/Akutagawa x Reader x Dazai/
~
Throughout your life, you always found yourself surrounded by two millstones. Stones, either of which could topple unpredictably, bringing devastation. The fate of upcoming events always depended solely on your decisions.
Except...this was never truly about stones.

Salvation.
To you, that was him, Osamu Dazai. The man who saved you that night, and yet always left you hoping for more. More than you could ever receive from him, and instead, left you drowning in uncertainty he was giving you.
Loyalty was always foreign subject for him, and that was something not even your existence could fix. Independence and manipulation were the only words to define him.
While on one hand, he was everything you ever desired to have, on the other there was always him.
Akutagawa, your partner, who not even once questioned his loyalty to you, despite only arranged partnership between you two. Even with knowing the various feelings you had towards him, he just remained by your side, offering protection when needed.

While once so sure who your heart belongs, now doubts were haunting you, making you contemplate your every step, Dazai's sudden comeback and interest in you making it way harder for you.
However, things become even more complex when you realize that your heart suddenly feels the need to be closer to Akutagawa.
The question is simple.
Which of the millstones are you gonna let fall down and break?
Decision lies solely in your hands.
Dazai / reader | Your heart is lost; he had eaten it. Trapped in his web, your memories stretched thin against the cradle of his fingers; you are at his mercy. He had stitched you to his heart, carefully, burying you in your own echo...that echo being another echo...He says that it was for your own good; yet you still feel the stab of the needle, the knife cutting the thread loose, only to tighten you against his chest, becoming one.
At the end of the day, by a mirror, you would ask yourself: Who was I? Who am I? Eve or Adam: Eve from his brittle rib, or Adam for creating Dazai into the man he was now? But the person staring back wouldn't be you.
