So we all know by now that Dazai is comfortable enough around Chuuya to show nervousness/worry.
Enough times for Chuuya to pick up on that pattern. The pattern, may I remind you, that doesn't have evident correlation to either nervousness or worry to most people. One that can even be interpreted as misplaced given the situation.
Which means that Dazai has done this in front of Chuuya so often, that Chuuya at first was hella confused, before he finally made a connection between when and why it happens. And still remembered that connection after four years of separation. Which gets us to my point:
What if he has multiple unconventional patterns he displays for sadness, frustration, content, or disgust? The times he really feels them, and they become too strong for him to just deal with normally? What if these are the only times he's actually being genuine with his emotions?
And Chuuya is the only one who is familiar with them all?
Dazai would be jumping rope and Chuuya would be like, "quit sulking, let's get icecream"
Dazai hanging upside down on the couch and Chuuya going, "It's okay, mackerel. You can cry."
Dazai actually crying, full on heart-wrenching sobs, and Chuuya unironically going, "What, good news?"
It's just... comforting, for one person in Dazai's life to read him like a book. Everyone else would look at him like he's crazy, displaying wrong emotions/behaviors at the wrong time, but Chuuya knows that it's just how he processes feeling properly, and thus he's the only one Dazai can count on to put things into context and understand, which makes him display them even more openly.
Because Chuuya never shamed him for his quirks, as much as Dazai never did his.

A Very Human Moment (Part 1)
if yāall ever want to see a part 2 this better do numbers
So is today's episode of "how can I make this about HuskerDust we have: a nervous tic Angel seems to have is rubbing his hands (generally the bottom ones) together to self-sooth. Like this:
Those nervous grippers look very kisseable, just sayin'.
Husk keeps Angel's favorite drink and his 'favorite drink' in stock. His favorite is a strawberry and creme mixed drink. The one he says is his favorite is some low calorie vodka, because Val is always making Angel count his calories.
Angel is absolutely amazed by Huskers magic tricks. Even when they're relatively simple. Especially when he's drunk or high and needs a distraction.
Husk said I love you first. Even if it was in hushed Russian after Angel fell asleep at the bar.
They both are very convinced the other won't like them.
Angel takes Husk rejecting his offers for sex as him not wanting him, because he thinks that's all anyone would want with him.
Husk thinks Angel is coming onto him as part of his job. Husk doesn't want to use him if this is just his job. Why would a famous porn star want a grumpy old cat like him?
Angel finally breaks down and asks why he can't pull the one guy he actually likes.
I love the parallels between these two pictures of the envelope, the envelope Angel gave him is visually pleasing, warm, and inviting. While the envelope Angel got back is drawn more clunky, jagged, ripped and darker tones were used. Iām also no expert on wax seals but it looks like husk carefully pealed off the wax shaped heart and kept it since it doesnāt appear attached to the envelope anymore which means Husk had to tape it to seal it again.
Anyway thanks to all of Angelās hard work the effort has finally payed off, he gathered the money to pay Husk back for what he thinks heās owed. Looks like his time spent at Valās wasnāt all for nothing, he was able to collect quite the pretty pennyāall of which he was willing to give to husk, in order for them to start talking again.
I assume Angelās bar tab was pretty high up there, for there to be so many bills he handed over. But surprisingly enough Husk refuses to exploit Angel and his money, he doesnāt want to take advantage of his obviously hard earned cash, so he takes $5 and leaves the rest at Angelās disposal.Ā
Husk made that huge ass fuss, ignored Angelās posts, banned him from the bar, all of that just to settle for merely five dollars. Iām screaming.
I think Angelās feelings might have been hurt, Husk could possibly have come off as a little ungrateful or rude in his eyes when refusing the money. āPfft aight then. Rest is going ta @SmellyRatManā¤ļøā aka: āFine be that way. Iāll just give it to Val.ā proceeding to go back to Valentino. From Angelās perspective he worked his ass off and went through all of that shit just to pay him back because it was HUSK that made a big deal out of it in the first place, and all he took was FIVE DOLLARS.
Tbh Iād be a lil heated if I were him too lol but I could be wrong.
Zero hearts for Husk for once??? what in theā
OH and look who else commented š heās run back into the arms of the damn rat and HE GETS TWO HEARTS ARE YOU KIDDINGMEANGELā
So yeah I donāt blame Angel if heās a bit upset right now. We all know why Husk didnāt take much money, itās because heās a softie, cares a shit ton and doesnāt take want to take advantage of Angelās already delicate situation.
But Angel doesnāt know why. He may believe Husk just doesnāt give a shit meaning Angel put in all that effort into getting the money for nothing.
So in the end Angel doesnāt seem alright. At all. This sort of reminds me of theĀ āMy boyfriend broke my heart so Iāll run to my ex for affectionā scenario.
Iām honestly worried about Angelās well-being, heās using again while staying with an abusive douche and it seems to just be getting worse. This canāt end well, but I believe if anyone were able to talk some sense into Angel, it would be Husk.Ā
I feel like Huskās opinion matters most to Angel, out of everybody in the hotel Iād say he is the closest chance on getting Angel back to the straight and narrow. Meanwhile Val is just constantly enabling him to do bad.
Angel would listen if it was Husk that told him to get the hell back to the hotel and keep him company, you know what I mean? But if it were anyone else, theyād get the middle finger just like Charlie did.
Well Iām just happy our boys are back to talking againā¦.ish? We were also robbed of seeing a cute little love letter hidden inside the envelope. Someone please draw this and tag me.
A pretty much self indulgent Husk Overlord AU where he gambled against Val, Husk wins and in exchange, he keeps his casino and Angel's contract is transferred to Husk ;) Oh yeah and they get RINGS!!!
Cowboy Husk!! š¤
