Headcanon: Atsushi can only fall asleep when he’s either completely exhausted or when he knows he’s safe.
He rarely got a good nights sleep growing up. Something that carried over when he was abandoned to the streets. He’d walk for hours despite having no energy hoping it would tire him out enough.
The first true good night sleep Atsushi had was during a game night with the Agency. Dazai was in the middle of antagonising Kunikida when Atsushi slump forward.
Luckily he only lightly head butted Dazai’s shoulder.
But he didn’t move.
Dazai was going to ask what was up and then noticed Atsushi was knocked out. He got everyone’s attention and Ranpo deduced it was because Atsushi was exhausted.
Kunikida made a note to make sure Atsushi wasn’t overworking himself (hypocrite.) While Dazai attempted to gently pry Atsushi off him. He froze when Atsushi cried out and clung to Dazai’s arm. His whole body shaking with fear.
Ranpo’s grin left his face, he took off his glasses and simply gestured for Dazai to stay.
Dazai frowned but did so. Running a hand through Atsushi’s hair and reassuring him he was here. It was a relief to them all when Atsushi calmed down. Make an adorable chuffing sound as he did so.
Kunikida questioned what was happening and Kenji said he seen animals on the farm act like this. Ones that were injured or had been mistreated by others would act on edge.
But when they found others that made them feel better they’d act more like themselves.
And stick to the others like glue.
And the Agencies were Atsushi’s glue, his safety.
A blanket was wrapped around Atsushi and in the end they all had a sleepover in the living room of the dorm building.
Because after that none of them could bare to leave Atsushi alone right now. And Atsushi had the best sleep he’d had in years.
he takes pride in acting your personal heater. being the vessel of an entity of chaos means chuuya naturally run a few degree's hotter than the average human, go figure! obviously he’s gonna use that fact to his advantage. he just adores looking after his darling.
is there a slight chill in the air ? he's already lacing your fingers together and tugging you closer to his side. chuuya's favourite move is bringing your hands to his lips, letting his warm breath heat your skin before pressing a kiss to your knuckles. and you bet your cute butt he's gonna be giving you that shit eating grin of his because he knows it’d fluster you.
or maybe it's a night that’s colder than the two of you anticipated. thankfully, you have a 5'3 furnace by your side. he's right behind you, one arm acting as your pillow while the other wraps around your midriff to press you back against him. or he's pulling you to his chest; letting you snuggle into the crook of his neck while his fingers card lazily through your hair. you always end up as a cozy mess of tangled limbs by morning.
or or or ! if the enviroment doesn't exactly allow for such physical displays of affection, he's still got a way to keep you toasty. he doesn't miss a beat when he catches you shiver slightly, even though he's in work mode, discussing the latest operation with his underlings. he shrugs off his coat to wrap over your shoulders without breaking conversation, squeezing you lightly as he does so. his coat is always warm with the heat left from his body, and it smells like home.
I LIVE FOR THIS OMGGG
Can y'all leave me alone for TEN SECONDS (x) (x)
Dazai and Chuuya as that one meme where two people are cuddling in bed and then the big spoon rolls over and just drags the little spoon over with them.
When Chuuya is the big spoon he does it in his sleep, flipping over and dragging Dazai like an oversized doll. Dazai being the light sleeper he is, gets woken up by it and is annoyed. But also too flustered that he just got flipped like a pancake to do anything about it.
Until the next night where he purposely cuddles up to Chuuya as the big spoon, being extra loving and snuggly, coaxing Chuuya to doze off in his arms. And then once he's asleep, Dazai purposely tries to roll over and take Chuuya with him.
Only Chuuya's all muscle and while Dazai's not weak, his core strength isn't the best. So he struggles, he gets halfway, onto his back, with Chuuya partly dragged on top of him and realizes he's stuck.
To his dismay, Chuuya didn't even wake up, he just sprawls out on top of Dazai and continues snoring as Dazai has to accept his fate.
I need Kyouka and Lucy becoming friends
Kyouka being distrusting of Lucy at first because she used to be an enemy.
But Lucy is always giving the younger members of the Agency extra sweet treats when they visit the cafe. She bakes cookies into animal shapes and makes cute faces with icing. Kyouka is fascinated with them. There's always extra marshmallows in her hot chocolate when Lucy serves it to her.
Lucy came from an orphanage, where she and the other children were mistreated. So she always makes sure to give kids a little extra when they come to the cafe.
Kyouka wants to return the favour. She and Atsushi bake cookies to give to Lucy. The decoration is very "My child's first attempt at icing!" and Kyouka is a little embarrassed about presenting them to Lucy. She puts them in a paper bag with a bunny sticker seal then sneaks into the cafe and leaves them for Lucy.
Lucy isn't used to receiving gifts and though she tries to down play her reaction in front of the cafe owner, she's so happy she could cry.
Lucy later thanks Kyouka for the cookies and says they should bake together sometime. It becomes a regular thing for them and Lucy teaches Kyouka how to make little animal faces with icing.
This is how Kyouka also finds out about Lucy's plushie collection and she's immediately in love with them. Sometimes she felt a little immature being so attached to her bunny but seeing how much Lucy loves her collection, she's comforted.
Kyouka is always asking about them. Whenever she does Lucy will bring out the ones she asks about, tell Kyouka their name and how she came to have them. Lucy does a lot of repairs on pre-loved teddies so some of them look quite mismatched. She's used to people finding her collection creepy and dismissing her hobby. So, she's grateful for Kyouka's genuine interest and is always excited to talk about it with her.
When her bunny gets a tear, Kyouka immediately goes to Lucy for repairs. There's no other teddy doctor she'd trust with the job.
Hey dazia who's little spoon and who's big spoon?
Rescued Whumpee afraid of falling asleep because what if they wake up and they'll be back with the Whumper? What if it was all a dream?
Since October is super close now (I know, how spooky!!) I was wondering if anyone would be interested in another skk 31 day list, similar to one I made last year?
If anyone is interested in participating alongside me, I'll make a list!
dazai having an off day and being quieter than usual when suddenly one of kunikidas pens rolls across the desks and bumps into dazai’s hand and transforms into a piece of paper that’s been folded into a heart
I saw a really outrageous spin on coffeeshop au that was basically a barista working at a coffeeshop getting targeted by an assassin and now I'm like??? THINKING. Barista!Dazai getting targeted by assassin!Chuuya, but 1. it's way too busy in the coffee shop for Chuuya to carry out the hit without at least several people seeing him, and 2. Dazai is so painfully unaware that when Chuuya walks up to the counter, he just takes Chuuya's order like normal 😭
Chuuya, grumbling about the fact that he gets paid by the body and not by the hour, begrudgingly gets an americano because he's a human espresso and needs to choke down something bitter until his moment arrives. He's got a white-knuckled grip on his mug while he glares daggers at the customers that won't stop coming in and keeps side-eyeing poor Dazai who's up to his elbows in milk and espresso.
(the moment never comes, Chuuya spends hours there playing on his phone trying to blend in like all the college students and workers that are there chilling doing work)
But also, why does Dazai work such long hours and work so hard, Chuuya has other things he needs to do!!
HOW DID I FORGET TO POST THIS WHAT THE FLIPP, anyway here’s 15 skk the sillies:33 i love them sm AHHH😭😭
