Characters involved: Hawks, Dazai, Shinichiro,

Gender-neutral reader, you/yours

Hawks (Keigo Takami)

A small grin spread across your lips as you quickly moved around the agency, the path to Keigo's office feeling almost second nature what with how much time you spent at his agency.

However, you were forced to a stop just as you reached out to pull open the door.

"They're having a meeting, I would advise against disturbing it."

The sudden statement had you spinning on your heels to face an unfamiliar boy you hadn't noticed before.

Compared to the brightly-dressed adult heroes around the agency the boy stuck out like a sore thumb what with his black get-up and almost serene vibe.

However, it was that very feature that had a name jumping to the tip of your tongue.

"You're Tokoyami, right? The kid who's interning with Keigo."

Tokoyami nodded along as you spoke, gesturing you to one of the empty seats beside him.

As you took a seat beside him, you couldn't help but feel your smile widen. Keigo would never admit it, but over the course of his previous internship he had come to think of Tokoyami as more than just a fellow bird hero to look out for.

In fact, he cared for the kid more than he realized.

"So, you're the famous partner?"

"How did you-"

Tokoyami shrugged at your words, almost as if it was obvious.

"You referred to Hawks with his first name. And he's spoken of you before."

The two of you remained quiet for a moment after that, but the silence was quickly broken by your curiosity to see just how close your boyfriend was to his student.

"So, what do you think about him?"

"Hawks is he's impressive. Honestly, I had never thought of him much before my internship, sure he's a great hero, but after meeting him I-"

The way Tokoyami trailed off had you quickly turning to gauge the younger boy's reaction, however, the small smile on his face eased any worries you might have had.

"-began to look up to him. He makes me want to be a better hero. Maybe it's because of how close we are in age compared to other pro heroes, but Hawks makes me feel inspired. Like he can teach me how to be the best hero."

Tokoyami had begun to relax in his seat as he spoke but was quick to jump up and turn to you once he processed his words.

"But don't tell him any of that! It'll get to his head and-"

"Of course, your secret's safe with me."

The wide grin on your face probably didn't look too convincing, but Tokoyami wasn't given a chance to argue as the office doors were pushed open and a certain feathered hero pulled you to his side.

"You're early."

Hawks was quick to lead you into his now empty office as he spoke, whether it was because of the light blush dusting his cheeks or the rush of heroes now in the hallway, you weren't sure.

However, one thing was for certain. He had heard Tokoyami.

"And you're adorable."

"Shut up."

His office was consumed with laughter as you took your time teasing your boyfriend, with the latter attempting to block off any mentions of his little relationship with Tokoyami.

However, even as the two of you poked fun at each other and wasted away his lunch break, you couldn't help but feel a warm feeling blossom within your chest.

Neither Keigo nor Tokoyami realized it, but perhaps, meeting each other was exactly what they needed to reconcile with a part of themselves they had forgotten.

Dazai Osamu

Dazai Osamu was a complicated person.

People who didn't know him thought of him as the suicide-obsessed detective who kept the agency alive and running, often literally, and the ones who did were either scared of him or found Dazai endearing.

You had never really come across anyone who didn't fit in either of those boxes. Up until your encounter with one of the port mafia's best.

You weren't really aware of Dazai's past with the port mafia, but one thing you knew for sure was that after a crazy day of saving the city, Akutagawa more than deserved at least a bit of recognition from his mentor.

Dazai could almost feel the way you were glaring at him from your spot behind Akutagawa, perhaps that was why he hesitated for a moment before completely dismissing his student's requests.

"You did-"

His gaze finally flicked over Akutagawa's shoulder to meet your encouraging gaze, a sight he couldn't help but give in to after such a tiring day saving the city.

"-you did good. You've improved."

A soft sigh escaped his lips as Dazai spoke, however, that was completely concealed by the sound of Akutagawa's frame hitting the floor.

You would have thought he had broken them if it weren't for the half-assed reassurances Dazai threw your way as he dragged you away from the scene.

"You did good too."

A wide smirk spread across his face as Dazai turned to face you, with his hands shifting from your arm to instead rest on your waist so he could easily pull you into his chest.

"Only good?"

You hummed at the question, letting him pull you against his chest as a smile of your own formed across your lips.

"Fine, you did amazing."

Your words only served to widen his smile as Dazai finally sealed your lips with his, with his grip on your waist tightening the longer the two of you remained that way.

"Maybe being nice to Akutagawa isn't such a bad idea after all."

You playfully slapped his chest at the statement, but even as the two of you fell into a playful stream of banter, you couldn't help but notice how Dazai seemed a lot more pleased with Akutagawa than he let on.

He would never admit it, but Dazai already felt as proud as Akutagawa as he wanted him to be. Perhaps, someday would find it in himself to admit as much.

Shinichiro Sano

After a day full of fun with your boyfriend you were ready to return home and sleep the night away, however, that idea seemed increasingly impossible the longer you lingered outside the Sano house.

"Shin, I can go home by myself, seriously!"

Shinichiro let out a low groan at your words, with his hold on your waist tightening to keep you stuck between him and his bike.

"I already drove us till here, I can take you home too."

"We literally live in the same neighbourhood."

He seemed to perk up at your words, but you were quick to shut down any ideas of walking together with a stern look.

Usually, you would have been more than happy to go home with Shinichiro, but as the oldest Sano sibling there were certain responsibilities he had, responsibilities that he had already avoided to spend the day with you.

And knowing Shinichiro, he would probably want to spend more time together once your home came in view, something that you would ultimately give in to and hate yourself for.

The Sano kids were already neglected enough as it was, you didn't want to be the reason to take away their older brother too.

Thankfully, his younger siblings intervened right before he could convince you to give in.

"Oi Shinichiro, Emma's been- oh."

The blond boy leaning against their house's doorframe was quick to stand up straight and awkwardly run his hand through his hair the second your eyes locked, with his actions making you increasingly aware of how you probably looked at that moment.

Shinichiro pulled away the second he registered his brother's voice, choosing to instead lean against his bike beside you.

"I got your things, I'll be in in a minute."

Mikey nodded along to his brother's words, sparing a quick look at the dorayaki packet on the bike before walking back inside the house.

However, even as you watched the blond disappear past the front door you couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. You had been so excited to meet Shinichiro's younger siblings, but after how he had just seen you, Mikey's mental image of you was probably the opposite of what you wanted.

Shinichiro seemed to sense your disappointment at the prospect of being looked down on by his siblings and was quick to wrap an arm around your shoulders, squeezing them in an attempt to reassure you.

"Don't worry, Mikey isn't the type to judge people like that. Plus-"

he returned to your front as he spoke, this time with a goofy grin stretched across his lips.

"-I talk about you enough for him to know better."

Usually, people would have been shy to admit such things, but Shinichiro's willingness to be truthful about his emotions was what made you like him so much.

That, paired with the fact that even if he usually stumbled around with his words, he somehow always knew how to make you feel better.

"I want to meet them."

He hummed at your statement, pulling away from your form to instead take your hand in his and tug you towards the front door, with the packet of dorayaki in his other hand.

"Luckily, I picked out enough dorayaki for four. Why don't you spend the night?"

You probably weren't going to be staying for that long, but it was the prospect of being able to learn about a new side of Shinichiro's life, one he often hid away from others, that had you grinning in excitement.
