tipsy.

Above them, snow started to fall lightly, Chuya stopped mid-way through his sentence and looked up to see the snow, and Dazai looked up also noticing. "Snow reminds me of our one battle in the Mafia. The Christmas fight, it was me you, and we took down an organization." "Oh yeah, I remember that." Dazai finished his cigarette, he stepped on his too, and Chuya stepped on his. "Dazai, why did you ask me to come to meet you tonight?" "Well, I wanted to catch up with you, and it's Valentine's day." Chuya looked at Dazai, and a chuckle escaped his lips, "Is this drunk Dazai talking or sober?" Dazai pulled Chuya into his embrace, his fingers under his chin. "Sober." Dazai pressed his lips onto Chuya's, and both of them melted into each other's alcohol-tobacco lips and touch.

"Good morning." Kunkida walked in setting his bag down on the floor and taking a seat at his desk. "Good morning," Atsushi whispered, Kunkida raised an eyebrow and looked at Dazai's desk. Dazai was passed out and snoring. "Jesus, he must have had a good date." Dazai woke up letting out a grunt and stretching. "I really really don't feel like working today, I have the biggest headache right now." He groaned out in pain. "Dazai. Are you hung over!?" "Dazai, are you going on a second date with the girl!?" Dazai chuckled, "Hell yeah, we are going to another bar tomorrow."
