5+1 times someone thought they knew dazais past profession

Ranpo

The detectives were used to Dazai randomly chatting up chicks. He always 'flirted' with them as he called it, but it was really just him offering a double suicide.

Which is why when Dazai and Ranpo went to go get sweets and they ran into girls that knew Dazai, Ranpo wasn't suprised. Or Atleast he wasn't at first, but then he started to really listen to their conversation.

"Our art teacher told us about all of your paintings last semester. Have you made any new pieces recently? We've tried looking into it but haven't found them. Are you on hiatus?" Asked the short blond haired girl. The other girl nodded eagerly, in hopes of receiving an answer."I'm actually a detective now,so I haven't been painting as much. Who knows, if I get some new inspiration I might." Shrugged the man.

The two woman looked extremely disappointed. Dazai smirked. "I do have one last painting, it wasn't released though..."started the man slowly. The two girls eyes lit up faster then he could even say 'artist'. The blond haired girl started speaking seconds later, her friend joining in.

"Really!! What's it called?"
"If it's anything like 'no longer human' or 'for the tainted sorrow' I'm sure it's amazing. "
"Can we see it?"

Dazais eyes widened In surprise. The man was in no way an artist, or Atleast he never thought of himself as one. The only reason he got into art was because of some stupid gala he went to In France with Mori. He had decided to take up painting soon after as a means to cope. Which of course led to several paintings  based off of a certain few mafioscos abilities.

Dazai didn't even mean to gain his popularity in the art world. He had given one of his paintings to a rich Ally of the port mafia(the one based on moris ability because he didn't like that painting) and the man had told his rich friends of dazais work. They all tried to buy some more of
Dazias paintings afterwords. Mori made him make them based off of their ability's.

Since most of the Allys died, their paintings were sold to other rich people with no connection to the port mafia. Those people spread the word and his paintings prices and popularity sky rocketed. Many rich people were soon trying to get Tsushima shujis paintings. The paintings were all named/based on ability's, not that his purchasers knew that.

He in total sold 15 paintings, that's including the ones he created for the Allys. Out of all the paintings he created in his port mafia days, the only ones he kept were called 'no longer human' 'for the tainted sorrow' 'rashomon' 'golden demon' and finally 'dainty little girl'. the one based on gin was the only one not
Named after an ability seeing as the girl didn't have one. He had considered not making her one, but her pure strength made up for the lack of the ability, so he called it Dainty little girl instead.

He of course had since then made more paintings based off of his co-workers but he didn't plan on releasing them any time soon. He liked to keep the ability themed paintings of those close to him private. Even if he didn't talk to any of the four mafioscos anymore, they still held a special place in his heart.

Plus he had made around 3 million dollars for each painting. ( Forty million total) so he didn't exactly need any more money. Especially since he also had his money from his other past profession.

The paintings from the port mafia and the ada all sat in Dazais apartment. It's a five bedroom apartment, the rooms all have different uses. The main one being his painting room, where he keeps the paintings. He surprisingly doesn't paint In that room despite its name. Dazai pretty much just paints anywhere.

Dazai had been a bit spaced out so the blondie moved her hand Infront of his face. "Are you okay?" Worried the girl as she placed her arm on his shoulder. He smiled brightly in reply. "Yes! Sorry i spaced out a bit there." Laughed the man.

The two women looked concerned but didn't say anything. Dazai pulled out his phone to show the painting. He based it off of fyodors ability, he didn't ask for permission but he was sure the man wouldn't care. If anything fyodor would probably want to purchase it.

"Here, this is called crime and punishment." Said Dazai as he showed them the photo on his phone. The brunette grabbed the phone excitedly out of his hand. "It's amazing! The colours are so vibrant. How do you come up with the names for your paintings? It's not something you've ever answered to the press before." Exclaimed blondie.

"Oh the ideas just come to me." Answered Dazai, causing Ranpo to chuckle. Dazai looked over at the shorter man, haven forgotten about him.

The girls noticed that Dazai was with someone so they got a signature to give their teacher before leaving.

"You are one of the few people I can't read, I never wouldn't guessed that your secret last profession was as a famous painter." Laughed the super detective. He went up and ordered two cinnamon buns at the counter before sitting down next to Dazai. "If you show me your paintings of the ADAs ability's I'll keep this a secret." Offered up ranpo.

Dazai, Agreed seeing as he was in a right position. "Sure, we can head to my apartment after this. I'm sure kunikida won't care if we are a few minutes late back from lunch," said Dazai as he grabbed the cinnamon bun off the table.

Once they made it to dazais apartment Ranpo was delightfully suprised. Ranpo knew he was an artist but He didn't know how famous the man was. Which is why he was shocked of the size of dazais apartment. It was humongous.

Dazai didn't say anything as he took
His shoes off and gestured for Ranpo to do the same. The two detectives walked into the painting room. Each of the paintings had curtains covering them, for situations like this. Dazai only lifted the curtains on the ADA members.

He made one for everyone including Ranpos fake ability. Ranpo looked at each of them for only 30 seconds each, he never had been one to appreciate art.

"Cool, lets go back to the office now." Said Ranpo before leaving the room. "How did you get into painting? And why name them after ability's?" Asked Ranpo.

"Ability's are magnificent, they are pure power and energy so I thought why not put it into art form. Of course none of the people who buy my paintings know what they're based off of." Replied Dazai. They went downstairs and back to the agency. Ranpo never asked about the covered paintings, and he never asked about the other rooms. The two men went back to their everyday life, as though the reveal hadn't happened.

Ranpo discovered dazais so called secret past profession, now all he had to find out was the secrets behind the mans bandages
