Scenario request: A bit of angst, what if Akechi have a huge crush on someone because they were always very kind and caring to him and gets genuinely worried about him but before Akechi could confess to them Akira already asked them out (they also go to Shujin Academy) and they agreed to go out with him? How would Akechi react to that? Thank you!

SDFGJKSDFGDF SORRY FOR THE WAIT

Kind of brought in a phrase that is commonly used in Japan as a theme for this one! “Shouganai” is typically just translated to “It can’t be helped/nothing can be done”, and though it can be interpreted in a bunch of ways, it kind of just reflects a sort of helplessness in the face of things that are apparently beyond your control (i.e. fate).

APOLOGIES FOR MY WEIRD, JUMPY WRITING STYLE but I hope you enjoy ;;;;;

Shouganai. “It can’t be helped.”

Akechi couldn’t even begin to count how many times he hadheard that phrase, but he could recall that the first time he had ever heard itwas when he had been taken in by his first foster family. “It can’t be helped,”the couple had said, gazing at him in a manner that betrayed their distaste, “Thisis the one we got stuck with, so we’ll just have to deal.” When he was young, the concept of “fate” seemed unwelcoming and foreign; hefeared that if he chose to believe in it, it would be like saying that everythingin his life was prewritten—that being unloved and abandoned had been pennedinto his life. It was for that reason that hearing that dismissive phrase beinguttered by the adults around him had been so unsettling; the sheer resignation intheir voices never even hinted at the desire to fight. What ever happened, he had wondered, to trying to seize control of your ownlife?As he became older, Akechi’s belief in being able to control his own life grew,peaking at the point when he first gained his Persona. Suddenly, he no longerhad to walk down a singular path; other options had been opened up to him, andhe was free to pursue whatever he wanted.He refused to allow some sort of higher being or stupid “fate” to dictate whathe could and couldn’t do.For a while, everything was going well. He had managed to get close to Shido, andhe slowly began to accumulate fame and admiration throughout the country.Everything he had wanted—everything he had been striving for—was slowly comingto fruition, and even the unexpected appearance of the Phantom Thieves wasn’table to completely throw him off. He was determined to succeed so that one day,he would get everything that he wanted—everything that he deserved.Perhaps that’s what made it all so strange. In the face of these large, granddesires of his, Akechi never thought that his longing for a single person couldtemporarily eclipse all other feelings. He had always been fueled by passionand anger, but his unexpected friendship with S/O prompted a different feelingin him—one that was almost unsettling in the way that it made his heart ache.

The mask that he wore in his daily life usually led to people gushing over him,so the fact that S/O failed to do so during their initial meeting had been unexpected.When they simply offered him the handkerchief he had dropped with a smile, hehad wondered if they didn’t recognize him. However, that assumption wasimmediately dismissed when, upon hearing the announcement overhead, theychirped a hasty, “Akechi-san, right? Hope you have a nice day!” shoved thehandkerchief into his hand, and then hurried to catch the train without so muchas a backwards glance.That marked the day when it all began. From that point onwards, he began tonotice S/O whenever he was transferring lines in the mornings to get to school.He’d catch a glimpse of them as they made a mad dash through the station intheir Shujin uniform, apparently perpetually on the verge of being late. Thoughhe’d considered saying hello, the fact that they were always in a hurry—and thatthere was really nothing to be gained from acquainting himself with them—alwaysstopped him.That was the second thing about them that had surprised him: the fact that oneday, they abruptly stepped up beside him and greeted him while he was grabbingsome water at a vending machine.“Good morning, Akechi-san. On your way to school?”He didn’t immediately answer, his eyes having grown round as he gazed down atthem wordlessly, his lips slightly parted. Then, clearing his throat, he offeredthem a pleasant smile. “My apologies. Yes, I’m on my way to school.” He paused,looking them up and down as he arched a brow and grinned. “And you are notrunning late for once, I see?”His teasing words were met with a startled look and an embarrassed excuse aboutmorning clubs, and a part of Akechi was amused to see how easily this personcould be throw off by a simple comment. Howcarefree, he mused, the smile still plastered on his face as he vaguelytook in S/O’s rapid-fire explanation, Iwonder what it must be like to be so simple?“Anyways,” S/O continued, clearly eager to change the subject, “I’m notkeeping you, am I? I still have some time to kill until school starts, but I’mnot sure if your school starts at the same time.”Akechi lifted a hand and gave a dismissive wave. “Ah, don’t worry, I’m fine. Ihave some extra time as well.”“Oh! Do you want to chat for a bit, then?”It was an unexpected offer, and once again, Akechi was left wondering howanyone could be so carefree as to want to spend time with a high stranger.Internally, he grimaced at the thought of making small talk; there was neveranything to be gained by chatting mindlessly about the weather or whateverother thrilling conversation they were bound to engage in.No, he thought in response.But for whatever, stupid reason, his traitorous mouth formed the word “sure”instead.

Akechi was no fool; though he loathed admitting it, he knew that these feelingsswelling inside of him had sprouted from the loneliness that lurked deep insideof him. It came from his desire to be needed by someone—anyone—and his weakness at being bathed in any sort of positiveattention. S/O’s friendliness had been unsettling at first; for the longesttime he had been suspicious of them, wondering just what it was that theywanted from him. Although they had not reacted to his fame during their initialmeeting, he refused to believe that they were just being nice for the sake ofbeing nice. He had no idea how anyone could be so stupidlyhonest and kind (Maybe they actuallyhave people who give a shit, he had thought bitterly at one point), but hesoon came to realize that that was simply how they were. Worse yet, Akechi foundthat he was growing fond of it—of them.The rush that came from being on the receiving end of their warm smiles andattention had become almost addictive for him in nature; he felt happy in theircompany, and the fact that they were always checking up on him made him feel asif someone genuinely cared about his wellbeing. He wanted to keep a hold on these awkwardly fluttering feelings; he craved moreattention, more affection. Akechiknew that his neediness was almost childish in its intensity, but he didn’tcare, and after a long, almost agonizing internal debate with himself (You don’t need this, you don’t deserve this—),he decided at last that he would take the dive and ask S/O out. Although Akechihad never been interested in pursuing a romantic relationship, for the firsttime, he found himself desiring the possibilities that it could bring.

He had everything.When Akechi saw Akira, he was reminded of everything that he lacked in hislife. Despite the rumours that floated around the dark-haired boy, he hadsomehow managed to flourish like a weed in this concrete jungle; he had aclose-knit group of friends, had rapidly built relationships with multiplepeople throughout the city, and had planted his roots in the mere months thathe had been here.So how could the boy who had far more than Akechi ever did—the boy who seemedto have everything—somehow take evenmore?The shock that registered on Akechi’s face lasted only a moment before hisexpression suddenly fell flat, his eyes dimming. He watched blankly as S/O laughedjust a few feet ahead of him, their lips curled in a familiar smile—the one thatthey had always directed at him. The sight would have ordinarily elicitedwarmth to spread through his chest, but when the source of their joy was theboy whose lips were presently being pressed to their forehead, Akechi couldfeel nothing but the heaviness that had suddenly overtaken his limbs. Despitehimself, he let out a choked laugh.Had he honestly expected any differently? There had been one thing that he hadhad that Akira hadn’t.Maybe “fate” existed after all; maybe it was fate that he and Akira lived theirlives as total opposites. The dark-haired boy would get everything Akechi wouldpossibly want, and as for Akechi himself…Shouganai. “It can’t be helped.”Perhaps there was just no changing the fate of someone who was unwanted.Akechi stood there wordlessly as the couple was swept up in the crowd anddisappeared from his view.

Ryuji’s Birthday

Wrote up something super quick for Ryuji’s birthday! Please excuse the quality; I just wanted to get something up for this absolutely precious boy!

Takes place on July 3rd in the game with the assumption that Makoto was already recruited by then!

A year ago today, Ryuji Sakamoto had been spending his birthday alone. Perhaps that wasn’t strictly true; he had had his mother after all. Despite the intensity of her workload at her job, she had fought tooth and nail so that she could leave a few hours early for the sole purpose of getting things ready for Ryuji. By the time he had gotten home that evening, a huge spread of his favourite dishes were waiting for him, along with a small cake for the two of them to share. And for those few hours, he had been happy—guilty, but happy. He had been able to forget that he hated the new track and field coach, and that his teammates were slowly beginning to resent him for the fact that he refused to go along as quietly as the rest of them did. He forgot that, beyond these same teammates, he rarely spoke to anyone else and that losing them meant that he was losing the people at school who he felt any sort of connection to. And of course, he forgot that no one besides his mom had even bothered to wish him a happy birthday that day. Maybe that was why, when it was time to blow out his candles and make a wish, he simply wished for his next year to be a happier one.

Ryuji was high off of the exhilaration of having taken down another palace. Tricky though it had been, they had managed to get through Kaneshiro’s palace in one piece, and had come out of it with a new teammate as well. With a success as big as this, he knew that it was only a matter of time before their fame as Phantom Thieves continued to skyrocket; it was just a matter of waiting for the change of heart now. As he was never one to stay idle, Ryuji was thrilled when S/O texted him that morning to tell him that Akira wanted to meet up at Leblanc to discuss their next target. He didn’t question why Akira hadn’t just sent a message in the group chat; he simply sent S/O a message confirming that he’d be there and then got ready to leave. It wasn’t even until he was on his way out and his mother kissed him on the cheek and wished him a happy birthday that it hit him what day it was. He didn’t linger on the thought for long. Ryuji took a moment to reflect on the fact that all this Phantom Thief stuff made this year a hundred times better than the last, but was otherwise distracted by other matters. His brain was immediately occupied with thoughts of what kind of meeting they’d be having today, alongside potential suggestions for their next target. By the time he had arrived at Leblanc, Ryuji was absolutely bursting with things to say. And yet as soon as he walked through the door to the café, he was rendered completely speechless. “Happy Birthday!” The chorus of voices that greeted him belonged to a very familiar group of teens; the very same who he had been spending the past few months with and who had become so incredibly important to him in the short time he had known them. His wide-eyed, bewildered gaze flickered wildly between everyone who was present: Akira, Ann, Yusuke, and Morgana were sitting at the counter, while Makoto and S/O stood to the side, the latter holding a cake box in their hands. Even Sojiro was present, standing behind the counter with his lips quirked upwards in a wry smile. All he could do was stand there and gape like a fish. When he failed to utter a single noise even after a few solid seconds had passed, his friends laughed. “Geez, Ryuji! Say something!” Ann grinned, spinning around in her seat to fully face him. “I think we broke him,” came Morgana’s voice, “He’s not moving.” Ryuji was vaguely aware of Akira quietly shushing the feline, but then his focus went entirely to S/O, who had approached him with a smile on their face. “We baked you a cake!” they chirped, a confession that startled Ryuji into instinctively glancing down at the cake box in their hands, ”And…well, it’s not necessarily the best looking cake, but we tried, and it’s probably edible because Akira didn’t pass out when we had him taste test some of it, so…” S/O fumbled a little with the box before they finally managed to get it open, revealing the contents to the still-speechless blond. What lay within was a lopsided, clumsily iced cake decorated with carefully cut pieces of fruits that encircled a single message: Happy Birthday Ryuji! From just a single glance, he could see where each of his friends had put in their own little touch. And of all the things, it was this awkward little cake that finally got him to crack. “Ryuji,” Makoto’s voice was filled with surprise, and she took a step forward, her eyes growing round. “Are…are you crying?” “No,” Came the blond’s automatic response as he unconvincingly shielded his eyes with a hand, “No, I…shit, sorry. Just…got somethin’ in my eye s’all.” “Hm, I was under the impression that saying is used as a blatant excuse for when you’re cryin—oof!” Yusuke’s words were cut off with a swift nudge in the gut from Ann, who had swept past the tall boy on her path to get to where S/O and Ryuji were standing. Carefully, she took the cake from S/O and offered them a smile. With their hands now freed, S/O was quick to wrap their arms around Ryuji’s middle, pressing their cheek against his chest as they gave him a squeeze. “We love you, you silly goose. We wanted you to know that, you know?” This earned a short, tight laugh from the blond, who let his hand drop away from his face in favour of returning the hug. He buried his face in S/O’s hair for a moment to collect himself, and then sheepishly looked back up to regard his teammates—his friends—who had all gotten up to crowd around them. “I…I don’t even really know what to say…” he admitted, ducking his head a little, his face tinting red. Akira smiled and shrugged. “’Thanks’ will suffice,” he suggested quietly. Ryuji returned the smile with one of his own. “Then…you know. T-thanks, really.” As S/O drew away from him, he lifted a hand and scratched the back of his neck, looking at each of them in turn. “I know this sounds really cheesy and all but…I’m really lucky to have you guys.”

Extended ending: Now that the cake had been divvied up, Ann squinted at the slice on her plate. “Wait a sec, are these roses made out of carrots? You don’t put raw carrots on top of a cake!” Yusuke looked up, his fingers poised in a frame in front of his slice of cake. “Unfortunately, the fruits we had were had too soft of a consistency to create roses out of. For the sake of the aesthetics of the cake, I decided it would be better to sacrifice the flavour if it meant a more visually appealing dessert.” Ann crinkled up her nose. “Isn’t the most important part of a good cake that it tastes good?” “Yes,” Makoto piped up hesitantly, “But more importantly…is that…cat fur I see in the icing?” “Uh oh.” Akira stopped eating and ducked his head down examine the dessert more closely. Reaching out, he plucked a short, distinctive black hair out of the side of his cake…and then another, and another. “Morgana, how much fur did you shed into the icing exactly?” From beside him, Morgana fluffed up indignantly. “Look, it’s hard trying to ice things with paws!” Morgana said defensively, “And besides, I had to do it fast while Boss wasn’t looking! How else were you explain a cat holding a spatula and icing a cake!?” Laughing nervously, S/O held up their hands. “Alright guys, now now…” Ryuji, who had already finished his slice of cake, simply laughed as he sat back watched his friends bicker amongst each other. It was lively, noisy, and he nearly went deaf when Sojiro yelled at all of them to settle down, but his heart was swelling with a warmth that was entirely unfamiliar to him. And when he glanced over at the set of candles that he had blown out just a few moments prior, he knew that he’d strive to make sure that his wish this year would come true; no matter what it took, he would strive to protect these friends and make sure that his next year would be spent with their company and friendship as well.

Yaaay! Seeing as you're open again, would you mind doing some HC's for Akira and Akechi reacting to their S/O being bothered by their ex?

Done and done! :’D

Akira

I think how he’s react would depend on a number of things! If his S/O seems to be faring really well against their ex on their own and they’re the more of the independent kind of person, he may not move to immediately jump in.

Conversely, if his S/O is someone who isn’t quite as outspoken about their feelings (i.e. they’re a pushover, or instinctively don’t want to be rude/hurt someone’s feelings), he’ll be by their side in an instant.

He’s not insecure about his S/O’s feelings for him, so his actions are done less so out of jealousy and more so to serve as a reassuring anchor for his lover. He may not say much, but the look in his eyes and the casual way his arm slips around his partner’s waist definitely sends a specific message.

Sometimes, he might be feeling particularly mischievous, and may press kisses to S/O’s cheek or nuzzle up against them just to elicit some kind of reaction from the ex or, better yet, maing it so awkward for them that they excuse themselves and leave.

For the most part, he might be curt, but polite enough to the ex.

That being said, the above HCs are actually somewhat situational and assume that S/O and their ex broke things off on fairly decent terms and S/O is just being pestered. If, in fact, the ex had done something terrible to S/O in the past and Akira knew of this, then things get a lot more dangerous.

Though he’s still quiet, everything from the look in his eyes to his body language is far more aggressive.

His arm is still wrapped securely around S/O, but he’s also angled them slightly so that they are behind him.

When he does speak, Akira is very to-the-point about the fact that he doesn’t appreciate them bothering S/O. He makes it clear that he thinks their lack of consideration is appalling, and that they have no right to even be close to S/O after past events.

From that point, if the ex doesn’t leave, then Akira will guide S/O away. He’s level-headed enough to know that getting into a physical altercation won’t help, and he’s not so proud that he’d be willing to hang around and butt heads when it’s more important to get S/O away from that situation.

Akechi

Akechi’s generally more insecure about his relationship, but this stems moreso from his own past and feelings rather than any sort of distrust towards S/O.

He’d make sure to remain close to them and keep a good hold on their hand or waist, and while his expression is pleasant enough, you can bet that he’s not the least bit pleased that S/O’s ex has come to bother them.

He grits his teeth and stays quiet if his S/O is someone who isn’t afraid of taking care of themselves and/or if their ex isn’t being too aggressive, as he doesn’t want to be seen as overbearing.

However, if S/O is visibly uncomfortable and is having difficulty had telling their ex to leave them alone, that’s when he’ll step in.

He has his calm, friendly, “Detective Prince” mask up when addressing the ex. He doesn’t get aggressive or snarky; just politely requests that they leave S/O be as they’re obviously not comfortable in their presence. Otherwise, if S/O is sensitive to having attention called onto them like that, he puts the blame on himself instead (i.e. says that he wants to spend more time with S/O alone, that he’s the one who isn’t comfortable with how the ex is speaking to them, etc).

He’s polite all the way through, and generally just does an A+ job at hiding his irritation and jealousy.

Alternatively, if S/O’s history with his ex is less than pleasant and he knows of the circumstances, he doesn’t even let the ex get close to them if he can; he’s immediately on his guard and sets himself between the two, and although he is still smiling, there’s definitely something vaguely threatening about his stance and his tone of voice.

He’s still fairly polite, but heavy sarcasm leaks into his speech as he tries to ward them away.

If the ex continues to pursue even after that, his mask literally falls away and both his expression and voice become cold as he states that they’re utter scum and outright warns the other individual to keep their hands off of S/O.

Nothing more really needs to be said at that point, so he’d then pull S/O close and guide them away.

You’ve been matched with...

@seraphsword-seraphs​ aaaAAA APOLOGIES FOR THE LONG WAIT I’ve been sluggishly trying to get though reqs and rl at the same time so :’DD Thanks for sending in a matchup req, and I hope you enjoy!

Also fyi that the owl cafe in Tsukishima is absolutely a thing and I’d def rec it for real if anyone is in the Tokyo area. :’D

I feel like you and Futaba would get along grandly! She’s someone who has a fantastic sense of humour and will probably not only be able to appreciate your jokes, but will be more than happy to fire back some puns of her own (to the great exasperation of any of your friends who happen to be in your vicinity at the time). Additionally, she possesses a brilliant mind and would be a more than capable mental sparring partner if the urge to have a friendly debate ever arose! She loves learning about new things and would be more than happy to bestow whatever random information she comes across with you! This is especially true when it comes to topics on the mind, as both you and Futaba share an interest on learning about psychology. Futaba’s gone through a lot and, while she’s gotten better, she still has some difficulty trusting others. For this reason, I feel like she would be able to empathize with your own insecurities and feelings; despite her carefree demeanor, she’d likely pick up quite quickly on your doubts and worries. She’ll be patient and understanding if your insecurity ever rears its head in regards to her intentions, and will reassure you that she wants to stay by your side as many times as it takes. Admittedly, she may not always the best at comforting you when you’re feeling particularly emotional about something due to her own awkwardness, but she always tries to make sure that you at least know that she’s there for you. She’ll be there if you need to talk, and will try her best to cheer you up…though sometimes her own emotions start peaking and she’ll be right there getting mad right alongside you on your behalf! Sometimes, though, simply having someone who understands and expresses the same feelings as you do may help you overcome whatever hurdle is in your way. She won’t write off your feelings, but will seek to understand them while also trying to help you grow. She’s not great at taking care of herself, but Futaba will at least make sure to keep a close eye on you, especially when you ignore your own needs in favour of others. She really admires the side of you that goes out of her way to help friends, but worries about the consequences of you doing it too often. Futaba’s not above telling someone off if she thinks that they’re imposing themselves too much on you, though she’d bring the issue up with you in a gentler manner if she chooses to approach you about it. Overall, your relationship with Futaba is one that is fun and engaging, but is also one where you both mutually understand and support one another!

HCs (w/ Futaba):

Futaba loves it when you get particularly passionate about something! She enjoys the fact that you have so much to say about it, and if it’s something that she’s into as well, she adores having someone to have a nice discussion or debate with. She also finds that she learns a lot just by listening to you talk, which is always a huge bonus for this girl. It might even become somewhat of a tradition for the two of you to have a nightly discussion where, along with sharing things about your day, you choose a specific topic neither of you know a lot about but are interested in and do a little bit of research together.

Whenever a new pair of Pokemon games comes out, you can bet that Futaba will get whichever version that you don’t! You play the games together, trade Pokemon, and Futaba probably names her main team after the Phantom Thieves. She’ll have one named after you too! She would have asked you what your favourite Pokemon was at one point and made sure to breed one with perfect IVs so that she could train it up. It never leaves her team, partly because she’s biased, and partly because of how much of a powerhouse she made it.

Ever heard of cat—and even bird—cafes? Because those are pretty commonplace in Tokyo, and upon learning that you like both     creatures, Futaba would probably surprise you with a trip to one! This can either stem from just an everyday urge to see you smile, or to help cheer you up if she notices that you’re feeling particularly down. They be a little crowded sometimes, but she’s willing to brave the crowd if it means seeing you happy (plus, she feels quite a bit safer in your presence anyways, so it all works out)! She ends up doing some research to find all the different cafes available around you guys, and saves some of the cooler ones—like the owl café down in Tsukishima—for special occasions.

I think that initially in your relationship, she’s not always totally sure what to do when something is making you feel particularly emotional, and this just stems from her own lack of social interaction. However, she’ll try her best to make sure that you know that she’s there for you! At first this may be just be through making sure that you’re well fed (if you like curry, she’ll be demanding lots of that from Sojiro) and staying near you, but as your relationship develops and if you’re comfortable with it, more physical affection comes into play (i.e. handholding, cuddling up, etc)!

 HCs (w/ Phantom Thieves)

I like to think that the back and forth joking between you and Futaba—especially the puns—tends to drive some of your friends insane. Because of the fact he lives at Leblanc though, Akira tends to get the brunt of it, but he at least seems fairly neutral to all of the jokes…up until the point where, in the middle of a PT meeting, he makes his own punny jokes. Then everyone realizes that you’ve both rubbed off on him. In all seriousness, though, you probably do get to spend a fair time with Akira because of his relationship with both Futaba and Sojiro! He proves to be a very reliable friend, and he’s probably one of the best to confide your innermost thoughts to because he’s a great listener and isn’t one to judge.

Whenever you and Makoto find common ground on a specific topic, you two have a lot to talk about! While the student council president is generally quite collected, she absolutely beams when it comes to having a friendly discussion or debate with you on a shared interest. Sometimes, after you’ve had your initial chat, she’ll come visit you on a different day just to drop off some books on the topic that she had checked out for you because she thought you’d enjoy them.

When he learns that you like to draw and design characters, Yusuke’s interest will definitely be piqued! He may ask you to share some of your work with him if you’re willing, and will probably be very curious to ask you about the finer points of your work (i.e. why you chose to design something in that way, your colour choices, etc). Of course, you don’t necessarily have to answer him in a serious manner, but he’ll be quite delighted to know that someone else in his group of friends enjoys drawing. He may go on to ask what other creative outlets you have as well!

 Short scenario:

You and Futaba briefly try to introduce Yusuke to the world of fanfiction and ships. “I’m still not sure I understand.” Beside you, Futaba let out an exasperated sigh. “Look, Inari, it’s just something that fans like to write, okay? Sometimes it’s so that they can expand the story that’s already there, and other times it’s so that they can develop their ships.” Your gaze darted back to Yusuke just in time to see the poor boy’s confused frown deepen even further. Sensing the question that was coming even before it could be asked, you opened your mouth. “Yusuke—” Too slow. “I have heard that term many times, yet I still fail to understand why anyone would seek to introduce fleets of ships in every piece of ‘fanfiction’ that they write. What is this fascination with ships?” Futaba flopped against your side, her face buried in your shoulder as she let out a short laugh. Taking this as your cue (and finally, your first opportunity) to talk, you held up a hand. “Like…’relationship’, Yusuke. A ‘ship’ is when you pair two people or things up, and if you support a specific pair, you say that you ‘ship’ them.” There was a moment of silence as Yusuke digested this information. Then, his face lit up. “Ah, I see! So it can be used as both a noun and a verb.” Yusuke folded his arms across his chest and hummed thoughtfully. “I suppose it is not unlike capturing the essence of love in a painting, only done through the medium of writing instead of the visual arts.” You thought about how to respond to that. He wasn’t entirely off, but it probably wasn’t quite as grand or…refined as he seemed to think it was. In the end, you just settled for nodding. The boy nodded back, the smile on his face indicating that he was satisfied and thought himself properly educated now. “I see. So by that token, I suppose that you and Futaba would be considered a ‘ship’ if I were to use the term correctly.” Your girlfriend finally lifted her head to grin at Yusuke. “You got it, we’re the best ship! You picked that up faster than I expected, Inari.” Yusuke’s expression grew more confident. “And I must say then, that I…’ship’ the two of you. You certainly make for a good couple…though I do continue to question your tastes in humour at times.” You weren’t sure what made you grin more; Yusuke attempting to--and, arguably, successfully--using the term “ship”, or the exasperation in the latter half of his comment. Just as you were about to thank him, however, he glanced at the clock on the wall and let out a little “ah”. “It’s nearly time for the half-price sale at the grocery store! As I ‘ship’ myself with such sales, I must depart at once to ensure that I arrive in time.” The two of you watched as he suddenly got up, and Futaba was visibly trying not to laugh. “Uhhhh, Inari, that’s not really—“ “It was lovely conversing with you both today,” he interrupted, hastily gathering up his things, “And thank you for teaching me about ‘fanfiction’ and ‘ships’. I will return at a later date to learn more, but until then, have a good evening.” And then he was off. For a moment, you and Futaba were both silent, but then you turned to look at one another. You were the first to speak up. “Think we should have emphasized the romantic aspect of shipping?” Futaba thought about it, and the shook her head and flopped backwards into your lap. “Nah, this makes it more fun!”

HC where Futaba and Haru have a clumsy but kind and gentle S/O?

Aaaa, sorry for lack of activity in the past two days! Just finished up my last day at this job and I was SUPER EMOTIONAL knowing my coworkers, students, and I were all parting ways so aldsfkashdfj ;;;

Thank you all for your patience! OTL

Futaba

Truth to be told, she sometimes finds amusement in S/O clumsy side. It isn’t meant to be ill-spirited at all, but if they manage an unexpected feat thanks to their stumbling feet or butterfingers, that might just earn a laugh from Futaba.

Of course, it is situation dependent; she’s definitely not laughing if they ever actually hurt themselves. Her serious mode would immediately come on if S/O ever accidentally cut themselves, took a nasty fall, or otherwise did something to cause themselves injury.

She’s not the best with a first aid kit, but she’d insist on tending to them regardless.

It’ll take her a few tries to get it right, but she won’t give up! S/O will get to see her with her brows scrunched up and her tongue poking out from the corner of her mouth in concentration.

It’s pretty cute.

If S/O is a Phantom Thief, she takes particular care to watch them during battles and ensure that they have proper support from her when needed! 

Once in a while she and her S/O might go rollerblading, skating, or some other sort of activity! In such cases, Futaba will absolutely ask S/O to hold her hand. She claims that it’s to make sure that they don’t fall (and that probably is partly true), but she honestly is also just too embarrassed to admit that she wants physical affection.

S/O will probably pick up on this though, and of course be happy to oblige.

…Holding hands sometimes proves to be more of a danger than help if S/O happens to fall, as they may inevitably pull Futaba down as well.

Still, in an conscious effort to keep her safe, they’d likely wrap their arms around her and try to take the full brunt of the fall.

Futaba always feels guilty, but also maybe a little happy as well knowing that they’re always looking out for her.

She’s just 100% taken by their kind nature and, while she acknowledges the clumsiness to be a part of them, also acknowledges that it’s just one small part of the whole package that she loves.

Haru

Haru probably finds S/O’s clumsiness to be endearing. She thinks it’s kind of cute, and will offer to gently kiss the pain away if they were to sustain a small injury like a bruise.

However, because of their track record, she also becomes easily worried about them whenever she perceives them to be in a dangerous situation (i.e. in the middle of a battle if they’re a Phantom Thief).

She makes a conscience effort to keep an eye on them and eventually takes to carrying around a few bandaids and a tiny first aid kit in her purse, just in case.

Despite this, Haru tries not to coddle them too much and respects their space! She’ll ask if she can tend to them as opposed to just jumping right in.

Part of the reason she wants to take care of them stems from just how often she feels that they take care of her; she wants to be able to return the favour and show them that she wants to be able to fulfill a similar role for them.

If S/O were ever to ask her to help them with their clumsiness, Haru would assure them that they don’t have to change themselves, but will be willing to assist if they really insist!

One way they practice being more graceful is dancing together. Haru’s pretty well-trained thanks to her background and is easily able to lead S/O…though getting through a dance without treading on her toes is sometimes a challenge.

Haru doesn’t really mind though; she offers only positive reinforcement and gentle advice. 

At the end of the day, she doesn’t mind if her partner is a little clumsier than others; it doesn’t change her feelings for them in the slightest.

(~OUO)~ NEW BLOG NEW BLOG!!!

Open for business

That sounds more like something to say for the cafe.  Either way, welcome dear phans; we’ve decided to open a place for everyone to satisfy their curiosity about us thieves.  Is it really us behind this screen?  Believe what you wish, fufu.

~Leader

[Hi everyone, this is a new P5 scenario, imagine, headcanon, and matchup blog!  Please read the about and rules before submitting anything and I hope we have tons of fun together!]

Fluffy HCs for Ryuji with an S/O who's shy and quiet and usually asks for his affection buy hugging him or hinting at it through actions? Fulfill my need Flora ;-;

B’) Here u go, friend. Hopefully this is okay!

Ryuji is an absolute sweetheart, but he’s also not always the most aware of the emotional states or needs for those around him if he’s not focusing on that. Sometimes you just need to say things straight up to this boy to get him to realize something.

Of course, this changes the more he gets to know someone, and in this case, he has a pretty good grasp of his S/O and their mannerisms–enough so that he typically knows what they want from him.

It doesn’t bother him that they aren’t verbal about wanting his attention once in a while!

The hugs are easy for him to associate with the desire for affection, and he’s always quick to return them! He really likes them himself, and his delight might show itself as a little grin on his face.

The grin is at least some parts embarrassed and some parts smug if said hug is initiated in front of any of their friends. (”Y-YEAH THAT’S RIGHT, MY S/O IS SUPER CUTE. U JELLY?”)

Now, the hinting for affection can be hit or miss depending on what S/O is doing, at least in the beginning. With time though, he starts to get much more in-tune with what each little action means.

For instance, early on in the relationship, Ryuji might interpret his S/O tugging at the edge of his sleeve to be an attempt to get his attention so that they can show him something, but he’ll eventually come to realize that it’s actually a request that he hold their hand.

His S/O looking at him while biting their lip may initially be interpreted as them wanting to tell him something, but Ryuji will learn that this can be one of many ways that they hint for wanting reassurance–which can come in the form of a hug, a kiss, some warm words, or all three–from him.

His favourite is when S/O lightly grasps the front of his shirt. This one was actually the fastest one for him to work out, because with their face so close and right in front of his, it’s a natural urge for him to want to kiss them anyways.

He actually becomes super skilled at interpreting his shy S/O’s actions.

And let’s be real: he thinks that their timid requests are incredibly endearing and they make him melt every time.

Basically, even if S/O isn’t trying to ask for some sort of hand-holding/cuddling/kissing, Ryuji is probably initiating it himself anyways because being close to the person he cares about is something that he craves as well.

A little scenario where Akira is asleep and the reader is watching him and they start to stroke his hair and kiss his cheeks n stuff. But the boy suddenly "awakes" because he was actually acting to be asleep❤️aww I would love to read it.

Done as a HC instead of a scenario since that was all I was open for this time around, but if you want a scenario, feel free to send this request in again when I’m officially re-opened! :’D

Until then, I hope you still enjoy this! ;;

Akira and S/O would probably be on the couch and watching a movie when the former starts to doze off. It’s been a particularly tiring week for him, so the fact that he seems exhausted isn’t at all surprising to S/O.

They urge him to go lie down, and he obediently slides himself down so that he can set his head in their lap. Even though that wasn’t exactly what they had suggested–they had meant go lie down on a bed–they certainly aren’t going to complain.

S/O idly runs their fingers through his hair as they continue watching the movie, and it’s only a few minutes later that they realize that his breathing seems to have steadied; he’s fallen asleep.

Their interest turns from the film to the boy in their lap, and they kind of spend a few moments marveling over how sweet his sleeping face looks.

NONE OF THAT JOKER SASS HERE just pure sugar

Feeling a rush of affection, S/O bends down to press a kiss to Akira’s forehead, and then after a moment of hesitation, decides it wouldn’t hurt to touch their lips, feather-light, to his for just a second.

What was meant to be a second turns into a few seconds because suddenly there’s a hand on the back of their head and, while gentle, it’s firm enough that S/O finds their mouth connecting squarely with his.

There might be a little bit of surprise tongue.

Stop it Akira THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PURE KISS

Of course, when S/O pulls back in surprise, Akira has his Joker Smirk™ on.

Turns out he had been faking the whole sleeping thing just so that he could see what they’d do, and he lets them know that they’ve exceeded his expectations.

EXTRA SMUG POINTS if S/O turns red and yells at him at that point, but makes no move to actually push him off of their lap.

Actually he’d probably be just as smug even if they did push him off of his lap, so. :T

HC Requests Open!

Let me start this off by saying the scenarios currently in my box and matchups will still be done, and probably at my usual, kind of slow rate! OTL I only have ~4 left of the latter and I’m hoping to get them all out and reopen my box for some in the coming week!

This week and next week are going to be insane for me because I’m finishing up my last days at this job, training for my next one in September, and will be transitioning into my summer teaching as well! I don’t want to leave this blog without a steady stream of content though, so I want to take some HC requests since they’re much faster for me to type up! Requests will close in a few hours (~12-1am PST) but until then, feel free to send them in!

Rules

No NSFW this time around! ;; Sorry!

1-2 characters max still stands!

If you are waiting on a scenario request you sent in and would rather it be done as a HC (if just for a sake of speeding things up), feel free to send an ask letting me know! Just specify what it was that you had asked for!

I think that’s it! <3 c: If there’s anything you want to see from me, go for it!

Woo. Since you are again open, What if Akira and Akechi discovered that their s/o was lying and acting to be scared of thunderstorms just to get their attention

/NYOOMS THROUGH SOME HCS

Akira

Truthfully, I imagine he would have already sensed that something was a little off. Perhaps S/O let that mask of fear slip too easily at some point (i.e. forgetting to react to a particularly loud clap of thunder, acting perfectly calm/cheery when he has to momentarily leave them to use the bathroom or something, etc)

For the longest time, Akira chooses not to bring it up since he really doesn’t think it’s that big of a deal. However, by the third time it occurs, he’ll likely to (finally) speak up.

It won’t be confrontational; if anything, I imagine he’d be holding S/O in his arms, playing his part in “comforting” them when he casually brings up the subject in a soft voice.

“Why do you pretend to be afraid of thunderstorms?”

There’s definitely nothing accusatory about his tone, just curious.

He’d remain collected if S/O responds by floundering for an excuse or carries on with their lie, and waits patiently for them to fall silent before he offers his reasoning–and evidence–for thinking so.

When S/O finally confesses that they’ve been lying and why they’ve been keeping up such a charade, there is literally no judgement on Akira’s face. Instead, he seems vaguely amused as he asks why they didn’t just let him know if they wanted more attention. Was it embarrassment? Shyness?

“Wasn’t it hard for you having to keep up something like this?”

Whatever the case, Akira lets them know that they needn’t be worried about letting him know what they want; he’d much rather that they become comfortable with expressing themselves around him rather than feel like they have to resort to faking a fear to earn his affection (especially since they already have it, and it’s always there for them anyways)!

Emphasizes this fact with a kiss to the forehead, and then suggests that they wait out the storm by watching a movie or something together.

Spending stormy days together becomes a tradition from that point on!

Akechi

Honestly, I think Akechi’s also sharp enough to notice that something isn’t totally right early on. Unlike Akira, he may address it almost immediately after he notices it as well.

It might be the day after the storm that he brings the matter up with S/O. When he does, his voice is quiet, and his expression is unreadable.

“You’re…not really afraid of storms, are you?”

There is a hint of accusation behind his words, but it’s fueled by hurt more than anger; he can’t understand why S/O would lie to him about something so baffling, but the fact that they were dishonest at all would be at least a little upsetting to him.

It’d be pretty clear to S/O how Akechi is feeling at that moment. Perhaps they hesitate, or maybe they immediately come clean, but in either case, they do eventually reveal the truth one way or another.

?

???

????????

If Akechi was baffled before about why they’d lie about being scared of storms, he’s extra confused to learn that it was a ploy to get attention from him. He’d then take a moment to wonder to himself whether he’d been at all neglectful due to his work or other commitments.

If this is the case, he apologizes, but even if it’s not, he’ll tell S/O that they simply could have just pulled him aside and told him this.

He can’t really be mad; a part of him knows what it’s like to crave attention from someone, and he wonders if he would have resorted to something similar had he ever felt like S/O wasn’t paying enough attention to him.

In the end, he sits down to have a talk with S/O about what they can do to help foster communication in their relationship and progress from here!

They still spend stormy days together cuddled up and just relaxing with a book or something!

…Eventually Akechi becomes so accustomed to it that he probably feels a little uncomfortable if he’s out working/doing something without S/O during any stormy days.

Pretty much rushes into his S/O’s waiting arms ASAP every time!

rEALLY RISKY ASK NUMBER SEVEN!
