Dazai looks at (Y/n) from across the office.
The said person has headphones in while they work and aren't paying attention to anyone, especially Dazai.
They're very androgynous so he has a hard time telling if they're a guy or girl.
Seeing as how they dress like both.
"Dazai you're staring and it's rude." Kunikida mumbles, looking up at Dazai then pushes up his glasses.
"I'm trying to figure something out."
"What's that?"
"Is (Y/n) a man or woman?"
"Neither."
"Extraterrestrial then. Cool."
"No you idiot! They're nonbinary."
"What the hell is that?"
"Why don't you search it up like the rest of us did."
The brunette pouts but does as told. "I didn't know you could be neither. When did this become a thing?"
"It's been more accepted recently." Kunikida responds, closing his laptop.
"Now I have more questions."
"Then ask them, but don't be rude about it. The last thing they need is your harassment."
Dazai stands and walks over to his co-worker.
(Y/n) looks up and quickly pauses their music, taking out their headphones. "Mr. Dazai! I'm so sorry! Did you need something?"
"I have some questions about you."
They frown and look away. "So you're finally asking. I guess it was just a matter of time."
Dazai frowns. "Nothing bad (Y/n). I just want you to explain everything to me with your words. The web can only do so much. No malice or judgment."
His smile seems genuine and his normal curious glint shines in his eyes.
(Y/n) rubs the nape of their neck. "Can we do this after work, somewhere private?"
"Oh sure!"
After work (Y/n) and Dazai get some drinks and talk while walking around.
They answer all his questions honestly.
He didn't show any sign of irritation or bullheadedness.
(Y/n) was scared he'd tell them they were either a man or woman, or be ignorant about everything.
Talking things out actually felt great, like they got closer as friends.
Dazai was relieved to finally have an answer to his questions.
Things didn't change either.
Work and play stayed normal.
Once they were comfortable enough Dazai even started making jokes and teasing, a sign of true friendship.
(Y/n) laughs softly. "I can only imagine how you'd react if I introduced you to my gender-fluid friend."
"Wait gender-fluid, what's that?!" Dazai exclaims.
The (h/c) laughs and shakes their head. "Look it up."
Dazai puff out his cheeks and again pulls out his phone to search up the answer.
(Y/n) drinks and waits in silence for his reaction.
He pinches the bridge of his nose. "You have no beanies and they have both beanies?"
"That was the cringiest thing I've ever heard Dazai. And I think you just offended everyone."
Dazai crosses his arms. "Whatever," he grumbles.
"I know you mean well, that's what matters. You want to learn and understand, which is more than a lot of people." (Y/n) smiles happily, eyes closed.
Dazai smiles softly and looks down at his drink.
