OH! Thoughts are in italics :p
EDIT 4/6/25:
Fixed the texting portion to be less clunky and easier to read

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

"Are you sure?" Atsushi asked his ginger companion, nervously holding his phone.

"100% positive," The young man responded. A bit ago Atsushi had confessed that he was in love with the gothic mafia man, Akutagawa. What he sees in him I will never understand. Dude is like if Miles Edgeworth and Hot Topic had a child. Eh whatever its what Atsu likes I guess.

Atsushi began bouncing his leg, "But what if he doesn't like me back? God I would never be able to live that down-"

"Atsushi, trust me I'm pretty sure he does." -Tanizaki sits down- "Though you could add me if it'll make you feel better."

Atsushi mulled on the idea for a bit. "Hmmm... Okay, but if you're wrong you're buying me chazuke." He began typing on his phone.

"Deal," Tanizaki got a ping on his phone and saw he was added.

Atsushi hung up his call with Juni and began typing his confession...

 

Akutagawa's POV:

*DING!* 

Akutagawa picked up he phone, his face growing warm after he read the message.

Wait this is a group message? Did he add the other one by mistake? I should ask him, after all what if I was the one added by mistake...

Weretiger🖤: Oh, that's Junichiro, I added him for moral support.


 

How amusing, Akutagawa smiled, or rather just turned his mouth up slightly.

Pfft, seriously? 

(48)-765-9812: I'm here for you man
do your thing

Weretiger🖤: So I was wondering if you y'know liked me back?

Oh recently I have come to the realization I am saddled with some...feelings.

Weretiger🖤: What kind of feelings?

When I'm around you I nearly can't stop myself from wanting to touch you.
At first I thought it was because I wanted to stab you but now I realize it is much more. 
And then again, a while ago I thought I was on my deathbed.
My heart would beat fast, my hands would sweat and my stomach felt uneasy
After consulting someone about the situation, they helped me realize that I was experiencing a crush not death.
I want to see you wear my coat again, this time without the battle happening.

 


 

Akutagawa anxiously waited for the weretiger to respond
