BSD HIGHSCHOOL HEADCANONS

FEAT: osamu dazai, chuuya nakahara, nikolai gogol, fyodor dostoevsky, sigma, atsushi nakajima, akutagawa ryunosuke

CONTENT: written from a british school pov!! mentions of vaping/dazai n nikolai selling overpriced vapes, atsushi n akutagawa scrapping, fake asthma attack (giggling writing these down)

AUTHORS NOTE: FIRST POST ON THISS ACCOUNT AND LOTS MORE TO COME!! will defo be doing another ones of these it was so fun to write (nikolai was my fav)

DAZAI YR11

dazai would defo be one of those popular boys who does absolutely NOTHING in class. all he does is piss around and fucks with chuuya

somehow he’d be in top set in a few classes and everyone else is like what???? HOW????

brings nothing to school and end up with a bunch of pens

i feel like in yr7-8 he was more introverted and quiet (like he was in the pm) but did a complete 180 change in yr9

LOVES the pepperoni pizza slices in the canteen, forces chuuya to buy a slice for him and throws a fit if they’re not being sold that day

”Chuuyaaaaaa! D’ya have any money- please please pleaseeeeee- they’re not even that expensive! You’re just broke, you seriously gonna let a poor guy like me starve?“

if chuuya doesn’t buy him it he gets atsushi to buy it instead

blows up everyone’s phone. please you’d think he lived in his phone if you texted him he’d respond in less than 15 seconds

had braces in yr7-8

started a business with nikolai scamming the younger years bc he was bored. they planned it out n everything in a maths class and not even a day later had set it up in the toilets. once people acc started falling for it and they were getting money he locked tf in

"It’s 15 quid for a vape.. hey bruv I don't make the rules! (he does) If you're gonna complain and not buy owt' you can piss off."

HAD RUMOURS GOING ABT HIM AND CHUUYA IN YR10. THEY WERE IN THE SAM CUBICAL PUFFING ON A VAPE AND SOMEONE WALKED IN ON THEMMMM, LITCH EVERYONE WAS SAYING THEY WERE GAY N HAD SEX. people still bring it up sometimes and dazai doesn't deny it

lowkey wishes it was true

ALL THE YR8-10 GIRLS THINK HE'S FIT

always has dts so he walks home with chuuya

CHUUYA YR11

does gcse pe bc he's super athletic

once again the yr8-10 girls think he's fit (he is)

got called a leprechaun and he started FUMING, same with being called scottish

got so pissed off at dazai once that he lobbed a pen into his eye which prompted dazai to dramatically fall off his chair and hit his head againnst the floor (chuuya didn't gaf)

every time he sees a yellow car he immedietly thinks abt dazai and starts looking around for him

"why's that car so fuckin' yellow- where's dazai."

50/50 chance that people know he is gonna punch the shit outa him or js think he's into him

stuck up for akutagawa once bc the poor boy was being dragged and now aku follows him around though he’d never admit it

EVERY TIME SOMEONE MENTIONS THAT RUMOUR HE GOES BRIGHT RED AND STARTS YAPPING AND SHOUTING

he denies it like his life depends on it

kouyou even teases him abt it please everyone hangs up on him

NIKOLAI YR11

Nikolai is 100% the class clown you cannot change my mind

owns all the school beef accounts and has videos of all the scraps (makes people pay to see them)

gets fyodor to help him with his homework

He’s the one who stuffs toilet roll down the sinks and blocks the toilets. He drags sigma along with him and sigma js attempts to get him to stop (it never works)

IF HE GETS CAUGHT DOING ANYTHING REMOTELY WRONG HE PINS THE BLAME ON SIGMA AND BEGS FYODOR TO BACK HIM UP LMAOAOAIAO

“WHAT?? no miss I would never- wha- why would I do that?? it was litch sigma miss please you gotta believe me, fedya was watching- weren’t you? WEREN'T YOU??”

(fyodor rats him out 9 times out of 10)

In class if he has a sub and gets told off he whines about it saying ‘oh it’s because I’m russian innit’

draws when he’s bored. doesn’t matter what on, he just vandalises everything

DRAMA/THEATRE KID FRFR (me), DRAMA IS ONE OF HIS FAV SUBJECTS ALONG WITH ART (HE TAKES THEM FOR GCSE)

drama teachers are the only ones that like him

sits with sigma and fyodor at lunch, some year sevens sit behind them so he spins around and taps them then spins back and acts like nothing happened (they think he’s weird and moves)

tried selling a yr7 a empty vape once and a teacher caught him, also hides behind toilet doors so when you open them he jumps out and puts you into cardiac arrest

for the business with dazai, he js pissed around the whole time. their business only lasted a week then they got found out bc some kid was pissy abt how it was extremely overpriced, they ended up getting suspended over it but pleaseeeee they went after that kid HELP

he sometimes put random stuff in the vapes like soap AHAHAHSHSHAH

FYODOR YR11

gets out of pe bc he's anemic. had to fight a war with the pe teachers to get out of it bc they claimed it wasn't a valid excuse, only let him out of it when he passed out playing badminton (nikolai took a video of it and constantly uses it as blackmail)

reads at lunch

got reported once bc somebody bumped into him and he threatened them saying smth corny like 'you better watch your back buddy' or ‘I will stab you at lunch’ and they got scared (tbh i would as well man is intimidating)

slt was called and a bag check had to be done, all they found were books (nerd 🤓)

sometimes quotes authors of the books he reads and completely denies everything if you mention it or question it

"hm? what? why would i quote that- i didnt even say that, what're you on about?" (starts sweating)

i think this is ooc buttt its funny so idgaf, watched deathnote in yr7 or 8 and acted like light as well as bought his own rip off book on temu, he'd wip it out if anyone got on his nerves and everybody took the piss out of him

THIS MADE ME GIGGLE SM I CAN IMAGINE TTHIS IS HOW NIKOLAI MEETS HIM AND HE JS BULLIES HIM

SIGMA YR10

so so soooo awkward

doesn't have ANY friends in his year, lingers around older years so his classmates stay AWAY.

only friends r nikolai and fyodor (nikolai dragged him to his table after seeing him being emo and fyodor tolerates him)

i think he'd be in middle set for most things, the exception being top in english.

common sigma phrase when anyone talks to him

"uh.. well- I uh- I mean-.. yes..?"

was walking behind atsushi one day and a pin off his backpack fell off (read atsushi's section for context). he picked it up for him and gave it back to him leading to atsushi buying him a radnor fizz as a thanks

lowkey wants to be friends with atsushi bc of how nice he was but IS TOO PUSSY TO TALK TO HIMMM

ATSUSHI YR9

has a bunch of cute keychains on his bag and people RIP THEM OFF ALL THE TIME he gen gets so upset over it

gets all his teachers small gifts like chocolates for holidays

most people in the school like him and the yr11s stick up for him bc he's mates with dazai

SCRAPPED AKUTAGAWA IN YR8 BC HE TOOK THE PISS OUT OF HIS HAIRCUT- DAZAI HAD TO DRAG THEM APART BC ALL THEY WERE DOING WAS WACKING EACHOTHER HELPPPP

waves and smiles at sigma every time he sees him

him and akutagawa eventually made up and they're semi friends purely bc aku doesn't want people to start saying shit like 'ooo the emo can make friends'

AKUTAGAWA YR9

he is so judgy he will fucking side eye you in the hallways and shit

EVERYTIME HE GOES TO THE TOILETS DAZAI IS THERE VAPING AND HE SWEARS HE GETS A ASTHMA ATTACK WITH THE AMOUNT OF SMOKE OR EHATEVA

follows gin and Chuuya around and gets them to batter people if they say anything to him

CONSTANTLY picked on for being edgy

"OI EMO! WRIST CHECK?????" or "barcode"

heard abt how fyodor got out of pe and faked having a asthma attack whilst running track, ATSUSHI THOUGHT HE WAS BEING FR AND STARTED SOBBING AHAHAHAHAH

watches horror movies with gin and buys her stuff occasionally (HEADCANNON THAT THEY SHOW THEIR LOVE THROUGH ACTS OF SERVICE)

semi friends with kaiji and higuchi (by this i mean he lets him yap and doesn't complain)

shaves his eyebrows off to seem edgy

short analysis of the new dazai art from chapter 111.5!

please note: this post may contain spoilers for the meursault arc.

i also made a thread about it on my twitter, so feel free to check that out if you'd like! :)

the flowers:

the flower shown next to him is resemblant of a columbine (or aquilegia). it represents love, faith, and (most importantly) hope. there are seven flower buds at different stages of development.

it comes in various colors. in this case, we aren’t able to specify which exactly, but we do see that it is very light compared to the darkness from which it is growing.

in certain contexts, this holds religious significance, which is interesting considering the relationship between fyodor and dazai contains a LOT of religious allusions.

"sprouting in the darkness...a bud of hope" is such a lovely contrast to "a flower that blooms in the dark can only survive in darkness”. given dazai’s past in the port mafia, and how kouyou said those words to convince both herself and kyouka that there was no chance of escaping, it exemplifies how dazai has moved on from his past into being the good man odasaku wanted him to be. 🥹

the clothing:

this is further conveyed by his clothing, as he is wearing his ada outfit!!! he has metaphorically (and, in the near future, physically) escaped meursault!

background:

i love the inclusion of the prison walls behind him, showing how he’s moved on from imprisonment. this also may be indicative of how his moves were outside of meursault, depending on his alliances to carry out his plans.

the chess match:

moving on to the chess piece he’s holding. throughout this arc, dazai has been shown to use the white pawns, while fyodor used the black pawns. him holding a black queen piece here cements his victory over fyodor.

the hand holding the queen is emerging from the light, pictured over a dark background, which may symbolize the dark methods he uses, but the light persona he maintains. despite his ability to align with evil, he still chooses to work for the side of good!

alternatively, rather than dazai and the flower being the referenced hope, one might choose to interpret this as the queen piece being the “bud of hope”, because chuuya (fyodor’s assumed queen) saved dazai and secured his victory!

this idea comes from the queen being able to move freely across the chess board, much like how chuuya was able to move freely around meursault. dazai’s queen was lucy, who provided the ada safety, but fyodor’s queen was never directly stated, leaving many to believe it was chuuya.

the queen is the most powerful piece in a game of chess, so dazai having both queens assured he held the upper hand against fyodor from the beginning, despite the many other factors he had no control over.

that’s all from me. hope you enjoyed these ramblings! apologies if any of this is incorrect. please feel free to correct me if that is the case, or to add on with any thoughts of your own!

[daz4i]

OKAY I'M DONE!!!!!!

this isn't every single character bc some i have a very shaky grasp on so i just skipped them

for some. i had a funny/angsty idea for an aspect and then went with it (for example: kouyou with light). there might be a better option but i like this one

i mostly used one blog for reference bc it has very convenient lists, but i tried to cross check with others as well jic

if you disagree with my takes that's perfectly fine 👍 i will admit i'm no expert on classpects lol and i encourage you to make your own post of this sort, if you'd like :)

if you wanna make art/fics/anything else inspired by any of these...... please tag me in it.......👀👉👈

that being said. here's my list of bsd classpects:

armed detective agency:

atsushi: page of breath

dazai: seer of void 

ranpo: heir of light

yosano: witch of life

kunikida: mage of time

kyouka: knight of space

kenji: sylph of hope

tanizaki: prince of mind

mafia:

akutagawa: maid of doom

chuuya: heir of blood

mori: rogue of life

kouyou: bard of light

higuchi: mage of heart

kajii: witch of mind

q: page of hope

odasaku: knight of space

decay of angels:

fyodor: bard of mind

nikolai: rogue of breath

sigma: page of blood

bram: mage of life

fukuchi: heir of time

chosen guild members bc i'm too lazy for everyone and idk enough about them:

francis: sylph of blood

poe: mage of mind

lucy: maid of space

hunting dogs:

tachihara: mage of blood

teruko: prince of life

jouno: sylph of rage

tecchou: heir of hope

others:

ango: maid of void

aya: witch of time

mushitarou: rogue of heart

bro the ada is the only one who has a chance of surviving this session fr

also if you're already here have some things that made me feel like i galaxy brained big time:

already posted abt it but, kyouka and odasaku being the same classpect (i knew i want them both to be space bc i thought it fit them and their vibe and patience. but then knight ended up being the best class option too. so)

jouno and tecchou being opposing aspects

^in turn, tecchou being the same aspect as kenji

kunikida and aya being the same aspect, and aya ending up a class that's considered "the same but stronger and more chaotic" than kunikida's

mori being a life player :) he's a doctor after all :)))) (tbh his personality fits a thief way more, but thieves are selfish while rogues work for the benefit of others. and i think that's a core thing about him. so!)

i had the doa trio's classpects locked and loaded in my brain for months now. i actually only made this list so i have an excuse to talk about them. i will not budge on these choices

ok that's it. if you wanna i can elaborate on specific choices but i'm way too lazy to explain every single one lol

[lil-vibes]

i would die if you wrote anything expanding on that post about chuuya being taken over by baki and just floating all over the place and speaking with an echo until he gets to dazai at the ADA office - that was a great idea, very cool

yooo thanks man !!!

here you go, a little more brainworms regarding that au!

• when Baki wakes up in a back alleyway and tries to stand up they overdo it and snap Chuuya's spine in the process. they try to walk and all of a sudden they are on the ground with mild pains from the vessel' legs. they aren't sure how a human body works, so for now they decide to just float.

• Baki, in my hc, is very curious for just about everything because it's quite rare that they 'view' the world through a humans' eyes

• piggybacking off of that, i think that they'd have trouble expressing their thoughts in the beggining (speaking in short, sometimes conflicting/unfinished sentences) because using human vocal cords without snapping them is difficult and also words have changed since the last time they were actively using them. Ranpo just chucks a dictionary at them and they absolutely ABSORB every word

• i also think that they'd want to sword fight with both Fukuzawa and Golden Demon/ Kouyou for fun

• they can make Dazai float and he just about gives up on life ( something something 'your human existence can not deny mine' yeah me thinks)

• i personally think that theyd be slightly more chill than expected, however when they get upset, or emotions generally run high, the control over the body begings to wobble. some examples of that being:

- the overlapping voices are the most common ones. they are a mass manifested through war and suffering and vengeance, thus Baki has to be extremely careful of how loud they speak because there's a great chance that someone's eardrums will explode.

- corruption markings are a damn near permanent fixture on Chuuya's skin, more so to help remind everyone that this isn't Chuuya in control right now (Dazai is constantly stressed about it, and has to consistently tell himself that it's fine), but they tend to grow and glow and move around like they are alive too, as if also taking offence that Baki is agitated. they also burn if touched directly

- people around an Agitated Baki feel like they are about to poof out of existence simply by being too close. Mori nearly dies once because Baki can see his general soul and is not pleased. it kinda feels like your blood suddenly starts running the other way, or your like heart is beating backwards and double in speed. not fun !

- sometimes birds fly into the windows. maybe the sky tints red, maybe there is ringing in the ears, static in the brain of those around them. maybe looking at Chuuya's form hurts a little, burns a little, blurs around the edges. what were his features again? what color were his eyes? his hair?

• Baki loves Chuuya and learning all about him :] ( "and his name? what is his name? we would love to know who our vessel is."

"it's Chuuya Nakahara.."

the entity thinks, hums for a bit, vibrations making the lights swim around it, then pleased, it smiles "hmm Chuuya... it suits him a lot" )

• disregarding stormbringer for a moment, when asked how exactly one traps a being like it, Baki kindly informs them that there are runes carved into every bone inside Chuuya. yes, they do mean every single one.

• also, and that's a little.... gruesome, but it's a misconception that Baki and Chuuya share only a consciousness. "it's like that most of the time, but right now what you are looking at is ... ah, let's say, our clothes. we are woven in-between his skin and bones and every blood vessel, but also we are separate. it's like a hand pupet? we are under his skin :)"

• Baki absolutely says unhinged things like its normal

• they also find it funny to tease Ranpo because they recognise just how smart of a human he is but also he's just that to them. a human

• i also have this scene when someone complains about the sun or something so Baki just,,, shifts either the Earth or the Sun a bit so that it's not shining directly at the person. everyone FREAKS abt this btw

• Baki also loves the Akutagawas and Kouyou bc Chuuya loves them :]

some skk things bc i love them:

• Baki tells Dazai, hand pressed against his heart, looking him dead in the eyes with that slightly unhinged expression "no wonder you hold onto warm things, for you have been warm once, then never again. no wonder you seek to be warm again" and Dazai just has to go through his day after that

• okay last thing off of the top of my head, but somehow they (the ada) get into the topic of worship and Baki casually drops that yes! they get prayers sometimes but nothing even begins to compare to the feeling of the worship from their most devoted person. naturally everyone wants to know who that is, and Baki tilts their head a little and then points to a Very Confused Dazai (Ranpo and Kunikida are exhanging money in the backround btw).

("but... i don't worship the hat rack?? what?"

"oh, but that can't be" they sway a little from their perch on Dazai's desk, appearing as if deep in thought. after the day, Dazai knows better. "but we can distinctly recal feeling a sort of warmth from you. say, how do you define worship? because it can be food offerings too. or thoughts about us or even just the pure, unrelenting faith that as long as you believe in us, your wish will be made into existence"

Dazai blinks at them, stunned.

"so now, has your answer changed?" )

• LAST one. Ranpo asks them if Dazai has ever nullified corruption with a kiss and Baki is like we think so? but Dazai denies that hard. Baki counters by saying that every place where 'coruption' has been nullified burns to this day. twice on left the wrist, once at the forearm. once at the right hand, once at the cheek, and once ot the lips. Dazai may or may not work harder to resolve the issue after that (he's never gonna beat the gay accusations)

(end of skk things hh)

• when it's time to surrender themselves back to Chuuyas will, Baki tells the ada + the Akutagawas and Kouyou, that when their time finally comes, when Chuuya is either one of them or dust in the wind, they will remember the kindness they have experienced. that they will live forever in the mind of a god

• Chuuya is so, so confused after waking up

summary:

“It’s fine.” Aizawa says, then lies easily. “It’s a nice doll.”

At the compliment, the kid beams, eyes brightening.

“You think so? Mister Chuuya says he’s ugly but I don’t think so.” The kid twirls on the spot, lifting the doll above their head as they do so.

Aizawa takes a gamble. “This Chuuya…is he your guardian?”

“Nope!” the kid states, popping the p.

They don’t evaluate.

“Can you tell me your name—”

“Oh! And he—” the kid gestures towards the doll. “—can do tricks! Do you wanna see?”

Aizawa doesn’t even get a chance to try and respond, because the kid grips the head of the doll in their fist. As their innocent smile turn sadistic, and bright eyes turn dark, they pull.

Or, While on patrol Hitoshi and Aizawa meet a young, lost kid named Q. And while waiting for their guardian to retrieve them, end up learning that this kid's past is darker than it appears. This revelation leaves them with a lot more questions than answers.

summary:

“We are broadcasting this live above U.A High School and you won’t believe what we are seeing! Everyone, please take a look!”

In the middle of a no-longer-empty track field, were three black vehicles. The cars were parked in a straight line with the perfect distances apart from one another. In front of the line of cars was a table oddly standing out in the middle of the field with black sunshade set over it.

Men dressed in black suits stood in a perfect line between the cars and the table. They stood up straight, chin held high and hands folded behind their backs. It was obvious that these were well-trained bodyguards.

However, those weren’t what shocked the audiences sitting in front of their TVs. No…rather than the men and the cars...it was that single man prostrating on the ground, his attire making him stand out from all the black.

“ALL MIGHT! IT’S ALL MIGHT!” The reporter screamed, causing the microphone to ring from her sharp voice. “The former No.1 Hero who hasn’t been seen since the announcement of his retirement!! But…just what is this current situation?!”

What was the current situation?

That was what Toshinori wanted to know.

Bungo Stray Dogs - Kafka Asagiri/Sango Harukawa Volumes 5-6: Tainted Eyes, Cats and Dogs, and Me Simping for Dazai - A Commentary (*anime spoilers)

-i'm such a simp for dazai, i saw him on the cover and was so delighted. ridiculous

-kouyou and ranpo are the same age? KOUYOU AND RANPO ARE THE SAME AGE?

-in the excitement of the anime, i don't think i appreciated properly the strength of character and the sense of self of kyouka. her will to become something else, something less sinister.

-kenji-kun <3

-okay but why is lovecraft so relatable -.- not leaving home, not wanting attention...

-i love dazai, have i mentioned that lately

-dazai's neck bandages aren't missing as often now. and it feels like the character designs are more set

-NO, DAZAI, YOU'RE NOT IN THE "with yosano-sensei we can keep ourselves healthy, as long as we don't die" GROUP, DON'T SAY "WE," JUST BE CAREFUL, YOU FUCKING DUMBASS

-DAZAI-CHUUYA POSTSCRIPT, HELP ME. i'm imagining dazai has chuuya in a chokehold, judging from chuuya's reaction

-ahaha, according to harukawa-sensei, then dazai has mafia eyes with a tiny touch of a "chance to go back" from having a stained psyche. ahaha...hah... *sob*

-well, in this volume dazai's eyes get "tainted" ie all black when he's about to interrogate kouyou, so i'll assume he's the one whose eyes get a bit tainted once their true nature comes to the surface, but i will keep a close watch on eyes from now on. i've noticed from the start that dazai's eyes span the monochrome rainbow anyway

-akutagawa be tainted to the core eyes-wise

-so when akutagawa's eyes turn white, is he vulnerable and not his usual tainted self- ARGH, am i going to be over-analyzing eyes now?!

-akutagawa and nathaniel have turned into somewhat of literary poets in their encounter, they don't usually speak like this

-honestly, props to yosano for not lopping ranpo's head off when he says "war is so boring"

-CHUUUUUYA. tainted-eyed CHUUUUUYA

-i keep voting tanizaki for the mafia because he'd fit right in, but you know what, maybe we should send them kenji-kun. he'd make everyone insane in one week tops and the mafia would be disbanded

-kenji's wide-eyed sparkly-eyed "OOH!" at chuuya? that's me when i see chuuya

-"do you think the agency is some stray dog" fukuzawa says- okay, so if the agency isn't a dog, and the mafia are dogs, it makes sense for dazai and kyouka to dislike dogs, but it's interesting that akutagawa dislikes dogs, but also he doesn't like himself very much either, so- *DEEP BREATH* i must stop with the cats and dogs thing

-ranpo, my lil bb <3

-yes yes chuuya's bio, we know, you dislike dazai as he dislikes you. sure jan. also chuuya is older by almost two months and you can't convince me they've never used that in an argument

-"dazai-san told me" DAZAI-SAN HAUNTS EVERYONE'S THOUGHTS, EVEN NAOMI'S!

-my my, what big tainted eyes you have there, mr lovecraft

-margaret's skill "able to make things wither away by exposing them to wind"?? we've barely seen that, i hope she gets to do more in the future

-i mean, kunikida my man, mr grape of wrath literally sticks seeds in his neck and grows vines, what's "simply bizarre" about lovecraft's tentacles? what, the transformation? your jinko literally transforms into a tiger

-yes, for tanizaki, naomi comes FIRST, before the agency, before good or evil or morals. to the rest of the agency, arguably the agency comes first. my man tanizaki, let me show you the way to port mafia. please child, relieve my fears. HE EVEN GOT TAINTED BLACK PUPILS FOR A BIT THERE, FFS

-me reading bsd: "mmhmm. mmhm, i see. mmhm." me reading bsd when dazai: "mmhmm :). mmhm, i see :))). mmhm :)))))."

-ONE MINUTE OF SCREEN TIME! IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ONE MINUTE TO INCLUDE DAZAI TEASING THE DOG IN THE ANIME

-yes so, if the port mafia are dogs, and this dog barks at dazai, then dazai is a cat, and if a tiger is a cat, and natsume cat started the agency, and atsushi belongs to the agency, and the agency are the "foes" of port mafia, the agency are cats, cats vs dogs, and if dazai is a cat, then dazai decidedly belongs to the agency, do you see where i'm going with this

-aaand dazai continues to eat dog treats as though they're popcorn. okay sure

-dazai be like "only three plans? three HUNDRED plans, who do you think we are"

-dazai's "war is a living creature" fits very well with how he overpowers fyodor in the "end," with fyodor "losing" because dazai constantly readjusted his plans and improvised as things unfolded

-dazai be like "my mafia senses are tingling" when he ditches atsushi

-i'm sorry, but my man dazai is so beautiful. such a pretty man. such a pretty princess. i cannot.

-my girl higuchi doesn't have tainted eyes

-look at that man. look at that whole man. (*dazai. obviously)

-dazai is so wtf about mori-san's proposal to his returning to the port mafia that his eyes became untainted for a sec there.

-HAHAHA that's where you left the chapter?!?! WITH MORI'S QUESTION?! FOR A MONTH?! nooo!

-the bits about the actual authors are so interesting. higuchi feels nothing like the real higuchi. she feels more like her sister tbh

-re: "the heartless cur": I LOVE IT OMG. THE DAZAI-AKUTAGAWA MEETING STORY IS SO INTERESTING AND I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR IT FROM THE ANIME FOR AGES

-THE FRINGES OF AKU-KUN’S OUTFIT WOULD APPEAR TO SPROUT FLOWERS?!?! F-FLOWERS?!

-re: dazai's reputation: "he would kill his own parents in a second, take down buddha himself at first glance, and laugh it all off with cold cruelty afterward." TELL ME MORE

-dazai has a habit of letting his kouhai try to kill him before he adopts them, huh? a ceremonial ritual if you wish

-AKUTAGAWA WAS GIVEN AN ACTUAL HONEST CHOICE BY DAZAI! he would literally have provided for him and gin and then disappeared! but aku-kun chose differently!

-AND GOING BACK TO MY CATS-DOGS THING, mafia akutagawa "the heartless cur," "the silent mad dog"?? hello??

Death Note au for BSD?? yes please >:))

Younger Dazai as Light- Odasaku died a year ago, robbing his life of any colour it had, and he puts on a bubbly facade around his classmates and friends (the ADA) but in reality struggles to feel anything. One day he comes across the death note, and is stunned as he realizes its powers.

Oda had told him before he died to ‘be on the side that saves people’ (same as canon) and Dazai realises that the death note is his chance to fix the world, becoming Kira to get rid of criminals who (in his mind) killed his best friend.

(An older, less immature Dazai like in the series might have made a different choice, but in this au he’s more like 15-yr-old PM Dazai- except still traumatized from Oda)

Mori as Ryuk, who explains the power of the shinigami to him, amused with Dazai's decision to kill criminals using the notebook (He'd look even more terrifying than Ryuk as a shinigami tbh, less monstrous and more human-like but that makes him all the more eerie).

Akutagawa as Misa, holder of the second death note and puts Kira up on a pedestal, revering him for murdering the criminal who killed his family. Dazai uses him to further his goals, feeling nothing towards him although the younger boy borderline worships him (pretty similar to canon).

Chuuya as L, along with the rest of the PM as the police force. In this au Chuuya still has a hot temper but it’s more of a controlled, and efficient rage- he might be amiable in company but as soon as the door slams shut he’s gritting his teeth, kicking his chair back as he takes his anger out on a new case.

(At first I thought Chuuya as L might not fit due to the differences in intelligence, but really Chuuya is far smarter than he lets on- he's a tad gullible though)

Kouyou as Watari, who discovered 8-year-old Chuuya and brought him to an orphanage for intellectually gifted children (Wammy’s House), and being the most intelligent he became almost like an uncrowned king. Aka a parallel with the king of the sheep, if you will.)

[yokohamapound]

Hello! I was wondering if I could request a post about nicknames but with gin, higuchi and kouyou please

Hey! I'm so glad to have an ask for the BSD ladies so thanks for sending it in!

Characters: Akutagawa Gin, Higuchi Ichiyou, Ozaki Kouyou

Warnings: None

Akutagawa Gin

Gin doesn't talk very much in general. At work, this is mostly because her voice gives her away as a girl, and she feels like her cute voice doesn't fit with the ruthless assassin image she's cultivated within the Port Mafia.

As for verbal affirmations and pet names, well, she is an Akutagawa, after all. She had the same awful childhood as Akutagawa. One that didn't really make it the norm to tell people how you feel about them. What little communication they had was focused on survival.

Based on how she dresses outside of work, Gin has had a chance to explore the softer side of her personality as she's grown up, but I still don't think using pet names would come very naturally to her.

She'll probably start off simple by sticking a -kun or a -chan on the end of your name for a softer form of address.

Very, very slowly, she'll work her way up to a very flustered "honey" or "sweetheart".

Only in private.

Higuchi Ichiyou

If Higuchi really loves you, she calls you "Akutagawa-senpai". Kidding.

Higuchi's kind of a romantic, but she also gets flustered easily. She won't be going for any kinky, out-there pet names or anything too cutesy. Let's face it, most of her daydreams about romance have been aimed at Akutagawa, and the thought of calling him either Daddy or snookums is enough to make her die inside.

Obviously she likes you for who you. She daydreams about what to call you, and immediately goes red when one of those spills out of her mouth by accident.

Honey is the one she likes the most.

Ozaki Kouyou

I think it comes as no surprise that Kouyou will refer to her partner with flower-based terms of endearment.

She might use general terms like flower, blossom, or petal, but you'll also get a special flower assigned to you based on your personality or how she feels about you at any particular time.

Kouyou is definitely an expert in hanakotoba, the Japanese language of flowers. Even her clothing is loaded with meanings—her kimono has both bellflowers and red spider lilies. In hanakotoba, bellflowers are supposed to mean "endless love" and "honesty". Spider lilies, especially red ones, are meant to signifiy "death" or "abandonment".

Pay special attention to any flower arrangements she sends you or places around your home because she's an ikebana expert and they definitely contain hidden messages. Given that Kouyou is a Port Mafia executive, it'd probably be wise to know ahead of time that she's mad at you. Then you can apologise with a bouquet of your own.

KOUYOU JUST ONE CHANCE PLEASE

[anonymousewrites]

There's a Beauty; There's a Beast Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight: Final Petal

            Dazai sat in his lonely tower as the castle shook around him. Part of it was from the battering ram, part was from the second to last petal falling. Only one remained. In his mind, it was pointless to fight. (Y/N) was free with her father; she would not return. Dazai knew he would be a beast forever, but he was resigned to his fate as long as she knew (Y/N) was happy. The mob didn’t matter. He could die, and it wouldn’t matter.

            (Y/N), I just wish I had the chance to tell you I love you.

l

            The townspeople spilled into the entryway, which was now empty and dark.

            “Aren’t you concerned about this castle being infested with dark creatures?” asked Sigma. “If there is dark magic here, there’s no telling what could lurk in the shadows…”

            “Don’t lose your nerve, Sigma,” said Fyodor.

            “Where are we? This play seems almost familiar…” murmured a townsman. “Like I’ve been here before.”

            Another man leaned down to look at a teapot and teacup. “Huh, they even have faces painted on. This one looks like a grandmother.

            Kouyou opened her eyes. “Grandmother?!” She huffed in indignance. “Attack!”

            Fires flared up around the room, and the furniture came alive. The fight had begun. As townspeople fought against living household appliances, Fyodor ducked away and followed the path the mirror led him to. He was stalking in prey: the Beast. Behind him, Chuuya leapt down the stairs and knocked many men to the ground.

            “Goddamn, that fucking hurt,” he grumbled.

l

            Mori was still pacing through the town square, bored. He was only here to get paid, not for village drama. He paused and frowned when he saw Fukuzawa leaning against the carriage. Mori blinked.

            “Hello.” Fukuzawa nodded to him.

            Next to them, (Y/N) galloped by on Philip while Mori watched, impressed that the pair had escaped. She had discarded the fancy green dress for the white shirt and skirt underneath.

            “She’s always been adventurous,” remarked Fukuzawa.

            Mori just sighed. It looked like he wasn’t going to get paid. These small-town jobs are always trouble.

l

            “Excellent! Beat them to a pulp! Only the strong survive!” cried Akutagawa from the top of the stairs, surveying the fight below.

            “Well, then, the strong better join.” Akira had woken herself enough to come down and join the battle.

            “Go and teach them a lesson!” Akutagawa was pleased to have her up and about.

            Akira stood on the landing. “Alright. Get ‘em!” she commanded the books next her. They zipped down into the faces of villagers. Several angered men stormed up the stairs. “Fucking finally, some guys with guts!” She frowned. “Wait!” The men froze in confusion. “You look terrible! If I’m going to fight, someone in the battle needs to be properly dressed, and unfortunately, I can’t do that right now. So you’ll have to do.” Clothes, controlled by Akira, flew out of her drawers and whipped around the men until they were in elegant suits like the three musketeers (except for the third, who wore a lovely dress, which Akira thought looked darling on him). “There! Now, fight!” She slammed into them, and they went tumbling down the stairs. She sighed happily. “They went down in style. Beautiful.”

            Kouyou laughed as she hung onto a chandelier and poured tea onto the people below. Unfortunately, she slipped. Her friend gasped, but Sigma caught her. He elbowed the next man.

            “Thank you,” said Kouyou graciously.

            “Well, Fyodor has gone too far, so I want to help if I can,” said Sigma.

            “You’re doing wonderful!” called Akira from upstairs.

            “Hey! If you’re here, you may as well do something useful!” shouted Chuuya, kicking men down.

            “You want useful?! Fine!” Akira jumped over the railing and smashed into the ground, knocking men unconscious. “There!” she panted.

            Chuuya frowned but relented. “Adequate.”

            “If we ever get back to human form, I’m kicking your ass,” grumbled Akira as she watched Atsushi set off sparklers to spook the villagers out.

l

            Dazai heard footsteps but didn’t react. He just watched the pinprick lights of torches flee into the courtyard below. At least my friends won…

            “Hello, beast.” Fyodor smirked and raised his gun. Dazai turned to him. “I’m Fyodor. (Y/N) sent me.”

            Dazai’s eyes widened. “No…She wouldn’t…”

            “Oh, but she would,” said Fyodor.

            Dazai glared at Fyodor. “She wouldn’t. She’s not cruel.”

            Fyodor’s eyes narrowed. “You care about her…You love her!” And my angel cares about him. He needs to go. She’s mine! He forced a merciless laugh out. “You really think she’d fall for someone like you?” His possessive nature took hold, and he fired a bullet into Dazai’s shoulder.

            Dazai gritted his teeth and glared at Fyodor before smirking. He might have found his kinder side with (Y/N), but his demonic side still remained. Dazai raised an eyebrow at Fyodor. “Are you implying she’d fall for you?” he hissed. “Because at least I’m trying to be a better man. You’re just a monster from what I can see.”

            Fyodor kicked Dazai in the side, sending him falling to another level. He smirked and holstered his gun. Footsteps echoed up the stairs. Fyodor turned and reached for a knife, but it was gone. (Y/N) stood in front of him, holding his weapon. She threw it down the stairs, where it clattered to the ground floors below.

            “(Y/N)!” exclaimed Fyodor. For once, he was surprised. He thought he had handled her, and yet here she was.

            “Get away from him,” hissed (Y/N), a dangerous element in her voice that neither man had ever heard.

            Dazai lifted his head from the platform at the sound of her voice. She came back! She came back!

            Fyodor smirked and approached (Y/N). “You’re here. Wonderful. You can watch me destroy your precious Beast. Then, I’ll send your father off to an asylum where he won’t be any bother to us. And finally.” Fyodor grabbed her arm and wrenched her close enough that if she hadn’t hated her, it would have been romantic and intimate. However, (Y/N) merely despised it. “You will be mine.” He pulled out his gun. “And the Beast’s horns will be decorations above our door!”

            “Never! I don’t belong to you!” (Y/N) pushed him away.

            The ground beneath him cracked, and he tumbled down to the next floor. His gun fell farther. Fyodor ran after it; (Y/N) went the long way, returning inside to change floors.

            “I’m going to rip you limb from limb, even after you’re dead!” hissed Fyodor at Dazai.

            “For taking what’s ‘yours?’ ” questioned Dazai, jumping between towers. “Newsflash, (Y/N) isn’t someone you can own.”

            (Y/N) jumped as a bridge broke beneath her. She was on Dazai’s room’s balcony, across from him. “Dazai!” she called.

            He looked at her. “(Y/N)! You really came back!”

            “I had to help you!” shouted (Y/N).

            Dazai jumped down onto a bridge with gargoyles. He was making his way to (Y/N). A bullet rocketed into his arm as Fyodor jumped down next to him. He grabbed a fallen stone and clubbed Dazai over the head. Dazai stumbled onto an unstable stone bridge. Fyodor walked onto it. The possessiveness and desire for victory pumping through his veins blinded him to the cracks in the bridge.

            “Fyodor!” shouted (Y/N). “Stop!”

            Fyodor just smirked and swung at Dazai again. The Beast caught the club this time and stood. He cracked the stone, threw it to the side, and seized Fyodor by the collar, dangling him over the faraway ground.

            “Dazai!” cried (Y/N).

            His eyes swiveled to her, and his heart clenched. He stepped back and threw Fyodor down. For (Y/N), he’d be a better man. He wouldn’t act on his anger and kill Fyodor. “Go. Get out!”

            Snarling, Fyodor scrambled to his feet and darted down the tower. Dazai turned and jumped to (Y/N). He stood and took a step towards her. He was going to tell her how he felt, what she meant to him, how she made him feel, that he lov—.

            Bang!

            He collapsed as a bullet ripped into him. Fyodor reloaded his gun casually from the bridge level with the balcony. Even as (Y/N) tried to pull Dazai to safety, another bullet pierced his skin. He lay on his back next to the table with the precious green rose. As Fyodor smirked to himself, (Y/N) got up and scrambled for a rock. Lifting it above her, she threw it at Fyodor. It hit and fell to the bridge beside him. As he stumbled from the blow, the bridge rumbled beneath his feet. Fissures spread like spiderwebs. It cracked; Fyodor Dostoevsky fell to his death just before he could see the next sunrise.

            On the balcony, (Y/N) desperately applied pressure to Dazai’s wounds. She was trying not to cry in panic over his injuries. She held him close when she felt the bleeding continue. Dazai held her hand tight.

            “You came back…” he breathed, wincing.

            “I told you, I had to save you,” she murmured. “Now I’ll never leave again. I’ll be right here by your side.”

            Even in the midst of the haze of pain, Dazai’s heart swelled at the admission. “I-I’m sorry…but I think I’m going to leave…More painfully than I would have liked…”

            (Y/N) shook her head. “No, no, no! You’re going to be okay! We’re together now! It’s all going to be alright!”

            Dazai gently touched her cheek. “I’m glad I got to see you one last time…”

            The final emerald petal fell, and Dazai went limp.

            “No…” (Y/N) sobbed. “No, please, no!” She held him tight to her heart. “Please, no! Come back! Dazai, come back!” Tears ran down her face. “No…”

l

            Below in the courtyard, the exhausted servants watched the villagers go.

            “We did it…” breathed Atsushi, even as he felt his limbs stiffening as the curse set in completely.

            “Yes…We did…” Akira went still and keeled over. She was completely wooden and lifeless.

            “No!” croaked Chuuya as his limbs solidified. He turned to wood beside her as his fellow servants became lifeless. The curse was complete.

l

            (Y/N) sobbed over Dazai’s body. Her heart was broken beyond repair. “Come back, Dazai! Please! I love you!” She kissed his forehead gently.

            Behind her, Natsume emerged from the shadows and smiled. Freely given.

            He raised a hand, and the rose petals glowed emerald, rejuvenating themselves and floating. The glass shattered into tiny specks of green light. Shining brightly, magic flowed around (Y/N) and Dazai. The emerald glimmer enveloped Dazai and lifted him into the air. His claws faded into human hands. His horns faded into clouds of light. The bandages around his head fell away. His fangs receded. His matted hair smoothed into fluffy brown locks. Dazai landed and turned to her, a bright smile on his face. On his human face.

            “D-Dazai?” (Y/N)’s eyes widened, and her heart leapt for joy.

            “It’s me.” Dazai stepped forward. “It’s me.”

            (Y/N) slid her hands over his cheeks and behind his neck. He pulled her close.

            “I love you, (Y/N).”

            “I love you, Dazai.”

            He tugged her in and kissed her. With emerald still sparking around them, (Y/N) kissed back happily. True love incarnated strengthened the freeing magic. Around them, the castle rebuilt itself. The sun crested the horizon, illuminated the grand castle as spring was ushered in after many moons of ice. As its first rays touched the kingdom, the household was released.

            In a burst of cloth, Akira was freed, nearly falling over from the sudden transformation. Luckily, Chuuya smoothly caught her and held her.

            “Well, we’re human again.” He smirked teasingly. “Are you going to kick my ass?”

            Akira leaned in and considered. “Maybe later.” She kissed him, and he gladly reciprocated.

            Akutagawa grumbled and stretched his sore, stiff limbs.

            “We did it, Akutagawa!” chirped Atsushi, already bouncing around with boundless energy.

            “Yes, I suppose we did. You were right,” admitted Akutagawa.

            “It certainly feels nice to be human again,” said Kouyou. “Are you feeling alright, Kyouka? No light-headedness or injuries?”

            Kyouka shook her head and smiled. “No, I’m alright.”

            The townspeople approached, looks of bewilderment on their face. However, with the curse lifted, their memories were restored. They saw their dear friends and celebrated their return. All around, joy reigned. No one noticed Natsume slipping into the crowd, his work finished. A black carriage rolled up the castle, and a man with dark hair jumped down.

            Akira’s mouth dropped open. “…Dad?”

            “Akira,” said Mori.

            “I…I thought I would never see you again,” said Akira. “The curse took your memories, and I never thought you’d return to this land.”

            “Well…I wasn’t exactly here for a good reason, but I’m here. And I came as soon as my memories returned.” A tiny smile appeared on Mori’s face. “You’re my daughter. That never changed.”

            Akira grinned. “I missed you, Dad.”

            On the other top of the stairs, (Y/N) and Dazai stood watching the joyful reunions.

            “My prince!” said Atsushi, bowing as Dazai, human as ever, stepped onto the front steps.

            “My old friend, thank you for everything you did these past years for me. Thank you for never giving up on me,” said Dazai. He turned to Akutagawa. “And Akutagawa, you did well.”

            The poor boy nearly keeled over at the compliment.

            “Well, it looks like you were the heroine of this story.”

            (Y/N) turned and looked at the dark-haired, ruby-eyed woman in a stunning black and red dress. “Akira?”

            She threw out her arms dramatically. “Who else looks this fabulous? Other than you, of course.” She winked.

            Chuuya wound an arm around her waist. “I think I have style on par with yours.”

            “Really?” Akira raised an eyebrow.

            “You know you love it.”

            Akira used his choker to pull him closer. “Mhm, I do~.”

            (Y/N) laughed and leaned into Dazai. “More loves reunited. Today is quite the day.”

            Dazai kissed her forehead. “A day for celebration.” He turned to the flirting pair. “Do you think you two can pull together a show?”

            Akira and Chuuya smirked. “Of course.”

            “Are you getting a chance to perform the song you wrote for mine and Dazai’s date?” asked (Y/N).

            Akira raised her head high. “Kouyou did a lovely job, but it’s my turn now.”

            Dazai kissed (Y/N)’s hand. “Well, then, my love, it looks like we have a ball to prepare for.” He turned to the gathering before him. “You are all invited to the celebration!” A cheer went up. It truly was a joyous day.

l

In a scarlet gown, Akira stood next to her pianist, Chuuya, dressed in his finest complimentary suit. The usually temperamental pair were enthralled in their own performance. It had been so long since their last together, and all they could feel was bliss while making music together.

(Akira) “Tale as old as time, Tune as old as song, Bittersweet and strange, Finding you can change, Learning you were wrong!”

            On the ballroom floor, couples danced and twirled elegantly. In the center, (Y/N) and Dazai waltzed. (Y/N) was clad in a white dress with roses stitched into the bodice and skirt. Dazai wore a tan suit with a turquoise pendant. He still had bandages on his arms and neck, but his honey eyes shone in the sunlight streaming in through the windows above. Together, they spun around the dancefloor, as in sync as their hearts.

            Fukuzawa watched his daughter with a smile. She had found love and helped bring happiness to others through her fearless drive. He could not be prouder or happier for her.

(Akira) “Winter turns to spring, Famine turns to feast, Nature points the way, Nothing left to say, Beauty and the Beast.”

            Dazai pulled (Y/N) closer. ““I would give you the world if you asked me.”

            “I don’t want the world,” teased (Y/N), stepping slightly away.

            “What do you want?”

            (Y/N) smiled. “I want you.”

            “Then I give myself wholly to you, my love.” He twirled her to him. “Your will is my command.”

(Akira) “Certain as the sun, Rising in the east, Tale as old as time, Song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast! Tale as old as time, Song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast!”

            Dazai and (Y/N) kissed. True loves together at last.

(while being shorter than him)

— a chaos of fun!

Word count : 1.5K

Shelf : Hardback

Genre : Romance and fluff, slight crack

Note : Sorry, anon! There was technical issue so I have to post this without your ask! I hope these are detailed enough to your expectations? I wrote more than I expected I would. Once again, thank you to the-foreigner for helping me figure out the tags!

Please enjoy!

 Where have you been all his life?

To say that Chuuya would simply be attracted to you because of your height sounds shallow, so let me phrase it this way; Chuuya is so used to having look up to people since many are taller than him all his life, both men and women, so it kind of does something different to his psyche when he sees you, being shorter than him.

Not to sound stereotypical but it's a given instinct that when you see someone shorter than you, you get the impression that they're cute and it triggers your protective instinct, right? This is what Chuuya feels about you. And since this sensation is new to him, he cherishes it.

Also, since Chuuya leans more towards masculinity, in your relationship with him, you're making him feel more manly. To speak a bit bluntly and in a nutshell, you boost his ego.

You make him feel even more confident and comfortable with himself. It's not that he wasn't confident before he dates you, you're just making him bolder with more sense of control and masculinity, making him feel validated. More dominant and more alpha.

But what does all of that mean, you ask? Here's the highlight of this post; Chuuya will pamper you as your prince charming while simultaneously being your playmate. Perfectly balanced.

Why? Because seeing you being petite, smaller than him, makes you appear as someone he should protect, but the romance doesn't replace the fun. When it comes to being Chuuya's darling, things never get overly cheesy. Yes he can be romantic (he is), but he's not the type to use sweet talks 24/7. He uses his "rough" ways to communicate his romanticism, one of them being your equal, hence the "playmate" dynamic.

Chuuya tells himself that you're his cute, little darling. He will say this to you straightforwardly except the "cute" part. If he casually and accidentally calls you cute from a slip of his tongue, you can definitely tease him back to get even.

He can be the big spoon and the "top" of your relationship, but he will be a switch if he's feeling sluggish. Being the "lead" sometimes makes him need a break, not from you, but from the energy it takes. Chuuya is an emotional guy and can be downright hysterical, and that takes energy, so he will turn to you for solace when he's worn out. To achieve that, Chuuya will utilize your height to bury his face into your neck or lean his forehead on your shoulder when work wears him down.

"Stay like this for a while," His voice blurs into mutters with his face on your shoulder. "Just three minutes."

Pat his head. Do it.

If you're the one feeling low, just put your head against his chest when you're both standing. Chuuya will be confused at first, but he'll silently ruffle your hair with your forehead still against his chest. It will be calming, I promise you.

Whether you're Port Mafia or a regular civilian (I find it easier for him to date someone from the PM though), you can count on Chuuya to be protective. He's already a protective guy by nature but when he sees you, his shorter darling, anywhere close to danger, that protective instinct doubles or even triples.

In fact, he wants you to rely on him. It's not that he wants you to be dependent—Chuuya just wants you to know that he always has your back. He's the combination of loyal and protective, so he wants to prove those qualities he takes pride in to you. Trust is a strong element for him, and by letting him know you count on him, you’re already securing his utmost loyalty and love.

One of the highlights of this post is his hat. You're shorter than him and it makes it easier for Chuuya to just plop his hat on your head on random occasions. No words, no thoughts, just putting his hat on you. It's the subconscious acts of love like this that makes him feel whole with you.

Kouyou will like you for colouring Chuuya's life. She'll make comments about how you both are fun to watch at, especially when you're both doing your silly dating antics, such as "My, my, energetic as always, aren't you both?"

Speaking of dating antics--Emotional maturity? We don't know her.

Doesn’t matter if you're only 2 cm or maybe 10 cm shorter than him. He will take any height advantage and have fun with it. A little too much, in fact.

Chuuya is not above using his ability to put objects in places he knows you can't reach but is close enough for you to struggle, just to watch you squirm. Confidence does things to this man, mischief being one of them. On the instances where you really can't reach up and it's not because of his tricks, something like this is bound to happen ;

"Huh, can't reach the top shelf, can ya? Don't worry, I've got you." He says, chest huffing with pride, before getting a ladder himself.

"...."

Mostly will lift you up to help since he wants to take the small chances to bond with you over simple moments. Short people solidarity. The height boost isn't much since short + short doesn't exactly equate to being tall, but hey, it's the thought and the comedic moments that count.

Speaking of comedic moments;

"Have you reached it yet?!" He asks loudly, craning his head from below you to see upwards. You're sitting on his shoulders and he's making sure he doesn't move around too much, or else you'll fall.

"Just a little bit more—!" You grunt, arm stretched. "Lift me up more, will you? Jump or something!"

"Do you want to fall? Forget it! Just reach higher!

"Maybe I can stand on your shoulders. Hold still--"

"Oi, this vest is 60,000 yen! And this is already the highest I'm lifting you! That's enough, I'll lower you down and just use my ability!"

"No! I'm already grazing it!"

And then you both will proceed to bicker in that weird, eye-catching position, for at least 2 more minutes. It will end if you either jump off him or he floats you down using his ability, and usually it's the latter.

[Sometimes the positions will switch (you lifting him up) but he's a solid 60 kg, it will be a challenge for your muscles and a good workout routine. Good luck getting him to agree to it though.]

[If that happens, chances are your legs will wobble just within seconds from lifting him. Good thing is it increases the humour and mischief in your relationship, downgrade is that it's too silly and stupid to look at to make it feel romantic]

Want to get back at his pranks? Here's a solution. Chuuya will vaporize if you use his clothes. He's taller than you, so let's say his shirt looks like a dress on you.

"W-What do you think you're wearing?!" Is what he shouts, but his flustered face says otherwise. [Bonus: for more critical hit, wear his choker(s). It does ‘things’ to him]

Yeah it's the little things like this that boost his confidence and optimism, and you don't mind him acting like the prince charming in an armour.

If anyone calls you (or even both of you) short, Chuuya will be pissed and defend you and himself since he assumes you also don't like being mocked for your height. He takes it upon himself to "fight" for you too. He has the "we're in this together" mentality.

And so do you. If any Port Mafia's enemies try to waver your confidence or Chuuya's by mocking your heights, it's going to be hell at that point.

If Dazai ever spots you and Chuuya together in public, he will say "Congratulations, Chuuya! You finally found someone shorter to date!" just when Chuuya mumbles "What's that shitty Dazai doing here?" under his breath.

Chuuya will try to kick his face while yelling "Huh?! What'd you just said about us!?"

Don't take what Dazai said personally, he did it to get on Chuuya's nerves, not yours. Instead, why don't you hold Chuuya back so he doesn't chase Dazai?

“Don’t you ever get bored arguing with him?!” You struggle to pull him back. You have to shout to outmatch his shouts.

Chuuya will be interested in height-related shenanigans with you, such as actually reading obviously fake advertisements that promises height growth and asking you if you're interested. He will only do this with you because he knows you won't make silly/berating comments about him. As I've said, trust is the secret ingredient in dating Chuuya.

"Hey, do you think this is real?" He shows you the poster he picked up. The dirt left by his sole on it is still there.

"Chuuya," You try really hard to stop sighing. "At this point, we have to stop lying to ourselves,"

But if the advertisement doesn't sound fake, let's say it utilises supposedly "effective acupuncture techniques", you will lessen the mature act and entertain him a bit.

In short, you and Chuuya will have an energetic and youthful relationship. It doesn't matter where you two are, be it in the cities or the ground zero of battle; if you two are there, people will see one hell of a lively, energetic, short duo.

How You Met: Port Mafia Style

Before I start, thank you @jadegreenimmortality for sharing and liking my first one! It gave me the confidence to actually write this one! 💕 This is similar to the How You Met: ADA Style, except this one has spoilers via Gin's and a TW for human trafficking and blood via Aku's, so not as fluffy as before either. Those are the first two under the read more, so if you don't want to see spoilers or read about above mentioned TW, then please skip them. Characters like Ace, Oda, and Ango will be included in a later edition of this series. With that out if the way, here you go!

Gin: You were taking a back alley home to avoid the usual foot traffic around lunch time. You saw a small-framed man walking opposite you in the darkened street, his lower face covered in bandages with a black cloak wrapped around himself. You clutched your bag tightly and moved to give more space between you as you bumped into a dumpster. Locking eyes, you bolted for the corner. After a few minutes, you felt safely alone, relaxing until you heard the quick pitter-patter of footsteps. You turned to see the most beautiful woman dressed in a gray shirt and slacks, face red as if she'd been hurrying, her long hair messy and framing her face. In her hand you saw your wallet.

"I saw you running from someone back there and I think you dropped this."

Ryunosuke: The ocean breeze felt nice against your skin as you sat up against the warehouse by the docks. You were in the middle of unwrapping your lunch when you felt multiple hands grab at you, yanking out your earphones. A hand covered your mouth as you heard foreign words being exchanged among the traffickers. Tears filled your eyes wetting your face until you felt warm liquid covering your arms. The traffickers lay dead before you as a man whose face you'd seen many times on wanted posters walked rigidly towards you, his black trench coat fanning outwards in the wind.

"They were conducting business on Port Mafia grounds. Speak nothing of what you've seen here, understood?"

Chuuya: Sighing, you pushed open the door to dimly lit nightclub while the sound of jazz filled your ears. You were tired from work and needed a drink to help unwind. You skimmed the bar and sat yourself on a barstool next to a short red-head who was lazily swirling red wine in his glass. You stared at the menu bewildered by all the options while the bartender eyed you expectantly. Your brows furrowed, unsure of what to order until the man next you straightened up in his seat looking at you with piercing blue eyes.

"They'll have a glass of 2009 Vega Sicilia Unico. Put it on my tab."

Hirotsu: You were silently admiring the many different pieces at the latest art exhibit to come to town. The well lit gallery looked like perfection in your eyes. The droves of people coming and going couldn't even detract from its beauty. You came across a lonely corner of the exhibit and sat on a bench to observe the painting before you. The darker colors had muddled into the lighter pastels as if to taint them. You pondered various interpretations of the piece as an older gentleman took a seat next to you, eyes appraising the painting.

"As with all things in this world, light becomes tainted with darkness. You must have a keen eye to enjoy a piece like this."

Tachihara: The sun was shining, there was a light breeze and the trees provided just enough shade. It was the perfect atmosphere for your afternoon jog. You laced up your shoes and were off on your merry way. As you were jogging you noticed a young man with ruddy red hair run ahead of you. Trying to remain inconspicuous, you upped your pace to pull ahead of him. That was until he easily began running faster. After a few minutes of back and forth you had both broken into a full on sprint until you reached the end of the trail you were on, with him reaching the end just before you. You wiped your brow and looked up seeing the cheesiest grin.

"Best two out of three?"

Mori: You were honestly too old to be running around in the park and climbing on the playground equipment, but it was a quiet time where there were no children around. This was probably the only chance you were going to get to relive your youth. You felt the familiar rush of excitement as you climbed up the large set and jumped, grasping for the handle of a monkey bar. Only you didn't grasp it. You fell to the ground, bracing the full weight of your body on one forearm, hearing a loud "pop". Your shoulder was in excruciating pain and you could feel the heat building as it began to swell. You felt a gentle hand firmly holding your body still as a man with long dark hair and tired eyes examined you. He placed his other hand towards your injured shoulder, looking you in the eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm a doctor. But, this is going to hurt."

Higuchi: Your friend had been helping to push you along the trails, since the uneven ground was sometimes difficult to navigate alone in your wheelchair. But, lunch had finally caught up with your friend and they needed to make an emergency pit stop to the restroom. They engaged the brakes because of the incline and headed off to do their business. You were enjoying the chirping of the birds and the Ray's of sunlight streaming between the trees. Until your brakes broke. You felt your stomach sink as you rolled backwards, unable to see where you were going. You were about to use your hands to stop yourself when the chair stopped and began moving forward. You looked up to see a soft-featured blonde woman with her brows knit with worry.

"Are you alright? That could have been a nasty spill."

Kouyou: When you found the clearing in the forest, it felt like heaven. Your own personal sanctuary. You'd been coming here to practice guitar for a while now. Softly, you began adding in vocals as the breeze carried your voice away. The music entered your eardrums and you slowly lost yourself in it. So much so, that you didn't even notice the light and swift footsteps that began dancing as you played. That is until a flash of pink blurred your vision. You stopped playing to see an angelic woman twirling about and glancing at you with her cherry eyes. Her giggle twinkled like chimes.

"Please, do go on. It sounded lovely."

Kajii: The stars in the sky were absolutely gorgeous tonight. Winding down with a beer after the festival, you sat down on the soft grass at the bank of the river. You had hoped to see more of the fireworks, but it was so crowded, you could barely have seen in a foot in front of you. You then spotted bright, colorful lights not far off down the river from where you sat. Your curiosity got the better of you as you wandered down to where you saw a man with goggles and a lab coat furiously arranging various powders. He lit the first one, creating a small firework. The sound of your shoes kicking up some pebbles in the ground caught his attention. He grinned maniacally as he met eyes with you.

"You're going to want to stand back. This next one should be huge."

I would also like to drop a one shot request of Chuuya falling for mori's god-daughter (also an executive) who has an ability which allows her to summon and control demons while singing but she ends up getting captured and goes missing for 2 years then one day they find her and he confesses to her after she gets rescued (rlly fluffy). thanks in advance love Safiyah <33

❥—Cassiopeia 

❥—Chuuya Nakahara x Reader 

❥—Fluff 

ᴀ/ɴ: i am glad you enjoy my writing and i hope you are doing great as well; hopefully you like this one too 🥺💘 also let this cure your hearts after the last one- also the chant is inspired by Obey me ❣️

“Chuuya, I would like for you to meet my daughter.”

Right then a beautiful and fair lady came out of the door. Chuuya beweildered by her beauty went silent; such a beautiful creature existed?

“Y/N, meet Chuuya; he is one of the best executives here!” Mori introduced you smiling, to which you wave your hand to the ginger and smiled warmly “Hey Chuuya! Pleasure meeting you.” Chuuya smiled shyly and waved back “S-same here..”

Mori then smirked and questioned “Chuuya what’s the matter? You seem rather uncollected.” The said male waved his hand around in denial as he was stopped by a giggle from the lady beside him. “You are quite cute; I hope we get to know each other more.” You said before exiting for your mission.

Chuuya let out a sigh of relief putting his hands on his knees as blush crept onto his face. He made a total and utter fool out of himself; Isn’t he the strongest executive? Why was he so damn shy around you? The thought started clouding his mind until Mori snapped him out of his daze and asked “Are you perhaps interested in Y/N, Chuuya?”

Damn right he is. You were so sweet and kind and that just hit bullseye in his heart. Ever since then he would take almost any opportunity to be with you and talk with you. You were slowly getting to know each other better.

You have been together through tears and giggles and pain and sniffles. He knows you deeply and you know him just as well. After all 3 years of friendship isn’t a minuscule period of time; there multiple moments he had seen you in that made just how much of a wonderful person you are even clearer.

You got along with everyone.

Akutagawa, you both were like best friends and would tell each other everything. You were one of the few he accepted help or their company and you were always a great duo in battle.

Kouyou, the woman that took him in adores you. What more could he ask for? Kouyou helped you and guided in your times of unknowing what to do and how to do it. You were sisters and she valued you deeply, she would always hang out with you and talk with you about anything and everything.

Mori, the man who you addressed as your father. Despite Mori not being biologically him but he treated you as such, as if you were his daughter. He gave you all his love and made you feel appreciated and took care of you.

Seeing your kindness towards your allies Chuuya was dazzled, how could someone so sweet and kind be in the Mafia? His thoughts were completely erased when he saw you in battle.

Multiple screams, all saying the same thing “Beware of the Port Mafia’s devil!” Chuuya was wondering about who are they referring to, was it him? He suddenly heard someone singing behind him.

“Hear me, denizens of darkness, you who are born of shadow and you who give birth to it. Hear me and do as I command! I, Y/N, call upon you to send forth one of your number! I summon the demons of chanting despair!”

That voice, it sounded so angelic but the words were venomous. He turned around to be met with the sight of you floating, eyes glowing purple as demons from around you rose from the earth and attacked all the men in front of him.

‘Woah..’ He couldn’t be more in love. Your elegant movement while fighting were a sight to behold. Your voice was enchanting yet deadly, he would be grateful if it was the last thing he heard before his death.

He loved how there was a total difference between the way you treat your peers and your enemies. Did he really deserve if your feelings were mutual? It was new for Chuuya to doubt himself. But there wasn’t any route to choose when his heart now belonged to no one but you and that made him helpless before you.

“Look at the stars, Chuuya !” Right, you loved looking at constellations, and he loved how the stars shined and danced in your eyes as if they were their ball room.

He looked up and saw a weird look star, maybe a constellation? He then pointed at it and asked “Y/N, what constellation is that?” You smiled brightly before answering “That’s Cassiopeia! It represents love.” You then turned to the ginger finding him close to you and somehow both of you involuntary moved closer, slowly about to close the gap between you.

“Hello Y/N.” You both jumped and looked at the owner of the voice to see that it’s Mori. Chuuya saying every cuss word in his mind while you both were as red as roses, however Mori was grinning mischievously. It’s nice being a party pooper at times.

However that’s all in the past.

 Now you were gone, no one knew where you were taken and if you were even still alive. 2 years too long for the ginger, too long because of his suffering and sadness through them.

When he first found out you were taken he was devastated and went on searching everywhere with the mafia men; everyone in the Port Mafia was searching for their Y/N.

At the night he found out he couldn’t sleep, and wanted to start the search as soon as possible but days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months and then into years. Chuuya was starting to lose hope but still searched. Everyday he thought of you, he would drink wine and anything to wash it all away.

Even now after all what happened and the two years that had passed since then they still didn’t stop searching. He didn’t stop searching.

He was walking down the streets returning back from a mission as he came across a warehouse, it looked rather sketchy so to quiet down his thoughts he entered it and his eyes could not believe what he saw.

You all beaten up and bruised. Body looking as weak as a stick and something to silence your screams and chants on your mouth, his body loved involuntary and hugged you tightly quickly freeing you from the chains that hampered you from fleeing from your misery.

He sent the location to the Port Mafia and now everyone was going to come and make who did this to you pay. He picked you up and as he looked behind him he found Mori with wide eyes barely himself believing that indeed you were alive.

The old man took you from the hands of your savior and inspected your face, those who did this to you will go through hell. “Chuuya take her back.” Mori said sternly and Chuuya nodded, he wasn’t going to let you go out of his sight again.

And there he was with you on a bed, multiple tubes sticking to your skin and a oxygen mask. You looked really weak and pale, but it didn’t stop him from loving you. He loved you even more because you managed to live through that and made it back to him at the end.

Chuuya fell asleep as he was waiting for any sign of your awakening, and you woke up instead adjusting to the light and your surroundings. This wasn’t the dark and frightening warehouse you were in...you were finally saved. After two years of misery you were finally saved.

You looked to your side to find the ginger fast asleep alongside you, you smiled softly and gently played with his hair. Chuuya felt something on his head and slowly woke up to see you pulling your hand away, but he held it tenderly and put it back.

“I have to tell you something when you recover, Y/N.” He said as he was enjoying the feeling of your touch. “Why not now?” You questioned while he looked up at you with a smile and mumbled “because it’s something you need to be told outside of this white chamber.”

And so as time passed you were finally back to how you were. He blindfolded you and led you to a garden and went behind you. “Chuuya where are we?” You wondered while he chuckled and took your blindfold off and said “See for yourself.”

Your eyes were now looking at the garden you last saw Chuuya before your disappearance, but right now there was a picnic set and surrounding it were petals on a shape of a heart and candles lighting up the the space. He then pointed above and looked at you.

 There it was, the constellation of love, Cassiopeia. He placed a hand on his heart and softly said “Love is what I feel for you. Very deep and strong love.” He walked towards you and held your hands between his bringing them up to his lips and placed a light kiss to them.

“I never stopped loving you, and from the moment I saw you took my breath away, you made me the prisoner of love and the poor who seeks for your love and touch. Everything about you is beyond description, I can’t find the words to describe it and I am afraid that it had already eaten me up. I am afraid that now you are the only who can calm the beast of love and adoration that only wants you and won’t accept anyone but you. So will you please give me a chance and let me show you how much love my heart feels towards you?”

A smile made its way into your face and vision getting glossy. You pulled the ginger towards you and connected your lips as gentle as one would touch a flower’s petal. The light of the stars shining on both you, it looked like a scene from a movie.

A portray, a beautiful portray, that could be drawn by millions but never be as beautiful. And Cassiopeia was the witness of their true and never ending love.

“once I believed

love poems were foolish

now I read love poems

just for the sake of it

and yet perhaps I want

to reach a higher state of poetry

I don't know if that's right or wrong

but such a feeling persists anyway

and sometimes irritates me

provoking outrageous desires

once I believed

love poems were foolish

yet now I do nothing

but dream about love“

-from “Exhaustion” by Nakahara Chuuya
