okay so here's my vision. kunikida watching aya and dazai separately struggle with having to use a mobility aid for chronic leg pain reasons and wanting to be able to help them, but while he also is struggling with his hands, he knows it's different. so he thinks. who could help aya and dazai better than someone else going through the exact same thing?
dazai is hesitant at first. or-- okay, hesitant is putting it lightly. he outright refuses. comes up with every excuse in the book and then a whole bunch of other ones that don't make a single lick of sense, because he's decided he hates aya by virtue of her being a child and him not trusting himself to interact with kids. especially ones who have imprinted on kunikida. because what happens when this turns out like q or akutagawa or elise or gin or rokuzou or or or...... no, he's not going to do that. he's going to keep his distance. and aya can tell he doesn't like her because she's not dumb, so she also refuses kunikida's idea of them talking to each other.
but kunikida already planted the idea in both of their minds. and though they're both incredibly stubborn, they also both trust kunikida deeply. so--
so dazai sees aya struggling with her cane, or aya sees dazai trying to avoid using his, or aya falls and dazai helps her up, or they run into each other on the stairs that neither of them are supposed to be using. one of them says "you need to be more careful" and the other says "bold words coming from you" and they realize they.. actually do have a lot more in common than they thought. and maybe kunikida was right about them being able to find some sort of comfort in one another.
#for any aya & dazai dynamic it's very important to me that they start off hating each other#dazai because he's masking insecurity and aya bc she can tell dazai doesn't like her and obviously that means she hates him back#but then eventually they get on speaking terms and dazai realizes she's not so bad and maybe he can interact with kids in small amounts#as long as he's not being Fully And Completely trusted with them.... he can buy aya an extra large milkshake with kunikida's money#he can tell her embarrassing stories about his coworkers#he can convince her to go steal something from ranpo's desk while theyre asleep#and maybe he's okay with it if she wants to put matching stickers on their canes too#hello grace here#bsd#dazai osamu#aya koda#bsd 116#<- tangiently
