Work Text:
Akutagawa heard of many shows currently being talked about that we're Netflix exclusive. In order to see what the fuss is about these shows that were apparently that good, he decided to get a Netflix subscription then cancel it when he was done. Once he got home from work that day, he sat on his couch and went through everything billing-related, then quickly realized that he had to make a password for his account. That's a problem, I don't have a password that wouldn't be easy to guess. The man thought puzzledly.
Akutagawa thought and thought before carefully putting in "Atsushi" as his password, reasoning that he wouldn't forget it and no one would think to guess it. Satisfied, he finished the process and clicked the first thing recommended to him.
Ryunosuke had Netflix for about 2 weeks at this point and was quite happy with his subscription. He got home one night, turned on his TV, and was surprised to see another profile had been added to his account. "What?" He thought aloud in confusion. Right next to his profile was another one with the default pink face with the name "Gin" under it.
I never told her that I made an account? How did that happen? He then grabbed his phone to text his sister.
Ryu: How did you know I had a Netflix account and how did you get into it?
He set his phone down and waited. 5 minutes later he got a response.
Gin: I overheard you watching [insert show only available on Netflix] when we talked on the phone last.
Ryu: What about the login info?
Gin: You don't have a personal email because you wouldn't do shit with it so I used your business email. As for the password, I guessed it after the second try. If it makes you feel any better I tried your name before his.
Ryu: Is it really that obvious?
Gin: Yes.
Gin: If you ever decide to come out the closet no one's gonna care, they're gonna look at you like you just said basic addition and want someone to be proud of you for it.
Ryu: I hate you.
Gin: I love you too, big brother.
Akutagawa turned his phone off and put it face down on his coffee table. He made a mental note to get back at her later for that and continued his day.
After Gin hacked into his account he never expected anything else after that. Until one day he found an account right net to Gin's with the name "Chuuya B)"
Gin wouldn't give out information like that so how the hell did he get into my account? Akutagawa sat for a moment before making the horrific realization that he probably found out the password somehow. Quickly he pulled out his phone and went to Chuuya's contact to call him.
"Hello? Akutagawa, did you need something? You don't call me much, what's up?"
The black-haired man sighed deeply before speaking.
"Did you get into my Netflix account?"
"Yeah, why?"
"How did you-"
"I saw you watching it on your phone last Friday and guessed your login info. I'd say it was a lucky guess but it was actually very easy." Chuuya said nonchalantly. "You might wanna change your password too, if Dazai found that out you'd be in deep shit."
"...Thank you for that Chuuya. I'm glad my superior is looking out for me." Ryunosuke said dryly.
"I got the message with the sarcasm thank you, but seriously change your password if you aren't trying to get embarrassed."
"Will do." He hung up the phone immediately after speaking and sighed once again. "I have terrible coworkers." Akutagawa opened Netflix and went to settings and had to once again rack his brain for a password that wouldn't potentially ruin his ability to show his face at work. He suddenly realized that he didn't possess the energy to deal with this at the moment and changed the password to "AtsushiN" hoping people it'd be enough.
2 months had gone by without any issues until he went to put something on to play in the background of his work and found another profile had been added. Oh dear God . Directly following Chuuya’s account which he hadn’t bothered to remove was a new one with the name “Dazai :)” under it. “I don’t think I want to confront this problem. Not now.” he turned off the tv and picked up a book.
Luck wasn’t on Ryu’s side today when 3 hours later he got a phone call from none other than his former mentor. He had half a mind to watch it ring but he knew Dazai wouldn’t stop calling until he answered. Carefully he reached for the phone as if it would bite him and answered it. “Hello, Dazai what do-”
“That’s a nice Netflix password you’ve got there. Dazai said with a smirk in his voice. Despite not being in the room with him Akutagawa could clearly see the shit-eating grin he was most likely wearing in his head. “What do you want from me, Dazai?”
“Well since you asked so nicely, I want you to confess your love to Atsushi!”
“Why would you gain from me doing that?”
“Bragging rights and 150 dollars from Chuuya.
“I’m hanging up the phone now.”
Before he could hear his former mentor say anything else he hung up the phone, then sat on his couch rethinking every life decision that has led up to this moment. “I have made a mistake.” Ryu sat and wondered if he should change the password again. Considering the worst person who could have gotten the password guessed it, he summed it up to no need and hoped he wouldn’t regret it later.
The next day was more taxing than he thought it’d be. Significantly more blood on his nice clean jacket than usual, a lot more screaming, and even more paperwork. When he got home it was almost midnight, he barely had the strength to take off his shoes. He pulled himself to the couch and collapsed on it, lazily reaching for the remote. He suddenly jolted up after seeing that a 5th profile had been added.”Atsushi :]” Akutagawa wasn’t sure if it was him, or Dazai’s idea of a prank but either way he was slightly terrified.
Similar to yesterday he turned off his TV, once again deciding that this isn’t a problem he’d like to deal with and it could wait.
He knew deep inside that putting off the problem wouldn’t do shit but still found himself shocked when his phone rang with none other than Atsushi Nakajima himself calling his phone. I want to die . He thought grimly as he answered the phone. "Hello? Why are you calling me, weretiger?" He said in forced anger. He was honestly scared shitless. "Hey so, do you like, not hate me or something?'
That's one way to approach this situation I suppose. "No. I don't hate you. Why do you ask?"
"Uh. Do you uh...wanna...watch some Netflix sometime…" he said clearly holding back laughter. "I changed my mind. I hate you again." Atushi laughed out loud as Akutagawa grabbed his face in embarrassment. "I'm sorry- I" The white-haired man laughed some more at his rival's situation. "Weretiger, I'm going to hang up the phone and block your number," Ryu said sternly.
Atsushi had finally stopped laughing and caught his breath before finally saying "Ok, but would you wanna go somewhere sometime?"
"Fine." He said as he faked uninterest. "Great talk to you later." Akutagawa got ready to hang up the phone before…"Also, I'm honored to be your Netflix password. I'll remember this for the rest of my life!" Atsushi said dramatically. "I'm going to kill you."
