I don't know if anyone talked about it yet but
This randomly popped into my head
Tbh i would also smile dying knowing that the one to kill me would be my friend
the absolute ADMIRATION with which fukuchi looks at fukuzawa?????? dear lord. HIS EYES. AND FUKUZAWA'S. THEY ARE SOOO LIGHT I'M GONNA PUKE THESE TWO ARE TOO MUCH. fukuchi's literally smiling knowing he's gonna get killed in a second at hands of his oldest friend.
Who should be laying next to catzai?👀
hc that Dazai made a point of calling Chuuya small when they met because Dazai was used to being the small one.
like, finally there was someone shorter than him. because let’s be real, Dazai was barely taller than Chuuya in Fifteen.
i think people forget how small Dazai was too— not just in height, but also in weight. He was underweight in Dark Era, but in Fifteen & even at present he's barely within the healthy weight range for his height. he was constantly described as a twig in Fifteen, and almost every time he's introduced in the light novels he's called lanky, slender, etc.
14.02(valentines day)
Edgar had already finished his classes for the day. He was now going back there to pick up Ranpo and do random stuff since there wasn't any plan for it. The young writer arrived at the school and waited for the other to finish last class.
After standing there for a bit he saw his shorter friend leaving through the door. Edgar waved and Ranpo responded with same.
-Hey ed!
-Hello Ranpo
-Where are we going? I'm hungry.
-Maybe we can go to the store behind school. I wanted to buy some flowers too.
-Alright, let's go!
They left through the gate and made their way to the shop. After few minutes of walking and talking they arrived at the store. They entered and imidietly saw the flower stand and walked over to it.
-Ranpo look, they have my favorite flowers- Edgar said as he pointed at a bouquet yellow tulips.
-Oh cool! But why did you wanted to buy flowers anyway?
-oh! I wanted to put them on the living and give them to my mom.
-Mhm. Let's go get food now.
They strolled into an aile with baked goods and started looking around.
-Hey ed! How about we get some donuts? Look at the pink ones, they have heart sprinkles on top! Let's get those.
-Okay let me get a bag- He walked away for a few seconds and came back with a paper bag- How many are we taking?
-hmm... 4! 2 for you and 2 for me. I just need to count if I have enough money.
-I can pay for them. Dont worry.
-Realy? Thank youu- Ranpo smiled widely
They took donuts and flowers and made their way to the cashier. After paying they left the shop.
-Where are we going now?-Ranpo asked
-We can go sit at the rocks over there.
-Good idea:)
They sat on the rocks. Edgar put the flowers on the ground next to their bags. Ranpo handed Edgar one of the donuts and started eating his own.
-Mhm! They're realy good.
-I know I tried them before- Ranpo said.
Ed looked at the flowers.
-hm. I have an idea.
He tried grabbing the bouquet without getting up and after some struggling he made it. He pulled out on of the tulips and handed it to the other male.
-There you go. For you- Ed said with a smile.
-Thank you- He took the flower from his hand.
-How about we take some photos? We can share them in the group chat later.
-Sure.
-Oh no, my phone died.
-We can use my phone- He gave Poe his phone.
-Alright
They posed for the pic with donuts and flowers. Ranpo tried to cover his face with his hair but failed while Ed's face for once was visible.
-I look like on crack- Edgar commented after seeing his face in the photo. Ranpo took his phone back to send the pictures.
-Are we still sending them on the chat?
-Yep-Ranpo quickly opened the chat- What are we typing?
-Maybe something like ' Platonic date with..' and then you'll tag me?
-Mhm- Ranpo wrote it down- Is it correct?
-Yep.
-Okay.
Few minutes later one person replied_the others were propably busy_
>Omg, You both look so pretty. (to reader: pick any character)
<Thank you♡.-They both replied from Ranpo's account.
Ran already finished second donut and have the bag with the last one to Poe
-Thanks, I'll finish it later.
-Yeah, let's go now. Its cold.
They gathered their stuff making sure they hadn't left any litter behind.
-Do you have everything?... Let's go- Edgar turned to start walking but left a tug on his sleve he looked into the dirention of his 'friend' he felt lips press again his cheek.
-Thank you for donuts and flower and the whole time.
-Y-you're welcome- Edgar said with a slitly red face.-L-let's go now.
They spent the rest of their way home on talking about anything
-Do you want to walk me home?-Ranpo asked when they walked up to the place they would've parted ways.
-Sure. Lead the way.
Few minutes of walking they were at Ranpo's door step as always there were cats around and Ran imidietly went to pet them.
-Alright. I'll be going. I have some stuff to do.
-Okay! Bye bye.
-Bye, I'll try not to get lost-Ed said as he vanished behind the corner. (he isn't in that part of the city often)
His way home was calm he listened to some music on headphones and finished his donut. He got home safely and after that day had more outings like that and made the rocks their official meeting spot.
The end
Fic also on ao3: carrotwall
the odysseus curse
dazai having an off day and being quieter than usual when suddenly one of kunikidas pens rolls across the desks and bumps into dazai’s hand and transforms into a piece of paper that’s been folded into a heart
there is something so special to me about fics where dazai is healing. where he's using a mobility aid instead of forcing himself to suffer the pain. where he's taking antidepressants. where he's limiting his drinking or not drinking at all. where he finds alternatives to self-destructive behaviors and tries to choose those instead. where he may relapse, but he has friends to help him now, and he lets them in. where he's not perfect, but he's trying. because he's never going to be perfect, and maybe he's never even going to "fully recover" but he's getting better, and at the end of the day, that's what really matters. no one expects him to be perfect; they're all happy to see him take even the smallest steps forwards
