Concept: Atsushi With Looser Morals.

Concept: Atsushi with looser morals.

Atsushi was raised in an environment where the kind die first. A place where he was taught the only person you can trust is yourself.

Atsushi learned how to survive a point system that never rewarded him. He would do other kids chores, take their punishments in exchange for food.

He was raised in hell and it meant that he learned to survive by any means necessary.

Atsushi stops Junichiro and passes his entrance exam because Dazai and Kunikida were kind to him. They gave him food, shelter and saved him when no one else ever has.

He doesn’t get involved until they’re put in danger. In his eyes he was paying them back for it and the job was completely unexpected.

Obviously Atsushi accepts because where else was he gonna go with no qualifications and an ability he can’t control.

He does pay Kunikida back for the 30 bowls of tea on rice even if the other says he doesn’t need too.

As if not paying his debts ever felt like an option to him.

Atsushi doesn’t think he’s a good person. He follows the law because the Agency (sometimes) does. He helps protect the city because the Agency does.

And working with the Agency gives him shelter and money so that he can eat and thus live.

Atsushi doesn’t think he belongs with them. He’s a coward and in the end he only really looks out for himself. In his eyes he’s not a good person.

Definitely not someone worth their kindness nor their belief and trust.

When the Port Mafia comes for his bounty he runs off without a second thought. He only comes back because Kunikida calls him to come help with the clean up.

Atsushi just silently sweeps up debris dodging the questions demanding to know where he was.

He doesn’t get why they don’t just sell him out. Sure they can clearly handle the Port Mafia but the bounty would be useful to them all.

It’s not like he’s worth keeping around. Certainly not for Dazai to let himself get kidnapped for.

He’s just another ungrateful mouth to feed as the Heasmaster would call him.

And he’s not wrong because Atsushis whole life has been spent trying to survive to his next day that actually being able to live his life feels weird to him.

He doesn’t really know how too. He had no dreams ot aspirations. He never thought he’d live long enough to escape the orphanage.

Maybe he should just hand himself over? Take the cash and dip while the others use his wage for something far more useful.

Maybe find someone worth keeping around.

But Atsushi doesn’t.

Because as times go on he starts to realise that not only does the Agency care about him. But that he cares for them too.

He likes watching Dazai and Kunikida bicker. He feels a sense of comfort when Yosano asks if he’s okay. When Ranpo tells him that he did a good job.

But the real kicker is when Atsushi meets Kyouka because all his instincts scream that he should run.

But he doesn’t.

Because Yosano is counting on him to protect the trains civilians. And he doesn’t want to let her down.

Kyouka Izumi is not a civilian.

Kyouka Izumi has a bomb strapped to her chest and has killed 35 people and will probably kill him too.

The Agency might be disappointed if he took her out but they’d understand.

But Atsushi has no reason to save her, for god’s sake he can’t even save himself how can he possibly help her?

So why does he look into her eyes and see himself. He sees a survivor, he sees someone who won’t fight him back because living was never an option for her.

Well who decides that?

Who decides whether or not if a person deserves to live or die? He didn’t think he deserved too and yet he was saved.

To live your whole life thinking such a thing…isn’t living at all. Atsushi wouldn’t wish such a thing even on his worst enemy.

“I don’t want to kill anyone else”

He moves without a second thought and the next thing he knows is he’s in the Agencies infirmary.

“Why did you bring her here?”

“I don’t know! Because you told me that we help people. And she…she needed help.”

He can barely understand it himself and yet the look Kunikida gives him is both exasperated and proud.

“So you finally admit it then. Hmm, I’ll speak to the President and we’ll go from there.”

“Admit what?”

“That you’re a member of the Armed Detective Agency. You’ve finally accepted that you’re one of us.”

Oh.

Oh he did, didn’t he?

And it felt right.

And so Atsushi makes himself a promise.

That if the Agency wants him to be kind then he’ll be kind. If the Agency wants him to fight then he’ll give it everything he’s got.

If the Agency wants him to sacrifice his life he’ll do so without question.

Because Atsushi doesn’t know how to live for himself so he’ll live for them.

And if they care for this city and all those within it then he’ll treasure it.

Orange Cat Atsushi

Aka Atsushi is part orange tiger instead of white and thus exhibits orange cat behaviours.

Atsushi will eat anything.

Literally anything, it doesn’t matter if it’s food or not. When he’s hungry Atsushi will just munch on whatever is in front of him.

It has led to many, many instances of Kunikida chasing him around the office and demanding he spit something out.

Dazai: Well that’s one report done, what about you Atsushi?

Atsushi: I’m almost done.

Dazai: That’s great I bet we’ll be done in no ti-….0-0?!!!!

At that moment Atsushi picked up his pen lid and put it in his mouth.

Dazai: Hey, why don’t we take a quick break hm? Maybe play a game.

Atsushi: 🤨

Dazai: You drop that pen lid and I’ll take you out for lunch.

Atsushi shakes his head.

Dazai: Really? Not even if it’s some some tea on rice.

Atsushi considers this and spits out the lid before looking at Dazai expectantly.

Dazai, relieved: Well lunch time it is

Kunikida: Dazai you can’t just-

Dazai: He’s eating the pens.

Kunikida:…We have a meeting in another hour, try not to be late.

Dazai: Got it, you coming Atsushi?

Atsushi: Carry me.

Dazai, chuckles: Oh Atsushi, the things I do for you.

Akutagawa saved Atsushi on the boat by using the shirt off his back to.

Not with the coat that Dazai gave him. The coat that has become the main conduit of his ability and marks the day they met.

It’s not with him now and in choosing to save Atsushi, he forfeits any chance of victory and thus ever gaining Dazai’s approval.

So what Akutagawa does is manipulate the shirt off his back instead. He uses something that truly belongs to him.

Its not a lot but in that moment it was all the power he had. And while it wasn’t enough to save himself it allowed him to get Atsushi to safety.

When Atsushi saved Akutagawa at the airport he did so by using his own strength.

And not the tigers.

Because while it was available to him unlike Akutagawa, Atsushi knew that it would’ve shielded him from the blade.

When he needed it to strike him.

And so Atsushi pushes Akutagawa away with all the strength he has. It is not enough to save them both but it’s enough for Atsushi to take his place.

Both of them are rendered in a situation where they are forced to rely on their own power. It’s not a perfectly executed plan of attack.

It’s a last desperate attempt with no other option to be found.

The I may be powerless right now but if I have the power to save you then that’s all the strength I need.

atsushi learns to take care of long hair via kyouka - he's watched her do her hair and has helped her do it enough that he's pretty okay with it now

one day, kunikida's hair just keeps on slipping out of his pony tail and atsushi, noticing his frustrations, offers to brush it and tie it for him

he enjoys doing kyouka's hair, dont get me wrong, but he thought it was just a kyouka only thing - after all how could atsushi not want to do things for kyouka who was like a sister and who deserved help or assistance in small things if she so asked - atsushi didn't realize how much he was doing it to show his own affection for her

he finds as he's brushing hair, that its just a way he's been showing kyouka he likes her and now w/ kunikida

anyway atsushi ends up braiding kuni's hair while he's working, and is buzzing with this newfound understanding of another way he can show affection

and with the comb tightly in his hand he asks if anyone else would like him to brush his hair, as nonchalantly as he can

naomi takes one look at his tail wagging, w/ atsushi unaware, and says yeah sure and lets him brush her hair and tie it up

she even tells him to brush juni's hair - which isn't long at all but its still fun

the next day yosano asks atsushi if he could tie up her hair and even ranpo lets him brush it back once

slowly atsushi works his way through everyone in the agency

other than dazai

atsushi offers his services to dazai too

but dazai always refuses - he jokes about atsushi only not doing his hair and when atsushi says he will, dazai gets weirdly quiet and changes the topic after a minute

anyway

atsushi does end up doing dazai's hair, not just brushing, but washing and drying and pushing it out of his face, but its on one of those weeks where dazai cant bring himself to even get out of bed and atsushi decides to take care of him instead

anyway thank you person who said atsushi wants to braid kunikida's hair i love u

//

also atsushi doing gin's hair and akutagawa walking in is a funny image in my head

gin atsushi friendship >>>>>>>>>>>>>

gin atsushi friendship while akutagawa doesn't even know his sisters besties w/ his crush enemy and walks in on them having spa days and talking shit about akutagawa

shit as in "dumbass doesn't even know im in love with him" "my brother doesn't even know he's in love with you he's a special type of stupid"

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
