rest; Osamu Dazai

As I opened the door to the agency I was greeted by a couple 'hello's' from Kenji, Yosano and Naomi who were all supposedly busy with work. In the far corner was Kyouka quietly eating some tofu while Ranpo was lazing around on his office chair and that's when you noticed some missing faces.

"Where's Atsushi and Kunikida?" I asked Naomi who looked up from her paperwork.

"They and Tanizaki had a last-minute assignment, they're suppose to come back any minute."

And as for Dazai? Probably trying out a new suicide technique or hopelessly begging some women to commit a double suicide with him. He's asked once but my obvious response was interrupted by Kunikida who whacked the brunette in the back of the head. Me and Atsushi would always wonder how those two are even partners. A sudden yawn escaped my lips as I walked over to the couches hidden behind the blinds and apparently a certain brunette noticed my exhaustion.

"No sleep?"

I whipped my head in the direction of the voice only to see none other than Dazai Osamu sprawled over one of the lounge chairs. He had his right eye closed and a lazy smile making me blush at the sight of him. He was a masterpiece with many secrets and flaws, one of them being his endless rants about suicide. And here I was thinking he was goofing around somewhere in the city.

"Yeah... I thought you'd be out with Kunikida and Atsushi?" I tilted my head to add to my confused appearance.

"I didn't get any sleep at all last night either."

Then it hit me. I recall hearing footsteps outside my apartment last night only to be met with the silhouette of a person- He must have went to visit him again. Dazai would often go visit Odasaku's grave if he ever had a nightmare or if he needed to be reminded that he had a purpose in life. I swear everytime that I think of Dazai feeling worthless or the pain he must've felt when Odasaku died it makes my heart ache.

"What happened this time?" I sat down on the couch the opposite to his.

"It's nothing... you don't need to worry about it." He sighed before closing his eyes again. Just as I was about to leave I felt a soft hand grab my wrist and turned to see the cute brunette looking down at the floor as he gently pulled me closer to him.

"Sometimes I wonder why Odasaku did what he did... about why he didn't leave the Mafia when he had the chance. We could have even left together and we'd all be happy..."

A tear slid down Dazai's cheek as he gritted his teeth together. At the same time I felt a few tears slip out and looked away. Soon enough Dazai turned to me with his coffee brown orbs bearing into my own as he mumbled a few words.

"Can you stay with me Y/N? I have a feeling I'd sleep better knowing you're there to hold me."

I nodded shyly before grabbing a blanket from under the couch and draping it over the two of us when I finally laid down with him. His arms immediately circled around my waist while he rested his head against my chest smiling when his eyes closed as he listened to my heartbeat. The day this man would ask me again, I would say yes. It's hard to imagine a world where Dazai isn't there, to be honest I don't think anyone could consider that. Soon enough he finally dozed off still smiling as I began threading my S/C fingers through his brown locks. Just as I thought I could enjoy the peaceful moment the door to the agency got thrown open by Kunikida who probably was pissed off with Dazai... again. I put a hand over Dazai's ear as the blonde began shouting his arse off. Luckily Dazai didn't stir.

Kunikida finally appeared at the foot of the couch gritting his teeth while waving his arms around over his head. I raised a finger to my lips as my way of saying 'shut the fuck up' in which the idealist instantly obeyed. Then at his side was Atsushi, then Kenji, Tanizaki, then Naomi clinging onto his back, Ranpo, Kyouka, Yosano, Kirako and the boss himself who grinned at the sight of us. My cheeks tainted red at the number of eyes watching me and I shyly looked away while everyone began whispering of how cute we look together. I returned my gaze back to the angel in my arms, Maybe one day....

Maybe one day we could be for real.
