Fanon
This is one of the ships that can become canon because of Dazai's crush on Waitress. However, fanbase of this ship is very small and the ship is often not noticed in fandom because of its biggest rival ship Soukoku.

Despite of this, there's a high posibility of their future relationship. In real life, both of them loved each other and committed a double suicide. However, Dazai survived and the waitress named Shimeko Tanabe died. He wrote about her in his short story collection named The Final Years.
