hirotsu: Are you perhaps, jealous, Tachihara-kun?

akutagawa:

tachihara: tell me what???

akutagawa: Don’t you dare. @atsushiii

atsushi: oh yeah??? whats going to stop me?? huh????

kyouka: atsushi, it’s better to not use the blackmail material you have up your sleeve yet. wait until the timing is right.

kouyou: You are absolutely right as always, Kyouka. What an amazing child.

chuuya: i

atsushi: well i guess… you’re safe this time @Akutagawa

akutagawa: Shut up.

dazai: well thats a weird way to flirt with your crush

chuuya: stfu dazai let them figure it out on their own

dazai: do u rlly think thats possible??? theyre literally dumb and dumber i can bet kunikida’s life savings that they wont realise they have feelings for each other even when they’re making out

kunikida: STOP USING MY MONEY!

ranpo: oooh im up for the bet! i’m betting atsushi’s life savings!

atsushi: WHAT??? also what’s this bet about?

akutagawa: With all due respect, Edogawa-san, only I can ruin the weretiger’s life. I’m afraid I can’t let you do that.

ranpo: there’s a way u can prevent that, akutagawa. just prove that what I'm about to say is correct! 

akutagawa: Alright…?

dazai: BOOOO WHERES THE FUN IN THAT >:((

kunikida: This bet is invalid. I do not give my consent for my savings to be gambled away like this.

ranpo: but

fukuzawa: I’m afraid I’ll have to agree with Kunikida-kun on this. Sorry, Ranpo-kun.

kunikida: President!

mori: booo what a bore 

chuuya: boss!!

mori: carry on whatever u guys are doing… dont let me destroy the fun! :)

dazai: yo ngl that sent chills down my spine

dazai: n e ways

dazai: i’ll bet chuuya’s life savings then

chuuya: WTF ABSOLUTELY NOT

ranpo: fukuzawa-san?

fukuzawa: He is not one of us so I do not have a say in this matter.

mori: i do and it’s go wild my child

chuuya: BOSS

dazai: that’s settled then! im betting chuuya’s life savings that the oblivious duo wont even realise they have feelings for each other, even when they’re making out

ranpo: nice! i bet atsushi’s life savings that the oblivious duo will, in fact, realise their feelings before they make out.

atsushi: .. ok if you’re betting my savings at least tell me whose love lives u guys r betting on… 

akutagawa: Weretiger. You’re just going to let your colleague bet away your life savings like that? Are you an idiot?

atsushi: well ranpo-san is always right so im not that concerned

akutagawa: At least bargain for a chip at Chuuya-san’s savings, then.

chuuya: EXCUSE ME???? 

ranpo: well, atsushi. i’m betting on your love life.

atsushi: WHAT

akutagawa: The weretiger’s love life? Hah. As if.

gin: lol someone’s jealous

higuchi: What are you implying, Gin?

gin: :|

atsushi: wait… if it’s my love life… and my life savings r in danger…. shouldnt it be easy for me to protect it by making sure you win the bet? @worldsbestdetectiveranpo

dazai: yeah if u werent so oblivious lol

chuuya: im conflicted now like on one hand i want them to Realise their feelings bcs i cant stand their pining but on the other hand, that’s my life savings…

dazai: well!! all they have to do is make out before they realise their feelings and u should be safe

chuuya: true

atsushi: EXCUSE ME WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE OUT WITH AGAIN

akutagawa: As if anyone would willingly do so.

gin: i can name someone who would

akutagawa: Gin.

tachihara: wait. this might sound crazy but does gin have a crush on nakajima? like i thought it was akutagawa that she was responding to but what if it’s actually the weretiger?

atsushi: WHAT

akutagawa: What.

gin: tachihara you are such an idiot.

tachihara: so i’m right?

gin: no

tachihara: sure….

akutagawa: Why would she like the weretiger?

Chapter Text

6.34 a.m.

dazai: i think

chuuya: no one cares

dazai: MEAN!!

dazai: NEWAYS

dazai: i just think that 

dazai: atsushi kitty

chuuya: actually. thats. a valid point for once.

kyouka: yes. atsushi kitty.

atsushi: ????? im a tiger!! not a cat!! >:((

yosano: no but actually!!! 

yosano: think about it

yosano: u like to laze in the sun

ranpo: u sleep a lot

kyouka: u do those stretches that cats do sometimes

kunikida: You’re quite easily frightened.

atsushi: kunikida not u too :’(

chuuya: have yall,,, tried petting his head or sumn

dazai: i have!! if he could purr im sure he would

atsushi: im not a cat!!!

akutagawa: Well, you do enjoy chasing Rashomon around like how a cat chases dangling strings around.

atsushi: thats not true!!

atsushi: wait wtf

atsushi: HAVE U BEEN DANGLING RASHOMON IN FRONT OF ME ON PURPOSE?????

akutagawa: And if I have?

atsushi: WTF AKUTAGAWA IM NOT A CAT!!!

kajii: well scientifically speaking, a tiger is just a big cat

hirotsu: Actually, Atsushi-kun. Based on the above testimonies, I do think that the Atsushi Kitty movement is solid.

gin: i can see it

gin: also, my brother likes cats

akutagawa: Gin.

dazai: OHOHOHOHO

higuchi: … i can see it too actually

higuchi: the weretiger’s resemblance to a cat, that is

akutagawa: … Atsushi kitty.

atsushi: wtf...

 

7.54 pm

dazai: so if i hit myself and im hurt does that make me weak or strong

yosano: it’s too early for this

kunikida: This question gets on my nerves for some reason.

kajii: now THIS is the pinnacle of science

kajii: well for you to feel hurt you’ll need to apply enough pressure to the pain receptors in your epidermis

kajii: assuming that the amount needed to activate the pain receptors is constant, that means the more pain u feel the stronger u are

kajii: HOWEVER lets assume that the amount needed to activate the pain receptors is a variable, meaning that it changes from one person to another

kajii: that means the more pain u feel, the less tolerant you are of pain, which makes you weak.

kajii: i feel like the second theory is more realistically accurate so i’d say u’re weak

yosano: that moment when u’re just fucking around but u get a whole ass science lesson in return

chuuya: i can help u get stronger u waste of bandages :) let me increase your pain tolerance :))

atsushi: i feel like strength and weakness is more than that. like consider person A who can feel more pain, but is able to tolerate vs person B who cant feel any pain and hence wont need to tolerate it. wouldnt person A be considered stronger since he had to (and could!) withstand it? i feel like there’s strength in acknowledging pain.

akutagawa: Back on this bullshit again, I see.

akutagawa: But, I agree.

akutagawa: Having the option to kill, but withholding yourself from doing so is a much harder act. I see strength in that. Strength in being merciful.

akutagawa: It would be much easier to just stab them and be done with it.

atsushi: … ok im glad u learned ur lesson from ur 6 months no killing spree but damn,,,,

dazai: MY DISCIPLE. YOU’VE GROWN. :’)

akutagawa: I guess.

gin: lol he’s tearing up rn

akutagawa: Fake news.

atsushi: gin send some pics we need to commemorate the day akutagawa Feels Emotions

gin: will do, brother-in-law!

yosano: oooh atsushi, u sly fox. just say u want pics of akutagawa and go

kunikida: You really aren’t subtle. I’m not sure how to feel about your budding relationship. It feels forbidden, somehow.

fukuzawa: As long as the alliance is in place, it should be fine.

mori: even if its not thats fine by me lmao

mori: like i might be all for crime and stuff but i’ll never go against gay rights

mori: actually, my personal motto is be gay do crimes

chuuya: amen to that

akutagawa: The only relationship I have with Nakajima is forced work partnership.

gin: but u wished it was more

akutagawa: No.

hirotsu: It’s already more.

akutagawa: No.

atsushi: bold of u to assume i want to be in any relationship with you, forced or not

akutagawa: Why must you be so difficult?

atsushi: i like seeing u suffer

dazai: so atsushi likes watching akutagawa? 

ranpo: yeah thats what i got from the sentence too

atsushi: I LIKE SEEING HIM SUFFER 

yosano: so you like watching akutagawa, we get it

atsushi: emphasis on suffer

kyouka: emphasis on “enjoy watching akutagawa”

tanizaki: yeah no matter how you word it the only conclusion is that u like watching him

tachihara: i kind of have to agree on that one

higuchi: yes, weretiger. there’s no getting out of that

atsushi: i hate all of u

akutagawa: I object. I’m the only one you should hate.

atsushi: wtf

gin: ugh why are they so hopeless

chuuya: helloooo atsushi’s life savings <3

 

3.45 a.m.

kyouka: i have a question

kouyou: Kyouka, my dear. What is it?

kouyou: Although, I’m quite worried that you’re up this late.

kyouka: i think it would be more economical for atsushi’s wallet if i bought a crepe machine maker

kyouka: can i buy it?

kouyou: Absolutely. I’ll have it delivered to your dorm as soon as possible. Do you still room with the weretiger?

kyouka: thank you ^^

kyouka: and yes i do

akutagawa: Where does the weretiger sleep then?

kyouka: in the closet

kouyou: Very well. It should arrive tomorrow afternoon. Have fun making crepes, dear.

kyouka: i will. i’ll make one for you as thanks.

chuuya: oh god big sis is tearing up i am not paid enough to deal with this

kouyou: Hush, Chuuya.

 

2.35 p.m.

atsushi: is something wrong with akutagawa?

higuchi: not that i know of, why?

atsushi: why hasnt he threatened me with murder yet??

higuchi: … there are no words

dazai: maybe he wants to be friendlier with you or something?

akutagawa: I hope all of you are aware that I am included in this group chat as well.

atsushi: ok

atsushi: so whats wrong with you???

akutagawa: Nothing. I am perfectly well.

gin: sounds sus

atsushi: thank u gin

akutagawa: Is it truly hard to believe that I may not feel up to murdering you every now and then?

atsushi: tf kinda question,,,, obviously yes??

atsushi: u’ve been trying to kill me since the first time we met

atsushi: and it only stopped like a few months ago

atsushi: … r u trying to lower my defenses so that u can just stab me one day

akutagawa: I do not need to lower your defenses to be able to stan you, Nakajima, and I am sure you are well aware of that fact.

atsushi: stan??? me????

akutagawa: stab**

dazai: wbk akutagawa is an atsushi stan what else is new

akutagawa: It was a typo.

chuuya: well yeah it may be a typo but that doesnt change how true it is

akutagawa: I do not stan the weretiger.

gin: yes u do

hirotsu: This again? 

atsushi: … so u havent threatened to murder me bcs u stan me… okay……..

akutagawa: Shut up.

dazai: lmaooo he cant even deny the statement

 

Akutagawa left the group yokohama’s protectors uwu .

 

atsushi: i wasnt going to make fun of him for it…

 

dazai osamu added Akutagawa to the group yokohama’s protectors uwu .

 

atsushi: i was about to say i lowkey stanned him too sometimes he’s kinda cool when he’s not trying to kill me

akutagawa: You think I’m cool, Nakajima?

atsushi: of course this was going to happen

atsushi: but if u really must know… yes i think ur cool or wtv sue me

akutagawa: Oh.

gin: lol he’s panicking

dazai: judging by the way things r heading…. rip chuuya’s life savings

chuuya: u know…. i cant even bring myself to be that mad

 

3.00 p.m.

atsushi: u know what akutagawa im gonna need u to feel murderous right about now and take me tf out

higuchi: … as in ending your life or out on a date?

gin: higuchi asking the real questions

tachihara: …. what happened in the 25 mins this group was inactive lmao

atsushi: no one say a word!!

atsushi: also

atsushi: where tf is that murderous coat rack when u need him most this is atsushi-phobic

dazai: MURDEROUS COAT RACK SHKSHDKD

akutagawa: I don’t know if I should kill you for calling me a murderous coat rack or not kill you just to go against your wishes.

chuuya: everyday i face that dilemma when dealing with dazai rip……. f for solidarity

kajii: but there’s no letter f in solidarity…? so does that mean there’s no solidarity?

chuuya:

kyouka: atsushi accidentally called fukuzawa “dad”

atsushi: KYOUKA-CHAN!!!

fukuzawa: Do you see me as a parental figure, Atsushi-kun?

mori: well u do exude daddy vibes

kouyou: Oh my God.

chuuya: wheres the bleach i need to Cleanse my eyes what the fuck

yosano: wine. i need wine.

kenji: what did mori-san mean when he said daddy vibes?

kunikida: I cannot deal with this. Atsushi, take responsibility.

atsushi: why me????

kunikida: You started the whole discussion regarding… parental figures.

atsushi: pls kill me right this instant @Akutagawa

akutagawa: And why should I? I’m quite enjoying this.

atsushi: you’re always going off about how i shouldnt die yet bcs i should only die by ur hands well hello!! nows ur chance!!!

akutagawa: No.

gin: so what im getting from that statement is “only i can kill you”  and i think thats beautiful

higuchi: akutagawa senpai, at first i thought that the weretiger was not suitable for you but seeing how happy he makes you, i shall support you every step of the way

ranpo: ok but are we just going to ignore how nakahara said that he faces the “to kill or not to kill” dilemma everyday? that implies he sees dazai everyday

hirotsu: Oho?

mori: did both of u finally get over yourselves and talk it out or is that too much

chuuya: wait why are we suddenly talking about this

kouyou: He’s not denying it.

kajii: that’s basically a confession

kenji: chuuya-san likes dazai-san??

chuuya: no i dont!!

kenji: really? thank u so much for telling us!

chuuya: wait

chuuya: what

kenji: what? :o

chuuya: you’re not going to question further?

kenji: why should i? you’ve already told us your honest answer there’s no need to doubt your words

chuuya: huh….

chuuya: well ok…….

kenji: thanks once again! :D im really glad you trust us enough to share this with us

chuuya: ok now u’re just mocking me

kenji: im not!! there’s nothing to mock?? im just genuinely happy for you!

chuuya: ………..

chuuya: ugh FINE i like that stupid bandage wasting asshole. 

chuuya: THERE. HAPPY?

kenji: ah, really??? thanks for telling us!! :D i knew that honest conversation would help us understand each other better!!

chuuya: ….. what……...

tanizaki: kenji-kun’s method really is amazing holy shit…..

kouyou: It’s about time you admit that, Chuuya-kun. 

kunikida: Wait. Where’s Dazai?

atsushi: thats right….. wouldnt he be holding this against chuuya-san?

kyouka: he took a nap after laughing about atsushi’s murderous coat rack insult for five minutes straight

yosano: … where?? i dont see him??

ranpo: rooftop

chuuya: …. so im safe

hirotsu: For now.

chuuya: …. ok u know what akutagawa im gonna need your murdering services too

akutagawa: 

Notes:

sooooo i hope u guys enjoy this chapter as well djskfhj it seems as if things are finally picking up for our main pairings (for now) will dazai do something about it? will akutagawa and atsushi stop denying their feelings? will chuuya change his identity and run away to new zealand to become a sheep herder? we'll never know

on another note, a kind soul i met on the (sometimes cursed) blue bird app had taught me how to link my twitter account (finally) i am forever grateful and i owe them My Life

dazai: you havent killed chuuya yet right? @Akutagawa

atsushi: oh my god he said the l word

mori: are you finally going to do something?

kunikida: Don’t tell me… you’re planning on stealing a plane to get there?!

dazai: @morithemafiaboss yes

dazai: @KunikidaDoppo im not going to steal omg what do u take me for??? im simply.. Borrowing… stuff

hirotsu: huh that explains the missing private jet

yosano: can he even pilot the plane tho

tanizaki: why’s the port mafia so chill over the fact that dazai literally stole one of their planes??

kouyou: It’s for Chuuya’s happiness. He deserves it.

mori: yeah esp for being unlucky enough to be the guy dazai falls for

atsushi: i feel like i should be defending dazai-san for this but i kind of agree

akutagawa: Oh. Nakajima? Finally have working brain cells?

atsushi: oh stfu akutagawa

fukuzawa: … From what?

mori: u see i cant resist a good bet

mori: so …. ive placed An Amount on dazai’s prediction

fukuzawa: You’re betting on your subordinate’s love life?

mori: u’re old

fukuzawa: … 

kajii: … i kind of regret asking now

atsushi: same

Akutagawa: i dont have to put up a facade

atsushiii: oh

Akutagawa: that’s for me to know and for you to find out

atsushiii: tf

Akutagawa: is that all?

atsushiii: wait… but…. shouldnt i be in on the plan too? since its about my love life and all?

Akutagawa: no 

Akutagawa: that’ll only lead to ranpo winning

Akutagawa: just,,, sit there and do nothing

atsushiii: ….. what???

Akutagawa: it’s better if you don’t think about it

Akutagawa: forget this thing existed, nakajima

atsushiii: right… 

atsushiii: well.. uh thanks? i guess?

Akutagawa: np

yosano: so its not like we can be all buddy buddy from the start

kunikida: It’s different for you, Dazai, because you know everyone here.

dazai: true

dazai: but thats what this group is for!

dazai: … among other things

ranpo: lmao

dazai: ;)

dazai: n e ways!!

dazai: i think an ice breaking session should take place

chuuya: isnt that too late esp with all the gossip and slander we’ve exchanged

tachihara: thats mainly just about the bet tho

higuchi: and the weretiger’s love life consequently 

atsushi: … i feel so betrayed

dazai: its never too late!

kouyou: What do you propose we do?

kouyou: Tell three interesting facts about ourselves?

kunikida: And the Port Mafia is?

tachihara: well relatively

tachihara: for example

tachihara: hirotsu cried when karasuno lost against seijoh in season 1

yosano: thats understandable

kunikida: How is that normal?

tachihara: its more normal compared to u

hirotsu: I’m glad someone understands.

hirotsu: Since I’ve been mentioned, I assume it’s my turn.

hirotsu: Kouyou also wants a girlfriend.

kouyou: That I do.

ranpo: interesting… :)

kouyou: … Should I feel threatened?

yosano: midly

dazai: interesting indeed….

kouyou: If Dazai’s involved, the threat level goes up exponentially.

kouyou: To divert attention away from the topic, I’ll reveal the fact that Mori has been pining for the same person for over a decade.

mori: … and why would u expose me like that

akutagawa: That’s information I could’ve lived without knowing.

mori: thats rich coming from u ˚✧₊⁎❝᷀ົཽ≀ˍ̮ ❝᷀ົཽ⁎⁺˳✧༚

fukuzawa: Please never use that again.

mori: i think

fukuzawa:

Chapter Text

4.36 p.m.

yosano: chuuya

yosano: just a heads up

yosano: but i think dazai started a cult in your honour

chuuya: what

kenji: i still find it amazing how your hat didnt fall off your head when you were upside down

atsushi: can we also talk about how cool he is?? fighting with his hands in his pockets like damn

akutagawa: I do that too?

atsushi: i choose not to see

tanizaki: not to mention!! how powerful he is?? dazai told us that he shoved a building down a dragon’s throat during that weird mist incident

atsushi: ugh what an icon

tanizaki: he seems quite friendly and down to earth too!! for a mafioso that is -naomi

tachihara: nakahara chuuya the man the myth the legend

chuuya: … why is this happening shitty dazai?

dazai: cant a man start a fanclub for his boyfriend in peace?

chuuya: not if that man is you

dazai: ouchies :((

chuuya: ….

kunikida: Nakahara-san. Do you mind if I murder your lover?

chuuya: not at all lol go ahead

mori: oof

dazai: this is so sad

dazai: i’ll never forget this betrayal

yosano: i cant believe someone like dazai has a s/o but i dont??

yosano: this is home of foe big

kouyou: Felt that.

ranpo: same

yosano: ranpo your crush is practically head over heels for u all u have to do is confess

ranpo: fake news

dazai: have u ever met someone so smart yet so dumb

atsushi: dazai-san with all due respect, you were in the same situation as ranpo-san a few days ago

dazai: atsushi u have no rights u’re literally in the situation

atsushi: i dont have a crush tho??

gin: f for ryuu

higuchi: f

fukuzawa: You’re not his senpai.

mori: N E WAY

mori: use ultra deduction and u’ll instantly know

ranpo: obviously

ranpo: but

ranpo: i dont want to do that to him

ranpo: like?? i feel like im prying into his life????

ranpo: and what if i do use ultra deduction

ranpo: and he doesnt like me like that??

ranpo: i’ll be too heartbroken to face him

ranpo: and then i’ll have to quit the agency and yall would be jobless i cant do that

kunikida: You don’t have to quit the Agency, though.

ranpo: ofc i have to!!

ranpo: if i suddenly go all mia on him he’d come here and find me and tbh i cant deal w facing that criminally attractive face irl when im plagued w the knowledge that he wont ever like me the way i like him

tanizaki: we can prevent him from coming to the Agency?

ranpo: now wheres the drama in that

tanizaki: i

tanizaki: well ok then

dazai: guess we’ll just have to get poe to confess 

chuuya: you’re right for once

dazai: you wound me <//3 

atsushi: so… operation: ranpoe?

dazai: operation: ranpoe.

akutagawa: You already have a name for the mission? @atsushiii

atsushi: tbh me and dazai-san have been working on it for quite some time now…

yosano: why didnt u tell us all sooner omg

kouyou: My thoughts exactly. Ranpo and Poe could have been together by now.

yosano: facts!! men are far too incompetent when it comes to matters of the heart.

kouyou: Agreed.

gin: preach

higuchi:

ranpo: i-

ranpo: thanks???

dazai: no prob!!

dazai: stage 1 is already underway tho

ranpo: wait what

atsushi: really???

atsushi: thats fast

ranpo: ???? whats stage 1??????

dazai: 3

ranpo: 3 what

dazai: 2

ranpo: wait

dazai: 1

ranpo: DAZAI

ranpo: I HDKSJSLSJ

ranpo: HDLSJSLSJDLDJLDJDLSD

ranpo: [DECEASED.]

atsushi: …. im guessing that went well?

akutagawa: Literally how does that sentence indicate that things went well?

chuuya: im with him on this ^

dazai: stage 1 was getting lucy to ask poe for help

hirotsu: How does that explain Ranpo’s reaction?

atsushi: dazai-san broke the coffee machine, knowing that lucy didnt know how to repair it. not wanting to trouble the coffee shop owners more than she already had, she’d ask someone familiar to her and that would be poe-san.

atsushi: their former strategist loved to drink coffee and whenever the machine broke down, interestingly enough, it would be poe who’d fix things.

gin: how does fixing a coffee machine lead to… that

dazai: easy! did some tinkering that’ll lead to poe getting drenched in (cold) water that’ll cause him to ditch those outer layers of clothing and be in his white shirt

dazai: and!! cause him to sweep his bangs away!!! exposing his always covered forehead

atsushi: obviously he wouldnt want to be wet the whole day so he’ll ask a friend for a spare change of clothes and who else would that friend be if not ranpo-san?

dazai: its super convenient too bcs the cafe’s only 3 floors below our floor so it would make more sense for poe to come here rather than go back

higuchi: that…. explains the reaction

chuuya: … idk if i should be amazed or scared w ur planning…. @dazaiosamu

kunikida: If only you kept that same enthusiasm with doing paperwork. @dazaiosamu

atsushi: ^ felt that

yosano: ok that explains the reaction… but how will this bring ranpoe together?

dazai: we all know how Impactful poe would be in just a white shirt + forehead out and about

dazai: so betting on that, im guessing that ranpo wont be able to mask his expression so it might give a hint to poe that his feelings arent as unrequited as he thought

dazai: hopefully that’ll give him some courage to confess someday

dazai: it’ll be faster once stage 2 and 3 commence tho

kouyou: I am actually quite impressed.

hirotsu: As expected from a former Port Mafia executive.

tachihara: wow now i know who i shouldnt piss off…

tanizaki: exactly

dazai: Oh? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

akutagawa: Hmm.

akutagawa: What stage are you at with me? @dazaiosamu

dazai: considering that you’re self-aware now….. stage 6 maybe?

akutagawa: So this whole thing was a part of your plan.

dazai: maybe ;-)

akutagawa: … 

chuuya: what r u guys talking about???

dazai: nothing!!

chuuya: sounds sus

mori: hm…..

atsushi: i somehow feel that i should know whats going on but tbh i dont

kyouka: same

higuchi: i have a bad feeling about this

tachihara: this ominous atmosphere… i dont like it

gin: i’ll do u one better

gin: i reject the vibe check

atsushi: mannnnn i wanna be friends w the black lizard peeps they seem cool

tanizaki: mood

dazai: Ohoho? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

tanizaki: :|

kyouka: im friends with gin. can confirm she’s cool. :D

Chapter Text

11.25 a.m.

tachihara: akutagawa dont stab me but

tachihara: the tea u told me to get sold out

akutagawa:

akutagawa: I expected this to happen.

akutagawa: I knew that if it wasn’t me who went, this would happen.

akutagawa: I told you to take Super Savers Saturday seriously.

gin: oh yeah its a warzone every time never underestimate middle aged women who’s out for a bargain

kyouka: middle aged women and atsushi tbh

kyouka: the only time he’ll willingly fight others (excluding battlefields and akutagawa) is when he’s out grocery shopping and his favourite items are on sale

atsushi: … not my finest moment

tachihara: … u’ll fight the elderly for premium green tea that’s 50% off?

atsushi: what do u take me for???

kyouka: the answer’s yes btw

atsushi: KYOUKA-CHAN

yosano: atsushi……..

fukuzawa: Hmm.

kunikida: What did I tell you about upholding the Agency’s image?

atsushi: in my defense

atsushi: im broke and i need ways to cut down on my expenses ok

atsushi: being nice is a privilege only the rich can afford

dazai: in conclusion

dazai: eat the rich!!!!

akutagawa: Didn’t know you had it in you. @atsushiii

higuchi: senpai fell harder didnt he

akutagawa: Higuchi.

gin: HIGUCHI OH MY GOD GDKDHDKDJDK IM LOVING THIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

tachihara: something tells me higuchi finally learned to simp for the correct akutagawa

akutagawa: wtf

akutagawa: Stop roasting me.

gin: no <3

tanizaki: are we just going to ignore the fact that atsushi threatens the elderly just so he could be a bit richer by the end of the month????

ranpo: yeah i cant believe you’d exterminate your competition that way atsushi

dazai: to think atsushi would k*ll old ppl for more savings…..

atsushi: WHEHSKSBSKD??????

atsushi: HOW DID THE STORY BECOME THIS EXAGGERATED???

yosano: i guess super savers saturday changes people

kenji: its true what they say

kenji: you’ll only know someone’s true self when presented with limited discounted items on sale

atsushi: i-

mori: the port mafia welcomes u, atsushi

atsushi: uh no thanks

atsushi: BUT I DIDNT K*LL ANYONE OMG

atsushi: all i did was lightly nudge them out of the way a teeny tiny bit

kyouka: “if they fall thats on them” - atsushi, present

chuuya: ATSUSHI GDKSHDKDJDK

atsushi: KYOUKA-CHAN PLEASE HDKDHDKDH

kunikida:

kouyou: What an interesting turn of events.

kouyou: I never expected the weretiger to be capable of such atrocities.

kouyou: He would fit right in with the Port Mafia.

atsushi: stop trying to recruit me hdkdhdkdbd

atsushi: besides im sure president fukuzawa wont allow this

fukuzawa: Taking into account your habit of assaulting the elderly for monetary gain, I’m not quite sure.

atsushi: I DONT DO THOSE THINGS THO BSKSHDKDH

akutagawa: There, there, Nakajima. No one’s shaming you for it.

chuuya: literally everyone is????

akutagawa: Well, I won’t.

atsushi: … thats nice to know

atsushi: BUT I DONT BEAT UP THE ELDERLY TO SAVE SOME MONEY GSKSHSKSHD

atsushi: i dont deserve this slander

dazai: the elderly dont deserve to be punished either but here we are

atsushi:

kyouka: i hope the discounted green tea was worth it

atsushi: ……. it actually was ngl

tachihara: … wait i thought the whole “atsushi going feral over discounted things” was a joke

gin: … you mean it isnt???

higuchi: his statement indicates otherwise….

dazai: its a joke guys

dazai: atsushi’s way too pure for those kind of things

dazai: he’s a cinnamon roll

yosano: too precious for this world

mori: damn it

kunikida: Wait, it was?

tanizaki: we were just teasing him

tanizaki: literally who would believe atsushi of all people world roughhouse the elderly for things on sale

atsushi: right!! hahaha….

kyouka:

hirotsu: That doesn’t sound like it’s just a joke.

ranpo: …. impossible

ranpo: this is atsushi we’re talking about

kyouka: just use ultra deduction and the truth will come to light

chuuya: i dont think thats necessary

chuuya: atsushi wont do that….. right……?

ranpo: oh my god

ranpo: atsushi………

dazai: ranpo what does that mean????

dazai: IM SHAKING

dazai: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

ranpo: i cant do this

kyouka: atsushi is not above getting physical just to snatch that last box of discounted chazuke flavoured ramen regardless of age and/or gender

gin: so its true…

gin: brother-in-law…….

mori: ONE OF US ONE OF US!!!!

tachihara: even the port mafia wouldnt stoop so low…

atsushi: OK I ADMIT

atsushi: i did… lightly push away that middle aged guy as he was reaching for the ramen

atsushi: BUT THAT WAS ONE (1) TIME

atsushi: and he wasnt even that old!!

atsushi: i think he’s about hirotsu-san’s age

atsushi: and!!!! he already snatched 3 boxes!!!!!!! 

atsushi: greed is a worse crime, right?

hirotsu: I’m flattered that you think I’m not that old, Atsushi. Many people think I’m older than my age because of the way I dress. I just reached my 50s!

tachihara: so half a century

tachihara: thats nowhere near middle aged atsushi!! he’s at least 3 quarters in or wtv

tachihara: thats old alright

hirotsu: … 

kenji: kyouka, how light was atsushi’s light pushing?

kyouka: i think atsushi intended it to be light

kyouka: but you know how the tiger is

yosano: oh my god

dazai: no….

chuuya: son…. how could you….

kunikida: Nakajima Atsushi….

ranpo: u didnt tell us the other reasons, atsushi

higuchi: other reasons?

tanizaki: HE HAS MULTIPLE REASONS TO JUSTIFY ELDERLY SHOVING???

ranpo: now now hear him out

atsushi: its okay, ranpo-san

atsushi: they dont have to know… 

ranpo: nonsense

ranpo: i will not let this slander continue!

ranpo: so the dude atsushi shoved was being degrading towards the other middle aged ladies there bcs apparently his go-to technique to wrestle some discounted goods was to insult his way to the front

ranpo: we all know that middle aged ladies are a Force to be reckoned with so really that dude dug his own grave

ranpo: he was about to be m*rdered if atsushi didnt shove him out of the way

ranpo: so yeah atsushi did it it bcs a) he wants the chazuke ramen b) to save the old man from death at the hands of angry middle aged ladies and c) to punish the man for being so sexist in the first place (without letting him be killed)

dazai:

dazai: im so proud of you @atsushiii

chuuya: omg why didnt u tell us sooner we wouldve understood!!

akutagawa: Nakajima would rather sacrifice his image than outwardly give himself some credit.

kunikida: I’m usually against violence but you did well on this.

kyouka: ohhhhh so that’s why

gin: PHEW IM RELIEVED

mori: …. slightly less sinister than what i hoped but ONE OF US!! ONE OF US!!!!

fukuzawa: I think not. @morithemafiaboss

yosano: atsushi standing up for women! a concept i can get behind

kenji: well that doesnt change the fact that u struck down the elderly but we’re willing to overlook that fact! :D

atsushi: uh… thanks guys….? i think???

kenji: no problem!! :D

 

11.56 p.m.

yosano: i want a gf

kouyou: Mood.

yosano: omg we-

yosano: our minds,,,

kouyou: You know what they say.

kouyou: Great minds think alike.

yosano: amen to that

dazai: whos gonna tell um

chuuya: shut up dazai

kouyou: Tell us what?

chuuya: nothing :)

yosano: when dazai’s involved its almost always never nothing

kouyou: True. He’s always up to mischief one way or another.

yosano: mischief is putting it lightly

kouyou: Unfortunately.

dazai: omg theyre bonding :’)

chuuya: over insulting u lmao

dazai: ah the sacrifices one has to make for love to thrive

chuuya:

chuuya: why do i even bother sometimes

akutagawa: If we were normally functioning members of society, we wouldn’t have joined the Port Mafia or the Armed Detective Agency.

gin: oof felt

tachihara: this is so sad

higuchi: true…

hirotsu: You may be right, but life isn’t that bad despite how screwed up we are inside.

kunikida: I agree. The sense of fulfilment I feel when I manage to stick by my ideals in times of need could not be experienced elsewhere. 

yosano: tea!

yosano: still want a gf tho

ranpo: is this going to be another atsushi situation

atsushi: HDKDHK I BREATHED???

yosano: nah im not in denial

atsushi: [clown emoji]

ranpo: so this is your method huh

yosano: its not perfect but its getting somewhere

dazai: need help?

yosano: absolutely not from you

gin: i feel like im missing an important piece of the conversation right in front of my eyes

higuchi: the way they can just,,, talk about their secrets in plain sight knowing full well most of us wont get it,,,,, the ADA’s something else

chuuya: to be fair, dazai’s shameless, atsushi’s clueless and ranpo’s guy isnt even in the chat

chuuya: seems like only yosano is fearless

kouyou: Women.

gin: agreed

yosano: aw guys u flatter me too much <3

akutagawa: any coin laundry recommendations?

dazai: ?????

chuuya: so it should be alright

atsushiii > Akutagawa

 

atsushiii: u can do ur laundry at my place

Akutagawa: what

atsushiii: i know u’re tired and stuff

atsushiii: u’re not even using ur proper punctuation facade in the group chat

Akutagawa: … and you’d let me come over and do laundry because you think i’m tired……?

atsushiii: u dont have to if u dont want to omg

Akutagawa: i have no qualms with it

Akutagawa: just

Akutagawa: why?

atsushiii: idk

atsushiii: ig one does weird things past 2 am

Akutagawa: i suppose so

Akutagawa: … alright then

Akutagawa: i’ll see you in a bit

Akutagawa: thanks atsushi

Chapter Text

11.56 p.m.

dazai: this is random but

dazai: if we were normal functioning people, what jobs would yall be doing

dazai: or well

dazai: what degrees will u be studying

chuuya: that… actually is quite random

chuuya: are you okay?

dazai: im fine

dazai: why do u ask?

chuuya: its just… sus

chuuya: its ok u can dm me about it later if u dont want the others to know

chuuya: moving on….. i think i would’ve wanted to be a singer tbh

chuuya: like the ones in bands that play in underground bars or sumn

dazai: u… can sing?

chuuya: yes?

dazai: sing for me later

dazai: please?

chuuya: okay….. 

chuuya: i answered ur question. what about u?

dazai: me?

dazai: hmmmmmm

dazai: i’d be unemployed probz lol

atsushi: ooo!!! i’d want to study literature!!

akutagawa: I’d like to study literature.

atsushi: omg akutagawa we-

atsushi: our minds,,,,,

akutagawa: Maybe we still would’ve met under different circumstances. 

akutagawa: Interesting.

kyouka: well i’d still be in middle school….

kenji: me too!!!

kenji: omg kyouka we could’ve been schoolmates!

kyouka: but you live in the countryside, kenji

kenji: maybe i’d move for school!

kyouka: maybe

yosano: i’d be a doctor, obviously

kunikida: I would return to my previous occupation. Someone needs to teach the younger generation the right ideals.

ranpo: i’ll still be the world’s greatest detective so nothing much would’ve changed.

fukuzawa: And I’ll still be running the Agency.

tanizaki: hmmm i’ll probably go for an art degree

tachihara: that suits u

tachihara: u know with light snow and all that

tanizaki: thanks!

tachihara: np

tachihara: hmm i’ll probably do engineering? chemical engineering? 

gin: oof thats rough

gin: i’ll do a degree in business

higuchi: same!!

gin: we-

higuchi: ugh look at us!

hirotsu: I’d like to run a nursery.

hirotsu: I feel the need to take care of rowdy kids.

tachihara: that was a jab at us wasnt it @gin

gin: it sure was

kouyou: Hmm. I’ll probably be a florist.

kouyou: That, or I’ll run a crepe stand so that Kyouka can come whenever she wants to.

kyouka: :D

kouyou: :)

kajii: a researcher for me, definitely

dazai: what wholesome dreams omg :’)

mori: i’d still be the boss of port mafia lol

dazai: … except u :|

 

10.24 a.m.

kyouka: i dont think atsushi’s single anymore

gin: WHAT

chuuya: HOW

dazai: did they finally get together????

ranpo: wow thats fast

akutagawa: … he isn’t?

dazai: wait what

dazai: … u’re still single akutagawa?

akutagawa: Yes.

ranpo: that cant be right

ranpo: yall should be un single together

akutagawa: … Things seldom work out in reality.

akutagawa: I’m used to it.

gin: ryuu…. 

gin: im getting us a tub of fig ice cream tonight my treat!!

higuchi: senpai do u need me to do any of your paperwork?

akutagawa: It’s fine.

akutagawa: I’ll get over it.

 

12.45 p.m.

atsushi: ?????? kyouka-chan???????

atsushi: what makes u say that???

atsushi: im still single????

gin: @Akutagawa

higuchi: @Akutagawa

mori: @Akutagawa

dazai: @Akutagawa

kyouka: ??? but the other night u said something about a man entering ur apartment????

chuuya: ATSUSHI

yosano: how scandalous!!

ranpo: … i see how it is

ranpo: chill peeps its all g

gin: wait kyouka-chan

gin: wouldnt u know who it was since u guys live together?

kyouka: oh no i moved out a while ago

kyouka: so no i wouldnt know if it wasnt for atsushi’s text

akutagawa: Oh.

gin: ryuu….

atsushi: OH

atsushi: HIM

atsushi: WAIT

atsushi: WHY WOULD U THINK WE’RE DATING???

kyouka: u were freaking out about him calling u by ur name? and then u suddenly announced that he showed up at ur house at 3 am in the morning ????

atsushi: KYOUKA-CHAN

atsushi: wait… u didnt know who i was talking about?

akutagawa: Oh.

gin: ryuu….?

chuuya: he’s finally lost it huh

kyouka: what? u asked me why i assumed that way so im offering u my explanation..?

kyouka: its not as if the guy is in this chat

kyouka: …. and was i supposed to know who you’re talking about??

kyouka: wait

kyouka: WAIT JUST A MINUTE

kenji: oooh its rare to see kyouka type in all caps

kajii: its even rarer to see u in this groupchat my friend

kenji: that is also quite true, friend

chuuya: wait…. 3 am…… the other night………..

dazai: oh so thats whats going on

gin: ????? am i the only one clueless?????

tachihara: i just read the gc and im as clueless as u

higuchi: is there a cause for celebration? why does senpai look… quite pleased?

chuuya: i knew it

kyouka: oh god

gin: ohhh!!!

tachihara: ???? helloo??????

tanizaki: wait i dont get it???

mori: these bitches gay

mori: good for them

dazai: HDKSHDKDH

chuuya: LMAOOOO

tachihara: someone dumb it down for me

tanizaki: me too

tanizaki: i dont want to read between the lines

kouyou: From what I understood, Atsushi-kun is still single. The man aforementioned caused quite the misunderstanding but he is not the weretiger’s secret lover. Based on contextual clues, it is safe to assume that the man isn’t a threat to our bet. In fact, the man is Akutagawa himself.

tachihara: thanks kouyou-san!!

tanizaki: thank you!!

yosano: omg your mind is so sexy

kouyou: Why, thank you. Your mind is sexy as well.

higuchi: akutagawa senpai went to nakajima’s house at 3 am in the morning??????

kenji: oh!! so thats what happened

kenji: does this mean atsushi was freaking out over akutagawa calling him… atsushi?

atsushi: GDKSHS WHY ARE YOU DRAWING ATTENTION TO THAT STATEMENT GDKDHDKD

kajii: that also means… atsushi-kun talks about akutagawa with kyouka

hirotsu: This must be a regular occurrence then.

akutagawa: That’s cute of you. @atsushiii

atsushi: GDKSHSKSHS SHUTTT

dazai: akutagawa-kun, you’re not off the hook either~

akutagawa: What do you mean? 

dazai: all of us saw how you reacted when you thought atsushi had a boyfriend

atsushi: hah!! take that akutagawa!!!

akutagawa:

atsushi: wait

atsushi: u sounded kinda….

akutagawa: Bye.

atsushi: disappointed that i had a shot at love?

akutagawa: what

atsushi: damn akutagawa i know we had history w all the stabbing and breaking bones and what not but u dont want me to find happiness??

akutagawa: That’s not what I meant…

atsushi: then what did u mean?

akutagawa: It’s not that I don’t want you to find happiness, Atsushi. I really do. You of all people deserve it.

akutagawa: It’s just…

atsushi: just…?

akutagawa: … nevermind.

atsushi: dont

atsushi: dont do that

atsushi: please

atsushi: or i’ll get the wrong idea

akutagawa: Wrong idea?

atsushi: i might think you’re disappointed… because… you like me or something… hahaha….

akutagawa: Before I answer that, where are you right now?

atsushi: ????

atsushi: the cafe, why?

akutagawa: Great. I’m just in the area actually. I’ll head there right now.

atsushi: wait i dont get it???

akutagawa: It’s simple. You’re right. I do like you. A lot.

atsushi: what….

akutagawa: And before you figure out how you feel, I guess we should make out so that we could win the bet.

atsushi: WHAT

akutagawa: Are you opposed to it, Atsushi?

atsushi: …. not…. really….. 

akutagawa: Perfect.

dazai: goodbye chuuya’s life savings!

ranpo: and atsushi’s too!!

mori: GOD DAMN IT MY $300 

chuuya: IS THIS ALLOWED????? IS THIS REALLY ALLOWED??????

 

12.34 p.m.

atsushi: uh dazai-san if u dont mind me asking

atsushi: how did that actually happen?

dazai: i dont mind at all atsushi-kun!

dazai: finally……….. im the centre of attention!!

dazai: but there isnt really a cool backstory as to why i ended up in this predicament

dazai: just… fyodor really

kunikida: Him again?

kyouka: ugh i cant stand him

kenji: me too!! :D his personality is awful and i hate the way he thinks :D

tachihara: ngl the smiley face creeps me out it feels threatening for some reason

kenji: hehe thank you!

dazai: OK MAKING IT ABOUT ME AGAIN

dazai: so yeah i was just minding my business, roaming the streets of yokohama

kunikida: Not doing your paperwork, I assume?

dazai: u r correct! not doing any paperwork at all!!

dazai: ANNIE WAZE AS I WAS SAYING

dazai: i was peacefully roaming the streets of yokohama when this mf just comes up and,,, ya know,,, stabbity stab stab

yosano: wtf… 

atsushi: tbh i was gonna let the whole “not doing paperwork meaning atsushi has to do it” thing slide but that end part of ur sentence just… isnt it

akutagawa: Dazai-san. With all due respect, maybe if you did your own paperwork you wouldn’t have been stabbed.

gin: RYUU HDKDHDKD

higuchi: OH MY GOD AKUTAGAWA SENPAI

tachihara: holy shit did akutagawa just…. stand up to dazai??????

tachihara: FOR SOMEONE ELSE’S SAKE??????

gin: IM SO PROUD OF U ITS ABOUT TIME 

atsushi: did… akutagawa do that…. for me??????

akutagawa: Don’t flatter yourself, weretiger.

atsushi: wtf why are you back to calling me weretiger again????

kyouka: its bcs he’s panicking i think

gin: u r absolutely correct

gin: thats his default defense mechanism

gin: hurt them before they hurt u

atsushi: ??? we’re literally d*ting tho???

yosano: lol atsushi why’d u censor the word dating

atsushi: … i cant say it

yosano: dating?

atsushi: nOT TOO LOUD

yosano: we r literally texting theres no volume

atsushi: BUT STILL HDKDHDJ

atsushi: its.. kinda hard to believe

kunikida: Hard to believe that you are romantically involved with Akutagawa?

atsushi: HDKSHD DONT JUST SAY THAT

atsushi: but… yeah

akutagawa: What’s so difficult about it, Nakajima?

atsushi: ooh ok nakajima is better than weretiger i suppose hdjd

gin: hes recovering

atsushi: good for him

akutagawa: Don’t deflect.

atsushi: dhksh damn it

atsushi: ok FINEEE

atsushi: to be fair i wasnt even aware i liked u until… well ….. u know……

akutagawa: Until I had my tongue down your throat?

atsushi: GDKDHSKSB SHUT UP

yosano: GET IT ATSUSHI

tanizaki: OH MY GOD I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT

gin: RYUUNOSUKE TOO MUCH INFORMATION 

tachihara: thats absolutely disgusting………. wish that was me

kyouka: yes secure that port mafia salary atsushi 

kouyou: My, my, youngsters these days.

hirotsu: Ah, how fast the youth have grown. It makes me feel older than I really am.

tachihara: nah u’re just old period <3

hirotsu:

akutagawa: Well?

atsushi: GDKDHS ok yeah until.. that. 

atsushi: and then all of it suddenly made sense??

atsushi: i experienced,,,,, as what people these days call it,,,,,,,,

atsushi: the oh moment

akutagawa: The oh moment?

atsushi: u know… the moment when u’re bestowed with Enlightenment and then you Realise every single thing u’ve failed to realise before and then suddenly everything’s so obvious and u kinda feel like an idiot for not noticing it earlier?

atsushi: yeah that moment

atsushi: i didnt even have to pine next thing i know we’re together

atsushi: not that im against it or anything i could do without the #slowburn #250k #enemiestolovers #lightangst #itgetsworsebeforeitgetsbetter

atsushi: but yeah…. it kinda just happened

atsushi: i need time to process things

atsushi: its not everyday that someone like you actually falls for someone like me….

akutagawa: Someone like me….?

atsushi: hdkshjs  u know……

akutagawa: No, I don’t.

atsushi: you’re really going to make me say it huh

akutagawa: … 

atsushi: gdjd fine

atsushi: u know… strong, smart, powerful, handsome… all that shit

akutagawa: That’s what you think of me?

atsushi: yeah…… or else i wouldnt have let u bdjd u know

akutagawa: Oh.

akutagawa: …. oh.

tachihara: that was disgustingly sweet

tachihara: i want that

tanizaki:

yosano: hm now that i think of it… the only ppl that got together in this chat went from enemies to lovers…..

yosano: want to venture that trope with me? @Kouyou

kouyou: I would love to. :)

yosano: great!! does friday 7 pm work for you?

kouyou: Even if it didn’t, I’ll make it work for me.

kouyou: Take note. @morithemafiaboss

mori: yeah yeah go and be gay

kouyou: Thank you.

gin: i feel like any ADA x PM couple is literally enemies to lovers

yosano: oof also ada x guild

yosano: wink wink nudge nudge

ranpo: … 

ranpo: OK AND

yosano: hey if atsushi could do it so can u

atsushi: i feel like i should be offended by that….

atsushi: but yeah yosano’s right

atsushi: dazai-san’s in the middle of stage 2 preparations

kunikida: Speaking of that waste of bandages, where is he now?

chuuya: oh dw hes safe

chuuya: i took him home and bandaged his wounds

chuuya: then knocked him tf out for being stupid

chuuya: so thats why hes not in the gc rn

kunikida: Right. Thank you for dealing with him.

chuuya: np… someone’s gotta do it right?

kunikida: Yes. You have my utmost respect for that.

chuuya: as do you. heard that he gave u lots of shit as his work partner.

kunikida: Unfortunately.

chuuya: condolences man

chuuya: if u ever need someone to trashtalk him with just hmu

kunikida: I’ll consider it.

chuuya: great!

kenji: wow dazai-san really brings people together by being the subject of insult. what an amazing guy!!

 

9.26 am

dazai: ugh my impact!

dazai: also

dazai: i cant believe we’ve never discussed this before but

dazai: what r yall’s hogwarts houses???

dazai: im a slytherin for obvious reason

atsushi: uh ive never really taken the quiz before…. so im not sure

dazai: its ok atsushi everyone here knows u’re a gryffindor

atsushi: :O

dazai: i think shorty pants here is gryffindor too

chuuya: stfu dazai i spent all night tending to ur wounds i dont deserve this slander

akutagawa: I’m a Slytherin.

gin: omg a gryffindor x slytherin couple we love to see it!!

dazai: thanks gin!

gin: not u

dazai: right

gin: neways!! im a ravenclaw

higuchi: gin!! oh my god literally SAME

gin: we’re destined, u and i. theres literally no other explanation.

kenji: what’s a hogwarts house? :O

kajii: !!!! no friend of mine should remain uneducated about this!!

kajii: basically in harry potter (a book series) the students there get divided into 4 houses (ravenclaw, slytherin, gryffindor, hufflepuff) based on their personalities, motivations, aspirations etc

kajii: slytherins are for the ambitious, cunning people, gryffindors are for the courageous (altho sometimes misplaced, ie nakajima atsushi), ravenclaws are, to put it simply, for the intellectuals (ie me) and hufflepuffs are the loyal, patient, hardworking ones

kenji: oh!!!

kenji: so if im understanding things correctly, im…. a hufflepuff?

kajii: yes that’s right!! and im a ravenclaw

kenji: thats amazing!

atsushi: GDKDHDK WHY DID I GET SLANDERED IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS EXPLANATION I-

akutagawa: He’s right, though. Sometimes you’re too stupidly courageous for your own good.

kyouka: hmm based on that explanation i think i’d be in slytherin

kyouka: i’d love to be in the same house as atsushi but i dont think gryffindor’s for me… they’re too straightforward for my liking

kouyou: I’m glad you think so, Kyouka, for I am a Slytherin. Straightforward methods just don’t work out for people like us. We pride in proper organisation and flawless plan execution.

yosano: how sexy of you

yosano: omg we’ll make another slytherin x gryffindor couple!!

yosano: altho some might think im better suited for ravenclaw but i disagree

yosano: im not a knowledge stan like kajii. i’d prefer more action than strategic planning

tanizaki: im more of a stealth guy but im not highly ambitious as the people in slytherin…. 

tanizaki: unless that involves naomi……. i’d literally fight the world if that’s what it takes

tanizaki: so maybe im a hufflepuff….?

tanizaki: naomi would be in hufflepuff too…. or maybe gryffindor hmm

dazai: how slytherin of you

dazai: yeah hufflepuffs are loyal but they’re loyal to people in general? like personal connection or not, they’ll trust u (which isnt a bad thing sometimes)

dazai: slytherins are extremely loyal too but only towards the people they care about (eg close friends, family)

dazai: they quite literally dont care about people who arent close to them (which also isnt a bad thing)

dazai: given the circumstances, u’d betray the ADA for naomi, wouldnt u?

tanizaki: i-

ranpo: hdkd lmao its ok tanizaki wbk and we still accept u for it

tanizaki: oh

tanizaki: bdkdb well if thats the case then yeah lmao

ranpo: well im obviously a ravenclaw theres no surprise about that

ranpo: poe might be a hufflepuff tho

ranpo: huh maybe i’ll join hufflepuff then

ranpo: i’ll get to be roommates with poe

ranpo: that trumps any forbidden love/star-crossed lovers u slytherin x gryffindor lot have going on

yosano: u cant just join hufflepuff

ranpo: the sorting hat cant beat me i’ll just manipulate it into thinking im a hufflepuff

yosano: right…. 

chuuya: u know its these talks that make me realise how …. unique the ADA are

chuuya: no wonder our raids have never been successful despite u guys having like 10% of our manpower

chuuya: yall arent normal

dazai: thank u!!

kunikida: Wait, what Hogwarts House would I be in?

dazai: take the quiz four eyes no one has time to analyse u

kunikida: I’LL BEAT YOUR ASS THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU, DAZAI. JUST YOU WAIT.

ranpo: well that escalated lol

hirotsu: I suppose I’ll be in Slytherin as well.

tachihara: yeah same

gin: tachi dude i think u’re more gryffindor tho

higuchi: or maybe hufflepuff actually?

gin: NO WAIT HES DEFINITELY HUFFLEPUFF

tachihara: WHEHSKSBSK

fukuzawa: There’s no shame in being Hufflepuff. I’m a Hufflepuff as well.

ranpo: PRESIDENT!!! ugh i knew i joined the right house MY MIND

tachihara: i mean i guess….. hdjdhks

higuchi: not to mention slytherin x hufflepuff is actually the most wholesome pairing ever??

gin: YES OMG LITERALLY!!!! 

tachihara: you guys think so?

tachihara: WAIT

tachihara: GDKSHDK WHAT’S DISCUSSED IN THE BLACK LIZARD CHAT STAYS IN THE BLACK LIZARD CHAT 

gin: whoops

higuchi: totally slipped my mind

dazai: OHOHOHO WHATS THIS

Notes:

OH MY GOD

WHEJKFH I AM SO SO SORRY! it's been close to 5 months??? since i last updated?? whejfkhd ive just been so busy and i kind of forgot i had a fic to update whehfsk but then i decided to open my inbox and i saw the comments on this fic, even after the hiatus(?) and i just though "u know what... its time" and well here we are now hjksh so it really isnt an exaggeration to say that i wrote this update because of u guys hehe <3 so really thank you so much for all your kind comments!!

going forward, i'm not sure if i'll be updating this fic regularly. i can try, but i can't guarantee it'll be consistent so i think i might be ending this fic in a few more chapters :(( on a more positive note, i'm currently working on a multi-chaptered shin soukoku fic! i've learned from my mistakes whefjk so i'll start posting once i've written about 90% of the fic to ensure constant updates. it's a crossover fic ft bnha so if u're a fan of both, here's the fic for u! hehehe it's currently at 45k words (and counting!), so i'll probably have it posted by next month.. maybe...

anyway! thank you so much for all the love and support u've shown this fic. thanks for all the comments!! it literally is my fuel to keep writing wjkfh

as usual, u can scream at me on twitter: @xiaovenrights (i changed my u/n whefjksd)
