Glued to Your Side

CW: Spoilers for everything past season 1, clingy Dazai, little bit of angst, brief mention of Oda, Dazai is so so smart but so so dumb, maybe OOC?, hurt/comfort, bad writing - I can’t write dialogue sorry!

Pairings: Dazai x Reader

Author’s Note: I need to stop writing angst so have a fluff piece!  Or at least what was supposed to be a fluff piece.  It turned more into hurt/comfort tbh.  Also I attempted dialogue for this fic but I am BAD at writing any form of speech so sorry for that.  Not proofread also I was very hungover when I finsihed this lmao.

Also! I have a Masterlist now! It only has like 4 works so far but hopefully that’ll change aha.

Masterlist

Ever since you started working at the ADA, your world had been turned on its head.  There was always some sort of strange job to take, or fight to have with the mafia or some other organisation.  However, there was one fact that remained constant since you had become a detective: Dazai Osamu was a flirt.

You were fine with it, even sometimes enjoying some back and forth banter with the living mummy. It was completely harmless, you knew it wasn't going anywhere so it wouldn't get in the way of your professional career. Plus, you knew you weren't the only one subject to Dazai's affectionate teasing, so you knew there would never be anything romantic between you too, meaning you were free to pursue real romance if you wanted to.

At least that's what you thought.

In the weeks following the batte against the Guild, Dazai had been clingier than usual. He made a point of always keeping some sort physical contact with you, whether it was leaning on you while you were sat on the agency's couch (after he dragged you to sit and do work there instead of your desk), or having you walk shoulder to shoulder when you went on jobs.

You guessed the close eye he had been keeping on you had something to do with meeting Q. You had been the agency member tasked with escorting Haruno and Naomi to safety. While the three of you were on the train, after escaping Lovecraft and Steinbeck, you met the small child named Yumeno. They had seemed like a perfectly normal, sweet little kid. The four of you got along and chatted as you waited to reach your stop. Getting off the train, however, was a different story. When Q bumped into Atsushi and activated his ability, your memories got a little fuzzy. It was like a flip switched in Atsushi as he suddenly became violent, lashing out towards Haruno, Naomi and yourself. You quickly jumped in to protect them, bearing the brunt of the attack and being thrown into the walls of the train station. You'd hit your head pretty badly, so you could not fully register the rest of what happened. You vaguely recalled Dazai rushing in and stopping Q's ability and watching the child wave goodbye as the train carried him off. You passed out shortly afterwards.

According to the others, Atsushi had taken Haruno and Naomi to safety, while Dazai took you straight to Yosano.

After the Guild used Q to attack Yokohama, Dazai had been stuck to you like glue. You hadn't minded, you were used to his antics and affectionate behaviour. But a week passed. Then two weeks and still Dazai was fixed at your side. You had begun to get suspicious. While he was clearly putting effort into appearing as his usual self, it was clear there was something going on. He had started flirting less and less with others, even ceasing his witty back and forths with the waitress at the cafe below the agency offices. He had gradually gotten clingier and clingier too, seeking you out even on days off, to the point where soemtimes you felt as if you were being suffocated.

Everything came to a head when your friends from home were visiting the city. You had planned to meet up with your friends in the shopping district. You had not planned on bumping into Dazai. Wandering through the shopping district, arms linked and laughing at old memories, you didn't even see the bandaged man until you walked straight into him.

“Belladonna! Fancy seeing you here!" Your coworker greeted you, eyes glinting with mischief.

You were sure he was up to something, but you couldn't quite figure it out. One thing you knew though, it was no surprise that he saw you there. You had made it known to the agency how you would be spending the day off.

"Yes, well you did know I was going to be here. I mentioned it yesterday Osamu," you remarked.

Truth be told, you'd been attempting to have a Dazai-free day. He hadn't left your side in a while and you were really in desperate need of some time to collect your thoughts. Due to his attentiveness over the past few weeks, your friendship with Dazai was slowly turning into something more, at least on your end. You were sure it was all in your head though so you needed some time away from him until you could collect yourself and sort your feelings out. His recent actions confused you.

Dazai's smile faltered at the mention of your plans. "Oh, I must have forgotten," he said, his tone uncharacteristically subdued.

You raised an eyebrow at his unusual behavior, but before you could say anything, your friends interrupted.

"Hey, who's your friend?" one of them asked, eyeing Dazai curiously.

"This is my coworker, Dazai Osamu," you introduced him, not noticing the way Dazai's jaw clenched at the mention of "coworker."

Your friends chatted with Dazai for a few minutes before you realised the time and had to rush to your lunch reservations.  Quickly saying goodbye to Dazai, you grabbed your friends and rushed off.

During lunch, your friends regaled you with stories from home, and you laughed and joked with them.  However, your mind was elsewhere, thinking of the strange actions of your fellow detective.  Dazai never forgot anything, you knew that you had mentioned coming out with your friends multiple times too, so what was he doing showing up? It was messing with your head.  At least you’d managed to escape him during lunch.

After saying goodbye to your friends, you decided you needed rest and you went home.  Shutting the door behind you, you dragged yourself over to your coush and toppled onto it, exhausted.  You had barely shut your eyes when you heard a knock at the door.  Opening the door, you came to see a familiar sight.

"Dazai? What are you doing here?" you asked, confused.

"Dropping by to say hello, of course," Dazai replied, strolling past you into the house and settling down on your couch.  “Bella you would not believe the day I’ve had.  First, Kunikida would not stop bugging me about th-”

“Stop.” You cut him off before he could finish his story.  “Osamu, what are you doing here? I mean what are you really doing here?”

His eyes softened at the use of his first name.  “I wanted to see you,” he spoke softly, barely above a whisper, as if he were afraid to let anyone else hear it.

“You see me all the time!” Your frustration started to get to you as you raised your voice.  “You literally saw me just a few hours ago, which, by the way, I know wasn’t a coincidence beacuse I definitely told you I was going out with my friends.”

“Y/N I-” he started, but you quickly shut him down.

“No.  Listen to what I have to say first. I don’t understand Dazai.  What do you want from me? You’ve been glued to my side ever since the battle with the Guild and you’ve been acting weird and I, I don’t know what’s going on but you’re messing with my head.  I was fine before, talking and joking with you, but now you’re just making me so confused and I don’t know what to think anymore.” You ranted and rambled on and on, letting all your thoughts out.  “What’s going on? Please tell me.”

“I’m sorry,” he started, as he watched you fall onto the couch beside him. He knew he had been acting different lately and he knew exactly why.  He couldn’t help himself, after all, he’d come to find he cared for you.  A lot.  Much more than he wanted to for everything that was ever worth wanting was lost the moment he obtained it.  But by God did he want you.  

When Higuchi and Gin lured him away from the station to talk, he had been suspicious.  But as he realised that Q had been unleashed, he felt his stomach drop.  He had never feared for another person so much, not since Oda.  He couldn’t lose you.  But he had been to late to protect you from Q.  So, while he knew he could not have you all to himself, he also decided he would always stay by you to ensure your safety.  You had become his top priority. 

Still, when you confronted him about his change in behaviour, he didn’t know how to respond.  He didn’t want to suffocate you, but he knew he had to protect you.  He couldn’t be with you, but he knew how crushed he would be if you were with someone else and it would no longer be his place to stay by your side.  He did not want to lose you and everything he ever managed to grasp was lost to him.  Hearing your words, he knew you had romantic feelings for him.  And now, as he gazed into your eyes, he was torn between his head and his heart.  

Noticing his silence, you began to speak again.  “This isn’t fair to me you know.  You have to be honset with me.  Just tell me the truth and from there, we’ll figure it out.”  You smiled, gently placing a hand on his shoulder.  He seemed so fragile, so delicate in a way you’d never seen him before.

The reassuring gesture prompted Dazai to once again look to the floor.  He know what you’d probably say, if he was honest with you.  You’d probably tell him it didn’t matter and that you could be together anyway.  Then you would get hurt and he couldn’t have that.  But he didn’t think he could lie to you either, not anymore.  You wouldn’t believe him.  So he chose his words carefully as he turned to you and began explaining.

“I know I've been...clingy, lately. And I'm sorry for that.” He snuck a glance at you, seeing you staring back, listening intently.  “You have to understand that what happened with Q, I just- I just need to make sure you’re safe.”

“I can handle myself.”

“I know, belladonna, I’ve seen you in the field.  But this is something different.  I have to make sure i don’t lose you.  I need to make sure you’re safe because I-” He takes a pause again to collect himself, bracing for what comes next.  “I care about you a lot.  But I can’t be with you.  Everything I ever want, I ever love, is always lost and I can’t have that happen to you.  I tried to stop it, I flirted with others, told myself that it’s no different with you, but it was.  And the thing is, I’ve come to realise, I can’t help the way I feel about you.”

“Dazai-” You spoke, but this time he cut you off.

“Please just let me get this out.” He looked at you once more and you could see the raw emotion in his eyes.  Never had he been so open, so vulnerable. “I can’t help how I feel about you, and I can’t be with you.  Not in the way I want.  But I can protect you.  If I just stay close enough, I can protect you and you won’t have to be hurt.  I know it’s selfish, but it’s the only reason to stay close to you, without ever having to lose you, because you wouldn’t be mine.”

“Osamu-” He noticed you beginning to speak, but continued on, eyes now fixed to the floor.

“I knew what you’d say if I told you this.  I know what you’d probably tell me now if I let you speak.  That it’s not true, right? I can have you and you won’t be lost to me.  Except that it is true.  Everyone I’ve ever held close has been taken from me.  I will not let that happen again.” His tone was filled with conviction as his gaze grew more determined. “I’ve been to lenient, allowing myself to flirt and joke about with you.  It’s selfish of me, to do that to you when we have no future together, but I can never seem to help it when it comes to you.  I’m going to step back now though, let you live your life, find someone who deserves yo-”

“Don’t.” Dazai’s eyes widen as he takes you in.  Your eyes are glazed over, as if tears are about to spill at any moment, lip quivering, but your determination is written all over your face.  “You told me how much you care for me and want to keep me safe, right? Well, I feel the same way about you.” You were in complete disbelief.  How could he be so dumb as to believe you would ever love anyone else?  “You haven’t lost me yet, even though you said you wanted me.  There are some things in this life that we just can’t control, like when it’s time to depart from it.  You may lose some whom you love but that doesn’t mean that everyone else we love will follow the same pattern.” You reached out and grabbed his hands.  “Osamu, have you ever considered that, given that it’s my life, I should be able to decide how to spend it and who I spend it with?”

“Of course I have and you should, but that person can’t-”

“It can be you.  I don’t want to hear anymore of this ‘selfish’ crap about how you want to protect me and love me but can only do it from a safe distance.  I feel safest and happiest when I’m around you.  I feel protected because you’re there.  You’re a fool if you think anyone else is capable of making me feel that way.  Osamu I-” You took a breath, choosing how to word your next sentence carefully.  “Osamu. You are the most intelligent person I know, so I honestly don’t understand why you’re being so stupid right now.”

Dazai let out a shocked laugh at that.  He guessed he deserved the insult.  He guessed he probably deserved a lot worse than a single insult as he remained quiet, head down.

“You’re not being selfish by wanting to be close to me, especially when I want that too.  You are being selfish by keeping me at a distance and I won’t be letting that happen anymore.” At that Dazai lifted his head, turning to you wide eyed. “These feelings go both ways.  The idea of losing you is terrifying to me, just as losing me terrifies you, but we can’t stop loving others just because we’re afraid of loss.  We have to go on.  Maybe one day we might lose each other, but that’s not either of our faults, that is life.  We have to make the best of it by staying together and protecting each other.  The most fulfilling life for me is the one I get to spend with the person I love.” 

Dazai’s hands retracted from yours in one swift motion.  Startled, you jumped back slightly.  Had you said something wrong? Touched a nerve? Had you gone too far when you called him stupid?

“You... love me?” Wait what? Did he hear you right? You loved him? He had assumed you’d had romantic feelings for him, yes, but love?  He hadn’t realised you felt that strongly for him.  He’d assumed you’d easily be able to get over him as long as he distanced himself and he was dead set on keeping that distnce after starting this conversation.  Now, he didn’t think he could.  You loved him.  Him.  After that confession, Dazai lost any resolve he had left. His body moved of its own accord as his hands cupped your face, pulling you towards him.  

His lips met yours in a soft, tender kiss, not at all what you’d imagined your first kiss with him to be like.  It was delicate and gentle, as if he was afraid of breaking you, yet still firm enough that you couldn’t escape his grasp, like he thought you may leave.  You assured him that wasn’t the case by raising your arms to rest around his neck, keeping him close.  As you broke apart for breath, Dazai rested his forehead against yours, keeping you as close as possible.

You stayed like that for while, holding each other, exchanging soft kisses, small reassurances that shared how much you cared for one another.  After that conversation, Dazai could not deny himself of you any longer, he couldn’t push you away, not after feeling your love.  You still had a lot to talk about, but for now, Osamu Dazai was happy to just hold you until you fell asleep in his arms and he could whisper his reply to your confession.

“I love you too.”

🍍 + 🍒 for leon, 🍰 + 🍕 for xavier and 🍎 + 🍪 for seb >:^)

EHEHE

LEON

🍍: Where does your OC feel most comfortable?

IN HIS BED!!! that sounds like a haha funnie joke but listen. whenever he is sad or stressed or overwhelmed, he gets in bed and builds a pillow fort and hides under as many blankets as he can find. he feels safe in there, nothing can get him, and he can just lay in silence for a bit, clear his head, and calm down. even more comfortable if his bf is there with him though <3

🍒: Has Your OC had their first kiss yet? If so, with who?

YES!!! it was his bf if you can believe it. his first ever bf too. the concept of initiating any sort of intimacy with anyone was absolutely terrifying to him. and yet somehow!!! he was the one to go in for the kiss first and that will never not make me insane. world's bravest boy. im so proud of him. he could only do it bc his brain shut off for half a second but it's fine. he's very happy now (:

XAVIER

🍰: What's something your OC counts as unforgivable?

on account of him being insane and full of arasaka brainworms, not much would've been unforgivable to him, other than anyone possibly bringing any sort of harm to his daughter. he Would kill whoever dared to do that, even though it's against arasaka protocol. she is far more important to him than his job would ever be. after he finally gets out of there and becomes a regular functioning man, that would Still be 10000% true, but it also extends to other people who are in his life now, and he's WAY less likely to let shit slide. he will call you out on it bc he actually Cares now <3 well. he would have done before but. he's finally in a place where he can act on it.

🍕: How does an OC spend a lazy day?

back at arasaka, he wouldn't have had a single lazy day at all ever, so now that he finally can, he is taking advantage of it as much as he possibly can. he will Not get out of bed until 11am at the earliest. don't even try to get him out earlier he Will fall asleep wherever he is. by accident or on purpose?? no one knows. he will also try to annoy his daughters as much as he possibly can. [daughters?? plural?? yes. dont worry about it] having the world's longest bath in the history of forever. if someone needs to pee well they will have to wait he is not going anywhere. makes dinner and is Very gay about it.

SEB

🍎: Do they share any features or traits with any family members?

everyone in his family has the same nose, and dark brown, almost black eyes [which he eventually changes back to soemtime in the future teehee]. it's a very distinctive nose, and anyone who knows about his family in any capacity, can very easily spot when someone is a vidal. for better or worse. he got is love of cooking from his mother, and his painfully annoying stubbornness from his father. not exactly a shared trait, but more or less something he learned - he would put his life on the line for his siblings no matter what, even when his father told him to only look after himself. he never listened, and is definitely better off for it. he would always choose to help someone in need instead of walking away, every time.

🍪: What is something that's sentimental to you OC?

the van he used to live in for the few years between getting kicked out of his family and joining arasaka, there was only enough room for a small mattress and all his belongings - there werent that many, most of his stuff got passed down to his siblings. his whole life was in that van, but once he joined arasaka, he was forced to sell it, belongings and all, which he was understandably very upset about. just over a decade later, he finds it again, and - a facking miracle - everything in it was left completely untouched. the outside needed to be fixed up quite a bit bc of how rundown and rusty it was, but he didn't care. he loves fixing up cars. he's just happy all his stuff, all the photos of him and his siblings, etc etc. is safe. and he can look back on it all again.

[bunabi]

Just a response to the last anon with some food for thought: i jad no idea who jontron was other than he used to work with the grumps and gained infamy for some reason. Not everyone is terminally online to the degree that they have encyclopedic knowledge of the drama that goes down. Especially bc in this time period, the "horrors" of problematic people are soemtimes played up bc people follow a line of thinking thats "theyre horrible anyway- the embellishment is accurate" when its actually.. not. And for the record im most NOT saying the person mentioned above is a good sailor scout by any means, hes infamous for a reason- im just saying that its likely that the advertisers in question could have just assumed that he changed becuase people can and should be allowed to prove that they have changed (plus sometimes you need all the money you can get for your indie project.)

More people should be like Bun, where the benefit of the doubt is given. Watching and waiting vs. Immediately resorting to callouts is wiser because its less reactive. If you're (at the anon) someone who only looks for confirming information about your preconceived opinions.. maybe you shouldn't be going around and telling people what to think about others.

I really like your artwork Bun and im sorry to take up so much of your time with this; i just think its worth clearing up some ideas in what anon said, my response is not to be hateful or have malice toward anon by any means, i just disagree with their line of thinking.

Appreciated but I think you're misconstruing the previous anon.

They said 'it’s probably best to know about that also before going into it' not 'don't play the game and also the devs are evil'.

There's a difference between a friendly heads up and a callout. They were just cluing me in on what's been happening.

[violentdevotion]

You know, I watched Stardust (2007) when i was nine or something like that, the same year i also watched Inkheart (2008) and The Golden Compass (2007), and i was in love... obviously then i discovered they were all based on books and read them too (my father made me do a library card and brought me to the library those three months in the summer, it's still one of my only good memories with his absent ass. I guess he got tired of having children pretty fast soon after that; i'm only the oldest and there's still other three behind me). They were a happy and formative experience throughout my childhood and before the Cringe Years™️ of middle/high school, and i still love them now, even though the first two aren't really known ones among my peers. So imagine my freaking surprise when i get here, i start following you, and i see YOU LOVE STARDUST. I'M GONNA MARRY YOU<33

I've not watched the other 2 but I'll watch inkheart and try the golden compass again bc u trust ur opinion. I HAVENT read the books tho bc ik the ending to stardust is different book & film. but yeah I watched stardust (2007) when u was rly young WITH MY DAD TOO !!! and its changed me forever and ever, say what u want about dad's but they WILL introduce u to films that will alter your brain chemistry (ily lotr trilogy boxset directors cut dads) and I ALWAYS ALWAYS make EVERYONE watch stardust and you're 1 less person to make watch it AND ONE MORE TO TALK ABOUT IT WITHNDIANSIS !!!!!!@@@@ its so so so sogood I throw up soemtimes if I think abt it too much ily ily ily ily ily ily ily ily ily< (to the tune of mitskis pink in the night)

The best time to do a Bridal Makeup and Hair Preview Trial.

One of the questions I get asked by my brides the most is......”When is the best time to do my makeup and hair trial session?” In my professional opinion, the best time is as soon as you book your venue and no less that 4-6 months from wedding date. This is to ensure mine and my teams availability for your date, as we get booked up months or soemtimes a year or more in advance.

A great time to do your preview is when you have a dress fitting scheduled if at all possible. This is the best time because you will be in your dress (after doing the makeup and hair, of course) and can see the complete look together. When you do your wedding makeup and hair in regular everyday clothes it is very hard to envision how it will all look with your beautiful wedding dress! Glamorous bridal makeup and hair just doesn’t pair well with jeans and a t-shirt! Most of the time the makeup will “seem” to be “too much” or the hair “overdone”, but when seen with the more glamorous wedding dress it all makes sense! It’s kind of like the reverse...if you’ve ever put on a pretty dress to try on at the store with little to no makeup on and hair in a ponytail, it just doesn’t quite look the same as it does when you have your makeup and hair done for the event the dress is meant for. I have been in the bridal beauty industry for about 20 years and from my professional experience I feel the best time to see your hair and makeup for the wedding is with your wedding dress on! The other benefit to doing the trial session at this time is you can get an idea if something in the makeup should be a little more or a little less or maybe a slightly different color on the eyes or lips. As well with the hair....maybe you thought the hair was too “big” or “overdone”, but when seeing it with the dress you may feel it actually needs to be bigger or maybe played down a bit. 

I do suggest wearing something white, even if just your top to your trial session to at least see the makeup with white on. And if you can wear a dress with a similar neckline, all the better to  get a better idea of how the hair and makeup looks with a dress on. I am happy to answer any questions a bride has about the process of booking wedding day services and a preview trial session! Please visit my website www.DgProMuah.com to see more information about me, my services offered and my bridal portfolio. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

As much as I love and care for this bastard however I would not like to meet canon half light irl. Because. It would take one look at me and very very much attempt to actually kill me. and I would not like to die anytime soon! JFKCKCCKFKFKFK

and ik I crossed off "I like the fanon better for this one" but when we say that Assume we mean "I like whatever version of them exists in our system better than rhe canon version" it is especially true for half light LMAO

SO! i support children's rights AND wrongs [read: Half Light should be allowed to kill WHENEVER it wants. for whatever reason.] However I am not exempt from the Cain Instinct I'd absolutely defenestrate it if given the chance JFNDMDNFNFFNSJRJ

[zoyalannister]

hi! I wanted to ask something but dont take as pressure or anything like that. I wanted to ask you when do you think you may update again and which fic? I know depending on work or personal situations soemtimes we have more or less time to write, just curious to know in case you may have a holidays coming soon where you'd get time or a period when you can or if rn you have a lot going on, in that last case I hope work goes well and you can rest at some point soon :)

Hi anon! This depends on my beta, and she sent me this:

Hi! Unfortunately, I can't give you a specific date or timespan; if it's true that, since last Friday, I've got more free time, it's even truer that writing (and even editing) doesn't always come natural to me. Usually, I'll get up from bed one day with the correct mood, and I'll do a several-hours-long marathon that ends in me having written or edited 5k words. I'm praying that it'll happen soon, but I can't give you more than this, sorry!

Our ideal plan, in any case, would be:

-Posting Weird Questions.

-Last chapter of H(n)teaf.

-Last chapter of Daisy.

-Update Geranium.

-Update Sisstg.

If we can do it, only time will say.

Had my Sims and it was alright- I feel very bad at taking good feedback because I don't believe it. I think I really want someone to look me in the eye, recognise how insecure/imposterey I feel and tell me I am literally fine and I think I really need validation to make me feel less like an imposter any positive feedback I get feels like a 'giving positive for the sake of giving positive'. I always overthink and always try to read people's minds into what they're thinking.

Ah, sometimes the good feedback can just be shocking! Do you have a supervisor or mentor to talk to? Because the most straightforward way for someone to recognise how impostory you feel would be for you to confide that to them. Would it help if I told you I also feel like an impostor sometimes? Sometimes a friend or colleague will say something nice, and my first throught is that somehow, the truth is going to come out and people will realise I'm just not a good doctor. REalistically, I accept I'm an OK doctor and do a reasonable job. And that's fine. I think medicine is tough because you spend your childhood and teens working hard to be the best, working hard in med school to meet incredibly hight standards. Then you start working, and, welll, it can be impossible to feel like you can excel.

Have you tried talking to your other medic friends? Because I doubt you are the only one feeling this way. Maybe we can get a medlbr discussion going! Which can be hard because in medicine you're drilled to act confidently, which TBH I think is sometimes a bit of a sham. I think sometimes we need to be able to admit we aren't sure. But if you're someone who isn't very assertive, you get told that you need to act much more so. Unfortunately, the bullheaded people who are overconfident (and wrong) aren't told to become less assertive, and tend to do quite well sometimes. I think we'd get better doctors if we valued being cautious or thoughtful more than being assertive. I think you're right that people want to give positive feedback - but I think a lot of that is because we want to think the best of people, and we want to encourage them. That doesn't mean that we lie to people, necessarily - people work hard to stick to what they think is true, most of the time. I think that a lot of people's thoughts, even about us, are really about them. Someone can see a student and think "that reminds me of Me/my friend at that age", or "I wish I knew this at their age" etc. Their thoughts might be rpetty influenced by how they usually interact with people like you, or other experiences they've had with students, or young people, or whatever. I wouldn't try to second guess what they really think of you because I think that a lot of it isn't really about you. And a lot of their thoughts don't matter. The more I accept that what most people think of me doesn't matter, the happier I am. Learning not to focus on what people think of you is useful as a doctor because sometimes consultations go well, and soemtimes they don't. Whilst it's good to try and reflect on what happened, how you build a rapport, how you address concerns, how you ensure patients feel listened to and respected, ultimately they still have a million things going on that have nothing to do with you, but that may be colouring the whole process. And the same thing is true of colleagues.

uuu that Namjoon and Michelle drabble tho!!! I feel like there's a lot more going on in Namjoon's head than we know. Maybe it's because some time has happened between camping and where we currently are in Flux where they just broke up but like... it felt like he was SO into her in that drabble that I just don't see it in him to be like "oh yeah, I just feel like we shouldn't keep seeing it eachother" so easily in Flux... can't wait to see how Michelle is doing in the next chapters!

So one thing you all have done that makes my writing on that story so much better is you ask about the side characters and side stories. Whe nI wrote the mai nstory, I did my best to give characters their own things going on, but it's mostly just hinted at. Soemtimes it bubbles over into Sasha and JK's life --like JK repeatedly noticing that Namjoon seems stressed, or Michele saying the same to Sasha-- but it's mostly out of sight. Writing the little drabbles though gives me a place to actually embellish those little hints and tell more about what's going on --which is really intimidating, t othink about creating a really indepth life story for all seven members, but also a really fun opportunity!

Namjoon definitely has a lot going on. I can't remember if I said it in an earlier ask here or over on ao3, but in a way he has his own crash and burn going on, but it's slower and less obviously destructive than Jungkook's. Dude needs a vacation. But he also shields the other members (especially JK) as much as he can from his own needs, so that's what you see in the main story.

I also have to admit, I really loved watching readers question how serious Michele and Namjoon ever were, and whether she was out of line to act like there was more going on. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't, we never got to see firsthand to know the truth, this drabble is the first firsthand we've had.

Also Kieu my is a new member of lgbt. We don’t even know her relationship with the community or issues. Ofcourse it is natural for her to say the wrong things soemtimes even though she is bi/pan herself.

Exactly! Someone cannot be expected to know everything overnight and people can say something unintentionally insensitive sometimes. And this is even though I suspect KM was trying to make Isi feel MORE comfortable, not less.
