My Wittle Babey

Aftercare {Shin Soukoku}

“Plehehehease! Ryuu! I cahahan’t— I can’t take anymohohore!” Atsushi wheezed as Akutagawa tickled him relentlessly. Akutagawa raised an eyebrow, but then noted just how exhausted Atsushi was. His face was flushed pink and his eyes looked teary. He couldn’t always handle being tickled for this long, and Akutagawa knew he had definitely had more than enough.

Akutagawa pulled back from his hips and sat awkwardly, unsure of where to place his hands. He finally settled for rubbing Atsushi’s head gently. Atsushi was still giggling, but he leaned into Akutagawa’s touch anyway, smiling.

“Do you need anything?” Akutagawa asked, suddenly worried. He hadn’t meant to tickle Atsushi for as long as he did, he just got carried away sometimes listening to his laugh and watching his reactions. Atsushi shook his head, letting his head fall back into the couch pillow. Akutagawa frowned.

Hc that atsushi's pupils dilate like a cats when he's happy or excited

Or when he's fighting his eyes narrow into little slits and he hisses

And when he's eating or looking at akutagawa his eyes get really big

i like when people give atsushi cat-like traits like purring or having sharper-than-average canines and i think we should take it a step further and just keep adding onto it. atsushi should chuff. he scratches on walls and his desk until there's obvious nail marks digging into the wood. he rubs against the others to mark them as his territory. there has to be a meeting held because he won't stop shedding and there's white hair everywhere so a good portion of the agency's budget goes into getting everyone lint rollers. he freaks people out at night because of his tapetum lucidum. and he does all of this subconsciously so if you tell him he does any of these things he'd be absolutely mortified

Hc that atsushi's pupils dilate like a cats when he's happy or excited

i like to think atsushi definitely still has cat-like behaviour when he’s in human form.

like someone’s being nice to him and he has the strong urge to rub his head against them lovingly. new people are like wtf atsushi but the rest of the agency is just like yeah he does that sometimes.

Nekomimi

(The Japanese art concept of giving human characters animal ears and tails is called kemonomimi! And did you know that tigers don’t purr, they chuff?)

“Stop laughing.”

“I’m not.”

“You are. It’s in your eyes.”

Ryuu looks away quickly, placing his hand over the lower half of his face. Atsushi sticks his lower lip out.

“Now you’re covering up a smile,” he mutters. Ryuu coughs once, happening a glance back to Atsushi before he quickly turns to face the wall again, closing his eyes.

“How dare you accuse me of such things, Jinko,” he says. Rolling his eyes, Atsushi leans across the futon to swipe Ryuu’s hand from his face. For a split second, he sees the smile on Ryuu’s lips, a rare sight that Atsushi would normally welcome. But in this case, he groans and draws back.

“C’mon, Ryuu, it’s not funny,” he mumbles, crossing his arms over his chest. Ryuu glances at him once before giving a cough that sounds oddly like a snicker.

“Your tail is lashing,” he points out monotonously. Atsushi bristles, an emotion that’s only further emphasized by the fur on his tail sticking out in all directions.

“Imagine if you got hit with that Ability,” he says, round ears pinning back against his head. “Rashoumon would practically have a mind of its own.”

Ryuu coughs again, leaning forward, and Atsushi doesn’t realize until it’s too late that he’s reaching for his ears.

“Yes, but,” Ryuu says, rubbing Atsushi’s velvety fur between his forefinger and thumb, “this is far cuter, I believe.”

Atsushi blushes, and though his fur settles, his tail continues to swipe back and forth. He isn’t sure how long he’ll be stuck like this, with his Ability on the fritz and his ears and tail manifested, but he hopes it ends soon. Asking for Dazai’s help is out of the question; Atsushi wouldn’t hear the end of it for weeks. Months.

“You’re patronizing me,” Atsushi grumbles, shoulders bunched and knees crisscrossed beneath him. But Ryuu takes his fingers from his ear, moving down to the space behind it, scratching there, and Atsushi’s tension seems to suddenly and miraculously leave his body. He relaxes under Ryuu’s touch, closing his eyes, turning into butter in his fingers.

Ryuu abruptly stops, and Atsushi looks up to ask what’s wrong, but Ryuu stares down at him with something bordering on playful in his eyes.

“What was that?” He asks. Atsushi tilts his head, subconsciously cat-like.

“What was what?”

“You made a sound.”

Atsushi frowns. “Did not.”

“You did. You chuffed,” Ryuu says, the tiniest of triumphant smiles on his lips. Atsushi narrows his eyes.

“I did not,” he says again. “I’m not so much of a tiger that I’d-!”

He stops the instant Ryuu begins to scratch beneath his chin. Atsushi closes his eyes again, leaning into Ryuu as if some other force were controlling his body, smiling and definitely chuffing.

“Good kitty,” Ryuu murmurs, kissing the crown of Atsushi’s head as he scratches his chin with both hands.

Atsushi’s tail gives the occasional, satisfied twitch.

It is I, Nyatsushi Anon, back again because the power of tiger kitty Atsushi is something I don't get to talk about. Anyways, now that I've said my bit on Tiger Atsushi, here's another Nyatsushi Concept- Imagine him grooming the people around him!!! Like, Kyōka rolls out of bed and he, without thinking, tries to "groom" her hair into neatness. Someone has a smudge of dirt on their cheek and he licks it off of them without noticing. Bonus points if he's got a rough tongue!!!

OWOWOWOWO HE GROOMSS!!! okay but kyouka would definitely suddenly start showing up with different hairstyles or naomi and yosani are like “yo how come ur hairs so neat drop the tutorial” and kyouka is like “atsushi. i dont know what he does” and atsushis just like :DDD so he becomes a makeshit hair salon for the Ladies . they love him

and ohoho!! lickin shit off. he wont think it’s a big deal but when dazai returns it and does the same to him he jerks back in shock and is like O-O cause he does N O T expect that (just like how cats dont expect it when u do the same mannerisms as them AGEJEHJSKDS)

New headcanon that Atsushi isn't actually a fan of his birthdays. Especially right after he leaves the orphanage. I feel like on his b-days there things would get extra bad. The only good thing is that the other kids would avoid him instead of joining in on the harassment from the staff, and even then they'd avoid him like the plague, giving him glances that screamed they were disgusted and scared of him. The staff would double down instead. Because of this Atsushi probably didn't mention his birthday to anyone, and was hesitant about it when any of the other ADA members asked. Ranpo ofc knew, and the first time Atsushis b-day passed Atsushi walked in to see a piece of candy from Ranpos stash on his desk. Now everyone knows when it is because of that, but the most they do is take a bit of the workload off of him (AKA get Dazai to do his own work, which he doesn't argue against aside from some complaining that day), and put something on his desk, because they know celebrations make him uncomfortable.

Head empty, one thought: Imagine Atsushi bunting, the thing cats do where they rub their jaws along things to essentially mark them with their own scent, the side of Akutagawa's face who just stands there a little shocked for a moment before Atsushi realizes what he's done and panics. Of course, he doesn't know why he does it and just does it on instinct

What do you think would happen if Atsushi tried catnip

Not a question I was expecting to get, but sure! Let's brainstorm.

It would definitely start with confusion—him being cautious when he gets a whiff of something interesting. He smells it before he sees it. But when he finally finds it, he takes it into his hand and sniffs it. Atsushi has no idea what it is, but it smells... interesting.

Then, of course, in a moment, it finally kicks in. He starts to feel relaxed, maybe even a little bit loopy. Meanwhile, Dazai, being who he is, takes full advantage of Atsushi’s state, messing with the younger. Kunikida is a bit concerned but doesn’t insert himself into whatever the heck is happening.

Soon after, the playful side kicks in. He could even start rolling around on the floor, acting more cat-like—on zoomies. He might try to steal Ranpo’s snacks. He better not run into Akutagawa, or he’ll get stabbed. He would definitely knock stuff over, and his ability might go a bit out of control—transforming parts of himself before it fades again. Naomi probably recorded all of this.

After that? Sleepy time. He might curl up somewhere in a sunspot, completely blissed out. Once he snaps out of it, he’s straight-up horrified. He’ll be begging for the videos to be deleted. He won’t be able to handle it.
