still human to me [osamu dazai x reader]

Mystery| 3

When I call Atsushi your partner, I don't mean romantic partner.  Like how Dazai and Kunikida are parents in the agency, you and Atsushi are the same.

Also, Ikebukuro is another city in Japan. You'll see why I'm mentioning this soon.

Y/N]? [Y/N] Snap out of it!" You heard your partner in the agency's voice call out to you.

"Sorry Atsushi. What's up?" You turned your head to face his lopsided moon-white hair and his sectoral heterochromia eyes.

"Are you okay? Y-you spaced out for a second." Atsushi remarked as he shot you a concerned look.

"Oh I'm fine. Just daydreaming!" You lied to your partner.  He bought the lie, nodding and getting back to his paperwork.

Swap out having a dream in the middle of the day to having a nightmare in the middle of the day, yeah, that would be more accurate... You thought to yourself as you got back to your work. Little did you know, a pair of caramel brown eyes was watching you daydream. It didn't look like a good one to him though. Your eyes were hollow, no shines whatsoever. Just solid [E/C]. They looked melancholic to him.

You had been in the agency just as long as Dazai has. After Kyouka was saved by Atsushi, Atsushi became your partner while still being Dazai's subordinate. However, no one knew where you came from. Nor did you want them to. If they ever asked, you and your family were from Ikebukuro, and you joined the agency wanting to make more money for them.  All standard, you didn't have origins like Dazai's or Atsushi's, or well, you wish that was the truth.

They space out a lot I guess. Dazai thought to himself, his eyes fixated on you. I wonder whats on their mind. 

"Atsushi. [Y/N]. I have a mission for you two." You heard a broad voice call out.  You and Atsushi looked up at Fukuzawa. He had a stern look on his face, but, he was always like that.

"What is it?" Atsushi asked as you and your partner rose from your seats.

"There's a small group or people connected to various murders around Yokohama." Fukuzawa started. "All with broken jaws and three bullets to the chest. I think you know what that means."  You and Atsushi stared at each other,  practically reading each others minds.

"H-how do you know its not really the Port Mafia doing it?" Atsushi asked hesitantly, a bead of sweat making its way down his face, down his neck and then soaking into his white dress shirt.

"Thats your job to figure out. Now get going. They should be at this location." Fukuzawa handed you some files and  ended his orders by sending the both of you a smile of trust before making his way back to his office.

"Stay safe out there!" Kunikida  called out as he adjusted his glasses.  "Don't get hurt." Kyouka muttered as Atsushi patted her head. "Yea..." Dazai followed up quietly, still lost in his thoughts about you.

"What's wrong with you today?" Kunikida asked as you and Atsushi left the room.

"What do you mean?" Dazai asked as her turned to his blonde partner.

"Usually your more chirpy then this." Kunikida answered while opening his laptop to get back to work.

"I'm fine. I'm just tired, thats all." Dazai replied calmly while sitting back down and staring out one of the windows.

I'm just tired of not knowing whats wrong with them...

You and Dazai weren't particularly close, but he did always have a hunch about you. Dazai was still normally himself, but every time he'd catch you staring into space deep in thought, he'd only grow more concerned. Just being an average kid from Ikebukuro trying to make money sounded to bland to him. There had to be more.

"Also, I need you to find [Y/N]..." He thought back to one of the things Odasaku had told him in his dying moments. Was it a coincidence that you had the same name as the orphan he was searching for? Or was it more then that? It drove him insane to say the least.

"They should be here." Atsushi spoke. The two of you followed the coordinates to the outside of an abandoned school. You felt the fear radiating off of your partner, but you know he could feel yours too. This was a group of people the two of you had been tracking for a while.

You activated your ability, 𝐷𝑒𝑖 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑎, and braced yourself for what was yet to come.

Sorry I had to cut this short. I love you guys to pluto and back ❤️
