Hiyoko Was Right All Along

the man ever

saw a post that made me think of them

-So close... (i love him)-

Thinking about what the Beast version of these current manga events would be.

And somehow it’s even more heartbreaking.

Because Beast Akutagawa has already gone through the pain of losing the people he cares about and blaming himself for it.

The Agency became his new home and now he’s losing them too.

Beast Kunikida, the man who hugged him close and told him he wasn’t evil. He smiles at him now as he fades away.

Beast Junichiro, the boy who came to his aid when he tried to walk a painful path alone. He tried to fight alone to spare him and is taken out with a pained smile.

Beast Kenji, the boy who took his hand showed him he was never alone. His hand is still in Beast Akutugawa’s grasp.

The President apologises but it’s Beast Akutugawa who should be sorry.

Its all his fault.

He’s a jinx. He’s a curse. He couldn’t save his friends then and he can’t save them now. He drops to his knees as the divine being floats closer.

Beast Akutagawa doesn’t fear death. But he’s terrified of being alone in this wretched world. His sister wants nothing to do with him, if shes even still out there now.

But at least now, he can return to the new home he forged.

He closes his eyes and surrenders himself ti his fate. He’s sure the Man in Black is watching in amusement but he doesn’t care.

Oda…I’m sorry.

But before the blade can strike something stops it. Beast Akutagawa looks up stares in surprise at his apparent saviour.

Though he supposed it made sense that the day he let himself die, he’d come face to face with the Reaper.

Thinking about this has me crying—

So, in Beast, Akutagawa grew up in the streets, right? Realistically, how literate would he even be? In the manga, his report was really simple, and he did talk to Astsushi about getting paper and books, but suppose that he couldn't read.

I imagine him learning that Kunikida is a teacher, and although he was a math teacher, Akutagawa goes to him and asks if he could teach Akutagawa to read properly, fully complete and complicated sentences.

Obviously, Kunikida thinks it's a great idea and will help, but seeing how focused Akutagawa is about it, he asks, "What brought this on?"

And Akutagawa is quiet for a moment, before he looks down, saying softly, "Oda-san is writing a book."

god i love it when gay people are in evil toxic codependent love with each other

ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE IN WHICH AKUTAGAWA NEVER OPENED THE ENVELOPE TO SEE GIN'S PICTURE SO ATSUSHI AND HIM ACTUALLY BECAME FRIENDS. AND/OR THE ENVOLVE DIDN'T HAVE GIN'S PICTURE AT ALL.

HE DOESN'T KNOW ATSUSHI IS THE WHOTE REAPER BUT KNOWS OF THE WHITE REAPER.

ATSUSHI STARTS TO WEAR MASKS JUST TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE IS A MAFIASO.

BAMB! ONE WAY SECRET IDENTITY BEAST SSKK!

That's actually such an insane idea and I need it NOW. It would never happen, because Dazai is a bitch and he won't let me have anything, ever, but suppose he's not in such a goddamn hurry to die, okay?

Atsushi meets Akutagawa and is instantly so taken in by this detective who is able to understand him so well. Akutagawa has no idea Atsushi is a mafioso– suddenly the White Reaper starts hiding his face. Atsushi shows up at the café at random times, hoping to run into Akutagawa again- and he does! He gets to go on dates with the detective, gets to learn more about him and the people at the Agency that he cares about. Tentatively, Atsushi also opens up, tells him about Kyouka.

Then Atsushi learns about Gin, about how much he wants to find his sister, and he thinks "It can't possibly be the same Gin, right?" He's hoping it's not. He's really, really hoping it's not Gin-san, because there's one rule Atsushi should never ever break, and that's to eliminate anyone who inquires about Gin.

The last time he disobeyed Dazai-san's orders...didn't go well.

But Atsushi looks at Akutagawa, at his serene face and dark eyes and small smile when he's really content and thinks, "Just this one thing. Let me keep this one thing."

I don't know how to explain it, but I love it when Korekiyo is drawn like a lil' insect.

Like a lil' critter.

your edits are okay but you are so fucking annoying
