Love to be loved huh? (BSD x reader)

One step further i guess?

We got the stuck Dazai out of the drum, (Atsushi pushed it LMAO) and now we are sitting on it.

"I owe you one Atsushi. without you, i would've snapped in half at the waist"
Dazai stretches.
"Didn't you ask your other coworkers for help?"
Atsushi speaks, I look back and forth between them speaking, since i am sitting in the middle.
"I called them, sure. I told them i was on death's door. But then everyone was like 'congratulations.'"
"LMAO"
Dazai side-eyes me with his mouth in a straight line as i say that, i snicker.

"I forgot to say this before but, Nice outfit Y/N."
Atsushi scans my outfit and i look at it too.

I am wearing a white-beige coloured ribbed knit halter tie-back tee, upon which i was wearing a cropped black jacket which ended above my hips with a belt. The outfit was matched with black cargo pants which was not too tight, not too loose, just right for comfort and style. To complete the whole look i was wearing beige platform converse, and fingerless gloves which ended past my wrists.

"Thankyou, you look good too you know."
I smile at him. Atsushi's face heats up and he looks to the floor taking his eyes away from me.

"Thankyou...."
He mutters
NO. WAY. he is BLUSHING?
'I made Sushi blush? Amazing, didn't know i had that in me.'
I nod my head with a proud face.

Dazai's mouth shapes up into a proud smirk.
"Hm, truly Y/N, i mean only a true genius can style up something so good-looking. The person who put together your outfit must be really smart."

I deadpan.
'ah so it's him.'
I laugh.
"Thankyou then, Dazai."

"Oooh that's right! How did you know, you're pretty smart."
He pats my head.

I playfully roll my eyes as i set my hair which had been ruined by Dazai.

"Say, Dazai-san."
Me and Dazai both look at Atsushi, who was still looking at the ground below him.

"The private investigators at the Armed Detective Agency, they're gifted right?"

"Right, they're an armed force taking on antagonists the police don't stand a chance against."
Dazai replies.

"I don't stand a chance joining the agency then."
My face softens when Atsushi says that.

"Youre gifted just fine."
Dazai states.

"It's true that i have the supernatural ability to turn into a tiger, but i have absolutely no control over it. I just transform blindly. So i don't think i'll be of any use to the Armed Detective Agency."
Atsushi sighs.

I furrow my eyebrows and look ahead of myself too. It feels so sad that Atsushi doesn't think good of himself. And i want to say things to reassure him, and make him stay, but i can't change the storyline. This is the set up for the test.

I keep a hand on Atsushi's shoulder.
"Atsushi you're good enough, don't say that..."

He just smiles at me and shakes his head. He stands up from the drum.
"I really appreciate the offer, though. I'm sorry."
Atsushi says and bows to dazai.

I sigh and wait for Dazai's response.

"What's your plan, then?"

"I think i will get a job i can handle."
Atsushi smiles lightly.

"I have an idea for a potential job. I can help you get it, if you'd like."
Dazai grins at Atsushi.

"You're staying though, Y/N"

"Yeah i figured."
I sigh.

I wonder what test will i be going through, surprisingly i am excited for it. To be honest, i was really dumb. I should've known that the job Dazai said he will help me find is being one of the detectives the moment he said it. Was i that desperate or was i just ignoring the possibility?
But then again, it's probably the latter, at that time i was expecting everything but the ADA accepting me. And i am still confused. I have no ability, and no super talent like Ranpo. So what exactly is the reason I am here at the Agency...
