Dazai Osamu

Finding information on people was easy for Dazai with his training, and you could say that stalking was a skill he learned on the job.

When your past lover left you for a reason he had not said, stalking you day and night became the new normal for him. You noticed some weird things, like how sometimes you hear heavy breathing outside your window, and yet when you stop to listen closer, all you hear is the wind. Or like how your underwear has been disappearing one by one, starting with your favourite pair. You see, he’s been missing you. That special someone that made him feel a certain type of way. And, well, if he really wants something, why shouldn’t he just take it?

He noted everything you did, the stuff you bought and the cafes you went to. speaking of which- You had just walked out of your usual cafe and turned the corner just as on schedule. just like he plotted a million times before in his head. He trailed along silently. making sure to stay out of sight when in an attempt to loose him you turned down an alleyway and away from the crowded streets.

Excited to loose the people he followed further and further until both of you were met with just a dead end to the alley.

A voice, low, dark and sinister called out from behind you.

"Hah, chose a wrong turn now, didn’t we?” He teased, as if you were good old friends reuniting. “God, getting you away from the crowds took ages. You really gave me a run for my money,"

Turning around you found yourself backed into a corner, with him standing at the exit, blocking your escape.

Dazai already had your whole routine memorised by heart. 6:30, Wake up. 7:00, breakfast. Not a minute sooner. You were too busy trying to get yourself out of bed in that half hour. How’d he know? He liked watching you from your window, of course. You would always have coffee at this one specific place. Always the same order. He liked how easy your morning routine was. You might go to school or work after, and always make sure to hang out with a friend for half an hour after a stressful day, laughing dramatically at whatever stupid joke they made. Tch. He could do that too. At least, he thought so. Then you usually went back home, or just did one last burst of studying, or treated yourself to the library. After all, you wanted to get your sleep schedule back on track, so you’d always be in bed by 10 pm. It amused him. But it grew to the point where just seeing you wasn’t enough.

He decided to act quickly, when you’re alone and tired. Friday afternoon. A harsh day at work, some last minute studying, and turning down a friend offering to go out. He had you in a perfect spot. He made sure to look as effortlessly intimidating as possible, and slipped into your booth comfortably with a small cup of boiling hot black coffee. You didn’t notice at first, no, you were re-reading your last 5 page essay to make sure you got it right, even though your eyes were barely open and your coffee sat practically untouched beside your computer. He’d wait. What’s a few more minutes after months of stalking?

Just how long has it been? A month? Two? It might not matter anymore. He takes care of everything. All doors are always locked. The windows don’t open. He even times your bathroom breaks. An hour doesn’t go by without him ‘checking up’ on you. Basically just him making sure you didn’t escape or break the rules.
