Birthday Kiss (BSD Fanfic)

Bramran fluff cause we need some happiness <3

Enjoy~

There wasn’t a lot that Edogawa Ranpo didn’t know. After all, he was well known for knowing everything with just a single glance, so most assumed that he just knew everything about everything, which wasn’t the case—although it was close. He certainly was capable of finding out a lot by using his deductive skills, and he took great pride in the information he was able to gleam, along with the praise and worship that often came with it. But that wasn’t the point he was trying to make—for once.

No, what he meant to say was that he was struggling because of something he didn’t know.

That something being what to get Bram as a gift.

Aya had let slip that it was the vampire’s birthday soon—how she’d managed to find that out amazed him considering that his own attempts to do so had resulted in a change of subject almost instantly—and so Ranpo felt that he had to get Bram something to honour it. It was his first birthday with the return of his body, his first birthday in Japan—

His first birthday with his second family.

Ranpo wasn’t so much of a fool to not realise that the reason why Bram never said anything about himself was because every time it did, it reminded him of the family that’d been taken from him, that he’d never get to celebrate with. In time, Ranpo was sure that Bram would open up, but for now, he respected the vampire’s decision to keep to himself. It did annoy him, however, that Bram had told Aya and not him about his birthday since they were, after all, the ones that were dating.

Yosano thought him stupid to be jealous over a middle-schooler but sue him, he was.

He liked having Bram’s attention on him.

“You know, your staring is rather off putting.” Ranpo glanced up to see Aya standing in front of his desk, arms crossed and foot tapping in annoyance.

He huffed and pointedly turned his head away, grumbling. “I wasn’t staring.”

“You so were.” Aya narrowed her eyes, shifting to lean against his desk and peer around to see his face. “Did you deduce something about Bra-chan?”

“No.”

“But you were thinking ‘bout him.”

Ranpo turned his head back. “Hah? Why would I be thinking about him when I’m working?”

Aya raised an eyebrow at him.

“Okay, fine, I was. What’s it to you anyway?”

“Because I care about him like you do, so if you deduced something I need to know what you deduced!”

For a moment, Ranpo remained silent, studying the young girl in front of him who was far too serious for her age. He knew about her role in the airport, how it was because of her that they’d managed to rescue Bram from Fukuchi’s—and thus, Fyodor’s—clutches, and he knew about her homelife that was the reason that she spent so much time hanging around the Agency in the first place, but he didn’t know much more than that. Kunikida did, and so did Bram, as they were the two that Aya chose to hang around the most. Ranpo was a recent addition on account of his relationship with Bram, the girl reluctant to talk to him, but politely doing so because Bra-chan loves you, and if he does, I need to be nice to you!

A strange sentiment to have, but he wasn’t going to argue about it.

But… with Aya here, maybe he could finally figure out what to get Bram as a gift.

“What are you getting Bram-kun for his birthday?” Ranpo asked.

Aya tilted her head. “I wasn’t going to get him anything.”

Ranpo frowned. “Why not? You care about him don’t you?”

“I do.” Aya nodded. “Which is why I’m not getting him anything. He’s been under so much stress because of everything that happened, so I just wanna do something quiet with him. I’m taking him to a park and having a picnic with him.”

Something so simple, yet meaningful to one who cared about sentimentality.

“I see…” Ranpo said slowly, a thought coming together in his mind of what he could do instead of getting a gift for Bram.

Small hands reached up to cup his cheeks and Ranpo blinked as Aya stared into his face, squeezing his cheeks with a look of determination on her face. “Just be you, Ranpo-san, Bram likes that about you.”

Aya pulled her hands away and turned on her heel, calling over her shoulder as she walked off. “And stop staring so hard, you’re making him think he’s upset you!”

Ranpo felt his cheeks begin to burn as eyes turned towards him at the girl’s outburst, reaching a hand up to drag his hat down to hide his face from them. Cheeky brat, bringing the attention to him like that. He could hear his colleagues snickering on the other side of the room, could feel Dazai’s smirk through his hat.

Idiots, the lot of them.

“Have I done something wrong?” Ranpo blinked as Bram asked the question, a look of discomfort on his face as he stood in front of Ranpo holding two plates in hand; their dinner.

Ranpo reached up to take a plate. “No, what makes you think that?”

“You have been glaring at me all day. What else was I to assume?” Bram sat down beside him on the couch, his nails tracing the intricate designs on the plates—a gift from Fukuzawa when Ranpo had first moved out on his own.

“I didn’t mean to glare.” Ranpo sighed, shuffling over so he can rest his head on Bram’s shoulder. “I was just lost in thought today… about your birthday.”

Bram stiffened underneath him. “Aya told you.”

The vampire sounded resigned, unhappy even, and Ranpo tilted his head up towards him, frowning. “She did. Why do you sound so unhappy about that?”

“I simply do not wish to celebrate something that means nothing to me anymore.” Bram sighed, turning his attention to the food in his lap and began to eat. “I understand that you all might wish to do something, but I cannot bring myself to feel joy about it.”

Ranpo hummed and began to eat his own dinner. “What if it doesn’t involve gifts?”

Bram glanced towards him.

“We could just spend time together. I know you like quiet days, so we could do something like that.” Ranpo suggested, struggling to come up with what exactly they could do.

“And if that something was that I desired to stay in bed all day, would you honour such a request?” Bram asked, fixing Ranpo with a look that told him the vampire didn’t believe he could do such a thing.

A fair assumption considering that Ranpo was well known for being unable to sit still, even when working.

But for Bram he’d try.

“We can stay in bed.” Ranpo said. “It’s your birthday so if you wanna stay in bed, we can do that.”

After a moment, Bram nodded. “Alright then.” He paused a moment. “It is my birthday today, just so you know.”

Ranpo blinked. “Eh? You told Aya—”

“I told Aya to tell you a false day.” Bram said, eating his dinner as if it was just a small thing to spread a false truth, and honestly, Ranpo was impressed that the vampire had gone to great lengths to hide the day from him. “I did not want the Agency to throw a party like I have heard they do. If no one knew what day it was, then no party.”

“Some would call you a killjoy for that.”

“They can do what they want.” Bram said with a frown. “Are you done?”

Ranpo offered his plate up. “I don’t think you’re a killjoy. Although I wish you’d told me.”

“Are you mad?”

“No.” He was quick to say. “I’d have done the same. How can I be mad?”

And finally, the discomfort that’d been on Bram’s face the entire conversation eased off, replaced with a soft smile as he left the room to put their empty plates in the sink.

Once Bram was gone, Ranpo continued to sit on the couch, stunned that something as simple as a birthday had been kept hidden from him. It didn’t bother him in the slightest that Bram didn’t want to celebrate it—it’d only bothered him that Bram had kept it secret from him—but there was nothing to be done about it now… or was there.

Ranpo stood and moved towards the kitchen. “Come to bed when you’re done, okay?”

He waited for Bram’s affirmative before he dashed to their shared room, stopping by the hallway closet to empty it of blankets; not an easy feat considering that Ranpo had a tendency to hoard blankets. From there, he set about dumping them around the futon, arranging them carefully to his liking.

He was so focused that he didn’t hear Bram approach him.

“What are you doing?”

Ranpo spun around with a grin on his face. “You wanted to stay in bed all day, and while it won’t be your birthday tomorrow, we can still stay in bed. But for optimal comfort, you need a nest of blankets!”

“One day, Fukuzawa-san is going to get mad at me for you skipping work all the time.” Bram said, even as he approached the… nest, crawling into it with curiosity.

“Fukuzawa-san knows better than to get mad at you, otherwise I’ll get mad at him.” Ranpo huffed and then joined Bram on the futon. “Ta-da!”

“It is very nice.” Bram said, stretching out on the blankets.

“That’s not all! You still need your gift.”

Bram raised an eyebrow. “My gift?”

Ranpo grinned and then reached over to drag Bram against his chest, thankful when the vampire followed easily and didn’t fight him. He leaned down to give Bram a kiss. “Your gift!”

“Your gift is… a kiss?”

“Yep!” Ranpo’s grin didn’t waver even as his heart began to pound in uncertainty.

Bram huffed a laugh, a smile of his own as he wound his arms around Ranpo’s waist. “It is a wonderful gift, thank you, Ranpo.”

[starglow-xx]

(About the brother!atsushi) aRE YOU READING MY MIND MISS?! Because that has been on my mind for MONTHS. TYSM For writing it was amazing!! If you don't mind, may I request (if requests are open) atsushi, still an older brother, but with a sister that's 10-13 yrs old? It's totally fine if you don't wanna do it. Keep up the good stories, ily mwuah!

*sobs* you’re so kind thank youu 🤧🤧

i wrote this a bit differently i hope that’s okay anon! at first i planned for this to be mainly abt atsushi and the reader, but i decided to add in relationship hcs with the agency bc i ran out of ideas

if you guys liked this don’t worry! im planning a special part two for this one so be the look out for it hehe

atsushi with a tween! sister

ft. the armed detective agency

like in my baby sister hcs, you’re still the most important thing to him period

the two of you got picked up by dazai and kunikida when he was 18 (obviously) and when you were 12

for a 12 year old, you were a bit small bc of malnourishment (which makes atsushi feel so bad) so both dazai and kunikida thought you were a bit younger than you actually were

they assumed you were about 9-10ish

you and atsushi both share a favorite food !! chazuke :)

so when kunikida treated the two of you, he made sure you got more bowls bc like i mentioned above, he feels really bad that you were malnourished and under weight

(don’t bring this up but kunikida felt bad too hehe)

when dazai went with your brother to the warehouse, you were with kunikida

imagine the surprise of the other ada members when kunikida came in with a little girl dressed in rags that popped out from behind him

kenji was the one who vocalized his thoughts 

“kunikida-san you have a daughter?! wow! i didn’t know that! :D”

when you found out your brother was a tiger, you were a bit concerned but you were actually kind of excited

you were even more excited when you found out the two of you were going to be taken in by the agency

anything was better than the stupid orphanage

and besides!

you got a tiger for an older brother and a bunch of other super powered agents to take care of you! who could want anything else?

at your age, you’re very impressionable and can be influenced easily so atsushi makes sure to teach you more in depth of good morals and the importance of kindness

his heart swells with pride and relief when he catches you being kind to others

pride bc he’s proud that even after all the two of you have gone through, you still ended up being a good kid and having a bright view of the world

and relief bc he hasn’t failed as a big brother

pfftt like he could ever fail

but please, from time to time reassure him that he’s perfect and the only big brother that you’d ever want bc he rlly needs that kind of validation

with his salary and savings, he tries to buy nice things for you

what a sweetheart 🥺

he saw you eyeing that one dress at a store window? fast forward abt a week and half and it’s inside a pretty gift bag for you

you wanted to try that dessert from the nice bakery? that’s dessert after dinner at one point

but other than buying you things, he sets money aside for you

like all the time

(y/n), here have this, you might need it”

“but nii-san you just gave me—”

“take it”

#1 spoiler

also your #1 confidant and source of physical affection

you tell him anything and everything (except crushies and those kinds of things)

atsushi loves it when you talk abt your day and he can see the big smile on your face and the sparkle in your eyes

it gives him the strength to keep going 😖😖

the two of you aren’t as touch starved as you’d probably think, but that’s only bc the two of you had each other

in your opinion, no one can match the hugs of your big brother

and it got even better bc YAYY he has tiger arms now ٩(◕‿◕)۶

if you ask, he’d carry you around too hehe

you also get nightmares quite often so he’ll always be there ready to calm you down, talk if you need to, and rock you back to sleep

god i love him 🤧🤧

atsushi will do everything in his power to protect you and make sure you get to grow up happy, supported, and loved

port mafia attack? oop he’s already taking you to the nearest escape route

someone is starting to harass you? they just got suckered punched into the next week

you want to go out to have some fun? he’ll go ask the president for a day off

you’re not feeling well? he’ll take another day off and take care of you

whatever you want to do, he’ll do it with you! (as long as it’s within reason)

will always be your #1 supporter! and he’s the president of your fan club hehe

he loves you so so much and will do anything for you; your life and happiness will always be more important to him

you are his reason to keep going

agency head canons !!

atsushi is your big brother, but kunikida is most definitely some sort of father figure

everyone can see it

except kunikida of course

kunikida scolds you lightly if he thinks your manners need work or if you make a mess in the agency

you listen to him of course and in turn as some sort of a reward, he’ll give you pieces of stationary

he always gives you the nice, good quality kind and you’re over the moon

atsushi adores it when you come running to him showing your new notebook or fountain pen and blabbering what you’re going to do with it

sometimes it isn’t even as a reward for being a good child; he’ll just give it to you and he’ll say smth like “i noticed you’ve used up your last notebook quite quickly, so here’s another one” or “did you run out of ink? here have this then”

he usually has a soft spot for children in general, but he most definitely has a soft spot (or a thousand) for you

yosano is kind of like a motherly figure to you

she gives you the guidance a mother should and goes on shopping trips with you!

atsushi always gets dragged along by you, but he thinks it’s worth it seeing you look so happy

yosano being a doctor also tries to teach the things you should know, or things that would be helpful to you

she’ll teach you the basics of cooking, sewing, how to treat a cold/fever, etc

also gives you excellent advice 1000% of the time

“remember (y/n)-chan if someone hurts you come tell me and then i’ll chop them into—”

“yOSANO-SENSEI DONT TELL HER THAT—”

fukuzawa is like a father to most in the agency but you see him more as a grandfather figure

bi weekly tea and gossip sessions hehe

along with cat talk!

most of the time though, it’s just you talking and him listening to you, but the two of you enjoy it nonetheless

“and then kunikida-san ended up crashing into a pole and dazai-san started to laugh at him and i did too because it was really funny but we ended up getting scolded—”

“hmm i see...”

he’ll let you stay in his office as he fills out paperwork; you’re usually doodling or drawing in your notebooks

sometimes he’ll meditate and you’ll join him, but 4/7 times you’d fall asleep

you always wake up with a blanket over you

dazai is like a cool but a highly concerning and kind of high maintenance uncle

frequently takes you out with him when he ditches work

walks in the park, eating at uzumaki so he has the excuse of treating you so he doesn’t have to pay his tab avoiding kunikida and sometimes chuuya and akutagawa, all that fun stuff

also tries to not talk abt suicide in front of you especially if it’s just the two of you alone

he knows that you mean the world to his pupil and that said pupil would probably hate him for putting suicide inside your brain

he teaches you random but useful things like how to pick a lock, how to steal kunikida’s notebook if you’re looking for some information, how to sweet talk your way out of things, etc.

is also the one to tell you that if you ever get a significant other to introduce them to the agency first

he always wants all of your gossip; some of them work pretty well for blackmail

“dazai-san! dazai-san! did you know that kunikida-san lost his glasses and he was looking for them for nearly an hour when he was just holding them the entire time??”

“woah really (y/n)-chan?! hey hey can you say it again into this recording device so kunikida-kun would believe me when i tell him—”

always ends up giving kunikida a heart attack when he says that you’ve been with him all day

ranpo is also like a cool but a highly concerning and kind of high maintenance uncle

will share some of his snacks, but don’t push it or you might not get anything at all

loves it when you compliment him

if you tagged along with him and your brother on a case, he will show off to impress you

“...and that’s how the crime happened”

“UWAHH RANPO-SAN YOU’RE SO COOL”

atsushi is lowkey and kunikida is highkey stressed that ranpo’s eating habits will rub off on you

“ne (y/n)-chan do you wanna try this highly caffeinated drink and this concerning amount of sugar filled snack?”

“can i really?!”

“rANPO-SAN NO—”

ranpo definitely does stuff like that on purpose 

the tanizakis are like siblings to you!

a weird set of siblings but siblings nonetheless

the two of them adore you and think you’re precious

atsushi definitely knows how to do your hair whether it’s long or short but he got even better at it when he asked the two

hehe braid trains are definitely a thing + kyouka and kenji (and maybe even dazai)

sometimes you have sibling swap days

you’re with junichiro for most of the day and atsushi is with naomi

strange i know

each of the tanizaki siblings try to make it fun bc they know that the two of you did not at all have a happy upbringing

junichiro likes spending time with you by taking you out to different places that naomi likes to frequent

like the mall, different stores and restaurants, the park, places like those

naomi does the same thing with atsushi so if you ever bump into them, you go out and eat together :)

besides atsushi, the next one in line who spoils you the most would be junichiro (and yosano & kunikida both coming in at a close third)

he honestly can’t help it; you remind him of how naomi was when she was younger

and besides

he’s always been a sucker when it came to the happiness of a little sister

“would you really buy this for me junichiro-san?!”

“of course! don’t worry about it” :)

wanna talk abt boys/girls/celebrity crushes things like that? naomi is your girl

you feel a bit embarrassed to go talking to yosano or your brother abt that and kyouka does not know a thing abt them either

“uwahh naomi-san look at all these people in this magazine! they look so good!”

“right?! but of course onii-sama is still the best—”

you get along with kenji and kyouka quite nicely being roughly the same age as them; they’re also like siblings!

just pure, wholesome vibes from the three of you

you’re over the moon when she finds out that kyouka is staying with you and your brother

atsushi is twice as happy seeing you talk your mouth off and finally having a girl around your age to talk to

“do you think demon snow can change how she looks?”

“hmm... im not sure...”

you and kenji talk abt anything and everything

he even teaches you how to take care of plants!

sometimes the two of you are kind of in the same boat bc you don’t know much abt yokohoma being stuck in the orphanage and kenji doesn’t know much abt cities in general

“wait where are we again kenji-san?”

“ah we’re close to the ports! but im not really sure how close because i don’t know what the symbols on this sign mean”

“don’t worry! neither do i!”

bonus things!

yosano was kind of too late teaching you abt you know what

“NII-SAN IM BLEEDING IN BETWEEN MY LEGS”

you’re sobbing in the agency’s bathroom and atsushi is panicking trying to get you to open the door

“Y/N?! H-HOLD ON LET ME GET YOSANO SENSEI”

ranpo overhears and cackles making everyone around him confused

suddenly atsushi bursts in the agency basically on the verge of tears rambling incoherent sentences abt the bathroom, you, and blood

it just clicked for everybody in the room

(im going to pretend that kenji has sisters back home so that atsushi is the only one who remain oblivious here hehe)

atsushi is genuinely confused and sort of concerned that no one is freaking out with him

yosano waves her hand saying smth like that she’d take care of it and junichiro pulls atsushi to the side to talk to him

fast forward like half and hour and dazai and ranpo are cackling on the looks of both of your faces

honestly not sure who’s more traumatized, you or your brother

“why does this have to happen” :(

“ne ne (y/n)-chan!~ you’re too young but at some point you’re not going to have it!”

“uwahh really dazai-san?” :D

“yeah! but first you have to have ANFK—”

next thing you know your ears are being covered by your brother and dazai is thrown across the room by kunikida

you know

the normal

you’re twelve and have never gone to school, but the agency takes care of that

it’s too dangerous to go to school so they teach you what’s necessary and whatever else they can

kunikida takes care of math (obviously)

yosano takes care of science/biology/anatomy/health (whatever you wanna call it)

ranpo even dragged poe to help you with english

atsushi even got lucy to help you out with english too!

as tanizaki and naomi used to be students, they give you their old work books and they try to teach you all the other subjects

sometimes kyouka and kenji are there learing with you too!

sorry if there’s some errors! i’ll read through it again later :)

and as always, reblogs and shares are appreciated! i hope you all stay safe! and just in case nobody told you they loved you today, i love you! you are enough! <3

writing belongs to me! please do not plagiarize! the reblog button is there for a reason

Operation: Dairy For Dazai

>>>a dazai osamu x reader<<<

request: "omg i love your post about Dazai and his possibility of having lactose intolerance hahaha, i wish you could do a fanfic out from that"

a/n: um this is such a great idea??? this was so much fun to write omg i hope y'all like it! also i know dazai doesn't necessarily drink coffee with milk and sugar/creamer, but for the sake of the story he does! also sorry if the gif looks weird, i couldn't find his weird little run anywhere else.

synopsis: no one has seen dazai drink milk or consume dairy of any kind...it's up to the agency to figure out if dazai is lactose intoleralnt or not!

warnings: one swear word, dazai not being able to handle dairy

"hey atsushi, you ever notice that dazai doesn't consume dairy?"

"what do you mean, y/n?" atsushi asks, glancing up at you from the computer.

"think about it. have you ever seen dazai drink milk? eat cheese? buy ice cream?" you press on, raising your brows.

atsushi takes a second to think before responding with, "now that you mention it, no i haven't...why are you asking anyway?"

"i think dazai is lactose intolerant."

you now have atsushi's full attention as he rolls closer to your desk and furrows his brows. he looks around the room for the brunette you're talking about before turning back to you, "you think so? i don't know...maybe it's like a dietary thing."

you deadpan, "you really think the man who goes out of his way to try new attempts at committing suicide--the one who came into the office with a hallucinogenic mushroom from a random mountain--is concerned with his own nutrition?"

atsushi goes silent and nods his head in agreement.

"come on, atsushi. i mean, why would that be the one thing out of his entire diet that he'd choose to cut out?"

"that's true, i've seen the kinds of things he eats...but why is this something you're interested in?"

"because, atsushi, the thought of THE dazai osamu even having one slight weakness--and the fact that it very well may be dairy, of all things-- is amusing. you don't find it interesting? that he can survive things like bullet wounds and getting kidnapped without any problem, but a glass of milk could completely ruin him?"

atsushi was beginning to take interest in what you were talking about. you had a point, he couldn't deny that. they don't know much about dazai and his life as it is. just as it began clicking in his brain, kunikida walks over to your desk to tell you both to get back to work. at the sound of his footsteps, you turn towards him and before he can say anything at all, you ask him the same question as atsushi. kunikida has a smiliar reaction and response to atsushi, which just adds to the curiosity of dazai's possible dairy problem.

"i don't pay attention to that idiot's diet anyway, nor do i care." he says matter-of-factly.

anyone could tell that kunikida was slightly interested, just by the way he was continuing to linger by your desk as you continued talking about it with atsushi. soon enough, tanizaki had joined the conversation; then ranpo and kenji, and soon everyone in the agency other than fukuzawa. everyone was huddled around your desk, sharing memories of dazai's lack of dairy consumption. it was then decided that this theory of dazai being lactose intolerant would be put to the test when dazai returned to the office.

ranpo had come up with the idea, it wasn't too elaborate but a simple plan that could trick even the likes of dazai into drinking a glass of milk. during the discussion of dazai's dietary habits, it was also brought to everyone's attention by kunikida that it seems dazai doesn't have a high spice tolerance either. with that in mind, the plan was for the agency to have a joint dinner tonight, with curry on the menu tonight; spicy curry to be exact. dazai always flirts with you in the office, so it was your job to distract him by indulging in his pick-up lines and such. once he takes a bite and realizes it's too spicy for him, he'd try to find water to alleviate the pain, but coincidentally there is no water in sight. because of this, he'd be forced to drink the glass of milk you hand him. of course, if this didn't work, for dessert you'd give him a cup of coffee with milk and sugar (he uses non-dairy creamer in his coffee anyway).

you and kyouka set up a table to put the bowls of curry on, while atsushi and kunikida began bringing in the curry. tanizaki, naomi, and ranpo were in charge of getting the desserts to really sell the image of a nice gathering. kenji and yosano were in charge of tinkering with the water pipes to close off any possibility of access to water. this task was treated with such care, as any mission brought into the agency would be. each and every one of you were interested in learning about this side of dazai; are you going the extra mile for such a minuscule detail of someone's life? yes, but will it be amusing to find out the truth? also yes.

soon enough, dazai is spotted out the window. the truth is about to be revealed, and you are all nervous but excited.

"remember guys, act natural! operation: dairy for dazai starts now!" you exclaim quietly.

you can hear everyone take a deep breath and begin "talking" amongst themselves as dazai walks in. he stops in his tracks as he eyes the table holding all the bowls of curry and widens his eyes in surprise.

"oh? what's this?" he asks, gesturing to the table.

"y/n suggested having dinner in the agency tonight, so we got some curry and desserts." atsushi explains.

"have a bowl, dazai-kun." you smile at him as you hand him the bowl of spicy curry.

"ah, you're too nice, my belladonna!" he exclaims and grabs the bowl.

so far so good, you think.

you can feel the tension in the room as everyone waits for dazai to take a bite. the conversations carry on amongst people, but no one was truly paying attention to what was being said. the gazes of each member of the agency shifted to dazai as he raised the spoon up to his mouth. you could hear the sound of everyone in the room holding their breaths, even kunikida was sweating.

once the spoon had been placed in his mouth, everyone froze in place. you and atsushi tried to pretend to not be paying much attention to dazai, but it was so hard not to when all of a sudden he stopped chewing. you both slowly turn your head towards him and see his eyes go wide once again. he hurries to the nearest trashcan and spits out the spoonful, quickly turning and looking for a cup of water on the table.

"w-what's wrong, dazai-san?" atsushi asks, also sweating.

"h-hot! spicy curry! atsushi-kun, i need water! please!" dazai exclaims.

you run to the table and pretend to look for a cup of water before grabbing the glass of milk and hurrying towards dazai.

"sorry dazai-kun, i couldn't find any water, but i heard milk helps with the pain!" you hold out the glass of milk.

it feels like time stops as dazai sits there, breathing shallows breaths in attempts to stop the fire in his mouth, and contemplating whether he wants to try his luck with continuing to gasp for air or drinking the milk. he hates suffering, after all. in his mind, all that matters at this moment is extinguishing the flames dancing on his tongue. he grabs the glass, just as planned, and drinks a couple big gulps. everyone is now turned to him, asking if he's okay.

"i'm...fine." he says between pants.

now it was only a matter of time. the dinner continued as normal, but dazai wasn't as social as usual. he sat down with you and atsushi as you continued to talk about different missions.

"oh yeah, dazai-kun, do you remember--" you turn to look at him but realize he's staring at the ground intently as sweat beads on his face, "dazai?"

he blinks once and tries regaining his composure as he looks up at you with his usual smile, "yes, belladonna?"

"are you feeling alright?" you ask with concern laced in your voice.

"of course i am!" dazai tries to reply cheerily, but his bright tone is cut off by a rumbling in his stomach that makes his face twist.

he tries replacing his expression with a smile again, but it looks more pained as another low rumble emits from his body. at this point, everyone in the office is stealing glances. he looks back at the ground as his eyes widen yet again, and only two words are uttered before he takes off running to the bathroom:

"oh shit."

everyone stares at the door, processing what just happened. it was so silent, the only sound you could hear was dazai's rapid footsteps echoing down the hall.

"i knew it." you smirk a bit to yourself.

but your feeling of victory is brief as the horrid smell invades your nostrils. your poor co-workers get assaulted by the same stench, and you all are forced to evacuate.

operation: dairy for dazai was a success, but at what cost?

------------------------------------------

BONUS: how chuuya found out about dazai's lactose intolerance

chuuya was the only person who knew of dazai's problem with dairy, but the way he found out was purely accidental and scarred him.

the event took place when they were 17, and they were both stopping for a drink at a local cafe after a mission. the mission wasn't too bad, but it was early in the morning and chuuya wanted coffee. dazai told him it would stunt his already lacking growth, so chuuya wasn't in the greatest mood; he never was around dazai.

"i wanna sit down so you can order for me!" dazai claps his hands together.

"hey! i don't wan-" chuuya begins to protest but dazai cuts him off while walking away.

"you know what i like!"

chuuya grumbles in annoyance as he heads to the counter and orders two drinks. in his fit of anger, he accidentally ordered two coffees with milk and sugar, but failed to notice as he brought the cups to the table dazai sat at. he narrows his eyes as he sets the cup down in front of dazai and sits across from him. chuuya stares out the window to try and tune out dazai when he hears dazai ask him something quietly.

"is there...milk in this?"

chuuya scoffs and replies, "what's wrong, can't handle a bit of milk?"

he was obviously joking, but the sound that emits from dazai's body in response makes him realize it was no joke. dazai quickly stands and runs to the bathroom while chuuya sits there in disbelief, but with the hope that the rest of the day won't be ruined because of it.

that was wishful thinking though, as they frequently had to stop at public restrooms on their way home and chuuya had to deal with the rancid odor that followed dazai as closely as his own shadow.

[dinosaurtsukki]

dating the armed detective agency’s medic

a/n: of course i have to write one for the ADA even though i’m a biased port mafia bitch. there’s a bit more characters here so i’ll try to keep each one short but still very fluffy and sweet <3

this man is always getting himself injured and even though agency has yosano, fukuzawa thought it would be a good idea to hire another medic who could deal with less life-threatening injuries

ofc dazai flirts with you the first chance he gets and every time he comes into your clinic

dazai: good morning my dear belladonna! the weather is beautiful today, but not as beautiful as you of course

you: YOUR ARM IS BROKEN PLEASE SIT DOWN

although as much as he likes to slightly mess with you, dazai genuinely enjoys coming to the clinic and being treated by someone like you

he likes observing your hands and how careful they are when they bandage his arm or that cute little scrunch of your brows when you’re bandaging his forehead

while on a mission, atsushi and kunikida go the extra length to protect dazai because they know you’re worried about him 

and then one day dazai comes into your clinic again and instantly you think that something has happened

until he surprises you by bringing out a bouquet of flowers

‘if i get injured less on missions, would you let me take you out on a date?’

jokes on you though after you guys date dazai finds every excuse to visit you in the clinic

he’ll get papercuts on purpose just so he can get you to put a bandage on them 

kunikida is annoyed because dazai they’re just papercuts jfc also please go back to work

seeing that you’re always concerned about his health and well-being, dazai finds himself making much less attempts cause he knows the stress it puts on you when you have to bandage him up after and make sure he’s alright

thanks to you our man is able to take care of himself a bit more

even though he is your boyfriend he’s still going to mess with you in any way he can

he’ll barge into your office claiming that his chest hurts because you didn’t give him a kiss that morning

also will highkey hug you from behind even if you’re treating another patient

the first time he meets you is for a physical exam check-up because it was required at the agency and he feels embarrassed at first seeing that the agency’s medic was gorgeous

atsushi was fresh out of the orphanage so of course he was quite malnourished and still had some injuries from his abuse

you had no idea who’d dare hurt such a sweet boy so you do your best to treat him and instructed atsushi to come in for some follow-up check-ups

although when he comes in for that check-up he talks about how he’s been healthy because he eats a lot of chazuke and you’re like ‘oh no, no, no, please eat other things too’

you end up packing him a bento box because he’s your patient so ofc you have to keep him healthy 

the two of you run into each other a lot in the morning because atsushi tends to come in way earlier than he’s supposed to so you often find him sitting in front of the locked door

thus begins your early morning chats. atsushi’s always polite and never interrupts when you talk and you love how he shows so much interest in whatever you say

atsushi began to realize that he has feelings for you but boy is he bad at concealing them also ranpo kind of busted him in front of everyone in the agency including you

but atsushi was saved by you hinting that you wouldn’t mind going on a date with him at all and he’s ecstatic until he realizes he hasn’t been on a date before

he takes you out to a nice restaurant and insists on paying for everything

nothing much changes with your routine but atsushi likes to bring you breakfast in the morning and the two of you have little dates before going into the office

he knows how worried you get when he goes out on especially dangerous missions but he does everything he can to protect the city and the new home he found with the agency and you

this guy was one of the people, other than yosano and fukuzawa, who interviewed you for the job and you can’t forget how intense he was when it came to asking questions

of course, you answered all of them well but kunikida was very serious that you knew how dangerous it could be to be involved with the agency

there was a self-defense portion in the interview that you knew about and of course kunikida was the one who added that

to his pleasant surprise, you managed to dodge all his incoming attacks (kunikida lowkey found it hot, like that’s requirement number ten on his list checked right there)

kunikida does get injured a fair amount during missions and he doesn’t want to get dissected by yosano all the time so he goes to your clinic that’s right near the office

he likes how efficiently you work and how gentle your hands are that even when you’re stitching up his wound he almost can’t feel a thing

however, kunikida does have a bad habit of not resting for the appropriate number of days. like, even with a bullet wound he’ll still hobble over to his desk to finish his paperwork

once, he came down with a terrible case of the flu so of course you sent him home only for kunikida to sneak back into the office when he thought no one was looking

you ended up taking kunikida home but poor guy could barely do anything by himself so you took care of him too

kunikida is definitely the delirious babbling when he’s sick so he ends up talking about his list of traits for an ideal woman and how you filled out a good portion of it

when he wakes up (much more sane) he sees you reading that list on his notebook and he’s like WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING

he handed you the notebook personally before passing out and kunikida can’t live it down

you: well, even if i don’t match all these requirements, would you still be interested in going out?

kunikida: yes... please

everyone can tell that kunikida’s about to go on a date because of how nervous he is the entire day

he knows how tight your schedule can be and how busy he is with with work but he always makes time to have his lunchbreak with you

loves to hear about your day and even has some space in his notebook dedicated to any interesting stories you have

the first time you met him was when he also had his physical check-up which ranpo insisted he didn’t need but fukuzawa made him so he had no choice but to follow

the entire time ranpo’s just like ‘nothing’s wrong with me, see?’ and then you do a simple dental check-up and find that he has like two cavities he didn’t want to tell anyone about it because he’s scared of the dentist *cue ranpo trying to run away and you grabbing him by the poncho*

of course fukuzawa makes him go to the dentist too but ranpo insists that you have to be the one to take him and schedule the appointment and come along

truth be told, you’ve always been pretty attracted to ranpo because you know of his skill as a detective so you were excited to have this day with him

only for you to have to physically restrain ranpo to the dentist’s chair (you even had to call kenji to help) while his teeth was getting checked

ranpo was squeezing your hand the entire time and he was fairly grumpy after the whole ordeal that he wouldn’t even talk to you until he asked if you could get ice cream

you: the dentist just told you to eat less sweets

ranpo: but i neeeeed them

you: fine, how about frozen yogurt?

after the dentist trip, you know how much of a hard time ranpo has with eating less sweets so you decide to leave fruit on his desk as a healthier alternative but he won’t TOUCH IT

after some bribery on fukuzawa’s part (’i’ll acknowledge you if you eat fruit more and also tell atsushi to give you a piggyback ride every day’) he finally concedes

he actually finds himself liking fruit so in the afternoon he’ll swing by the office just in time for you to be slicing fruit

ranpo gets over the fact that you sent him to the dentist and enjoys his time in the clinic eating fruit with you and sleeping on the cots inside

your clinic is where he hides when he doesn’t want to do work and when he pouts and asks you to say that he’s sick you can’t help but go along with it

he’s also super physically affectionate around you. will literally have his body draped over yours sometimes while you work

people start talking about how you two look good there and one time someone asked if the two of you are dating and ranpo’s like ‘of course we are!’

and you’re surprised self is about to protest when ranpo smirks at you and says ‘why? am i wrong?’

lmao ofc he’s not you’ve been struggling to keep yourself from being a flustered mess around him

he’s still clingy around you but this time he comes into the clinic every few minutes to ask for a kiss

Requests are open again hihi as a member of Kunikida and Oda deserve all the love club, I MUST request the scenario 6 with Kunikida, LIKE, LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING HE WOULD DO and never admit it

Thanks for this club haha, love your works and I am so happy we can ask for it again 🥺

The “Kunikida and Oda deserve all the love and affection because they do” club is steady growing and we love to see it 😌🙏🏾 and YES Kunikida will 100% do this no hesitation even if he’s complaining the whole time lol and thanks for reading my works and for all the love 🥺💚💙 reader is gender neutral!

TW: mentions of undressing (Okay it’s not spicy/suggestive, he’s just being a good boyfriend so that you can get in the shower 🥺 no body parts/nothing graphic is mentioned but I still wanted to put a TW!)

Prompt Scenario: “Person A having a broken leg and Person B has to carry them up and down the stairs to their bedroom every night/morning.” with Kunikida!

This sucks.

You didn’t think that your injury would be this bad, but here you are. One that left you completely immobile.

Okay you’re exaggerating, but you could only do so much being stuck in this bed!

The white cast surrounding your broken leg (although filled with doodles by Naomi, Dazai, Ranpo, and the others), baring as a constant reminder of your mistake. It just took one misstep and a nasty fall down the stairs that left your leg bending in an angle that it definitely wasn’t suppose to be. While Yosano happily offered her services to heal, you weren’t necessarily ready to go through with that process yet. Besides, now you can somewhat laze around and not get shot at for once!

That was your first thought initially.

You got bored and lonely fast.

With Kunikida having to go to work, and you still being monitored in the hospital, you could only do so much for your entertainment. The food wasn’t the greatest, you flipped through all the channels at least three times in the last hour, and you missed sharing the bed with your lover.

You really miss him, and you’re starting to take up Yosano’s offer...

But, you couldn’t contain your fidgeting in the bed today after hearing the good news.

You’re finally getting released from this prison today! You can finally get to breathe in some fresh air, and not the stale one that’s been circling in your room for past couple of days. With the addition of seeing your boyfriend, who you know for a fact misses you just as much as you do, (and maybe even more).

—-

So coming home came with some setbacks.

Mainly the stairs that started all of this mess to begin with.

Kunikida was already cooking dinner, which you offered to help, but he just demanded asked that you sit down and let your leg rest. In your absence, he’s written down almost all of the medical advice on broken legs known to man and is determined to be the best caretaker for you. You couldn’t just sit around forever, and you’re ready to be in your pajamas, to get underneath your own covers, and to cuddle with your partner whose warmth you have been missing for the past couple of days.

You got crutches to use, and you’re 100% sure that you can hobble your way up the stairs and make it to the bedroom in one piece this time. You just have to have patience and take your time, just take one step at a time, and you should be okay! If you could just control your shaking grip on your crutches, and get your good leg to become steady enough to stand on the first step, then you can-

“What do you think you’re doing?”

Your foot barely hovered over the step before you felt his presence behind you. You could practically feel the anger radiating off of him, no doubt the look on his face being a mix of anger and disappointment.

When you turned around, you were proven correct. Kunikida’s brows were furrowing deeper and deeper the longer you stayed in this compromising position, and you would have laughed seeing him wearing your shared apron if you didn’t see his hold on the spatula tightening each second. “Um, well, I was going to-”

“Go up the very stairs that left you like this, unsupervised.”

Surprisingly, he’s still intimidating, even in the “This cook accepts cleaned plates AND kisses as payment” apron.

“Well, I’m-I’m being extra careful! I can’t not go into our bedroom. I sleep there too you know.” You laughed, but the situation became even more awkward when he wasn’t laughing with you.

“You just got back home and already about to put yourself in harm’s way again, and we haven’t even ate yet!”

You started to panic more when he untied the apron and took off his glasses.

You just accepted your fate whenever he approached you again, slowly easing yourself down and preparing yourself to be chewed out and in for a lengthy lecture that’ll probably leave you falling asleep on the steps soon enough-

Until he kneeled down in front of you, back turned.

Okay you’re confused.

You’re just staring at his back, wondering what exactly he’s doing. Is this suppose to be symbolic message or something? Is this his way of saying that he’s giving you the silent treatment-

“Well?”

“Well what?”

“The schedule is already off, and since you’re just so ready to jump ahead, we might as well get it over with. If it’ll make you listen and not be so irrational, then fine.”

It still isn’t clicking for you-

“Hurry up and get on already! We don’t have all night!”

Ohhhh, he wants you to get on...his back? However, judging by the red spreading to the tips of his ears, that’s what he wants. You would tease him, but your heart is too busy melting at the fact that he would do this for you. “Doppo, you don’t have to do this-”

“I do. If you think that you’re going near any of these steps without me, then you’re sorely mistaken. Not to mention how hard it will be for you to maneuver around, so I do need to do this. So, go ahead, before we get more behind schedule.”

You’re still on the brink of refusing him, but he does have a point; it’s going to be a little difficult trying to move around with this. You also recognized that this is one of his ways of showing that he cares, and wants to help you through this. Kunikida has always been someone that will truly help when you need it, even if you don’t ask for it. He may complain about it being “extra work”, but you know that he doesn’t mean it, and will do it again in a heartbeat if needed be.

It’s just one of the many reasons why you love him so much.

Plus, this is probably one of the only times you’ll be able to get a piggyback ride without begging, so why not?

It wasn’t difficult to get on his back, especially since he’s handling you like you’re so fragile (which you guess you are right now). It was funny, you both know what you’re capable of but yet he’s always so gentle with you, but it’s never to the point that he’s degrading or belittling.

“(Y/N)?”

“Hm?”

“Do you remember what I told you when we first started dating?”

“Of course, I can never forget it!”

“The day that I confessed to you, I told you that I will always take care of you. That I would do my best to keep you safe, to protect you, and I already failed you.” His tone became somber. You couldn’t imagine what was going through his head the nights you were gone.

Going through his daily routine and sleeping in an empty bed without you filled him with guilt, especially knowing that this happened over something that could have been easily prevented. He blamed himself every day, it didn’t matter that you weren’t gone for long. It was still his fault.

“Doppo, don’t blame yourself-”

“I do. I was already careless enough to let you get hurt, and I can’t let that happen again, I won’t.” You would be more concerned, but his tone shifted. It was no longer full of pity for himself, full of guilt. Instead, it was full of unwavering determination, that this scenario can’t- will never happen again.

You could tell that he was making a promise, to both you and himself. And he is a man of his word, after all.

You already made it to your shared bedroom, Kunikida carrying you to the restroom and sitting you on the edge of the bed. He already began to grab your PJs from the dresser, and made his way back to you. “Is it okay if- if I-”

“Yes, Doppo, I don’t mind you helping me undress.” You laughed. You two live together and he’s seen you hundreds of times, yet he still asks every time if he could come in if you’re changing. Just another reason why you fell for him.

Once you were done, he carried you again to the bathroom, the water already running and him checking to make sure it’s right for you. He already rolled his sleeves up and kneeled down in front of you, and you could hear him mumbling to himself about the different methods he can use to keep your cast dry as he lifted it.

You swear he’s too sweet for his own good, no matter how many times he tries to deny it.

—-

Even after your cast was off and your leg was good as new, Kunikida still caught himself trying to carrying you up the stairs every morning and night. He felt embarrassed every time you laughed and reminded him that he didn’t have to do it anymore. He still stood close by though, with the excuse that you’re still clumsy enough that it’s bound to happen again (which you just rolled your eyes and kissed his cheek). He did get the chance to carry you however whenever you were too tired or fell asleep downstairs, no exceptions.

(You may or may not have fake sleep sometimes so that he can carry you.)

Yes, he may reprimand and complain about how irresponsible and reckless you can be, he may act like the chaos you create throws off his dear schedule so much, and he wonders how you managed to make him fall in love with you so deeply when you don’t even qualify for all of his ideals, but he doesn’t care believe it or not. He wouldn’t give you up for the world.

Besides, anything to have you in his arms is worth the headache.

[alphasmoonlit-selfships]

Hiya! I noticed your f/o take over asks and would like to send some! 🌅,🎢, 💬 With Atsushi! Hope your tiger can answer! :3

The tall, silver haired gifted blinks in curiosity at the ask, smiling with interest, “Well, this is new.” He chuckled as he gives a wave, “I’m guessing by your question, I’m meant to respond instead of Dany.” Atsushi mused as he glanced over to the petite brunette in question, who was busy fussing over her work and unaware of the question sent over.

Atsushi chuckled warmly at this and shakes his head, “Well, I’m sure she won’t mind if I take over for a bit; we are both kind of responsible for this blog.” (Includes Jason too 💖).

“Well let’s jump in shall we! Oh! And before anything, we are in our mid-20’s here! So this is going down memory lane!” 🐯✨

🌅How did you two meet?

Oh wow, this feels like so long ago, almost 6 years to be exact! And it’s actually kind of funny now that I think about it! I’m sure Dany agrees.

The way we meet was actually…kind of similar to my situation, yet it has its key differences. For one, Danielle was more on the run and in hiding, she’d use her shadow ability a lot to steal items from small stores to get her food. She knew how to stay off the radar well enough that we had no idea what we were dealing with when the agency was contacted...

Many dubbed her as a ghost due to her shadow gift, which didn’t help Kunikida’s psyche or patience 😅 but Ranpo soon gave us more details after a good laugh. Explaining that this person was a gifted and had a knack for using her ability at night.

So we took the opportunity to find her; my tiger’s hyper senses helped in tracking her, especially when she took notice of how I was able to pick her out. Taking the lead from Kunikida and Dazai and chasing her to one of the warehouses by the Port.

While my ability at the time was well in picking her out, she still had an advantage using the darkness around the warehouse to traverse through the space without making so much as a sound. Suddenly a white light of something flies by and I’m almost struck with what looked like an arrow, yet it disappeared before I realized. It’s like it came from every direction and there was no sure idea on where she was.

Hmm… even when I tried to talk to her, she refused to appear. Only when I made the effort to fight back did she make some appearance, but just slightly with how quickly she left her ability and returned to it. But I got an upper hand on her once I got an idea of her repetitive jabs. Enough for her to reveal herself to me, but not really her.

Rather she appeared as her wolf, I was almost struck by her appearance, maybe out of surprise and awe than fear. My tiger can attest to the feeling, but we were quick to realize the situation were in and wasn’t the time to really admire a large wolf gifted that wasn’t keen on being captured.

And I will say, at the time I hadn’t transformed into a full grown tiger again, not since the Guild chaos. I had better control over my ability, especially due to the President’s influence, but willing that part of my ability again? I couldn’t in that moment with worry I might lose control. I could feel he wanted to leave and break free to protect me when Danielle’s ability overwhelmed me enough to pin me to the ground.

But I could just tell, if you could believe it, that she didn’t want to hurt me, more than anything, intimidate me into submission and scare me off. Overall, Dany didn’t want to fight, she didn’t want to hurt anyone, and I could see she wasn’t just a confused and uncontrolled animal gifted like I was. She was well-aware and just trying to get by from wherever she was running from.

It was then Kunikida and Dazai had caught up, gun fire seeming to break Danielle’s wolf ability attention from me and towards them. Fear clear as day, before Dazai nullified her ability.

By then, we were surprised by her appearance; clearly not expecting her to be small in stature and features not from around Japan. Needless to say, she didn’t automatically wake up like I had when I was found out about my ability. The nullification from Dazai’s ability taking a toll on her on her psyche and connection to her ability from what she later told me. So we took her back to the Agency...

Sorry, about the detail, but that was just our first unofficial meeting, first fight, I suppose you can say 🤔😅 but our first conversation was actually a few days after. Sadly, Kunikida insisted I be kept out of interrogating her, especially after we all found out Lucy knew her from her previous affiliation with the Guild. Letting her be the one up and front of getting Dany to talk when she woke up.

Which I suppose I understand…I would have liked to ease her into speaking too…I did just fine with Kyouka-chan…until she asked for food with my money… >.> plus my Tiger may have been an influence to want to meet this new animal gifted…

Anyway, we’re finally here, meeting time! Seems like I was the first to unofficially meet her and the last one to properly introduce myself to her 😅 by then, Danielle was given a proper uniform by the agency and more composed than her disheveled figure prior.

Hmm… maybe it’s our current relationship standing that making me think so fondly of her in that moment. Or maybe it’s how I've always seen her in all honesty. I admit I was taken aback by her, compared to how she fought me nights before, her eyes appeared more brighter, a unique violet due to her ability’s influence, yet held…a lot of story in them. She was cute, I admitted to myself at the time, her voice soft and held an accent under the Japanese she spoke.

I’m pretty sure we were both surprised by each other to an extent, likely from our first ever meeting and the underlying curiosity of our abilities… Up until Dany just voiced out her thoughts that I was the one she fought against nights ago… To which I began to apologize because of how we encountered and fought each other 😅

She apologized in return too, hesitant and almost embarrassed from attacking me…of course I didn’t fault her for the action, she was just trying to protect herself. And with the years of knowing her, I understand why she did what she did…

Nonetheless! I’m grateful to have been there to unofficially meet her the first time… I don’t think Dany would be where she would be if we didn’t catch up her, well me, because Dazai-San and Kunikida-kun definitely took their time 😅👀 (don’t let them know I said that!).

🎢What was the first date like?

Oh! 😳 our first date together? 🥰

Wow, I remember being so nervous to even ask out of just…fear of rejection. Of course silly thing to think about now, all things considered. And how I asked her was kind spontaneous and blunt after… a serious mission that Dany got hurt in. Feelings coming up to the surface thinking I was going to lose her without saying how I felt.

She said yes of course, once she was completely healed with Yosano’s ability. Dazai may have had a bit of high encouragement from me on what we could have done through the day and what Dany would have liked going into it. Which honestly would have been a bit to overwhelming for her in all the suggestions Dazai gave. Course what would have I expected from him 😅

Nonetheless, Dany and I went on an exploration through areas of Yokohama she wanted to visit, such as a national park that had a vibrant garden and array of ponds to have a meal in. It was during a nice spring season so not to hot or overbearing. She definitely loved every minute, especially a bit of cloud gazing. We talked about several stories we hadn’t talked about before and a few deep ones too, such as what she use to do with her family as a child and how this kind of surrounding reminded her about her old home.

We even took a walk through a small shopping strip, where I may have jumped into an uncharacteristic-of-me moment to want to buy her anything she found an interest in. To which Dany fussed over me to not spoil her with silly trinkets; “What could I possibly want more when I have the best thing in the world right beside me?” 😳🥰💖

I at least bought her a stuffed animal plush; she loves the soft, soft textured ones; loves running her hands through them or carrying them about our home; she really loves them. May even clip a favorite one to her belt; she definitely still has it somewhere on a shelf in our room. 😊

The rest of day went well into the night, where she took the lead in taking me a bit into the outer ring of Yokohama, where it’s more residential and less bright lights of the city. She surprised me with some stargazing, but also getting a really beautiful view of the city from a viewing platform near a hiking route. I had lived in Yokohama for about 3 years at that point and I was still in awe of the view from afar. Considering this was the first time I was viewing it from this new location, I was in taken almost with emotion.. Hmm, maybe recalling an old comment Dazai-san made about Yokohama being my city to protect...

But I was also in awe by Dany too, who rambled a bit on how she found this place later when she expanded her night runs. There was a soft glow on her that night that I remember and it left me kind of..in a daze ☺️ Normally quiet and not much of a talker, but I really enjoyed being the special one enough to hear more of her speak…I could listen to her for hours much like she tends to do for others a lot.

I recall her being surprised by my staring and may have gotten flustered and nervous for rambling the way she did. How silly of her to assume I wouldn’t mind listening to her talk for hours if she wanted to UwU I kind of took on a leap of confidence then to calm her down, taking a hold of her cheek to let her know what I thought...

Needless to say, she was definitely blushing hard in the twilight night. I, even more so when she caught me off guard to kiss me first… (I wanted to be the one to do so…but I suppose she could have a claim for that >.> but I can say I’ve claimed many more after that 💖🥰).

💬You have any pet names for S/I?

Oh plenty!~ Other than everyone commonly referring her to Dany-san or Danielle, mostly by Kunikida, I tend to call her Dany (affectionately); which now that I think of it, I am the only one that does.

Dazai did once and she kind of bristled at him with a glare, granted he was being his usual..flirtatious self with her 🙄 (I swear he does to tease both of us..)

But personal pet names I often refer to her as “Darling” or “My Darling” especially when she’s very anxious and visibly worried. She does appreciate it during those times the most. I’ve also called her “Love” a few times, but mostly out of teasing impersonation of her accent when she does it, it always makes her laugh, snort laugh too (which is adorable), when I try 🥰.

I also have learned a bit of Spanish through our short year of friendship before we became an official couple, where I’ve gradually learned more 💕. While I may not be up to par with her, I can still hold a bit of a conversation in the language; and in learning, I gave her a pet name of “My Star”, so “Mi Estrella ✨” (I do say it kind of how it sounds from the wording 😅 and not like how she says it, but she loves it nonetheless 🥺 this pet name makes her smile and visibly more affectionate 💕💖). It may also be my tiger ability coming out and saying that nickname to refer to her ability ^^;

I do call her “Mika” sometimes, but only in private and when comforting her… She wasn’t so keen to me calling her that in the beginning due to… Well, it took a lot of time for her to get use to it, even when I told her that if she didn’t want me to, I wouldn’t call her that. But she slowly insisted, eventually becoming more of the endearing name she wanted it to sound like with me, and told me it was okay to call her that. It’s not the most common pet name for her, but she appreciates and often asks me to call her that when she is feeling down and in need of reassurance.

I also call her “Kitten” occasionally, in whatever blissful and relaxing time we have together, private or in public. It definitely confused a few of the others on while I settled on calling her that when she technically is a wolf… but it just stuck and Dany doesn’t seem to mind it all! (The silver haired young man looks thoughtful with a smile, recalling how flustered and how she purrs quietly when he says that to her) If anything I think her wolf likes it too, probably another instance of my tiger talking out of me. 😅✨

Be on the look out for a post she made about that “Kitten” nickname! ��� it’s been on her drafts for a long while now cause she wanted to include a drawing, which she has but knowing her she wants things to be perfect… Honestly everything she does is just... amazing 💕 She needs to realize that more, I’ll make sure she does UwU 🥰😊!

Thank you for the ask anon! This is the first time I've ever done this and I definitely don't mind accepting any more in the future!

Dany can be very busy sometimes with work and tends to get mentally exhausted very quickly. She also tries so hard to be attentive to things that she forgets to care for herself ;;w;; Anything to lighten the load for My Darling 💖🐯 I know another ask came around! So I'll be sure to answer that as soon as I can! — Atsushi 🐯 🌙

Sacrifice

Pairing : Kunikida x Reader

A/N : Kunikida needs more love, and I'm not gonna give him that this month, but the next three months he will be happy!

T/W : Basically Suicide ; Death ; Depression ; Angst

Angstember Day 8

He knew when you walked in that day, your first day of working at the Agency, he knew you were the one. You had fit all of his ideals, sweet, kind, gentle, but also serious when you needed to be. When you had smiled at him from across the office, he knew that he needed to have you. He began gifting you with love letters, beautiful poems, and flowers. It wasn't too soon after that you two had begun dating. He was so proud to have you on his arm as he walked down the street, he felt like the luckiest man in the world to be able to call you his.

Your ability wasn't combative, not in the slightest. Being able to slow down peoples movements was only helpful for so long, and it didn't help much that using your ability exhausted you entirely. The longer you used it, the weaker you got, and you would often collapse after using it too long. Kunikida was always there to pull you away so you would be safe, but even then you felt like such a useless asset to the Agency.

Asking Kunikida for help in teaching you how to shoot proved to be useless, he thought that your ability was helpful enough without a firearm. You tried to not seem aggravated by this, he was just trying to keep you safe in every way possible, but you thought it would keep you extra safe if you knew how to use a gun. He again, would refute your claim, stating that you would always be safe with him around, and considering he was always around, there was no reason for you to not feel safe. You could never argue against his logic, even if he was wrong, in his mind, he was right.

"I can teach you how to shoot if he's too stuck up to teach you." Dazai offered you one afternoon while at the office. You shook your head, knowing that Kunikida would not only get pissed off at Dazai for interfering, but he would also be upset with you for not trusting his ability to keep you safe himself. "Tch, you have every right to learn how to use a gun Y/N. We're the Armed Detective Agency, key word being armed."

You didn't have time to respond before Kunikida was behind you, his hands on your shoulders as he glared at Dazai. "She has no need for guns when I am with her. I can protect her. You have no right to say what she needs or what she doesn't need." He wasn't controlling, at least that's not the way he thought of it, and not even you took it that way, he just had your best interest in mind and he truly believed that he would be able to keep you safe, always.

Dazai threw his hands in the air and walked away, sighing in frustration. Kunikida sat on the desk in front of you, staring down at you over his glasses with a disappointed look on his face. "Don't look at me like that. I said no." You mumbled, turning your head to look away from him. He grabbed your chin and tilted your head up to look at him.

"I want you to trust me. Trust that I'll keep you safe. I love you, Y/N, you don't need to worry about anything when I'm around. I'll always protect you." He leaned over to press a kiss to your forehead before hopping off your desk and scooting your chair in. "Now get back to work, I love you."

Fukuzawa called you and Kunikida to his office later that afternoon, telling you both about something that came up recently. There was an armed shooter on the loose, and Ranpo had already pinpointed where the mans hideout was, so Fukuzawa thought it would be better for Kunikida and yourself to bring the man into custody. Kunikida was skilled with a gun, and your ability to slow down peoples movements would give the two of you time contain the man and bring cuff the man.

"Thank you sir, we won't let you down." Kunikida bowed, and you followed the movements. You were nervous, and that might seem silly to other people, but you hadn't actually worked on a case with an armed person before. There was a big difference between using your ability on other ability users and regular people with real weapons. Nobody at the Agency knew the specifics of your ability, and the specifics were a real drawback.

You were able to slow down ability users and their abilities because they were basically one in the same. When a person is using their body as their weapon, your ability works perfectly. Guns were a different story, a totally different scenario, a scenario that you wished you wouldn't find yourself in. You would be able to slow the person shooting the gun, but you wouldn't be able to slow the bullet that could be fired from the gun.

You and Kunikida walked out of the building, his fingers placed perfectly between yours as he led you down the street. The map that Ranpo had provided showed that the hideout wasn't far from the office, and it wasn't much of a hideout either. An old, run down shed with the door falling off didn't provide much room for error, and it only had you more on edge. You silently cursed yourself for not pressing Kunikida more to teach you how to shoot, or even just teaching yourself.

"Everything will be fine Y/N. I've handled these kinds of cases many times, there's nothing to worry about." Kunikida whispered to you as he pressed his lips against your temple. Did you seem worried? Could he pick up on it? Your hands were sweating, and you were strangely silent which wasn't normal for you while out on a case.

"I know, I just feel a little warm. When we get back I should lay down, have a rest." You lied, forcing a smile as you looked up at him. He hummed in response, nodding his head, and you hoped that he would believe you.

The two of you turned a corner, ending up behind a bunch of buildings that seemed just as run down as the shack. They were condemned which made it easy for the man to use the shed, but you also wondered why he didn't choose to use the building instead. There had to be a reason behind it, and as you thought of the potential reasons for the choice of housing your thoughts grew more and more pessimistic.

You didn't have premonitions, you couldn't see the future, but something inside you was telling you to take it slow and not rush into things. You could see in your minds eye Kunikida getting hurt, and you couldn't let that happen. It would be your fault in a way for not letting anyone know that your ability wasn't capable of the things they believed it would be. There was no time to warn Kunikida, he was already marching towards the door, pulling you behind him. He trusted your ability and the capabilities he thought it had, he thought that he would be safe as long as you were there.

He kicked open the door, and just as you had thought, as if your premonitions had come to fruition, the man had been waiting for the two of you to come. He was set up behind a large stack of old cardboard boxes, a sniper pointed right at the door prepared to shoot. Even if your ability was capable to slowing down bullets, you wouldn't have had time. He had pulled the trigger before Kunikida could even pull out his own gun.

It was as if time had slowed down, but only for you. You didn't know what to do, you had thought of this scenario, but you hadn't thought of what you'd do if it actually happened. All you knew was that the Agency couldn't lose Kunikida, nothing bad could happen to him, and you wouldn't allow anything bad to happen to him. You jumped in front of the bullets that seemed to be going at Matrix speed through the air, just in time for them to hit your back. One, two, three, four, five... five shots, five bullets all going through you, throwing you against Kunikidas chest.

There had never been a scream so loud, let alone from him. It was guttural, it was terrifying, it was ungodly. The tears came fast, falling down his cheeks and landing on your face, his body was shaking as he carefully lowered you to the ground. The man was waiting for Kunikida to move you away before firing off another set of bullets. What he didn't know was that Kunikida was ready, he had pulled out his gun already when he was bent down next to you, ready to stand up and shoot in one swift move, and that's exactly what he did.

Kunikida wasn't worried about bringing the man into custody, not anymore. He wanted revenge, he saw red, he wanted that man dead for what he had done to you. It was one quick shot to the head, and Kunikida's accuracy was unparalleled. As quickly as his gun went off you heard the thud of the mans body hitting the ground. He would have someone from the Agency come clean up the mess, the only thing he was worried about right now was getting you back to Doctor Yosano.

He scooped you up bridal style, carefully positioning you in his arms as he ran back to the Agency building. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I should have thought about what could have happened, I should have been smarter, I should have thought of every possible outcome, I should have-" He felt you weakly bring your hand up to his face, brushing your fingers along his tear coated cheeks. It was strange, he was panicking more than you were, and you were the one who had been shot. Maybe it was because you had accepted the fact that you were already dead, and you were at peace with it, you had done it for him. "Y-Yoasano is going to save you, I promise. Just hold on a little longer." You had heard stories of her saving Naomi and Junichiro, and you hoped that she would be able to do the same for you, for Kunikida's sake.

He ran into the office going straight for Yosano's office, laying you carefully on the table. Yosano had followed him back, as did everyone else. Seeing Kunikida in that state was different, he was usually stoic and professional, only losing his cool with Dazai, but that was out of anger. He was a mess, his eyes were blood shot red from crying so much on his way over there, his entire body was shaking at this point as he stood back against the wall. "What happened?" Yosano was the first person to speak up, looking from you and then over to Kunikida. He couldn't even answer, he just shook his head before dropping it. He was ashamed of himself, disappointed that he had allowed you to basically sacrifice yourself to save him. "I need everyone to leave, you too Kunikida." He had to be pulled out of the room by Dazai and Atsushi, his body was like stone, he couldn't move on his own. He didn't want to think about losing you, not like this, but he knew that it was a possibility.

He paced the length of the office, everyone sat back and watched as he chewed on the ends of his fingers, only occasionally glancing up from the floor to see if anyone was coming out of the office. It felt like hours instead of minutes, he wanted news, any news at this point would be enough for him. He wanted to know whether he would be able to hold you again, whether he would be able to kiss you again, dance with you again in the seclusion of your small apartment. kiss along your knuckles as he held your hand late at night while the moon shone in through the bedroom window. Should he hold onto hope that he would do those things again, or should he prepare himself for the grieving process? 

The second hand on the clock went around and around, how many full circulations had it done by the time Yosano had finally walked out of the office? Why hadn’t you walked out with her? Why did she look so upset, so disappointed? He knew that face, he knew what it meant, as much as he tried to not accept it, he had no choice but to do just that. Her face was one of someone that had lost the battle to save a life, the face of someone who had given their all but it wasn’t enough in the end. He looked her in the eye, trying to find some glimmer of hope in her eyes, but they were dull, there was nothing there.

“I’m sorry, Kunikida. I tried, I did. But, she was gone, she was dead when you brought her in.” She whispered, obviously feeling guilty about not being able to save you when he had trusted her with the task. 

“No, that’s not right. You can heal her wounds, you can make her better. You-You saved Naomi and Junichiro, remember!” Kunikida began panicking, he didn’t know how to live life without you now. You were the only person who had ever fit his ideals, you were perfect for him, you were his other half, what was he supposed to do without you? It wasn’t fair. 

“The bullet went through her head, Kunikida. She was dead immediately. I can’t fix that. The bullet was lodged in her brain, I-” 

“No! That’s impossible! She smiled at me when I carried her here! She was breathing! She moved, she touched my face! It happened!” 

“You were hallucinating, she wasn’t breathing when you brought her in. The shot killed her instantly. I’m sorry Kunikida.” 

He wasn’t crazy, no. He couldn’t be crazy, he wasn’t hallucinating, He knew what he saw, he felt your hand reach out and touch him, it felt like you were breathing... but.... 

He looked down at his sleeve where your head had been laying, the stain of blood that was becoming darker... had he really felt you touch his face? Was he really capable of going that crazy? Did it even matter anymore? No... Nothing mattered anymore. 

“Kunikida... maybe you should go home... get some rest.” Dazai finally spoke up, but he only shook his head. Home wouldn’t be much better knowing that you weren’t going home with him. Nothing was okay anymore. The worst part was that he didn’t know how to react now that he knew. 

Should he be sad? Should he cry? Should he be angry at himself for not protecting you? Should he be angry at the shooter who had taken you away from him? Or maybe Yosano for not being able to save you? Or maybe Fukuzawa for pairing the two of you up for this case? Maybe he should be mad at you for being so dumb, to jump in front of bullets to save him. That’s one thing he couldn’t be though, he couldn’t be mad at you. You had sacrificed yourself for him, and that was the last act of love you had given him.

Chapter 12: Curtain call (Part 6)

Warnings: none

Author notes: and this is the last part... I hope you liked the chapter...! Do tell me what you think about it in the comments...! I’ll take a moment to write the next chapter, then I’ll come back...!

"Eh? Not yet…?"

I felt disheartened when Dazai told me I was still unable to obtain my detective license.

It had been a couple of days since the case had ended. Sakunosuke-kun had gone back to his mother, who had immediately taken fate in her own hands. She was a brave woman and, despite how mentally weak she had been described to us, she had not dwelled too much on the past events, determined to give her son the best life possible. After thanking us for everything, she had left to a hotel, pending to find a proper home. Ever since, I had rested and taken care of a few minor cases with either Dazai or Kunikida. But I was still not a detective…

"There are things that need to be done before~ That's all I can tell you~" My friend answered as vaguely as ever.

"Thanks for your wonderfully useful advice." I rolled my eyes.

So, the entrance exam was not over… Even if the case was completed…

The Agency was unexpectedly calm in the afternoon, so I decided to go out and have a walk. I had bought a brand new computer for the Fox and wanted to deliver it to him myself. What kind of face would he make, I wondered… He would most certainly be surprised… Or shocked? Messing with him was terribly fun and I was terrified to realise I was getting used to it… Why, it was true that he had interesting reactions…

I had had the large package delivered to a shop near the abandoned building, so I would not have to carry it for too long. At this hour, he was either looking for clients in the old underground casino or working at his place. I tried my luck, without trying to be discreet, this time.

"Fox…!" I exclaimed upon seeing him.

He calmly turned towards me, and grinned, visibly happy.

"Ogawa…! You came back…! Well, I did see you on the surveillance cameras I installed after the panicked attack you gave me last time… But still, I'm glad to see you…!"

"I'm happy to know you enjoy my company so much." I chuckled "I also heard you set your bomber friend free?"

"Indeed." He confirmed "Thanks~ What's that thing you're carrying around by the way?"

"Oh that? It's for you. As an apology for the one I broke, and a thank you gift, too."

"I thought you had no more money…?" He accepted the present.

"I officially am ruined." I smirked "But, you know, I still have one or two offshore accounts from my days in the Port Mafia…~"

"Oh… I see. That's a valuable information you're giving me there~"

His eyes widened when he opened the package.

"Seriously…?!"

"... Is it not to your taste…?"

"You have to be kidding, that computer is…" He paused "It's awesome…! One of the best currently on the market…!"

"Well, I figured, since you'll work for me in the future, I need you to be more efficient than you are now." I declared, satisfied.

"So you officially got accepted into the Agency?"

"Not yet…" I sighed "There is still something left to be done, but I don't know what…"

"Only you can find that out. Except if you can read their mind…"

"That'd be cheating…"

"Didn't you already cheat to solve your case by coming to me?"

"That was… Another type of cheating." I crossed my arms.

"If you say so… Well, I hope for you that you'll get that job. I have something that might interest you about that, if you want, by the way."

"About the Agency…?"

"Its director. He has an ability which allows his subordinates to control theirs. Isn't that something you'd be after…?"

I looked down.

"It's true that, a week ago, I would have tried everything to get my hands on such an ability… Controlling The Sweet Appeals… That's something I've yearned for since… Since my birth, I guess. But if I don't meet the criteria to become a detective, I don't care anymore… I did my best, and I spent wonderful moments by their side… With that memory, I feel I don't even mind dying." I admitted.

"Is that so…?"

"Yes…! I think I am happy now, Fox. When you're happy, it doesn't matter whether you die or not."

"... Shouldn't it be the opposite…?"

"When you're miserable, you want to die, of course, but it'll leave a bitter taste when it's time to go… I know that feeling, I've experienced it, once. But when you're happy, you can leave without regrets. That's the most important to me." I smiled.

"I see… Well, I'm not here to discuss philosophy with you."

"I'm sorry, you were surely in the middle of an important work…"

"Obviously…! I finally found my neighbour's cat and I got another client… I was just talking to them when you came in."

"Oh, my apologies, then…! Please don't mind me, I'll leave…!"

"It's not a big deal." He snickered "Actually, that client wants to talk to you, too."

"Don't tell me…"

He turned on the screen of his computer. Sitting with his back turned towards us, Dazai was swinging on his chair, humming a song only he knew of.

"Dazai…" I groaned "I should have doubted it…"

"Oh, Ogawa…! Here you are, finally…!" He turned towards me.

"You heard everything?" I deduced.

"I, and, in fact, the entire Agency did."

I blushed, embarrassed. All these sweet and naive words… They had heard them…? What about my image of a stern young woman…?!

"Goddammit… You set me up…!"

"Kind of." He laughed "I asked the Fox a favour. We still needed to see what you would do with the information about Fukuzawa-san, after all. To see if you weren't going to threaten him, for example~"

"Who are you taking me for…?" I raised an eyebrow "Really, you…"

"Give me some space…" Yosano-sensei groaned, pushing Dazai aside to sit in front of the screen.

"Sensei…"

"That's me…! You remember our last talk?"

My heart thumped in my chest, painfully.

"Vividly…" I said.

"I understand. I'd like to discuss it with you again, if you'd like. I have something you may want…"

"I'm coming."

I immediately made my way back to the Armed Detective Agency, where the doctor was waiting for me. She offered me a drink in the cafe beneath the offices. I did not dare talk, afraid of what she would tell me. I had had to reflect on my relationship with my deceased mother and admit I had been loved… The only person I had talked to about this matter was Dazai, but that was because he knew the identity of the real murderer. I looked down, barely touching my black tea, as she took a look at a file. She pushed it in front of me.

"First of all, I want you to know that you really are your father's daughter."

I blinked at her.

"What…?"

"I had a paternity test done to see whether Taikin-san was your father or not. He had a suspicious behaviour, mostly regarding the picture you found..." She told me "The results are negative. I'm sorry, but you truly are an Ogawa…"

"It doesn't matter… Being a Taikin would have been as disgusting, anyway…" I mumbled "And they're all dead now..."

"So… What answer have you come up with?"

"Regarding my mother…?"

Her eyes were enough to answer me. I thought for a moment.

"Before I tell you, sensei… There is something you must know." I raised my eyes at her "The massacre I have told you about… I am the one who committed it. With my own hands, I murdered the ones who had given life to me, and spared my sister on purpose."

Her look was one of horror. I was expecting just as much. Sitting in front of a disgusting person like me, who had sinned and gone against the world itself by killing her parents. There was no redemption possible for a parricide like me. There was not even a chance, for no one would ever be willing to give it to me. No human on this Earth was able to smile and say I was forgiven.

"I thought so…" She simply sighed "Your behaviour… You were not appeased the least, as though you blamed yourself… I understand better why you reacted so strongly when I told you that your mother loved you… You felt guilty because, deeply, you already knew so… Am I right?"

"In fact… You can't be righter…" I chuckled bitterly "I killed someone I shouldn't have… But killing isn't like hurting; you can't go back on your deeds. So, indeed… My mother loved me, dearly, and, to thank her, I took her life. Am I not loathsome? Am I not someone you won't ever want to see again?"

I had not noticed that, as I was pronouncing these words, I had gradually stood up from my chair. I was oddly panting, distressed, and barely containing my tears. Yosano-sensei did not say a thing. Instead, she brought a hand to my head, and patted it gently. Why…?

"I am sure that, from where she is, she is happy that you finally understood her feelings, even if you cannot tell her directly anymore…"

I sat back, astonished. Did she not… Hate me…?

"I… Are you not… Grossed out, by me…?"

"Why would I be?" She put a reassuring hand on top of mine "I'd rather try and empathise, instead of judging you. You are Ogawa, don't let your past define you. I know the you now. Perhaps I would have detested the previous Ogawa, but I like the present you and it is all that matters to me. The only thing I wanted, truly, was for you to recognise your mother's love, not to be unfair to her… Had I known that the burden was this heavy, surely I would have asked you to take more time, but… You should know you don't have to live with that guilt forever."

Her opinion differed completely from Dazai's and mine. How could I not feel eternally guilty for an unrepairable crime…? Was it not my punishment for being so blind…? I asked her.

"It is true that guilt will haunt you, but…" Her face darkened a second "You'll learn to live with it. Your mother wouldn't have wanted you to carry that weight forever… Eventually, you will have to let go. You said you were happy… Please, look forward to tomorrow instead of remembering that terrible past. Let ghosts be what they are; ghosts. You can only move on…"

"So I… I should focus on what I should do next… Shouldn't I…?"

"That's exactly it. You're a detective of our Agency. Be proud of it, and don't lower your eyes."

"Well…" I attempted a poor joke "I'm not yet a detective…"

"That's because I forgot something…"

Hidden under the paternity test she had shown me earlier was an official card from the government. My name was written on it and it was signed by the director himself. My detective license…

"Yosano-sensei… Truly, I —"

Dizziness got the better of me without any apparent reason. The world turned around me and I fell from my chair, only to be caught before hitting the cold floor.

"A predicted reaction…~" Dazai's voice echoed in my ear.

"That weird sensation…" I muttered "As though I can actually… Control these voices… That's the directory ability, isn't it…?"

"Mmh… You worked well, Ogawa." He put a hand on my head "Just rest for now… Kunikida-kun will forgive you that much~"

"... I guess he will… Can I decide to… Sleep…?"

"You're in control now." He assured me, before adding, lower "You're really going to live, now…"

I closed my eyes. Yes, I would live, day after day. I had been reborn as a new person, as a detective. These years of torments were finally over…

A single tear rolled on my cheek as I lost consciousness.

[uraharasandals]

grandafuaghter hewwo may i request a chuuya, ranpo, and (if you are comfy) margaret mitchell headcanon where you are are sick and they gotta take care of you :3 ily fuck school you can do it!!!

hewwo!!! I shall not attempt to disclose your identity by identifying you heheee but yes fuck school we can all do it!!! (also you JUST had to request Mitchell for the heck of it did u)

[Nakahara Chuuya]

- Chuuya, no matter what happens, views his partner/ S/O as his first and foremost priority. Regardless of what sickness you were suffering from, how bad it is or how mild it is, he rushes to your side, even if he was at Port Mafia in an executives' meeting. Yes, he will use his ability to fly home if that meant seeing you as quickly as possible.

- If it was just a cold or something mild (though seriously, who knows during COVID), he tells you to stay home and you're subjected to his constant attention. Chuuya lets himself be ordered around, bringing soup, ice cream, or whatever cold liquids may ease your dry throat. He asks for documents to be sent home, and sets up camp by your bed, waking up earlier than you to make sure you aren't being neglected, and sleeping later just to make sure. This basically means he doesn't get much sleep.

- If you wheedle him for stuff, stuff that's bad for your health, his resolve will waver, but he'll stand firm because your health matters the most. However, if you try harder, pulling all the stops such as the puppy eyes or the compliments, Chuuya may compromise. If you continue at it for like, oh, five minutes, then you'd definitely get what you want. Be reasonable though, if you get too demanding and ask for the moon it may very well have the opposite effect. Chuuya knows his boundaries and he pampers you because he chooses to, not because he's your servant.

- If it was something serious, however, Chuuya knows the extent of his resources and will employ whatever means necessary to heal you. He makes sure you're surrounded by the best doctors, the best medical equipment and hospitals money could offer. Nothing would prove too expensive for him if it meant healing you.

- If you had to stay in a hospital, Chuuya will be there for you. If you had to undergo surgery, he'll wait for you. Chuuya doesn't care how long it takes, he'll wait for you as long as he needs to. He knew how hard it was to suffer alone, and he sure as hell wouldn't leave you alone to it. If the doctors keep him out, he'll find alternative ways to send you his love.

[Edogawa Ranpo]

- At the beginning, when you tell Ranpo you're sick, or when you let out a cough or two, he doesn't really believe you, thinking it was a prank of sorts. 'Trying to trick the great detective huh? Not bad!' Jokingly, he tells you that sweets are the only prescription you need, dumping a generous amount onto your desk before plopping away.

- When it became apparent that you may be actually sick though, Ranpo turns serious. If it was a cold or something, he'd still joke around, though you'll notice his heart wasn't really into it as he accompanied your bedside. He keeps it up though, for your sake, and continue pattering about on his nonsense until you start laughing.

- If it was a wound or physical wound that could be patched up quickly (if you could call that being sick), Ranpo doesn't even bat an eye because he knows that nothing couldn't be fixed without a trip to Yosano sensei's. Or at least, that's what he claims. Secretly he sneaks off to the operation room when everyone else was occupied with god knows whatever, and watches you get plowed away by Yosano's. Hopefully his company makes it less terrifying.

- In the case of you being seriously ill with fatal illnesses, Ranpo gets you to the hospital as quickly as possible. We'd seen that he keeps his calm in dire situations, acting as an able commander in place of Fukuzawa during the Cannibalism Arc, and telling Kunikida to get a grip when he panicked. Ranpo does the same when bringing you to the hospital. He isn't really good at emotional advice, though he tries his best. Ranpo does know about sugarcoating though, and he gives you the most optimistic rundown of your illness as an attempt to comfort you.

- Ranpo acts strong around you, but once he's by himself his facade crumbles. At the middle of the night, he clasps your hand tightly, praying that you wouldn't slip away at the end of the night, leaving him along without anyone to trust. Or he kisses you gently, though it was more for his sake than for yours. Yosano has to directly go to him and figuratively pry him off you so he could get some rest.

[Margaret Mitchell]

- Mitchell doesn't...have much experience taking care of other people. Mainly since she came from a fairly affluent family before it fell from honour, but also because as a key fighter of The Guild, it certainly didn't fall to her to take care of such trivial matters.

- But of course, as her partner you are a special exception. So when you fall ill with a cough or a fever, she braces herself, hitches her skirts and goes about it without a complaint. For whomever she loves, Mitchell will do anything for them. She would still shy away from stuff too revolting for her (I headcanon her as having a weak stomach) like bodily fluids, but she can do things like changing a cool towel on your forehead to ease your fever.

- Mitchell will absolutely not admit to caring for you. She wouldn't throw you under the bus exactly, but she'll deny anything and everything that even hints at her being so soft over her partner. It marrs her reputation, and she has a front to keep. Not just because she's a woman but also on behalf of her family as well. However, she'll quietly consult Hawthorne if there's things she doesn't know. Hawthorne is the only one she trusts, after all.

- If it was a serious sickness beyond your everyday healing, Mitchell would square her shoulders, march off for another opinion, before coming to terms that it was something beyond her abilities. She isn't below begging or asking for help when the situation calls for it, and though she may struggle with her pride, Mitchell will push it down for you. She marches off to Fitzgerald and employs all sorts of methods to make him help you, and she doesn't leave until he agrees. Her reputation as a determined woman didn't come out of nowhere, after all.

- Once all of the technical things are taken care of, Mitchell could finally relax and break down silently by your bedside. She allows no one into the bedroom, shutting the whole world out under the guise of you needing absolute silence for recovery. It's better this way anyways; she'll finally have you to herself for a long period of time, even if it was for all the wrong reasons.

[auroreswritings]

Gather around for the first entry that actually feels a little like a horror story! I used the prompt Festival for this one. I just had to chose this one, I love festivals in Japan, I’d give anything to go to one again haha

There’s a bit of violence in it, a fight, an attempt at murder and a demonic possession, just so you know. I don’t think it’s too graphic, but now you’re warned and know what to expect.

I only realized after writing this that Demon was a prompts for day 6. Oh well... I’m not even sure the possession here is from a demon or if it’s something else, so let’s say it works out in the end!

I wasn’t planning on writing something so long, but it seems that I’m the one who actually got possessed by my creativity and it didn’t let go of me until I wrote the last period of the last sentence. Hope you guys like it!

It’s posted here on A03.

A Regular Case of Demonic Possession

              The bright lights of the food stands were shining in the night, yellow glow giving life to the crisp autumn air. The smell of grilled meat and noodles were rising in the atmosphere, awakening the appetite of everyone around. Crowds of people were strolling towards the Kotohira-Otori Shrine, getting ready to celebrate the Day of the Rooster. Most of them had bought their lucky charms already and were now trying to reach the main hall of the shrine to offer a prayer to the gods. Paper lanterns were guiding the visitors like tiny lighthouses, their soft shine warming the heart and offering hope to anyone looking at them. The busy streets were bursting with people and stalls, colors, noises and odors mixing together in a festive mess. It was among this joyous crowd, close to an entrance to the Shopping District, that a peculiar group of people could be seen. The ability users of the Armed Detective Agency had decided to come and visit the festival, enjoying a nice evening out away from their everyday stress. Yosano and Ranpo were walking ahead, eager to spend their hard earned money on sweet things and trinkets only found in these types of festivals. Kunikida was following close behind them, trying to press the first two into going to the shrine and give a prayer for the prosperity of the agency before devouring street food and buying unnecessary items. Trailing after him were Dazai and Atsushi, taking in the atmosphere of the fair. Atsushi loved festivals; the celebrations were always lifting his spirits up and were a good way to forget about his problems, if only for a little while.

              “-Tell me, Atsushi, is there something you want to do?” Dazai inquired, relaxed expression on his face. The younger man thought for a while, looking around for anything interesting to do. He paused before answering:

              “-I want to go to the shrine first. I’d like to pray for the agency’s success. This place and all of you have been so good to me; I want to repay this with a prayer to bring the agency all the blessings it deserves.” A bright smile crept on his lips. It was true he was thankful. The agency had been a great place for him to start a new life, even if it was rocky at first. All the detectives were good to him, and he could never thank them enough for accepting him and offering him their friendship.

              “-Let’s go then, before we lose the others.” Dazai grabbed Atsushi’s hand as he said these words, pulling him through the crowd to try and keep up with their three friends while avoiding the traditional dancers twirling around along the onlookers’ cheers.

              They eventually reached the shrine, all five of the detectives struggling to move farther as people were swarming in front of the red gates. Dazai still had Atsushi’s hand in his. The feeling was warm and familiar, and it made the weretiger happy. Eventually, they all managed to make it to the entrance of the shrine in one piece, and they all passed the gates respectfully, a mystic silence falling between them. They approached the main hall and lined up, each of them starting to pray for the gods, eyes closed and hands joined in front of their chest. After a while, they all bowed, paying their last respects to the deities before moving away. As they did so, a sudden gust of wind flew by them, chilling them to the bones. A strange aura was surrounding them as silence intensified. Looking around, Atsushi realized the bustling crowd had disappeared. It seemed as though all human life had been taken away from the streets, only leaving the five detectives in the now abandoned shrine. Its lights were still shining, but they were no longer warm and welcoming. The lanterns were now cold, their shine hardly illuminating the streets and giving a grim feeling to anyone looking at them. Atsushi could feel a shiver running down his spine, apprehension slowly flowing through his body. His coworkers were all glancing at each other, uneasiness clearly visible in their eyes. The air was thick around them, their breath were heavy in their lungs. No one dared breaking the silence as the atmosphere was getting more and more mystical, as if spirits from the other world had started walking the Earth.

              On his guard, Atsushi stepped closer to his friends, and soon they formed a circle, backs to each other, fixing different directions and ready to act if anything happened. The young man could feel his body shaking lightly. He tried to calm down, but to no avail: his tiger instincts were operating at full speed, his senses heightened, the panic of the prey slithering through his veins. Dazai could feel his distress against him.

              “-Being a scaredy-cat, Atsushi? I didn’t know it took so little to scare you.” As much as the man tried to sound like his usual humorous self, all the detectives could hear the dread sipping in his tone. Even Dazai could hear it, and the sound of his own voice tensed him up some more.

              A violent blast suddenly came through the small group, making their clothes fly around them and their hair go in all directions. Dead leaves were floating everywhere, pebbles were rolling on the floor, trees sounded as if they were about to break from the sudden outburst. Wind was flying around them and the detectives were trying to ground themselves, grabbing onto each other in an attempt to remain on their feet. Leaves and dust were still flying, making it difficult to see. Atsushi was holding on, arms linked with Dazai on one side and Kunikida on the other. As the rush of air sped up, they all crashed to the ground, hoping that gravity would do its job. After what felt like ages, the wind calmed down, as swiftly as it had begun. Atsushi, who had closed his eyes to block off the dust, opened them to assess the damages. As he took in his surroundings, he realized that he was now all alone. All his friends had disappeared without a trace. The shrine was still standing and there were no visible remnants of the strange storm that had happened mere seconds ago. The atmosphere still felt heavy around him, his breath was catching in his throat. The panic he was feeling earlier was still pulsing through him, now amplified by the absence of his fellow ability users. He stood up as silently as possible while trying to breathe more regularly. He knew he had to remain as calm as possible if he wanted to survive whatever was happening here.

              A bell rang. Atsushi jumped at the sound, turning around to the altar he prayed at not so long ago. The air was completely still, and yet the ropes there were swaying lightly, bells resonating ominously. Atsushi couldn’t help but step closer to them, a strong force pulling him towards the ringing sound. Fear was filling his body, his mind was blank. His body was moving on his own, towards danger, making all his negative feelings boil inside of him. His wide eyes were glued to the bells, unable to look elsewhere. He finally came to a stop, facing the altar and the sanctuary behind it straight on. Everything came to a halt. The ropes, the bells, his breathing. The sanctuary’s red doors flew open, cold air bursting against his face. He couldn’t move anymore, and horror filled him as a tall silhouette started to make its way out of the sacred space. A hand slowly reached out, grabbing the crimson door frame. A second hand followed, clenching the opposite side. Before Atsushi could comprehend what was happening, the silhouette hurled itself out of the sanctuary and landed right in front of him, standing straight and menacing. The tiger immediately recognized Dazai, but something felt off. His appearance was the same, but his eyes were a lot darker, pupils blown open to the point his irises were almost invisible. A smirk was plastered on his face, cold and void of its usual gaiety. Atsushi took a step back, horrified. This was not his friend; something was wrong with him, that much he could tell. As Dazai walked towards him, the young man tried to step back again, only to fall on the solid ground. He crawled back as best he could, eyes focused on the possessed man, ready to act at any strange movement from him.

              The thing in Dazai let out a loud cry, head turned to the sky, face distorted. He recoiled a little before jumping on Atsushi, hands first towards the poor tiger’s throat. Atsushi tried to take Dazai’s hands away from him, but he seemed to have gained incredible strength. The weretiger was still sliding back, the weight of the taller man slowing him considerably. They struggled for some time, the beast in Dazai trying to reach Atsushi’s throat while this one was using all the strength he could muster to keep the lean fingers away from his body. Dazai’s eyes were bloodshot, pupils still completely opened, madness oozing from his sinister gaze. Atsushi’s arms eventually gave way, muscles tiring from the harsh battle. He felt his friends’ hands closing in on him, fingers contracting his windpipe to block all air from coming in. The younger man was still trying to fight back, but to no avail: this possessed Dazai was too strong. He was starting to feel fire in his lungs. He glanced around, trying to find something, anything that could save his life. He spotted something to his right: a little lucky charm, symbol of this festival, was lying there, abandoned on the floor. This was his only hope; he didn’t have anything to lose. He stretched his hand towards it, not sure what he’d do with it. His left hand was pressing against Dazai’s torso in an attempt to get him off of him. He managed to scoot closer to the charm, fingertips brushing against the soft golden fabric of the trinket. His lungs were ablaze, his tongue felt like it had doubled in size. Dazai had a crazed look on his face, insane eyes fixing Atsushi’s bulging ones.

              With the last bit of strength he could find in himself, Atsushi pushed his right arm farther, fingers finally wrapping around the small charm. In a desperate attempt to save his life, the tiger slammed the lucky charm in Dazai’s face. His grip around the young man’s throat eased up immediately and an inhumane roar escaped his lips. Atsushi breathed in frantically, fresh air slightly calming the inferno in his chest. Dazai’s hands were pressed to his cheeks, a whimper of pain escaping from the beast within. The weretiger, without taking the time to fully recover, marched straight to his friend’s frame and pressed the charm against his head. Another agonizing cry left Dazai’s body, before tremors took over him. Falling on his back, he shook violently on the floor. Atsushi was still fighting for his breath, and as his panting calmed down, so was Dazai’s shaking. The young man kneeled down next to his friend, gently grabbing his head and resting it on his lap. Burnt marks had appeared where the young man had pressed the charm. Dazai was breathing slowly, his face look peaceful.

              Atsushi caressed his mentor’s injured cheek, whispering small prayers for him to wake up. Eventually, the man’s eyes fluttered open, and he looked at Atsushi with confused but affectionate eyes. Relieved to see his friend back, Atsushi took him in his arms, words of gratitude escaping his lips endlessly. He closed his eyes, burying his face against Dazai’s neck, breathing as deeply as he could despite his wounded throat. Slowly, a shifting could be felt in the atmosphere. The air was getting warmer, lantern lights glowing with their cheerful warmth once more. The crowds clamor was reaching their ears again, enthusiastic cries echoing in the night. Everything was slowly going back to normal. The two men stayed on the floor in each other’s embrace, not daring to more a single muscle. When all sounds and smells had gotten back fully, Atsushi felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking up from Dazai’s neck, he met Kunikida’s concerned eyes.

              “-We saw what happened, are you two alright?” Dazai and Atsushi both nodded in unison. Kunikida let out a relieved sigh. “We wanted to help but were locked out of the shrine and couldn’t go past the gate. Any idea what this was about?” Atsushi shook his head, unable to speak, his mind still not comprehending what had just happened.

              “-This was just a regular case of demonic possession, Kunikida, nothing to worry about.” Dazai’s tired voice rose in the air; his playful tone was back.

              Kunikida’s eyebrows twitched at his remark, but before he could say anything, Yosano intervened:

              “-Let’s get back to the agency, people are starting to look at us. I can treat you when we get there.” She winked and kneeled down next to the two men, helping them up slowly.

              Atsushi was supporting Dazai, the man too exhausted to walk on his own. As they slowly made their way back, the taller man’s grasp around his junior tightened as he whispered into his ear:

              “-Thank you, Atsushi. I would have never made it without you.”

[capisback]

hehe, hello there! first kiss + did they or didn't they, with dazatsu please?

Tropes: First Kiss + Did they or Didn’t they? 

Pairing: Nakajima Atsushi/Dazai Osamu (Dazatsu) 

Notes: Sorry this took a while, dear anon! I actually worked on 4 ideas for this prompt for a while, fully intending to post all of them, but then I realised with how slow I am, this would never get finished like that, so I picked this one and discarded the other three. I really hope you like it, anon!!

Kunikida comes in to the Agency, after a long day on ajob with Atsushi and Dazai. His appearance looks a bit frazzled, since the jobdid involve some dangerous types. His coworkers greet him, as per usual. Then,one of them notices he seems a bit out of it, and asks him what’s up.

After a few seconds of silence, Kunikida answers in abreathy tone, an unsure lilt to his voice: “I think I just saw Dazai andAtsushi kiss.”

The whole Agency freezes. 

And then - 

“WHAT?!”

All Hell breaks loose.

They’re all yelling over one another, some closing inon Kunikida, trying to get all the “juicy” details out of him. The poor, tired,does-not-get-paid-enough-for-this man tries to placate and says that “I couldhave seen wrong. We don’t know for sure.”

To which Naomi cries out that that’s bullshit and shewon’t have it. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for the past six months of mylife and you’re not going to take it away from me, Kunikida!”

She’s seen those boys pining for months, to the pointshe had to almost physically restrain herself from yelling at them to justfucking kiss already. They HAD to have confessed and kissed, because if not shemight actually die on the spot.

Tanizaki, of course, tries to calm his sister down,but he backs down the instant she shoots him a rather terrifying glare. He’snot entirely convinced Dazai and Atsushi did finally confess to each other, buthe’ll wisely keep his mouth shut about that, lest he fall victim to hissister’s wrath.

Yosano voices his objections in his stead.“This is Dazai and Atsushi we’re talking about”, she says. “Those two idiotswill probably die before confessing.”

Noami tries to protest once more, but Yosano levelsher with an unimpressed look. “Do you really think they’d suddenly confess andkiss after nearly a year of obliviously pining?”

“You never know!” Naomi objects. She’s not going togive up hope, even if the memory of the two making such obvious googly eyes ateach other, with somehow neither of them noticing, makes her just a taddesperate.

Haruno, on her way to the file cabinet after havinggiven Ranpo some Ramune, says that perhaps Kunikida did see wrong, but that itwould be quite nice if they actually did confess.

This only fuels the supporters, and soon the Agencyhas divided itself into two camps: Did and Did Not.

Kunikida sits to the side, exasperated, wishing he’dnever opened his damn mouth. Kyouka places a silent, comforting hand on hisshoulder, as she watches the battle with a stoic expression.

The bickering continues until Kenji speaks up (and weall know everyone has to listen when the good boy speaks): “We won’t reallyknow what happened until we ask Dazai-san and Atsushi-kun themselves, right?”

The Agency bursts into quiet mumbles of agreement, andin the end they decide to wait for the duo in question to return so that theycan pry into their private lives. After waiting for what seems like forever,the door finally opens, and an unusually quiet, smiling Dazai enters, followed by acontently (and slightly flustered) smiling Atsushi.

Naomi can’t contain herself, her excitement burstingat the seams. “OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS DID KISS!” she yells-slash-squeals.

A bouquet of red dashes across Dazai’s face andAtsushi simply descends into being a flustered mess.

“We don’t know that!” Yosano admonishes, beforeeagerly turning towards the duo, expectation shining in her eyes. “But you guysdid kiss, right?”

“You guys – ” Kunikida growls, about to say somethingabout his co-workers’ poor behaviour.

“Why are you so interested?” Dazai says, trying toappear aloof. At the very least, he’s not really appreciating his co-workers’prying.

Yosano rolls her eyes. “Because we’re detectives”, shesays, sounding quite done. “Or maybe because we’ve been watching you two pineand drool over each other for a year.”

“Please tellus you confessed”, Naomi whines.

Atsushi squeaks out an answer before things can take abad turn: “Um – Y-yes. Dazai-san and I are…” The red in his face darkens ashade “We’re a couple now.”

The Agency “cheers” (Naomi literally so, while Ranposimply loudly says “Finally”) and take turns saying their own forms ofcongratulations to the newly formed couple (It feels surreal to them, how happytheir coworkers are. It’s like they’ve just announced they’d gotten engagedafter years of being a couple and that they’d decided to adopt a child, and hadsomehow saved Yokohama of destruction in the process. But they suppose they’lltake it just as is.)

Ithink I’d maybe even put a second chapter to this one (I’m a one-shot type ofgal most of the time, so), describing how their first kiss came to be. Basically,they’re coming back from that dangerous mission, and our dear fool Atsushi’sbeen a bit reckless again, probably got himself stabbed or something.Kunikida’s already far ahead of them as they hang back, walking together a bitsolemnly, covered by the low rays of the tired sun. Atsushi says “I’m sorry”,and Dazai plays the oblivious fool. “Hmm? For what, Atsushi-kun?” 

“For…”Atsushi pauses. “For worrying you.”

Dazaiblinks at that answer, but then breathes out an amused breath. Of course that’swhat Atsushi’s sorry about. “You’re really too reckless”, he says, whichprompts another “I’m sorry” from Atsushi. He looks a bit sheepish. “I can’treally help it.” Dazai tuts his disapproval. “That’s not true, Atsushi-kun.It’s something you can learn. You just need more training.”

“Maybe”,Atsushi relents, looking back in front of him. “But my body moves on its ownwhen Dazai-san’s in danger.” Not really realising the effect his words have onpoor smitten Dazai, Atsushi continues in a teasing-slash-slightly scolding tone:“If anything, this means you’re theone who needs to be more careful, Dazai-san.” Dazai scrapes his throat to tryand dislodge the feelings (the pure fondness) getting stuck there.

“Ah,well,” he says, trying to collect himself, “I can try if it’s for you,Atsushi-kun.”

Atsushi’sface shows his surprise, and then it morphs into something entirely too gentle.“Really? You’d do that for me?”

 Dazai swallows. “Yeah.”

Atsushismiles. “I’m glad. I don’t want to see you hurt.”

Dazaichuckles, humourlessly. “Nor I you, Atsushi-kun, but you seem to have a way ofdoing that.”

“Ireally can’t help it,” Atsushi pouts. “I don’t want to get hurt, either, butdanger always seems to find me.”

“Andthen you rush into it.” Dazai quirks an eyebrow and Atsushi’s pout deepens. “Can’thelp it”, he mumbles. “It just… happens.”

“It’sbecause you’re too kind”, Dazai says.

Atsushiwants to both protest and to say ‘I thought it was because I’m too reckless’.

“You’retoo good for – us.” Too good for me,Dazai thinks.

Atsushisimply stares at him for a few long seconds, before he averts his gaze. “I’mnot”, he says, finally. He lets out a breathy laugh. “If anything, I don’t deserveall of this.”

Not asurprising answer – it was the answer Dazai was expecting. He didn’t sayanything in response, no matter how much his soul cried it wasn’t true, nomatter how much he wanted to say Atsushi didn’t deserve to have such a warpedview of himself, no matter how much his body wanted to wrap itself aroundAtsushi and never let him go, to let him know just how wonderful he was. 

“But”,Atsushi continued, mellowed sunset eyes meeting Dazai’s. “I’m so grateful Ihave it, anyway.” Atsushi smiled. “I’m so lucky, Dazai-san. I’m lucky I’msurrounded by such wonderful people. I’m lucky to have people who worry andcare for me. I’m lucky to have a place to belong.” A small pause, and a flashof something in Atsushi’s eyes. “Butmost importantly, I’m lucky to have met you, Dazai-san.”

Dazai’seyes widened just a tad. “Atsushi-kun – ” he breathed, though he didn’t knowwhat he wanted to say, why he was saying anything at all. His brain wasn’tcomputing with him, not when the object of his affection was looking at himwith such adoration.

“Dazai-san”,Atsushi said, voice just as gentle as the rest of him. “I love you.”

(Aaaandthere went Dazai’s ability to function. Just like that.) Stunned into silence,Dazai didn’t do much more than stare at his subordinate. Was this real? Thiscouldn’t be. No way. This was probably just a dream. A really, really gooddream. Dazai dug his nail into the palm of his hand. A flash of pain. Okay, nota dream then. But how could this possibly be real? What had Dazai done todeserve something like this?

Hissilence made Atsushi falter, and he stuttered when he next spoke “I – I knowit’s… weird. And I don’t – I’m not everything you deserve. I’m just me andyou’re – you.” The way Atsushibreathed that ‘you’ sent a shiver down Dazai’s back. He wasn’t used to peoplecalling him ‘you’ with such warmth ensnared in their voice. “But I hope you canaccept my feelings. You don’t have to return them. I wouldn’t ask you that. Icompletely understand. But, I thought, you should know that I…” Atsushi trailsoff when Dazai cups his cheek. Dazai doesn’t think he’s ever touched anythingor anyone so gently before. 

“You’vegot it all wrong, Atsushi-kun,” he says. His voice isn’t soft, not likeAtsushi’s is, but his molten brown eyes shine with warmth and love, and Atsushiwishes he could freeze the moment and live in it forever, to be able to stareat Dazai’s beautiful eyes for all eternity. “I don’t deserve you.”

Andthen he’s leaning forward, and Atsushi’s reaching up to meet him halfway, andthen they’re kissing. It’s nothing too grand, it’s quick and simple, but it’sperfect. It’s everything they’ve been waiting for. When they part, they’re bothsmiling.

“So”,Atsushi breathes. “Does this mean we’re…” He trails off, unsure, but the smilewon’t stay off his face. Dazai’s smile widens just a tad. “Yes.” Atsushi beamsand kisses him again.

Andthen they’re late because they hang back to make out lol

(No,actually, it’s all really cute. They’re both quite hesitant and genuinely justso happy, and they just can’t get enough of each other or snap out of themoment.)

(It’swhen they sun has dipped down low, when the night colours are bleeding into thecity, that they realise just how late it is, and that Kunikida has effectivelyleft them behind. They laugh about it as they make their way back to the Agency(none the wiser about how much turmoil they’ve brought to their coworkers).)

basically soukoku wedding day fanfic that I wanted to write

“Chuuya-” Kouyou knocked lightly on the lightly colored wood door. “Chuuya honey it’s time to wake up.” She continued as she stepped over to wear the little redhead slept and lightly shook his shoulder. After a few futile attempts at waking him up, she bat his shoulder with her right hand. “Chuuya get up, now.” She commanded, causing him to stir.

“What the hell? What time is is?” He groaned and turned onto his back before pushing himself up onto his elbows.

“It’s 10 a.m. You need to get up and start getting ready.” She stated before standing up and walking to the curtains, yanking them open and letting in the natural sunlight of the morning. Chuuya groaned loudly while flopping back down onto his bed and covering his face with his pillow.

~~ Dazai at the metal table on the balcony, a mug of coffee sitting in front of him, releasing steam into the air. He let out a deep breath while running his finger around the top of the cup. His chin rested on his hand and his view was cast downwards toward the street, watching the people go about their days.

“Dazai, what are you doing?” Kunikida asked as he opened the sliding glass door that connected the apartment and the balcony.

“Mentally preparing myself for today.” He replied queitly.

“You don’t seem excited.” Kunikida pulled out the chair that was across from Dazai and sat down. Dazai shifted his gaze over to his blond best friend.

“Kunikida words couldn’t express how happy I am, but I just want everything to go perfectly.”

“It’ll be fine, calm down.” Kunikida stood from the chair. “Get in here, you’ve gotta clean yourself up. I can’t let you get married looking like that.”

~~

“Ow ow! Be gentle nee-san, I wanna have soome hair for my wedding.” Chuuya spoke as Kouyou struggled to get the hairbrush through the thick hair.

“I’m sorry your hair is just being very uncooperative.”

“Now you know why I wear a hat all the time.” They bother laughed before Kouyou gave one last tug on his hair. “Ah fuck!”

“Alright that was the last knot.” She said as she slowly ran the brush through the soft curly hair. Chuuya sighed and slumped into the chair slightly, his eyes cast downward. “Nervous?”

“Very. I don’t really know why. I’m so excited but I can’t shake my anxiety.”

“Oh sweetheart it’s completely normal to be anxious on a big day. Just know that you’re going to have the time of your life.” She comforted and rubbed his arm a bit. Chuuya smiled as he gazed at his own refelction in front of him.

“I just can’t believe this is finally happening.” He smiled.

~~

Dazai attempted to straighten up his curly, voluminous hair in the mirror. He sighed and set his hands down on the counter that sat in between him and the mirror, giving a heavy sigh.

“Dazai seriously you’re not even dressed yet?” Kunikida complained as he entered the room. “Ugh your hair is still a mess. Did you even wash it when you showered?” He continued.

“Yes I washed it and it won’t flatten.” Dazai chuckled a bit. “I look like I just came in from a windstorm and decided to get married without even glancing at my reflection.”

“Get over here.” Kunikida demaned as he dragged over a chair and placed it in front of him. “Sit down.” Dazai quietly oblidged and turned so his back faced the blond. He watched the other begin to skillfully work with Dazai’s hair, brushing out and knots and tangles. Within the span of 10 minutes, Dazai’s hair was brushed through and styled. “There. Much more acceptable.”

“Wow,” Dazai marvelled at his pristine hair. “When did you learn to do hair?”

“Dazai have you seen the length of my hair. I kinda had to.” He shrugged before going towards the closet and retrieving the pieces of Dazai’s tuxedo. “Now get dressed, the ceremony starts in two hours.”

“Alright alright but you’re gonna have to get out if you want me to get dressed.” Dazai teased, causing the blond to cringe slightly before exiting the room, leaving behind a smiling Dazai.

~~~

“You know, Dazai actually tried to convince me to wear a gown. Can you believe it? A wedding gown. I’m a male, I’m gonna wear a tux.” Chuuya laughed as he ranted to his mother figure as he buttoned his shirt. “He’s lucky I even agreed to wear a white tux, I wanted to wear an all black one.” He shrugged as he buttoned his jacket. “How does this look?” He turned to Kouyou and opened his arms. She sat in silence, a smile spreading on her face and tears welling up in her eyes.

“You look amazing, dear.” Her voice broke a bit. “I never thought this day would come.” a single tear escaped her eye before she caught it with the sleeve of her formal kimono. Chuuya smiled and let out a small, cheerful laugh.

“How long until the ceremony?” He turned and looked at the clock at the wall.

“Just 45 minutes left.” Kouyou answered as Chuuya took in a breath. “Deep breath, Chuuya. Everything will be perfect.” Chuuya smiled.

“I know. I’m just really excited.”

~~

“Thanks for coming you guys!” Dazai greeted as he walked over to his friends from the agency. “Wow Ranpo I’m surprised you came.” Dazai added, causing an burst of laughter from the others.

“I’m pretty sure he only came for a slice of cake.” Yosano joked, causing more uncontrolable laughter.

“Where do we put wedding gifts, Dazai?” Atsushi smiled to the brunet and held out a neatly wrapped box.

“Right on that table over there.” Dazai smiled and pointed to the table on the right side of the door. Atsushi handed the gift to Kyouka who graciously walked over and set the box down gently.

“So you nervous?” Yosano asked as she walked over and lightly elbowed Dazai’s side. He laughed a bit and smiled at her.

“A little bit. But that doesn’t matter because no matter what happens, I’m getting married and that’s all that matters.”

“Aww.” Everyone cooed at his words.

“Heartwarming, Dazai.” Hirotsu interjected and placed a hand on the other’s shoulder.

“Oh Hirotsu I’m glad you could come.”

“Of course, I wouldn’t miss you and Nakahara’s big day.” He smiled.

“Ready to start, Dazai?” Kouyou asked as she walked up to him, hands in her sleeves. Dazai smiled.

“As ready as I’ll ever be.”

Dazai walked up to his spot at the alter, followed by Kunikida, then Atsushi. Music from the piano sounded as one by one people filed down the aisle and stood on the side Chuuya would soon be on. Dazai smiled and folded his hands in front of him, fingers fidgeting in anticipation.

Soon everyone rose to their feet as Elise began to skip down the aisle, tossing red roses behind her, painting Chuuya’s path with the gentle petals. Once she reached the aisle, she tossed the last of the petals and skipped off to the right to return to Mori’s side.

Heads turned as Chuuya became visible in the doorway. Dazai bit his lip as he laid his eyes on him. The white tuxedo jacket hugged his small waist and rested on his hips. Escorted by Kouyou, theybegan to slowly make their way down the aisle, smiling at all of the smiles. Chuuya smiled at all of the faces he’s come to know over the years, until his eyes finally landed on Dazai. Dazai couldn’t help the smile that grew and the tears that threatened to spill. He inhaled a shaky breath as Chuuya climbed up the stairs to the alter. Kouyou released his arm as Dazai stretched out his hand. Chuuya planted a soft kiss on Kouyou’s temple before placing his hand in Dazai’s. He stood in front of Dazai, staring into the soft burgundy eyes that he lost himself in every time.

~~

“I understand that you have written vows for each other?” Chuuya and Dazai smiled at each other. “Dazai, your vows.” Dazai took a deep breath before beginning to speak.

“Chuuya, I could stand here and tell you all these conventional things like ‘I’ve always been by your side and that will never change’ or things like that but then I’d be lying. I screwed up. And every day I did’t see you, I thought about you. And when I finally saw you two years after I left, I couldn’t believe it. I had to talk to you again. I’m so glad I did. And I’m even more glad that you forgave me. You gave me another chance. So to make up for when I wasn’t there, I vow to never leave you so long as you live. I’ll always be by your side, Chuuya. Because I love you so much. And I never wanna live without you again.” Chuuya’s eyes watered as he bit his lip and smiled up to Dazai.

“Beautiful. Chuuya, your vows.” Chuuya exhaled.

“Dazai, I’m just gonna come out and say it. I’ve loved you for years. Every mission we went on, every might we spent in mafia protected hotel rooms, watching tv in bed, or bickering at each other. I never wanted to leave your side. You never left my mind, even in the times when you weren’t physically there. I could always feel you there, and hear your voice even if you were miles away. I vow to never leave you, always be there to save you from your suicide attempts, make you smile, and every time you feel alone, I’ll be there to grab your hand and hold you. I love you, Dazai.” Dazai bit his bottom lip and smiled down to the redhead.

“Lovely. May I have the rings?” Atsushi handed over the two small silver bands. One plain silver band, the other small silver circles with gems in the middle of each. “Let these rings serve as a physical embodiment of your love for each other, their circular shape signifying the infinite time you will spend loving each other.” Dazai grabbed the jeweled silver ring and slid it onto Chuuya’s hand before Chuuya did the same for Dazai. “Do you, Dazai Osamu, take Chuuya Nakahara, to be your husband, ‘till death do you part?” Dazai turned his head and smiled, gazing into the small oceans.

“Yes, I do.”

“And do you, Chuuya Nakahara, take Dazai Osamu, to be your husband, ‘till death do you part.” Chuuya smiled.

“I do.”

“Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and husband. You may kiss the husband.” They smiled at each other before Dazai grabbed Chuuya’s hips and pulled him in for a kiss. Chuuya wrapped his arms around Dazai’s neck as everyone around them cheered. They separated after a few seconds and stared at each other before letting each other go and facing the audience. The two smiled and waved as they laced their hands together and walked down the aisle together.

BUNGO STRAY DOGS TIME LAPSE(s) & LIGHT NOVELS’ SUMMARIES+REVIEW

1. Time Lapse(s)

I’m guessing everyone has watched the anime and even stay updated to where the manga is now but not the novels, probably just the dark era and entrance exam and the untold stories. but many are confused about the relationships and things that are happening in the whole series. Asagiri-sensei is an amazing writer, he/she(i honestly don’t know if she’s a guy or a girl so yeah) linked all the stories and relationships of characters very well. in the after note of The Untold Story of The Armed Detective Agency, she/he said without reading the other novels and the manga, you can also read the novels cause they’re not linked. i don’t think so cause i’ve actually finished everything till where bsd is updated now. even the novels(i got my novels in chinese, so don’t ask me where i read the english translated ones).after finishing everything, i decided to make a quick summary of the novels. 

*this includes nothing from the anime, cause the anime is pretty much a mix of everything(the manga and the novels). it’s the inaccurate (like mixed) storyline, but if you are just watching it for fun and is not interested in the manga and the novels, the anime made a great storyline. BONES did a great job of it to fill everything up.

So actually the storyline of bsd goes in this way...

* ------> (arrow)

The Untold Story of The Armed Detective Agency-----> Dazai Osamu and The Dark Era-----> Dazai Osamu’s Entrance Exam-----> First Chapter of the manga----> The Night Before Atsushi’s Entrance Exam-----> Continue the story in the manga........ till somewhere before the guild’s era-----> 55 Minutes----->continue the story till The Book arc aka Fyodor’s arc.

*Bungo Stray Dogs Gaiden is happening somewhere in between ‘Continue the story in the manga till somewhere before the guild’s arc’ it’s definitely after dark era and stuff.

*the novels are produced in a non linear way. you’ll figure everything out if you read everything. but i’ve listed everything in a chronological order so you won’t be confused.

now let’s get to the summaries~

The Untold Story of The Armed Detective Agency

so this is the cover.

this story is seen through Fukuzawa’s point of view. this story shows how Fukuzawa met Ranpo when he was younger, how their relationship is built up and how they started their detective jobs. but the true story of how the agnecy is built is not really told till the last few pages. so who helped them with creating the agency is unknown. but seeing how Fukuzawa and Ranpo building their relationship is fun and interesting to read. ranpo was about 14 or 15 by then.

*Turns out Ranpo is an orphan. he used to live in the countryside with his parents. his parents are both really really smart. however, people only praised his dad as he was a famous writer or something?(i forgot...) but at home, they always played some deductive games and his mom would always win. one day, both of them died and Ranpo came to the city alone without understanding the world of adults. he had many jobs but always end up getting fired.

*Odasaku also played quite an important role in the story. he had a few talks with Fukuzawa but not Ranpo. he was still a teenager by then, he also seems older than Ranpo (according to Fukuzawa). from this, we can know that he’s a lot older than Dazai, definitely not same age as someone thought it is.

*Fukuzawa was a bodyguard. he receive jobs from the government. he is known as the ‘Silver Wolf(银狼)’. 

Dazai Osamu and The Dark Era

i’m not going to talk much about this as i bet everyone knows the story of this. it’s being seen through Odasaku’s point of view. this is my personal favourite lol. i’ll just list down everything that didn’t make into the anime adaption.

*Dazai’s injuries came in many different dumb ways according to what he said.

*Odasaku disagrees with his injuries come from dumb ways. he knows that the injuries come from the his past of climbing up to the high ranks in the Port Mafia. According to Odasaku, under Dazai’s bandages, those are all scars, injuries, bruises and stuff. mystery solved i guess? lol

*Odasaku’s morning routine.

*Dazai’s love for cooking and borism for everything except for cooking, more like creating new recipes and forcing Ango and Odasaku to try.

*Dazai’s spartan training for Akutagawa

*Odasaku playinga nd chasing around with the kids and orphans.

*Last few moments of Odasaku’s death, Odasaku asked for a cigarette and told Dazai that he really wanted to have a taste of his fav curry before he dies.

*Dazai was the only person who attended Odasaku’s funeral. he stood in front of the grave in complete black and placed the photo of 3 of them in front of the grave. he said, ‘i really wanted you to try the hard tofu i made.’ HOW IS THIS NOT HEARTBREAKING?!!!!!

*Mori decided to leave Dazai’s executive spot empty and make another member an executive. he didn’t say who it was but i think it’s Chuuya.

Chuuya definitely didn’t become an executive along with Dazai. if yes, all of them wouldn’t say Dazai is the youngest executive. i know Chuuya is a few months older than Dazai but according to age, they’re the same age so yeah. 

Dazai Osamu’s Entrance Exam

this takes place 2 years later after dark era. this is the story of the Azzure King. haha, damn BONES studio misleading everyone Atsushi is in this arc lol. Good job BONES. this is seen through Kunikida’s point of view. so many people have read this too so let’s see what didn’t make into the anime adaption(again).

*ATSUSHI IS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS AT ALL!!!

*Dazai and Kunikida wasn’t called the Detective Duo (forget soukoku, this is the new thing, lol) because of this case. it’s after a few cases they solved.

*Akutagawa is kinda lost because he didn’t know why his senpai aka Dazai left and where he went until the Chapter: Yokohama Ganster Paradise. some characters in this story is involved in helping him to look for Dazai. in an extra volume, he would go to the sake house(?) to wait for Dazai everyday in the 4 years. Akutagawa remembered Dazai is a pretty good drinker so he would challenge at ended up leaving the place drunk. Dazai knew he’s always there and would go after Akutagawa leaving the place drunk.

*Sasaki plays an important role towards Kunikida. remember a chapter(Chapter 28: Emergency Plan) where Kunikida is under Q’s spell and saw a girl who goes like, ‘Kunikida-sama...’ that’s Sasaki. Kunikida can’t really get over Sasaki’s death with the ideals of the Azzure King.

*Dazai knew who was behind this all along and (kinda) made a fool of Sasaki.

The Night Before Atsushi’s Entrance Exam

so this story is in this book and is before the story, The Untold Story of The Armed Detective Agency. it’s a story that describes how Kunikida is sick and tired of Dazai’s lazy attitude and always thinks he’s so smart and stuff so he wants to give him a lesson. He even partnered up with Tanizaki and Naomi to work his plan. Guess what, he ended up getting played by Dazai. 

*It started with Tanizaki and Kunikida in the cafe in the same building as the ADA.  Tanizaki asked what’s the story of the making of the ADA. Kunikida said he doesn’t really know but he has heard that it’s a long and mysterious story. Kunikida then asked Tanizaki why he wanted to know so he said Dazai asked him to ask Kunikida. (I’m curious why Dazai wants to know. is his brain not full enough or something? he wants to know every single detail to plan his long run tragedies again lol)

*Dazai suddenly comes in and flirts with a waitress of the cafe. what we see in the anime, the waitress is a young lady but in the real story, she’s a middle aged woman. damn BONES, again with the misleading.

*Dazai has a paper bag with a fake bomb. haha, you see that?! that’s the bomb we see in Chapter 2: A Certain Bomb. the bomb is left in the sake house Dazai often goes. it’s from a girl that often asks him to be his girlfriend (like wtf? why is Dazai so popular...) Dazai ended up asking Tanizaki(i don’t really understand why he asks Tanizaki for help)  for help. the girl was then found and Dazai warned her off. 

tbh, i don’t think the bomb is really from the girl. i think it’s made by Dazai. i’m guessing Dazai knows how to make bombs lol.

*so all of them are discussing how the entrance exam should be and of course none of them are taking it seriously except for Kunikida and Dazai(he would take it seriously cause he already knew Kunikida’s plan)

*then Dazai suggested they would use the bomb to make the entrance exam.

*so somewhat Kunikida had a plan of using newspaper strips to decide who should carry out the entrance exam. the people with the smaller numbers will have to work and the other way around.

*Dazai got 3 and 4(cause pages). Kunikida goes like, yes, he must have gotten the smallest numbers as he has got 7 and 8(?). 

*ended up Tanizaki got 1 and 2. he was really shocked. 

*Dazai knew Kunikida wanted to give himself a lesson so he has already asked everything about the plan from Naomi.

*so the plan goes according to what we see in chapter 2. 

*then, the 3 of them went to a sushi shop. Dazai suddenly received a plate with nothing on it and ended up that’s a real bomb from the same girl that gave him a fake bomb earlier. he then goes like, help? haha

55 Minutes

this story happens in within the manga before the guild arc, according to what Asagiri-sensei said in the after note. it’s pretty much a spinoff novel with the same characters of the main storyline and some other new characters that i don’t think they’ll ever appear again in other stories, probably just being mentioned. i have not much to say about this. what i mean is, it’s an amazing and mysterious story but it’s hard to describe it just through words, you’ll have to feel it by reading it. so yeah.........

*actually, from this story we know that Dazai is possible to be cured by Yosano but under rare circumstances.

*the whole ADA is very aware that without Dazai, it’s hard to fight sometimes so they’ve planned a thing. if Dazai really succeeded his suicide or has gotten seriously injured, they’ll have Dazai to be cured by Yosano with a way that should only be used for emergencies cause Dazai knew about this and dislikes it a lot. he neglects this a lot. but he ended up getting cured by Yosano without knowing it till now lol. as in the newest chapter, Chapter 50: Cannibalism, Part 5, Dazai has woken up and said he wishes to be cured by Yosano but too bad she couldn’t. so this clearly shows he doesn’t know. this is odd as he’s always clear of everything....

*btw, Dazai’s trash-can!Dazai in this entire story.

Bungo Stray Dogs Gaiden

so this book is the book that not many know about. this is my 2nd favourite. i love Ayatsuji(the guy with sunglasses and in blonde on the left) so much! this book is way too underrated among english readers... too bad. i also won’t be writing a summary on this as it’s the thickest book among all and it’s hard to describe the story. it pretty much just involves youkais, demons, devils of Japanese and Chinese culture. after reading this book, i understand why no one wants to translate this book cause it’s hard to say what type of demons are those. readers might get confused. i have thought of translating this but ended up not.

this story also involves some kind of romance in it. you can get some romance hints from Ayatsuji and Misaki(the girl with cyan hair)’s relationship. i’m too lazy and tired to write their moments but you guys can learn more about them from the Bungo Stray Dogs wikia.

*Misaki’s mom was the person who taught Kyouka’s mom to transfer her ability to their family members. 

*Misaki’s mom has the exact same name as her daughter.

*This story does not take place in Yokohama. it’s not mentioned where it is.

*It’s mostly about the Special Division Department.

*Ango is Misaki’s senpai.

*Ango(mostly) and Chuuya(just a few scenes but plays an important role) is involved.

*Dazai is mentioned, Kaji is mentioned.

so after 2 hrs of writing. i’ve finally finished!!! i’m so glad that i got to be so obsessed with bsd. it’s definitely my fav series. i can’t wait for Asagiri to write more novels and produce more about bsd. that is all. thank you for your time!!
