What Is Love? Is Love Good Or Bad?: Introduction

That's right mother flippers. I'm actually writing a couple of boy x girl ships in this one. Of course we still have our regularly scheduled Gay.

Keep in mind that I don't ship all of these. Some of these are just for the laughs and/or exploring the idea.

Let me know if you want to change any of the following ships to be a different type. Like make one of the romantic ships Platonic.

The list of ships is more organized at the end of the paragraph.

Ship:

Romantic- Atsushi x Akutagawa, Atsushi x Lucy

Platonic: Atsushi x Ranpo, Atsushi x Tanizaki, Atsushi x Yosano, Atsushi x Chuuya, Atsushi x Dazai, Atsushi x Kunikida, Atsushi x Kyouka, Atsushi x Koyo, Atsushi x Gin, Atsushi x Higuchi, Atsushi x Kenji, Atsushi x Mori, Atsushi x Fukuzawa, Atsushi x Poe, Atsushi x Elise, Atsushi x Tachihara, Atsushi x Naomi, Atsushi x Hirotsu(give this guy some love for real, literally Mori gets ships but he doesn't, so not fair).

Unsure: Atsushi x Nikolai, Atsushi x Fyodor, Atsushi x Sigma

Additional ships: FukuMori, RanPoe, Akutagawa x Higuchi, Koyo x Yosano(since this seems to be popular and the only lesbian ship that I know of).

We Stan crack ships in this book. Feel free to bring your crack ships as long as they are not romantic or sexual adult x child. (We do not Stan those). Please and thank you.

Au: Atsushi Harem

This is kind of the same idea as the Dazai Love-Pocalypse, but different obviously.

This is just the introduction to Atsushi's love life and how it's going, we'll get into the main plot next time.

————

Atsushi tried not to be selfish, tried not to take too much. He accepted what he got as long as he survived. Of course he took advantage of the income he was getting from working at the agency, usually spending it on Chazuke, his favorite thing. While the agency's pay wasn't the best, it was more then enough for Atsushi. He had a roof over his head that wasn't a cold and dirty basement. He still slept in a small space, it was still better then before.

Actually, he preferred to sleep in small spaces. He supposed it was just something he got so used to, that it was weird to be without it.

Atsushi didn't want much...besides Chazuke there was only one thing he craved.

Love

Much more complicated then Chazuke. In truth, Atsushi didn't really know what love was, in the sense he had a lesser understanding then the average person.

Had he felt it? Maybe. He wasn't sure. All he knew about love was that the headmaster told him he would never have it.

He already figured out that the headmaster was a big liar. That meant that he could feel love. He just had to figure out what that meant.

He asked Dazai once, curious about what his mentors answer would be. Dazai had said all he knew about it was that love came in different forms and you just kind of knew when you loved someone.

That didn't make much sense to Atsushi, but it was better then nothing.

Dazai also said that he loved all women, and Atsushi asked in turn how that worked. He said that not all women loved him back, and those who felt any attraction were nowhere near as passionate as himself. None of his relationships worked out.

Really not a great example of love, Atsushi had realized.

Kunikida didn't seem like a good person to ask either, he had an ideal of love...but it seemed so specific.

In truth, no one at the agency seemed like a good source of information in regards to love. They either had explanations of love that were less or more then average, or had absolutely no idea what love is as well.

So who else could Atsushi ask? He didn't have friends outside of the agency. The only other people he really met where those in the Mafia.

The mafioso's didn't seem like a good source either.

But, when Atsushi ran into Chuuya Nakahara in a random cafe, he decided to ask the executive this perplexing question.

"Listen kid, love isn't something simple. It's so complicated that no one can really understand it. There's familial love, romantic love, sexual love, or just plain friendly love. Knowing what kinds of love there are is only one victory in an endless war." He had said matter of factly. He seemed to have loved many people in his life.

"Of course you have to be careful. Love isn't all puppy and rainbows. You can end up heartbroken one way or another. Sometimes the people we love leave us, sometimes they even hate us, other times that just don't love us, or love us in a different way then we love them...personally, I would try not to get too attached, especially in your line of work."

Atsushi had frowned at that, recognizing how Chuuya was most definitely be speaking from experience. It made him wonder if he should have brought up the topic of love to the executive. Yet, he did gain valuable information.

"Chuuya...uh. I don't want to pity you, but at the same time I do." He had admitted to the older yet smaller man.

The older let out a dry laugh. "Don't worry about it kid. Many people in the Mafia have had a tough life, from what I've heard, so have you. It's...normal pity others." The Chibi had assured, holding up a glass of some wine Atsushi couldn't name and downing it in a couple of seconds.

That was maybe one of the most informational conversations Atsushi had had. He never expected someone from the Port Mafia to give him love advice, despite practically asking for it.

Now he knew the different kinds of love, and he knew the risks. Now the question was:

"Should I put my heart out and risk harm or should I keep it tucked away so safely not even the good can reach it?"
