I know we joke a lot about fast Dazai fell for Chuuya but honestly, I get it. Dazai spends who knows how long just wanting to die, not caring about life, not feeling human, only doing this job because he was promised a painless death at the end. And then he meets this loud cocky brat, who literally sparkles in Dazai's eyes, and he's so alive, he cares so much, he's wiling to be hated by the only family he's ever had to keep them safe. Of corse he was obsessed. He met someone who was so full of life and humanity the poor guy never stood a chance. It's part of why I love describing Chuuya from Dazai's point of view, he always looks beautiful. Could be beaten half to death and the way he's still so clearly alive would be borderline etherial.
recently read the stormbringer lightnovel and "walking in on chuuya spinning dazai around in a warehouse" was a mental image i just couldn't get out of my head. So i had to draw it :')
i think that there arent enough fics about anyone saving chuuya from himself. wheres my chuuya throwing himself into fight after fight after fight?? wheres him using repeatedly throwing his life away? hed do it i know he would
