reading through the "Dark AU" tag and maybe you've already answered this but if you haven't I have a burning (no pun intended) question: does "Dark" Yata get as nervous around girls as canon Yata? because the thought of that is just. really funny. will beat up anyone who disrespects mikoto but cannot ask a woman for directions.

...I hadn't thought about that but I'm going to go with yes XD Like imagine Dark AU Yata is this super violent thug type character, if anyone says a single thing bad about Mikoto Yata will happily squish their head like a melon with his baseball bat. Other gangs totally fear him, everyone knows that in a fight Yata won't stop until either all his opponents are dead or he himself is. Like the rest of Dark Homra he's known as this terrifying gang member who won't hesitate to stoop to violence to get what he wants and he's got like this fanatical devotion to Mikoto, to the point that even his own fellow clansmen will likely get beaten up just for saying something slightly less than praising about Mikoto in Yata's presence. He's a dangerous unpredictable force of pure violence that most normal people would be too afraid to ever provoke, and even members of other gangs try to keep away from him.

And also, he can't handle women in any way, shape or form. Just imagine Dark!Yata, terrifying and wild and willing to beat up anyone just because he can...and then a high school girl walks by and asks him if he knows what time it is and suddenly he's blushing and stuttering and probably calling her 'ma'am' and just doing a complete turnaround from how he was before. It's like the one thing that he and normal Yata have in common – imagine one of those scenarios where Dark!Yata escapes into the normal K world and he's causing all this trouble and maybe trying to like hunt down Fushimi and normal Yata is doing whatever he can to stop his evil self. They end up face to face in a final battle, both of them bloody and bruised but neither one willing to give up. Yata punches his dark self through the window of a nearby building and jumps in after him, ready to end this once and for all – except it turns out the business is a strip joint, a bunch of scantily clad women are staring at them both, and both Yatas just go bright red and scream like five year olds, grabbing each other by the hand and running out of the building at top speed.
