something about Dazai being comfortable enough around Chuuya to be vulnerable and let him see his genuine reactions (especially his genuine shock) as he processes out loud is SO SO IMPORTANT TO ME
plus Chuuya not being shocked to see the genius at work tells us this isn’t the first time he’s seen Dazai actively figuring things out in real time…
the way Chuuya knows Dazai's nervous habits— noticing that Dazai is worried, and subtly checking on him. the way Dazai drops his facade in favor of putting all of his focus into the mental game at hand is such an obvious sign of trust & closeness for someone like Dazai, whose facade is his main form of defense
how they interact with each other in the downtimes when there’s nobody watching…
all i can think is, look how far they’ve come since they were 16 when Dazai couldn’t trust anyone with his plans. how even now, Dazai is always putting up his “all according to plan” front, even with the agency. how Chuuya is the one person we’ve seen him truly drop the mask around, and Chuuya doesn’t bat an eye. even their banter is ongoing, but subdued.
soukoku and their subtle displays of intimacy will be the death of me 💔

Poly!skk Chuuya in nothing but boxers and an apron cooking in the kitchen whilst reader sits on dazais lap, who is lazily draped over their back , all of this after a rough night of yk what👀 bite marks scattered over everyones skin, and reader rewrapping dazais bandages as he murmurs into the nook of their neck
YEAHHH SOFT AFTERCARE FTW
Lazy mornings bc Chuuya gets up at an ungodly hour and drags you two out of bed stumbling and complaining, rubbing your eyes and yawning. Curling up with Dazai on the couch to keep warm because the morning chill is bad without blankets but neither of you want to miss the view. Chuuya's back, arms and legs covered in scars, slashes, a bullet hole or two, muscles shifting smoothly under his freckled skin, his messy hair falling over his shoulder in half undone curls.
Dazai's hands on your thighs or ass, or prodding at the scratches and bruises that litter everything from your knees to your neck while you fix his bandages. Getting rid of his old ones by unwrapping or cutting them off and putting clean ones on him, being careful to not wrap them too tight. Kissing his chest or leaving a new hickey on his shoulder before you cover it all up.

Hello Ian! ♡
I hope you're doing well!
Here's some more Jamil thoughts for you!
Something I don't see a lot of people talk about when it comes to Jamil is the idea of family recipes, more specifically, recipes that only the Viper Family know.
Food that he and Najma grew up having, learning the recipes for himself once he was older. Recipes that have been passed down in the Viper Family for generations.
I would like to imagine he wouldn't make them for Kalim, or even let him know about them, wanting to keep these foods and recipes for himself.
As he gets to know you, his feelings growing and turning to something more, he thinks of these recipes, wanting to share these foods with you.
Foods to be made and had with family. For loved ones.
As much as he tried to deny it, to fight it, he grew attached to you. Not just attached, oh no, he knew in the back of his mind what this was. He wouldn't admit it though, even when he ends up making one of the recipes for himself, wondering if you'd enjoy it as he ate.
It wouldn't be until you two were a couple that it would happen, Jamil offering to make you dinner one day. Perhaps you arrive early, and he asks if you'd like to help him prepare it. (The intimacy of cooking together, Jamil instructing you on a recipe that only he and his family members know) Once it was done and served, you both would sit down to eat, Jamil waiting for you to have the first bite.
Any compliment you give it will have a sense of pride bursting in his chest, a small smile coming to his face. He's radiating with satisfaction as you both enjoy your meal, promising to cook for you again some other time. He already has the next recipe in mind ♡
(It's up to you whether Yuusha knows the importance of the meal, as I can see Jamil either trying to be subtle and downplay it, or him simply saying it's a family recipe and having you figure out the significance of that on your own)
Thank you! ♡
SHEEPPPP I WAS ACTUALLY SOOBBINGGF
MY BRAINNNN ALHDKSJSJSJSKSBXJS
THIS IS SO CUTE I WENT FERAL
i love this headcanon and i’m keeping it in my mind forever
and this reminded me of my silly comic from a while ago
his cooking being basically a love language overall is so AGH
and trusting you enough to share with you something that is very important to him???
i’m positively GNAWING on this so much
anyways i literally couldnt help it i may or may not have spent all day working on this with yuusha and jamil’s dynamic hdkshdjss
So. Care to finally tell me what this is?
It's a Viper Family recipe.
Oh, no wonder. Do you only serve it on special occasions?
I don't think I've had it during any Scarabia parties.
Of course you haven't. This is your first time.
And we don't serve these recipes outside of the Viper Family household.
Oh, that sucks.
After Yuu took another bite, the implication of Jamil sharing this meal with her just hit her in the head that she almost spat out what was in her mouth in surprise.
Yuu and Jamil gave each other a knowing look. The prefect saw that the vice housewarden had a flushed look on his face as he tried to cover it up by sipping casually from his bowl.
Yuu was silent as she tried to rack her brain around what he just said.
Jamil attempted to look unbothered but his slightly shifting eyes and darkened cheeks had betrayed him.
So, do you… understand what this means?
Oh, Yuu definitely understood. It was making her feel flustered, giddy perhaps—happy that Jamil thought of her that way. Enough to consider her…
No. Oh, no. Jamil was making her say it. Oh, she was not going to let her do his work for him.
...
I don't, Jamil.
I would love for you to explain it to me.
Touché. Jamil thought as he set his utensils down with a sigh. Jamil also thought that he could decide to feign ignorance back but he knew it would be fighting fire with fire.
So might as well be direct.
Yuu, I…
(idk i’m out of juice)
(plus i do love me some uncertain endings sometimes)

Your trademark has got to be either really pretty soft water color style drawings, or very close attention to small detail in art. Little hidden things for people to find, subtle environmental storytelling.
Or more broadly: riddlebird
What’s my trademark?
