Spring had arrived, and that mean more distractions then usual, Everyone want to go outside and enjoy the warmth, The office was more open and lively, the windows was open, Fresh air was blowing in and everyone was chatting about an festival, expect for Kunikida, who was working hard to get ahead of his schedule. The President was bringing them on an outing to the festival, claiming it was good for them to bond, it wasn’t good for his schedule.

Speaking of things that wasn’t good for his schedule, Kunikida glance up at Dazai, only to freeze when he saw his desk was empty, he did an quick look around the office, noticing that Dazai wasn’t anywhere nearby. “why is he like this?” the blonde grab his phone, mentally thanking his past self for putting an tracker on that suicidal idiot, he look at the app and frown, seeing that he was located in the building still. he slid his phone into his pocket.

“Did anyone see where Dazai went?” he asked, but didn’t stick around for an answer, hoping that he haven’t jump from the roof as another attempt, his heart drop as he walk around, doing an quick survey of the area, he glance out the window, making sure that an puddle of Dazai wasn’t on the side walk, he sighed softly, looking around. “god damn it, did he go down to the cafe?” he frowned, going to the door

“Kunikida, wait!” Ranpo yelled, and Kunikida attention snapped to him. “what?-“ he asked with a frown, knowing that Ranpo was about to ask for something. “can you get me some food from the cafe?” some of the other piped up, and he sigh. “who want something?” everyone there had their hand raised. “i’m assuming your usuals, i’ll ask them to bring it up,” he turn on his heel, not hearing Ranpo snickering behind him, he walk downstair, getting to the face. “Dazai!-“ he yelled but stopped when he couldn’t see him, he stalk down the tables, double checking each of them, but he wasn’t there.

“Dazai haven’t come down here,” the waitress said. “When you find him, ask him to paid his tab.” she was wiping some glasses down. “can you get everyone usual ready and sent up?” he asked, the waitress give an curt nodded. “including Yukichi and Dazai?” she asked and an sigh escape his lips. “yes, please.” he paid for it. “i’ll bring it up when it ready, good luck on finding Dazai.”

Kunikida just nodded, his mind wandering to where Dazai was, he frown at the thought of him up on the roof, thinking about jumping, he quickly ran out, going up to the roof but couldn’t find him there, the door was even locked. “where is he?” he stalked down; covering each floor until he got back to the office.

“Kunikida! did you order our food?” Ranpo voice ring out. “Yes, it will be coming up soon, have you seen Dazai?” he asked. “Dazai?” Fukuzawa said, which cause Kunikida to jump slightly, looking at the man who was leaving his office. “He’s in my office, he-“

“Are you kidding me!” he pretty much shrieked, rage bubble up inside of him as he storm past everyone to the office and went to Fukuzawa office, planning to give the other an piece of his mind. “I search high and low, and he was here!- what was he even doin-“ Fukuzawa put his arm out and stop the blonde in his track. “Let’s be quiet now.” He said, the waitress arrived by then with everyone order.

“Sorry President,” He sighed, adjusting his glasses as he glance at the door, he walk over and open it, looking around but couldn’t see Dazai, the couch that was normally press up against the wall was in the middle of the floor, and Fukuzawa’s desk was push to the side, He walk over, preening over the couch to see Dazai’s form, the sun shining down on him, Atsushi, who he notice was gone earlier but didn’t paid much mind was on the floor, both of them was asleep.

if anyone asked, he didn’t smile at the sight. “what an asshole, sleeping on the job.” he lean down, adjusting the blanket that cover Dazai, before turning on his heel, going back to his office.

If the president was okay with it then so was he, it wasn’t everyday that Dazai look peaceful, and maybe he could catch up on his work.

The first time it happened, Fukuzawa wasn’t sure what was going on, he had walk into the office and Dazai was snoring on his couch, the one that he had push up against the wall was moved infront of his windows, where his desk was supposed to be, but it was move to the side, His office had one of the best view in the building, And when the warm weather rolled around, the sun would often beam down into the room.

And it seem like Dazai had figure it out, Fukuzawa look at the sleeping man, who was stretch out on his couch, an arm over the back of the couch and the other on the floor, he wasn’t sure what Dazai remind him of, he push an hand through his hair, sighing to himself.

“Dazai,” he said, trying to keep calm despite the, weird circumstances he found himself in, not even Ranpo was so bold to move his office. The other stir, a small noise escaping his mouth as he stretch, his body wiggling as he open an eye. “go away,” the boy spoke, his voice teething on a whine. “i’m taking an nap.”

“You should be working,” Fukuzawa pointed out, crossing his arms but it had the opposite effort that he wanted, instead of saying sorry, Dazai turn away and buried himself in the couch without a care. “I’m sleepily,” He whined. “Then you should try to sleep before or after work.” But Dazai didn’t answer, he was asleep again, and Fukuzawa blinked in shock. “Dazai,” he tried and the other didn’t even stir, he sighed and push the couch back over to the wall, mindful of Dazai who was clearly pretending to sleep. “this is the only thing you can do this.” he turn to his desk, putting it back to where it was before grabbing the paperwork that he needed to photocopy.

He didn’t expected the office the couch to be back in-front of the window and Dazai, to have stretch out even more, arms and legs hanging off of the couch sides, Fukuzawa sigh to himself as he walk over, standing over Dazai’s form, who let out an fake snore, an small sigh escape his lip as he adjust his desk, making sure everything was on his desk, leaving Dazai alone for the time being.

“This better not happened again.” He warned but Dazai just snore in response

It did, this time however, he catch Dazai when he was awake, he even had the audacity to move his small table in-front of the couch for some reason. “Dazai,” Fukuzawa greeted, eyeing the lock, he was sure that he locked the door but knowing Dazai, he unlocked it himself.

“President!” Dazai give an lazily wave. “What brought you here?” he was stretched out on the couch without an care, the sun beaming down on him, the sight remind him of an cat, who just got catch misbehaving and was trying to act cute to get out of trouble, The older man clear his throat and walk over to his desk, making sure everything was there, everything but an flower vase was there, he had move it to the table, Which cause his eye to twitch.

“This is my office, why are you here?” He got a fake snore in response, Fukuzawa sigh, finding that he was too tired to fight with him. “This is the last time, Dazai.” he warned.

It wasn’t.

It was, however, the first time he catch him in the act, he had left for a moment to grab some paperwork when he heard furniture moving, and he was quick to slam open the door. “Osamu Dazai.” He yelled, Dazai quickly turn, knocking off an vase that hit the floor and shatter, which wasn’t an big deal to the other until Dazai, with fear in his eyes, took an step back, stepping right on the broken vase, the younger man let out an painful yelp. It took less then an second for Fukuzawa to pick him up, lifting Dazai up by the armpits effortlessly, sitting him down on the desk. “Don’t move,” he ordered, glancing at the vase, seeing that Dazai was shoeless, and he cursed silently. “I’m getting Yosano, She shoul-“

“No,” Dazai said quickly, Fear flash on the other face before disappearing, “I’m Fine.” and Fukuzawa glance at him,, frowning to himself “Very Well, But I want to make sure, I’m getting the first aid kit.” He turn for an second, and dig into the desk, to grab his first aid kit, noticing that Dazai was trying to make a quick escape, he was quick enough to grapple him, holding him up by his back of his shirt. “Don’t you dare, Let me take an look at your foot.” He wasn’t happy that he got the other hurt, adjusting his hold on the squirming man. “I’ll buy you crab.” he said quickly and that cause the other to calm, Dazai squint at him, about to ask something, but Fukuzawa catch on. “As much as you want, just let me look.” He know that Dazai had an hatred for doctors and any medicinal setting, he sit him back on the desk, ignoring the vase, grappling the other ankle as an warning. Dazai, luckily didn’t try to escape, he used his foot to bring the chair over and sit down.

“Why is Fukuzawa so mean!” He cried, puppy dog tears. he raised an eyebrow at him. “I’m mean? you broke into my office, and you broke an priceless vase.” He open the first aid kit, and get to work. “It was ugly, you’re welcome.” Fukuzawa scoffed, looking up at Dazai, The other must of thought he was mad at him and was going punish him, he store that in the back of his mind, he was curious about the other, not much was know about his past. he focus on picking out the glass, ignoring Dazai hiss of pain and squirming.

“Where are your shoes?” He asked, double checking that he got all the glass out, blood cover his hands by then, and he pressed some glaze down on it. “I went for a dip, and I lost them, mean ol’ Kunikida wouldn’t let me get a new pair.” Dazai was pouting. “I see,” he make a note to get Dazai shoes, maybe he should have Dazai bring in spare clothes for here, he shake that thought out and focus on his employee’s bleeding foot.

“You shouldn’t put pressure on this for the rest of the day,” He warn, casting Dazai glancing at the couch and he sighed. “Very well, But next time, be more careful.”

“Yes Sir!” Dazai cheered, clearly happy about the fact he got to nap, he wrapped the other foot, and lift him up, ignoring Dazai’s shock expression as he drop him on the couch, he push the couch to the window wordlessly. “I’ll order your crab later today, it’s be for lunch.” Dazai recover from the shock and nodded quickly, “fuck yes!” he cheered.

“Language,” Fukuzawa retored and Dazai just laugh, an smile break out on his face as he got the broom, quickly cleaning up the glass and blood, he found that he didn’t care for this, it was nice to see Dazai’s laugh so freely.

After all, He could always move everything back later.

Atsushi was tired, a feeling that he was used to, it was a familiar feeling that had followed him throughout his life. but this one was different, it was like everything was weighing in onto him at once and he wasn’t sure what to do, he look at the paperwork, wanting to finish it before the end of the day, he sighed to himself, trying his best to focus but he just couldn’t, his eyes went to the windows, not remembering the last time he went outside just to go relax, he eyed the chairs in front of the window, wondering if it was okay to take a nap, Dazai does it all the time.

Speak of the devil and he should appear, a hand clutched down on his mouth and one on his shoulder, causing the poor tiger to jump and glance up to see a grinning Dazai. “Atsushi!~” Dazai whispered, his eyes dart to Kunikida who was working away, not paying them any attention.

“follow me and stay quiet,” Atsushi clutch the desk at that, causing Dazai to swat at his hands repeatedly. “don’t be like that!” Dazai whined. “come on! let’s go!” Dazai tug the other hand, trying to get him to let go. “No!- let me go!” Atsushi voice was muffled against Dazai’s hand, Biting down, Dazai flinched, leaning his other hand down and press into Atsushi’s side, quickly tickling him.

He was quick to move his hands down, trying to stop the oncoming attack to his side but he quickly jerk him away, clutching down, the other give them an side eyes, and he look at them pleading, Ranpo just wave him goodbye as Dazai dragged him away. “Dazai!- noo!-“ He whined against the hand, biting down slightly and Dazai press his fingers into the other rib cage roughly, Causing him to let go. “Don’t bite me! I’m trying to be nice!” Dazai whined, refusing to let the struggling man go. “Just relax, it’s be over soon!” The two struggle until Dazai got to a room, Pushing Atsushi inside and locking the door behind him.

Laying on his chest, Atsushi cast an look around, trying to figure out what the older man was thinking but truthfully, It was damn near impossible to do so, He would be surprised if Ranpo have an full grasp on Dazai’s character. “Dazai! Why did you bring me here, I’m not joining in on your scheme!” he whined, he never been in this room before, but it smelt like the president, the president was all around, relaxing. his scent alway bring comfort to Atsushi, but he would never admit it.

“Me? An scheme!” Dazai whined “I’m trying to be nice!” He grasp Atsushi collar and dragging him to a chair, throwing him down before collapsing on the longer couch. “Now shut up and relax!” Dazai nuzzle up on the couch and Atsushi look around, noticing the photos on the walls, Wondering if he was really in the president office, he swallow nervously, hoping that he wouldn’t be mad at him. he look at Dazai, taking an moment to make sure the other was out and got up, trying to sneak out but before he could, Dazai jump up and latch onto him, dragging him down, ignoring the other thrashing, he force him on the floor this time, holding onto him, acting like he was the other teddy bear.

“Dazai, Please! Kunikida going to be mad!” Atushi whine loudly, getting frustrated at how Dazai acting but Dazai just smirk. “Five minute, if you don’t want to stay after that then you can leave.” He retored. “Fine, Deal!” Atsushi glare up at Dazai who smile brightly. “You have to relax and enjoy the sunshine!” Dazai let him go and that when he notice that the two was in-front of an large window, the sun shining down on them creating an prefect basking spot, Atsushi give an streched without thinking, melting against the couch, when Dazai did the same, both of them relaxing.

“This is nice, but is it really okay for us to be here?” Atsushi ask, giving Dazai a glance, the other was stretching out, going on his stomach, extending one of his leg over the couch. Atsushi give a yawn, His back aching up as he push his hands into the soft carpets, lifting one up then back down, kneading into the carpet without a care. “mhmm,” Dazai said.

“I see you invited Atsushi to my office .” Fukuzawa said, Atsushi jump, stopping mid knead as he glance up at the boss, who somehow managed to enter undetected, He didn’t look mad, amusement and something else dancing on his features as he watch the two, Dazai wave his hand lazily, resting it on Atsushi’s head, he give an small yet lazy pat, settling down without an care. “I’m sorry Sir-“ Atushi was about to jump up but Fukuzawa wave it off. “I’m used to it, At least you didn’t break my expensive vase,” He eyed Dazai at that who let out a laugh. “It’s was ugly, I was doing you a favor.” He curled into the couch, as Fukuzawa went over to an closet, passing by his desk which was push to the corner, the couch was in the middle of the room.

Atsushi look around, wondering if he should leave but neither of them mind and the sun felt nice, without thinking, he start moving his hands again, doing an little twirl in an circle as he settle down, letting out an small yawn as he rest his head on the ground, he didn’t know how long he stay there, only perking up when he felt his head grt pick up and rest on something fluffy, he felt an blanket rest on him and he clutch at the item without an care.

“good job today, Atsushi,” The president whispered, his voice calm and- lovingly? was that what it was, The president smooth his hair down. “Thank you for choosing the Agency as your new home.” the President get up, and Atsushi resist the urge to let a soft whine at the loss at the touch, it was nice and comforting, he curl up into the pillow and blanket. “rest well.”

as Atsushi drift to sleep, he wonder if this is what having a family is like.
