WAAAHHHH SO ROMANTIC ໒꒰ྀི ៸៸៸៸ ก꒱ྀི১
Watching the fireworks with your longtime colleague, who you can’t help but silently love.
It’s peaceful, the only sound heard being the wind and fireworks, as it can be for a Friday night.
You’d only came for the festival not far away but you soon ended up with Dazai on a small roof, far enough from the edge but not so far that you couldn’t see the colourful streets below.
“What do you think, pretty?” He asks, a small grin on his face.
It’s hard to tell whether he’s calling you pretty or the view but you take it the way anyone would believe, sighing in comfort at the sights above and below.
“Definitely.” You gaze at your sleeves for a moment, hoping the darkness would hide your tinted cheeks.
“…Hey, look at that one.” the detective points up, making your eyes wander to a illuminated firework right above you both.
A bright red heart.
Your cheeks seemed to heat up at that, light awe on your face at the sight.
Unbeknownst to you, someone else’s cheeks were also heated up in light awe at the sight, not of the fireworks but of a person.
“Rather fitting, no?” A teasing voices awakens you from your gaze.
“Fitting, how so?” You ask, head turning to look at him.
“Well, this is pretty romantic.” He grins playfully, hand outstretched for you to take it.
“Huh.. It is, isn’t it?” You quietly reply, taking his hand with your head faced away from him once more to gaze at the fireworks.
It wasn’t exactly a surprise, seeing as you constantly danced around each other with comments such as these, but the sincerity and atmosphere seemed to top every single other comment made by each other in that moment.
Your hands simply stay intertwined for somewhere between five and ten minutes, both looking up peacefully and sneaking occasional glances at each other.
“If you were asked, would you consider a true relationship, Dazai?” You break the silence, now looking down at the families and couples walking through the pretty pathways.
“True?” He repeats, “If the one I wish for asked, no doubt I would.”
The one he wished for, huh?
“Must be a lucky person.” You reply, still gazing away.
“My, what a charmer you are! Though on the contrary, I would consider myself the lucky one for even being in their presence for a few moments.”
A comfortable silence fills the air once more as you wonder who could have caught Dazai’s eye.
You can’t really see them as an agency member, maybe it’s that sweet waitress?
“What are they like?” You question, sighing quietly.
You’re not devastated, you expected him to get a partner one day, serious or not, but…
“You.” He suddenly says, making you pause.
Like you or you?
“In truth, they’re much like you, too much so that I can deny it’s anyone but you.” His hand clutches your slightly tighter at that, his usual shine when he was asking someone to do a double suicide at least 10x brighter in your vision.
“..Me?!” Your eyes widen, face lightly red.
A small hum of approval is heard and your brain goes blank.
“Most definitely.”
“…Are you asking me out?” You gawk, the idea being maddening in your head.
“Well, yeah.” He grins, not minding your denial of the situation.
“I— i accept then, Dazai.” You manage to muster out, your face a shade of rose-like red.
A chuckle is all it takes for your head to go fuzzy.
“Call me Osamu, if you wish.”
Okay, your head is definitely fuzzy.
