Atsushi Gets Super Clingy When He's Drinking Like The First Time The Ada Took Him Out For Drinks, Dazai

atsushi gets super clingy when he's drinking like the first time the ada took him out for drinks, dazai and kunikida could not move because atsushi was holding them so tightly and he finally, tearfully, allowed kunikida to leave because kunikida had to use the bathroom only to jump across the table and hold onto to junichiro (dragging dazai with him), when they finally left and took him home, they had to claw him off ranpo and even then it only worked because since it was his first time drinking, yosano was going to stay with him just in case

anyway, after the first time, the ada just get used to it and it no longer registers to them as anything but normal

akutagawa and atsushi aren't even tentative friends yet before akutagawa runs into tipsy atsushi and ends the night with an armful of atsushi that wont let go no matter how much he pokes and prods but thats a different story lmao

higuchi: sir... why is the agency's weretiger curled up on your lap

akutagawa: he went drinking with his friends.

sskk wedding where atsushi gives a long ass speech and when its finally time for aku's vows every breathes a sigh of relief becuz aku like is direct, quick to the point so they think it's almost over but aku could talk about atsushi and how much he loves him for days on end and still think its not enough

someone: whats ur type?

atsushi: hmm not too tall or short... dark hair... dark eyes... goth maybe... wears dark colors but can pull off white...stabby... cares about sibling... hm what else... likes long dramatic coats...murdery... mafia-

akutagawa, holding a tendril of rashomon to atsushi's throat, pissed: my sister?

atsushi: no you fucking moron

akutagawa:

akutagawa, concerned: if not my sister... jinko whoever it is must have lied about being in the mafia as i cannot recall anyone else meeting that description

atsushi:

akutagawa, genuinely worried and a little flustered at being so: you should... avoid the liar... if they are dishonest... they arent worth your time

atsushi:

Me trying to figure out how Akutagawa explained his whole ‘I can’t kill for 6 months’ deal to the rest of the mafia, like, ‘sorry boss I know you gave me a direct order to wipe out this opposing organization, but I cut a deal with my enemy/partner/rival/crush to not kill anyone for 6 months so that I can impress him with my superior skills and then immediately kill him, so you’re going to have to select someone else for this mission, sorry.’ Like-

anytime atsushi gets excited his tail pops out and wags but no one tells him becuz they think its funny to see atsushi try and pretend he's not excited and act nonchalant

atsushi is genuinely surprised and confused how everyone always knows what he wants or wants to do

dazai, kunikida, and atsushi coming back from a mission

kunikida, noticing atsushi looking at an ice cream stall: atsushi do u want ice cream

atsushi: oh i dont care either way! if u and dazai san want to then...

dazai: i dont re-

kunikida and dazai staring at atsushi's wagging tail:

dazai: ooh~ kunikida-kun~ how kind~ to offer us ice cream~

kunikida: as if bastard! i'll buy it for atsushi but ur a grown ass man

dazai: if only i had a tail :(

atsushi: what

dazai: what

atsushi:

//

like that

yosano: how did u choose a gift for atsushi? theres so many things i could get... since he's not used to owning much

ranpo: my genius deductive skills obviously

yosano:

ranpo: okay fine i chose like 10 and mentioned them to him subtly and bought the one he wagged his tail for the most

yosano:

yosano: oh shit u are a genius

ranpo: why r u acting surprised

//

atsushi: cant believe i have to work with you again,,, why do we always have to see each other ugh

akutagawa, staring (like wan staring) at atsushi's wagging tail:

//

bet atsushi never takes time off becuz idk he doesn't think he can - like he knows he can but he also doesn't think he can

that doesn't make sense but i hope u get it

anyway he never requests time off - he's only not there if he's sick (and was bullied into resting) or something like he personally never puts in the request

if there's some festival or event or anything that anyone thinks atsushi would want to go and would go if not for work they let the boss man know

fukuzawa: atsushi, you haven't taken much time off, but it's good to take a break now and then. if you want, you can have monday and tuesday off. (which weirdly is the exact time that that one event u wanted to go to is on but obviously thats just a coincidence)

atsushi, tail wagging: oh that's alright

fukuzawa: i insist.

//

what else hmmmmmmmm

kyouka: atsushi, do you want me to make that dish again? you liked it right?

atsushi: oh i did! but you dont have to if you dont want to! i mean if you do you totally can

kyouka, staring at his tail: i'll make it

//

junichiro, after coming back from a longer mission:

atsushi: heyyy we didn't see each other all day!

junichiro, trying not to show how touched he is becuz atsushi's tail is wagging, showing how happy he is:

and so on

confessions

It's quite obvious to anyone who has seen them. Akutagawa and Atsushi have feelings for each other, yet for some reason neither of them have seem to realize the other feels the same.

Fast forward to the present day, the Decay of Angels is taken care of, Yokohama is safe, and everything is back to normal. Well as normal as it can be. You see, the tension has been high between the two men, ever since Akutagawa came back from vampirism with his teeth in Atsushis neck. Neither of them decide to bring it up, why would they? they don't want to be the one to bring up this awkward conversation, Atsushi doesn't want to bring up the fact that maybe he actually enjoyed it, and Akutagawa doesn't want to admit how his heart fluttered when he was that close to the weretiger. So, neither of them talk about it, they go on missions together since the Port Mafia and Agency have come to a mutual understanding that they may need to rely on each other from time to time.

Now, the problem isn't the fact they get paired together on missions, no, that's the opposite of a problem they actually work together amazingly, they don't need words to communicate, they can just look at each other and the point gets across. The problem is Dazai. You see Dazai is perceptive, to perceptive for his own good sometimes. So Obviously he has seen the tension, and obviously he has teased Atsushi about it. But every time Dazai has brought it up, Atsushi has shut it down, albeit he has the biggest blush dusting his cheeks, and a slightly inflated flustered tone while speaking. Akutagawa doesn't have it any easier. Yes he doesn't have Dazai poking fun at the situation, but he does have Chuuya. Chuuya who means well. Chuuya who doesn't want him to make the same mistakes he did. So Chuuya pushes Akutagawa to confess, to realize his feelings for Atsushi is more than just tolerance of him, but genuine feelings. Eventually Akutagawa tries his best to tell him he really does. But he is only human.

"Weretiger we need to talk" No, that will stress Atsushi out. "Atsushi want to get dinner together this weekend?" Is he really asking him on a date. and since when does Akutagawa use Atsushis first name? After many days, and many unsent text messages, they get paired on another mission. The mission goes to plan as it always does, until the end, Atsushi is standing in front of Akutagawa, his face flushed in the prettiest way that Akutagawa has ever seen. Nervously Atsushi asks Akutagawa if he wants to get boba together, only because they had extra time since they finished the mission quickly, no other reason. Of course Akutagawa accepts, only because he is feeling fairly parched, not because he actually wants to spend more time with Atsushi, that would be absurd. Now here they both are, sitting outside the café together, in silence. Which is weird for them, not necessarily Akutagawa, but Atsushi, Atsushi tends to fill the silence. And Akutagawa always thought he hated it, but now that it's not there, he's realized how much he like Atsushi talking. So, he goes to break the silence, but, so does Atsushi does too. After a couple awkward chuckles from the two men, Akutagawa lets Atsushi speak first. When he does, Akutagawa couldn't believe his ears. Atsushi was flustered, he was stumbling over his words, and it wasn't smooth at all, it was embarrassing to be fully honest, But Akutagawa didn't care, he loved every second of it, every stumbled word, every nervous giggle, every little thing Atsushi did. Akutagawa never looked away, he held his breath until Atsushi was finished talking, and when Atsushi finished, the biggest smile crossed Akutagawa face. Akutagawa didn't know how to respond though, how was he supposed to, someone he's seen at his lowest points, someone he sacrificed his life for, was sitting here next to him, acting as if Akutagawa wasn't as in love with him as he was. So instead of using words. Which were never his strongest suit. Akutagawa did what he thought best, and he leaned forward and kissed him. After a couple moments he pulled away smiling softly at Atsushi. "You really think I wouldn't return the sentiment weretiger?" Akutagawa says almost teasingly, yet with a hint off affection laced in with it. After that the rest was history, they started a relationship with each other. No it wasn't perfect, but it was theirs, and no one could take that away from them. Not Dazai with his overbearing teasing. Not Chuuya with his over protectiveness towards Akutagawa. No one could come between the first time Akutagawa felt genuine love and happiness.
