A Secret Date. (Story 58)

Dazai was strolling downtown in Yokohama getting his weekly shopping done, he noticed a young woman pinning colorful flyers up on street lights and around town. Once the woman finished taping up a flyer, Dazai walked over and read it. Festival this upcoming weekend the flyer read. A light bulb went off in Dazai's head, he grabbed his phone and called a certain someone.

"What is it now asshole? I'm busy." "Chuya! I'm glad you answered my call!" "You have ten seconds before I hang up." Chuya hissed on the other line, "There's going to be a festival happening this weekend in the city." "Yeah, so what?" "You know, lots of shady things happen in events like this." "Yeah, I remember we attended a New Year's festival and stopped some smuggling." "Yeah! I remember it too. So, will you attend this festival with me this weekend?" "Can't you go with your agency buddies? I'm busy." "We haven't been on a date in a long time, this festival can make up for it." Dazai teased, and Chuya eventually gave in, "Fine you jackass." "Hooray! I'll see you tomorrow then." Chuya hung up the call before Dazai could finish his sentence, "I'm looking forward to it, Chibi." He smiled to himself.

The following day, Dazai was waiting for his date to arrive. He leaned against a brick wall, behind him the festival activities were growing by the seconds. Dazai dressed up for his and Chuya's date, he wore a thick light brown coat with a dressy black shirt underneath and black pants to tie the outfit together. He pulled out his phone from his coat pocket reading the time, it was almost eleven, and Chuya hasn't shown up yet. "I wonder if he got sent out on a last-minute mission," Dazai mumbled, he remembered back in the Port Mafia, Mori made Dazai go to last-minute missions spur of the moment, and Dazai hated it. "Jeez, I didn't know you'd be here already. Usually, you are the tardy one to our dates." Dazai snapped out of his thoughts and looked in the direction where the voice came from, it was Chuya. Chuya wore a maroon red loose dressy shirt, black formal pants, his usual black choker around his neck, black elegant gloves, and his usual pork pie hat. "Wow Chuya, you look like a movie star." 

Dazai admired Chuya's outfit and features, Chuya blushed at the compliment, "Asshole. You don't look that bad either, you look nice." Dazai beamed, "Aww!!! Chuya likes my outfit! Hooray!" They walked into the festival area together, side by side. Dazai brought them delicious festival treats such as Taiyaki, Dango, and Karaage.

After their delicious treats, they made their way to a mini-game. Dazai participated in goldfish scooping and won a pet goldfish. After that Dazai and Chuya participated in a gun shooting game, Dazai won all three of their rounds, the worker gave him a small panda-bear plushie. "Here Chibi, you keep it. It's small like you, you two are peas in a pot." Dazai teased and handed Chuya his prize, Chuya took it and looked at Dazai. "Thanks, I guess." The sun went down and the moon rose, the firework show was about to begin. 

Dazai and Chuya sat down in a grassy area with not a lot of people around. It was peaceful around them both. The firework show started, and fireworks lit up the sky. Chuya rested his head on Dazai's shoulder, Dazai didn't mind at all, he smiled and put his arm around Chuya. The both of them watched the fireworks going off in the sky. Eventually, Chuya got up from Dazai's shoulder, "Dazai." Dazai looked at him and raised an eyebrow. Chuya pressed his lips against Dazai's warm pure lips, and both of them melted into a warm sweet kiss as the fireworks continued in the sky.
