still human to me [osamu dazai x reader]

Friend| 4

"They got away." You hissed as they walked alongside a bruised up Atsushi back into the building. You remembered back to that massive loss, groaning in annoyance at the thought.

"Oh, you guys are back." You heard Dazai's voice call out. "Everyone went home already. I was just about to head out."

"We lost. Again." You remarked as you looked down. Atsushi put his hand on your back to comfort you.

"I guess I'll be heading home now." Atsushi said as he gathered his things and walked our the door. It was only you and Dazai now.

"Hey, its okay. We'll catch them another time." Dazai said trying to make you feel better and strike up a conversation. You continued to look down, disappointed with yourself.

"Can I know more about you?" Dazai said out of nowhere, causing you to look up and stare into his chocolate brown orbs. "Like more about your family, or what its like back in Ikebukuro. I wanna know you more."

You had to admit, he seemed a bit suspicious.

"Well, a-ask me something?" You stuttered out while walking back to your desk to gather your things.

"Do you have any siblings?" Dazai asked, trying to get something out of you.

"Um, yea! Kousuke and Sakura!" You said trying to play it cool. Kousuke and Sakura were names that came to your mind first.

Those two were like siblings to me... You thought to yourself silently.

Kousuke and Sakura... If it is, its one huge fucking coincidence... Dazai thought to himself.

"Well, I'll go home now. Goodnight Dazai!" You said as you picked up your things and hurried out of the room and out of the building, so fast he didn't have a chance to say goodbye to you.

The sky was painted with ultramarine blue, with white stars splattered across it. You felt as though the moon was staring right back down at you as you ran to get away. You felt warm, salty tears threatening your eyes as they became blurry. Eventually, you collapsed onto the ground sobbing. Those memories still haunting you to this day. No one was there to watch you. Or so, you thought.

"Are you alright?." You heard a voice call out to you. You looked up to see a man with messy blonde hair and rectangular glasses. He was dressed like a gentleman, a vest with a bow tie to match. He reminded you of Kunikida, in a way.

"Uh, sorry!" You exclaimed as you got up and got a better look at him. A cigarette hung from his mouth as his eyes wandered all over you. He had gorgeous honey brown eyes that could restore faith in anyone.

"No its fine, but you haven't answered my question yet." He spoke again while reaching over to gently wipe a tear off your face.

"I don't know." You whispered, looking down, embarrassed to look this stranger in the eye.

You thought back to everything that happened that day. Especially your spat with Dazai. What if he found out who you really were?  What would you do then?

"Here, try this, works for me." The man said as he used to fingers to remove the cigarette from his mouth. He handed it to you.

"I've never smoked before." You stated, hesitant to take it.

"So no?" He asked, staring into your [E/C] eyes.

Hearing this, you took it from his hands and held it between two of your fingers.  All you wanted to do was feel better in the moment, so you were willing to try.

A-N Smoking doesn't make things better.  This is just for the sake of the story.

You placed it in your mouth and took a breath. Immediately, you took it out of your mouth and began violently coughing. You felt him take the cigarette out of your hands.

"Yea, that doesn't go away..." He said as he put it back in his mouth.

"But, I want you to know something." He said as you looked back up at you.

"You aren't as alone as you feel." He said as he gave you a soft smile. "Things get easier"

You sighed and smiled at the man. "I Guess they do." You replied.

"Whats your name?" He asked, seeming to like you.

"[Y/N]." You replied.

"That's a pretty name. I'm Shizuo." He said as he pulled out his phone at the sound of a notification.

"I should get going, but I'll see you again soon, [Y/N]." He said as he turned and walked off.  You were saddened at the fact that the moment was over, but smiled knowing he said he would see you again.

You walked into the night, making your way home. Thoughts of your new friend Shizuo making you feel better with every step you took.
