Summary
Akutagawa stops, but he’s too close, too much, to fade into the background. Not now that Atsushi’s spent so long memorizing the way the world fits around him.
Dazai’s next words are a suckerpunch. “You want our little hellhound to choose you.”
If he doesn’t open his eyes, he can pretend the cool trails working down his cheeks are from the wind.
The night is so full, the city never quite sleeping, but in this tiny bubble the silence is a scream Atsushi can’t shut out.
“Maybe,” he says after too long, his voice thick and hollow, “Just once, I want someone, anyone, to give a flying fuck about Atsushi.”
—————
Or:Atsushi makes a life-changing decision when Akutagawa gets injured. The consequences make him reexamine himself, his partner, and what exactly he wants the word partner to mean.

Summary
“What game are you playing?” All of Atsushi’s movements are made with the languid grace of a massive predator knowing it’s top dog in the jungle, and has very little to fear. Akutagawa tracks the motions in a corner of his mind, already burning with the desire to run. The predator hasn’t attacked, yet. It’s weak. He has the advantage.
Calm, that, Akutagawa tells that part of himself, we’ll get our chance.
To Atsushi, he says, “can friends not meet at a restaurant to talk?”
“This is a McDonalds.” Atsushi’s voice is flat. “And we aren’t friends.”
“Indeed.” Akutagawa eats another chicken nugget. It gives him something to do. He is not sure what to do, now that he is here. He thought—what? What did he think would happen?(After Dazai's funeral, Akutagawa finds himself at a McDonalds, contemplating his life without the man in black in it. Little does he know that Atsushi would do the same, igniting a fight between them. The outcome of said fight may surprise them both, and give them the purpose they hope for).
