    Summary

    "The Port Mafia's crowning its new leader tomorrow."

    The brunette immediately understands. What it means, for the Port Mafia, for Yokohama, for them, and for his former partner himself.

    He understands, as a weight sinks into his bones, making them heavier, as it settles over his shoulders, forcing it to bend to its gravity, as the weight makes it a little bit harder to breathe.

    "Meaning, the sickeningly human chibi is abandoning his humanity."

    The taunting singsong lilt back in its place.

    "What in the world happened that the fifteen years old who's only purpose of living is knowing whether he's human or not choose to abandon being human?"

    Summary

    "You're too short for your own good, you know. Someone's going to pick you up off the street one of these days and then who will I have to make fun of?"

    "Je vais t'étriper comme le maquereau visqueux que tu es," Chuuya hissed, grip tightening on his collar as he yanked them closer. Like this, Dazai could smell the jasmine of his shampoo and see the anger swimming in his eyes. [“I'm gonna gut you like the slimy mackerel you are.”]

    "Oh, Chuuya," he sighed, grinning like a fool. "I love it when you talk dirty to me."

    Or, Dazai is convinced (forced) to join his friends for a year in Paris, and he doesn't know a word of French. Chuuya is just hoping to get through school without any strange encounters, and he doesn't know a word of Japanese. They collide (literally) and the situation devolves from there. They figure it out.

    Beautiful artwork here!

    Summary

    It takes a single glance for Dazai’s interest to spark somewhere deep in his chest. It takes a single look and a single name for him to feel how fresh the air in his lungs can feel.

    It takes one kick to have him falling.
    And Dazai falls hard.

    OR: ‘we don’t have enough Chuuya being a tease out there and we need to change that’ the fic, but make it pirates
