Chapter Text
It was a cloudy morning in Yokohama. The Sun trying to take a peak at the beautiful city, but failing. And of course, Atsushi and Akutagawa were arguing like usual.
~~~~~~~~
"Heh, your cute weretiger" Akutagawa says without thinking, after Atsushi said something more completely idiotic than usual. He immediately realizes what he said and instantly regrets it.
Atsushi's face turns from angry, to surprised, to embarrassed in matter of seconds.
Akutagawa turned away from Atsushi so he couldn't see how red he turned.
"A-Akutagawa..?" Atsushi finally studered out after what felt like forever.
Akutagawa was still not facing him.
"Akutagawa!!" Atsushi was worried now. Why wasn't Akutagawa responding to him?
Atsushi only thought of one more thing to do to try to verbally get Akutagawa's attention.
"RYUUNOSUKE!!" Atsushi yelled.
This for sure caught Akutagawa's attention, because he spun around faster the the speed of light(okay I might be exaggerating, but it was pretty quick!).
"Finally I got your attention." Atsushi giggled, trying to play it cool, but in reality he was deathly embarrassed.
"Sorry, I guess...." mumbled Akutagawa, looking at the floor, his vampirishly pale skin stained a light pink.
“It's ok!"Atsushi said putting up a thumbs up.
Akutagawa looked up at him and Atsushi swears he could see a slight smile tugging at his rivals lips.
Little did the two know, someone was watching them from the shadows...
"BOO!!"An unexpected guest popped up behind Atsushi.
Atsushi jumped and Akutagawa gasped.
"Dazai, can you please stop doing that" Atsushi pleaded after letting out a long sigh.
"Ohh, I'm sorry, did I interrupt something"Dazai smirked and raised his eyebrows up and down, clearly suggesting something Atsushi knew was just not true...
"N-no, nothing at all."
"W-WHAT! N-NO.."
Akutagawa and Atsushi say at the same time.
Dazai looked back and forth between the two boys with that "all knowing" look on his face.
"Well anyway... Atsushi! You have a new mission with me so bye-bye Akutagawa!" Dazai says, wraping his arm around Atsushi's shoulders, and starts walking away with him, dragging him to an-for now-unknown destination.
"Okay. BYEE RYUU!!" Atsushi yells as he's being dragged away by Dazai. Atsushi didn't know what compelled him to give Akutagawa a nickname, but it happened anyway.
Akutagawa blushes at the unexpected nickname and runs away as fast as he can with the help of Rashomon.
After a second to long of watching Akutagawa run away, Atsushi turned his attention to Dazai.
Dazai still had a smirk printed on his face and an all knowing glint in his eye."First name basis huh?" Dazai teased Atsushi. "AND a nickname?" Dazai pretends to suddenly be flabbergasted.
Atsushi goes red and pushes Dazai off him.
