Headcanon: I Like To Think Adam Just Refuses To Swear Infront Of Chuuya.

Look at his face. Look at his sorrow

The absolute most solemn look I've seen on Akutagawa, where he realizes Atsushi wasn't just some beast he could kill. Atsushi wasn't just an obstacle or a test, because Atsushi is human

Akutagawa sees that in him

I have no idea how Asagiri is gonna handle the end of the six months deal, knowing him it's going to be what literally no one could've expected, but the premise really interests me now. It always did beforehand, but still, now we know more about how Akutagawa feels about Atsushi. And Akutagawa doesn't know it yet, but Atsushi witnessed his past and trauma. They're bonded, connected and understand each other on yet another level now

And genuinely, I don't think Akutagawa can kill Atsushi

What do you mean. What do you mean Akutagawa didn't know why Atsushi saved him. What do you mean Atsushi saw how Dazai treated Akutagawa, thus adding a new layer of understanding between them. What do you mean Akutagawa wanted to kill Atsushi for fear he would never be accepted "and then—" And then what, you fell in love??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN DAZAI WAS THE DIRECTOR BECAUSE ATSUSHI TOO HAS TO ACCEPT HIS PAST—

christmas headcanon is just atsushi makes a big deal of christmas santa claus etc for kyouka; kyouka doesnt believe in santa claus but pretends to for atsushi;; atsushi also doesn't believe in santa claus but pretends to for kyouka

ranpo knows whats going on but he thinks this is fun; and atsushi going all out means more treats for him

dazai isnt sure if atsushi believes but also doesnt wanna be the asshole to ruin it for him, so he pretends for atsushi's sake; atsushi is now lying about santa claus more becuz he thinks dazai believes in him too

kunikida doesnt think atsushi believes in santa claus but dazai seems unsure so he starts doubting himself; atsushi is now keeping up the lie becuz three ppl in his life apparently believe in santa claus

he gets breaks with yosano who also knows whats going but thinks this is all very funny

junichiro also knows atsushi is pretending about santa claus but he thinks its only for kyouka; somehow his convo with atsushi leads to everyone thinking santa claus is coming to visit

everyone thinks kenji believes in santa claus too so theyre convos are all vague

dazai and kunikida frantically try to find a santa claus for atsushi kenji and kyouka

kyouka desperately tries to find a santa claus for atsushi

atsushi and juni desperately try to find a santa claus for kyouka and kenji

fukuzawa (kunikidazai convince him), the cafe owner (kyouka and lucy convince him), and hirotsu (atsushi asks akutagawa if he has a santa claus and akutagawa confusedly googles that/asks higuchi to google it and show him the screen, figures out its some old guy, asks hirotsu to go to the ada, becuz he too is an old guy) end up all dressed as santa claus at the ada together

kenji walks in and asks if theyre having a christmas party

atsushi panics

naomi lies and says theyre having a spot the real santa competition

kenji asks what a santa is

yosano cant hold it in anymore; she just bursts into laughter

no one in the ada believes in santa claus

You could've been getting down to this sick beat!

atsushi really didn't stop until he gave akutagawa his full autonomy back. he nearly got himself killed for trying back when akutagawa was a vampire and now he literally sacrificed himself for it. he truly doesn't want akutagawa to lose to himself. i'm ill. I'M ILL

Akutgawa watching Atsushi “find” his missing shoes after moving them to a more obvious spot for the 80th time that morning: My detective ❤️🥰

Atsushi, smiling really bashfully:

Dazai, lazing on their couch, slept on the balcony bc he lost his dorm key and Kunikida refused to let him back in: Gross. Fucking disgusting. I was expecting some interesting shit not this bs wtf.

Atsushi: WHAT THE FUCK-

In your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team :)

Little akutagawa-chan😔
