    Summary

    “Smile for the camera!” Dazai’s voice rang out, clearly her over the tinny phone speaker, as on the screen a scantily clad Chuuya writhed

    Akutagawa slammed her thumb on the screen to stop the video as fast as possible, dropping Chuuya’s phone like it was a venomous snake, ready to bite.

    Her heart was pounding as she stared down at the phone, at the paused video, featuring Chuuya’s exposed body frozen in a provocative pose. So it was– it was that kind of video. Akutagawa’s face was so hot it was making her dizzy.

    She knew she shouldn't actually be surprised. After all, Akutagawa wasn't stupid. She knew what the Port Mafia’s most feared duo got up to in private. They weren't nearly as good at hiding it as they thought they were. And making a sex tape wasn't so far removed from when they would sneak off together at the train station, Akutagawa supposed.

    Dark Era Chuuya and Dazai make a sex tape. When Akutagawa "stumbles" across it (meaning she snoops through Chuuya's things and steals it), she can't resist this opportunity to learn more about her beloved Master.

    Summary

    Leaning forward, Yukichi braces his weight on one arm over Ranpo, close enough that their faces are almost touching. Ranpo blinks at him slowly, huffing sharp little breaths against Yukichi’s cheek.

    “We can stop if you-”

    Ranpo doesn’t even let him finish the sentence before he’s interrupting, “We’re not stopping. I’ve been waiting so long.”
