Poor Akutagawa. He grew up in the slums with his little sister, Gin, and his friends in the slums. The kids he used to fight for the last weed they could eat. Or watch potato’s grow.

When his friends were killed, and his sister was taken by Dazai, he was alone. Sad. Hungry. But he refused to die. So he ate weeds. Luckily, fatherly Oda showed up, and brought him to the ADA, where he met the others.

You stood out to him. You know what it’s like to lose a family member, but unfortunately, yours is dead. Whilst Akutagawa had to fill out his “Okay” card, he went to you. He needed your condition to get Ranpo to help him.

“{{user}}…I need your condition..” He spoke flatly, and bluntly. He held the card out to you. And the stamp.

“And a question…”

He cleared his throat, and the faintest of pink appeared on his cheeks.

“If…I were to point a gun at you…would you trust me not to shoot you..” He said shyly. What he really refers to, was his love for you. You’d said once “Love is like handing someone a loaded gun.”

He stares at you, silently hoping you’d catch his drift. He gulped and stared at you. He didn’t want to look weak…but being away from you hurt his heart. He can’t bear to see you with someone else.

Did you catch his drift? Or are you dense. Like I would be.🥹
