Fluff

Somehow for you, a bad day always turns into a bad week.

Sure work was stressful when working at the ADA, but for you, this week just seemed like a never ending nightmare.

You always seemed to mess up something or make a mission or two go wrong. Kunikida's nagging and yelling wasn't making anything better, and your anxiety has just been through the roof.

It hadn't even been half of the day on Thursday, but for some reason you snapped.

Maybe it was just Dazai's antiques being a little too much today, or the fact that you managed to embarrass yourself by falling on your face in front of everyone. Or maybe it was because you had to redo a lot of your work because you messed it up the first time.

You just up and left in the middle of work. Everyone questioned your actions, but didn't go after you to satisfy their curiosity.

Everyone except for Atsushi.

As soon as you stepped foot out of that door, he was on your tail. He followed you into an alleyway where you slid down the wall, arms hugging your knees tightly while crying. Atsushi stood there for a moment, processing what was happening.

"(Y/N)!"

You looked up and saw Atsushi standing only but a few feet away from you. He saw the state you were in and his eyes widened. Your eyes were swollen even though you had only been crying for a very short amount of time. Tears continued pouring down your checks no matter how many times you wiped them away. You quickly looked down do avoid him seeing your crying face any longer.

He took a few steps towards you and stood on his knees. He hesitantly reached his hand out to you, only to pull it back.

"Hey." He said in the most gentle voice you had ever heard, barely above a whisper.

You looked back up at him. His eyes were full on worry and concern. You knew he wanted to do something but was confused as what to do when someone was in this state.

You lunged stay his and wrapped your arms around his torso tightly. He yelped a little in fright, but quickly returned the hug to comfort you.

You cried, and cried, and cried. And he still hugged you, unmoving. What was mere minutes seemed like hours. His shoulder was soaking wet, but he didn't mind one bit. That was the least of his worries as of right now. His only concern was you.

Your crying died down after a while into small sniffles. He kissed your head softly as you put your head into his shoulder while your arms loosened around him only a tiny bit.

"A-are you okay?" He stuttered, not knowing what else to say in the moment.

You shook your head. He ran his hand through your hair as a way to calm you down more and to comfort you.

"I'm just tired. I'm really fucking tired, Atsushi. I've been such a klutz this week, I can barely get my work done without messing it up somehow, and then I have to re-do all that work again! And Kunikida's constant yelling makes everything worse. I'm trying the best I can. I really am. But everything is just going wrong."

He listened to every single word you said and comforted you while you nearly poured your heart out to him.

"You aren't a klutz. Sometimes things just... happen. And we can't control it. I'm so sorry all this has been going on for you this week." He told you softly. He comforted you with kind words that made your heart slightly flutter each time he spoke them.

After a few moments, you two pulled away but his arms stayed firm in your shoulders.

"I'm sorry you had to see me like that. And I'm sorry for venting to you in such a way. You don't need that on your chest when you have your own problems." You softly told him.

"It's totally fine. I'm glad you came to me for your problems. I want to help you out. It makes me feel nice just to know that I helped you in some way."

You smiled at him.

"Do you want to go back into the agency?"

You shook your head. "I kinda want to take a break. Just for the rest of the day."

He nodded understandingly. "Okay. Want me to go with you to your place?"

"I don't want to trouble you more than I already have." You replied. He chuckled. "I already said it wasn't a problem. Anything for you."

Your heart fluttered and a small blush was placed on your cheeks, which went unnoticed by Atsushi.

You two walked to your place which was a small apartment, though very aesthetically pleasing to the eye from the inside and out.

"Your place looks very nice." He told you. Which you replied with a small thanks.

To be honest, am soon as you two got to your place, you two just got comfortable and enjoyed each other's company. You watched movies, played games, ate snacks, etc.

Before you two even noticed, the sun had set. Only when Atsushi had looked up and out the window did he say something.

"Wow. It's getting late. I should probably head to my apartment." He scratched the back of his head and started to get up. You grabbed his arm and pulled him back down. "No no no! You've done so much for me. The least I can do is let you stay the night here!"

"Well I didn't bring any of my clothes with me. Or a toothbrush or anything like that."

"That's totally fine! I have some toothbrushes that haven't even been out of the pack yet and I can lend you some clothes."

"L-lend me some clothes?"

You chuckled when he stuttered. "Relax, sushi. I have some sweatshirts and sweatpants you can borrow."

He let out a sigh of relief. What he was thinking of before was unknown to you.

You led him to your room and handed him some pyjamas. He went to the bathroom to change and brush his teeth while you turned on a movie. When he came out of your bathroom and into your living room, he saw you on the couch and snuggled into a blanket. He sat next to you and you put some of the blackest around his shoulders, his face red as you did so.

Very little words were exchanged as you two watched the movie, too immersed in enjoying each other's company. Soon, you felt your eyes get heavy and your head falling onto Atsushi's shoulder. He tensed up and looked at your tired state, then put an arm around your waist to pull you closer and into a more comfortable position.

Soon after, he felt himself getting tired as well and laid his head on your own. And you slept cuddling with each other the entire night as you slept.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You two arrived at the agency together, only a few minutes late. Kunikida started to scold you and Atsushi as you two entered the room, your head hung low.

"How many times have I told you that being late messes up the ideal plan for the d-"

"Kunikida!" Atsushi exclaimed, interrupted him from his scolding.

"What?!"

"Can you please save the lecture please? Just for the end of the week?"

By that time you had walked to your desk and sat down, getting to work on the large stack of papers on your desk.

"(Y/N) has been having a really hard time this week. They're really stressed out and the lectures aren't really making their stress any better." Atsushi tried to phrase in tho most polite way.

Kunikida pushed up his glasses. "Fine. But they better not take this as an excuse to slack off."

"Yes sir!"

Atsushi walked to your desk and saw you filling out the paperwork. He pulled up a chair next to you and grabbed some papers and a pen.

"Sushi you really don't ha-"

"I know but I want to. You mean a lot to me and I want to do anything I can to help you feel less stressed out."

You smiled, gratefully. Blush dusted on his cheeks as you did so.

For the next while, you two sat next to each other, totally serene and content while filling out papers. No one bothered you two or asked questions when they saw you two smiling and talking to each other.

"Aww. Look at those two lovebirds! Of only we were like that~" Said Naomi, snuggling up to Tanizaki. Which only earned her a half-hearted laugh.

"Thank you for yesterday Atsushi. You really are the kindest person I know." You said to the weretiger next to you.

"Anything for you, (Y/N)." He replied with a smile.
