chuuatsu dynamic in a mafia au is some good shit.
personally think that chuuya/atsu dynamic is based on understanding and respect between the two parties, i know their positions/rank in the mafia is different but in terms of between them, they should at least see each other as equals… after a while anyway! atsushi learns from chuuya, and chuuya subconsciously relearn things he lose when he joined the mafia a long time ago. even if chuuya would bash atsushi up whether verbally, emotionally, physically, etc if he ever broke down or something; atsushi would know it isn’t without reason. he looks up to chuuya, they work together in the sense that its based on trust. like a more innocent version of soukoku i guess?
