Dazai x Male! Reader Pt.2

30. Chapter

18th February, Thursday, 11:52 am

"Hello, I am (Y/N) (L/N). I was told to be here at 12 for a job interview. Hello, I am (Y/N) (L/N). I was told to be here at 12 for a job interview. Hello, I am (Y/N) (L/N). I was told to be here at 12 for a job interview." The (H/C)-haired male mumbled repeatedly and nervously while pacing along the sidewalk.

Only yesterday Dazai had texted him about his hopefully new job in the café. Well, yesterday is perhaps the wrong word to use. This devil in person had the audacity to message Y/N at 2 in the freaking morning, leaving him theoretically 10 hours to prepare himself for the actual interview! And, just about enough time to call in sick at his actual work. They did not have to know that he was looking for another job, right? Not yet.

However, having had the luck of standing up early, (Y/N) had had about 3 hours to prepare himself, mentally and physically. As well as leaving several, rather loud and...let's just call them emotional, messages on Dazai's voice mail. He probably did not pick up on purpose, knowing what would await him. Bastard. Once again, he was the one to cause problems for everybody.

Or hopefully not. That was what the male was thinking as he spotted his destination. From the outside it looked like an old place, nothing with too many guests and well hidden from any problem causing teenagers. The energy which surrounded the place, or seemed to be surrounding it, was peaceful and showed a hint of culture. But this could also just have been (Y/N) nerves talking, wanting it to appear this way.

Finally, with a few last steps he had reached the door. Only for a second, he awkwardly stood there, taking a look inside through the glass before heading inside. The motion of the door made the small bell sing its song. Light, yet loud. He had imagined that the attention would be only on him after having stepped inside, but his nervous thinking was everything but right. There was no such thing as attention even in the room.

Nobody. It was empty. 'Shit, did I come to the wrong place?' (Y/N) quickly looked around while going to the counter. His nervousness was gone. Only a slight feeling of insecurity was left. 'This is definitely not the right place. This thing must be closed.' The male put an arm on the counter while taking a closer look at the furniture.

There were green benches and a table in front of every window, allowing an unhindered sight outside. The glass was beautifully patterned with red, pink and yellow colours. The counter had wooden chairs in front of it and behind the counter were different cabins with tableware. It looked nice, clean and comfortable.

'So how come that no one is here?!?' (Y/N) screamed in his mind, head turning to every possible door and hideout. With a sigh he sat down, bag on the floor. "Guess I will just have to wait." He could not quite decide if he was annoyed, angry or just confused, but it bugged him. How come that there was not a single person in the café? Not a guest, not an employee nor any weird gangster people. Surely this was just one of Dazai's twisted plans, where he waited for the perfect moment to walk in. Saying something along the lines of: 'Surprise!' or 'Already waiting for me, (Y/N?)' or "Please excuse the wait sir, we are currently having a few problems with the supplies and deliveries."

Well, certainly not that. (Y/N) turned his head back to the counter, spotting a woman in a slightly bowed position behind it. Oh, looks like someone was here after all.

"Oh, no, no problem. It's fine." (Y/N) said awkwardly, taken by surprise. With a slight smile on her face the woman stood straight and took a step closer to her costumer. "Thank you very much for your patience. What would you like to drink sir?" He quickly started shaking his hands before speaking. "Nothing, thanks, actually I am here for a job interview, was told so yesterday. I am (Y/N) (L/N)." 'Well, almost the right text...' His hands dropped just in time with his short adrenalin peck. Why was it always so hard to say an internal script out loud?
