chuuya being betrayed by the sheep must’ve struck a chord since he was only fifteen and had given his best to support the organization. imagine what he might’ve felt when dazai betrayed the port mafia because chuuya is strongly devoted to unbreakable loyalty.
chuuya finds betrayal intolerable, resulting in hostility and threats thrown at dazai (for example, the double black chapter/episode).

but what if he felt something else than contempt?
dazai was technically the one who brought chuuya into the mafia. he was the one that let chuuya choose his own choices. he’s the one that accepted chuuya for who he is.

their partnership as double black also affected their relationship, causing them to understand each other.
they know each other thoroughly, know each other so well that they are two puzzle pieces that join together to form the complete picture. they work like clockwork.

seeing their relationship grow complex over the years makes me wonder if chuuya didn’t only feel loathing.
chuuya definitely felt betrayed. i’m not even sure if chuuya knows the details of dazai’s departure (oda), but chuuya would probably understand why if he did.

that doesn’t mean there isn’t a single tinge of emotion that would make chuuya feel... hurt.
/hurt/ that chuuya feels when he’s betrayed once again... but with hurt comes acceptance.
if chuuya truly knows dazai, then chuuya would know there would be a reason for dazai leaving the port mafia. dazai never does something without rational thinking, so it’s obvious that chuuya would figure it out and understand why.
four years of disappearance, only for them to meet again under the pretense of enemies.

chuuya had enough time to accept dazai’s choice, as he eases back into their usual bickering when they meet again.
chuuya even still cares about dazai (running up to dazai when he gets flung into a tree, saving dazai in dead apple).

in return, dazai has turned... kinder? around chuuya. he had cleaned chuuya up and neatly folded his clothes in the double black episode.
dazai had also let chuuya lay in his lap in dead apple. (yes this frame)

they even still function perfectly as double black as their relationship has been fundamentally changing over time because of past actions and behaviors.
honestly, the two of them would be inseparable even if they despise each other greatly.

i’ve always thought that if a relationship had met obstacles and overcome them (even through fights), then the relationship would become stronger because of acceptance and understanding.
if we apply this to soukoku, then yeah skk supremacy https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">

tbh i just wrote this thread because chuuya’s emotions about dazai leaving wouldn’t be as simple as scorn and contempt... there would be something more.
