quicksand (Dazai X Reader)

bicycle

We headed to a train station where we left the car parked nearby. Dazai bought some tickets and we got into the train. We haven't really talked about anything, we have just been holding hands and he has been playing with my rings.

It was comforting having someone I could have physical contact with, not in a sexual way but platonic, I am a very touchy person, back home I held my friends hands, hug them or held their arm. The culture here is different and you have to respect that. Luckily people in the Agency were getting more comfortable with that, especially the younger ones, Atsushi, Kenji and Kyoka. Dazai has always been an exception, I have this theory he is actually touch starved, he was a victim of a violent environment, he never talks about his life before the Mafia, he is used to receiving touch in exchange of giving it back. But I just like the platonic touch.

"Can I sleep?" I asked him in a soft voice. I was tired.

"Stop asking for permission to do basic things, people are looking at me like I hit you because of the black eye" He said complaining.

"Well you did give me this black eye!" I said in a slightly louder tone, just to fuck with him. People did turn around and gave him a dirt look.

"Stooop it, shhh just go to sleep" He said, whining and pushing my head on his shoulder. I fell asleep.

"Hey wake up, we are here" Dazai shaked me a little bit to wake me up.

"Five more minutes" I complained but stood up.

We were in a small town in Fukui, it was late at night still, it was cold but not that cold. Dazai made some calls and texted some people. I liked it when he was all serious and actually did his work. He then threw the phone on the ground and stepped on it then threw it in the trash.

We started talking till we reached the end of the town.

"Okay so there is a bus but it's going to take like 2 hours for it to arrive. So let's start thinking about games to play. I start, you can tell me all the awesome things you like about me-" He started rambling and I had no time for his shit today.

"Why don't we just rent some bikes and get it over with?" I said, still sleepy.

"No. Okay new game, you tell me your favorite moments with me-" I didnt even let him finish when I got close to the bike station and took out my card, but it was swiped out of my hand by the stupid lanky man.

"I said no." He looked at me frowning.

"Why not? It's easier that way, you said the house isn't that far so-" I didn't finish my sentence because he made a weird face and turned around so he couldn't face me, his ears are red.

"I don't know how to ride a bike" He whispered, still with his back facing me.

"Well ride in one bike, I'll drive, It's not a big deal" I said in a carefree tone, but I wanted to laugh honestly, not because he didn know how to ride a bicycle, but because he was embarrassed by it. We love to see it.

"I said no, the knights are supposed to lead the horse with the damsel clinging to him, not the other way around!" He yelled, crossing his arms, and I bet he is puffing his cheeks, I really wanted to laugh.

"Ya estuvo y siéntese, fuck those gender roles, this damsel is driving" I told him while getting the bike and getting on it, waiting for him to turn around and stop bieng a baby. ('Ya estuvo y sientese' means 'enough, and just sit down')

"Don't get political with me, you know I am an anarchist" He said apathetically, he let out a small yell in annoyance, but got in the back part of the bike and held onto my waist.
