The gunman watches (Y/n) leave then turns to Dazai. The man laughs loudly. "Wow Dazai. She just left you high and dry."
Without realizing it, Dazai's heart clenches and tears mix with the rain.
"Now I will take extra pleasure in killing you."
Dazai closes his eyes, taking a breath and easily takes down the gunman.
The rain makes his clothes uncomfortable but the agent ignores the feeling.
He checks the time and mumbles (Y/n)'s schedule to himself.

(Y/n) runs into her apartment, panting heavily. She throws her clothes in the washer before getting into the shower.
The clothes finish their quick wash just as she gets out.
She throws them into the dryer, making sure her towel is covering everything as she bends.
An ominous, slow knock at the door sends a shiver down her spine but she opens the door anyways.
Dazai is standing there, fully dry now, looking at his feet. Slowly he looks up into her eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
"Can I come in?" He whispers softly.
(Y/n) pauses but steps aside so he came walk in.
Once he does she closes the door.

When (Y/n) turns around to face the agent he hugs her tightly.
He buries his face in her neck, his hand gripping the towel and her hair. "I'm so sorry little mystery. I know I hurt you and I don't expect you to forgive me. I don't blame you for leaving me to die."
"I knew you wouldn't die." She mumbles, rubbing his back.
"It made me come to terms though. I couldn't commit to you fully like you deserved. I took you for granted. But at the thought of losing you just now I snapped. I can't anymore. I want you and I want to devote myself to you fully."
"What about your work?"
"I will take breaks to spend time with you. I will make time for you. Just give me a chance to prove myself. Little mystery I...I love you."

(Y/n)'s eyes widen at the confession.
"You love me?"
"Yes. And I need you to love me again."
The woman looks away. "I don't know if I can Osa. I gave you everything and you burned me. How I can-"
"It doesn't have to be right away. I will shower you in gifts and affection and when you feel ready I'll do even more for you."
(Y/n) looks away and pulls away from him fully. "Fine."
Dazai smiles softly and kisses her knuckles. "I can't wait to see the sparkle in your eyes again."
She blushes slightly but looks away. "I'm gonna go get dressed."
"Put something nice on and I'll take you out for dinner."
"How about you make me dinner instead?"

Dazai smiles and puts his hands in his pockets. "If that's what you want."
(Y/n) turns to walk away but pauses and turns back to the agent. "What about you wanting to die all the time? I can't devote myself to someone who will take the easy way out any chance he gets."
"Oh little mystery you don't have to worry. Life was drilled into me by an old friend. But do you wanna know a secret?"
"What?"
"When that guy had a gun to my head, all I could worry about was you. I want to live, for you."
The woman pouts cutely, puffing out her cheeks. "Are you just trying to butter me up? Pretty words won't do the trick anymore."
"I know. But I still want you to hear them."

(Y/n) quickly leaves the room and changes in her bedroom.
Dazai gets started making her favorite dish.
The (h/c) sits on her bed and looks at her lap.
After a bit she opens her bedside table drawer and pulls out a picture frame.
It's of the two on their first date.
They're standing on the beach at sunset.
She smiles sadly as she traces the glass with her thumb.
It seemed like so long ago now.

Dazai walks to the bedroom and raises his hand to knock but sees the woman on her bed.
(Y/n) sets the photo back in the drawer and dabs her cheeks to make sure there were no tears.
Finally Dazai knocks and opens the door fully.
"Are you ready? Dinner is done."
"Mhm. What did you make?"
"Can't you smell it?" The brunette teases and smiles.
(Y/n) inhales through her nose and she smiles. "Ooh are you trying to win brownie points? Cause it's definitely working." The woman stands and jogs over then out of her room.

The two enjoy dinner and make small talk about their lives since their break up.
(Y/n) was glad Dazai was being open and seemed interested in what she had to say.
Unfortunately only time would tell if it would last.
Thankfully it did.
Dazai spent every day showing and telling her how much he cared about her.
It was as if their roles were reversed.
Dazai had completely fallen for (Y/n) and showed in any way he could think of.

As months go by she worried he would lose interest or work would take over again, but it didn't.
(Y/n) finally began to trust him and let her walls come down slowly. She could finally start to love him  like she used to.
What shocked her the most was when Dazai proposed to her.
It was a couple years after they got back together and their relationship was starting to strengthen.
Dazai took her to a cliff at sunset and after getting down on one knee, asked her to marry him.
(Y/n) was shocked at the sudden commitment, but after a long pause she smiled and agreed.

Dazai stands and kisses her.
(Y/n) blushes but kisses back.
When they pull away he smiles happily.
"I don't know if you've forgiven me but I'm...grateful to have you back. I'm ready to take this step. And I can't wait to keep loving you and showing you how much I love you."
"Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with me?"
"I wouldn't want anyone else. I have changed, I know that, but I hope it's for the best."
"I think it is." (Y/n) comments and holds his hand.
Dazai brings her hand up and kisses her knuckles.
