[MAKING A REWORKED VERSION. CH. 3 OUT NOW.] "The roses I cough out are beautiful.. Don't you agree?" "It's sickening. Too bad their stained with blood." The dove had hanahaki. The raven didn't care.

Atsushi reached out to tap Dazai's shoulder- Ranpo winced. "Dazai-sa-" -but his hand never met Dazai's shoulder. One moment, Atsushi was about to touch his shoulder. The next, Dazai's hand shot out and gripped Atsushi's wrist hard- hard enough to bruise- while he used his other arm to pick himself up a bit from the couch. And perhaps it was just strange lighting or Atsushi's fear deceiving his eyes but he, even through his shock, fear, and stillness- ...could've sworn that Dazai's eyes had taken on a red hue. -or- Dazai walks into the agency and clearly isn't okay. Atsushi tries helping him which eventually leads to Dazai getting a panic attack bcus he accidently hurt him. ft: literally the entire ada but the Tanizaki siblings still aren't really there. Like, they're THERE, but just barely. Also Atsushi having tiger instincts ig?

Dazai has been having trouble in even living, he is depressed, he misses people, and even wants to die, but this isn't one of his shenanigans, this time it's serious.

After years of silent endurance under Mori's thumb, Dazai Osamu finally breaks. Wounded, overstimulated, and unable to speak, he shows up at Chuuya's door in the dead of night - not as a Mafia executive, but as a shattered boy who doesn't know how to ask for help. Chuuya, still tethered to him by something deeper than he'll admit, takes him in without question. What begins as a night of tending wounds slowly unravels into something far more fragile: trust. As Dazai recovers in secret, hidden from Mori's reach, the two rediscover each other in the quiet. Trauma leaves its mark - in broken speech, haunted silence, and the missing eye Dazai refuses to explain - but Chuuya refuses to let him fall back into darkness. Even when Dazai proposes marriage in the middle of a breakdown, even when grief and guilt threaten to drown them both, Chuuya stays. Together, they plan their escape - from the Mafia, from their past, from a city that never let them breathe. With Ango's help, they fake their deaths and disappear into a life neither of them believed they could ever deserve. A life with a home. A shared bed. A bath filled with lavender oil. A prosthetic eye that lets Dazai be seen without being dissected. And for the first time in years, they begin to learn what safety feels like. But healing is never easy. And love, no matter how deep, doesn't erase the scars overnight. This is a story of survival. Of choosing each other. Of saying stay and meaning it. And of two broken souls building something whole in the quiet. So what would happen if both joined the ada? And what would happen if Mori demands Dazai back after the prison arc?
