HELLO
*KISS* *KISS
mari is on goro. we won today
ok so. goro akechi
𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐥𝐲. goro knows it’s not the impressive amount of double americanos, rather the boy that prepares them. he thinks he knows what he’s dealing with every time he comes, and by the time he leaves, he has a different impression. so far, he calls today it’ll be endearment.
he’ll hand it to him— 𝘬𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺. it nearly caught goro off guard, dropping his hand from his chin and paying closer attention to where the words were leading. and it’s not very far, given how they’re forgotten for the laughter that bubbled instead. a pretty sound, akechi would’ve complimented, had the quick peck to his lips not startled his attention. it reminds him why he’s always at the edge of his seat when it comes to him, or why he hasn’t found a new go - to café.
akechi has to smile at that whole mess. ‘‘ actually, could you try again ? i would love to hear the rest of it. ’’ not that he needs an excuse to kiss him again, but the theatrics are part of the chase. it played well to the fever dream feeling anyway.
@theirwarmth kissing day. ♡

HIS EYES ARE FIXED UPON THE OTHER , inspecting him with an almost scientific curiosity . when he speaks his voice is full of breathless wonder . ❛ please excuse my boldness . but you’re absolutely breathtaking . your features are … so exquisite . have you ever considered modeling ? ❜
‘‘ haha, i’m flattered you think of my appearance so highly, kitagawa - san. ’’ not that he’s never received compliments on the same vein as his, simply not so eloquently put. overwhelming as it may be to some, goro takes it in stride. ‘‘ i can’t say i have, no. though, i suppose it’d do me well-------- i am asked for pictures quite often, after all. ’’

SIR YUSUKE KITAGAWA,
akira is good at setting things in motion. as everything does, it comes with a fault; 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱. goro, had he been on his prime and radiant from his illusion of triumph, would’ve pulled the trigger already. it’s how he knows the only one in akira’s way is himself, and that might just be to akechi’s advantage. his eyes go impossibly narrow at this. a stab to the chest: he hates pity.
‘‘ you . . . you don’t mean that. ’’
𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. in an alternate timeline, his ideal one, kurusu would’ve never continued being a thief. meaning, there would have been no need for the air to be filled with anything other than fresh brewed leblanc coffee. ‘‘ it's . . . odd. i never thought i’d care for you as much as i do. i don’t know how you did it, but . . . ’’ akechi takes a deep breath, the gunpowder settling on his lungs. it’s too late to entertain that thought now. it’s too late for anything, contrary to what akira thinks. ‘‘ . . . it doesn’t matter now. ’’ see ? even his love couldn’t be enough.
he’ll call it that, love, for the sake of having something to gain out of it. in the end, it was a daze, he supposes. threading quietly between deceit and honest to god emotion. so quietly he’d forgotten where he stood, and is now facing the aftermath of genuine care, as much as goro would love to deny it. would love to love with all his heart. it’s not the right timeline, he reminds himself.
the last of his strength, or spite, has him struggling to grab akira’s wrist, direct the gun’s barrel to his own temple, never once breaking eye contact. he waits in silence for two beats, one’s of his heart, and does not move. not even when speaking, despite the near inaudible crack on his voice: ‘‘ 𝐢’𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧. ’’
@theirwarmth. ♡
ill get to those bday asks soon i swear to god i will
theirwarmth.
❛ YOU KNOW YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THAT . ❜ his voice is soft , slight amusement & fondness in his tone . he makes an attempt to steal the dirty dishes akechi had moved from the tables to the kitchen area behind the counter . ❛ i do get paid to do that y’know ? ❜
‘‘ 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫, ’’ and he evades the attempt swiftly, setting them in the sink. thankfully, he’d been so clever as to bring his hair tie with him, and he’s tying his hair away from his face as to maneuver around better. for once, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴. ‘‘ i feel a little selfish just watching you do all this work behind the counter, and i figured i wouldn’t make a 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 assistant, haha. plus, we can talk more freely this way, don’t you think ? ’’
do you think ramen noodles can fix our relationship
you literally fought me to death
"tsk." // makoto
i heard if you frown too much, your face gets stuck that way, niijima - san.
" i would like to remain in touch after you go back to your hometown, if you don't mind. i suppose i'm... quite fond of you. " ^^ @ akira
piece of me. // @gorot
THE CAFE IS QUIET . akira finds it peaceful . though in truth he’s always found the quiet peaceful . it clears his head in all the chaos that is his day to day life . though in the more recent weeks he’s found it’s harder to get a moment of peace & quiet alone . he’s not alone this evening but he’s in good company so he doesn’t mind .
FROM TIME TO TIME his eyes drift to the young detective sitting at the counter , his gaze fond as he lingers a moment before returning to his work . he wonders if akechi notices how frequently akira is looking over him . he tries to be subtle but something tells him akechi has caught on . he is a professional detective after all .
AKIRA HAD NEVER EXPECTED to feel this close or as fond to akechi . their first few encounters were — not ideal to say the least . but he’s found despite that & everything else that he thoroughly enjoys his company . perhaps what they say is true , you can’t judge a book by a cover . & akechi’s cover may be ornate & decorative but the content of his pages held depth & showed more than his flashy persona he showed to the public .
IF HE’S BEING HONEST HE HOPES he & akechi’s story never ends . he’s never found a friend & teammate that seemed to just complete him . the pair of them are so different yet so alike in such intricate & interesting ways . he’s like a missing piece to akira’s jagged & worn puzzle of a heart . not that he’d say that to him , not outright at least . he’s playing it cool .
THOUGH HE FEELS HIS COOL FACADE , crumple as the older boy speak up , his voice smooth & as warm as boiled honey poured into a cup of tea . he glances over at akechi , eyes wide as he hears his request .
I’M QUITE FOND OF YOU , he says & akira feels his heart burn & melt into the ground beneath him . something about those words & the way he says it . they strike an unknown cord in him he doesn’t quite understand yet . what he does understand that the fondness akechi feels for him is undoubtedly reciprocated .
HE SMILES AGAIN , turning away to retrieve a napkin from behind the counter . after doing so he pulls a pen from his apron pocket & begins writing his phone number & home address . when he passes it to akechi his hand lingers for a moment , his bare fingertips brushing against his gloved palm . he feels his face redden a little but he doesn’t care . maybe looking cool is overrated . he casts him a tender smile . ❛ yeah , i’d like that . i guess — you’ve grown on me too . ❜
i wish p5 did more with the implied makoto akechi rivalry. its inherently funny because its basically like..petty nerd wars LOL… they’re similar in really funny ways
akechi heh more like akecpee
