(Y/n) smiles happily as she works, pouring coffee for her usual agency customers.
Dazai immediately takes her hand begins his dramatic double suicide speech.
The woman giggles softly and watches Kunikida punch Dazai.
"Come on little mystery, one date?"
"I suppose one won't hurt."
The brunette cheers then sticks his tongue out at his partner.
The others at the table sweatdrop.
(Y/n) gives Dazai her number and he texts her the details.

As their date goes on the more fun she has.
It didn't take much to make her worry about him but also fall for his charm.
He liked her though and decided he'd like another date.
She agrees and he sets the date around her cafe hours.
They have fun and (Y/n) began to care for him.
Unfortunately, it could also be considered naïveté.
Falling for someone so quickly and caring about them with little to go on.
Dazai didn't get as attached but she would already take a bullet for him.
Although it was sudden, anyone could tell it was real.
She really loves him.

Dazai doesn't really do love though. He can feel it yes but it takes a long time and a deep connection.
There hasn't been enough time between them for him to even consider it.
Right now it's just a fling to him.
(Y/n) has been confronted by her friends but she tries to justify her actions. She could justify her own but not his.
As the days turn to weeks and weeks into months (Yn) could feel him pulling away.
He began to feel like a stranger again.
Cold and distant.
Being naturally concerned she tries to ask her boyfriend what was wrong.
Dazai ignores her, under the pretense he's busy with work.

But being busy with work will only work for so long.
(Y/n) slowly becomes closed off and her ray of sunshine outlook dims.
Those around her notice but don't know what to say or do.
"I know you care about him but this is no longer a relationship. It's better for everyone if you just break up with him. You need to stop caring about him because obviously he doesn't care about you. I bet he doesn't even give you a second thought." Her friend suggests and crosses her arms.
"I love him though. How can you ask me to just forget about that?"
"Think about it this away (n/n): if you were dying on the street, he wouldn't bat an eye. That's how you need to treat him."
"It's his job to protect against ability users."
"Then let's test it out. How will he stand if you're in danger."
"But that's-"
"You tried talking it out in a healthy way but he refuses to answer now we take drastic measures. And if you want you can blame it on me."

They try calling Dazai but he sends them to voicemail. They try again and this time Dazai picks up.
"I don't know who you are but stop calling me." Dazai orders then hangs up.
They try calling from (Y/n)'s phone, first time nothing.
On the second he answers.
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop-"
"It's nkt (Y/n) it's her friend."
"Why the hell are you calling me from her phone?"
"Because she's been kidnapped by an ability user. We were out and-"
"Put her on the phone."
(Y/n) and her friend look at each other.
"I just told you-"
"Nevermind you're probably on speaker. (Y/n) how many time have I told you I'm busy with work? You shouldn't bother your friends with your insecurities. You're a grown woman."

Tears well in her eyes but quickly her sadness turns to anger.
"Maybe I wouldn't be so insecure if you would just talk to me. I'm done Dazai. Fuck you." She quickly hangs up and angrily throws het phone on her bed.
Her friend frowns and rubs her back. "I'm sorry."
(Y/n) throws her back and takes deep breaths to calm herself.
"You wanna do something?"
"Get me blackout drunk." The woman requests and her friend laughs but nods.
"Let's go have some fun."

Dazai looks at his paperwork and frowns.
"Ya know she just cares about you. Why are you being so distant?" Kunikida mumbles, typing on his laptop.
"Because he has commitments issues." Ranpo grumbles, walking past with his hands in his pockets. "You just lost a great woman Osamu."
"I didn't lose anything. She'll calm down and when I'm not busy with work we can go on a date then everything will be just fine."
"If you say so Dazai." The blonde whispers and goes back to work.

As the week pass again Dazai realized things wouldn't be fine.
She wouldn't answer his calls, she declines his dates or meet ups.
The agent began to miss her, the little things she used to do, especially now that he's not so busy.
(Y/n) thought about blocking him number, having absolutely nothing to do with him but her curiosity got the better of her. She wants to know what he texts her or leaves as a voicemail.
Her heart broke when she heard him say he misses her, both because she loved him and because she hates him.
Although her eyes were open to who he really is and she won't make the mistake of giving him another chance, he'll only fuck that up too.

(Y/n) walks down the street as the rain begins to fall harder. She forgot her umbrella but she didn't mind walking in the rain. She's got nowhere to be.
Since this part of town is barren no one running past trying to get out of the rain or splashing her.
Although some yelling catches her attention.
"Any last words Dazai?"
Dazai looks to the side and sees (Y/n).
She looks over and her eyes widen.
The brunette is being held at gun point.
His eyes widen.
"Little mystery!"
Tears stream down her cheeks and she wipes them away with her wet sleeve.
Her expression turns stoic, looking between the two men and turns away.
"Save yourself!" She yells and runs away.
Dazai's eyes widen more as he watches her leave.
