Something felt off, Chuuya had noticed. His eyes piercing onto the back of his subordinates heads, Akutagawa was chipper. His body language was different, and he noticed that every time he got a text his eyes would light up, a small smile would be pitched up on his lips when he read the text.

Akutagawa had noticed the burning on the back of his skull and turned around to face Chuuya.

"Is something the matter, Nakahara-San?"He asked, tilting his head to the side. The fiery redhead squinted his eyes, his chin tucked on the palm of his hand. The blue ocean eyes scanning him up and down.

"Who is she,"Chuuya said, curtly.

Akutagawa let out a surprise noise, baffled. "I beg your pardon?"He questioned. Chuuya rolled his eyes, uncrossing his legs, walking over to his subordinate. "You have a girlfriend, it's so painfully obvious. What's her name?"

He let out a grunt, his usual grumpy expression returning to his face. "As if I have enough time for something so stupid as getting a lover,"He scowled.

That was a total lie. Because yes he did obtain a lover, someone nobody (maybe Dazai and chuuya) ever thought of as his lover. His so called 'rival' that he fought and almost literally killed several times, Atsushi Nakajima. Yes, the loved by all were tiger of the ADA was his lover. Countless bickering had turned into soft conversations, harsh insults had turned into playful banters, and the only 'killing' involved was him tackling his love and getting him to burst into fits of giggles because of how many tickle attacks he does to the poor thing.

It all happened six months ago, during an almost failed mission. They were bleeding and panting on the floor of their hotel room where they stayed, and both were high from the adrenaline. Once They had connected eye contact, the next thing he knew were connected together were their lips. Then the next, we're their hearts as their laughter filled the small room. The morning came. Akutagawa had no memory of the time they moved to the bed, but he didn't complain. Since he quite like how warm Atsushi felt against him. All snuggled up on his chest and wearing the jacket he had brought (since he gets cold easily).

The six months were filled with such cherishing moments. No matter how sappy it sounded, Akutagawa felt so loved whenever he was together with Atsushi. His apartment no longer felt empty and sad, the atmosphere went from depressingly tense to soft warm light drastically when Atsushi moved in (surprisingly Kyouka didn't complain about it, neither did anyone from the agency either). His apartment felt lived in, more pillows were added everywhere, the living room was a mess (but a good kind) with report files on the coffee table (maybe one or two mugs). His bedroom no longer looked depressing, instead it was filled with a few plushies and Atsushi's discarded clothes. The kitchen was now filled with mountains of foods (Atsushi insisted that he needed to eat more). Though he didn't quite like that his lover stole a lot of his clothes (lies he loves it).

Surprisingly enough, nobody had caught on. Well, until Chuuya.

The fiery mafiaso rolled his eyes in exasperation. "You're a terrible liar, fess up or I'm stealing that phone of yours,"Be grumbled. Getting dangerously close, not joking about the stealing his phone part. Akutagawa's face turned red and so did the tip his ears. A victorious smirk stretched on Chuuya's lips. "I knew it,"

"Knew what, Lad?"

"Ane-San, did ya hear that our lovely Akutagawa has earned himself a lover?"A scoff could be heard, the door suddenly closing shut. Gin had entered holding some files.
