✧₊˚.⋆ your life in bungo stray dogs for @sideblogforoya ⋆⁺₊✧
In Yokohama, the metropolis where hidden dangers lurk in the dark alleys, and supernatural beings coexist with regular folks, you lead a relatively calm life without even realizing how extraordinary you actually are. After graduating from school, you entered the Institute to become an engineer and contribute to the general comfort of people's lives. Additionally, you got a part-time job at the cozy cafe "Uzumaki" to earn some extra income as well. What you didn't know at the time when you applied to work, however, was that you ended up getting involved in the affairs of the Armed Detective Agency.
When you first began working at Cafe Uzumaki, you had no clue that these eccentric people who frequent the cafe daily possessed rather dangerous abilities. As well, you were unaware that various questionable individuals from the military police to gangsters often visit this place. But it was they who sparked the awakening of your abilities.
One day some members of Port Mafia, specifically the Black Lizards, launched a surprise attack on the office of the Armed Detective Agency that was located above your cafe. Despite the customers' panic due to the gunfire, you did your best to remain calm and worked on finding a way to protect everyone inside. Before you realized it, strange golden letters burst out of your body, swelling into a dome that enveloped the hall of the cafe, shielding the people inside from danger.
As soon as the Agency dealt with the Black Lizards, you learned about transcendental abilities from them and received an offer to become a part of their Agency. Being a rational person, you took time to think about their invitation. After all, you didn't want to refuse your passion so easily. In the meantime, you took on the role of their unofficial member, always there to support them whenever possible and to shield them as needed. It was the moment when you realized that your life may not be as simple as it could be anymore. Everything became even more complicated when you encountered an injured man covered in the black coat who had stumbled onto your home.
⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ PROFILE⟢ ABILITY USER
✧ Affiliation: Cafe Uzumaki
✧ Ability: Under the Dome
・✧ Reference: "Under the Dome" by Stephen King
・✧ Classification: Close to Medium Range
Under the Dome allows you to emit a strong barrier around yourself shining with the golden letters. It serves you as a shield from any attacks, because neither atomic bomb nor any other ability can break this barrier apart. The sole exception is Dazai and anyone else with a skill or item capable of nullifying others' abilities. But even they must work hard to find you because the barrier can blend into its surroundings, thus making you and anyone else inside invisible. The barrier works very well as an element of surprise, when you make yourself and others disappear all of a sudden.
Unfortunately, you are not allowed to move and maintain the barrier at the same time, so it's only the matter of time when your disguise will be broken. Only if your enemy knows what they are looking for, of course. And even if they manage to find you, it remains unclear whether they can get you out of the barrier or not.
A further advantageous feature of Under the Dome is its healing capacity, enabling it to treat various physical external injuries in you and others inside the barrier. Though the ability is highly useful, it has some limitations. Unfortunately, it is unable to heal internal injuries and illnesses or bring dead people back to life. As already mentioned, you cannot move outside the barrier and allow others to come in without breaking it. The time of maintaining the barrier is limited to fifteen minutes, but it's more than enough to heal all wounds of people inside.
⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ YOUR MATCH IS⟢ AKUTAGAWA RYUUNOSUKE
♡ Ryuunosuke started feeling attracted to you from the moment you healed his wounds, when he, at death's door, stumbled onto your home by the will of fate. He was nothing more than a mad dog of Port Mafia; his life was of no value. Despite this, when the barrier of sparkling golden letters enveloped him, Ryuunosuke experienced what humans' warmth and kindness mean for the first time in his life. Initially, these feelings were unpleasant and strange to him. Trying to bury this warmth deep inside along with the memories of your first meeting, Ryuunosuke avoided you like the plague. But all his efforts went down the drain as soon as he met you again, and extinct feelings flamed up with new strength. Oh, he totally screwed up.
♡ The growth of your relationship was very slow-burning, because neither Ryuunosuke nor you tend to realize and accept your feelings, let alone being the first to confess. However, with the help of your friends and family, the two of you finally get together. Ryuunosuke still can't wrap his head around the fact that someone like you, accepting a monster like him, would give him your love. Without realizing it, you became his reason to live, the ray of light in the darkness of his life. You don't pamper him, but offer him your boundless support. You understand his reluctance to show vulnerability, and patiently wait for him to open up. In his turn, Ryuunosuke acts as your silent protector who never allows anyone to touch a single hair on your beautiful head. He's like a big and scary dog, who is endlessly devoted to his gentle owner.
♡ At first, the two of you seem like an unlikely couple. Many people still wonder what you like about this monster. Despite this, Ryuunosuke gives you this quiet understanding and emotional intimacy you need the most in a relationship. Your bond is built through a slow process of learning to trust each other, at a pace that suits you both. Ryuunosuke is not easily swayed by romantic feelings, but he clings to them with unwavering commitment once he finds them. In terms of romantic relationships, his experience is zero, yet he surprisingly does his best to make you happy in his own way. Reading in a comfortable silence, protecting you if anyone makes you feel uneasy, peaceful dates in nature, picnics and stargazing, little gifts that remind him of you, all these sweet gestures speak louder than any words.
♡ While Ryuunosuke expresses his love in the time he devotes to you only, and in the tiny acts of service that show how much he actually treasures you, this scary guy literally melts into a puddle every time you shower him with the words of affirmation. He literally lives for your praise, and grows addicted more and more with each passing day. If you gave him some headpats in addition, he would be ready to die without regrets. Despite his intimidating demeanor, Ryuunosuke is just an extremely touch and affection starved child in soul; all he truly seeks is acceptance and love. Of course, at first it doesn't come easy. Ryuunosuke never loved and never received affection. Your relationship is an endless struggle because he is afraid and thinks that he doesn't deserve you. But all this is worth it, as you have the most devoted lover who understands you better than anyone else.
♡ The admiration Ryuunosuke feels for you is boundless. In his eyes, you are the most amazing person in the world, even greater than Dazai. While his old mentor gave Ryuunosuke reason to live, you brought something more special, more valuable in the darkness of his existence. You showed him love, and affection, and the warmth of someone's embraces, and the smell of home, and what living, not surviving or existing as an empty shell means. You gave Ryuunosuke something that he didn't even realize how desperately he craved until he met you, making him feel addicted to your presence. He loves listening to you, whenever you talk about things you find interesting, about the cosmos, about engineering, everything. Perhaps, someday, Ryuunosuke might leave the mafia, find a peaceful place with you, and dedicate his entire life to you.

⟢ AKUTAGAWA GIN is your sister figure. As soon as she found out about Ryuunosuke's feelings for you, she became the main supporter of your relationship, doing her best to get you and her brother together. If you put her dangerous work aside, Gin is just a girl who likes dressing up and sweets. The two of you became friends even before you revealed the truth about abilities and their users. At first, she was just a loyal customer of Cafe Uzumaki, who came to you to have some tea with sweets. As time passed, Gin grew into your closest friend, your sister with whom you could share all your secrets and deepest thoughts. Even though Gin knows that you are more than capable of protecting yourself and the people around you, she still can't help but worry about you. That's why every time the two of you hang out together, this seemingly fragile woman turns into an assassin in no time if she feels danger. As already mentioned, Gin is extremely supportive of your relationship with Ryuunosuke. She believes that you are perfect for her brother, and he's perfect for you. Looking at how much happier and calmer Ryuunosuke has become since he met you, Gin desires to protect your love and, in the future, to be recognized as your sister officially.
⟢ NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI has a crush on you. Just a very small puppy-like infatuation, born purely from heartfelt admiration. It’s hard for him not to be captivated by someone as gentle and powerful as you. He frequently watched you from a distance, impressed by how you assisted the cafe, or by your thoughtful support for your friends. Whenever you healed the wounds of the agency members, Atsushi couldn't help but sigh in awe. Though you appeared calm and somewhat stoic, he noticed a depth of kindness within your heart that was more prominent than anything else. Additionally, he's extremely obvious about his feelings, and his cheeks turn so red when you are around. Poor guy! It seems like everyone around is already aware of his feelings for you, teasing him endlessly and encouraging him to confess, while you remain oblivious to his big crush. Unfortunately, Akutagawa was more straightforward about his feelings for you (much to the entertainment of Dazai), and made the first move, leaving Atsushi pining after you from afar. Even with a broken heart, he chose to remain by your side as a friend and protect you from any danger.
⟢ LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY is your coworker and best friend. Despite her seeming blunt manner, Lucy actually enjoys chatting and forming friendships, which was very helpful when it comes to your rather aloof nature. Working at the Cafe Uzumaki together and helping the Agency every day made your bonds grow even stronger. As a person who likes romantic things, Lucy was the one who opened your eyes to Ryuunosuke's feelings for you and made a contribution to your relationship. After work, you and Lucy often take walks together, or spend some time inside Anne's Room where you can hide from the world, chat about everything, or just enjoy comfortable silence. Lucy loves and appreciates that you don't pamper or pity her, supporting and advising her instead. Both of you are strong-minded individuals who have an issue with showing vulnerability in front of others. But now you can rely on each other and trust each other in your deepest turmoils without feeling uncomfortable. Lucy thinks of you as a kind of her older sister and family she never had. Though she expresses her feelings rather awkwardly, she would do anything to protect you and make you happy.
