10. Bourbon and Cigarettes

Hello~ dearest readers!
This chapter's a bit more lighthearted and I attempted to make it fluffy.

I'm also listening to the dead apple soundtrack haha. Hope you enjoy! ^^

Days had gone normally after that night, doing handy work and then managing the bar. Today, she was called to a job with Dazai and Chuuya to get rid of a minor threat that'd set bombs in a nearby port. They'd all seen it as an easy job.

Several hours had passed, it was golden hour. Three figures walked by the port, a job well finished. " Ah, that was a breeze," Chuuya sighed with his hand behind his head. (Y/N) hummed, following the two in front of her. Taking out the opposing gangs was easy, but getting rid of bombs took longer than usual. " My day's not even over," the girl said, looking out into the port," I still have bar work."

" But (Y/N)~ You get to spend the time with me!," Dazai said joyfully. " I suppose~," she teased, making Chuuya chuckle. " Wah~," the man said, a little beat down," So mean, (Y/N)." She kissed his cheek laughed and skipped ahead of the two, humming to herself.

" Let's go do something, before I head to the bar.," a smile fell on the girl face as she spoke.
" Like what?," the redhead replied in confusion.

" Burning money of course!"

" Eh?"

The three sat on the balcony of (Y/N)'s apartment. A pit fire was lightly aflame in the sunset. (Y/N) walked out with a box in her hands. " So... this is your fathers money?," Chuuya asked, a glass of wine in hand. She nodded," I want to burn it. If I traveled back here from Europe, I don't need to leech off of him anymore. It's a new life for me." She pulled out a stack of cash and let the dollar bills trickle into the fire.

Dazai moved closer to her," Hey Love, mind handing me a stack." She nodded and pulled out a stack from the box. He pulled the girl under his arm and threw the cash to burn. The redhead stared at the two lovers in front of him. Dazai had looked... happier. It wasn't like anything of his teasing side, but it was genuine happiness. It was almost as if the girl had shown him a light that was dim enough for him not to notice it just yet.

How did they meet anyways...? And why was he at such an interest for her? he'd thought to himself

The bar was usually empty that night, (Y/N) was dancing around the back bar while wiping down classes. The radio had played slow jazz, and even though the bar was still open, no one was there. " Ah this bar thing is easy.," she mumbled to herself, setting the glass down on a shelf.

" Excuse me," a low voice sounded throughout the empty bar, footsteps walking to a seat. The girl scrambled to a stand, grabbing a glass and placing a drink on the table. " Sorry sir, I wasn't expecting anyone to be coming in," (Y/N) stated in a low hush. To be honest, she was a little scared of the man in front of her, a mafia executive.

However, it wasn't just any executive: Dazai Osamu was a man well known for his ruthlessness and manipulation. " Oh my~," his voice trickled," Such a lovely bartender." The girl blushed, slightly avoiding his gaze," T-Thank you, sir." He smirked at her, putting the glass to his lips," Dazai is fine. Can I catch your name, Love?"

" (Y/N) (L/N)."
" Well, (Y/N) dear, what's a beautiful woman like you doing here in a bar like this?"

(Y/N) chuckled," Well, I am here for work. That's that. The other reason, I guess I cannot say." She moved her hand on the countertop, standing in front of the man. He pulled her hand in his," My~ such a soft hand." The girl felt her face get hotter," Um... D-Dazai?" The man hummed and looked at her. " Why exactly are you here?," she stammered.

" Well, I've heard from a friend about this bar that was recently bought out by the mafia. I was curious to taste a drink or two. Now, I'm even more curious about you.," he flirted, making the girl feel a lot more shy. She attempted to calm herself down," Well, I'm flattered. I'm curious about you as well, mr. executive."

Dazai's attention went back to the young girls hand. It was so gentle, just the sight of it in his own made him feel oddly calm. " Tell me about yourself, belladonna," he said in an attempt to make her feel flustered once again. She felt herself get scared, but brushed it off," Not until you tell me about yourself too."

" You're an interesting one, belladonna," he chuckled to himself," How about we strike a deal?" She lit up," I'm listening." " I have quite the passion of suicide," he continued," When you do tell me why you're working for the mafia, I will tell you why I have such a passion. In the meantime, I won't even mention a slight thought of it. As for you, you have to stay working in the mafia."

" Seems quite easy. I accept.," she immediately responded. He chuckled," A mafia job isn't simply just easy. There's no way you're not scared out of your mind." The girl shook her head," Well, I can't simply just say why I'm here, as you did say, I'm an interesting one. I'm not scared."

He hummed," Well then, it's quite an easy deal for me as well. Until the time comes, my belladonna." He placed a chaste kiss on her hand," Such a lovely hand." Money was placed down on the counter that Dazai had pulled from his coat. He took a couple steps towards the door, hearing (Y/N) mumble to herself," My belladonna has a nice ring to it."

He chuckled to himself.

Cute...

" Chuuya!," (Y/N) exclaimed, pulling the man out of his thoughts," Come help us!!! I want to get rid of it all today!" He put his glass of wine down," Ok, ok. Hand me a some."

What a strange couple...
