ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 summary: Akira ends up meeting you as soon as he and Ryuji escape kamoshida's castle with the help of a cat. but his head hurts at the sight of you, almost like it's a sense of deja vu
Akira froze in place, his eyes glued onto the scene in front of him, just a distance from where he stood. The camera crew and the blinding lights surrounding the figure sitting down, lifting a cup of coffee to her lips ever so gracefully as the cameras flashing lights go off. A bright, big smile grew on her lips as she posed for the cameras.
A model is what comes to his mind as he watches. [H/C] hair that perfectly frames her face, [E/C] eyes that the softest shade of that color and a kind smile. He jumps in his spot when those same eyes meet his for a moment, she blinks and gives him a polite smile before the crew is giving her instructions for the next photo and she looks away from him.
"She's beautiful."
It slips from his lips, and he doesn't realize it until his phone vibrates, and he snaps out of the gaze of the girl before him, "I'm going to be late."
He quickly walks off, holding his phone as he looks at the map to find the cafe Le Blanc before it gets late.
The [H/C] haired girl looks back to catch a glimpse of him again. The Shujin Academy uniform is what she recognizes immediately, and she stares at his retreating figure.
"[Name]? It's not like you to get distracted during a session." A voice approaching her says as she looks back to see Goro Akechi, the second prince detective, giving her his charming smile as he stands beside the table.
"...no, i just saw someone from Shujin Academy." She tells him quietly.
Goro hums at this, "Plus, with the lack of sleep you've been getting as well, does make focusing harder, you know." He chuckles as someone from the makeup team walks over to reapply the girl's face. "I recommend as soon as we get home, straight to bed."
[Name] sighs quietly, "i haven't been feeling like myself lately." The makeup artist chirps in.
"Is Akechi keeping you up at night, [Name]?" She giggles at this, fulling knowing what she's implying to the two.
Akechi, not as stunned as [Name], answers modesty.
"I've afraid we haven't gotten that far, so we often have nights where we're looking over cases at my office."
The woman blinks at this, "Oh, i see." She looks rather annoyed when [Name] speaks again a moment later.
"....honestly, be quiet for once." The makeup artist mutters as Akechi glances down at the woman, [Name] hadn't heard her completely, and he simply glares down at her.
The [h/c] haired girl was too busy speaking happily to Akechi to even notice the makeup artist glaring at her every time Akechi smiled down at her.
"Ready in 5!"
[Name] jumps at this, trying to quickly get back into place.
It was strange, only a couple days in Tokyo and it's been a chaotic, first he and Ryuji, a guy whose in the same year as him, go inside a castle that was supposed to be Shujin Academy, only to get imprisoned by this Kamoshida guy who was the king. Met a talking cat thing, freeing him and awakening something called a persona.
Barely escaping with their lives, only to fall face flat on concrete floor of the alleyway that brought them to the castle.
It was already embarrassing enough that the pretty girl he saw on his way to finding Le Blanc a couple of days ago was squatting in front of their crumpled bodies, poking his cheek.
Akira's eyes flutter open, his vision blurry and they adjust back to reality, he hears a soft, feminine voice from in front of him, "Hi," he blinks as the voice is heard again, he could see a blurry figure just a few feet in front of him, "welcome back- Are you alright?" He blinks at the sight of the girl, crouching down as she looks down at him.
She wears a smile on her lips as she stares at him intensely before he lets out a quiet groan as he picks himself up. Letting out a hum, she stands up, and that's when he sees that she's about the same height as him, "Hm, I guess not." She puts her hands on her hips, glancing at the blonde behind him, "don't worry, the first step is always tough and exhausting, but you'll get used to it."
His head begins to hurt for a split second but just as it came, it's gone, the girl seems to notice this, "I wonder why you two are passed out in the alleyway that leads to Shujin Academy so early in the morning?" She tilts her head to the side, making him take a step back at how close she leans in to look at him, staring into his eyes intensely.
Kamoshida...
He snaps back to reality thanks to Ryuji's loud voice, "[Name]?!" He sees the blonde yell in surprise, making the girl in front of them smile even more.
"Ryuji! It's been a while since we talked! How are you?"
Akira could see him fumble with his words, cheeks tinted with a faint blush before snapping out of it. "Wait! The castle!" Before either of them could say anything else, another voice enters the scene.
"What's this about a castle? Are you two causing trouble for this young lady here?" The three of them look back to see a police officer, arms crossed as he looks at Akira and Ryuji. "Young lady," the girl looks at the man, the same smile still plastered on her face. "Yes?"
"Are they bothering you?" The policeman checks out the clothes they have on, Shujin's uniforms stand out, "you three are students of Shujin Academy. don't worry, I'll report these two -"
The girl interrupts him, "There's no need! I'm happy you want to help out, but these two are my friends. They were talking about a new video game, and we simply lost track of time." Akira blinks. He couldn't help but think of how quick the girl is to think of an excuse.
The policeman seemed to believe her, "I see..." he looks at her before looking back at the two boys. "Well, run along now before I report you three for skipping." The girl's eyes lit up, nodding her head, "yes, we'll leave now. Thank you!" She gives him a bright smile before taking a hold of Ryuji and Akira's arms, pulling them through the alleyway.
Akira glances down a bit, taking in the girl's features, perfectly combed [H/C] hair with a few pink strands scattered in random places that you could only notice if you're this close to the girl, along with a hair clip on the side of her head and a ribbon holding her hair into a low ponytail.
She must have felt his gaze as she looked up and returned the smile. "...staring at me like that makes me feel a bit shy." She comments, flustering him as he was caught staring, and the girl let out a quiet laugh before letting go. "Sorry." He mumbles, but the girl just keeps the smile on her lips, seeming not bothered by it.
"No need, I forgive you. Do you both feel better?"
Ryuji nods his head, "yeah," Akira agrees with him before talking about the castle they were just in. The girl seems a bit interested in this castle, eyes sparking with excitement, and Ryuji felt pride, "Castle?" She asked excitedly.
The blush rises again, "y-yeah, this big castle was in place of the school, even we didn't believe it." The blonde says a little smug.
They make it to the school, Ryuji frowning, "What the....where's the castle?" The girl visibly looks down at the sight of no castle, but it's gone when they hear a loud, familiar voice ahead.
"What's this about a castle?"
Ryuji seems to tense up at the sight of Kamoshida while the girl only smiles at him and the principal.
"Good afternoon." She says cheerfully.
Both adults seem a bit surprised at the sight of her, Kamoshida takes a step back, almost like it was a habit. "...[Name], I thought surely you would be in class by now." The principal stutters, the girl holds up a finger with a cheeky smile, "nope! I was busy helping my dear friend, you remember him, right? He's the 'Prince Detective!"
"O-of course, how could we forget." He lets out a forced laugh, shivering at the thought of the detective that she was friends with, how cold the boy was to them when he used to walk the girl to school. "How about you head to your class now?" She stares at him for a moment. He holds his breath, "alright! Come on," He lets out a sigh of relief as the girl loops her arms with the boys, tugging them along with her.
"Let's go~"
The principal, now realizing what she has just done, looks back to see them rushing inside the school, "h-hey! Wait!" He's too late as the three are gone from their sight.
"Principal Kobayakawa, you let that girl keep walking all over you and the school." Kamoshida says angrily at being mocked by [Name] once again. He has control over most of the females at the school yet when it comes to her, she's untouchable.
He feels his blood boil at the last time he tried to get [Name] under his control.
"That damn detective....has some nerve to blackmail me..." he mutters quietly. "Protecting his bitch...." he grits his teeth, tightening his fist. "She's nothing without him."
Principal Kobayakawa sweats at this. "Now, Kamoshida, just leave her alone and focus on making our school look good for the media."
After dropping off Ryuji outside his classroom, Akira is taken to the teacher's office where his teacher was sitting there, annoyed at how late the boy was. The girl turns to him, blocking the door that leads inside, "you're the transfer student, right?" He freezes up. Did she already know of his criminal record... he takes a good look at her face. That smile is still there as she looks at him with a curious look on her face. He nods his head, and this makes her smile big, "I see, enjoy your time at this school!"
He feels a bit welcome in this new place thanks to her warm welcome, "also, can I ask you for something?" She leans in, shaking her body from side to side a bit with her hands behind her back, "can you meet me on the rooftop after school? If you don't have any time that's alright." He nods his head, and she seems satisfied with his answer and backs up. She moves to the side, gesturing for him to enter before walking away.
He stops, looking at her retreating figure before the scene around him flicker for a brief moment along with her, he blinks, catching sight of pink hair before it flickers back to [H/C] hair. Maybe he shouldn't stay up and worry about his hometown. He sighs and enters the room, forgetting what he just saw.
"Goro!" [Name] happily squeals, wrapping her arms around his neck as he almost drops his briefcase from catching her since she basically threw herself at him.
"Woah! Easy [Name]!" he says as she giggles.
"Can't help it! I'm just so happy to see you!"
He chuckles at this, "I was surprised when you called me to come get you."
Letting go of the girl who bends down to pick up her bag, he rubs the back of his neck as she smiles at him. "I was in the middle of an important case when I got your call. Didn't expect to know you're still here at the school. Did something happen?" He asked as the two walked away from Shujin Academy.
"I asked a guy to come meet me on the rooftop, but he never showed up. So I decided to at least give him time to show up....but I got hungry." She says a little embarrassed.
"We'll stop by a convenience store on our way home." Akechi says. "I suggest not giving your time to people who'll leave you waiting."
The two walk to the train station, talking among themselves before a glimpse of black hair catches [Name]'s attention. Looking away from Akechi, she looks ahead to see Akira walking among the underground mall.
"Is something the matter?" Akechi's voice rings out. He looks over to see what she's looking at, but he doesn't see anything that eye-catching.
"It's nothing." [Name] looking back at him. "How is Sae these days? I haven't gone to see you at your work so I'll like to hear about your cases."
Waiting for the train, the two lean against the wall, "She's looking into the mental breakdowns. Although I doubt she'll even get a lead into those."
"Hm. Right...." The two go quiet as the crowd goes on around them.
"....hey, you think we're doing the right thing?" The girl says softly as Akechi sighs, [Name] leans against his shoulder, her eyes casted downwards.
"... we've been doing this for 4 years, I'm surprised you're starting to get doubts now of all times." He says loud enough for her ears. "I'm sure it's the exhaustion talking. Get some sleep tonight."

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 also on my quotev!
"Dear everyone,
I know what this might seem like, but this isn't a suicide note. You're probably wondering why i did what I did, unlike Morgana who was able to be with you all after the metaverse vanished.....it's because I knew, a little part of myself, was too scared to go back to face all of you.
I lied...I promised everything was going to be fine because I knew if we weren't united, Goro included, I knew Yaldabaoth would win, and humanity would be doomed.
So, I made the only logical move, and I took myself off the board.
Did it work?
Hehe, well, if you're reading this, Morgana must have safely returned back home to you, RenRen...so you know the answer...
" honestly, i didn't think about how we didn't say 'goodbye' just, 'see you very soon' "
