Headcanon: Atsushi can only fall asleep when he’s either completely exhausted or when he knows he’s safe.
He rarely got a good nights sleep growing up. Something that carried over when he was abandoned to the streets. He’d walk for hours despite having no energy hoping it would tire him out enough.
The first true good night sleep Atsushi had was during a game night with the Agency. Dazai was in the middle of antagonising Kunikida when Atsushi slump forward.
Luckily he only lightly head butted Dazai’s shoulder.
But he didn’t move.
Dazai was going to ask what was up and then noticed Atsushi was knocked out. He got everyone’s attention and Ranpo deduced it was because Atsushi was exhausted.
Kunikida made a note to make sure Atsushi wasn’t overworking himself (hypocrite.) While Dazai attempted to gently pry Atsushi off him. He froze when Atsushi cried out and clung to Dazai’s arm. His whole body shaking with fear.
Ranpo’s grin left his face, he took off his glasses and simply gestured for Dazai to stay.
Dazai frowned but did so. Running a hand through Atsushi’s hair and reassuring him he was here. It was a relief to them all when Atsushi calmed down. Make an adorable chuffing sound as he did so.
Kunikida questioned what was happening and Kenji said he seen animals on the farm act like this. Ones that were injured or had been mistreated by others would act on edge.
But when they found others that made them feel better they’d act more like themselves.
And stick to the others like glue.
And the Agencies were Atsushi’s glue, his safety.
A blanket was wrapped around Atsushi and in the end they all had a sleepover in the living room of the dorm building.
Because after that none of them could bare to leave Atsushi alone right now. And Atsushi had the best sleep he’d had in years.
Dazai: I think this outfit makes me look older :D
Kyouka: But you're already old.
Dazai: EXCUSE ME, WHAT?
Dazai, walking up to look at a dead body: Okay, first of all, big mood.
Atsushi: Dazai, have you ever thought of getting married ?
Dazai: *gay panic* I'm pregnant!
ada: What?
Dazai: It's Chuuya's.
ada: WHAT?
*meanwhile in the pm*
Chuuya, feeling a disturbance in the force: He said something that will get me into trouble, I can feel it!
Fukuzawa: And, as always, here's your weekly reminder that therapy and other psychiatric services are covered by the ada healthcare plan.
Dazai:
Dazai, whispering to Kunikida: Why does he always look at me when he says that?
Dazai: Kunikida and I get along perfectly. Don't we, Kunikida?
Kunikida: I have never been so stressed in my entire life.
Atsushi, seeing the cops marching past:
Atsushi, who has done nothing wrong ever: They're coming for me.
Dazai, currently wanted for 138 murders, 312 cases of extortion, and 625 cases of fraud, along with various and sundry other crimes: Yeah, probably.
Ranpo, first time meeting Dazai about Chuuya: My special abillity says there's a man in your life you're having problems with.
Dazai, angrily: That's an easy guess.
Dazai: I'm clearly an annoying person and have problems with both genders.
Ranpo: Yes, you clearly are.
Yosano: Hey, Dazai, who's your favorite singer or band?
Dazai: I don't really have one.
Yosano: Oh c'mon pretty boy, everyone has one.
Kunikida: It's propably arctic monkeys.
Dazai: Fine. If you really wanna know that bad...it's taylor swift.
Yosano: Who? Gotta speak up.
Dazai: Taylor Swift.
Ranpo: HAH, I KNEW IT! YOU ALL OWE ME FIVE BUCKS.
Dazai: I hope I get run over.
Atsushi: Aww, come on, it's Christmas! Get in the spirit!
Dazai, sighs: Fine, I hope I get run over by a reindeer.
Dazai: How old were you guys when you found out Santa wasn't real?
Atsushi, whispering to Kunikida: How old am I?
Kunikida: You’re 18, Atsushi.
Atsushi, sadly: I was 18.
Dazai: *has music loud while dancing in the middle of the office*
Kunikida, turning down the volume: Get back to work, now Dazai!
Dazai: How dare you, Iago, Backstabber?
Kunikida: I'm surprised you've read Othello.
Dazai: What the hell's Othello? I'm calling you the parrot from Aladdin.
Kunikida: Are you sure you can handle it?
Dazai: Uh, well, let's see;
Dazai: Difficult, last-minute and crucial as hell.
Dazai: Meets all the Dazai criteria.
Ranpo: So, I'm going to grab a healthy breakfast.
Fukuzawa: Are those gummy bears wrapped in a fruit roll-up?
Ranpo: Breakfast burrito but yeah...
Fukuzawa: I pity your dentist.
Ranpo: Joke's on you I don't have a dentist.
Fukuzawa:
Fukuzawa: I'm taking you to the dentist.
Dazai: FUCK THIS, FUCK LIFE. ALL I WANTED WAS TO BE HAPPY. I'M NOT ASKING MUCH. HAPPINESS IS GONE FOREVER. IT FLEW OUT THE WINDOW. FROM NOW ON, MY EMO PHASE COMES BACK...
Atsushi: Oh, Dazai, are you ok?
Ranpo: No. He didn't get eras tour tickets.
