Bungou Stray Dogs [Oneshots]

Dazai | Work buddies 3

It was a tradition at the Armed Detective Agency that after a new recruit was taken on and they had successfully survived the hectic life of working at the office for more than a month that everyone would go out and celebrate at a local bar.

A month had passed so quickly and you somehow still had your sanity. Tonight was the night you got to finally celebrate that accomplishment with your new friends. You were a little more than excited as it had been a while since you last went out but you weren't nervous or anything. Well you were maybe a tiny itty bit nervous because of a certain someone who made your heart flutter every time you saw him.

You added the final touches to your makeup by applying a rich f/c lipstick to your lips. You had nothing against make up but with your busy life and little knowledge of the stuff you didn't wear it as much as you'd like to. You did however like how it made you look and the energy that came with it. It was like a superpower that let you feel like the most confident woman in the world, like nothing could bring you down. Not having an ability like the others wasn't easy but you did have your own charms.

Looking at the time on your phone you realized that you were of course going to be late, as usual. You knew Kunikuda wouldn't be happy about that but since tonight was about you, you eased up thinking maybe they wouldn't be too mad about your tardiness. The bar wasn't too far from your apartment, only about a ten minute walk. Yokohama was certainly just as busy at night as it was during the day with the streets bustling full of people going to dinner or simply out for a stroll.

You can't say you didn't enjoy the couple of gazes you were thrown by passing people who were trying not to stare. After all you did want to look your best tonight. You had picked out a cute yet sophisticated looking dress that was a little bit revealing but still kept room for the imagination. It was made from a silk like material that felt so soft when you brushed it down, getting rid of any creases. You weren't entirely sure why you got so dolled up tonight, after all your usual night attire consisted of some stylish jeans and a cute top but tonight was different. You had a sneaking suspicion on why you put in the extra effort but quickly pushed it to the back of your mind.

Arriving only thirty minutes late you pushed open the door of the rustic looking bar and headed inside. You scanned the area to hopefully spot your friends as soon as possible but that wasn't too difficult because as soon as you walked in Atsushi popped up out of a booth and waved you over, calling your name.

"Y/n! You're here" the boy said cheerfully with a wide smile that quickly turned into a shocked face when he looked at you fully. You couldn't help but chuckle at his innocence. Looking at the booth of people you quickly passed each face until you noticed that someone was missing. Dazai wasn't here for some reason.

But he told me earlier that he was coming
I..

You felt your smile slowly begin to fade until you felt the presence of someone behind you placing their hand on your shoulder.

"Why so glum Y/n Chan? Did you think I wasn't going to show" the mysterious voice stated.

Turing you saw none other than the suicidal maniac holding two drinks in his hands. Your eyes brightened and smile lifted once again.

"I guessed you were going to be late so I took the initiative and got you a drink before you arrived, hope you like vodka" the man smiled handing you the glass of vodka and mixer.

Dazai's smile turned into more of a grin when he slowly looked you up and down, making sure you didn't notice. He wouldn't ever admit it but he swore that you specifically picked out your outfit just to tease him in front of everyone. You looked amazing, that's something he would admit that but the fact that you were drawing attention from the other men in the bar really did rub him the wrong way and he had to do everything in his power to not grab you and drag you away from them. You see although you hadn't been a member for long you had somehow insnared the brunette man to the point where he had developed a little crush on you. Although a little crush was all he was going to admit to himself.
