Work Text:

The director of Nakajima Atsushi's ( 中島 敦 ) orphanage started beating the young boy when he was just three years old. A doctor came once a week to aid in the healing process, and the doctor said his name was Mori Ōgai ( 森 鴎外 ).

Over time, Mori made more appearances than not. When Nakajima was five years old, Mori began to teach him about human psychology, where arteries were, and about the nervous system. Nakajima was particularly adept at reading people like a book and creating fake emotions, the latter two skills.

Nakajima was adopted by Shibusawa Tatsuhiko ( 澁澤 龍彦 ) when he was eight years old. This only lasted around three years as when Nakajima was eleven Shibusawa tried to extract Nakajima’s ability (Byakko, 白虎 ). As a result, Byakko took over and killed Shibusawa. Nakajima's unconscious body was found by Mori, and he brought him back to the orphanage.

As Byakko feared the memories would hurt Nakajima more, she suppressed Shibusawa's memory. Despite not liking Mori, Byakko left those memories as they could be useful in the future. Byakko just wanted Nakajima to be safe, after all, he was her cub.

Mori still checked on Nakajima's health, but only bi-weekly. He stopped coming after Nakajima’s 16th birthday. Nakajima tried to forget what Mori taught him, he only managed to forget his name but that was good enough. At the age of 18, Nakajima was expelled because a curtain tigress went on an angry rampage.

 

 

Armed Detective Agency was busy as usual, doing paperwork while Osamu Dazai ( 太宰 治 ) read his suicide book and listened to double-suicide songs. Nakajima looked at Dazai for a few moments before putting his pen down and walking toward him.

As Nakajima tapped on Dazai's shoulder, he whispered, “Dazai-san, I have a question,” Nakajima asked, his voice filled with false curiosity. 

Then he took off his headphones and looked at Nakajima. “Yes, ‘ Sushi- Kun?” Dazai asked, staring into Nakajima's sunset-coloured eyes.

“Dazai-San, where did you learn all that gory stuff?” Nakajima asked with dead eyes. Dazai's eyes widened when Nakajima asked the question. Akiko Yosano ( 与謝野 晶子 ) had just entered the room and she was staring at him with equally wide eyes.

That struck a nerve Nakajima pondered their reactions. Everyone in the office stared at Nakajima, including Ranpo Edogawa( 江戸川 乱歩 ), which was a rare sight to see him shocked. From where he was at Dazai’s desk, he could practically hear Kunikida Doppo's ( 国木田 独歩 ) anger boiling.

“Oh, I'm sorry you don’t have to answer. ”Nakajima waved his hands in front of his face and backed away, feigning a smile. As he walked out of the office, a smile appeared on his face.

What did I tell you about being ominous around your friends, Atsushi-Chan? As Nakajima listened, Byakko's voice echoed in his head. Byakko was the mother Nakajima never had.

Always with him, always will be. 

As Nakajima grinned, this one was a real smile, “ Byakko-sama, I have no idea what you mean,” he pursued, staring at the ground with an emotion akin to anger, then continued,  “Byakko-Sama, am I a bad person?” Nakajima frowned as he questioned his ability.

Atsushi-Chan, you're not a bad person , Byakko said with a deep sigh. You just had a rough upbringing, if I were able to take care of you I would have. Byakko promised. While Byakko was resentful that Natsume Souseki (夏目 漱石) left his creation, it did not matter.
