Plzzzz can you tell us your Dazatsu headcanons
Ask and you shall receive!
Their "romantic story" was painful for anyone witnessing it. It all started when Dazai first met Atsushi and told him he didnβt "swing that way." However, he quickly regretted it, as not long after, he began to develop feelings for him and started trying to flirt. And flirt he did, so clearly, in fact, that even Atsushi could tell. But because Atsushi assumed Dazai was just being his usual playful self, he didnβt take it as a romantic gesture.
Atsushi tends to sleep at Dazaiβs place every few days. At first, he was a bit concerned about leaving Kyouka alone, but he was reassured him it was fine. After a few nights, Atsushi got comfortable with it, especially since sometimes Kyouka would go to sleepovers with the girls, so she wasnβt always alone. When they do sleep together, Atsushi often reads before bed, while Dazai just lies on top of him. Half the time, Dazai falls asleep on Atsushiβs chest, the only time his insomnia allows him to truly sleep.
Dazai is surprisingly good at forehead kisses, always catching Atsushi off guard. He partially does it on purpose, treating it as a game to see how many times he can manage to sneak one in without Atsushi spotting him first.
They watch fireworks together whenever the chance arises. Dazai loves the lights, and Atsushi loves the sounds, but neither of them will admit that theyβre also watching each other. Thereβs nothing better than the sight of their loved one under the lights.
Atsushi tends to shield Dazai first in combat, even though both of them know Dazai doesnβt need it. Dazai actually finds it very sweet, so he never tells Atsushi to stop. This habit also stems from Atsushi realizing that Dazai hides pain all too well, especially when he drops the dramatics. As a result, Atsushi has learned to check for hidden injuries after every mission.
As it turns out, Atsushi worries heβll never be enough for Dazai. Dazai reassures him in his own strange way, usually with teasing but sometimes with rare, sincere words (Dazai is terrified of vulnerability).
Dazaiβs idea of "comforting" Atsushi more often then not is completely messed up. When Atsushi is feeling down, Dazai shows up with one of his absurdly dramatic pep talks that donβt make any sense but still manage to make Atsushi laugh. βIf life gives you lemons, Atsushi, throw them back at the universe and demand a refund.β It always catches Atsushi off guard and makes him giggle, even when heβs sad.
Dazai deeply hates the idea of Atsushi becoming just like him. He does everything he can to keep Atsushiβs hands "clean," even if it means taking the fall for things himself. He knows itβs an irrational fear, but he canβt let go of it.
They both believe the other saved them, and neither is wrong.
Dazai actually hates baths (partially because he struggles to take care of himself due to depression). Atsushi is the one who has to drag him into the bath sometimes, and on particularly bad days, heβs the one helping Dazai out.
Shopping with them is a disaster. Atsushi is responsible, but Dazai? He canβt be called that. He buys the most absurd, useless things possible... using Atsushiβs money.
They play video games together! Atsushi was horrible at them at first but got much better with practice. Dazai, on the other hand, is a sore loser and cheats.
Atsushi is naturally an early riser, and Dazai? Absolutely not. No matter what, Dazai refuses to wake up before noon unless thereβs a life-or-death situation. Atsushi once tried pulling him out of bed, but Dazai clung to him like a koala and refused to let go. Now, Atsushi just leaves coffee by his bed and lets him sleep.
Atsushi is actually a lot better at cooking than Dazai expected. He once tried making dinner to impress Dazai, and although he got nervous, the food turned out perfect. Dazai always teases that heβs secretly a gourmet chef, but whenever Atsushi offers to cook, Dazai immediately insists on doing something weird, like putting hot sauce on everything. Atsushi still tries to impress him with βnormalβ dishes, though Dazai pretends to hate them, secretly loving them more than he admits.
Atsushi has a soft spot for animals, so naturally, Dazai pretends to be jealous. Every stray Atsushi takes in ends up having a little corner of the apartment, and Dazai canβt help but act slightly put out whenever Atsushi spends too much time with them. Heβll dramatically declare, βI guess Iβm just second to a cat now.β Heβd never admit it, but heβs secretly fond of the animals and often plays with them when Atsushi isnβt looking.
Theyβre both secretly emotional softies, and neither of them will admit it. When Dazai is feeling overwhelmed or down, Atsushi will go out of his way to comfort him, whether itβs making tea or just sitting with him in silence. And Dazai, despite his usual stoic demeanor, always finds himself leaning into those moments.
At the very least those are all of them that I can put down from the top of my head.
