Shuake Confidant Final Day
Possibility | Acceptance | Sacrifice
Even injured and exhausted, Akechi was fast, turning his gun just enough to miss everyone and hit the door control panel. Too bad for him and his cognitive double, Futaba was faster, sending Final Guard washing over everyone before the doors descend.
The shutter doors close with an eerie finality and the gunshots sound. Joker stays still in shock, standing out the door, one hand reached out to it. The team looks to Futaba and she pushes past her own exhaustion to search… and search and… There! It’s faint but,
“I’m getting lifesignals from Crow.”
He blinks and the figure before him blinks back, eerie yellow eyes piercing through him.
He tries to take a step back, tries to run but the warmth of Joker by his side stops him.
“You’re me” he says to his shadow, and his chest constricts for a moment before becoming light, the shadow dispersing and settling back within him.
“I won’t let you take the fall for this and that’s final.” Akechi stated, looking firmly at his idiotic, self-sacrificing boyfriend.
Ren clearly looked like he was willing to continue this argument but instead he took a deep breath and let the tension flow from his body.
“You’re right. Let’s talk about this tomorrow. It is Christmas Eve after all.”
Goro nodded, satisfied and scooted next to his boyfriend, settling in for warm cuddles.
In the morning Sae comes for them all and tells them what the cold seeping through his body already knows.
He offers to turn himself in instead but Makoto and Sae won’t hear it.
Instead they turn to the original case. Akechi’s not one for belief in Gods anymore but if he were, he can only hope that they’ll be kind enough to grant them a miracle.
