#atsushi & #akutagawa || Atsushi, the boy who feared his own shadow, stepped into the light— not because he believed he was brave, but because he wanted to become someone who could protect. Akutagawa, the boy who lived in darkness, reached toward the sun— not because he believed he deserved warmth, but because he needed to know if it was real. They were children taught to fight for their worth— one with kindness, one with rage. Boys who never learned how to receive love, only how to survive its absence. And deep down, they only ever asked one question— through trembling hands or sharpened claws: “If I stop proving I’m worth saving… will someone still choose me?” Atsushi Nakajima — the boy who kept asking why he was born, because no one ever told him he deserved to be. He was raised on chains and accusations, as if his existence was a crime he hadn’t yet paid for. They taught him that silence was safety, and that asking for love was asking for too much. He apologized for breathing, for surviving, for not dying quietly enough. He tried to earn worth by saving others—because he never learned how to save himself. And still, he kept going. He touched the broken and called them human. He fought because he believed no one was beyond saving— even someone like himself. But his reflection? --- Akutagawa Ryunosuke — the boy who believed he had to bleed to matter, because pain was the only thing anyone ever gave him. He was forged in filth and fire, a dog trained to bite or be discarded. They taught him that kindness was a lie and that weakness deserved punishment. He wore pride like armor, and hatred like a prayer. He didn’t flinch from cruelty— he called it mercy, because it was all he ever knew. He didn’t ask to be loved— he asked to be acknowledged. To be seen. To be needed, even if it was through violence. Because even rage is a kind of reaching out. drafts... btw😋. #atsushinakajima #atsushi #akutagawa #akutagawaryunosuke #bsd #bungoustraydogs #bsdmanga #gmmtv #fypシ #trending #4u #viral - @hshs.8000
