[Chuuya wouldn’t call himself tragic or anything, certainly not after what he’s learned about Atsushi’s past, but he’s never quite figured out how to be “normal”, not with his ability. Of course he doesn’t want to be normal, because fuck that, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t wonder what kind of stuff he missed growing up that he might’ve experienced otherwise.

Oh well, he’s here now, and the past is the past, much as Chuuya likes to forget that sometimes.

Chuuya lets out an indignant huff. Rude, Atsushi! Don’t laugh!! He’s just clinging to his wild youth! Not that his adult life is any less wild, but shh!]

Yeah. You should’ve seen me ride up buildings. That was fun as hell.

[But alas, as far as Chuuya knows, the bike is lost to the stars.]

I’ve heard you’re fast with those tiger limbs.

[If only Akutagawa would’ve shared how he rode the tiger.]

Anyway. There’s more to the story, but I don’t plan on going anywhere, so you don’t have to ask it all now.
