"Hurry up slowpoke."

Glancing back to the dark haired boy who trailed behind you, he gave you a dissatisfied scowl. The tips of his hair were white, and he caught up to you, grabbing the hem of your turtleneck as he shoved you back. That's right, after the first day, you began using your normal clothing for assassination. Black turtleneck, white sweatpants, and a black hat with a design at the front of it, ponytail as well.

The boy beside you was Akutagawa, your partner in the Port Mafia. He was stronger than you had initially thought, but you proved to be on equal level when it came to him. It had been a few months since you last joined, and since then you both had gained a mutual respect for each other.

Well sorta-

He acts like an ass half the time anyway.

Both of you were walking in the hallways of the Port Mafia estate, a bright smile on your face as he keeper himself passive. You weren't typically this bright, curtesy to the stress behind having to kill and ace your exams in the same day. However, you'd gotten your exam results from school only a few days ago, and you had gotten high scores.

Having somehow managed the boy to go along with you to the kitchen to grab something to eat in celebration, you yourself didn't even know how you'd done it. Akutagawa was distant almost half the time, he was rude, didn't follow orders, and wouldn't talk with you unless he absolutely had to.

He had stopped trying to get you to go away on his missions after you had rescued him on one. That's a moment you'd often remind him of, just to tease him or remind him that he owed you.

That's right- he'd be dead if I hadn't pitched in.

Almost arriving to the kitchen, you licked your lips at the thought of food. "Hey Akutagawa," you began, receiving a huff from the taller boy as if to state that he didn't want to answer. "What do you plan on eating? I place dibs on the cake- didnt Higuchi get one yesterday?"

"I don't know nor do I care, I'm not eating anything either, it's you who dragged me here for you stupid little celebration anyway." His gave you a scornful look at the last part, and you rolled your eyes, sensing an argument coming. That's right, both you and Akutagawa didn't get along well, so you'd often end up in arguments.

"Maybe you could be a bit nicer? Considering that you haven't even congratulated me yet either-" you punched his shoulder, earning yourself a glare from the boy.

"I don't do nice," he seethed back, and you found yourself getting even more irritated. "We could be on a mission now, but since you're now my partner, I have to babysit you and lose opportunities for work."

"Well then get the commander to separate us both! I wouldn't mind it either yknow-"

Akutagawa stayed silent, and you figured he'd already tried that earlier. However, it was long ago that Mori saw your gift, and he finalized both you and Akutagawa's partnerships, stating that you'd both work well together, or your gifts for that matter. As people, the two of you didn't get along at all.

Who can get along with him anyway...

Two people brushed past you at the exact time your argument ended, and you heard a snicker from behind you. Ignoring the two men who had walked past, you simply scowled, walking faster. However Akutagawa paused, glancing back as one of the men did the same.

I suppose they probably know each other...

You didn't know many people in the organization, just Akutagawa, Higuchi, and the members of the Black Lizard. It's not like you'd been trying to learn all the members part of the organization either, if anything, you tried to avoid them as much as possible.

After all, it was often just them underestimating you.

Ugh, it's so annoying.

"So this is your new partner Akutagawa?" One of the men spoke up, dark brown hair and bandages covering his face, arms, and neck. He looked amused, and casting a look towards you, he looked back to Akutagawa.

Your partner seemed tense, and in almost a robotic voice he responded with. "Yes- for now." You didn't understand why he was so stressed, even if the men were in a higher position, Akutagawa never looked like that, even with the commander.

Already hating the men, you tugged Akutagawa's hand, taking it in your own as you led him away. You weren't too surprised when the man in bandages appeared directly before you, kneeling down to your height with the same amused gaze.

"Y/n, right?"

Giving him a levelled stare, you moved to the side, walking past him. "Yep," you stated lazily, hoping that the man would disappear and go bother someone else.

"Dazai, cmon, they're obviously busy don't be a bother." The other man stated, looking bored and tired of the boys antics.

With a pout, the bandaged man supposedly called Dazai walked back to the other one with a sigh. "You're all so boring," he said with a sigh, and the two of them marched off, leaving you and Akutagawa to stare after them.

Grabbing the boys hand, you led him back towards the kitchen, torn between confusion and plain out irrigation at the two from earlier. "Who were they?" You asked as the two of you got to the kitchen.

"Osamu Dazai and Chuya Nakahara, they're two of the executives, the most powerful duo in the Port Mafia."

His face only darkened, and you rose an eyebrow. "Do they scare you or something?" You asked as you opened the fridge door, peering in with a smile as you noticed the cake was placed on the top shelf. Despite the tag on it that read with big bold letters 'Higuchi', you gingerly took it out, licking your lips at the thought of the flavour.

Hands slamming on the counter beside you, you didn't even flinch, plopping the cake oh the side as you searched around for a plate and knife. "Of course I'm not scared," Akutagawa scowled. "I just... respect one of them, that's all."

Respect?

I'm surprised he even knows the word at all-

You sliced a piece of cake as you set it on your plate, glancing over to Akutagawa and pointing towards it. "You sure you don't want any? It looks really good yknow- besides, Higuchi won't get mad if you ate some too."

Continuing to protest, you eventually grew irritated, stabbing the fork into a piece of the slice you had taken, and shoving it into the boys mouth. He looked surprised to say the least, and that shut him up. Taking the fork back, you bounced out of the kitchen with your cake, happily smiling.

It looks so good too-

Hearing footsteps from behind you, you could only watch in horror as the plate in your hand was slapped away. The cake fell to the ground, and you stood motionless, eyes darkening.

"Baka!"

Turning around briskly to begin hitting the boy with unaimed punches, you hit his chest consistently, watching as he didn't even try to stop you. Amusement laced his features despite having shoved the cake into his mouth earlier. There was still a little bit of the chocolate on his cheek, and with a smirk, you pointed towards him.

"Akutagawa- you got a big blotch of chocolate all over your mouth!" You looked behind you, and comically putting a hand to your chin, you gave him a pretend concerned look. "Not only that- but I think the men from earlier are coming. You don't think they'll mind seeing you with chocolate all over your face, do you?"

Almost immediately, the boy ran down the opposite hall, springing before you had the chance to say anything else. Laughing, you headed the opposite way, stretching out your shoulders.

Ha- can't believe he fell for that.
