Bungou Stray Dogs Kunikida - Tumblr Posts
Look at them being cute
I love all the Kunikida content in light of the new chapter but y’all do NOT get to act like you loved him this whole time.
If you did, then why was there next to no content about him before 😐

There is an untapped amount of potential with Kunikida- the world is your oyster

A couple of random doodles I made at work today. The first one is Canon Kunikida just being Kunikida and the second one is Dazai from my 1889/Circus AU losing his mind because Chūya bought him a cheesecake 🤣
I may make a few more of these
Here’s a snippet from Chapter 2 of For The Tainted Human!!
“Now where’s the president?” Jun’ichirō asks as he lowers his hand from his face. He really is doing his part well - he looks conflicted and angry to a T. If I didn’t know any better, I would say that he has his ability activated. It’s so out of character for him, I almost think he is an actual mad bomber. The weird silence that fell over the office is broken when he yells “BRING ME THE PRESIDENT!” He grabs Naomi and lifts her up from the back of her shirt. “If you don’t, I’ll blow everyone in this place to kingdom come!” He drops Naomi onto the ground, a little harsher than normal and I start talking to Kunikida, keeping my voice low. “Sounds like he’s got a personal grudge. That’s mighty inconvenient.”
“Agreed,” Kunikida said in the same quiet voice. Atsushi is sitting between the two of us, watching the scene with Jun’ichirō with fearful eyes. “Why’d you bring me here again?” he asks quietly, his voice a little shaky.
Kunikida continues as if he hadn’t heard the boy. “Based on what he’s saying, the bomber seems furious at the agency.”
“Honestly, I don’t think I can help you. May I go now?”
I start talking, speaking to Atsushi without addressing his question. “Because of the work we do, we attract a lot of unwanted attention.”
“Did you hear what I said?”
I nod at the bomb sitting beside Jun’ichirō on the desk. “That is a military grade high level explosive. If the bomber acts on his threat and detonates it, it’ll kill us and destroy the whole floor.”
“Oh, no…”
“But if we can find something to cover the bomb, we may be able to reduce the force of the blast. But given the circumstances…since he took her hostage, he’s not only mad, he’s insane.”
“Do you know who she is?”
“Naomi. She’s a part-time office assistant here.”
“She’s not even an agent?!” Atsushi keeps his voice down as he stares at me for a moment before turning back to stare at Naomi through the plants. “She’s just an innocent victim in this terrible mess.”
“So what do we do?” Kunikida asks me behind Atsushi. I slide a little closer to him so I can answer. “He wants to see the president, right? Why not just bring him here?”
“Are you insane?” Kunikida asks, and I can tell it’s taking a lot for him to stay quiet. He really is a great actor, despite how rigid he seems. I know I’m just as good, if not better. These kind of missions were my bread and butter. I shake my head quickly to dispel the memories. It’s not good if I get lost down memory lane right now. “He’ll try to kill the president! We can’t let the boss walk into a bad situation like this!” Kunikida sits back and adjusts his glasses, lowering his voice again. “Plus he’s off on a business trip.” We both know he’s not, he’s sitting in his office, watching the cameras to see how Atsushi does. This is one of the few tests that has taken place inside the agency, which probably makes it far easier for him to see what’s going on.
“Oh, right. I forgot about that,” I say with a short eye roll. “It seems there’s only one option…” I meet Kunikida’s eyes and he gives me a short nod as we both hold up a hand. Atsushi watches us, expectantly, and I can tell he thinks we’re gonna use our abilities.
Instead we throw out three games of rock-paper-scissors. We tie the first two, and Kunikida loses the third, as was originally planned. I laugh quietly as he makes a small show of getting mad at me, and I can see Atsushi staring at us, his face completely blank. He really has no idea what to make of us.
Snippet from Chapter 3 of my ADA!Chūya AU!!
“I was wondering,” Atsushi said quietly, “what were the two of you doing before you joined the agency?” Both of us pause and look over at the white-haired teen, taking in his curious eyes. His face pales a little when he realizes we’re both staring at him. “N-No big deal, I was just curious, is all-”
“Three guesses,” I say with a shrug as I step away from Kunikida before sitting back down, this time actively facing him. He blinks, tilting his head a little. “It’s a game we play,” I explain as I motion to the group that’s sitting in the cafe, “at the agency. It’s kind of an initiation thing. Newcomers try to guess their coworkers’ former occupations. It’s kind of a fun game, actually.”
Atsushi hums as he turns to the Tanizaki siblings. “I want to say that Naomi-san and Jun’ichirō-san were students.”
“Woah,” Jun’ichirō says, clearly impressed. “You got it. Nice one.” Naomi sits up from her brother as she looks at Atsushi. “How did you figure that one out?”
“I was told you work at the agency part-time,” Atsushi explains. “And you’re wearing a uniform, so there was a good chance you were still in school. Plus Jun’ichirō-san and I seem to be similar in age. It just made sense.”
“Not bad, kid,” I say from the bar, leaning my cheek on my hand as I watch him with a faint smile. “Now, what about Kunikida?” I point over at my blonde partner, and he ends up spitting his coffee out at me. Thankfully, I’m able to control liquids to some degree and just send it back into his mug. “NOBODY CARES ABOUT WHAT I USED TO BE, ALRIGHT?!”
Atsushi is already narrowing his eyes at Kunikida, clearly trying to think things through. “An official…?” he mutters. He opens his eyes, struck with an idea of some sort. “Did he hold a government job?”
“Almost,” I say slyly. “He was a public school teacher. And he taught math.” I glance over at him, and he’s half pouting in his seat, his mug sitting next to him on the bar. He’s refusing to even look at me, his eyes closed. “I can totally picture that,” Atsushi mumbles to himself.
“It was another life,” Kunikida says sternly, clearly still mad at me for bringing it up. “I don’t even want to think about it.” He takes a long sip from his mug and then puts it down. “And don’t even try doing Nakahara. His former profession is a mystery to everyone.”
“Aw, Kunikida~” I pout at him, giving him playful puppy eyes. “You took my fun away!”
“No one has guessed it yet, so leave it be.”
“The first person who finally figures it out collects a reward, isn’t that right?” Jun’ichirō says from the booth and I can practically see the gears in Atsushi’s head start to turn. “A rEwArD?!”
“Yeah, I suppose that’s true,” I say with a shrug, seeming disinterested in the events happening. “And because no one’s guessed right, it’s just skyrocketed.”
“So…just out of curiosity…just how much is this reward right now?”
“Seven hundred thousand yen.”
“Seven…hundred… grand?!” I swear Atsushi is about to explode with the way he stares at me. “So if I guess correctly, it’s mine?! This isn’t some kind of prank?!”
“Trust me, I’m always a man of my word.” Liar.
“I gotta say,” Jun’ichirō says, sounding a little upset. “He looks really fired up.” Naomi seems just as upset. “There’s no way he’ll ever guess it.”
“That reward will be mine. Stockbroker!”
“No.”
“Writer!”
“Uh-huh.”
“Office worker!”
“Incorrect!”
“Researcher!”
“Wrong!”
“Lawyer?”
“No!”
“Journalist!”
“Eeeeeh-!”
“Carpenter!”
“Try again!”
“Fourtune Teller!”
“Nah.”
“Pilot?”
“Wrong again!”
“Japanese chef!”
“No!”
“Doctor?”
“No way!”
“Priest!”
“Blasphemous!”
“Model!”
“No, but thank you~”
“I bet you were just wandering around doing nothing at all,” Kunikida cuts in with an exasperated sigh. “Not true,” I say quietly, staring down at the ground in front of me. He puts his mug down and turns to face me, eyes wide a little. “I would never lie about something like this.”
Snippet from Chapter 4 of my ADA!Chūya AU!! Sorry this one is a little heavier, there’s not many funny things in this chapter-
That’s when I realize his voice is just as dead as his eyes. I recall Akutagawa’s words from a few days ago. He was broken before you left, but your betrayal shattered what was left. Seems this is the downfall of my actions. And finally, I’m able to speak.
“Dazai…” It’s just one word, but it takes everything to say it. After trying to avoid his name and any thoughts with him for four years, it feels strange to say it. So many emotions are tied to that one word, and I’m struggling not to cry.
“I don’t have all day,” Dazai says in that same dead voice, and I know I don’t have much time. “I’m just…staking out…”
“Spying, more like.”
“Just…watching.”
“You were always a shit liar.” There’s a faint flicker of emotion in his eye, but it’s so faint I almost don’t see it. He grips my wrists tighter and I grimace under my breath, ignoring the discomfort flaring through my arms. “Why are you here?”
“I told you. And why do you care?”
“Because you’re incredibly close to my territory. When I’m passing through. And after what you did, I think I have reason to be suspicious.” The words sting. I know he probably hasn’t thought of us in that way in years, but the confirmation…I’m fighting tears at this point.
“Just recon. Just keeping an eye on your dealings.”
“Why would you care?”
“I don’t. But the President does.” Rage flickers in Dazai’s eye for a moment before calming again. “Akutagawa was right. You’re with the agency now. Out of all places, you went there.”
“They were the only ones who would take me.”
“I would have!” Dazai’s mask slips, and I get a glimpse at the broken man inside. His iris is pleading, close to tears, as he searches my eyes for something. His hands are shaking around my wrists, but he doesn’t move. “If you had just given me time-”
“You had five months,” I snap back, trying to keep my voice quiet. “For five months I asked you to stop. And you didn’t listen.”
“I was grieving-”
“And so was I! He was my friend too, Dazai! But I didn’t feel the need to destroy anyone that so much as made me even a little irritated! I was fine to let you grieve how you needed, but I asked you, begged you, to leave me out of it! To stop using me like that!” I’m close to tears now too, though Dazai’s mask is back up. Mostly. His hands are still shaking.
“I still needed to sort my feelings out,” he says coldly. “And you left me at my most vulnerable. All of this is your fault, Chūya.”
“Maybe if you hadn’t insisted on using my ability to destroy entire buildings all the time, maybe I wouldn’t have needed to take a knife to you.”
Here’s a little snippet from Chapter 6 of my ADA!Chūya AU!! Sorry it’s a little short, the chapter is short itself lol
I’m still in a daze when I get back to my apartment. None of the wine got broken, thankfully, so I can just put it away and then head to the bathroom to shower. I’m mostly out of subspace by now, enough to be on my own, at least, but still a little out of it. Nothing a shower won’t fix.
What the hell was I thinking? I berate myself as I turn on the water and start undressing, feeling the evidence of our earlier activity sliding down my legs. I’m gonna have to deep clean these pants. I test the water and climb in, closing the door behind me.
What the fuck is wrong with me? I’m supposed to be fucking over him! Four years, Chūya! Whatever happened in that alley today was some sort of weird freak thing. You’re not supposed to go running back to him!
Yet…I can’t stop thinking about it. And not just today, but of all our years together. From our first hookup to our first night dating to our last night together. Everything plays in my mind, leaving my heart panting and crying out. Who am I kidding? I still love him. That’s why I did what I did. Four years ago and today.
I hope I can explain that day to him. Maybe not soon, but eventually. I just want to be able to explain what I did and why. This can’t live between us as an unspoken thing forever. It has to be addressed.
I run my hands through my hair as I start washing off, letting my mind wander for once. I still have the old phone from my Mafia days, and I’m sure it still has Dazai’s number on it. I don’t know why I haven’t gotten rid of it, along with literally everything else that reminds me of him - the box and dresses in particular.
I let out a sigh and focus on getting clean, taking extra care to clean everything out, even if it leaves me leaning against the wall, panting and in need of a little help. Eventually I get everything clean and turn off the shower, climbing out and wrapping the towel around myself. I shake my head, getting as much of the water out of my hair as I can before grabbing the smaller towel reserved for my hair.
I tie the larger towel around my waist and head out into the main room, yawning as I make my way over to my dresser. I hunt for some pajamas, easily changing and getting curled up on them with a quiet hum.
I’m just settling down in my futon when there’s a knock. I frown at the door and sigh before getting up, opening the door. “Yeah?”
It’s Kunikida, and he looks ready to yell at me for something. But then he shuts up when he actually sees me. I’m sure I don’t look great, but I’m still under a little bit.
“I just wanted to make sure everything was alright,” he says softly. “You were gone for a while.”
“Window shopping,” I say with a shrug. “Lost track of time for a bit.”
“Oh. Well, if you’re alright-“
“Yup,” I say to cut him off. I go to close the door but then I get an idea. I slowly open the door again and look him up and down. “How do you feel about going for drinks tomorrow?”
Here’s a snippet from Chapter 7 of my ADA!Chūya AU, For the Tainted Human! This scene is one of Chūya’s memories, and this chapter gets pretty emotional. Chūya has a story to tell and maybe now is the best time~
“What is this?” Dazai asked as he lifted his head and turned towards my phone. I gripped him tighter, pulling him back towards me so he couldn't change the song. “Does that matter? I want to listen to it.”
“It just sounds…sad. Not like you,” he said as he turned back around and wrapped his arms around the back of my neck again. I shrugged and snuggled deeper into him, keeping our legs entwined under the sheets. “So? I’m allowed to like sad songs too.”
“I never said that, Chibi~ I was just saying that it’s the first time I’ve heard you listen to it, that’s all.”
“...It’s called Gavi’s Song.”
“Gavi’s Song?”
“Yeah. The artist released it after her best friend died. She’d been working on it with him, but he didn’t make it through to the end, so she released it as a homage to him or something. I think it’s really beautiful. Call me sappy, I don’t care.”
“Why would I do that?” Dazai placed his finger under my chin and lifted my head, meeting my gaze with a soft smile. “If Chibi thinks it’s beautiful, that means is must be beautiful~ Since Chibi is the most beautiful thing in the world~”
“S-Shut up…” I muttered as I moved my head and hid my face again, getting a chuckle out of him. We were still new to our actual relationship, so the softer flirting embarrassed me. It also sometimes reminded me of that place, though I never told him. He didn’t know about that place, and I wanted it to stay that way.
“You really like this artist, huh?” Dazai asked after a moment and I slowly nodded. “Yeah,” I whispered without moving my head. “She’s good. The music’s complicated and loud enough to keep me focused but it also helps keep me from singing along.”
“Does she tour?”
“Dazai, you are not taking me to go see her in concert. I don’t even know when she’s coming to Japan next.”
“Alright, fine. But I’ll keep an eye out, don’t worry.” He pressed another light kiss to my forehead and my cheeks flushed a little more as I tried burying myself deeper into him. He snorted and ran a hand over my head, letting his fingers get tangled in my hair and gently working the knots that had developed overnight out. “Your hair’s getting long.”
“I know.”
“Are you gonna cut it?”
“Probably not this time. I want to try having it long.”
“I think long hair will suit you.”
“You just want something to grab when I’m being a brat.”
“That is a benefit, I will admit~ But it’ll look so good with Chibi’s dresses~”
“What is with you and those damn dresses?”
“Chibi looks go pretty in them~ Like a god sent into my life~”
“...Osamu, you’re a dork.”
“What did you call me?”
“I called you mackerel, stupid mackerel.”
“No you didn’t. That doesn’t even sound like what you said! I think you said my name! Chibi called me by my name!”
“Wha- No I didn’t!”
“Yes, you did!”
“No, I didn’t you stupid-” He shut me up with a well-timed kiss as he pushed me down onto the bed, rolling us over so that I was on my back and he was above me. I gave in easily, kissing back as I moved to grip his hair, letting him have full access to my mouth as he wanted. We were still working out how to be gentle with each other, since we both knew just how rough we could go and were used to being, but I didn’t mind. The gentler times gave us a chance to figure out my “subspace” or whatever it was called so that we knew how to deal with it during our rougher nights.
I just wished I remembered more after I slipped that night.
Here’s a snippet of Chater 8 of my ADA!Chūya AU For The Tainted Human! This chapter is heavier because there are major Stormbringer spoilers in it.
I have a massive hangover.
I guess it’s to be expected, considering how drunk I got last night. I think Kunikida said my total drink count came out to around ten or something. I know Shinji has a tab for me, and I will get around to paying for this round soon, but it definitely isn’t happening today. I grumble and press the heels of my hands into my eyes, groaning quietly to myself as I bury myself deeper into my blankets. I just want to go back to sleep.
My head hurts though, too much to let me fall asleep again. So I’m just left to lie here, groaning in pain, pressing the heels of my hands against my eyes for some relief. Not that it does anything, but I’m desperate.
There’s a little rustle by my window, and when I look, it’s open. I know I closed all of my windows last night before I left for the bar with Kunikida, so this is new. I frown and stare at the offending window, but I don’t get a clue as to what happened for a while. I yawn and turn to go back to sleep when I hear the rustling again. I shift to look at my succulents near the window, frowning. After a moment I notice the piece of paper that’s now tucked under the leaves of my winthrop lithops. I frown and drag myself up and over to it, picking up the note. I unfold it and start reading.
You said we could meet up at some point, right? How about next week, at that hotel you like? You can wear one of your dresses again, I miss those.
I miss you. Number?
I snort to myself and roll my eyes. Silly Dazai. He probably sent Gin to deliver this, since she was probably the one who delivered my collar - which is still hidden away in the box of other items of that nature - but the thought of us passing notes like we’re children in school is a little entertaining. I can almost read the tone of the boy he used to be in the writing, and I realize that his kanji is a lot neater than it used to be. I smile to myself and shake my head. True, his handwriting is still quite bad, but it’s definitely more “befitting” of a Port Mafia boss. I still remember when he used to make me write a lot of his more professional and official documents because my kanji were always far neater and smoother than his.
I smile to myself as I fold the note up and tuck it somewhere someone won’t just randomly find it if they decide to come into my dorm and move back over to the bed. Maybe I can text Yosano to bring me a painkiller or two. I could really use it, my head is fucking killing me right now.
I’m about to curl up in my bed when there’s an annoying knock at my door. I grumble and glare at it before getting up and going over, opening the door and glaring at the person who dared to disturb me. “What?”
“I brought you something,” Kunikida says as he pushes a small pill bottle in my hands. “Painkillers. For your migraine-level headache.” I look down at the bottle and run my thumb over the label before sighing. “Thanks,” I say as I run my hand through my hair. “Is this everything? You just wanted to drop off some painkillers?”
“I also brought some food,” he says as he lifts the plastic bag in his hands. It looks like he just went to a convenience store. “I’ll be honest, I don’t really know how to cook, and I don’t want you in the kitchen right now. So I went and bought us something. It’s not going to be healthy, but I…I suppose one morning won’t be a big deal.”
I stare at Kunikida for a while, silent. He stands in my doorway and opens his mouth to say something, but I beat him to it. “Have you had five cups of coffee this morning?”
“I’ve only had one so far,” Kunikida says as he adjusts his glasses. “I just didn’t get black-out drunk last night.”
“Point taken,” I mutter and step aside for him to come in. I close the door behind him and he goes over to the table, setting everything down before tossing the bag in the appropriate bin. “Wow you really meant it when you said it was shitty.”
Instant ramen. I’m not surprised, Kunikida has probably never actually been in a convenience store before, but I’m sure that the one near the agency has some decent breakfast options. So either he completely missed them or he went for the ramen on purpose. Still, I pick up one of the packets and start getting everything ready, yawning and wincing from the pain in my head. I have to pause what I’m doing for a moment to take a pill, but then I go back to getting my ramen all set up.
It doesn’t take long, and I move to the table to let Kunikida start working on his. I sit down and say thanks before starting to eat, blowing on the still very hot noodles before starting to eat them, using the chopsticks to help them into my mouth as I chew.
Kunikida comes over and sits down to start eating his own as well, and silence falls over the two of us as we just eat our instant ramen breakfast, the painkiller slowly kicking in to cancel out the effects of the hangover. I still definitely have a hangover, but the symptoms can at least be manageable.
“I’m sorry about your friends,” Kunikida says after a bit and I look up at him. “The ones that you lost at your former job. I’m sure it hurt you.”
“...yeah,” I whisper before blowing on my noodles again and taking a bite. I chew on them for a bit before swallowing. “It was years ago, so it’s really not a big deal right now. I’ve come to terms with it.”
I had two years to do so.
Here’s a snippet from Chapter 9 of my ADA!Chūya AU, For the Tainted Human. After being confronted by Kunikida, Chūya goes to work but can’t focus. So he takes a break and ends up talking to an old friend! And maybe has a little heart-to-heart with a certain burnt black cat later on…
I switch playlists, and Just a Dreamer starts playing. I tap my foot against the ground in time with the guitar, taking my time to pull my cigarette out and blow every so often. I sit in silence, other than my music, for a long while.
“You’re gonna get sick from that.” I look up and meet a pair of familiar gray eyes. Gin has her hands tucked into her pockets, but her hair is down and her mask is nowhere to be seen. She’s wearing a regular black jacket over her white blouse and black skirt, though she would never be caught dead wearing heels. She sits down next to me, keeping her hands in her pockets.
“You think that bothers me?” I ask as I pause my music and take my headphones off. Gin turns to me , frowning, and I realize how weird it really is to see her without her mask on. She continues to stare at me, and I stare back, and eventually she gives in and turns away, sighing as she shakes her head. “Chūya, I’m only trying to help look out for you.”
“Because Dazai told you to?”
“No. I’m actually here for myself.” I turn to her, raising an eyebrow, but she doesn’t turn back to me. “He keeps telling me to drop this and that off, but never to linger. I’ve just wanted to talk to you, to catch up to you.”
“It has been a while…”
“I just wish you’d stayed a little longer.”
“Gin-”
“I know,” she says with a sigh. “You explained it four years ago. You left because you needed to. I’m just being selfish. I liked having you around, and you were good company. Besides, you helped keep the boss calm and that kept Ryu out of a lot of sticky situations. His relationship with the boss is strained now, more so than ever.”
“Maybe if he stopped being a huge feral mut, maybe Dazai would be a lot kinder to him.” Gin doesn’t really have a retort to that, instead she just snorts and shakes her head. “I won’t pretend to understand what goes through my brother’s head, just like I won’t pretend to know what goes through Dazai’s head or yours.”
I’m silent, sure she has more she wants to say. I may not have been with Gin for long, but she was my protege before I left, so I’ve always felt somewhat responsible for her. I know a lot of her mannerisms, and I can tell from the light bouncing of her leg that there’s words inside of her that she wants to say but she needs to take her time to say them.
“He’s happier,” she says quietly. “He really misses you, everyone knows he does. I haven’t seen him look happy since you left, but there’s a look in his eyes that says it all. He’s seeing you again. It’s giving him some form of hope and light to look forward to. You do so much to and for him that you probably won’t ever understand.”
“I do understand, Gin,” I say softly. “I saw what he was like back before I joined the Port Mafia. I’ve been seeing what he’s like in these past four years. But I can’t sacrifice my own mental wellbeing. Not anymore. The most I’m willing to do is see him again. I…I miss him too, you know. My heart belongs to him, as much as it did back when I left. Everything hurts whenever I think about him, and I think about him a lot. There hasn’t been a day in these past four years that I haven’t thought about him. He’s always on my mind, in my thoughts.”
“And you’re always in his,” Gin says just as softly. “Maybe the two of you are more destined for each other than you realize.” She pats my shoulder and stands. “Now I should get back to him before he starts getting suspicious.” She turns to leave and I remember something. I pull out a piece of paper and quickly scribble something down before going over to her. “Gin, hey, wait.” She turns around and I hold out the paper. “Can you give this to him for me?”
She looks down at it and nods as she takes it. “Of course.” And with that, she’s gone.
im just a girl
context for this is that i have 5 seperate tabs of fanfiction, 4 of Alastor, 1 of kunikida
kunikida doesn’t seem to be waking up.... what should dazai do?
(once again, replies will dictate their poor fate!)
Silly dazai + Kunikida highschool au !!!💚🩶🎧
I like to think that somewhere in the agency there's a little photo album of the members
It started as a Fukuzawa-Ranpo-Yosano family photo album but then a picture of kunikida got thrown in there and some of Katai.
Theres at least one picture of everyone. When looking through it it's pretty clear when someone new joined since there's so many of them for a bit and then it fades back into group pictures.
Kenji gives them some pictures of him as a kid on his farm. There's pictures of all of the major achievements each one did, entrance exams, first cases, katais last case of actually being there, a couple of birthdays and agency holiday parties. Atsushi and kyouka's wanted posters are in there. Dazais gets added after a while, but they struggled to track it down.
Maybe at some point they start gaining little pictures of the members lovers as well, a few of ranpo with poe (and Karl ofc) they manage to get one of Chuuya and Dazai, a really blurry one of Akutagawa and Atsushi.
They're one big, happy, complicated family and it's great.
I have so many kunikatai headcanons so I thought I'd share them!
-they met in middle school
-started dating first year of high-school
-got married(illegally, kunikidas idea) in the autumn following graduation
-it was a very small wedding, consisting of the two of their parents, and a few friends from school
-it was in katais favorite Cafe, a very small place that not many people know about
-they don't live together for safety reasons
-only yosano, ranpo, and fukuzawa know
-kunikida doesn't often wear his wedding ring in fear if it getting damaged
-sometimes katai will force him to play various video games with him
-kunikida really likes stardew valley and similar games
-kunikida let's katai braid his hair sometimes
-katai sucked at first but he's surprisingly good now
-T4t kunitai
-kunikida had a 'rebellious phase' type thing in high school
-and a short emo phase in middle school
-his teachers liked him for being a smart student but hated how often he got in trouble
-he would beat up anyone who made fun of katai
-katai would always tell him not to bother doing that but would absolutely do the same if anyone made fun of kuni
-kunikida helps katai cut his hair
-katai visits the agency one day and ends up telling everyone about kunikidas high school years
-everyone is absolutely shocked (minus ranpo ofc)
-kuni frequently gets kicked out of libraries for arguing with the librarians over how the books are arranged
-They meet at the school nurses office!!-katai had a very bad panic attack and kuni got into a pretty bad fight
-school nurses kinda suck tbh so kuni helps katai with his panic attack
-they become good friends after that
-or they could meet in a school counselors office for the same reasons
-they'd probably bond the same way too bc school counselors suck more than school nurses(Like seriously though, once my old school counselor told me that I was being selfish/a selfish person for being suicidal)
-kunikida is totally the type of guy to just throw random compliments into any sentence he can
-katai let's kunikida sit under his futon with him
-pillow forts!!!!!!

I probably have more but that's all I can think of right now!
Kunikida 100% had some kinda alt/rebellious phase when he was a teenager and it haunts him to this day
Katai would totally tell anyone who asks all about it
Dazai: you've known kunikida for a long time, right? What was he like when he was younger, I bet he was a big goody-two-shoes!
Katai: you'd be surprised
Dazai: wait, what!? Kunikida, our kunikida did something bad??
Katai: oh let me tell you-
Kunikida stands off to the side, blushing furiously from embarrassment yet not denying anything
hold on
If Kunikida saw the book/a page of the book could he recreate it???
