Atsushi was very nervous.
It was for a very good reason. He was cooking dinner. The difficulties start here because he's not a very good cook. He only started learning recently and everything felt difficult. But still, he wanted to do this. He wanted to do this right.
In his eyes, he had every reason to stress over this dish so much.
First of all, he was being watched. Or admired, that would be a better word, but to him it felt like being watched. Judged. Scrutinized. None of the sort was happening, of course, and the calm steely eyes following him were really just admiring. Gin was happy to be here. She was happy to spend time with Atsushi and spend time admiring him and she was especially happy, maybe even a bit bashful, to know that he wanted to cook for her.
The sight of him, moving around the kitchen frantically, nervous but still seriously focused on the task, was mesmerising. Cute, even. He seemed so dead-set on doing things right, from inviting her over to making dinner for her. She thought, as she watched him from her spot at the table, that she wanted to see this side of him more often. A side that was almost... Domestic.
She's snapped out of her thoughts by Atsushi approaching her apprehensively with a plate in hands. Pasta. It wasn't the hardest thing to cook, but still he looked like he had a whole battle in that kitchen. Sleeves rolled up, face flushed, some flour and milk stains here and there. It didn't matter to her how difficult a pasta should actually be, the effort he evidently put into this was a lot more important.
"Won't you eat too?" She asks when she sees him still standing over her and watching, hands fidgety, as she picks up a fork.
"I'd like to hear what you think first... So I can, you know, maybe fix it." He explains a bit awkwardly, eyes shifting. She bites back a smile. She doesn't want him to think she would ever laugh at his efforts.
Even though it's a bit embarrassing to be watched like that while she's eating, she brings the fork with pasta to her mouth. Her focus shifts away from Atsushi for just a moment and she closes her eyes briefly. It's so good. It's so homemade, as weird as that sounds, and so warm and tasty that she silently decides that this must be her new favourite dish.
"It's so good!" She tells him as much, already reaching for more. When he hears those words he beams at her, bright and suddenly energetic, and at that moment it's like the food magically becomes even more tasty, even more warm and even more her favourite.

Youāve spoken about Dazai ships and Akutagawa ships, when is it my boys turn
Coming right for me, huh XD? In my defense, I've covered some Atsushi ships already!
I've done Dazatsu, AtsuLucy and SSKK, so let's go over the rest of them, okay?
AtsuGin (Atsushi / Gin) - I love this solely for the fact that it would be hilarious and Akutagawa's 13th reason. I think he'd lose his sanity XD. Real talk though, they give me such besties vibeā I definitely see them bonding before Atsushi even dates Akutagawa, and Atsushi 100% goes to Gin for advice and questions to help him in his quest of conquering the Rabid Hellhound's heart. 6/10 rating.
AtsuKyou (Atsushi / Kyouka) - There are things that God did not mean to happen, and this is one of them. I believe they're very much framed as siblings, and more importantly, Kyouka is a CHILD. If she were closer in age, or if they had both matured past their teenage years, it would be an okay ship. The point still remains that the show very much did not frame them in a romantic light, and thus I can't say I appreciate it as a ship. 4/10.
ChuuAtsu (Chuuya / Atsushi) - I think they'd get along great; they both have, at some point, thought of themselves as monsters, they're both very loyal, had a rough childhood thanks to their ability, and they don't do well with being alone. I don't think we've had any interactions between them? I think they would have a very soft, and sometimes sassy, relationship XD. 8/10.
TaniAtsu (Tanizaki / Atsushi) - I know I say I'm a multishipper, but over my cold, dead body. I don't think people understand how attached I am to TaniAku. I don't care what timeline or canon it is, I'm a TaniAku truther and that's the hill I'll be dying on.
I don't think Atsushi has any other notable ships? Sskk is still the superior take, they're literally soulmates ^^
If youāve followed me on Tumblr or Instagram for any amount of time you will have heard me trash talk certain ships (and shippers), and also have heard me say stuff like āI donāt really like any of the popular shipsā āI donāt care about most ships from this fandomā. But ever want to know what I truly think of them? Probably not. In this series, I will be going through the list of ships on the Wiki and giving a detailed opinion on each and every one. Yes, even the crazy ass ones like Atsushi x Chazuke. Iāll be going in the order that is on the website.
Akipoe/ Akiko Yosano x Edgar Allen Poe: This is a ship? I havenāt heard about it in the nearly four years Iāve been around this fandom. Okay. Itās weird because itās like someone took the two most popular people to ship Ranpo with and then took him out of the equation. Itās giving no purpose but to be random. Even in an ot3 it would be dumb, but let me hold off on that because thatās for a different ship opinion. They never interact in canon, but I think theyād be chill with each other since they have a mutual friend. But they wouldnāt be anything more than acquaintances. 1.25/10
Akuhigu/ Ryuunosuke Akutagawa x Ichiyo Higuchi: As much as one member of this ship ships it, I will never be able to ship it. Itās not healthy. #higuchideservesbetter Maybe in a canon divergent scenarioā¦ but even then I donāt think theyād work. I donāt believe in the ātotal opposites attractā theory. I hope Asagiri doesnāt decide to do that thing some writers do, where they seemingly get tired of their work and at the end, just go āthis character likes this other character, even though it was always one-sided, letās make it happen and they get together at the very end in the āepilogueā that shows where they are a few years laterā. 0/10
^her honest reaction to that information
Akukyou/ Ryuunosuke Akutagawa x Kyouka Izumi: The only reason I know this ship exists is because when I first watched BSD I was scrolling through someoneās account and she mentioned a year back (2019) she shipped this years before (2016) and then questioned her past selfās sanity. The people who ship this are 14-year-old girls who like Akutagawa and are using Kyouka as a self insert. -3/10ļæ¼
Akulucy/ Ryuunosuke Akutagawa x Lucy Maud Montgomery: Iām also surprised this is a thing. I saw some fanart of these two in a romantic context a few years ago because the Japanese VAs for the characters married each other, but I havenāt heard of this as a legitimate ship. But I have seen more ot3 art with Atsushi. Now that I think about itā¦ these two arenāt half bad as a ship, as random as it may seem. Iām looking some stuff up of them, and I think they have enough similarities and differences that they could work. But Lucy does have a crush on Atsushi. Itās a good thing BSD aināt a romance anime otherwise this could turn love-triangley real fast. 5/10 EDIT: I have been won over and am now an Akulucy shipper. I know they wonāt be canon, so itās not a serious ship for me. But itās still fun to think about (if they meet under the correct circumstances only then it would work). New ranking 7/10
Where have we heard something similarš¤
Amasawa/ Tatsuhiko Shibusawa x Agatha Christie: Iām also surprised this is a ship. But maybe itās not that unusual since theyāre both characters from Dead Apple. Still really random though. Thereās not any basis for it. Also, wouldnāt this be called Agasawa? 1/10
Angomura/ Ango Sakaguchi x Mizuki Tsujimura: This is probably less random if one has read the Another Story light novel, at least thatās what Iām assuming. I have not read it and so I do not know anything about Tsujimura that was not in Dead Apple (so nothing). I donāt feel qualified enough to rank this because of that. -/10
She looks cool though
Atsuhigu/ Atsushi Nakajima x Ichiyo Higuchi: This ship reads like it was created by someone who does not ship Akuhigu but thinks itās going to be canon, but they donāt like Akutagawa while they do like Atsushi, so they went āI want Atsushi to steal his girl!ā If thatās not the case, I donāt know how this was created. They met once and Higuchi insulted Atsushiās looks š Personality wise I think theyād get along. I donāt see it romantically though. 2.5/10
Atsugin/ Atsushi Nakajima x Gin Akutagawa: This ship makes me teehee evilly. āI ship Atsushi x Akutagawa!ā āAtsushi and Akutagawa are going to end up together!ā Alright well, be careful what you wish for š If thereās some build up later on and itās NOT out of the blue, I would love to see Asagiri go āaight, betā and make them end up together at the very end of the series. I would bathe in the tears of SSKK shippers as I laugh. Despite all that, I donāt exactly ship this. It would be kinda funny in universe too. But I donāt think theyād work. We donāt know enough about Gin though, so I canāt say I like or dislike this until we get to see her a little more. 3/10
Me watching everyone else if there ends up being some build up to the ship and it becomes canon
Atsukyou/ Atsushi Nakajima x Kyouka Izumi: The way this ship gets completely overlooked makes me not fw yāall even more. The age gap is big AT THE MOMENT. Four years wonāt be a lot in just a few years. If you want a ship to be endgame, you want them together for life, a four year age gap is nothing the older you get. Stop thinking of the present and look to the future! Plan ahead! Kyouka does not view Atsushi as a brother she has a crush on him her feelings are literally paralleled to Lucyās! WAKE UP PEOPLE. Even if you donāt ship them when theyāre a little older ADMIT THE TRUTH. THEREāS AN ENTIRE SPREAD DEDICATED TO THEM LOOKING AT EACH OTHERāS EYES WHEN THEY FIRST MEET. The anime adapted it so that everything was blacked out in the background and cherry blossoms were floating through the air! Thatās totally what happens when future adoptive siblings meet šTotally. Totally. AAAAHHHHHH. Anyways, theyāll be great together and this is really the only ship I have in this series and because I donāt want them with each other until theyāre older itās not even a current ship but a future ship. 10/10
Atsulucy/ Atsushi Nakajima x Lucy Maud Montgomery: Theyāre cute together but they wouldnāt work long term. I donāt know how to explain it. If someone else does feel free to add. I do like seeing some (some) of the content people make for this. But at the end of the day, itās just not it. I donāt know what it is that, even seeing how theyāre cute and could work short term, I still donāt have feelings for this ship. My heart is not in it. Maybe itās because I donāt like the tsundere trope, even if it makes sense in Lucyās case since she was mad at him for forgetting her after she saved him. 4.5/10
Unrelated to the gif but theyāve also seen each other naked š³
Atsuteru/ Atsushi Nakajima x Teruko Okura: Why is Atsushi getting all the ladies, whatās happening here? I didnāt know about half of these ships. Do people actually ship this? Probably not anymore after finding out sheās literally twelve šHey, for the majority of your life a six yearā oh thatās right, twelve years is her lifeās majority. Oh well, better luck next time to anyone who shipped this. Although why you would based off what their limited interactions were š¤·š½āāļø -1/10 EDIT: I saw that there was a translation error that made it seem like she was 12 years old but actually she was 12 when Fukuchi found her, which we donāt know the exact date because it said after the War, and the timeline is a little messy. But I do assume sheās an adult now, even if we donāt know how many years ago she was 12. (Asagiri please bring back the character info sheets šš½)
Atsuwells/ Atsushi Nakajima x Herbert George Wells: Her name is NOT Herbert Georgeā¦ is it? Herberta Georgia? Asagiri we need answers. Also I imagined her as being 28, but we donāt have a canon age. Maybe as a future ship this could work? If only we knew more of her character. I canāt say one way or the other about this, but I hope Wells shows up again. 2.5/10
