quicksand (Dazai X Reader)

parents

We were back at the office. It's my first day of being a free woman and all I want to do is lay on the cold floor and not exist. My head is pounding and my eyes hurt, this hungover has lasted more than it should. My face is resting on my desk, I could hear Kenji ask me something but all I hear is a ringing in my ears. Kunikida is trying to work but I could see he is wondering if Dazai's fascination with suicide has a point. 

“Kenji-kun, my sweet sweet boy, I am not feeling well, can you go downstairs and bring me tea?” I said and he just smiled while nodding and headed downstairs. 

“You bad mother, getting rid of your child just because you are hungover? I should send child services to your house” Dazai muttered as he too, was laying on his desk, avoiding work and the world.

“Well go on, go talk to that little ball of energy and sunlight” I said sarcastically and Dazai just groaned. 

“I wanna get emancipated, you are the ones that did this to me” Atsushi butted in the conversation, as he was also, laying on his desk in the same conditions as all the adults. 

“Go on then, one less mouth to feed” I said with mockery and sarcasm in my voice.

“Oh god, you are so mean, do it again ” Dazai said and I kicked him in the shin. 

The Tanizaki siblings were looking at us with pity, they were the only ones that didn't go to the pub, they stayed behind doing whatever, we don't want to know. 

“Happy freedom I guess” Jun'ichiro said, scratching his head and I just lifted my thumb up.

“Are we really free? Nothing matters when you are in a constant state of suffering, just chained up with invisible strings in this horrible play called life” I said in a morose and over dramatic tone. 

“I am so attracted to you right now” Dazai said in a very suggestive tone, I laughed in surprise. Atsushi gagged. 

The door opened suddenly and violently, we all raised our faces to see who was the one entering the office with such determination. It was only Ranpo. We all let our heads fall back into the desk. 

“What are you doing? Your parents will be here in any minute” He asked casually as he walked towards his desk. I raised my head once again, now in confusion. 

“What?” I whispered. 

“Oh shit, no, no, no, they were supposed to be here at night what” Dazai started to mumble as he took out his laptop and started to write something in it, looking worried. 

“You didn't think your parents were going to come when you obtained your freedom? Especially since you actively ignored them through these two years.” Ranpo's voice was almost sarcastic, now I get why so many people wanted to beat him up. 

“They are entering the building, oh no” Dazai said, as he stood up, then held his head as if in pain. I stood up and faced him.

“They are going to want to go to my apartment” I said, fear in my voice. 

“And what about it? Is it messy?” Atsushi asked, not knowing the seriousness of the issue. 

“What about it? It's full of Dazai's things, and clothes, and sake bottles, oh my god, there are even pictures of us together on display!” I started to walk around, Dazai started to bite his nails while thinking.
