Chapter Text
Kunikida had never been big on love. It had always resulted in heartbreak which is why he had managed to just about avoid it. Until now.
He was fairly sure he was in love with his work partner. Dazai. All dazai did was annoy him yet for some reason kunikida was not able to push him out his mind. His dark, fluffy hair. His extroverted yet mysterious personality. His bandages. His thighs..his waist…
He stopped his thoughts and sighed heavily. With valentines upcoming he had hearts and roses and other lovely dovey things shoved in front of him. It definitely wasn’t helping nor was the fact that he convinced himself that the shorter wouldn’t like him back.
The man paced around his living room, flipping through his ideal partner list. Dazai barely fits three of his ideals yet he still loves him. It’s not fair. He angrily pulled off his itchy socks, he made sure to finish every piece of work and re-write his schedule so he could write a letter for his love, he even got him a teddy bear and a box of chocolates, he would get dazai some flowers but he didn’t trust him to actually look after the plants.
He sat at his dining room table and combed through his long hair that he had let loose at some point.
‘Dear dazai, I would li’
No. He crossed it out and grabbed a new peice of paper, this needed to be perfect.
“Dear dazai, I want to tell you how much you really mean to me. I have had conflicting thoughts about you for a while. You fit only a few of my ideals yet I think I’m in love with you. Everything about you is so perfect. Even when you annoy me I can forgive quicker than other people. So will you be my valentine?
Love from,
Doppo Kunikida.’
He let out a sigh, not of stress or nervousness, just…a sigh. He folded up the paper neatly and placed it next to the presents, he turned off the light and made his way to his bedroom. The blonde did every step of his nightime routine before tucking himself in and falling asleep.
Dazai awoke from his short slumber, he rubbed his eyes and yawned as he looked at the time. He might actually make it to work on time. Not that he wanted to. It was February 14th after all. Just another reminder that his crush will most likely never like him back. He considered staying home but would probably be met by the confrontation of this crush of his at some point. He groaned and pushed himself out his futon, lazily chucked his clothes on, somewhat styled his hair and looked in the mirror, effortlessly changing his emotionless face to overly happy.
At the fast rate he’s going he might even beat kunikida to work, though he doubts that. He skipped out the door and down his route to work as he mentally debated himself on whether the blonde sleeps there. As he reached the office door, he came to the conclusion that kunikida didn’t because he wouldn’t look so well-rested otherwise!
When the brunette stepped into the office he was surprised to see things on his desk and not surprised at all to see kunikida already working. He joyfully walked to his desk and jumped onto his chair. “Ooooo~~ I wonder who brought me this~! See kunikida, the ladies love me!”
“Your here early.” The other rightfully pointed out
“I wanted to bless you with my presence~! I am going to read this letter that is next to these wonderful gifts in my head.” He loudly announced to the one other
person who just so happened to be right in front of him.
Kunikida nodded and dazai elected to ignore the slightly nervous look on his face. The taller watched in anticipation as he bounced his leg, fear consumed him when dazai put the letter down and stared at him for a second too long. “Actually..?” The fluffy haired spoke first, slightly puncturing the tension. A smile adorned his face as the other nodded. “Then yes! I will~!” Kunikida blinked a few times before letting out a breath he had been subconsciously holding. “Would you..like to go to the movies tonight..?” The idealist cautiously asked.
“As long as its just us.”
