Character: Atsushi Nakajima
The mid-day sun filled the café with it's warm light. No one was currently in there except for the members of the Armed Detective Agency. You and Atsushi sat at your own table your drinks long forgotten as you two discussed date ideas.
"How about a date to that new anime themed restaurant? It's not too far," you suggested.
"Aren't thoses places supposed to be expensive? I don't think either of us would be able to get much while there," Atsushi pointed out.
"True... how about the beach? That's free, and not to mention I just got a new (swimsuit/swimtrunks/bikini) and I haven’t had a chance to wear it yet."
He thought about it for a few seconds. He nodded. "That's a good idea."
"It'll be so much fun!" You said excitedly.
He smiled, happy to see your enthusiasm. The two of you discussed it a bit more completely unaware that Dazai was eavesdropping on your date plans.
"Who wants to go to the beach for a work trip?" He suggests to the office when you and Atsushi headed out for Agency errands.
Kenji enthusiastically agreed and Yosano nodded. Junichiro thought about it before saying, "Are you sure that's okay? Wouldn't we need permission from the President to do that?"
At that moment Fukuzawa walked in, "Would need my permission for what?"
"Ah! President Fukuzawa. Just the man I wanted to talk to," Dazai said cheerfully. "I was thinking since we had all been working so hard that we all deserve a nice work trip at the beach."
Fukuzawa stared him down for a moment before closing his eyes and slowly nodding. "I agree you all had been working hard and the weather is heating up. I will allow it," he agreed while being unaware of Dazai's true intentions for this "work trip".
"That's great! So it is agreed that we will be going to the beach this weekend," Dazai announced.
You and Atsushi walked through the sand trying to find a good place to set up for the day. Eventually you settled on an empty spot without people around. Perfect for your date. No one would disturb you two and on your way here there was an ice-cream cart only a few minutes walk from your spot.
He layed out the towel while you immediately went digging through the sand for shells. Atsushi watched you enjoy yourself. It was already turning out to be a perfect day. Nothing could ruin it now.
Dazai was looking around as the group walked across the beach looking for a decent sized spot for them. Eventually the people on the beach lessen in numbers as they walked further. Though they did spot a very bored teenager working at an ice-cream cart looking like he'd want to be anywhere but there.
The more Dazai looked, the more suspicious of him Kunikida became. "What are you doing?" Kunikida questioned.
"Looking for a good spot, of course. We wouldn't want to disturb people on their days off, would we?" Dazai answered, but it only worsened Kunikida's suspicions.
"You think I'm supposed to believe that?"
"Of course! It's the truth! Oh look over there," Dazai pointed to an area where two people in the distance were playing in the water.
Dazai grinned and sped up. Everyone else did as well to keep up with him.
"Hey! Atsushi~ Y/N~ what are you two doing here?" Dazai said in a cheery voice that almost definitely ment he knew why they were there.
You two turned to look at him speed walking towards you. You smiled while Atsushi glowered at him. He should have known something like this would happen. Why wouldn't it? The two of you shouldhave waited to discuss date plans till you were at one of your apartments.
"Why are you here?" You two asked at the same time but in completely different tones.
"Work trip. Didn't you hear about it?" Dazai stated like it was obvious.
"No. We didn't. I wonder why," Atsushi said.
Dazai shrugged, "No idea. Now, let's all just set up next to your towel since this is the perfect spot and it's such a amazing coincidence that we ran into each other."
"Can't you go somewhere else? We are kinda in the middle of a da-" Atsushi didn't have time to finish his sentence since everyone else didn't hesitate to set up their spots.
He couldn't help but be a bit irritated. This was supposed to be your time with him. Not a beach party. You two hang out with the rest of the agency enough. He just wanted to have some rare alone time with you.
You on the other hand, didn't seem to mind even a little. You were even helping Ranpo set up his area. Atsushi sighed realizing his date with you might as well be over. He started spiraling into self pitying until he saw the look of unadulterated joy on your face and couldn't help but soften a bit.
Maybe this wouldn't be too bad. Not to mention, it's not like you two were going home. He'd still get to be around you and see you in a bathing su-
His face went red and he immediately looked away from you. You still hadn't taken off the clothes you were using as a swim cover yet. Neither had he, but that was besides the point. He had never seen you in a bathing suit before. He wasn't sure what type you'd even wear.
"Atsushi! Come build sandvastles with us," you called out to him.
It seemed that in the few minutes he had looked away from you, you had been taken to the shoreline to play in the sand with Kenji. He, sighed, smiled, then ran over to you two. He might not have you to himself, but at least he has some time with you.
The sun had begun to set. Everyone was waving goodbye to each other. Atsushi stared at your grinning face as it was illuminated by the golden rays of remaining sunlight.
The longer he looked, the more he realized he wasn't ready for your date to end. He hesitantly took your hand, interlocking your fingers together. You looked at him with a questioning look.
"How about we go get some food before we head home... you know... its been a long day," he suggested.
Seeing right through him, you laughed while noding, "I'd like that."
