Uncle Outrage — The Chinchilla Album

Kunikidazai headcannon ramble

(Mostly written back in January of this year)

My ramblings will be based off what I've seen from the anime. But from season 1-3. So my bad if I miss anything to factor in. And mostly just for now me rambling about how they got together.

CW: Very minor mention of suicide

I think the idea of a punctual guy who is just normal getting paired up romantically with a playful yet chaotic and tactical character is funny to me and I'm all for it to be honest.

I like to think starting out Kunikida didn't really see Dazai more than just a coworker. And then kinda didn't like him once Dazai started messing with him. So he started kinda hating his guts sometimes because when it comes to just doing the work, Kunikida respects Dazai because he knows Dazai will actually do his job.

Dazai meanwhile had some interest in Kunikida, but more so with teasing him a lot once he noticed that Kunikida was the partially gullible type. And he enjoys Kunikida's reactions whenever Kunikida realizes that Dazai gave him misinformation or tries to mess with his schedule.

Dazai did at some point date Chuuya when he used to be in the Port Mafia. But he obviously broke up with him around the time he left Port Mafia.

So when Dazai first met Kunikida, he felt a similar energy that Kunikida shares with Chuuya. Dazai definitely has a type, and it's people he can get away teasing and still be yelled at.

Kunikida is more of a bi icon and he does have 58 criterias for a spouse. But he says woman because he doesn't wanna out himself just yet. And even though he says they're criterias, he doesn't actually want all those criterias met. Because he's still unsure of if he should have a partner who he'd risk having them worry a lot for him since being in the Armed Detective Agency is a dangerous job. So he uses the 58 criterias as an excuse to reject people who either make the attempt to ask him, or to stop himself from pursuing someone.

Dazai once took a peek at Kunikida's notebook and flipped through the 58 criterias page on Kunikida's "ideal woman" and noticed that it wasn't titled 'Ideal Woman', it was titled 'Ideal Partner'. Which Dazai found interesting on a more gender neutral use to refer to someone instead of a gendered one like he kept verbally saying. And the more he looked at the criterias, the more he noticed that a good amount of the stuff listed, were not at all linked to a specific gender or anything that he'd expect a man like Kunikida would say he'd want in a woman.

It wouldn't take long for Dazai to deduce that Kunikida may also be interested in other genders besides women. He also took into account that a lot of criterias written down seemed too unrealistic for one person to have. So Dazai was convinced this was because Kunikida was not allowing himself to be in a relationship.

After Dazai got a good scolding from Kunikida after getting his notebook back, Dazai decided that instead of simply teasing Kunikida about his 'unrealistic preferences' he would wanna see what is actually Kunikida's type if it were a man. And what better way to start than with himself. Dazai did think Kunikida was handsome and didn't mind the idea of dating Kunikida. Although he'd not push it too hard if Kunikida didn't reciprocate.

Kunikida would be pissed off that Dazai looked in his notebook long enough to have read something. And was concerned that Dazai might've actually found out that he wasn't exactly straight. Kunikida knows that Dazai is no stranger to blackmail. And it would be a pain in his ass if Dazai used it against him.

Kunikida wasn't concerned about some people in the Armed Detective Agency finding out, but he also doesn't want someone else to out him because it's neither their right nor business to do so. He'd keep an eye on Dazai and see if there's an attempt. But nothing really happens at first.

At first.

Eventually Dazai seems playful or teasing towards Kunikida. And the poor man doesn't get why Dazai is being more annoying than usual.

Whenever Kunikida gets paired up with Dazai for a mission, Dazai would do some slight flirting banter and Kunikida either doesn't pick up on it or is flustered by it because he's not used to being flirted on, especially not by a man.

Kunikida does believe that Dazai is conventionally handsome but he didn't have a crush on him. So when Dazai started flirting towards him, he wasn't sure how to feel because on one hand, he doesn't think co workers should be flirting on the job. But at the same time, he didn't mind it.

It would be a blessing and a curse that he tells Dazai to only do that outside of missions.

Because now Dazai is flirting towards Kunikida discreetly.

It starts with simple sticky notes being placed at his desk. Some of the official workers start teasing that Kunikida has a secret admirer and it leads to some light gossiping on wondering who it could be.

Atsushi would ask Kunikida if he has any idea on who it could be. Kunikida does have a good idea on knowing that it's Dazai given how he's been behaving lately and isn't even trying to hide it. Yet at the same time Dazai is doing it in ways where he'd be the only one to notice. However, Kunikida only tells Atsushi that it is someone he knows. This only made the office workers more interested.

The office workers would attempt to bribe Ranpo with sweets to tell them who it could be. Fukuzawa catches wind of this and asks Ranpo to not say who it is since it's not their business to know. Fukuzawa is basically Ranpo's dad so he listens and doesn't say who wrote that love note to Kunikida. Yes, he still takes the sweets.

Ranpo would at this point watch Dazai and Kunikida's interactions from a distance. But he wouldn't do much. At most he'd just say, "Ya seeing this Yosano?" or "Atsushi, take my place for this case, there's a show I'd rather watch".

It takes a bit for Atsushi to figure out Dazai's attraction to Kunikida. Dazai casually tells Atsushi that he's unsure if he'd want to commit double suicide with Kunikida since he knows it would go against Kunikida's ideals.

Dazai would unintentionally developed more proper feelings for Kunikida and start feeling inadequate in the sense that he wants the opposite of what Kunikida's ideals are.

This causes Dazai to feel a bit down but makes attempts to hide it.

Leading Kunikida to pick up on this and bites the bullet to ask Dazai if he's okay since this feels different from his normal antics.

Dazai's chest feels tighter hearing that.

He says nothing but desperately hugs Kunikida. The blonde man is taken back by this however he decides to just confront the brunette in front of him.

Kunikida is confused what's gotten into Dazai. He'll admit, he did think the hug felt nice, and he could tell the hug is sincere.

Kunikida: May you please tell me afterwards what's wrong?

Dazai burrows his face in Kunikida's shoulder

Dazai: Some other time. I just wanna be like this for a bit longer.

They both stood there a bit longer in silence.

The blonde could feel a slight tremble from the brunette. He felt that it was correct to hold the other slightly tighter. He tried gingerly brushing his fingers' through the brunette's locks, in an attempt to calm him down.

More additional silence.

Dazai shifts himself briefly where he looks directly into Kunikida's eyes.

Dazai places his head on Kunikida's chest, hearing his heartbeat.

The brunette closes his eyes and slowly exhales.

Dazai pulls away and gives Kunikida a genuine smile and walks away before Kunikida could say anything.

This felt different from the Dazai he's some to know.

He's unsure if the world is ending or if he got a small glimpse at Dazai's feelings. But he wants to understand what's going on.

The following day the blonde asks Atsushi if Dazai has said or done anything off.

Atsushi didn't see much different from Dazai.

It takes a moment for the silvered haired young man to recall.

Atsushi: He might've mentioned something about your ideals? I'm not sure what he meant at the time.

Kunikida: My ideals? He's never seemed to care about them.

The blonde man started to think.

Meanwhile in the distance Ranpo is witnessing his new soap opera. The events unfolding in front of him-

Kunikida checked the sticky notes that he put into a stack and compared writings from both Dazai's unfinished paperwork and those sticky notes. Yes, they seemed to be a match.

The blonde took a moment to think until it hit him.

...Did Dazai...? Like him that way...?

The thought made his cheeks lightly flush.

Sure, he thought Dazai was conveniently attractive. But he never at that point felt much for the guy in the romantic department.

Looking back at that moment where Dazai hugged him felt nice. It gave him slight butterflies in his stomach as he's trying to recall.

Kunikida texts Dazai to meet him at the park in about 30 minutes. Dazai replies as his usual goofy self. Something Kunikida doesn't argue with in that moment, seeing as how Dazai seems to be avoiding his feelings.

Kunikida grabs his notebook for his ideal woman and heads off to the park.

Atsushi noticed and was about to stop him until Ranpo latched onto him, ordering him to get him some snacks at a nearby store.

Kunikida sits at a park bench and thinks things over several times. Each time made him nervous.

His thoughts would get interrupted when Dazai sits down next to him.

Dazai: My, this is the first time you ask me to hang out.

Kunikida: I wanted to talk to you about something.

Dazai plays dumb and cocks his head slightly to the side.

Dazai: Hm? About what.

Kunikida: How you've been acting recently. Your feelings.

Dazai's face falls to a frown.

Dazai: You have quiet the imagination Kunikida. Leave that to only me and the other kids.

Kunikida scoffed at that last part.

Kunikida: I think we both know what you're talking about.

Kunikida turns his gaze to Dazai and asks sincerely

Kunikida: Do you... Have romantic feelings for me?

Dazai: ...

Kunikida tries studying Dazai's body language. Noting that Dazai is somewhat playing with his hands.

Kunikida: Your handwriting matches the ones on those sticky notes and before that, you even teased me about my ideal woman. Something as of recent bothered you somehow.

Dazai: Oh wow you didn't pull anything back. Something I'd expect from you.

Kunikida: Please answer-

Dazai: So what if it's true? What then?

Kunikida: I'm not sure either.

Dazai: Then I don't feel like answering.

Kunikida: Huh?!

Kunikida was confused what Dazai was trying to pull here. The blonde haired man was trying to clear things up for the two of them, but Dazai doesn't seem to wanna clarify?

Kunikida: That hug the other day... I felt the Dazai that doesn't easily show himself to anyone. Now tell me whats wrong.

Dazai: ...

Dazai: ...

Dazai: ...

Kunikida got frustrated and cupped Dazai's face.

Kunikida: Back there, I felt you tremble. I felt you hesitate on something. That isn't normally like you. And your behavior has been off more so than usual. Please, just tell me.

Dazai takes a moment to examine the blonde.

There was silence between the both of them until Dazai broke that silence.

Dazai: Why should I let myself fall in love with someone who wants to live?

Dazai's face falls to frustration with himself

Dazai: Why bother when we're both too different?

Kunikida: So you're admitting it?

Dazai: ...

Kunikida: I think I understand now.

Kunikida holds Dazai's hand gently. He feels he's vaguely understanding Dazai.

Kunikida: It's okay to want to choose life.

Dazai looked into Kunikida's eyes.

Kunikida: This book, is just a fantasy. I don't expect for such a person exist, if there was, then I must be dreaming.

Kunikida pauses.

Kunikida: You know, it's okay to be different from the person you like.

Dazai's heart ached. Tears threatened to fall.

Dazai: I class to hard-

Kunikida: What does your heart want?

Dazai: ...

Dazai: ...

Kunikida sighs: Here's what mine wants.

The blonde holds up Dazai's hand and gently places his lips on Dazai's knuckles.

Dazai's eyes widen. Tears start pouring from his face.

Kunikida: I... I love you.

The blonde used his thumb to wipe away Dazai's tears.

Dazai: Is it really okay for me to feel this way?

Kunikida: Of course.

Dazai smiles.

He proceeds to mimic Kunikida and held up the blonde's hand. And gently kissed Kunikida's hand.

Dazai: I love you too.

All in a day's work

LIL MAN

Love fatz 💕

Kuniki/Dazai

He looks like vanilla pudding with that chocolate syrup bottom... I can't get that off my mind...-

Anyway, the pallette here was tough mainly because I had to adjust a lot of Kunikida's colors since Bones decided to make them the most horrible shade of greenish yellow....

Otherwise, he was fun.

-Nix🌙
