haii deer i hope you are able to get all your assignments done on time! was reading your tags and aro dazai?? big brain.
so how about aro ace darling? never been in a relationship and never really want to, their friends are more than enough for them !! honestly i just wanna be aro buddies with dazai 🥹
but damn just being weirdo coworkers together, im,,, willing to look past many red flags for him 💔
YOURE JUST LIKE ME FR dazai and i are best friends and we are aro you can ask him yourself also weirdo coworkers.. you get it
"Oh, wait, so you were the latest person hired?" Atsushi's head cocked to the side, looking at you with curiosity. "How long have you been here?"
"My dear here has been with the agency for three months! You know, I was the one that brought them on board," Dazai gloated, a smug smirk on his face and a dramatic hand over his heart.
You were quick to play along, throwing a dramatic hand over your forehead as you leaned back. "Oh, my hero! What would I do without my lovely Dazai?" The sarcastic lilt in your tone didn't go unnoticed by the newest agency member, but he decided not to comment on it.
"Was it like what happened with me? Did you find Dazai drowning?" Apparently a common occurrence, Atsushi had pieced together.
Dazai denied, a smile on his face as he replied with a simple, "Nope!" A few moments of silence passed before the junior realized he wasn't going to elaborate.
Just as he opened his mouth to ask for more information, you decided to take pity on the poor soul and fill him in. "I bailed him out of a holding cell."
No one bat an eye. Atsushi looked around the office, trying to see if maybe someone was holding back laughter, but not a single one of his new coworkers were phased. Did they not hear what you said?
"He got detained for public disturbance in the middle of a case. I told Dazai he'd have to find a way to get out on his own, and he shows back up not even thirty minutes later with them in tow," Kunikida explains, frustration evident in his voice. "I was trying to teach him a lesson."
"I was in the area," you shrug.
"Yeah, being detained as well..."
"I was being released from detainment, actually!" You correct Kunikida, a proud grin on your face. "And Dazai said I should follow him, so I did."
Atsushi laughed awkwardly. He knew you seemed similar to Dazai in your hedonistic pursuits, but this was baffling. "And the president hired you?"
"I had an entrance exam, but pretty much! I had just been fired from my old job the day before so Dazai helped me get set up here. And before you ask: I was fired because I told the boss' kid I wouldn't date him. He got all upset and told daddy to can me," you huff in frustration, still annoyed at your wrongful termination.
Kunikida rolled his eyes. "Don't act like some martyr; You also deserved to be fired. You just messed around on the job like you do here. You barely got any work done."
"You want me so badly it makes you look stupid—"
"I told them to sue and say it's discrimination because they're aro," Dazai cut you off, a pout on his lips like he's annoyed you didn't take his advice.
"What's... arrow?" Atsushi cocked his head to the side. He was unaware of the terminology, having never come across it in this context during his studies at the orphanage.
"Oh, it's shorthand for aromantic. It just means, like, experiencing little to no romantic attraction to anyone. It varies, of course..." You try to explain simply.
Atsushi nods, understanding the basic idea. "But it'd be wrong to lie about your sexuality, right?"
"I'm aro, actually," you shrug. Everyone at the agency is well aware, so Atsushi will likely find out eventually.
"Oh!" The younger employee's cheeks turn pink, feeling a little sheepish for assuming. A moment passes as Atsushi thinks before furrowing his eyebrows in confusion. "I thought you and Dazai..?"
"We're both aromantic," Dazai rests his chin on his hand, elbow on his desk and an amused smirk pulling at his lips. "I've dated a lot in the past, but I realized it's just not for me."
"I've never been in a relationship and never want to," you add in yourself. "Aromanticism is... much more complex than how I explained it. Dazai feels romantic attraction, but doesn't— Is it fine if I tell him this?" You suddenly ask, realizing it really isn't your place to speak on his experience, even as his best friend.
"Oh, I don't care. Saves me the trouble," Dazai waves his hand dismissively. "But yeah, I feel romantic attraction, but lose it when it's reciprocated."
Atsushi nods slowly, beginning to understand. "Oh, okay. So you two are just close friends, then."
"Are we just not going to ask what you were doing in a holding cell when Dazai got thrown in?" Tanizaki asks from his desk.
"I just got too silly, you know how it is."

🚨🚨this post is my speculation (as of September 7th when I'm writing this)🚨🚨
okay codes timeline (sort of)(there won't be dates because that is a lot of work and I don't feel like checking every vod out there <3 i will go from memory alone I'm not putting this in the wiki I don't need citations the source is my mind)(under the cut because it seems like a long post)
>so. the codes first arrived after arin, he was scared of them and I don't remember if they worked for/with the federation and they came from the immaterial world like arin
>then the eggs appeared and the codes changed target. they went from going after arin to going after the eggs, even arin was worried for them before disappearing (taking over luzu's body after tilin died)
>then for the longest time the codes were after the eggs. they wanted the eggs dead frfr and were successful in taking a life from almost all the eggs that were on two lifes
>THEN after what felt like months (it was maybe a couple weeks max) of etoiles wanting to kill one (1) code for fun, he got that and since then he's been their primary target/sparring partner, especially since they stole the sword™ from the federation and he got the shield
>more recently they started to act weird. they started to impersonate the eggs*. they started imitating them during the night of the presidential dinner, when they showed up as tallulah and chayanne and then after the dinner they attacked etoiles and philza (and bad), and continued like this.
*the residents also thought the codes were the capybaras because of the wilbur party but the capys were targeting the candidates in that specific case, so it's unlikely
>THEN maxo discovered he had a parasite in his body that is transforming him into a code
which brings us to now. now the codes seem to have studied the eggs very well, they're able to imitate their mannerisms and seem to know their interests (imo this is also why fake pomme had a book, because of real pomme's diary). also they seem to be wanting to become more like the actual eggs/take their place.
also after etoiles kicked their asses in the arena (11-0 BABY NOT EVEN CLOSE!!) they appeared to protect one of arin's computer from the residents that were trying to fuck with it which could really means that the codes are against the federation now, or at least, they're as much against it as they can

(If your muse had a taste, how would you describe it?)
DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONS-SENSES EDITION
I think it’s a toss up between a durian (because I still can’t get over your awesome description of what Spaul Tea would taste like to Spafnir from several months ago 😊) or a Sour Patch Kid.
A durian makes total sense for Spaul, on one hand, because of how its exterior belies its interior. On the outside, it smells horrible and has a rocky, almost impenetrable surface, but on the inside it’s supposedly (I’ve never had any lol) very tangy and pleasant to eat. In other words, much like Spaul it’s alienating at first, but once you “take a bite”, so to speak, you find out how wonderful it actually is!
On the other hand, Sour Patch Kids (yet another food I’ve never eaten 😅) have a neat little tagline to go with their whole deal. Sour, then sweet. Which sums up Spaul warming up to the people he likes like Spafnir, Spamjo, and Eileen in a nutshell. Plus, there’s pink and yellow SPKs, I think, like his pink and yellow glasses? In other words, I think they fit him just as well as a durian.
Which is why I cannot choose between them to save my life 😂 So let’s say a combination of the two!
