Work Summary:

“I’ll be sure to pass that along to Kyouka,” Akutagawa continues with a sneer as he heads for the porch. His shirt shivers along the backs of his thighs. “Two worlds and you abandon her in both.” The purring stops dead. Atsushi surges upright, coat flaring. “What the hell is your problem? I’m not abandoning anyone in any universe!” “You are always my problem, weretiger, a trial I must endure no matter the reality.” The stupid dressy shirt swirls around him as he pivots. Ruffles engulf his fisted hands. “You and your fucking wish!” “All of us prayed at that shrine, jackass, you can’t blame just me for this.” or: A strange shrine and a mirrored yearning brings Atsushi and Akutagawa face to face with another version of themselves. In the attempt to return home, Atsushi decides the only way to grant their shared wishes, the only way to fix the heartache, is to do it himself—No matter what Akutagawa's problem is.

Chapter 7:

He whips around, instinctively raising his fists, to see- Another boy. Younger than him, he thinks. His hair is uneven, his clothes ragged and torn, just like everyone trapped here. His eyes look tired, despite their wideness at the sight of him. They’re striking nonetheless - a combination of purple and yellow, reminding Ryuunosuke of a sunset. “Who are you?” the boy demands, startling Ryuunosuke from his thoughts. His tone is defensive, and so is his stance, the book that was open in his lap now held up as if it were a shield in spite of its fragility. “My name is Ryuunosuke,” he answers after a moment of consideration.

In the BEAST universe, Ryuunosuke ends up in the same orphanage as Atsushi. This changes everything.

“Oh.” It made sense; no kid with somewhere to go would end up there. “I guess this is better than the streets.” Barely, Atsushi assumed, at least in his own experience… but a terrible roof over your head was better than none. “Debatable.” Akutagawa replied, confirming his suspicions and making him laugh a little.

when the akutagawa siblings come along, atsushi finds real bonds, a chance to freedom, and a crush.
