X Marks the Spot

Soukoku- Double Black. It’s what they call them; it’s their name when they’re together- an identity and a memory in the dust (to be resurrected and dredged out as needed). For all they were double black, their coloring doesn’t quite match. Chuuya’s coloring has always been red- his red hair, his maroon suits, his temper that burns like an everlasting fire. On the other hand, Dazai has always been gray. The dark grey of his hair, the grey of his suit, and the charcoal eyes that belay the sharpest mind the mafia has ever seen. For all they differ in fashion (or the lack of it, depending on who you ask), they always share one piece of clothing: a black x that marks the spot.
