Interpretation of Dreams - SKK Reverse Big Bang Fic - Preview 1
It was with his right leg dangled far out over the gap that the phone in his pocket rang, a quiet sound with a low vibration. After a moment’s deliberation, he released a weary sigh, and leaned backwards, allowing the safety of solid ledge back under his dress shoe. He pulled the phone out of his pocket and flicked it open.
“Ah, Mori-san,” Dazai replied, not bothering to hide the sound of the small yawn that escaped him. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”
“Any activity to report?”
The breeze chose that moment to pick up, rustling Dazai’s hair gently as it passed. He could taste the tang of ocean salt.
“It’s quiet,” he murmured. “It often is, now.”
“After tonight, all major threats to this organization will have been stamped out,” Mori said. “The Port Mafia will have sole jurisdiction over Yokohama’s underbelly. But this mission must go smoothly if we are to assure the end of this conflict for good.”
Dazai’s dark eye narrowed.
“Has the situation changed?”
“Our sources informed us a little past four this afternoon that the targets have captured a powerful ability user. One of Kouyou-kun’s subordinates later confirmed it – the ability user was a stowaway on a ship from Europe, and captured before he could even leave the harbour.”
“In that case, it should be simple enough to crush the remainder of this organization and recruit this ability user for ourselves,” Dazai said carelessly. “Yes, yes, I’m sure he’ll be grateful for the rescue, or receptive to being convinced of the Mafia’s benefits. That is the reason you’ve taken the time to inform me of this new development, eh, Mori-san?”
“No. Eliminate him on sight.”
I hope you enjoyed! I am honoured to be working on this fic as a part of @skkreversebang in collaboration with @originalartblog, and very excited to share the first chapter of Interpretation of Dreams with you soon! First artwork preview can be found here!
