Hooligan | Dazai Osamu

Kitten Heels (Soulmate AU!)

Dazai never believed in the red string of fate, that everybody was talking about. Every couple around him claimed, that there was a thin red string, which was connecting the little fingers of the two lowers, and it never ripped. It could tangle, but never rip. People said, that they started seeing their red string only after they've met their destined person, but since Dazai had never seen it before, he didn't believe in it.

Or he just couldn't believe, that there was someone, destined or, it's better to say, burdened to have him as a soulmate.

Perhaps, Dazai was the only person, who wasn't looking forward to meeting his soulmate, but on the opposite, was hoping, that they didn't exist. He couldn't bear the idea of someone, who loved him, being in pain because of some of his horrible, in his opinion, traits or habits, so he just hoped, that his life would end earlier, than he would see the red string of fate on his little finger.

But fate had different plans.

"Hello, my name is (Y/N) (L/N)~! I'm happy to be your new colleague from now on~" You said, bowing and greeting everyone

Everyone gathered around you, asking you some questions about your age, biography and some other things, as Kunkida was trying to calm his coworkers down and let him give you all the instructions about your  new job, but no one listened. Everyone was too curious about her to pay attention to his yells.

There was just one person, who wasn't greeting you, but was still sitting on his working place.

Dazai was a little too distracted, taking a closer look at the red string, tied around his pinky, that, he was sure, wasn't there before.

"Excuse me..." You suddenly said, asking the others to stop burying you with questions, as you also needed to look at something new on your hand "I'm pretty sure, I didn't have it before..."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Yosano asked

"The red string." You explained "I didn't have it when I was standing in front of the Agency door, but now it's suddenly here..."

You pulled at the string, looking closely at where it was leading, before following it. The string lead you past Kunikida's desk, right to Dazai's, where he was sitting.

His heart was beating so loudly, that he could clearly hear it, pumping in his ears, as each step of your kitten heels, echoed around the room, while you got closer and closer to him until it was clearly seen, that your little fingers were connected with the same string.

Both of you were a little too shocked to actually say something as you were staring at your hands and the thin, soft string, that connected you with each other.

Dazai's mouth opened slightly, but not because of the string, but because of you.

You were definitely the most beautiful woman he ever saw. Gentle features, silk hair, gorgeous eyes, captivating smile and graceful movements - he has never seen such a magnificent combination in a woman. You were so stunning in his eyes, that Dazai started feeling like he wasn't looking at the human anymore, but at the angel, the purest and most beautiful creature in the world, so he raised up from his seat in respect.

"Well, hello~" You smiled genuinely at him "My name's (Y/N)~ I'm happy to finally meet you~"

"My name is Dazai Osamu~" Dazai smiled back, taking your hand in his tenderly, as he was slightly scared that his hands, that weren't used to being gentle, could hurt you "And I can say the same to you~ it's a real pleasure to see you~"

You blushed slightly as you lost yourself in his eyes, chocolate oceans, just as he lost himself in yours, (e/c) ones.

You two were staring at each other, before Kunikida interrupted you with coughing and asking you to come and follow him, what you did, after telling Dazai, that you will see him soon. Before letting you go, he raised your hand up to his lips and gave it a gentle kiss, before finally letting you go, chuckling at the blush on your cheeks.

He was watching you as you disappeared in the director's office, still not completely understanding what has just happened.

"My~ Can this be, that the great Dazai Osamu finally met his own soulmate~?" Yosano chuckled "Do you believe in fate now~?"

"I didn't fell in love." Dazai protested "She was just really beautiful."

"Believe in whatever you want~" She smirked "But I can clearly see that there's something between you too~"

Dazai shaked his head, trying to convince both, Yosano and himself, that he felt nothing serious to you, but he definitely knew, that from now on, he would be able to recognize the sound of your kitten heels among the crowd.

I have something to ask you!

What do you think of my grammar? I'm just not always sure, that everything is correct because well, English is not my first language, and punctuation and grammar is very different in Russian (I speak it, but just a friendly reminder, that I was born and still live in Ukraine 🇺🇦) so I'm not always confident in my writing.

I know, that I have some things to improve as to the style, but now, I'm just curious about the grammar. Is it alright in my stories? (More or less, at least)

I just don't wanna be one of those writers, who don't even add commas, while listing things, or forget that "—" or ":" exists so yeah, I'm working on it^^
