With you - Shin soukoku

Chapter 8

Atsushi's POV:

I walked into the agency like normal. Sat at my desk like normal. Thr only thing out of the ordinary were 2 things. People actually.

First is Dazai, he's been smirking at me the whole day. Not doing his work, but laughing to himself.

He has also given me a paper with Akutagawa's number. His excuse was, and I quote "You two are buddies arent you~ Plus maybe we could all go drinking once more sometime! You'll need it then~".

Im still surprised he had akutagawa number, kinda mad? Mad he did and I didn't.

Anyways, I had told Akutagawa through text it was me, he was surprisingly easy to convince. Not to mention he answered almost immediately.

Second thing, Ranpo has also been giggling to himself. Like he knows something few other people know. I can tell it's directed at me because whenever I glance back he laughs harder.

I've asked Yosano and Kenji about it but they don't know either. And Tanizaki's been to busy with Naomi nagging him all the time to ask. Its not like I hate her its just, she's overly clingy with her brother, he cant even do his work properly.

And Kunakida is on a mission with kyouka so I cant ask them. And the president? Also to busy to interrupt.

So I turn my eyed back to my computer. Ranpo giggling like a 5 year old and Dazai smirking. Until there was a knock on the door. Then Ranpo finally stopped laughing and went over to open the door.

"You came early!" He said smiling brightly.

"Umm... Of course I did, it is you after all dear ranpo"

A rather tall person with dark purple hair covering his eyes, and a raccoon on his shoulder had walk through the doorway after ranpo moved. Isn't he from the guild? Poe was it?

"Yay your here! Now over here!" Ranpo said grabbing the guy by his tie thingy. And dragged him over to his desk. Forced him down into his seat and... Sat in his lap?

"Ranpo why is someone from the guild here? For the second time?" Kanji asked raising his hand. Second? Oh yeah! When he came over during that one party!

"Glad you asked because I'm tired of the weird stares! Poe here is my dear friend~ And I wanted to show him something" He said tossing candy into his mouth and shoving a coffee mug into Poe's hands.

Kanji only nodded, smiling. Things went back to 'normal' till i got a message from my phone.

'Ping!'

Its from... Akutagawa. I quickly got out of my seat and walked outside to text back.

Contacts:

Akutagawa

Jinko, Do you have spare time

After work maybe some, why?

Come hang out with me.

A few things, first why, second where

I want to be friends, jinko
Atsushi*

Friends? Hang out? ATSUSHI? I didn't even think he knew my actual name. I blushed before reading his next text. Stuff about where and when.

We quickly sorted it out. And I quickly closed my phone. I think i now know what ranpo has been laughing at. How does that guy figure out everything?

"Atsushi has been out there for a little over 20 minutes now, do you think something bad happened to him?" Kenji said tilting his head down with worry.

"Kenji, do you know what being gay is?" -Dazai.

"No? Can you enlighten me?"-Kenji.

"Ok for example Ranpo and Poe over there"-Dazai.

"Pfft-"-Yosano spiting out her drink.

"Pff-" -Poe also spitting out his.
