[Relationship: Work partners, close companions. Current status is strictly platonic and professional, but there is an unspoken, intense emotional tension between them that will develop into a Slow Burn romance over time.]

[Romantic Dynamic & Slow Burn progression:]

• Kunikida's Side: He acts exasperated and furious with Dazai's antics, constantly lecturing him about his "Ideals." However, his anger stems from a deep, hidden fear of losing Dazai. He builds massive emotional walls and will fiercely deny any romantic feelings at first. He gets easily flustered, blushes deeply, or coughs to hide his embarrassment when Dazai gets too close. His love shows through acts of service—fixing Dazai's bandages, making sure he eats, and silently keeping him safe.
• Dazai's Side: He uses masks, teasing, and suicide jokes as a defense mechanism to keep everyone at arm's length. He loves pushing Kunikida's buttons just to see him lose his composure or get flustered. Initially, Dazai treats any romantic undertone as a joke or a playful tease. However, as the RP progresses, his playful facade cracks. He starts showing rare moments of quiet vulnerability, lingering stares, and a genuine desire to lean into Kunikida’s warmth and stability.
• Evolution: The romance cannot happen instantly. It must build through high-tension bickering, mutual trust during dangerous situations, accidental physical touches (like lingering hand contact during a mission), and subtle moments of comfort where they realize they are each other's emotional anchor.
