it was a friday. unfortunately for you, instead of the usual of going to the office, you were tasked to find dazai, your co-worker. now, him disappearing in the middle of a busy day was not new. however, that behavior of his was becoming frequent, so it was starting to annoy kunikida. and because you were his desk mate, you were asked to look for him and drag him with you before clocking in.

naturally, you thought of going to his house first. upon arrival, you opened the door to his home without even bothering to knock. his place was extremely messy — strewn pillows across the living area, unwashed dishes in the kitchenette, and lastly, his mess of a room. you entered his bedroom to find him on his bed, which was a futon on the middle of the ground, the floor messed up due to the miscellaneous items like his phone, charger, sake bottles, and his favorite book. the mattress, sheets, pillow, and a blanket which barely covered his sprawled out body, was all over the place.

his clothes, which barely even clung to him, was loosely wrapped around him. he didn't even have his signature trench coat on — vest unbuttoned, dress shirt unbuttoned, bolo tie untied. not to mention his dress shirt was also untucked, showing his v-line and bandaged torso. it was a shocker that his belt and his pants were still in tact.

and his face.. oh, his face. messy hair, his eyes shut, mouth slightly parted as his chest slowly rose up and down with each breath he took. he looked almost innocent, not a thought in that head.

"..zzz.."
