quicksand (Dazai X Reader)

target practice

Another two months have passed since the drunk incident. Dazai and I were kind of ignoring it, we have never talked about anything that happened that day, and he has been kind of busy with his work and me with mine. I was now interviewing more people and giving psychological assistance to victims or people who came to the Agency for help.

I had been training with the President also, my body is full of bruises and scratches, but I enjoyed it, the President was a strict man when it came to teaching, I don't think I have grown stronger but I was hella flexible now, we were training me to fight smart not just pure force.

I also was learning from Yosano, so that I could help people when she is not there, just basic stuff like how to suture, stop bleedings, how to put an IV on or a blood transfusion, I wasn't gonna operate no one soon but I could keep them alive until she gets there.

I felt more comfortable.

I felt like I was doing things better, even the President gave me a metal staff that's retractable so I can carry it in my purse or pocket. He is going to teach me how to handle swords and small knives too. He trusts me not to get myself or other's killed so that's something.

Also now that I know how to suture, the Agency members let me practice on them, not because they trust me, but because they fear Doctor Yosano.

Everything's been fine.

I haven't seen cabernet boy for a while. I kept coming to the same bar to see if he was there but nothing much, I even asked the bartender and said he's a regular but his and my schedule don't align. I even bribed him to not say a word to the ginger man out of embarrassment.

"He has asked for you too" was all he said as he disappeared with his 20 dollar bill.

But I am a clever woman, and so we started a little game, I left things for him, he left things for me, along with notes sometimes. We left them with the bartender and picked them up when we could.

He bought me cat related things, I bought lion related things to him, I had to make him a note saying he was not allowed to buy expensive things because, man, this boy had money, and all I had is a twenty that went to the bartender.

"What am I going to get today?" I whispered to myself while looking out the window, a spot I took from Dazai. Well we shared but I had physically pushed him out of it.

"You won something?" Speaking of the devil himself, Dazai was standing in front of me casually laying on the wall looking down at me.

"Mmm mind your own business" I said as a joke.

"You've been acting weird lately" he said while turning his eyes to the window.

"Weird how?" I asked, of course I know how weird it is but I just want to know what he thinks.

"You are kind of aloof, distracted, thinking of something, I don't mean it at work, you are focused, more confident in what you do and how you do it, but there's something more going on isn't there?" He said softly but I could hear some bitterness in his voice. His eyes were dark and serious despite him wearing a friendly smile.

"Don't fucking act like this with me, Osamu" I whispered to him in a serious tone.

"I am not one of the guys you investigate, we are not in an interrogation room, so don't treat me like I'm under investigation" I got up and got out of the office, I heard him following me so I ignored him and went to the cafe downstairs.

I took a seat on one of the tables and he sat in front of me. We were just staring at each other.

"Don't you have work to do? Kunikida is gonna get pissed at you." I told him I was being sarcastic.
