I Like The Idea That Despite Their Obvious Color Palettes Atsushi Is More Into Dark Stuff While Akutagawa

Akutagawa having to watch Atsushi get struck down, not only after coming back to life and finally getting his memories back, but after months of fighting against and alongside Atsushi and coming to see him as near indestructible and someone who bounces back as “an even more problematic foe” only for Atsushi to sacrifice himself and take for all Akutagawa knows is a permanent killing blow

Concept: If Yosano was Atsushi’s mentor.

-In the infirmary-

Atsushi: Really Dr Yosano, I’ll be fine. I’m just escorting Ranpo to his case and we both know I won’t be long.

Yosano: I know but I can’t help but worry. I take one eye off you and trouble seems to find you.

Atsushi, quietly: I’m sorry for worrying you.

Yosano, frowns: Don’t be. You know, it’s the job of every doctor to worry about the people that have been entrusted with her to care for.

She smiles.

Yosano: I worry about you because I care.

Atsushi, smiles: I know, I’ll try not to find trouble.

Yosano: See you’re already doing a better job that Ranpo.

Ranpo, from the office: Heard that!

Yosano, calls back: You were supposed too!

Atsushi chuckles at their antics but stops when he sees Yosano’s expression become more serious.

Yosano: But if anyone gives you trouble or makes you feel afraid. Take those lovely tiger teeth of yours and go for their throat.

Atsushi: The throat?!

Yosano: Mhm mmhm and don’t let go until their body stops moving.

Atsushi, sweat drops:…I don’t think I’ll do that but I’ll keep it in mind.

Yosano, chuckles: Well if you can’t you have my number so just give me a call.

She smirks dangerously.

Yosano: And I’ll take care of them.

Found this on Pinterest, but count this screenshot as a reblog

Anyways... what?

atsushi with more cat/tiger behaviors but some lesser discussed ones:

he scratches all the doorways of the agency building and his dorm. kunikida scolds him for damaging property for over an hour but while he apologizes he’s strangely uncontrite (at least for atsushi who tends to overapologize) about it

/

a mostly nocturnal sleep schedule feels the most natural to him but since his orphanage’s schedule was (quite literally) beaten into him, he regularly wakes up early, though after a long mission or multiple in a row, he tends to sleep through the day instead.

/

when really frustrated (usually during an argument with akutagawa) he has a tendency to stomp his feet. it tends to break the tension, and atsushi finds its super embarrassing. akutagawa finds it cute

/

he’s constantly fighting the urge to sit on his coworkers desks while they’re working and distract them. same with knocking things off their desks.

/

head bunting!!!! he first starts doing it to kyouka after the end of the guild plot. just does it to her one morning while they’re cooking breakfast without realizing. he’s mortified for a moment until kyouka does it back, equally shy yet earnest about it. slowly he catches himself doing it to the rest of the agency: when kenji gives him a hug after a mission, when yosano buys him something he was looking at during a shopping trip, while sharing lunch with the tanizakis, to ranpo after atsushi solves his first mystery on own, to kunikida and dazai after a dangerous mission. he hasn’t worked himself up to doing it to the president yet (and fukuzawas kind of sad about it). dazai and kunikida are the most flustered by it, kenji and kyouka do it back to him the most.

/

as much as he hates being locked up or confined against his will (and he really hates it), he genuinely loves being in small spaces. he sleeps in the closest for kyoukas privacy but he does geniunely feel comfortable there. sometimes he eats lunch under his desk or in the supply room if he’s feeling stressed. dazai did give him a giant box once to see if he’d sit in it and he totally did.

/

he tends to suck on the corners of blankets and things like his shirts or sweaters when he’s asleep or distracted. dazai used to tease him for it until he read that it was often found cats taken to soon from their mothers. he didn’t really find it funny after that

/

he will just Stare at people. agency members look up from their work and will see him looking directly at them. he usually snaps out of it right after and apologizes but just like slow blinks and winks and closing his eyes, he starts doing it more and more as he gets in tune with his ability.

i feel like atsushi would have had many moments like this as a new recruit,,

my new favorite hermitcraft chat message

Can't actually believe sskk went from swearing to each other one of them would have killed the other in six months and then they both proceeded to die for the other before the six months even passed. No one does it like them
