Shen Wuyue Xiuji was a Chinese teacher at Namimori Middle School. His life was peaceful, yet interesting. One day after work, while he was teasing the adorable students in his class, a white-haired boy came sprinting toward him from who knew where.
"...Mr. Dazai!" Then the boy wrapped his arms around Xiuji's leg and began to sob.
Xiuji: "??!"
Everyone in the Vongola Family: "???"
Dazai? Which Dazai? Teacher, you have another name?
Looking at the unfamiliar white-haired boy, he instinctively spoke in a tone like a cat with its fur standing on end. "Don't act like that! Are you a cat? Don't behave like a dog!"
"I hate dogs most of all!"
He was stunned as soon as the words left his mouth. Why? Did he know this boy? Why did he feel so familiar?
After that, all sorts of strange people kept coming to see him: a black-haired young man in a deerstalker hat, a pale Russian, a boy with gradient-colored hair who seemed to dislike him, a black-haired girl with tears in her eyes, a blank-faced girl with two braids, an orange-haired woman in a gorgeous kimono, a red-haired man with a weary look...
And finally, a brown-haired young man pinned him against the wall, his blue eyes filled with an almost obsessive, crazed look...
"...Dazai, I found you." His cobalt-blue eyes shone with the joy of having found what he had lost.
Xiuji: "..."
He looked a little familiar. No, very familiar.
Much later, after regaining his memories, the Boss wore a look of despair. "I hate dogs. Why has everyone around me turned into a dog? Can't this messed-up world get any better?!"

In theory, the [World] shouldn't have feelings like favoritism. It should care only about the world's continued existence. But 'Dazai Osamu' was different. Or rather, only this 'Dazai Osamu' was special. He had given the world a chance to live on, so the world wanted to do something, however small, for this human in return.
Though the person in question had no idea, and didn't even want this kind of 'gratitude.' :)
The trapped Xiuji forced a smile. "Thanks so much! World!"
[Before You Start Reading]
* This story has a little crossover with the author's other Shen Wuyue story. Well, sort of.
* The name Shen Wuyue Xiuji comes from the other story. Boss Dazai has seen him before, but the relationship is based on the Chuuya and Dazai pairing in the Scorpion story. They're famously mutually in love, and I have tons of headcanons.
* I'll mark any secondary pairings if there are any.
* The Bungo Stray Dogs world has been rebooted. Some people got their memories back a long time ago, while others have no idea at all.
* There are no supernatural abilities, but KHR's Dying Will Flames still exist, since apparently they're scientific. :)
1. The author isn't very smart, so don't expect too much from the plot. I just want to write a sweet little story about Boss Dazai, so the setting and tone will be lighthearted.
2. The pairing is unquestionably Boss Dazai x Chuuya, with Chuuya on top. Dazai is adored by everyone.
3. OOC warning. If that's not your thing, please don't flame me. Feel free to click away. Thanks.
