What happens when the hero gets tired? When everything is resting on their shoulders and they've just had enough? When all the hero wants is to take a break or for once have someone take care of him instead of the other way around? The hero breaks. They've finally had enough. *

Before Wonderlands x Showtime happened to him, Rui had always felt so alone (apart from when he was with either both or one of his childhood friends, of course). He was prejudiced, ignored, avoided, et cetera. He stayed quiet during class and had never spoken much to anybody in school other than the school nurse, his teachers, his friend Kusanagi Nene, his other friend Akiyama Mizuki and some of their friends. Nobody had heard too much of his voice before. His past left him scarred and insecure and his chronic disease didn't help with his depression... and neither did those rumours. But what if a specific popular sunset-haired boy were to invite him to his band and befriend him? Tsukasa, a popular highschooler known for his amazing singing voice, determination, charisma and arrogance, just so happened to stumble upon the supposed teenage arsonist (rumoured to be planning to blow up the school) at Phoenix Wonderland, singing and telling stories softly and sweetly with the help of several cute little robots to a group of little children, who all had big smiles plastered across their faces. Would he be a good recruitment for the band? Would he be a hazard to anyone? Most importantly, if any of his classmates, or ANYONE, were to catch him hanging out with Kamishiro, would his reputation falter?

Dazai tries to commit suicide by jumping off of the Port Mafia headquarters building... but then a certain redhead from his past saves him. Will the two former partners in crime be able to reconnect, or will one's inability to love others and the others' inability to love himself get in the way? This fic will include some other ships like Shin Soukoku, Ranpoe, and Gin & Higuchi Note: Cover art is not mine, I found it on pinterest.
