What looking in their eyes feels like♡

𝑫𝒂𝒛𝒂𝒊
like a hot summer afternoon, peaches ripe in trees and cicadas choiring in the tall grass.
Legs draped over the sides of your wooden chair, you rose your gaze from the book you were reading to take in the image of your boyfriend.
Dazai rose a pearly white cup of coffee to his lips and sipped the chocolate coloured liquid. A little bit of foam lingered at the corner of his mouth and you reached your thumb to wipe it.
Dazai flinched at the sudden touch, giggling lightly. His brown eyes flaked with specs of gold glimmered in the soft evening light. Beautiful, breathtaking.
For someone who wished so strongly to die, he surely seemed to bear the nectar of the Gods, the essence of life right behind his eyelids, pooling in his irises.
"You want a sip?" he asked, handing you the cup and you took it.
After taking a big sip you placed the drink on the little glass table next to you.
Dazai's eyes were still on you, warm, happy, serene. His hand slid up your bare leg, gently caressing your skin.
"My sweet bella..." he hummed, words that you knew were an unspoken "I love you"; and you gave his fingers a squeeze before returning to your book.
In the background, the August sun sank into the city; bright and vibrant like your boyfriend's eyes.
𝑨𝒌𝒖𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒘𝒂
like galaxies colliding, lonely starts somewhere in the depths of the universe.
As you laid among the cold sheets, limbs entangled with your lover's, you caught a glimpse of the lamplight that filtered through the windows in his eyes. During the day, his eyes seemed lifeless, a cold, dark grey of stormclouds; but at night they shone bright like diamonds.
And all for you.
You lazily traced your fingertips along his cheekbone, causing him to raise a brow in confusion.
"Nothing. I was just looking at your eyes. they're pretty" you said in silvery voice, digits intertwining with his atop the cotton pillow case.
"How so?" he asked, so innocently, a tone reserved only for you during these intimate moments.
You took a moment to breathe in, the aroma of your mixed scents bubbling up inside your lungs.
"They're like the North Star. When I look into your eyes I know I'm home." you smiled.
Akutagawa only sighed in response, pressing his lips to your temple.
"You're my home too, darling" he mumbled against your hair before closing his eyes, drifting into a sweet slumber.
𝑭𝒖𝒌𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒊
like a land of a thousand fires, crying lightning and gold.
Facades. Masks put on to suit his status as the captain of the Hunting Dogs and one of the world's most fierce soldiers. Cold gaze, sharp like a knife and bearing such intensity that any man could crumble; at almost any time of the day.
But as soon as he entered your home, a sanctuary where you waited for him, all rage and iciness melted away from his gaze.
You could see the change, his stern expression slowly shifting to something warm and kind as you beckoned him to join you on the couch.
"How was work?"
"Tiring. I sure hope you had a better day than mine" he said in a spent tone, taking a seat next to you.
"It was indeed" you added and he smiled so gently that for a moment you forgot all sins of his past.
Sighing, your partner leaned against your chest. His eyes seemed glazed, distant, puddles of amber swirling with worry as he fixated a spot on the wall.
Taking notice of his tense state you combed your fingers through his hair, shushing him.
"You ought to stop worrying so much you know. You'll get wrinkles" you said playfully, earning a smile from him.
"I think it's a bit too late for that, don't you think?"
Still, when your gazes met it was so vivid and tender; citrine coloured irises sparkling with love and hope for better days.
𝑭𝒖𝒌𝒖𝒛𝒂𝒘𝒂
like looking at a crystal lake during winter, a thin layer of ice on top
Thin coils of milky vapour rose from the cups of tea before you, placed on round plates on the table.
On the other side of the desk, your partner stood motionless, gazing through the window of his office. No matter how busy his schedule was he always made time for your little afternoon tea, a scared ritual of yours that you'd been indulging in since the beginning of your relationship.
As you took in his features you couldn't help but notice how his eyes mirrored the sky outside; metallic blue, longing.
Fukuzawa's gaze then slid to you, fingers wrapping around the brim of his cup as he sipped the sweet liquid inside. Even after years of being with him, a cold shiver ran down your spin whenever your gazes met during such moments.
It was somehow like an ice burn, but it was a feeling you adored. The look in his eyes however didn't lack tenderness as he reached over the table and held your hand, affectionately running his thumb over your soft skin.

one thing i really like about fukuzawa and fukuchi is how they still look at each other and talk to each other with such fondness despite everything that’s happened.
there’s very little anger however a ton of sadness between their interactions as the DoA plot rolls out.
when fukuchi was seen as nothing but evil yet fukuzawa still couldn’t kill him. logically he needed to but his own heart couldn’t take the pain of losing someone he cares for so heavily. i find it displays fukuzawa’s humanity well.
the man who always tries to do what’s right even if it’s the hardest decision suddenly can’t because he’s so conflicted. he can’t keep confronting his best friend.
he can’t kill this. they were both so happy and full of life not that long ago.
they even take the time to reminisce on those memories. it’s like the subject is being changed to avoid the inevitable.
look at the way they sit as they talk. fukuzawa having very closed posture since he does not want to have this conversation. fukuchi having open posture because he knows he’s doing what is best.
it really shows how a long bond can really change your perspective on a person.
