Dazai and Fyodor are both students of first year psychology. They both knew each other from highschool scince they were on the same year. They never talked much to be honest, just the sight of the other was enough scince they never felt like talking to the second person.

Dazai was an outgoing person, Fyodor on the other hand was an introvert, still they shared a hobby which was solving puzzles of course.

They sometimes were meeting each other after classes by accident because of their friends they shared but rarely talked to the other one.

Once they met at philosophy classes - their last lesson of the day. Dazai seeing his fellow acquaintance sat next to him and started their first chat in a while:

- Hey Fyodor, do you think this class is going to be as interesting as the last one?

- We'll see, I bet that professor is going to be absent today. I saw that yesterday he was a little cautious about something. I know that he has a son about our age and I heard he is missing - he looks at Dazai and waits for a response

- Yes, i also heard about that, he was my colleague in the first semester. I know he's a crazy guy but dissappearing like that? - Fyodor sighs - what a shame, I hope he's going to be found soon.

- Yeah, I hope so too, he was my colleague too, he was a kind soul - they both smile as these words come out of his mouth.

Suddenly the voice of university's secretary resounds in the class:

"Professor X is not going to be present today, you may now all exit the class"

Everyone joyously get up as the voice silences. After the crowd is gone, the only students left are Dazai and Fyodor. Suddenly Dazai asks:

- Do you want to grab some coffee maybe? There's a café near our university that I often visit after classes scince they make really good coffee.

- What is my business in this hm? - Fyodor answers with an evil grin on his face

- Oh that's what I thought you're going to ask me - Dazai giggles - of course we can chat about the boy's disappearance or philosophy classes if that's what you wish for. I know you love philosophy as much as I do and I guess we could find a common language when it comes to these topics.

Fyodor smiles gently with a dose of a mystery in his expression

- Sure, let's get some coffee, I think we can chat about that boy if that's what you asked for Dazai.

They both stand up and together head to the Café Dazai mentioned.

- 10 minutes later -

As they talk about books they read recently they get to the famous café.

- It's actually really nice here - says Fyodor as they walk in

- Mhm, I love it here

- So what do you want to talk about Dazai? The boy or are there other reasons you invited me here hm?

Dazai smiles in a surprisingly gentle way and answers:

- Ah Fyodor your guesses never miss you know? Okay scince you already know my motives I'm gonna tell you the truth.

Dazai slightly moves to Fyodor's side and whispers:

"I always wanted to see you in action you know"

Fyodor smirks

- Dazai you know we're in a public place?

- Of course Fyo, I just wanted you to know my motives that's all - Dazai gives him a seemingly evil grin that actually means he just proved his point.

Dostoyevski falls silent for a few seconds with a calm look on his face but eventually says with a smile:

"Then you also should know it wasn't that easy to take him away from that old man hm?"

- Of course, that boy was his only hope for the inheritance of money his uncle left behind. Now he's gone and with that his only money as well.

They both laugh

Fyodor asks him suddenly:

- Want to take this conversation elsewhere? I think there's too much witnesses here, don't you think?

- That's why I chose this place Fyo, i love to see you like this. In a place where you're not safe anymore.

Fyodor gives him a beautifully victorious smile.

- Oh you think I'm going to run away in tears now? Of course, maybe I'm not actually safe here because you know everything and we're in a public place where anytime someone may come and cuff me for what I've done... But do you really think I'm such a coward? Do you really think I'm going to panic as I sit here trembling in fear?

Fyodor laughs

"I know you too well Dazai."

- I know who you are, and I know your past, I know you Osamu.

Dazai lets him finish his speech as he smiles at him brightly

- Oh I know you do Fyodor, you're the Demon everyone is talking about, of course you know.

Dazai giggles

- So you already know who I am hm? That's great, it saves me a lot of explaining.

After few seconds of silence they both say in the same time:

"Do you want to come over?"

- I mean if u insist on doing so, I might actually say yes now, I see how we are similar after our conversation. - says Fyodor

- So, where are we going now Dos-kun? To my place? I have some good stuff at home, my friend sent it to me a while ago.

- Hmm, sounds interesting if you ask me. Sure, we may as well go over to your place Dazai.
