Soukoku

Soukoku is the slash ship between Nakahara Chuuya and Dazai Osamu from the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom.

Canon
Both Dazai and Chuuya were paired up with each other when they were 15 years old. The man who had paired them was Mori Ougai, the new chef of the mafia, who reasoned that "only diamonds can be polished by diamonds."

The duo was named Soukoku after one memorable night during the events of "Dragon's Head Rush", where they had defeated an enemy organization over night. This resulted in them recognizing themselves as Soukoku, or Double Black, among other enemy organizations. They are also known as "Yokohama's vicious duo". The pair also have unconditional trust with each other. As stated in Bungou Stray Dogs: Dead Apple guide book, "The core characterization of Dazai and Chuuya's partnership is based on pure trust where both of them are capable of leaving each other's life on the other's hand without a second thought or doubt." (pg 54-55).

Their partnership collapsed for four years when Dazai decided to leave Port Mafia and join the Armed Detective Agency. However, their partnership, resumes during the conflict with the foreign organization The Guild. Also, the duo seem to be know each other to a questionable point when Dazai says he knows Chuuya's "Thrust", to which, Chuuya responds with "I was just going easy on you".

In Dead Apple Chuuya uses corruption to save Dazai, even if Ango says him that he's dead for sure.

When the duo falls on the ground Dazai forces Chuuya to rest on his lap, because he doesn't want to save him if the fog separates Chuuya from his ability.

Fanon
It is believed that Soukoku is a business ship since it earns and buys a lot, however, many disagrees as well. It
