atsushi nakajima doesn't know what various physical signs of affections mean -- he grew up with none afterall
the first time kenji hugs him, he asks why he's squeezing him
he's a quick study tho, so he's able to hug kyouka after realizing she's not dead
but he gets shy about asking questions, doesnt even know what questions to ask, so he just does his best
for example
kunikida, ruffling atsushi's hair: thanks brat
atsushi, not knowing why he's messing up his hair: ????
*later*
kunikida: thanks kid
*hair ruffle*
atsushi, lightbulb moment: :O
so...
fukuzawa: your report was well done, atsushi
atsushi: thank you!!
atsushi, remembering kunikida:
atsushi, shuffling forward, and shyly ruffling fukuzawa's hair:
fukuzawa:
atsushi:
fukuzawa:
atsushi, proud for doing it right: okay bye then :)
fukuzawa, half confused, half touched:
/
atsushi, noticing two strangers holding hands:
atsushi: why r u guys doing that
strangers: uh we're partners?
atsushi: is that what partners do?
strangers: uh yes???
atsushi: huh
*later*
akutagawa: hurry jinko i do not have time---
atsushi, reaching out and holding akutagawa's hand:
akutagawa:
akutagawa:
atsushi, to himself: oh my god, has he been a bitch becuz i didn't realize work partners had to hold hands????
/
atsushi, nervous:
junichiro, giving him a comforting shoulder squeeze:
atsushi: ohhh i get it
junichiro: ???
*later*
poe, his usual shy anxious self:
atsushi, going over and squeezing his shoulder:
poe, red, more anxious, flabbergasted:
atsushi, who did it and then just left:
karl:
poe:
/
dazai, patting atsushi on the back: good job atsushi!!
atsushi: ????????
*later*
yosano, covered in blood and guts, after saving civilians:
atsushi, materializing randomly, patting yosano's back, awkwardly: good job yosano!!! you're amazing like always!!!!
yosano, touched and amused: thank you atsushi
/
dazai: atsushi i got you this
atsushi, confident after his encounter with fukuzawa, reaching up and ruffling dazai's hair: thank you !!!!
dazai: af;lksdjf;las????

and so on and so forth
I’m so obsessed with the idea of the ADA and the PM having beef, but only on the clock. On weekends they’re fine, they’ll give a subtle nod in recognition or maybe the younger members will engage in casual conversation, but Monday morning at 8 am? The black lizard is pulling up out front baby you already know
I brainrotted and I got more coming
is this even funny i dont think its funny im not putting it in the tags
Do you have any beast sskk hcs?
weekly movie theater dates
r more likely to bottle up issues w/ each other than mainuniverse sskk (until they work on it) when they start dating (as in less likely to admit the other person said something hurtful)
in true sskk fashion, atsushi is more like himself with aku than anyone else -- in this case more gentle
coffee dates
aku helps atsushi gradually live w/o his collar
the tiger is less friendly in general but super friendly with akutagawa
rashomon is also very gentle w/ atsushi
at some point atsushi just gets up and leaves yokohama (and the orphanage) and everyone he knows to deal with Everything and the only person who knows where he is is aku (and ranpo)
beast!atsushi is generally more soft spoken and calm than main universe atsushi and will go forever just not talking --- so sskk will be together and neither of them will talk
sskk date nights where they just do their own thing w/o acknowledging the other person
they dont move into atsushi's apartment, they get one together where there's room for atsushi to plant a garden (theres a fic about beast atsushi liking plants that is True to me)
akutagawa hates dazai but he never comments on the few things atsushi keeps as a reminder of him and always goes with him to visit his grave on the anniversary of his death
atsushi has a house husband moment during his self discovery phase
Just saw a comment that said in that moment Akutugawa realised someone thought he deserved to live.
I’m done.
No because… because Akutugawa like Atsushi has always wanted that kind of approval.
And Atsushi may not have died but even he knew it was all a hunch at that point when he pushed Akutugawa aside.
He saved him.
Used his own words against him because back on the boat Akutugawa decided that Atsushi deserved to live.
And now Atsushi’s decided he should too.
What if instead of fighting over shin soukoku and atsulucy we found a third secret option?
i like the idea that despite their obvious color palettes atsushi is more into dark stuff while akutagawa prefers lighter ones. atsushi drinks black coffee while akutagawa likes lattes. atsushi listens to metal while akutagawa likes classic music. atsushi is maybe a thriller fan while akutagawa has comfort shows. it's just something i think about
fuck EVERYTHING i’m writing transfem Atsushi. Byakko is Atsushi and Atsushi is Byakko. Byakko is female. OH WOULD U LOOK AT THAT!!!
Also wouldn’t it be cool if like… Byakko was able to change Atsushis gender bcz Byakko is biologically female and Atsushi is biologically male??? What if Atsushi was more powerful in this female form and then realised holy crap this feels so right. Asks around and oh!?!? people ARENT meant to feel weird in their bodies??? oh! hmmm why do i feel more comfortable in this female body??? HMMMMMMMM
Ps: DO NOT COMMENT/REPOST THIS SAYING ‘ohhh that’s cool op but transmale atsushi’ THATS NOT WHAT THIS IS ABT!!!
mizu5? 🤨 what? mizuena is on a date right now
i have maybe the worst type of cuteness aggression about fiction characters that im attracted to
