Dazai Oneshots ✔️

Sea breeze (Merman Dazai)

The Sun was setting as you walked along the beach, the waves crashing against the sand underneath your feet, the cold ocean breeze blowing against your face and that soft melody that you chalked up to being the ocean sounds. There was a rumor going around in the local area about a yokai sitting on the edge of rocks singing you to your death. You weren't the type to believe such a thing, but you were slightly on edge. The setting sun put an orange-yellow hue on the ocean and sand, your eyes drifting from staring at the distant sandy path that leads to the parking lot to the distant rocks. Your eyes widen at a man leaning on the rocks staring right at you. Your breath hitched in your throat as you made eye contact with dark chocolate eyes that belonged to the strange-looking man. The man was covered in bandages. He had dark hazelnut hair that was a tinge not kept well. As it was dripping with water his dark chocolate eyes shone. The man smirked at you. You were taken aback by this strange man. He was most likely just some random guy that was likely crazy.

"Do you need help?!" You yelled over to him.

"Come over here! I think my foot's stuck under some rocks!" He yelled back.

God. Maybe it was something you drank or ate, but he sounded compelling. Without another thought in your head, you walked towards the ocean. Your feet hit the cold freezing seawater and snapped you out of your trace.

"Should I call an ambulance for you? I don't think I can get the rocks off your foot without some help," I offered him as I stood at the shores.

"No, no, that won't be necessary. I just need you to come a little closer." He eerily said.

"What? Why?"

"Is it so wrong for me to wish to see your beauty up close?"

"So you faked an injury just to get me to come to you?"

"Maybe~" He grinned at you, moving to hide his lower half behind the rock.

"You must be one annoying person to be around," I sighed, turning to walk around.

"Won't you stay and enjoy the sunset with me?"

I turned around yet again and began to walk toward him. His eyes glimmered with mischief. I was an arm's length away when he pulled me towards him, trapping me in his tight embrace.

"Hey-!"

He held me tightly, singing softly under his breath as he studied my face.

"I won't hurt you. Stay for a while." He pleaded softly, our faces only a few inches apart.

"You could have just asked nicely and properly. Let me go," I angrily replied.

"Promise you won't run? I wouldn't want you to get hurt." he narrowed his eyes at me. A dark glint in his eyes. There was no mistaking the malice behind that fake concern.

"Yeah, yeah," I said with slight distrust because of his previous fake concern.

You stepped back when you saw what was under the water. Instead of human legs, you saw a long light blue fishtail with bandages warped around it.

"Y-you're that yokai that the locals have been talking about!" I shakingly said.

He narrowed his eyes at me, "I am. Don't make me regret sparing you," Venom dripped from his voice.

I sucked in a breath calming myself down.

"We're just going to watch the sunset, right?"

"No, course not. I'll drown you and eat you," Dazai joked.

"Ha-ha," I sarcastically replied back.

He smirked before holding his hand out.

"Take my hand. I'll hoist you up on the rock."
