Nanami Kento
Nanami isn't much of a dancer, at least, he doesn't think he is, yet the way you sway in his arms feels natural enough for him to question whether he had some hidden dance talents that only recently resurfaced.
After a long day of work all Nanami wanted was to relax and unwind, leaving his work out the door to instead focus on mundane homely things, and most importantly, you.
However, his plan was short-lived and thrown out the window the second he crossed the threshold to spot you slow dancing in the middle of the living room.
"Ken! Come on, join me!"
He was exhausted.
After a day of balancing being a jujutsu sorcerer and somehow getting through his regular nine to five, all Kento wanted to do was fall asleep with your fingers in his hair.
But how could he ever deny you with that silly spring in your step and smile across your face?
Before long he found his arms wrapping around your waist while yours hung loosely around his neck.
His feet joined yours in an awkward shuffle of sorts, one that had the two of you clumsily bumping into each other until Kento finally decided to pull you flush against him.
As the song playing on your phone began to come to a stop so did the two of you, yet Nanami found himself remaining in the same spot for a moment or two, with his hands desperately clinging to you as yours soothed his back and ran through his hair.
Nanami had never had something like this. He had never had someone to love so purely, someone to cling to and dance with, had never allowed himself to feel this way outside of you.
But that wasn't the best part.
The best part was that he didn't have to tell you any of that for you to know, for the way your hands moulded against each other said enough.
Dazai Osamu
The wind on the rooftop pushed against the two of you harshly.
It was almost like a warning, one that told stories of how dangerous it was for two forces that were so unlike the other to collide so seamlessly.
One that you chose to avoid as the two of you trudged further through the rooftop, only coming to a stop once you were before the ledge.
The city of Yokohama was your witness as Dazai tugged on your arm, with his hand falling to your waist while the other moved to clutch your palm and lead you in a waltz of sorts.
As his touch lingered on your skin you couldn't help but think of all the questions eating away at you, with most of them revolving around the man in your arms who had gone through yet another eventful day at work.
However, the thoughts left almost as fast as they had arrived, for they were replaced with the reassurance of having him by your side again.
Dazai's life wasn't normal, the two of you had more than established that before you jumped into your relationship, yet even with the constant threat of death looming over your shoulders, the two of you found that it was so much easier to let the world burn as you sought comfort in one another.
The wind on the rooftop was a force to be reckoned with, but with the two of you holding each other so tight, the howling winds felt like a mere caress, one that only lulled the two of you deeper into your love-filled daze.
William Vengeance
He was gone again.
You had never quite understood William's aversion to public gatherings, you could of course see why he felt the need to hide away given his physical afflictions, yet you had never thought of that as anything but another part of him.
A part that he chose to hide away.
Even today, after a successful yet strenuous mission, William found himself hiding away from the other attendees of the celebratory ball, a celebration that was mainly for him.
Others would have found his behaviour conflicting and moved on, yet as you travelled through the palace and came to a stop before the balcony at the end of the party hall, you found yourself pressing forward.
"William!"
The man in question was quick to spin on his heels at the sound of his name, but the tension in his shoulders ebbed away the second he realised it was you who had called out to him.
"Why aren't you back at the party?"
"I didn't feel like staying without you."
He still had his mask on, but you knew William well enough to be able to practically see the way he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he completely turned towards you.
"Oh. I apologise if my absence caused you discomfort."
You couldn't help but smile at the way he so readily set the blame on himself, yet chose to avoid bringing it up as you spoke.
"It's fine-"
your hand reached out to grasp his, leading him away from the bannister and allowing your other hand to drop to his shoulder.
"-I would rather dance with you anyways."
Suddenly, the faint sound of music coming from the ballroom seemed far louder than it was before, allowing the two of you to begin a slow waltz of sorts, one that made the rest of the world fade away as you got lost in each other.
