It all started when Dazai and Blaise were having dinner at their home.
They were having crab and salad today, like most of the days, the salad so Dazai would be healthy enough and at least eat something.
Blaise was really considerate when it came to Dazai and his eating habits. And Dazai really appreciates this, he really does, but what he appreciates the most is how Blaise understands when he cannot eat and if he forces himself to, he'll get sick.
As a result, they were having crab and salad, two of the foods that didn't make Dazai nauseous by just looking at them, crab was his favorite food after all.
“Hey love?” Dazai felt his heart skip a beat at the nickname. Even after all this years, this man could get the worst out of him.
“Yes Blaise?” Dazai ignored how he could feel almost black eyes searching for his.
“Are you ever going to tell your colleagues about our relationship?” Asked Blaise after a couple of seconds
Dazai remained in silence for a couple of minutes. He knew that soon or later he would ask, but didn't really think about what he would reply. Dazai thought about it for a while before replying to Blaise.
“ I'm obviously going to, eventually. But I want to make it dramatic, you know? It's been a while since I've pranked Kunikida and I'm pretty sure he's been missing me, so~ “
Blaise had a fond smile planted in his face as he listened to his husband rant about his work and how he loved to prank his teammates. Even after years of being married to the ‘Demon student’ he couldn't seem to regret his decision.
They married after Dazai left the mafia. Blaise was glad that even when Dazai was being searched for, he trusted the gang enough to feel safe with them and trusted Blaise and told him what had happened in all these years they hadn't seen each other and how Oda's death broke him. He confessed that he had always reminded him of Blaise and that he was one of the few people who understood him and how he realized that he couldn't live without Blaise and couldn't afford to lose him too.
At that moment Blaise fell in love all over again.
He had been exchanging letters with Dazai at some point but he never really shared what was going on there.That made Draco and Blaise worry for him, since they were the only ones in the gang who knew what kind of environment he was living in. And it seemed that Lucius only had business with DOE so he never shared any news of Dazai with Draco.
When he came back to them nobody could control the tears that came out of their eyes when they were holding each other. Nobody mentioned that moment ever again.
Their wedding was a small celebration, with only the gang, Snape and Blaise's parents, that somehow managed to love Dazai as their son's husband.
In the present, they are living in an apartment, not so close but not far from the agency so Dazai doesn't have any problems arriving there, even though every time he wakes up to go to work, he ends up having cuddles with Blaise until they realize how late it is.
Blaise has a nice cafe where he sells every cake he learned to make. He found out his talent for baking a couple of years ago and couldn't stop doing so he ended up having a job he loves.
“Oh well, I don't know what else to expect from you. So, what do you wish to do?”
Blaise grabbed Dazai's hand as they looked at eachother with mischief.
--------------
It was a normal day at the agency.
Well, except for the fact that Dazai ACTUALLY ARRIVED ON TIME TO WORK AND WAS DOING HIS REPORTS?!
Atsushi could see from his desk how Kunikida was watching with his mouth agape while debating if he should turn suicidal himself. He decided to grab his notebook to write something probably about Dazai.
About an hour or two after Dazai arrived to the office they all had a meeting without him to discuss what was happening.
—-----
They all stared at each other in silence before Yosano broke the silence.
“So, we all have our theories, right?”
They all nodded in agreement.
“Ok? I'm waiting for you guys to share them, the greatest detective of the world doesn't have all the time in the world!” Exclaimed Ranpo
“Perhaps it is a new suicide method? I've heard somewhere that suicidal people tend to be happier before commiting suicide “ mused Tanizaki, finally being relaxed, since Naomi couldn't come to the agency that day.
“I sure hope that is not the case, taking care of Dazai is not an easy task, and with how bad his eating habits are, I wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly collapsed.” commented Kunikida
“Yeah, but every time I tell him to come to the infirmary to get a check-up he always manages to escape.” sighed Yosano
“All of your theories are so depressing… What if he found someone and.. and is trying to be a better man for them?” asked shyly Atsushi.
Everyone stared in silence at Atsushi as if he had grown two heads. He knew it was probably not the case but it wasn't that unbelievable. Right?
“Listen, I know you really look up to Dazai, but we've known him for 4 years and he never had any interest into anyone except for flirting with women to then break their hearts saying he was joking. Even if he found someone, that waste of bandages will never change.” replied Kunikida
“You're right… But I wished he found someone who made him happy. Even though he has his flaws, Dazai-san deserves it.”said Tanizaki
“You're right, Dazai-san is a good person after all- agreed Atsushi with a fond smile on his face- he did saved me not so long ago”
Yosano sighed loudly before turning to Ranpo.
“You know what is happening, don't you?”
“Yes, but it's more fun to watch you try to figure it out.”
“Why do geniuses need to be so annoying…” stated Yosano in disbelief before everyone sighed in agreement.
At the end, they all agreed to take the matter into their own hands and investigate why Dazai was acting so peculiarly. Most of them were just curious but others like Kunikida didn't want to admit that so he just said it was for ‘Dazai’s well-being ‘.
--------
Blaise and Dazai were changing their clothes in silence in their room, getting ready to sleep as they both had a productive day. They were thinking about multiple things but they truly just wanted to kiss and cuddle until they fell asleep.
They finished changing and got into the bed, trying to find any comfortable position. When they finally managed to stay put, Blaise planted a kiss on Dazai’s forehead.
“Sweetheart?” Dazai whispered
“Yes, Osamu?” Blaise whispered back
“Soon it's gonna be our anniversary, what should we do to celebrate?”
“I was thinking about inviting the gang over to eat at some fancy restaurant, we both know Draco won't accept anything else”
“Yeah…That would be nice” mumbled Dazai while snuggling closer to his husband
“Dazai” said Blaise
“Mhmm…”
Blaise separated himself from Dazai to grab his chin to force him to look at him. Like that, he could appreciate the blush that grew on Dazai's soft skin.
“Be a good boy and look at me, will you baby?” Dazai's eyes were wide from the nickname, and well, he always had a thing for praise ”Are you ok?”
Dazai smiled at his husband's concerned look and got closer to join their lips together. Kissing with Blaise always felt like watching fireworks for the first time. His heart always skipped a beat, or even a few more. Blaise was like a drug to Dazai, and he was addicted to it.
“Yes” mumbled Dazai between kisses
Blaise continued to kiss Dazai everywhere he could. On his lips, his jaw, his forehead and even his eyes.
Things started to escalate as he went for Dazai's neck. Dazai sighed from pleasure as he felt Blaise leaving love bites on his neck and kissed them again, and again, and again.
Blaise suddenly stopped and put himself face to face with Dazai, who was watching him with sleepy eyes and a blushed face. He stroked his cheek before kissing it and whispering an ‘I love you’ in his ear.
They both fell asleep holding each other.
—---
The next morning, Dazai was brushing his teeth when he noticed how he looked in the mirror. He never liked mirrors, they always felt like a reminder of how disgusting he was, but like this, showered in Blaise's marks? He couldn't help but feel proud of looking that way.
So at the end, he loosened up his neck bandages so they would be more visible. He snickered to himself as he thought of how his coworkers would react. He changed his pajamas into his work attire and went over to the kitchen.
When he arrived there, he found Blaise cooking breakfast for both of them. As Blaise noticed him he smiled at him and handed him a plate with a toast and an egg.
Dazai looked at the clock and noticed he was going to be late, that would for sure ruin his plans.
He went and sweetly kissed Blaise good-bye.
“Sorry love, I'm late for work so I gotta go.” he explained
“Don't worry honey, but at least take a toast with you for breakfast. We don't want you starving, do we?” replied Blaise as he gave him the toast
Dazai sighed but grabbed the toast anyways. He waved goodbye to his dear husband and went off to the agency.
—----
Atsushi was throwing daggers at Dazai with his eyes. Which didn't really surprise him, since he had the same reaction when he said Sasaki had slept at his dorm. Which she did, but he was sleeping with his husband at the time.
“Atsushi?” asked Dazai
That seemed to take Atsushi out of his trance, as he slightly jumped on his seat.
“Yes Dazai-san?” asked Atsushi, a little bit nervous.
“It’s anything bothering you?”
“O-oh! I-its just that…you know…”
“Just that what At~su~shi~kun?”
They were interrupted as Yosano slammed her hand on Dazai's desk. Dazai was surprised by that, he didn't see her coming here. She truly was a terrifying woman.
Dazai smiled innocently at her as he tilted his head.
“Yosano-sensei?”
“Dazai, what is. That.” she said, pointing at the hickeys in his neck.
Dazai carefully touched his neck with a smile before speaking
“Oh that? They're love bites Yosano-sensei!” he exclaimed
“Dazai! Don't tell me the night before a Thursday you… brought a poor woman to your dorm!” said Kunikida, who obviously wasn't ears dropping.
He was really lucky Kenji wasn't here, or Kunikida would be scolding him even harder.
“Wha? Kunikida-kuuun~ of course I didn't!”
“Then explain that” yelled Yosano
“Nuh uh! You haven't unlocked that level of my private life yet!”
“Okay, but you'll have to eventually share it, huh?” added Ranpo with a smirk.
“Whatever!”
—----
They all got reunited again without Dazai. They had more information about what was going on with Dazai and they had to discuss it.
“Well, it seems like Atsushi is the one who was most close to what happened, huh?” concluded Tanizaki
Kunikida sighed loudly before replying “I still refuse to believe that that fool has compromised himself with someone other than suicide”
“I still refuse to believe that Dazai isn't gay.”added Yosano
Everyone stared at her with disbelief in their eyes as if she had said that Dazai wanted to live.
“What? He gives me the vibes! And I thought my gaydar was pretty good…” she said, trying to justify geum people in tcd
“Sometimes I wonder if he really took Sasaki to his home…” contempled Atsushi
—----
Everyone was in silence at the office when without any warning, the president entered the office.
“Dazai”
Dazai quickly got on his feet to get closer to the president and respectfully bowed before raising his head to look at the president.
“Yes, president?” asked Dazai with his not playfully but charming smile.
“You asked for a few days off, am I right?”
Everyone, as curious as a cat, silently listened to their exchange of words.
“Indeed, I am having special guests this week and I wish to spend the most time as possible with them” admitted Dazai
“Very well, as long as you continue working like everyday afterwards, you can take off the days you require”
Everyone contempled between going back to work or actually asking Dazai what was that about when Kenji stepped in, to the relief of the others
“Oh! Dazai-san, are you taking a vacation?”
“I wish Kenji-kun, but I’m actually just having a reunion with my childhood friends from England”
“Woah Dazai-san! Do all city people have friends from all over the world?”
Dazai chuckled softly before answering
“No, I don’t think so Kenji-kun, I only have friends from there because I went to school there”
“I didn’t know you spoke english Dazai-san ”
“I learned from when I was in the mafia. So you can, you know, make deals with foreigners”
They kept talking until Yosano entered their conversation.
“It is pretty impressive Dazai, but tell us, when are you going to introduce us to your so-called childhood friends?”
Dazai smiled softly at her while grabbing a paper on his desk and a pen.
“We’ll see, sensei “
They all stared at Dazai as he began writing something on the paper. This continued for a while before he remembered something and had to go ‘home’ early and they all supposed that it was a lie and just went to try new suicide methods.
Dazai huffed to himself as he left the building. He considered himself a very hard working person!
Well…when he wanted to.
But he still is!
Anyways, that’s not something he’s going to worry about now. He has people to invite, you know?
*****
Not so long after, Dazai returned to the agency and everything went back to normal.
Right?
Well, everything was normal. Except for the fact Dazai seemed to have ‘fun’ every night and came with all kinds of ‘bruises’ all over his body.
At this point, no one knew what to believe.
Until Kyoka went over to Dazai to give him a box.
But it wasn’t any box, it was a light blue box, with images of Sakura trees decorating it. Even from here they could see the cake inside of the pretty box.
Dazai gave her a confused look before his bows slightly went up and extended his arms to grab the box. Kyoka quietly handed him the box before walking over to Atsushi’s desk and sitting beside him.
Ranpo, upon seeing the cake, hurried over Dazai’s desk in order to check the cake. After inspecting the cake, he turned to Dazai.
“Wow, you must have them really bad, huh?”
A blush creeped on Dazai’s face as he nodded with a fond smile on his eyes.
To the surprise of everyone, the next person to approach Dazai was Kunikida. As he got closer to inspect the cake, his eyes grew wide open.
“Someone wrote ‘you didn't use your earring today’ on a cake for you?” Asked Kunikida with an uncomfortable look before continuing “is this about a stalker again? Last time it got out of control and ended up sending you a bomb”
Atsushi made an estranged sound at that.
“My, Kunikida, why do you think it’s a stalker?”
“Well, that does seem to be something not everyone would notice” interrupted Yosano while pointing at the message written on the cake.
“Then I’ll have you know that I indeed know who sent this cake, and it is not a stalker” huffed Dazai
“As long as you know what you're doing…” murmured Kunikida before going back to his desk to continue with his work.
*****
Dazai happily entered his shared apartment when he noticed the sweetest smell coming from the kitchen. He excitedly went over to the kitchen to find his beautiful husband making tea.
His favorite tea.
Dazai walked towards him Blaise to embrace his neck with his arms, to which he responded by grabbing his waist. They stared at each other with nothing but love in their eyes before Dazai broke the silence.
“Hi”
“Hello, how was your day?”
“Good…”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah...my day was good”
They both laughed from the euphoria they were feeling from just being in each other's arms and quickly changed the purpose of their mouths to kissing.
What first started like a soft kiss, escalated to a hungry one. Even though Dazai was the one who leaned first, he let Blaise take the lead. Many would think he liked being in control, and he mostly did, but with Blaise?
He felt safe.
He lets himself be vulnerable around him and he likes doing so.
Blaise raised his hand to Dazai’s left cheek and softly caressed it. He was starting to feel hot. If anyone ever asked him, he would definitely respond that this is what love felt like.
Now Dazai could be himself around his friends and lover without needing to worry about Mori. Not so long ago he threatened him and told him that if he got close to any of his friends, he would regret it.
That old man was a coward when it came to Dazai so that should keep him away from the time being.
After a while of kissing, Blaise moved his attention to look down at Dazai. He started kissing his face; his cheek, where dimples were seen every time Dazai smiled; his ear, Dazai had to hold back a moan just from that and he knew very well that Blaise knew, but he wasn't going to him the satisfaction just yet.
Then, he feels Blaise's breath in his neck and sighs happily to encourage him to do whatever he wants to do.
Blaise kisses every bit of skin as possible. Dazai’s hands are now on his shoulders, gripping him tightly, as if he would disappear if he let go of him. And then, he feels teeth on that particular sensitive place in his collarbone and Blaise bites, which leads Dazai to quite literally moan.
But that does not stop them.
Whatever Blaise was cooking does.
Just when they were about to get into another level, the alarm of Blaise set off and startled them. Blaise quickly got to work and took the muffins out of the oven. Dazai huffed at the sight of them. Did they stop what they had going on just for some…muffins!?
After completely taking the muffins out of the oven, Blaise put his hands on his hips as he stared at them. At least they didn’t get burned.
And then, he feels two familiar arms around his waist. He looks behind him to find his pouting husband.
“Blaiseee, did we really have to stop?”
“Sorry honey, but they would have gotten burned”
“Yeah but…that gives them more flavor, you know!”
Blaise chuckled at his lover’s antics before giving him a kiss on the cheek.
“C’mon, let’s eat dinner and then we can continued our stuff”
*****
Yosano was having a really bad headache. But not any type of headache. A headache named Dazai Osamu.
Now, don’t get her wrong. She loves everyone in the agency, including Dazai. At first she thought they would never get along, but hey, look at them now! She actually enjoys it when they go shopping together. It might not look like it, but Dazai has a really good taste in fashion.
…
If we don’t count his lame excuse for using bandages being “fashion trends”, of course.
But what she’s really worried about, it’s how he has been behaving lately. He seems to be having some…activities outside of work, which doesn’t seem too suspicious, Yosano herself sometimes has her own escapades, but it seems to be that it’s a serious relationship between Dazai and this mysterious stranger he likes to brag about from time to time.
So, with the other agency members, they decided to follow him to make sure he wasn’t going to be hurt.
(Not because they wanted to know more about Dazai’s private life, no, how dare you suggest that)
This mission started like this
*****
Dazai has been complaining about not being able to eat crab, his favorite meal, which seemed rare to his coworkers, since he always brags once a week about the delicious crab he ate at his favorite restaurant.
Which had them thinking, he goes there once a week…and they all know that Dazai would never eat something without having someone there to force him or at least convince him to grab a few bites.
So he must be going there with someone. Someone he trusts and obeys.
So the conclusion was: he was going there with his partner.
And, he and his girlfriend(?) didn’t go last week.
Wow, they could make really good detectives when they wanted to.
So, this Wednesday, they followed Dazai to his home, and there, they waited for him to come out.
*****
About forty minutes later, Dazai came out of his apartment in a dark almost black blue suit, it really suited him. Most of them didn’t once see Dazai dress up for an important situation or meeting, so it was quite a sight for them.
They watched as Dazai looked at the clock on his left wrist and sighed. Then, he went walking to the flower shop that was in the street. He went in and they all saw the way the owner’s eyes lit up as they saw him enter.
They greeted each other happily and the owner handed Dazai a single rose that he kept in his hand. They saw how Dazai gently smelled the flower and smiled fondly at it.
He then hugged the owner (I know. Weird) and called a cab to go to the restaurant.
Of course they were not stupid, they weren’t planning to chase after Dazai to know to which restaurant he was headed to.They had to bribe Ranpo to know. Dazai was a difficult person to chase.
When they arrived there, they had already reserved a table in the restaurant in a place where they could see every table without any problems.
As they arrived, they made sure that Dazai wouldn’t see them and wouldn’t ruin their investigation. They sat on their assigned table and began looking with their eyes for any sight of Dazai.
It was only Atsushi who spotted him in the table in the other corner of the room, clearly waiting for someone. Oh God, did someone stood up Dazai? Dazai, who was cutely super excited for this date? If that was the case, then they would make sure to make them pay.
But then, Dazai suddenly stood up with stars in his eyes and started to wave with his hand at the entrance, where a tall young man, with the sweetest smile, stood.
They all kind of stared with their eyes as open as possible with shock as the couple greeted each other with a kiss after complimenting their outfits.
After waiting for a moment, what Dazai had ordered finally arrived and they both started to enjoy their crab cakes. Hell, Dazai even ate some of the vegetables that came with it!
So, it was clear. This man, by any means, could not be normal. And from that point, they decided to let them have peace and focused on on their own order.
*****
Just after they finished paying, they saw how the couple was leaving, and like the good coworkers they are, they followed them.
Yes, AGAIN.
Surprising literally NO ONE, they didn’t go to Dazai’s apartment next to theirs. Instead, they headed to what seemed to be their shared apartment, only a few blocks away.
They were walking fast ,laughing while holding hands, clearly having fun. They all watched with a soft smile how bright Dazai’s smile was when he looked at his lover.
(I mean, they had to be dating, right?)
As they arrived at the door of their apartment Dazai looked back to the man and suddenly smiled mischievously. Before they could even react, he embraced the neck of the man in front of him with his arms and began to passionately kiss him.
After what felt like 20 minutes (it was hardly 1 minute) the man opened the door to push Dazai inside of their home to only slam the door after.
They all stayed silent before Fukuzawa spoke
“I think that it’s time to go home”
They all looked at each other
“Yeah, that seems right” sighed Yosano
Oh well, as long as their coworker was happy…
And if Atsushi was blushing as if he had a fever after watching that scene, nobody mentioned it.
