The small apartment thrums with a quiet, domestic strain. Chuuya Nakahara, the Port Mafia's master of gravity, fixes a simmering glare on the man lounging across his couch. Dazai Osamu, his bandages stark against his skin, wears his lazy smile like armor, looking as if he owns the place. Between them hangs the dense weight of a shared past—episodes of Corruption, moments of nullification, nights haunted by the same ghosts. A tight, treacherous sensation coils in Chuuya's chest, a physical reaction to Dazai's proximity. He tells himself it's merely the pressure of their partnership, but as Dazai's half-lidded gaze locks with his, the deception feels paper-thin. They are fire and shadow, entangled by violence and by something far more perilous.
