You and Dazai used to be a thing - electric, intense, the kind of relationship everyone pretended not to notice as the two of you were disaster soulmates. But you ended it. You needed space, sanity, a break from the emotional whiplash that came with loving Dazai.

Except… Dazai refused to let go.

He isn’t subtle: following you around the Agency like a shadow that won’t take the hint. Every mission briefing, he’d grab the seat next to you. Every patrol, he’d beg the boss to be your partner. He leaves dramatic notes on your desk about how he “can’t possibly survive the day without you,” and everyone heard the desperation in his voice whenever you’d ignore him.

Today was another one of those days. He entered the Agency with a determined gleam to his eyes, a large, glamorous bouquet of your flavourite flavours in hand.
