White Lily (Dazai Osamu x gn! Reader)

Elise

Is it the pain you're really afraid of, though? Or perhaps your fear is more directly of Dazai...? Hm.

You shake your head at your thoughts. It's not a threat this time. You just give your blood and that's that.

"Okay fine, Mori. I'll give you a donation of my blood. It's not like I have much of a choice anyway, right?"

He chuckles and folds his fingers into one another as usual. "Good to know we're in agreement."

You sigh softly. You had different expectations from today's meeting. That's for sure. You were expecting him to hand you some sort of mission or maybe even even to fire you. (Though that second one may have been too go to be true.) A question weighs on your mind as a result of your curiosity.

"Mori, can I ask you something? What is your idea behind studying my blood?"

The man thinks on it a moment. However, the expression on his face says he doesn't care to tell you all that much.

"Let's just say, if my hypothesis is correct, the Port Mafia may have acquired a very special weapon."

Mori's expression goes crazed. His eyes widen along with his usually much more controlled grin. Whatever the full extent of Mori's idea may be, it must excite him almost as much as dressing up Elise.

Woah. Okay then...?

"I see then. Thank you." You tell him. Mori then waves a hand gently at you.

"That's all I needed. Bye now, (Y/n)."

"Bye." You turn around quickly and walk out. There's no need to loiter in this place. Calmly, you close the door behind you as you fall into deep thought.

You ponder on the question of whether Mori's request will be something that yields good results or if it'll be something that further restricts you...In either case, you must say you are actually interested in hearing about what he discovers. If it happens to be bad...well, you'll figure it out if that time comes.

Note to self: Try not to make your 'Great Escape' from the Port Mafia before getting those results.

"Well, someone's daydreaming~"

"What???"

"Hi there, (Y/n)!"

（＾ν＾）

Dazai greets you with a funny smile. He's dressed the same as he always is: black coat, black pants, white button up, everything. You notice the fresh blood stains on his outfit. They were tiny splatters that ran across his waist up to his chest.

"Eh-?! You're here?" You ask as your normally annoyed or indifferent tone with him gets forgotten completely.

"I'd say it almost sounds like you don't want to see me."

Nope. No freaking way. No. Nuh-uh. Nah. Ahem*

"No way, really???" You blink dramatically and innocently, driving home the sarcasm in your tone.

"Aw. How cruel."

As always, Dazai shrugs off your cold responses. Oh well. You'll get under that skin of his one day. And you're gonna savor every moment of it when it arrives.

A brief moment of silence falls between you and Dazai. It truly is short though, as Dazai filled in the silence quickly.

"Meeting with Mori?"

You nod, "Yeah." Dazai responds with a soft chuckle.

"I see...What about?"

There's genuine curiosity in his tone. It's almost...innocent the way he asked.

"Oho? For once you don't know what's happening?"

"My, (Y/n). Now who said that?" Dazai's genuine curiosity turned into a playful sarcasm. A smirk formed on your face. Mirth spread from the creases of your mouth and reached to the edges of your eyes.

"I know I'm right. Ha!"

"Oh fine fine~ You got me. I truly have no clue what you and Mori met about."

"Hey-So you do know."

"Your blood, yes? Well, have fun with that (Y/n)~If you're sCaReD I'll be right there with you to hold your hand." Dazai says with a devious grin.

Man. You thought you had him- Welp. Nothing to say. It's still Dazai we're talking about here after all...

"As if." You retort to him. You puff up your cheeks childishly. Hm...your own behavior kind reminds you of Elize? Dang it-

"Wow.~ How adorable. You're like a little kid."

"Shut up."

He laughs teasingly. It's a little more than his mischievous chuckle, but it's still reserved in its own way.

"No can do this time. I've got to fill you in on something."

On instinct, your senses sharpen hearing this. While Dazai sounds nonchalant, he sounds like he's got something more substantial to say now.

"Fill me in? What for?"

"Get ready (Y/n). We've got a job tonight."
