Soukoku Mini Stories

It started at the train Station. (Story 20)

Dazai & Chuya are strangers at the beginning of this writing! 🙂

The sun was shining down brightly in Yokohama, "Train number 467 is coming onto platform three." Chuya looked at his phone, he was in the right lane. The train stopped before him unloading people and loading people on board. The train was crowded with many people, Chuya saw his only available 'seat' was a straphanger, Chuya grabbed onto the straphanger. Next to him, Osamu Dazai grabbed the remaining straphanger next to Chuya. Chuya noticed the man next to him and quickly took a photo from the side, trying not to be obvious about it.

Verlaine: Good luck on your first day Chuya 👍

Chuya: I found my crush. *Imagine attached*

Verlaine: That was fast. Who?

Chuya: Find anyone that looks like him and set me up on a blind date. You owe me.

Verlaine: Okay.

Dazai noticed the short ginger male taking his photo, he scoffed in annoyance. Dazai glanced back at the ginger male, he wore a grey jacket, and a red maroon shirt and his eyes were blue like the Atlantic Ocean. Dazai snapped out of his train of thought and looked out the window. "Train number 467 is coming onto platform five. Please grab your personal items." Chuya gripped his phone looking forward to his new job. Chuya got off the train heading to the building of his new job. Dazai watched the boy get off the train, he let a sigh escape his lips.

Eventually, he got off the train, he looked at his phone having thirty minutes to spare. He decided to go to a cafe. "Uh, can I get a flat white with one expresso shot and steamed milk?" "Of course, will that be all sir?" "I'll take the apple too." Dazai grabbed the Honeycrisp apple out of the basket. "Got it. That will be a total of 20 yen sir." Dazai paid for his stuff taking a bite out of his apple. He grabbed his coffee and sat in the back of the cafe, his mind was thinking about the ginger boy on the train. The thought of that guy made Dazai's heart and stomach flutter. Even his cheeks were flustered at the thought of him. Dazai finished his business at the cafe heading to his building for work.

He arrived and was greeted by one of his co-workers that can tolerate Dazai. Dazai sat at his desk signing into his computer getting ready for the work day till he was interrupted. "Dazai. May I see you in my office please?" The boss stood in the hallway, and all the co-worker's eyes were on Dazai as he got up making his way to the bosses office. "Is he gonna work with the new guy?" "What a shame, the new guy doesn't deserve to work with a freak." "The new guy is cute!" "Girl! Get his number later!" The boss's servant opened the office door for Dazai, "Ah, welcome Dazai. This is Chuya Nakahara, he is a new colleague." Dazais eyes widen seeing him, it was the same guy from the train. "Nice to meet you. I'm Osamu Dazai."

Chuyas eyes widen seeing him, "Nice to meet you." His cheeks became flustered. "Great, you two start professional projects tomorrow. I'm having Annabelle give Chuya a tour of the building for today. Dismissed Dazai." Dazai bowed and left the office, "I can't believe this. Lady luck is on my side today." He murmured under his breath taking a seat at his desk.

The sun was setting in Yokohama, the workers were packing their belongings up and leaving the office for the day. Dazai was waiting for his new colleague. "And this will be your desk, next to Osamu Dazai." The lady presented Chuya's new work area, "This is cool. Thank you for the tour." "You're welcome, I'm happy to help." She bowed and left the room, "Chuya Nakahara was it?" Dazai got up from his desk looking at his new colleague, "Yeah." "You're a shortie for your age" Chuya was caught off guard, "What? You jerk, are we gonna have a problem? I should go change my-" "No need! We won't have a problem! Let me treat you to some drinks tonight in honor of your first day at this hellhole. Whatcha say?" Chuya blushed at the request, "Sure, as long as you pay."

Dazai smiled and led Chuya to the elevator, he put his arm around Chuya and went on rambling about the boss. They both made it to a local bar, the place was empty. "Let's toast to you." Dazai raised his beer, Chuya raised his wine glass, and they both toasted on Chuya's first day. After a couple of drinks, both of them were drunk. "Chuya it is getting late, let me take you home." "You jackass, you can't, you are wasted. Idiot." Dazai thought for a moment, "Right. Then stay the night at my place, I live a block away." Chuya smirked, "Wow, first you buy drinks for me and now you are inviting me to your home? I'm touched truly." He chuckled and drank his wine. Dazai smiled, "Is that a yes?" "Mhm." Chuya finished the glass and got up, "Let me use the bathroom first." 

Dazai paid for their drinks and went into the bathroom. Chuya was washing his hands, Dazai entered the bathroom looking at Chuya in the mirror reflection, "You gotta take a piss too?-" He was cut off by Dazai pressing his lips onto Chuya's lips. Both of them melted into the kiss, their intoxicated lips against each other. Dazai walked out of the bathroom with Chuya, his arm around Chuya, He took him to his apartment for the night.

"Chuya, wake up. We gotta get to work." Dazai traced Chuyas's arm, both of them were sleeping on Dazai's bed. Chuya eventually woke up letting a yawn escape his mouth. "What time is it?" "Eight. We gotta be at work by ten. Feel free to use my shower." Chuya stretched and grabbed onto Dazai's waist. "I'd rather stay with you till we gotta get ready." Chuya smiled closing his eyes again drifting off to sleep. Dazai blushed and covered his own mouth, his heart was beating out of his chest.
