Chuuya Nakahara —⁠☆ ¹⁹

Chuuya in love has no subtlety. None whatsoever. If he loves, it shows, whether people like it or not. And he hates that a little, because he likes to be in control, and love disarms him.

Intense and direct. She doesn't play games. She doesn't feign indifference. If she loves you, she'll tell you, she'll show you, she'll defend you. Period. Sometimes she goes too far, because she feels everything intensely.

Fierce protection. Not through Mori's strategy nor Dazai's chaos. Chuuya protects with his body, his voice, his presence. He's the kind of guy who stands his ground and says, "Not with that person."

Wounded pride, but unwavering loyalty. He may argue, he may explode, he may say things he later regrets. But leaving is not an option. Chuuya stays. Always.

Visible jealousy. Not toxic, but clear. It bothers her, she struggles to hide it, and if something crosses the line, she confronts it head-on. No mind games.

Clumsy but genuine care. He's not a poet or an emotional strategist. He shelters you, accompanies you, makes sure you eat, that you arrive safely. Earthly, honest, unadorned love.

With the person he loves, Chuuya lets his guard down. Just a little, but enough to make it significant. He allows himself to be vulnerable, even though it infuriates him to need someone like that.

To love him is to accept someone who: shouts when he feels too much, It supports you when everything weighs you down, and never runs away when things get tough.

Chuuya does not promise eternities. It promises something rarer and more valuable: be.

On the outside, Chūya is a rather arrogant and blunt temperamental man. He revels in fighting, happy to show off his combative prowess and taking pride in his reputation as the Mafia's strongest martial artist. He is not above ridiculing his opponents in the midst of a fight. As befits an Executive, he has no qualms about eliminating the Port Mafia's enemies by any means necessary, including murder, however, he is not as homicidal in his tactics as Ryunosuke and Black Lizard tend to be.
