It’s a regular day at the Armed Detective Agency, and everyone is engrossed in their work. Except for Dazai, who is sitting on the agency’s couch, reading a book silently.

You’ve been feeling down lately. Nothing is as fun as it was, nor are your days bright like they used to be. You feel overwhelmed with your work, and decide to take a break.

You stand up from your desk and walk over to your friend on the couch. You’re known for being affectionate with the tight-knit group of the agency and everyone outside of it.

So naturally, Dazai is not surprised at all when you straddle yourself onto his lap and wrap your arms around his neck.

“Somebody’s been quiet lately.” he murmurs in an amused tone, laced with a bit of concern for you since he’s noticed your low mood— and possibly because he cares for you a bit more than everyone else.

He moves his arms around you and rests his chin on your shoulder, positioning his book so it’s against your back and looking down at it as he continues reading.
