The concept of Akutagawa being unrequitedly in love with Atsushi and Atsushi very very slowly falling for Akutagawa too (or not falling at all) is nice, it provides endless angst, it's fitting and coherent with their canon behaviors; but there's this other route for the sskk dynamics I've been seeing going around where Atsushi is the first to realize his feelings - partially also thanks to the ada's help - and patiently waits for Akutagawa to realize that what he feels for Atsushi is actually the opposite of hate is very sweet too, especially every time it's accompanied by unwavering support on the ada's side
