Code: Execute

Code: Lunch 1.0

"Oh, that's easy!  I was trying to kill myself in the river, and he saved me.  Such heroism!"

She rolled her eyes before giggling and saying, "Why do you want to die so much?"

He smirked and held a finger to her mouth before saying, "According to the rules it's my turn to ask the question!  You made the rules, why can't you follow them?"

(Y/n) simply smirked and said, "Is that your question?"

Dazai smirked in return before saying, "Of course not, my question is from when you unknowingly explained that you'd joined the Agency on the pretense that you wouldn't have to fight anyone.  Did you fight a lot in the past?"

[Y/n] became downcast once again before saying, "I'd rather not answer that question...  Can you pick a different one?"

The brunette nodded slightly before leading the girl down a smaller side road and saying, "Of course.  Again, I don't mean to pry, I'm simply trying to get to know you better.  I like to get to know lovely women such as yourself. Instead of that question, why don't you tell me about your ability?  How does that sound?"

She scrunched her eyebrows a bit before softly saying, "My ability is very unique and— versatile?  I think that is the word I'm looking for.  It's called Code: Execute for an unfortunate reason, but I can do a lot of good with it. Basically, I can make codes that can somewhat affect the physical environment around me, but sometimes I have to be touching the things to effect them.  You've seen parts of it when I used a recovery code on Atsushi to get him to wake up, it really just sends a few electric signals to his brain that says, wake up!  I mainly use my database code, the one you can see when I use it.  Database is allows me to track bugs, listen in on bugs I've set around the city, and even copy and paste small objects, like the mask I wore the other day.  There's a lot more I can do, but it would take me a while for me to explain them all to you, and you probably aren't interested in them anyway.  Sorry if I was babbling about it, I just can't think of a good way to summarize it's functions."

Dazai led her to a small doorway off to the side of the small street and held the door for her before he said, "I enjoyed it very much, and I don't mind hearing more.  After all, we have time to chat over the meal."  She smiled softly before saying, "Thank you for your interest in me, though I still believe there is a reason behind this interest." 

She walked through the door and down a small stairwell before Dazai caught up and lead her to a booth on the corner and sat across from her. 

When they sat down, Dazai used his hands to prop up his head before saying, "I really don't mind, please tell me more."

She smiled a bit and tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear and saying, "Well, if you insist... umm, I can negate abilities with a code, I did it to that Akutagawa kid, and I can also search anything on the internet. Oh,  I also have some rather offensive codes that I don't use anymore, one of which is Code: Execute, it was what the Special Operations Unit used to define my powers, not my database. Those offensive codes, they were from a dark part of my past that I'd rather not remember though, yet I just had to be identified by that terrible code..."

He had a hunch as too who she might have been in a past time of her life just after her simple display yesterday in the alley.  It wasn't her abilities that gave it away, it was her words.  She'd used the words "code" to use her abilities, and there was once a bounty on the black market for a woman with an ability similar to hers.  She might be worth a handful of cash if she was who he believed her to be, and that's not good.

"Dazai?"

He'd zoned back I to the conversation before saying, "Oh, sorry.  I was lost in thought."

She mimicked his position and rested her chin on her hands before saying, "What would you like to drink?"

Dazai took notice of the waitress standing by the table and saying, "Dazai-san, you're never here this early we're honestly surprised to see you, and with a girl none the less."

The woman had a bit of an icy edge to her voice when she mentioned the presence of (Y/n), and it made her suddenly find interest in the menu on the table in front of her.  She moved her hand to rest on her cheek as if to make a small wall between her and the waitress with the cold tone. 

She must like him...  She must think we're on a date too...  Dazai, you big idiot, now I'm uncomfortable.

That thought made (Y/n) a little uncomfortable and a little sad.  Though, it's not as if she had some sort of claim over Dazai, maybe just for this mean since she was his guest/captive.  But, she didn't have any right to feel entitled to him since she wasn't his significant other.  Now that she thought about it, this poor man would probably not be able to find any significant other with his strange antics and suicial tendencies.

Dazai saw the subtle actions of the testy waitress and he saw (Y/n)'s subtle movements of her hand and it bugged him.  So, he thought of a quick way to make her smile, and to make the waitress feel like garbage.

Dazai smiled and motioned to (Y/n) who was looking over the menu before he said, "I found a lovely woman who actually agreed to go on a date with me.  It's hard to find such a wonderful and beautiful woman in this town.  Honestly, she surprised me when she agreed after all my begging."

The waitress seemed a bit upset by these words and she said, "Drinks?"

He smiled and said, "Two whiskeys on the rocks for now.  Thanks!"

The waitress walked away and Dazai spared a glance at (Y/n) who was using her menu to hide her face from him now.  He had a feeling she was hiding a fierce blush from him, so he leaned over the table and pushed the menu down and said, "(Y/n) dear, you really shouldn't hide that face of yours.  It's too cute when you blush."

She gently pushed his hand away before saying "I bet you say that to all the girls."

"Only the ones who let other women talk down to them because those are the ones who need to hear it the most."
