    Summary

    Atsushi can smell emotions. It was a survival skill that had helped him throughout his life.

    But there is this certain scent that piqued his interest. A scent that he can't quite discern. The scent he picked up whenever his mentor and Mafia Executive Nakahara Chuuya interacts. It confuses him.

    They definitely care for each other. So why? Why did both try to hide it under cold front and barbed insults? Why pretend to be oblivious and ignore it?

    -----

    "Nakahara-san?"

    "Hm?"

    Atsushi fidgets in his seat, trying to find a way to ask the question he'd been meaning to ask the Mafia Executive for awhile.

    "If you have something to say kid, spit it out. I don't have all day,"

    "Are you in love with Dazai-san?"

    Said Executive merely raised an eyebrow, staring back at him.

    "Is this about Akutagawa?"

    Atsushi did not expect that.

    OR

    Atsushi confronts Chuuya about his relationship with his mentor, but gets advice about Akutagawa instead.

    In-depth dialogue on Soukoku relationship, characterisation on point🤞 Bittersweet, the kind where you know there is nothing more to do, they already tried everything

    Summary

    “You what?” Dazai asks.

    Atsushi glances around helplessly.

    “We fucked up,” Akutagawa grumbles, glaring at Atsushi like it’s his fault alone. Atsushi glares back.

    And before Dazai can ask them to explain it to him one more time, Rashomon erupts — a pretty white and from Atsushi.

    Dazai causes problems that somehow cause solutions.

    Very very cute. Maybe too much "softness" for my usual likings(?). But yeah, so refreshing

    Summary

    “Did the water cool down a bit?”

    “No, it’s still too hot to — GET YOUR HANDS OUT OF THE BOWL RIGHT NOW!”

    “But it’s warm.”

    Akutagawa casually stops pretending like he doesn’t have circulation issues and Atsushi thinks he ought to be paid for the amount of stress he goes through.
