quicksand (Dazai X Reader)

“So, do we both agree on this plan then? No fighting?” I asked, pointing a finger at Dazai, trying to convince him into no more late night yelling.

“Yeah, yeah, no fighting” He answered sarcastically, rolling his eyes. 

“Stop being sassy!” I said, slapping him in the arm. 

“Oh wow, just ask me not to breathe then” Dazai continued on his dramatic fit while I made my way to the conference room door, opening it and watching all the people outside on their desks fake that they are working.

“Everybody come in now!” I announced, and the members rushed their way into the room taking their seats.

Dazai and I have been here almost all morning, planning how to make the best use of our situation. As the members of the Agency arrived in the morning I handed them my report so they would know the lucky meeting I had with Emanuel, and so, a new plan had to be made. 

I kept noticing Kyoka and Atsushi talking a lot and making weird faces at Dazai and I, but they were different faces. They looked at Dazai with frowns on their faces and they looked at me like a wet kitten. 'Oh no' I thought. 

“Hey honey we should first-” I tried to tell Dazai but he started the meeting without letting me warn him about the questions or remarks that could happen.

“So let's start! Since you all have read, we have another source of information, Emanuel Lange. He approached our lovely member in a café and had been texting since then. It seems that something will happen in three days, because neither Emanuel nor Cassandra can meet with us on that specific day, so there is a possibility that the transaction is going to happen then.” Dazai said, acting more serious than usual, which was kind of freaking everyone out, but I was more focused on the two fake siblings and their little mad faces. The browned haired detective nudged me with his elbow to signal something to me. 

“Oh, yeah, um- we were thinking of going out with them, separately of course. Me with Emanuel and Dazai with Cassandra, tomorrow and getting all the information we have, also placing a tracking device on them so we can know where they are.” I said while stumbling some words out of distraction.

“That way we can ambush them, and they will not see it coming, easy peasy and then I can finally go back to doing nothing!” Dazai said, lifting his arms in joy, celebrating his almost done work. 

“You shouldn't look so happy” Kyoka blurted out with a big frown on her face.

“Kyoka, bunny don't…” I started to whisper to her to deescalate the situation that was about to begin.

“Huh?” Dazai looked confused at her statement, he and Kyoka ain't that close, they rarely pass time alone, whenever they are together it is because Atsushi is there. 

“Is something going on? Did you do something to her, Dazai?” Yosano asked, kind of already pissed. 

“What? No, I never pull pranks on the younger kids” He said, defending himself from Yosano who somehow already got a knife in her hand.

“Kyoka it's fine really, let's talk about it outside” I said to the younger girl but her stare was burning holes in Dazai's face, not really listening to me. And of course the whole Agency wanted the drama.
