bestfriend's brother — ryuunosuke akutagawa x reader

warnings : smut, p in v sex, creampie, exhibitionism (?), voyeurism, petnames, friends to lovers

pairing : akutagawa x reader

story below the cut ! minors dni (or do)

synopsis: your bestfriend, gin, always knew you liked her brother. on the day she invited you over, she gets "permission" from akutagawa allowing you to sleep in his room for the night.

"onee-chan!" gin called out as she walked towards her kitchen counter and hovered over it to see if her brother was coming.

"i have a friend coming over tonight, i was wondering if you'd let her sleep in your bed for the night since your going to be on a job until tomorrow," gin asked as she gave him the biggest puppy eyes akutagawa had ever seen.

"who's coming over?"

"y/n"

after he heard your name, he automatically said yes. no other words needed to convince him to let you use his bed. he had definitely folded like a samsung galaxy flip phone. he had the most biggest crush on you and you were so oblivious to it. he never really showed his feelings towards you, but he would always act differnt around you and treat you better than others.

"really?! thank you!!"

akutagawa unexpectedly came home in the middle of the night since he finished his job early. he expected to see you sleeping when he walked into his room but you were in your underwear and in a tanktop, your legs were hanging off his bed and you were scrolling on your phone.

the moment he saw your bare ass, he got hard and his dick began to twitch in his pants.

"oh, hey akutagawa!" you waved, as he just nodded back at you. next thing you knew you were being spread apart for him, moaning his name.

"that's it, you're doing so good for me darling," He praises as he thrusted his fingers into you, making you ruin his sheets.

"you're so wet for me," He smirked, "You're taking it so well princess,"

"are you sure this is a good idea?" You asked, looking into his eyes as you grabbed his hair to the pleasure he was giving you.

"you're the one who "snuck" into my bed. don't complain about it now, just enjoy it my love, but not a little too much because gin is in the room nextdoor,"

I don't think we're gonna stay as friends after tonight.

"be a good girl and behave for me okay?" he whispers as he pushes himself in you. his cock wasn't as big as you thought it would be, it was smaller than you originally had thought, but it was hella fucking thick. his cock was exactly made for you, hitting every single spot inside you that you didn't know that you had, and it filled you up so good.

You were feeling the thrill of Gin catching you guys having sex, the thought of her seeing you two doing it was horrifying to even think about, but at the same time you loved it.

"Your sister would kill me if she caught us doing this," You moaned out trying to focus on what words you were trying to slur out but you were too fucked out to even focus on anything but the pleasure he was giving you in between your legs.

"You're such a good girl, you're all for me," akutagawa groaned as you nodded, trying to stay as quiet as you could, but he was so deep inside of you. His hand going over your mouth to help you quiet down.

His hand was over your mouth, rashoumon was keeping your hips down onto the bed, and he was fucking you relentlessly making you only focus on what was going on in between your legs.

He thrusted into you once more, making you moan into his hand. He picked up his pace making you tremble beneath him. You were grabbing anything you could at this point. His hair, his bedsheets, his back, just anything that was within your reach.

"Fuck," He groaned, "I'm gonna cum," He said as he picked up his pace in his thrusts. His thrusts were getting sloppier and messier, and you were feeling that sensation in your stomach wanting to become undone.

"Ryuu, please,"

"Do it inside,"

"That's a good idea, I really don't wanna ruin my bedsheets," He praised as he was fastening his pace, his mouth sucking on one of your breasts and his hand playing with the other. His mouth travled to your neck, attempting to leave owner marks on you.

"F-fuck—" he moaned, "You're so pretty for me princess," He praised again, letting out his warm seed inside of you, with you moaning out his name as loud as you could.

His body fell next to right next to yours, there was sweat on his forehead and his head was in the crook of your neck. "I hope you know that I have a crush on you,"

"I do too," You breathed out as you turned to him to kiss his forehead.

Bonus ! —

As soon as Gin heard you two from the hallway as she was getting herself a drink, she immediately put on her headphones to cancel out your moans and akutagawa's groans.

she texted her groupchat with tachihara, higuchi, and chuuya in it, saying "I told you guys they would hook up with eachother by the end of the night," following along with a voice message of you moaning out akutagawa's name.

Akutagawa as your boyfriend ☀︎

Umm happy late b day Aku…😭 I’m totally super late for this I KNOW. But! I’m doing it anyway! >:3 late or not :P Plus I Just wanted to write for him since I really like this dude (〃ω〃) (Light blood, death and killing mentions but not in detail)

Akutagawa b day hcs first >;}

planning everything out and hiding it from him is kind of a task. 😅 the guy’s pretty stealthy himself so ya gotta make sure he doesn’t sneak up on you while your prepping things.

Buuut with the help of everyone from the port mafia (except Mori- joking! he does help but Elise does 90% of the work) you planned a mini party <3

Gin got the food! (Figs and tea enters chat)

Higuchi got the decorations! (streamers, balloons, tables, chairs)

Hirotsu keeps akutagawa busy (tea and chatting LOL)

Elise makes the banners (hints poorly drawn dead versions of everyone—extra blood for aku<3)

Kajii makes (lemon shaped) confetti poppers!!

Koyo hosted/recorded it all 💗

Chuuya brought wine and the cake (both were really expensive and tasty good job Chuuya)

Q brought lots of presents!! :3

Annnnd Tachihara! Brought some ~port mafia style~ party games (you played mafia LOL)

now general relationship things 😚

He treats you like how he does Gin, there is peace between the two of you and you have friendly interactions. (Romantic as well, for you) he will even go as far as to do favors for you but we’ll dabble in that more later ☆)

acts of service is his #1 love language. There’s no convincing me otherwise. When I say ‘he will do anything for you’ besides killing this is what I mean. You really don’t have to ask either. I talk about this some more later but, examples: done with your plate? He’ll take it. He remembers you said you needed xyz, he got it for you. You said you wanted to ____ but you fell asleep, so he did it.

hope you get along with Gin because to continue a relationship with him past 2 minutes, you need to. He will never choose friends over family. I stand on that.

honest man.

Its canon, of course this would apply to a relationship too :)

you never have to worry about him lying, thankfullly. the bad news is…this guy isn’t just honest..he’s brutally honest 😀

which he’s not dumb, but he’s also not one to pacify feelings. So say you created something and you’ve been working on this piece for a while now, (whether your an artist, writer, sculptor, something else—whatever), he takes a look at it and singlehandedly points out all the flaws 🧍‍♀️

not in a rude way-

just genuinely telling your mistakes. Which- I know can hurt because you spent a lot of time on it…..but as lest you can fix it now..? 🤷‍♀️

He respects you. Of course he does! How could you love someone you don’t respect?!

why I’m mentioning this then?? Because to him, respect is very important. There’s few that he respects personally and not because of his job.

like Dazai (sorta bc of his job but shh), Gin or Atsushi (somewhat)

And just to clear it up those he has respect for because of his job would be mori or hirotsu

so the fact that you have his respect is a mile stone!! 👯‍♀️💃💃

He’s loyal but it ain’t a fault 😋🤪

seriously tho this dude is still chasing Dazai even after he “disgraced the mafia’s name” and left to the ada

So for you?? This is simply proof that he ain’t neva leavin you, and you ain’t neva leavin him 😙 (I don’t make the rules)

even If he disagrees with your actions/opinions he will talk it out with you 😱

now he might sound a bit upset, and if your acting absolute bonkers rn and need some sense smacked into you- he might yell too. But that’s mostly if it’s for your well being.

other than that, yes the hotheaded Ryuu will calm down for you (that kinda rhymes ☝️🤓)

Bonus!:

living with the Akutagawa’s! ( ✌︎'ω')✌︎

going more into acts of service, you and Gin hardly ever have to worry about chores or errands

he doesn’t really do it for the purpose of your validation, and genuinely doesn’t expect a thank you either

”hm? Oh…it’s nothing.”

Is his response when you try to thank him

he does it because he’s responsible not for praise

although I will say, seeing as though he has a lot of respect for you, as I said earlier, you may get a semi flustered/shocked facial expression

not necessarily blushing, just a expression that shows it caught him off guard ;P

Its not uncommon to see him cleaning around the house and asking if you have any laundry

housewife Ryuunosuke LOL 😂

When goes out to get groceries he asks you and Gin if there’s anything specific you want him to buy and if yes, he’ll get it for you

just like in the anime with Gin, he doesn’t mind doing favors for you as well <3

if you decide you wanna clean up or go to the store yourself he won’t stop you and be like ‘nonono I got it you sit down 🥺’. I don’t mean this in a bad way but he’s not a gentleman on purpose

I feel he’s the type of guy to do things that you consider gentlemanly but he just considers it being polite

oh it’s fine he’s got the groceries 👌

got a order for pick up? Oh well he was going out anyway, he’ll get it 🤷

he’s got the door 👍

don’t worry about the bill he’ll pay it (restaurant or house bill 😉)

another thing…! ♡

sometimes when you and Gin wanna watch a movie but Ryuu’s still doing the dishes….

Rashomon!

do the dishes :3 (while he watches the movie with you guys)

I wasn’t gonna write these at first but I’m real glad I did! I love these and finally wrote for our guy Ryuunosuke!!

WHEN I TYPED DAZAI’S NAME IT AUTOCORRECTED FO DASANI AT FIRST HAHAHHAHA

[trains-boy]

Big fan of trans Aku and cis Atsushi but I think it would be funny if we reverse it

Trans Atsushi asking Akutagawa to get him pads and Akutagawa comes home with the whole pad isle. Gin usually is stocked up at all times so he's never had to go buy them before and it was the toilet paper situation all over again

Atsushi: Hey Ryuu can you get me some pads, Midol, and a chocolate bar please.? My period started. If it's too hard I can ask someone else-

Akutagawa: You are foolish to assume that I'm incapable of something as simple as buying three items, Jinko. I will be back shortly.

Fifty minutes later

Akutagawa, with fifteen bags: there were a lot of options. I got you fifty different types, in case you want to experiment with them and find the right one. I also got you a few of the big Midol bottles, only seven though. For chocolate I went to the highest rated shop in Japan and got a few boxes of the fan favorite chocolate.

Atsushi:

[starlightshadowsworld]

What is the reaction of dazai (port mafia brothers AU) to shin soukoku?

Well...

Dazai: It's horrible! He's kind, he's hard working. He's got a stable job at one of our front companies, some cat cafe. He makes cupcakes and saves us all our favourite ones.

Odasaku: I thought you wanted Akutugawa to make new friends.

Dazai: Well I changed my mind!

Ango: How did Akutugawa meet Nakajima anyway?

Dazai: They met at the library a while back. Gin's got into baking and Ryuu wanted to find a recipe book so they could bake together. Like the amazing big little brother that he is.

But while he's a great cook, he was completly and utterly confused and supposedly Nakajima noticed and offered to help him.

Odasaku: That's kind of him.

Dazai: I guess.

Ango: Oh the cat cafe? I've definitely seen them together when I've walked past. They look like they're having fun.

Dazai:...Now you mention it Ryuu's been spending a lot of time there. But only on the days Nakajima isn't working.

Odasaku: He's been over a lot too hasn't he?

Dazai: Yeah, whenever I go to visit Ryuu, Nakajima is usually over. Even early in the morning which is werid, he was wearing Ryuu's pj's just this morning and looked so embarrassed to see me.... Gasps

Odasaku: pats his shoulder Don't freak out you don't know for certain.

Dazai:...Yeah, yeah it might've just been a sleepover. Yeah, I don't know if there's actually something going on between them holding his glass so tight it starts to crack

Ango: Could be worse, at least you haven't walked in on em.

Dazai:.... faceplants onto the table

Odasaku: pats his head There there. To Ango That was funny but your not helping.

.

......He's getting there?

(If Atsushi's in this AU he ran away from the Orphanage earlier, working at a Port Mafia front organisation and apart from the full moon stuff he's doing alright.)

[zukkaoru]

🖤 the body i'm in 🤍

Once the coughing has subsided, Ryuu whispers, “My body is a warzone.” He sets the glass down. “It cannot even hold enough food to improve my health. My lungs are rotting. I cannot run for more than a few minutes before I must stop to catch my breath. I must rely on my ability to compensate for my physical disadvantages, but in doing that, I will never be strong enough for Dazai-san. You do not want my body; yours is everything I wish mine could be.” It would be worth it, Gin thinks, if it meant she could feel at home in her own skin. She would take Ryuu’s terminal illness, she would take his dysfunctional lungs, she would take his too-thin frame and his skin that bruises at the slightest pressure and his perpetual cough and his weak immune system. She would take everything he hates about his body and wear it with pride because at least she wouldn’t be so feminine.

or: ryuunosuke and gin find themselves, over the course of seven years.

(ao3)

Other than the occasional coughing fit, Ryuu doesn’t make any noise in his sleep — he stays completely and utterly still.

It was odd and at first a bit off-putting, but thankfully Atsushi’s grown used to it over time. In fact, he would go so far as to say he’s felt grateful for it; it’s easy to tell when something is out of the ordinary.

Now is one of those times, because it tells Atsushi that Ryuu is awake. More than that, he’s thinking about something, which means Atsushi should wait for Ryuu to speak up instead of falling back asleep.

“Atsushi,” Ryuu eventually whispers. “Are you…”

When Ryuu trails off, Atsushi takes a brief moment to gather himself before he slowly sits up and turns to his side, resting his body weight on his elbow. “Awake?” he offers. Then he smiles. “I might be.”

Ryuu doesn’t startle at the suddenness of Atsushi’s response, but his eyes do widen a fraction. “Oh.”

“Oh,” Atsushi echoes. Then he raises an eyebrow and asks, “Did you want me to be? I can pretend to. Or you can have Rashomon knock me out — I won’t fight it.”

Ryuu squints at him, clearly unimpressed, before he sighs. “You don’t need to pretend,” he snaps, irritated, but his heart isn’t in it. “And Rashomon won’t hurt you anymore, you know that.”

He rolls his eyes. “And you know that the same thing goes for Byakko. It’s a moot point.” Then he gives a sigh of his own. “What’s wrong, Ryuu?”

Ryuu blinks rapidly. “What makes you think something’s wrong?”

Atsushi shrugs. “You make a certain face when something’s troubling you.”

“No I don’t,” Ryuu counters.

“Yes you do.”

“No I don’t.”

“Yes you — you know what? Never mind. I’ll take it back if you tell me what’s wrong.”

“Nothing is wrong, Atsushi,” Ryuu says quietly. “I just…”

Atsushi waits a moment, but it’s clear Ryuu doesn’t plan to continue. Atsushi holds his gaze and prompts, “You just…”

Ryuu swallows. “I just wanted to tell you that I love you, I suppose.”

Atsushi feels his mouth open a bit and his eyes widen a bit. He can feel the moisture suddenly building behind them and his heart feels so full he’s afraid that it might burst out of his chest completely, because it isn’t often that Ryuu says those three words.

That isn’t to say that he feels Ryuu’s love any less, or that he feels like something’s missing. After all, Ryuu shows it all the time in subtle yet obvious ways, and that’s enough for Atsushi.

He shows it by refraining from asking Atsushi about his nightmares after Atsushi tells him that he doesn’t want to talk about them. He just holds Atsushi and stays silent.

He shows it by allowing Atsushi to help him through a coughing fit despite Gin telling him he hates being touched during them. He even goes so far as to let Atsushi help clean him up after the worst ones.

He shows it by insisting that he be the one to sleep closest to the door. (Atsushi is content to let him think that being closer to the door will change the fact that the moment any danger presents itself, Atsushi will be blocking Ryuu from sight before Rashomon can so much as begin to move.)

Which is what makes it ironic that whenever Ryuu does say it, Atsushi tends not to say it back. Not that he doesn’t want to, because he wants to more than anything, but he doesn’t because that’s not what Ryuu wants.

Ryuu doesn’t want him to because even if he doesn’t understand why Atsushi loves him, he doesn’t doubt that he does — after all, Atsushi says it all the time. What he does doubt is that Atsushi knows about his love.

So instead all Atsushi does lean forward, tuck a stray strand of hair behind Ryuu’s ear, and whisper, “I know.”

Because he does, and the smile Ryuu sends him in response tells Atsushi that he believes him.

I'm almost certain I saw that during early result checking, and I am SO sorry to that one person...

ANALYSIS BELOW THE CUT

Unsurprisingly, Shin won by a LOT. What did shock me, however, was that Gin got second place. I had no clue there were that many gin fans?? Where are you people at...

Another thing that surprised me was that Midori was...really low actually. I was expecting him to be second, but no...he's 9th.

Due to the points system, a few things like Rio Ranger being below Alice is debatable, but...do you really want to put Ranger in between the Yabusame siblings again? It's also insane how Sara scored a fair few more votes than Joe, yet Joe still won.

If anyone's curious who won based on votes instead of points...I'm not writing that out again. Sorry!! This post just took fucking ages to write and it was entirely because of the list I don't want to do that again... ahaha..

ALSO. REKO AND ALICE AND RIO TOGETHER THAT CLOSE... YOU WERE SO NICE UNTIL YOU WERE EVIL.

In terms of placement, Shin won 1st place for 1st and 2nd, but Sara shockingly overtook him in 3rd.

Also the poll did have some...suspicious activity. Namely this complete duplicate answer HOWEVER it also has 4 Saras in a row here which is very funny.

This is also I think the only exact pair of duplicates but I don't wanna check the data again...

Also shoutout to the LEGEND that only answered their first favorite and put Mishima. You might've only gotten 17th, but you left a huge impact on this poll because you had the funniest answer.

anyways, enough rambling. this was neat!

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

Hello, I've seen some takes about higuchi being paid much less than akutagawa despite having a high rank and being his direct subordinate, do you think that's true?! I loved your meta on higuchi, it's really good.

Um. I think it's rather unclear but - possibly?

We know Akutagawa gets paid a lot, judging from Atsushi's reaction to his paycheck in one of the omake (at least, I'm pretty sure it was from there). Higuchi probably does get paid less, as she is lower ranked and also hasn't been with the Mafia for as long.

However, I also want to comment that the Akutagawas seem to not spend very much - the beginning of that omake is Atsushi spotting Akutagawa at the same grocery store, where things are implied to be cheaper. The macarons that Gin gets in another omake are the kind of treat they clearly don't spend on too much. It makes sense, given their origins and heavy focus on survival - they are probably hoarding whatever they make, just in case. Also - both Ryuu and Gin make what can be assumed to be a decent amount of money.

We don't see Higuchi's parents, only her and her little sister. I doubt they have anyone else, considering Higuchi went to "a profession that isn't suited for her" in the first place - it's likely they were struggling for money and Higuchi took the jobs she could. (Also that irl Higuchi's stories typically focused on lower-class and poorer individuals - I think it makes a lot of sense if BSD's Higuchi was poor.). However, I don't think they're outright struggling by this point in the story. They seem to be able to live fairly securely, from what we've seen. Her Mafia paycheck is probably still much more than any Agency member's.

But a lot of the money she earns likely goes to her little sister. If she's not old enough to work, then Higuchi is the main provider or breadwinner. Money she does make is likely used up faster than the Akutagawas too, who are both making money and likely living as frugally as possible. So, even if the difference in their salaries isn't that big, Higuchi might go through what she makes faster, if her little sister really is dependent on her (presumably she's going to school and needs books and food and whatever else - that adds up fast).

It's hard to say without further focus in the manga to be quite honest. I hope we get a little more, but as for now, this is my take on it.

I'm glad you enjoyed my Higuchi analysis! That makes me really happy to hear. She deserves more fan love :)

[sickficideas]

cough medicine || sskk sickfic

ao3! hurt/comfort 💖 no warnings!

Atsushi realizes now is the time to test his stealth.

He's gotten home from work pretty late. It's two hours before midnight and he's so ready to go to sleep after an incredibly long day at the Agency, but he's facing a dilemma.

Ryuunosuke is asleep in his bed. Of course he is. He often comes by without warning whenever Gin isn’t home with him, and Atsushi’s come to expect it. He doesn’t like being alone, evidently, much less sleeping alone. He’s never told Atsushi why, but he doesn’t need to. Atsushi understands.

That’s not his dilemma, however. Ryuunosuke hasn't been well recently.

Atsushi refuses to sleep in the same bed as him, but not because of Ryuunosuke. Because Atsushi is the most restless sleeper he knows, and Ryuunosuke is a light sleeper when he’s ill. It’s really not a good combination, and it creates a cycle of Ryuunosuke not being well rested and then feeling worse the next day. Atsushi is horrified that he’s making things worse than he needs to be.

So on days like this, he sleeps on the couch.

Only, he needs to sneak into his bedroom to grab a blanket.

He tries to remember what Kyoka taught him. Breathe so quietly that you can’t hear yourself, she said. That was the first step. Don’t have any hesitation in your moments. Plan out your route. The faster you are, the better.

He’s reaching into the closet when he hears the mattress behind him shift.

"Jinko…?"

Atsushi wasn't expecting a word out of him, but part of him is still hoping that maybe he hasn’t seen him, he’s only guessing, so Atsushi is in the doorway on his way out with a blanket for his night on the couch.

"Where are you going…?"

Ryuunosuke definitely sees him, Atsushi turns around and sees his tired eyes on him head lifted only slightly, without any energy to make any further movements.

Atsushi almost cringes at the way his voice sounds, because it sounds like it hurts. It’s so scratchy and hoarse. It was starting to sound like that when Atsushi saw him yesterday. He’s hoping it’s just from lack of use, but he knows better than that.

"Oh, just - to the couch," Atsushi says nervously like he's been caught doing something bad. His first inclination was to continue to ignore him and keep walking, but now he's worried Ryuunosuke needs him for something. "Do you…need something?"

"You," he croaks, reaching out a weak hand in his direction, "come here."

Atsushi bites his lip. Of course, he wants nothing more than to sleep beside him, but the guilt won’t let him. "But you're not feeling well, Ryuu, and I move a lot in my sleep, and -"

"It's fine," Ryuunosuke tells him, and Atsushi realizes he won't be able to worm his way out of this because Ryuunosuke is the most stubborn person he's ever met. Even if this is about his health and rest.

Atsushi sighs and drops his blanket right outside their room to climb into bed with him, albeit rather reluctantly. Ryuunosuke sits up, something that takes quite a bit of effort, it seems, before he reaches for a glass of water he seems to have set aside on Atsushi’s nightstand.

It’s just his luck, of course, that a coughing fit starts before he can take a sip of the water.

Atsushi had already laid down but he sits up right away to lay a hand on Ryuunosuke’s back as he coughs. They sound so painful and tired like they’ve been plaguing him all day, and Atsushi’s heart hurts at the thought of that. He hates it even now, not being able to do anything but watch. All he has is a barely comforting hand as he watches Ryuunosuke’s eyes screw shut even tighter.

It starts to die down soon enough and Ryuunosuke drinks a good amount of the water in some attempt to soothe his throat, Atsushi images. It didn’t sound like his normal cough, it sounded like it was made much worse by something like a cold.

“There’s cough medicine in the drawer. And that throat spray stuff, too,” Atsushi says, a hand still rubbing Ryuunosuke’s back.

Ryuunosuke slowly lowers the glass of water down into his lap. “And why do you have those things in there?”

“For you,” Atsushi says meekly. He feels like he’s in trouble, even though it’s something he only meant to be helpful.

Ryuunosuke’s eyes drop down to the glass of water, and he’s still for a few moments, lost in thought. Atsushi almost interjects to say something, but he’s pulled out of it soon enough.

“I had cough medicine an hour ago,” he says quietly, but he leans over to open the drawer for the spray, Atsushi thinks. Atsushi nods. He hasn’t been asleep all that long after all, then. Ryuunosuke parts his lips and sprays the medicine into his throat without so much as a flinch, and probably sprays a bit more than what’s recommended, but Atsushi figures he knows what works for him.

Atsushi has only had to use that sort of thing once or twice, and he flinches every time. The fact that Ryuunosuke is so used to it that he doesn’t even make a face after it settles in his mouth hurts Atsushi, for some reason.

He lays it on the nightstand and slowly sinks back into the bed, taking a spare pillow and tucking it between his arms as he lays on his side, Atsushi slowly doing the same to face him. Atsushi takes note of the fact that it’s a tiger-shaped throw pillow that was on the couch. He seems to favor that one.

They’re just quiet for a while, staring at each other. Ryuunosuke’s eyes show he hasn’t had an easy day. He’s exhausted. He can’t seem to open his eyes more than halfway, and the dark circles are worse than normal. He sort of wonders what Ryuunosuke sees in his own face, if he's even thinking about that. Maybe that’s just him.

"How was your day, Atsushi…?" he asks, apparently tired enough to use Atsushi’s name, for once. It sounds like he's fighting sleep. Atsushi really doesn't need him to be making small talk, especially after that painful coughing fit, but Ryuunosuke won't back down without an answer.

"It was good. I got a lot done at work. Started a new case with Kyoka," Atsushi tells him. Kyoka has started her own detective work recently, instead of just assisting - with Atsushi’s supervision, of course. "She's pretty good at this stuff."

"She is…that's good," he answers quietly, and almost seems to relax a bit.

"Have you been feeling bad all day, Ryuu?" Atsushi asks him with a heavy heart.

"On and off," he answers. That's a common answer from him, but the real 'on and off' he's seen him through hasn't looked any different than him feeling miserable all day, so Atsushi's never inclined to believe that white lie. He has a feeling he only words it that way so Atsushi won't worry as much. "I arrived here a few hours ago, and…Gin brought dinner. But she had to leave for work again…”

He sort of wonders if Gin knew Ryuunosuke would be here, or if she just suspected it. “It’s been a while since you saw her, right? She was in Kyoto.”

"She was…it was nice to see her,” Ryuunosuke nods meekly. “She left macaroons for you in the fridge.”

“For…me?” Atsushi says. Atsushi loved the one she let him try the last time he saw her. Maybe he made that a little too obvious. “That’s really nice. You’ve gotta tell her I said thank you.”

He’s briefly distracted by an out-of-place stand of Ryuunosuke’s hair. He reaches forward to pat it down, and notices a shudder of his shoulders before he takes his arm back and looks down to find Ryuunosuke's eyes shining with oncoming tears, and his brain goes into high alert.

"Hey, hey," Atsushi starts, pressing a hand to his forehead and the other to his cheek, clicking his tongue. He really should have checked for this sooner, but the tears are a dead giveaway that he has a fever. He always seems to lose control over his emotions when he’s running a temperature. "You're burning up, Ryuu, have you had a fever all day? What's wrong, huh?"

He turns his head to hide his face in the pillow and even brings up the tiger pillow to conceal it even more, but Atsushi decides he won't let him. He doesn’t take his hand away, he takes the tiger pillow, which is quickly taken back by a tendril of Ryuunosuke’s shirt that holds onto it so tight Atsushi has no chance.

"Hey, talk to me," Atsushi says his voice wavering just a bit. He sits up some. Even if fevers make him emotional like this, it’s not at all normal for him to cry unprompted.

He's stubborn as hell, but he folds easily when he's sick.

"I hate when she has to see me like this," he whispers, turning his head back just the slightest, revealing a pillow spotted with tears that have already fallen. "I hate that you have to put up with it."

"Stop that, I'm not putting up with anything. I care about you and I'll do whatever you need me to do because I want to," Atsushi tells him. He shuts it down quickly because he knows how Ryuunosuke holds onto his thoughts, he's just like Atsushi in that way. "I mean that."

Ryuunosuke doesn’t seem to take that to heart, though. Surely, he’s used to people saying things to him to get their way.

“Do you think I’d buy medicine for you if I thought you were some kind of burden?” Atsushi says, softening his voice just a bit. He scoots a little closer to that he’s right next to Ryuunosuke’s head, at the perfect spot to run a hand through his hair. It’s clean and soft. He imagines Gin urged him to shower.

Ryuunosuke is still quiet, but his shoulders don’t look so tense. Atsushi will take that over nothing.

“And…I don’t want you to think I don’t want to sleep in bed with you ‘cause I don’t want to put up with you,” he says gently. He’s not sure if that was part of why he feels this way, but he doesn’t want him to think that either way. “I just feel guilty when I’m the reason you can’t sleep. I don’t want you to feel worse ‘cause of me.”

“I can’t sleep without you,” Ryuunosuke says quietly, barely above a whisper. “I’ll take a night of dealing with you over no sleep at all.”

Atsushi’s heart sinks.

Does he really mean that? He can’t sleep without him?

“I won’t go anywhere, then,” Atsushi says with a little nod, solidifying it himself. He hates that he’s kept this to himself, and that it only came out now because of his tears. “Well...maybe for a second. I’m gonna get something for your fever, okay?”

Ryuunosuke gives a simple nod before Atsushi reluctantly climbs out of the warmth of the bed. Fever reducers never do much for Ryuunosuke, and Atsushi assumes he’s taken some as a part of the cough medicine, so the least he can do is a washcloth. Atsushi has tried the cooling patches for him before, but Ryuunosuke can’t stand them.

He comes back with a damp washcloth and Ryuunosuke is laying on his back, his head halfway sunk into the pillow. His eyes follow Atsushi as he climbs back into bed with him, and he hovers over him for a few seconds before he pressed a kiss to his forehead, and folds the washcloth before he lays it over that spot.

He loves him. He really does.

He’s never said it out loud, and neither has Ryuunosuke, but Atsushi knows how he feels. Maybe he’ll say it to him one day, but for now, actions are enough, he hopes.

He lays down beside him and cuddles as close as he can as Ryuunosuke’s eyes start to fall shut, evidently feeling a tiny bit better with a cooled forehead. Atsushi has a bad habit of watching him fall asleep, but it’s harmless, he thinks.

“I hope you feel better when you wake up, Ryuu,” Atsushi whispers after a while, but he’s certain Ryuunosuke has fallen asleep already. Now would be a great time to say he loves him out loud, he thinks, but he can't bring himself to do it, at least not yet. So he just opts for a light kiss on his warm, flushed cheek before he starts to fall asleep, too.

…

When Atsushi wakes up, Ryuunosuke’s fevered warmth is gone from the bed, leaving it much colder than Atsushi can handle.

Where is he? Where could he have gone?

He scrambles out of the bed and takes note that the run is just starting to rise, and Ryuunosuke tends to wake up incredibly early like this, but not when he’s feeling sick. He checks the bathroom and the couch but doesn’t find any sign of him, before he catches sight of Ryuunosuke’s head over one of the chairs on Atsushi’s porch.

It’s the middle of November. Ryuunosuke has no business sitting out in the cold when he’s so sick.

Atsushi slides the glass door open with no discernible reaction from Ryuunosuke. He just sits there with his legs crossed, staring forward into Yokohama’s landscape. Atsushi sees the breath from his nose fog once it his the cold air.

"Ryuu, it's way too cold out here, what're you doing?" Atsushi exclaims, running back inside to take one of the throw blankets from the couch. He's not sure he quite has the heart to pull him back inside, so once he’s back, he opts to lay the blanket over him instead.

"I just needed fresh air," Ryuunosuke murmurs, completely unmoving.

"We can open a window for that kind of stuff," Atsushi sighs, sitting on the table beside the chair Ryuunosuke has claimed as he starts to run a hand through his hair. Ryuunosuke turns his head away to silently tell him he doesn't want that right now, and Atsushi brings his hand back into his lap. "I'll give you some space out here if you want, Ryuu, but this weather's really not good for you."

Ryuunosuke doesn't say anything, which is a sign for Atsushi to stay. Ryuunosuke looks worse. His cheeks are blotchy pink and his eyes are red and glassy, only made worse by the cold air. Atsushi shivers.

"Do you love me?”

Atsushi’s heart stops.

That’s the last thing he was expecting to hear. He almost wants to pinch himself to make sure this isn’t a weird dream, but it’s not. He knows it’s not. Atsushi’s eyes are glued to Ryuunosuke’s profile, but Ryuunosuke’s eyes never once budge from the skyline.

“I do love you,” Atsushi says quietly. His hands shake as he brings them into fists. He wants Ryuunosuke to say he loves him back, but he’s so afraid of rejection even from someone who so clearly cares so deeply for him.

“Why?” Ryuunosuke barely manages. He’s holding back tears again. Atsushi hates that he feels like this. He had a feeling their conversation last night wasn’t the end of it, but it hurts him to think that he’s questioning this, and Atsushi has no idea how long he’s been out here.

“I wish I knew that,” Atsushi says, lowering his head. “I wish I had some poetic reason for you. I bet you would if you were me. But I just…love you.”

Ryuunosuke, surprisingly, seems to except that answer. Atsushi looks up, and the tears don’t fall. He almost looks content. He’s not sure what sort of answer he was expecting, what he wanted to hear.

“I love you too,” Ryuunosuke murmurs, turning his head, finally, for his eyes to meet with Atsushi’s. Atsushi hopes with every bone in his body that his eyes aren’t red from tears he’s already shed, but he chooses to push that thought out of his mind.

“You do?” Atsushi asks with a fond half-smile. “Can I ask you why?”

“I’m not sure either,” Ryuunosuke admits meekly. “I don’t have a poetic reason, it seems.”

Atsushi snorts a laugh. He wants to take his hand or kiss him or hold him or something, he wants to feel the warmth of his skin, but Ryuunosuke’s already made it clear he doesn’t want that right now, at least not on his own terms.

Ryuunosuke’s hand reaches out to Atsushi, and Atsushi wastes not a second to squeeze it.

They stay like that for a moment, and Atsushi forgets how cold it is as he studies Ryuunosuke’s gentle features in silence, until a shiver takes over his frame.

“We should go inside, Ryuu,” Atsushi whispers.

“I know,” Ryuunosuke says with a little nod.

“Can I carry you?” Atsushi asks.

“Yes,” Ryuunosuke answers, and Atsushi reluctantly slips his hand of out Ryuunosuke’s grip to scoop him up into his arms and bridal carry him back to their bedroom, only briefly summoning his tail to close the door on his way inside, to avoid any chilled air from filling his apartment.

He lays him back down on the bed, the same side he was on before, and he lays the comforter up to Ryuunosuke’s shoulders to get some warmth back from being out in that weather. He’s concerned about how red his cheeks are, and his eyes are foggy and unfocused, a clear sign his fever has gotten worse.

His eyes stay on Atsushi, though.

“I’m not sure how I didn’t see it before,” Ryuunosuke murmurs, his voice thick with sleep.

Atsushi tilts his head, unsure of what he means. He lays a hand over his forehead but realizes his own hand is unreliable for checking his temperature, chilled from the cold, but Ryuunosuke relaxes at the touch.

“That you love me,” Ryuunosuke manages as his eyes start to fall shut, despite his attempts to keep them open.

“You were never very good at picking up stuff like that,” Atsushi says with another fond smile, brushing a few strands of hair from his face. “But I’ll tell you whenever you want me to.”

“Hmm…” Ryuunosuke hums. “Now?”

“I love you,” Atsushi says. He almost wants to laugh. Ryuunosuke is kind of adorable, for a Port Mafia assassin. One that’s tried to kill him once or twice. “Then you’ve gotta tell me whenever I want, too.”

“Mhm…seems fair enough,” Ryuunosuke agrees, his body relaxing as sleep starts to take over. “I love you, Jinko.”

Atsushi’s tempted to mess with him over saying it despite Atsushi not asking in that moment, but he’s so close to sleep he’s not sure he’ll make it through a quarrel, so Atsushi just kisses his cheek, and crawls into bed beside him.

“Sleep well,” Atsushi says, sleep starting to take him in as well.

He’s going to ignore he has work in an hour.

[inamagicalhallucination]

guys do u remember my post that was like atsushi time travels back to a little while before he meets the ada??

okay so listen

its not too long before he meets the agency - but its still a long time if ur actively starving

atsushi isn't sure where to go or what to do, to be honest, it's hard to think with your stomach painfully begging for something, anything

atsushi isn't even sure if this is real

still, he drags himself up, considers just going to the agency, worries that if he meets them differently, something will change and he won't have his family

stumbles around and walks his way to the one of the few people outside of the agency that he knows he can trust

akutagawa ryuunosuke hears knocking on his door and is very surprised becuz who could it be ? the few ppl who know where he live would either never visit or call ahead

and gin, of course, has a key

still, making sure his coat is on and rashomon is just barely out, he opens the door

he doesn't know what he expects but a white messy haired, starving man in rags of clothes and dirt on his body standing there, tapping his foot, is not it

akutagawa stares, readies rashomon instictively

the boy smiles and akutagawa almost, almost flinches at the aboslute delight in his face at seeing him

"akutagawa" the boy says, akutagawa knows now that he cant simply kill him, he has to know how he found him, and who sent him, "thank god you still live here. i was a little worried." he reaches out and bats away the tendrils of rashomon with a gentle ease and pushes akutagawa slightly out of the way to enter akutagawa's apartment - akutagawa uncommon bafflement being the only real reason his starving body is able to

akutagawa should strike him now that his back is turned but the boy knows his name and his apartment and he needs to know how - it's good, he thinks, that the boy walked in on his own - it'll be easier to keep him until he explains

"who the hell are you?" akutagawa growls, putting on his meanest face, the boy barely spares him a glance

"your actually pretty adorable when your trying to be threatening - do you have rice? im really hungry."

rashomon shoots out wrapping herself around the boy's arms and legs, holding him up in the air, digging into his skin

the boy does not flinch.

he pouts

"ryuu, how could you be so mean?"

"do not call me that." akutagawa says, wondering if he should just kill him and find out about how he knows somewhere else "who are you"

the boy doesn't stop pouting but he finally answers "my name is nakajima atsushi. i got kicked out of my orphanage. im hungry. i want tea on rice." then he smiles and pulls out the ultimate weapon - something even akutagawa isn't prepared for against - "i'll make you fig pie "

akutagawa drops him

no it isn't just for the namedrop of one of his favorite dishes - it's simply becuz akutagawa can detect no lie or hint of malice or ill intentions from this atsushi

he keeps a tendril of rashomon on him just in case - he's not just letting him go of course - he still needs answers

atsushi pets rashomon and continues on to the kitchen, carefully washing his hands and moving around like he's been there a million times

"say, ryuu. i'll cook and clean if you let me stay here. just for a bit. until i get a job."

"no. i am letting you not starve perhaps - but do not think that i trust you or care for you."

"aww... im going to stay anyway."

"you will not"

"im not here to hurt you, promise. i really just didn't know where else to go."

"that does not explain how you know me."

"i guess not. ahh let me eat, i'll explain when i can think"

he never explains.

he does make the pie and he does fret over akutagawa eating dinner and he does laugh at akutagawa's threats and he does charm him easily and he does prove that he isn't associated with anyone just akutagawa and he is so so untrustworthy but akutagawa lets him stay

he tells himself its becuz he's keeping an eye on his strange man

atsushi, on his part, fully meant to explain everything to akutagawa as soon as he finished eating. he just forgot. he's so used to akutagawa already knowing everything about him, that it's esy for me to forget to explain, but still go on fully thinking that akutagawa already knows.

[samutoru]

jealous boyfriend!akutagawa who finds out that you're going on a mission with tachihara as a fake couple. he can't help but let his emotions control him (especially when it comes to you with another guy,"

he goes to gin about it and then goes to mori about it, asking him why he chose tachihara instead of him. "she's my girlfriend! y/n is my girlfriend, i don't understand why you chose that bastard tachihara to go with her instead of me! me, her actual boyfriend!" akutagawa yelled.

"akutagawa. you don't know how to control your emotion over y/n. as i predicted, and the way your acting right now, you will toss aside the mission and protect y/n. besides your going as backup so you will watch everything that they are going to be doing."

jealous boyfriend!akutagawa who sitting on your bed watching you get ready for your undercover fake date with tachihara. "i'm sorry ryu, i was going to tell you earlier but mori threatened me- It was something about trying to break you or something if i refused to go so i had no choice but to."

"whatever," Whatever was all akutagawa would say, but he was watching how the silk tight dress was kissing your body and was thinking about the only hands that were going to be all over you were tachihara's. you watched akutagawa get up through your mirror and he grabbed your jaw and attached his lips on your neck, trying to leave a hickey on your neck to show tachihara what's his.

jealous boyfriend! akutagawa who pins you up against the wall as you get back from the mission, you were definitely ready to tell akutagawa that your mission was successful but, he had other plans tonight. he uses rashomoun to take off your dress (most likely to cut your dress) and see what you had planned for him underneath.

— nsfw under the cut! minors pls dni :3 (warnings??: choking, slut shaming, jealousy/rage sex, pet names, bondage, p in v seggs, creampie)

"ry-ryuunosuke!" You stuttered, you were basically in your underwear at this point. You looked up to meet his eyes and there was nothing but more than darkness and lust in them.

"y/n,"

"ryu, why are you looking at me like that?" You asked innocently as you tried to keep your dress cut in half onto your body.

he was standing infront of you and he put his hands on your waist, gripping them before sliding them up and down against your body.

he threw you onto the hotel bed and was hovering over you with his knee pressing firmly, teasing you by putting pressure against your pussy. "f-fuck," you lowly moaned.

"i'll continue only if you want it," he said as he pressed hissed on your cheeks before continuing, he waited for your response and once you finally nodded in response, he continued what he was doing.

"you fucking whore," He groaned as he began to leave kisses and hickeys on your neck. "you were dressed up all pretty for tachihara you slut,"

he pulled out handcuffs from his pocket and cuffed both your arms together. "if you touch me it'll be only worse for not me, but for you," He huffed as he began to undress himself, tossing every piece of clothing to the side of the bed.

he positioned himself below you in between your thighs and slapped your panties that was already leaking of your juices. "i barely touched you and yet your already this wet for me?" He laughed before taking your panties off and began to eat you out.

"ngh~! f-fuck— ryu—" You moaned as you tried not to close your legs on him, he had his hands pressing your thighs down as you struggled to not close them on him.

he positioned his lengthy and thick cock at your enterance and slipped it in without letting you know not giving you enough time to adjust to his size.

"ngph~ ryuu~~!!"

he was now fucking you at a merciless pace. your cries, lewd slapping against skin, and his groans were filling up the sound of the room. your eyes were filled with tears and you couldn't feel nothing but the pleasure he was giving you.

"fuck! ryu!"

akutagawa was basically drilling the shape of his cock into your pussy and that was the only thing you could focus on right now. rashoumon was basically keeping your thighs open for akutagawa as his hands were focused on your throat and your waist.

"you just love making me crazy don't you? you fucking slut," He groaned, thursting in faster in you and his grip around your throat tightened as he felt your pussy throbbing and squeezing against him

"whose pussy is this? whose cum are you taking in tonight?" He loosened his grip on your throat so that you would be able to catch up on your breath and tightened it once again.

"huh? who's pussy is this?" He asked as he made you make eye contact with him, as he fastened his pace and his hand reaching down to play with your clit.

you weren't able to draw out the words out of your mouth. all you knew what to do was to moan out his name.

"fuck! it's yours ryu! yours!" You moaned.

"who's?"

"ngh~! yours!" You moaned again.

"please! please, ryuunosuke, i need your cum, please—" You begged, he licked your neck and fastened his pace.

"that's right you fucking slut, now beg for it." he was basically drilling, pushing, and fucking his cock into you. he was making you remember the shape of his tip and every single vein on his pretty pink cock.

your back arched as you came instantly and you felt akutagawa's seed filling you up. he continued to thrust into you slowly riding out both of your guys' high. he pulled out and uncuffed your hands, his body falling right beside yours.

"you know, you're hot when your jealous—" You paused as you turned to him and cupped his face.

"i might have to do it often." You giggled.

"do it again and you'll see what happens to you. i might not let you cum next time."

Goblin anon back to dump ADA Chuuya brain worms. This time of the fluffy kind :)

1) Soukoku Operation: Rubber Duck! When Dazai gets stuck on a case because his stupid smart brain ran itself into a wall, sometimes he'll drag Chuuya into a conference room and just talk at him until his brain figures it out. Chuuya got him a rubber duck with a mini hat to talk to when real Chuuya is busy. Dazai named him Chuuya Jr (sometimes actual Chuuya gets jealous).

2) Soukoku Operation: From the Top! Like the first one, sometimes Dazai’s brain just misses a detail, so he just takes his case to Chuuya and makes him read it out loud from the beginning until Dazai figures it out. When Chuuya is gone or busy, he usually targets Ryuu or Atsushi next.

3) As previously discussed, Chuuya’s love language is food. In the office kitchen's fridge, there are a bazillion bento boxes that he's made. Some are specifically for Kenji, others are just for members of the office who need lunch and don't want to go to the cafe.

4) Sometimes points 1 and 3 collide, and members of the office will finish their lunch break and come back to find Dazai spinning in his chair just talking, with Chuuya stopping every few seconds to shove food in his mouth. No one really talks about but Ranpo has pictures.

5) Chuuya (and Dazai, though he's more emotionally constipated about it) are very natural parental figures and tend to just attract stray children to them. Currently the ducklings are Ryuunosuke, Gin, Atsushi, Kyouka, and Q.

6) They also have the fattest, most spoiled cat named Mickey and a golden retriever named Lemon (they were found in a McDonald's container and a lemon crate respectively). Dazai, despite complaining about Chuuya's stray children magnet, was the one to bring both of them home.

7) Gin is technically a secretary since she doesn't have an ability, but she'll also tag along as the vigilante Masked Knife. This creates problems when both Higuchi and Lucy develop crushes on Masked Knife. Ryuunosuke thinks this is hilarious.

8) Shin Soukoku is a trio of Atsushi, Ryuunosuke and Gin. Soukoku worked so well because both Dazai and Chuuya were smart on their own and smarter together (once they stopped flirting- I mean bickering). Atsushi and Ryuunosuke share a single brain cell. Gin needs to be there to provide the common sense and strategy. (Also yes, Gin can do Dazai’s handcuff snapping trick)

9) To finish off with comedy: once on a call with Chuuya, Dazai accidentally calls him Daddy in front of the agency. He has never lived that down.

I hope you don’t mind but I am obsessed with the idea of Chuuya Jr and I ended up doing a very fast doodle akakdjskdjfjfjf

All of these are so good—The mental image of Chuuya feeding Dazai while Dazai is just talking away XD And Gin doing Dazai’s handcuff trick is so fun! :D

tachigin + pink

“You look nice,” Gin says softly as they cap the nail polish bottle. Their lips lift up into a smirk. “Pretty, even.”

Something sparks in the pit of Tachihara’s stomach. He stares down at his freshly painted nails, pastel pink because Gin doesn’t typically use such a color for themself. “You think so?”

Gin laughs. They lean in and peck his cheek. “I could do your makeup too, if you wanted. We’ve got plenty of time before Ryuu gets back.”

They say it like a joke, but Tachihara isn’t sure he wants it to be one. He’s never worn makeup before—never even gave a thought to whether or not it’s something he’d be interested in trying. But he does like the way his nails look and he liked the way Gin called him pretty and he sort of wants to agree just so maybe they’ll say it again.
