Summary
The matter of when is not important, but they're now sitting there, hand in hand. Neither of them would look at the other to fully acknowledge their presence. However, this is not to be mistaken for mutual displeasure. No, they very much enjoy holding hands like this, but neither really wants to say anything about it.

Summary
He takes off his glasses and pinches the nose of his bridge, "First of all, never ever make the mistake of thinking I'm related to Darwinist again. I don't have any deranged or unhinged relatives that I know of and I don't want to be associated with them even if they make themselves known."

It didn't matter what they did, as long as he was there.

Summary
"I do miss him," Akira admits softly, after a few minutes of nothing but an occasional hitched breath. From the watery sound of his voice, it's clear he's still crying. Something about it makes Ryuji's heart twist.
"That's cool, dude," Ryuji says, and then internally beats himself up for his total inability to say anything helpful. Akira must agree with his internal monologue, because they shake their head minutely against his chest.
"I was... I mean despite everything, I was always..." His voice catches and he takes a measured breath, self-soothing. "It's different. I'm still..."
"It's okay, man. I get it," Ryuji says, absolutely not getting it. But he squeezes Akira closer and rubs his shoulder and hopes it'll help and that he can't feel the rapid heartbeat pattering in Ryuji's chest.
—
Ryuji's got feelings for Akira, Akira's got feelings for Akechi, and Akechi's dead. Probably. Or he's in the produce aisle while Ryuji's just trying to get some groceries, because why wouldn't he be?

Summary
The adrenaline of flying a mission always made him sharper, cleared the fog from his mind and let him focus on what really mattered, his brain speeding ten times faster than normal, judging and acting quicker and more accurately than in any training scenario.
That’s why it wasn’t really surprising that this was the moment the realization finally hit Rooster. Inconvenient, though.

Summary
All Goro Akechi wanted was to be a well-respected detective. If that meant enduring a slew of meaningless fluff cases assigned by the higher-ups, so be it. If it meant spending his free time chasing after baseless rumors about a high school gang of self-described "social reformers", fine.
Except the rumors aren't so baseless after all, and as he attempts to catch these 'Phantom Thieves' in an actual, documented act of wrongdoing, he finds himself becoming entangled with the gang more deeply than he ever intended - all thanks to their leader, who decided to take a special interest in him. An obnoxiously flirtatious interest.
