I want to be an idle teen.

51.Affection

"The target wants to meet up at their warehouse?" Akutagawa mumbled, as they read the messages together.

'Come to the warehouse by sankeien garden, in four days at 5:40pm.'

'I'll have twenty million ready by then. Twice the price :) Hopefully that'll be enough.' 

There was still some suspicion that their target didn't exactly buy Atsushi's acting, but everything seemed to be going smoothly so far at the very least.

"I think that going alone would be foolish." Gin sighed, as she cleaned her blade. "I agree. However. I need to at least seem like I'm alone." He mumbled under his breath, as he looked at the suitcase again.

Atsushi requested a meeting with Dazai and Chuuya after him and his squad were done with their report, because he felt like he needed to talk to them about how utterly suspicious this weapon and auction was.

His team continued to conclude and settle a plan, but he didn't participate much in the discussion itself, instead, he thought of what could be behind this entire thing.

Would the classified info that was stolen from the PM headquarters and sold off to a foreign source be behind the reason why their target wanted this weapon? Did their target take anything else that they weren't aware of? And the most important question….Was Yokohama in danger?

The tiger sighed, as he buried his face in his hand, before a knock interrupted them.

Higuchi, in all her glory, came in to let him know that Chuuya and Dazai were ready to see him, eyes not paying attention to anyone but Akutagawa, who looked at her like a disgusted cat would at a human who offered them too much affection.

"I'll be right there." The boy muttered under his breath as he grabbed the phone and the suitcase, waving to the rest of the fraction, because their shift was almost done and by the time that their meeting ended, he'd probably head home with his superiors.

Being in Dazai's office was odd, in a way. His office was plain as usual, only decorated with a single picture of a man the tiger didn't recognise and the brunet himself, but much, much younger, covered in bandages, more so than now, even his eye being covered by a thin layer.

Bottles of all kinds of expensive whiskey and hardcore drinks in every possible spot, and paperwork everywhere, in the main focus a single desk, computer and a chair that the brunet seemingly loved to spin around in.

He came in and sat on the chair in front of the brunet, with Chuuya lazing around on the couch, seemingly bored.

"Missed us so much that you couldn't wait till we got home?" Dazai teased, as he leaned towards the tiger with a fond little grin, putting away a few strands of silver behind the boy's ear.

"No. I mean, I did miss you, but. I'm here for something else." He sighed, as he leaned into the touch, before bringing up the suitcase and opening it, making Chuuya raise his eyebrow at the normal looking gun.

"This is the gun that our target wanted." He explained, as he grabbed one of the bullets from the suitcase and showed it to the men.

The bullet itself was the usual shape and even material, but at the bottom, there was a clear sort of material, in which you could see blue liquid swirling around.

"That's…odd. Is that the bullet that has the nullifying ability?" Chuuya mumbled under his breath, approaching him and taking the bullet out of his hold, analysing it and bringing it up and towards the lightbulb, the blue liquid almost looking more purple in the white light.

"Yeah. I found it…weird. I think this bullet has something to do with the stolen information. It seems just so..suspicious. plus, it's way too similar to Dazai-san's ability for comfort." He sighed, leaning back into the chair and leaving the open suitcase on the brunet's desk, with the smart honey eyes trailing over each of the small little shells, narrowed and careful of every detail.

"That's indeed suspicious. We'll take one for analysis, at our lab. The rest we'll save for the meeting between you and the target." Their boss hummed, as he nodded at Chuuya, who immediately put the bullet in a safe envelope and called someone over, probably Higuchi since her position was more of a passive one in the company, meaning she dealt with the lab and general duties around the management of different specimens and tests. "We've been tracking your messages for precaution, so you don't even have to report any of those to us." Dazai smiled as he went to show them the messages, instead taking his hand as he stood up and pulled him up as well.

He stood up in turn, feeling like they should probably discuss more concerns and things about the auction, but feeling like his boss might not be in the mood for that.

"Don't mind him, the fucker's been on his tippy toes ever since you've left for the mission." Chuuya snorted, as he passed Higuchi the bag, the blonde seemingly blinking in surprise at their boss literally snuggling him.

" Chuuya! " The man whined in embarrassment and buried his face at the crook of the tiger's neck, making him flush and look at Chuuya then at their coworker pleadingly, making the redhead realize that he was actually about to die from the public display of affection. "I think it's time for you to bring those to the lab, right?" The executive mumbled to her, making her nod, still in shock over the compromising position of the two men, with the tiger looking away from her as she left.

God wasn't the brunet even a bit embarrassed by such a display of love in front of someone?

"Ashamed of us, tiger?" The redhead teased, as he approached Atsushi and ruffled his hair, making him shake his head and try to explain himself, before the executive hushed him and chuckled knowingly. "Don't worry, I know you're not." The man smiled, with the brunet behind him nuzzling closer.

"He better not be." Dazai sighed, his breathy whisper tickling the boy's sensitive skin and making him shiver, as he finally got released, with the brunet grabbing his coat from his chair, already preparing to leave.

"But yeah, our dearest boss was worried sick for you. So he might be even clingier than before." Nakahara shrugged, with almost a pitying glance, as he too, shrugged his coat on and straightened himself up, calling their driver. "Chibi-kun, I swear to god I'll tell Ane-san that you've been bullying me." Their boss whimpered behind him, making him chuckle slightly as the pitiful expression made him turn around and give the man a small kiss on the cheek, leaving him stunned.

"I'm glad that you were worried about me, Dazai-san. Thank you for caring about me." He said softly, as he looked towards the floor, the sudden surge of confidence leaving his body as quickly as it entered.

The man just stood there, dumbly, for a few seconds.

"Atsushi…I think you broke him." Chuuya bit out, barely holding his laughter back at the scene, as the brunet stood there, blinking.

"Dazai-san?" The tiger mumbled looking back towards the man, equally as confused as him.

Before he yelped in surprise as the brunet threw himself into the boy and almost knocked them both down on the floor in a hug.

"You're too cute. Simply too adorable. That should be illegal. It is illegal. You're currently committing a crime." The brunet sighed dramatically, with Atsushi wheezing in his too-tight hold, barely able to breathe .

"No, I refuse to let you out of my sight. What if you're so cute around other people too? That won't do." He continued, as he clung onto Atsushi, making the said young man tap his back, feeling like he might really die from the embrace, all whilst his other partner chuckled in amusement.

"Chuuya-san, he is going to kill me!" The boy got out, as the man continued hugging him, with the executive laughing even harder by now, almost to tears. "This is not funny!" He cried out, as he finally wriggled out of the grasp with the biggest flush on his face, rolling his eyes at the clingy hands still around his waist.

If Dazai got like this every time the tiger returned from a mission, Atsushi might really get hugged to death one day.
