Dazatsu week, day 4: Kintsugi

Someday, someone is going to hold you so tight that all of your broken pieces will stick back together.

Posting yesterday’s prompt only now because I got a bit busy with work (today was a free day)! ;v; When I saw “kintsugi” as one of the prompt themes I had to jump in and choose it.  Addition of a little reference to married Dazatsu as well because I’m weak and this is my utmost soft spot! <3

I know Atsushi is an individual in an endless process of repairing his own broken pieces, but Dazai’s mind and heart’s darkness is unmatching; he lacks Atsushi’s hopeful and bright way of viewing life, so I choose to portray his mended wounds instead of our dear man-tiger’s, since I believe Atsushi’s presence in Dazai’s life finally made the great change of giving him what no one else could.

“Isn't there anyone to take my hand and cease existing together? I hold the feeling that an attempt isn't enough. Days darkening in the setting sun are endless. In a world like that, I found you. Suddenly, that hand pulls and stops the cuff of my reckless heart. I want to try living like this a little bit more. It's not like me to think so.”

DazAtsu Week 2019 Day5: Sleep

(Please, forgive any mistaken because English isn’t my original language, I am really in an hurry now and I haven’t checked well)

Dazai still remembered the concern on Tanizaki's face when, after solving the case of the man hit by a truck, the funeral of the owner of the orphanage, which Atsushi came, was held. "There isn’t! I can’t find him anywhere! Dazai-san, please, go look for Atsushi, I'm really worried about him." Dazai sighed before warning the phone in his vibrating pocket. Pulling it out he read the message without batting an eyelid, as opposed to Tanizaki who immediately asked him if it had been the boy himself to send it to him. The man closed his cell phone, smiling, then patted the other on the back of some encouragement pat. "Do not worry, I'll go and bring it back here, okay?" Before leaving time to Tanizaki to say a single word he had already moved away. The message took him to a remote area near the port of Yokohama where there were only abandoned warehouses and factories: during the day that place was a desolate and uninhabited industrial neighborhood, at night it became one of the territories in possession of the Port Mafia. As Atsushi had arrived there he could not know, he had only assumed that his subordinate had walked up there to clear his mind and then find a place to rest. In fact, he found Atsushi sitting on the ground asleep against a wall. His cheeks were still furrowed by tears as well his lashes still wet, but what attracted the attention of the detective was the hand of Atsushi, lying on the ground and open up, where the cellphone was deliberately rested. Dazai bent down to take it in his hand and turned on the display to read the same message he received just an hour before. "Come and get back that stupid of his subordinate before night." he quoted accompanied by a description of the position. The man smiled and then turned his attention to the boy who was still asleep and unaware of everything. "Being able to soften even Akutagawa, you're really amazing, Atsushi-kun." He murmured, stretching out his hand and gently messing up those soft silvery hair.

My husband joins in the party! Please check his original tweet right here!  ❤

Since he doesn’t have a Tumblr but wanted to take part in the Dazatsu week as well, I’m posting his drawing for him~ ´v` This pairing is really, really meaningful to the two of us, and basically the start of us as a couple when we choose to cosplay them together one day.

In his words to me when explaining the inspiration behind it (if you listen closely you can hear my flailing):

“I originally wanted to go for day 3′s prompt ‘cuddles’, I didn’t know if it fit into the theme though; I love hugging you from behind, but since you’re taller I can’t clasp my hands together very well - because I can’t reach - so we end up like this (laughing)"

Plus, more married Dazatsu goodness~ ´v` Please consider taking a look at his art as well, his works are really pretty and colorful! ❤

DazAtsu Week 2019 Day2: Trickster

Note of the Author: Again, English isn’t my nativity language, so, please, forgive any mistaken. 

This flashfiction take place after the “Mysterious Bandage Man Event” of the mobile game Bungou Mayoi. However, it also can be read as an original. 

Atsushi didn’t understand anything of what happened, he only had the impression that he was cheated.

"Then, I leave the rest of the work to you!"

He didn’t even have time to realize what  happened before, with that band of traffickers, and already his superior was hopping away. 

But he would not have run him so easily. 

With a snap of his arm, Atsushi grabbed one of the edges of his senpai's raincoat and stopped him before he could leave and leave him in the lurch.

"I don’t think I understood exactly what happened ..."

The answer was only a mocking look.

"Ah, Atsushi-kun, I already told you: you have to look at your superiors, and the way they handle cases, if you want to learn how to be an Agency detective."

"Yes, but ... then, all that going back and forth to the city to convince you to accept the task? If you was going to take care of it from the beginning, why you made fun of me like that?"

Dazai rubbed his forehead in search of the most appropriate answer. It wasn’t something he had planned, but he was equally stronger than him: after all, Atsushi's reactions, to his constant teasing, were the most adorable he had seen so far.

"Let's put it this way ..." With a rush he leaned over the face of the Agency's newcomer and touched the tip of his nose with his finger. "It was not my intention to push myself too far, but you're too easy to cheat and I could not resist."

With a leap back, the boy-tiger again posed an adequate distance of security between them, at least to mask the redness on his face generated by embarrassment and shame. Yes, he had really been cheated and in the most embarrassing way possible.

The older man nodded satisfied, straightening his torso.

"I leave the write of the report to you, ok?" He waved satisfied, putting his hands in his trouser pockets and walking away humming a weird little tune. 

All under the astonished gaze of Atsushi shaking his head.

"What a mysterious man."
