Chuuya Nakahara from the Bungo Stray Dogs 10th Anniversary Collaborative Fan Art Series
After everything that happened in Meursault and Yokohama, before they could finally go home and their paths split apart once more—Dazai would have to lie low with Sigma for a while—Chuuya lingered in the bathroom doorway.
They were hiding out in a rundown motel, waiting for Mafia to send reinforcements.
Dazai glanced up from a ridiculous book he'd found lying around and arched a brow.
"What is it?"
Chuuya hesitated. He scratched the back of his neck and looked away. His cheeks burned.
Something soft flickered across Dazai's face. Fondness, tinged with sorrow. With a long sigh, he tossed the book aside and motioned toward the bed.
"Come on, stupid slug. Spit it out."
"Cut my hair."
The smile froze, not because of the request itself. It was unusual now, but once it had been commonplace, back when they were partners in the Mafia.
No, it was the sadness dimming Chuuya's steady gaze that made something crack inside him.
Chuuya only cut his hair when he was mourning.
To remember.
To carry the weight of loss a little longer.
Dazai nodded.
His throat tightened around all the things he couldn't bring himself to say, all the words that remained lodged somewhere deep inside him regardless.
Chuuya crossed the room and sat down in front of him.
Close, but not close enough.
He wasn't that kid anymore—the one who used to sit between Dazai's knees in dingy apartment bathrooms, face streaked with tears, clutching a pair of cheap scissors.
Carefully, Dazai gathered his hair back. His fingers brushed the nape of Chuuya's neck.
Chuuya shivered. Or maybe Dazai did.
He couldn't see his face, he couldn't meet his eyes, but when the first lock of hair fell, Dazai felt the weight of Chuuya's grief settle somewhere beneath his ribs.
"You can't get mad if I butcher it," he said lightly.
The joke landed flat beneath the ache in his voice.
Chuuya scoffed.
"I'll cut your balls off if you do."
Some things, at least, never changed.
When they were done, Chuuya immediately started looking around for a mirror. Dazai hated that his broken leg kept him rooted where he sat.
He hated that he couldn't cross the room, he couldn't wrap his arms around Chuuya's waist.
He couldn't pull him close and hold him there.
"Chibi," he called, forcing a grin back onto his face, "you owe me a box of strawberry Pocky."
little soukoku comic i drew this morning
Sleepy
just got in one of the volumes of the dead apple manga, and there's some super nice choices going on with the paneling here. I only flipped through it, but the bit where Chuuya is talking to Ango about the Dragon's Head conflict while we're seeing scenes from what happened has some implications and symbolism I like a lot.
the fact that we're seeing these panels while Chuuya is talking about the conflict would suggest that they're based off of his memories of what happened, more than simply being an outsider pov of events as usual. there's a full page showing the destruction he caused, but no detail shots on it, which, to me, implies that it was all sort of a blur for him, just power and destruction.
but then we get this page:
that gentle touch from Dazai is so strong in his memory. there's so much detail here on the rage and drive to destroy, and then one soft touch causes it to fade, and Chuuya can let go and fall back.
the fact that Chuuya's eyes are hidden is a cool choice, too. this isn't really him we're seeing--or at least, it's only a feral part of him. he's lacking important facets of his humanity. there's no thought or understanding on display here, simply fury and gentleness juxtaposed.
and then THIS panel. this one is so nice:
Chuuya remembers Dazai being there for him, but the memory is distant, dreamlike. at the same time, the choice to have them sitting fully in that bright, white light shows the peace and clarity Dazai's nullification brought, in addition to Chuuya being whole once again, humanized. it's a really lovely shot composition.
Gravity’s Gentleness…
Wooly Sunflowers (Eriophyllum lanatum) symbolize “Gentle Strength”
source: Flowerpaedia by Cheralyn Darcey
This is heavily inspired by Story and Nawy’s (i’m too shy to tag them ><;;) ramble about Chuuya knowing (or not) how to be gentle… please read it! It’s so rich of brainworms and vitamin C(huuya)!!
does he know how to keep his mouth shut?
You and me
(Continued under the cut!!! ↓ ↓ ↓)
I am a sucker for the “Dazai takes his bandages off and Chuuya gets all flustered” trope and I couldn’t help myself. Also! First time writing dialogue for these two. I’m quite pleased with how this all came out C:
The thing about fake relationships is that they aren’t meant to last forever.

Most of this one is under the cut because it got LONG
I’m just picturing Ranpo trying to cheer Dazai up (and missing the mark by a mile) by being like “at least he’s just as stupid as you are!” or something like that idk. Maybe trying to tell him “it’s okay, Chuuya still has no idea how you feel about him! None whatsoever! The possibility isn’t even on his radar!”
Alskdjfjf I love these, thank you anon — and uh, this kinda sent me off in A Direction while I was mulling it over, but it’s still sorta the same vibe —
(There will, as you can probably tell, be another part of this!)

Chuuya making Dazai cry in the last comic broke my heart, I know it’s only a few tears but jeez that had to hurt
He’ll be alright, he’s just experiencing equal measures of reluctant heartbreak and crippling embarrassment (he ran all the way back to the ADA and has been dividing his time between sulking on the couch and thudding his head on his own desk ever since)(it’s okay, the other detectives are attempting to cheer him up in their own special ways :D)
