    Summary

    Something horrible in Dazai's past comes back to haunt him in the form of a brown envelope full of pictures.

    He expects to be abandoned and shunned, but for all his precision in foreseeing outcomes, he finds that he is not the best at predicting the emotional reactions of those that care about him.

    ____

     

    Slowly, Dazai bends down and picks one of them up in a shaking hand.

    Kunikida has never seen him like this.

    "I don't understand..." Atsushi is saying, but he stays with Ranpo, Kyouka and Kenji where he is, "What are those pictures? What's going on?"

    Dazai is terrifyingly held together and calm and collected, his eyes half-lidded and hollow, when he gathers them up from the floor and straightens, when he moves towards the desk and sets them by tapping them against the top, and then carefully puts them back in the envelope.

    The silence that follows after is deafening and unbearably long as Dazai stands there with his back to the room, his head bowed, his eyes hidden by his hair.

    "I'm going to kill him," he whispers, so quietly it took Kunikida several seconds to make it out.

    In one swift motion, he turns with the envelope in hand and storms out of the office.

    Summary

    Dazai's a strategist at heart, brain meant for laying traps instead of unraveling them, and while saving people is a noble goal, it's also a deeply boring one. Growing up walking through firefights, creating complex strategies that put his life on the line, dodging graviton bombs to nullify Corruption - he didn't become an adrenaline junkie, exactly, but he became adrenaline dependent.

    Dazai's future at the Agency stretches out before him like the most bland of landscapes and some days it makes him want to just put a bullet in his brain because getting used to that sounds like hell.

    Or, Dazai makes progressively worsening life choices.

    Summary

    Roy is talking to somebody on the phone now, his voice muffled through the door. Lian can hear enough to pick up pieces of the one-sided conversation. She hears the word ambulance, followed by their address. She hears what sounds like a sob at first, but it can’t be that. Lian’s dad would never cry like that.

    She hears, My husband tried to kill himself, and then, brokenly, Hurry.

    Summary

    Kinktober Day 21: Edging

    “It’s fucking humiliating and you– you deserve so much better.”

    Steve sits up, brow furrowed as he curls himself around Eddie’s slouched form.

    “Eddie,” he says simply, pressing a kiss into his bare shoulder. He wraps his arms around Eddie’s middle, holding him close as he just keeps peppering soft kisses into his skin. Eddie takes a deep breath, holding it for a moment before releasing it slowly, melting back into Steve’s hold.

    “I know,” he mumbles, nuzzling his head against Steve’s. “I’m being stupid. I just don’t know what to do.”

    Steve is quiet for a while, running his lips over Eddie’s shoulder and neck soothingly as he clutches him to his chest. Eddie relaxes further into the embrace, letting Steve comfort him the best way he knows how, treating the older man as if he’s delicate, something to be cherished.

    “You know,” Steve starts, the hint of a smirk growing on his face. “I have an idea. Do you trust me?”

    OR

    Eddie's having trouble lasting in the bedroom and Steve's got a plan.
