[ Of nightmares and broken screams // @deathlydebauchery ]
... I’m not going to fall asleep at this rate.
It’s pretty clear by now that staring at the ceiling for hours on end isn’t going to help him. It has already been two hours since he snuggled into his futon ( kittens at his side, of course ) and so far little to no luck getting closer to falling asleep.
So what better way to fix that than visit Dazai? He must surely still be up and if he’s not then Atsushi is just going to make himself comfortable in one corner of the room on the small futon he has rolled up and stored in one of the bags stuffed in his wardrobe. Won’t be the first ( and certainly not the last ) time this happens.
Not wasting anymore time, the younger pushes himself up from the futon. He’s careful to not wake up Oreo and Tomo ( at least they are lucky enough to have fallen asleep ) then he grabs a pair of comfortable jeans and a shirt before changing into them. As much as he hates falling asleep in day clothes, at the same time he doesn’t really fancy walking down the streets in pyjamas.
Once he is done changing clothes and has grabbed the bag with the futon from its place, the teen grabs his keys and puts his shoes on before leaving the small apartment. He really doesn’t fancy walking all the way to the brunet’s place, but at the same time it’s a must if he wants to get even a little bit of sleep. Calling the older detective is out of question in case he’s sleeping. He really doesn’t want to bother the other more than he’s already.
And down Yokohama’s cold and empty streets he goes. Of course that at such a late hour of the night not many ( if any ) are out and about. In a sense, he likes this. He likes the peace and quiet, but at the same time he likes the business and liveliness of the city as well.
Deep in thoughts as he is, he doesn’t notice how fast he’s arrived at his destination until he nearly accidentally walks into the door. Ah, he’s made this trip enough times to not need to be focused on it anymore and still get there safe and sound.
Not sure if that’s something to be proud of or not.
( Most likely not considering the circumstances. )
The key slides inside the lock effortlessly, turns once then a second time before it clicks softly and grants him access inside. The darkness that greets his eyes signal to him that Dazai is indeed sleep so he should--
“Atsushi-kun...”
It’s a faint whisper barely audible even with his sharper senses. Is that his name being called out? Did the brunet hear him? Hopefully Atsushi didn’t wake him up when he opened the door.
“Atsushi-kun!!”
No, there it is again; louder and clearer now. It’s definitely coming from the older detective. But why does it sound so... anguished? Soul tearing? It is as if the other is in great pain.
Light footsteps carry him closer to where he knows Dazai usually sleeps. Just in time to jump back startled when the aforementioned man suddenly jolts up. The teen can see the way the other’s frame is shaking, the hungriness with which he swallows breaths of air.
A nightmare.
“Dazai-san...” He only speaks when he’s addressed, not wanting to scare Dazai even more although he does step closer. All caution is thrown to the window with such movements. “I just got here.”
‘a moment of weakness’ //I have access to tumblr for the day so why not? :3c
Send ‘a moment of weakness’ and the generated outcome will be used for a small drabble scenario or starter. { tw violence, possible noncon/dubcon implications, nsfw }29. Your muse has blackmail over mine.
So this is what it comes to? Is this really the course of action that everything has taken?
“You can’t be serious.”
Words merely muttered in frozen shock. Atsushi knows what Dazai is capable of, knows the lengths he will go to in order to get what he wants, but this is taking it too far. This is almost like an obsession, sugarcoated at first and now exposed.
“You went and dug all that up and for what?”
Most of it is already known as all three organisations ( the ADA, Port Mafia and The Guild ) did their own research on the teen’s background. So why did the brunet think that any of that would be useful when the majority of it is already known?
“You said that you won’t kill me, which would have been more efficient, but then you go and do this?”
He’s at a complete loss, words escaping him. What is he supposed to do now?
Send me a ☮ for a headcanon about our muses’ friendship [ how about something nice to balance out the pain? :3c ]

[ It’s not common, but every now and then ( especially when he sleeps very little or not at all ) Atsushi can be found either slouched at his desk, head atop his crossed arms or curled up on the sofa and w/ Oreo comfortably tucked under his chin. Every time this happens, Dazai ends up putting his coat over him as a blanket and ruffles his hair.
If Dazai was already on the sofa then Atsushi has no problems in sitting down and putting his head on the other’s lap so the brunet can card his fingers through snowy locks.
Poor kid looks ( and acts ) like a zombie so nobody complains whenever they find him napping. After all, he does his part of the work. ]
Send me ‘Kiss’ and my muse will kiss yours somewhere according to their feelings for your muse!
There’s an almost visible hesitance in his movement. Despite not feeling as scared as he was a week or so ago, Atsushi still can’t help, but be a bit wary of Dazai.
He has to stand on his tiptoes to be able to reach the brunet’s face and place the first kiss on his eyelids. Scarred hands hold lightly on the older detective’s shoulders as he leans down to press his lips to his cheek next before letting go.
Gently, he grabs the other’s hand in his own, running nimble fingers over the fair skin before bringing it up to his lips for the last two kisses; fingertips and nails.
Kiss on the eyelids: You make me sad/UpsetKiss on the cheek: FriendshipKiss on the fingertips: I care about youKiss on the nails: You've hurt me
☼ If they had the choice to be immortal with one other person, who would they choose?
Horrific Headcanons
[ Oh man, that would be hard to choose, but I can narrow it down to the following two: Akutagawa and Kurashi.
Akutagawa bc they’ve grown close. They’ve been through hell and back, learnt to deal w/ one another and actually like each other for some odd reason neither can explain. It would be hard to watch somebody he loves so dearly grow old and die.
Kurashi bc he’s the first person to truly feel like family. They’ve got similar childhoods which brought them closer. He feels like a big brother to Atsu so, again, watching him grow old and die is going to hurt a great deal.
I would have added Dazai as well, but I don’t think Atsushi would be as cruel as making a suicidal maniac immortal. That’s just not how he is. ]
Send a 👫 and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muses' relationship.
[ 1. Atsu has the habit of randomly grabbing on Dazai's coat's sleeve as to keep him from wandering off2. sometimes Atsu sends Oreo over to Dazai to bring him food or water3. whenever Oreo disappears from Atsu's bag he's usually sleeping w/ Dazai, Atsu doesn't have the heart to wake them up since Dazai actually looks peaceful for once4. Dazai spoils both Oreo and Atsu w/ cat toys ]
✈: where my muse would go if they could move anywhere
Muse headcanons
[ Tbh I don’t think he’d leave Yokohama. Despite everything that has happened this is where he has met everybody. It has become his hometown after countless adventures. If he were able to move anywhere I think he’d just buy a better house, but that’s about it. ]
