I think something that genuinely kinda hurts to think about is that to a far greater degree than the rest of the Thieves and divorced from the mechanical necessity of RPG party members immediately befriending you to get the plot moving and bolstering your party, Ryuji kinda seems like he latched onto Joker because he was *lonely*.
As I said it's to a greater extent than the rest of the Thieves, so while others (especially Yusuke and Makoto) are lonely, the enforced isolation imposed upon Ryuji by Kamoshida is rather central to his and that arc.
Like, he has no more friends at school because the ones he did have turned on him after he hit Kamoshida, the rest of the students now regard him as a delinquent and are even further TOLD not to associate with him by teachers, and the teachers themselves look at him much the same way they do to you, thinking of him as a burden lumped upon them.
There's something so earnest and sincere about Ryuji immediately opening up to you, giving you his number, asking to hang out. It goes beyond what's just expected in one of these sorts of games and is reinforced by the fact that Ryuji, before you and the Thieves, was lonely.

My heart swells when I think about Pegoryu. I know all my homies are Shuakepilled and I am too — but I am a sucker (a SUCKER) for friends to lovers; for jock Ryuji, the outcast, to discover his sexuality through the quiet new rebel transfer student.
That blend of bromance to romance is so innocent, warm and sweet. The loyalty and protective instincts? Ren awakening his Persona to PROTECT Ryuji? Ryuji throwing himself in front of Ren constantly to protect him in turn? I’m feeling faint.
I also enjoy Pegoryu mostly in the flavor of Ryuji not knowing he’s bi, but sweet country boy Ren knowing his own sexuality and being able to patiently coax Ryuji towards that discovery (gentle “casual” touches, playful flirting, idk very casual affection?? Ren is touchy headcanon accepted) — but also letting that discovery happen at his own pace. Setting the stage for Ryuji to make a move, even if he’s stammering and sweaty and maybe shaking a little after he goes in for the first kiss. It’s so sweet. Ryuji is so in love with him lol

being in a poly relationship with ren, ryuji and ann
pairing: ren amamiya x gn!reader x ryuji sakamoto x ann takamaki
tags: fluff, established relationship, wholesome, cute dates, mentions of food, morgana being a little hater
the four of you were the original phantom thieves and the ones taking down kamoshida's palace!
there was a great chemistry between you from the start and it barely took any time until the four of you started dating
by the time you first met yusuke, you were freshly dating, so he and all the phantom thieves coming after you only know the four of you as a couple
they can't even imagine a world in which you aren't dating! they are so used to it that seeing one of you without the other three simply feels odd!
out of the four of you, ryuji and ann are the closest! after all, they know each other the longest and are the most comfortable around each other, functioning as the backbone of the relationship!
but really, all four of you are close with each other! there's a deep friendship that laid the groundwork to your relationship, connecting the four of you intimately
ryuji and ren are often mistaken as just friends, even when it comes to ann! they treat each other rather casually, leading to them being mistaken for being simply friends
ann too treats the two boys like they are her best friends, often teasing and annoying them, which leads to people focusing on your friendships way more
but really, without those friendships connecting you, you wouldn't work as well as a couple!
plus, people don't always get to see the four of you being soft with each other! for example, ann shows her soft side towards you far more openly than her soft spot for ryuji and ren!
meanwhile the two boys are more affectionate in private! though ryuji does like to brag about dating you, ren and ann quite a bit…
when it comes to dates, the four of you end up going out to eat around 90% of the time! whether it's sushi, parfaits, crepes or anything else, ann and ryuji can devour multiple portions each time! those two really have a black hole in their stomaches…
the other 10% of the time you end up spending at leblanc, occasionally even holding sleepovers there! though sojiro always lectures the four of you not to do anything stupid while he's not there to supervise you…
another person that has to be around the four of you a lot is morgana! he's not only your biggest supporter, but also your biggest hater!
he's overall happy that the four of you found each other, but having to watch you be all cute with each other while he's single annoys the hell out of him sometimes…
