Summary
Honestly, Sojiro hadn’t looked too deep into Akira’s lack of a date for Valentine’s Day. Was it a bit surprising? Yeah, honestly, kind of. As much as Sojiro teased him, he always seemed to hit it off with everyone around him, even the ladies. Sojiro was an adult, which meant that he ended up spending a lot of time as a wise, passive observer off to the side of the kid’s whole friend group. Which also meant that he’d picked up on a lot of things that the kids probably hadn’t. One of those things mainly being the way that Akira’s female friends looked at him when they thought he wasn’t looking— or especially when he was.
He’d even attempted to make a couple insinuations about it throughout the year, but with Akira’s typical undecipherable expression, it was difficult to tell if Akira was deliberately deflecting about it or simply didn’t pick up on it at all. Either way, Sojiro sort of got the feeling that Akira just wasn’t all that interested in that stuff.
According to Futaba, though, he was tremendously mistaken. On multiple accounts.
or: on valentines day, sojiro sakura reflects on wakaba isshiki, and goro akechi; what it means to love, and what it means to lose.

Summary
“Akira,” Goro says calmly, and Akira finally finds the strength to meet his eyes.
It’s scary, but the world doesn’t end. His eyes are familiar, a comfort, and it scares him more how easily they soothe him, because no matter how hard he searches, he can’t find any concrete evidence on whether they’re real or not. Goro’s eyes are firm and genuine. In direct contrast, his calm demeanor radiates off of him where Akira knows his own terror must be pouring off in waves. Despite that, Akira can see his concern in the determined searching of his eyes, and the tension of his brows.
That Akira knows that if something was totally and utterly wrong with the world around him, that if Goro had come to the same conclusions that he had, he wouldn’t be looking at him like this, makes him want to trust it so bad. That, and the feeling that he owes it to him to say something, lets him overcome himself enough to speak.
“Is this…” he chokes on his words. He tries again, hands squeezing, “Are you real?”

Summary
“Whatever, we don’t need a recipe read-through before we even walk into the store. Donnie, just give everyone a copy of the list so we can go in,” Leo drawls, bored.
“Ah yes, the copies that I have so kindly printed out for you all. You are welcome, by the way,” Donnie declares as he hands them out, earning a chorus of groans.
Raph points his gaze toward the market— named Stock Market— entrance. “Alright Mad Bakers. Move out!”
Or: Nothing has ever gone wrong during an every day outing for the turtles. Nothing Ever.

Summary
He opts to avoid confrontation with it, shoving it down, down, and pretending it is not there. Pretending it is the him here and now alone who is sorry, and not also the boy trapped alone in the dark, with nothing but his own guilt and fear and mind-breaking pain.
or: donnie thinks leo apologizes too much. he's got a whole lot to apologize for, in his opinion.

Summary
“What--” He stops to compulsively lick his lips. His back hits the wall-- he’d started backing up at some point and he hadn’t noticed. He can’t tear his eyes away from the man on his couch. No. The creature. “What are you?”
Martin finally looks up from his book. He looks at Jon. He doesn’t look like Prentiss. He isn’t full of gaping holes that should have killed him, he isn’t covered in squirming, shiny white worms, he doesn’t smell like a moldy, rotting corpse. He looks like a pleasant, normal man. He has freckles scattered across the bridge of his nose, his cheeks. Monsters shouldn’t have freckles, Jon thinks nonsensically.
“I’m your boyfriend,” the monster sitting on his couch says, as if this is a matter that is not up for debate, that Jon has no say in.

Summary
Mitsuru takes care of Akihiko after his injury. As his condition grows worse, though, there’s only one person Mitsuru can ask for help.
Akihiko looks at Aragaki through glassy, half-lidded eyes. “Shinji?” he whispers. “You… actually came back…”
Aragaki looks away, all kinds of uncomfortable right now.
“He’s just visiting,” Mitsuru clarifies.
“Shinji,” Akihiko murmurs, “have you seen Miki? I don’t know where she is.”
Aragaki’s eyes go wide. Instead of answering, he whips around to face Mitsuru.
“The fuck’s he still doing in his room?” Aragaki snaps. “He should be in a goddamn hospital.”

"I Will Simply Have To Come To Leblanc Every Day In That Case" And Other Lies by lumensd

Summary
"This is the third evening in a row you've come all the way out here simply to accost my presence for an asinine hangout, when we both know you and I have more important things to do than waste time better spent on preparations tarrying like fools." He says the word tarrying like it's metal in his mouth. Akira cringes. "What's your real game here?"
"Uh," says Akira, eloquently. He clears his throat, "Well, you—um, you're a liar?"
(Akechi lies. Akira retaliates.)

“He just kind of planted one on your corpse,” say Ryuji.
“It was so weird,” says Ann.
“There was a perverse tenderness to the gesture,” remarks Yusuke. “Seen in a certain light, it was almost beautiful.”

Summary
“You told him you were your own ghost?” says Makoto. She’s trying to sound disapproving, but she can’t hide the note of shocked laughter.
“How’d he take it?” says Ryuji, in roughly the way you’d inquire after a really horrible bug.
Ren thinks about the demon stalking through Mementos cursing and cackling and calling out his name. Joker, Joker! “Uh,” he says. “Badly.”
