Chapter Text
It's a summer evening, everyone is busy, many people wandering, it's noisy yet calming and peaceful, the wind blowing cool enough to make you feel safe. That's how yokohama city doing today.
As for dazai, he was wandering around while riding a bicycle with a flower he was about to deliver. The cool air make his soft brown hair waves and his coat flutter. He open his arms wide while pedaling and close his eyes to feel the cool air. While his eyes are closed his mind drifting off again and wandering somewhere. He thought of wanting to die with this peaceful and beautiful atmosphere, with the people having fun around and not having care to the surrounding.
He once open his eyes and got panic when he saw he was about to bump at the young man who had a lot of envelope at his hands and had a shoulder bag that also full of envelopes.
The young man open shot his eyes and also got shock.
In dazai's panic he can't think straightly and got bump to the said young man.
Dazai got thrown off to his bicycle and the flower he was about to deliver got scattered and flew by the wind meanwhile the young man whimpered while sitting at the floor and the envelopes he had earlier got threw above.
Now it's like raining of petals and letters.
They stare at each other and suddenly...
Dazai's heart beat rapidly while got mesmerized by the eyes of the young man.
The emerald color eyes that makes him feel vomit in nervous. The eyes that saying too many words. The eyes that burning him alive.
Dazai don't know why but his vision suddenly got slo-mo, everything around them suddenly vanish, the noise from the people earlier got turned to a deafining silence, the only thing that he can hear is the thump of his heart.
On the other hand the young man pout and stand on his own feet, he shake off the dirt from his ¾ brown pants and approach dazai who got stoned from his place. He wag his hand to dazai's face to see if dazai's okay. When he got no response from dazai, he approach more, at dazai's ear exactly and scream loudly.
Dazai came back to his senses when the young man scream at his ear. He looked at the young man and see that the young man was pouting and ready to yell.
"HEY MISTER ARE YOU BLIND TO END UP BUMPING AT ME ?" The young man yell and everyone around is now looking at them.
"L-look i-i'm really sorry for not noticing you earlier" dazai stuttered ugh he hate this feeling, he also hate how they caught many attention.
The young man looked around with his eyes close and hum in satisfaction. He suddenly dragged dazai in more secluded area. The young man open once again his beautiful sharp emerald eyes.
"YOU F*CKIN A****LE BECAUSE OF YOU I MAY LOSE MY JOB" The young man yell again.
"Job? But you look like young to me to have a job already" Dazai subconscious said.
"ARGH I'M ALREADY 26-YEAR OLD YOU DUMB BUT NEVERMIND I ALSO WANTED TO RESIGN AT MY JOB BECAUSE THE LETTER THEY SENDING TO DELIVER EVERYDAY IS SO F*CKIN NONSENSE" The young man rant...
"Oh? You should be thankful to me then" dazai said while growing smirk in his lips.
"The f*ck are you talking about?" The young man ask in confusion with a hinr of irritation in his voice.
"Because of me, they have a reason to unemploy you." Dazai said with a full confident in his voice.
"Uhuh? Then thanks to you and your suicidal thought" the young man said that made dazai shock.
"W-what?" Dazai's stutter.
"Nothing~ by the way i'm Edogawa Ranpo" Ranpo singsong said while reaching out his hand.
Dazai accept it and smile sweetly
"Dazai. Dazai Osamu" He casually said to ranpo.
Ranpo beamful hum and nod. In dazai's view he's like a sun that spreading it's shine to anyone who will see him.
"I had to go now~ don't worry about me and my job, worry about those flowers that are now scattered and your bicycle~ see you whenever dazai." Ranpo said and start to walk off.
Ranpo looked at his palm and subconciously gently smile when he saw that his palm has a cute little flower that dazai gave when they did shakehands. Honestly ranpo hope they'll meet again, well he'll leave that idea to destiny.
Meanwhile....
Dazai watching ranpo to leave and still fascinated on how ranpo was.
The situation is still not sink in his mind but he thought that maybe, maybe it's not bad to live huh.
Maybe it's time to breath and enjoy fresh air, the scenery we had, the sky that symbolize the peace. Maybe it's time to appreciate the life that was given to us...
While dazai having a thought like this he started to went back in the place where his bicycle is, and luckily no one snatch his bicycle instead the other took it to the side so it would not block the way.
Dazai slowly pull a genuine smile in his face and start to walk off with his bicycle. His mind is start to wandering off again but this time he thinks not about suicide but instead how he's grateful to met ranpo and he is more aware on his surrounding to avoid incident like earlier.
The thought of ranpo cannot escape from dazai's mind. The boy he just met accidentally and in a short time but give him a reason to live. The boy that has an eye that make you shudder in both excitement and fear. The boy that smile so brightly.
Dazai sigh in contentment and decide to back into his senses. He hope they could meet again and could talk to each other formally.
It's on destiny if they would because afterall if they were meant to be no matter how they are in they would be the endgame.
