"That stupid... Stupid... Idiot..." Kunikida grumbled to himself as he and Y/n were walking side by side with each other to the agency, "Wonderful, just wonderful... Gah! That Dazai!! Just leaving me to do his dirty work while he wonders off to jump off a bridge?! This... This was not part of my ideals!!"

Y/n yawned to himself as he was already used to Kunikida's complaining manners about Dazai. He threw away his lollipop, some of the sweetness was still stinging his tongue which was unwanted. He was never one for sweets and candys in the first place.

"I'm just about ready to go home," Y/n let out accidently.

Kunikida, since his mind was still frustrated on Dazai's actions, glared slightly at Y/n. Once he's mad, everyone knew to just give him some space for him to calm down, otherwise he may say something that will severely hurt them. However, that had slipped Y/n's mind.

"You're one to talk," Kunikida snapped as he glanced down at Y/n's collarbone to see hickeys and bite marks littering his skin, it angered him, "I bet you were just having the 'best' of times, didn't you? You need to stop 'having fun' on the job, Y/n."

Although Y/n knew that it was his fault for provoking Kunikida when he was in this state, what the blonde said struck a nerve. He narrowed his eyes to the side and tried to cover the hickeys and bite marks with the collar of his shirt. However, the attempt was useless since his shirt was just slightly too small on him.

"I didn't have fun," Y/n muttered, not daring to look Kunikida in the eyes, "I didn't even like it, Kuni..."

After hearing the nickname Y/n had given him on the first day, Kunikida snapped out of his frustrated state. He stood there looking at Y/n with slightly an agape mouth. His fingers hovered over his lips as he had just realized what he had said to Y/n.

Y/n stopped walking too, a bit ahead of Kunikida so that his back was facing the blond, "I know you're mad at Dazai, Kuni... But please... never say that again."

"Y/n... I..." Kunikida stumbled as he walked up to Y/n to stand side by side with him.

Y/n, with his hair covering his eyes, shook his head with a small smile, "It's alright, I know you don't mean it," He stated, however he still tried to cover up the sex marks as best he could, "I get how you feel, Kuni, with Dazai and everything."

"No, that is not an excuse to tell you those things," Kunikida said sharply as he held onto Y/n's hand that was trying to cover up, "This is entirely my fault. Just because I'm frustrated with Dazai gives me no right to take it out on you, Y/n. I'm so sorry."

Y/n shook a bit but laughed as he pulled his hand away from his collar, "It's alright, it's alright. No need to be sorry."

Although Y/n laughed, Kunikida's eyes couldn't help but soften in sadness, he looked up and down at Y/n's figure and his brows furrowed, "Why?"

"What...?"

"Why do you do it?" Kunikida asks, his eyes glued to the floor, finding it more interesting at the moment.

Y/n stared at Kunikida in slight surprise. No one dared questioning Y/n why he does what he does to find the criminal. Everyone had just accepted that Y/n used his body to get what he wanted. They have just accepted that Y/n was just another whore, just another someone.

"I want to help... people," Y/n said carefully as Kunikida listened closely with his full attention, "I can't help much as a detective. I'm not smart like Ranpo, I'm not a healer like Yosano, I'm not like a leader like Fukuzawa, nor am I stronger and young like Kenji.

"But I have a body that I can use to my will. If I can use my body to help other, whether that I should be a shield or a puppet for those in need, I will do it. If I can help by giving away my body little at a time, I will do it within a heartbeat."

Kunikida stared at Y/n with a look that was unreadable to the (h/c), "So I take that Saburo is arrested..."

Y/n couldn't help but smile, "Yes. And the two girls that he was trying to take are safe and sound too."

"That's good," Kunikida said as he patted Y/n's back a little bit hesitantly but smiled when he noticed that Y/n noticeably relaxed, "You did a good job today."

Y/n chuckled, "I hope I did," He then perked up when he realized something, "Oh, what does the note that Dazai even gave you said?"

Kunikida blinked before humming and pulling out the note, "I don't know, let me see," He and Y/n started walking again as Kunikida unfolded the note and read it, he grimaced, "Ah... Y/n...?"

"Hmm? Yes?"

"You... have to work overtime."

Y/n deadpanned as an irk mark appeared on his cheek, "I'm going to kill Dazai next time I see him."

"Don't, he'll probably like it."

"Curse you Dazai..."

───◇──◇─◇

"Well, this plan was a doozy..." Dazai grumbled to himself as his hands were in his pockets in a bored manner.

Dazai was quick the dodge of an incoming attack from the white tiger. He had had his suspicions on the Atsushi boy since he saw him, however he could never confirm them. But with Y/n's help, it was now a fact that that white tiger was Atsushi, no doubt about it.

Dazai jumped away again to dodge another attack, one that broken wooden boxes to bits. He slid to a stop as his foot hit the wall of the warehouse he had trapped himself in. He glanced at the wall then at the tiger in front of him.

"Oops," Dazai said plainly before humming, "Come to think of it, this isn't a bad way to meeting my doom. Being eaten by a tiger. But even then, all you strength can't kill me. My ability is..." His fingertips brushed against the tiger's fur making it, him, freeze, "...No Longer Human."

A wave of writing hit the tiger pure soul as it froze in the air, unable to move. He growled, not wanting to be contained again but was ultimately useless as his body turned and morphed back into the human boy it once was, Atsushi.

"My power allows me to reverse anyone else's power," Dazai explained to the tiger before the beast disappeared, "It works through a simple touch."

Atsushi's body reversed back to the shabby boy that Dazai knew and was familiar with. He slowly went down to the ground as he stumbled and fell onto Dazai's chest, fast asleep and seemingly exhausted after releasing the beast that was now trapped in his body once again.

Dazai glanced down at Atsushi and put his hand on the shorter's shoulder, "If you're flirting, I'm not interested. You're not my type." He threw Atsushi to the ground with a harsh thud.

"There you are, Dazai!!" A familiar voice scolded as running was heard, heading towards the brown-haired male.

"You're late, Kunikida," Dazai teased before turning to Atsushi, who was sleeping on the ground, "I've captured our predator."

Kunikida eyes widened as he stood next to Dazai and looked down at Atsushi, "So Y/n was right."

"Yep, he can change into a deadly tiger. I mean, I had my suspicions, but I was lucky that you called in Y/n," Dazai stuck out his tongue, "Without his lollipop technique I don't think we would've been able to capture the tiger this fast without having to go to Ranpo for it."

"He did always hate very sweet things..." Kunikida mumbled before perking up and turning to Dazai with an irk mark on his forehead, "Then what was with this note, huh?? You made this all sound so urgent!"

"'The tiger will be in the 15th district's warehouse'," Dazai read off the note, "'Secure the perimeter so that it can't escape'. My! What a love and concise note!"

Kunikida furrowed his brows, "You left out one vial detail. Next time, you better tell me what's going on. I was lucky that Y/n was only able to pick up a few of your actions. But thanks to you, I brought in agents who weren't even on call! First rounds on you, ya know?"

A few footsteps were heard as Kunikida and Dazai turned to look at the main people of the ADA's office. Some steps were lighter than others as others were normal, however all of them barely had sound to them, meaning that they were all trained to some degree.

"Please don't tell me there are no casualties. Talk about boring..."
Akiko Yosano, Skill: Thou Shalt Not Die.

"Hahaha, you've gotten better at solving cases, Dazai. But... my logical skills will solve the big ones."
Ranpo Edogawa, Skill: Super Deduction.

"Talk about over working... Yawn - I should be sleeping by now..."
Y/n L/n, Skill: Divine in True Nightmare

"He's not dead. What are we going to do with him when he wakes up? He didn't know that he could do this did he?"
Kenji Miyazawa, Skill: Undefeated by the Rain.

"Apparently, or so it seems. Now what Dazai? He's been designated as security for it."
Doppo Kunikida, Skill: The Matchless Poet.

"Haha... I've already made my decision."
Osamu Dazai, Skill: No Longer Human.

The agents looked at Dazai in questioning, wondering what he had to say about the were-tiger that was passed out. Y/n only glanced at Dazai, noticing the glint of mischief in his eyes. He eyes as he looked down at Atsushi and made sure he was laying down correctly. Y/n didn't think that having your ass in the air while you sleep would be comfortable.

Dazai gave the group a closed eyed smile, "We're going to make him one of us!"

"WHAT?!" Kunikida snapped.

"You can't be serious..." Yosano grumbled with her arms crossed.

"Dead serious~" Dazai teased with a peace sign.

Kunikida irked, "Don't tease like that!!"

"Okay calm down guys," Y/n spoke up, being the voice of reasoning at the moment, "Even if Atsushi were to become one of us, where would he live? The boy is homeless."

The group went quiet for a second, "You know..." Dazai muttered, "I haven't thought about that."

"WHY YOU IGNORANT LITTLE-"

"You can't be serious..."

Ranpo only chuckled to himself, having already predicted this moment was to come, "Classic Dazai~" He cooed to himself.

As Kunikida was yelling and scolding at a goofy smile Dazai, Yosano grumbling to herself, Kenji cooing at the were-tiger, and Ranpo laughing at the misery of his co-workers, Y/n walked all of them with a blank face.

Y/n sighed as he walked over to Atsushi. He smiled at Kenji and was returned one. Y/n quickly petted Kenji's hair, making the blond blush, before picking up Atsushi's limp body. After Y/n straightened his posture, Kunikida and Dazai stopped bickering and the rest turned to see what Y/n was doing.

"I'll take Atsushi in," Y/n said as he carried Atsushi bridal style, "He can stay at my house for the time being. Once he's stable enough in finance, I will make sure he gets his own house."

The group blinked at Y/n's words before Dazai broke the small silence. He threw his arms around Y/n and patted his chest purposely as he cooed and laughed at the fact that Y/n was so caring and helpful.

"I knew I could always count on you, dear Y/n!!" Dazai cooed as leaned his face dangerously nearer to Y/n's lips, however he stopped.

Y/n glared through his messy hair down at Dazai, he froze up seeing the sharp (e/c) eyes glaring down at him, "You owe me dinner after this, you hear me, Dazai?" He sneered lightly, "Being overworked and getting a new roommate was something I did not want to have tonight."

Dazai let go of Y/n as he crossed his arms and fake pouted while sweatdropping, "You can be so lazy sometimes, dear..."

Y/n rolled his eyes as his hair started to fall back in place, "You're one to talk, darling."

"Hey, why does Dazai get to be called that," Yosano joking asked but still pouted along with the rest of the group, "Unfair."

Y/n deadpanned as he walked towards the exit of the building, "I'm tired. I'm going home."

"DON'T JUST WALK AWAY!!"

Y/n just shook his head as he could hear Ranpo's and Kenji's complaining and Yosano's yelling. He could also hear the bickering of Kunikida and Dazai once again. He let out a sigh as he looked down at the peaceful Atsushi, who was snuggling up to his chest and sleeping soundlessly.

"You're definitely going to be a handful," Y/n whispered to himself, however he did hear Atsushi's chest rumble a bit.

'Is he... purring...??'
