akira kurusu / ren amamiya

persona 5

"good" ending

he's very much the same guy in some ways. he plays up the quiet an unassuming act, but will act cocky and confident as Joker
but the changes are pretty drastic. he's a lot more self-centered about his goals and cares more about personal justice > what's Actually Right
he also doesn't really give a flying shit about other people, but he'll pretend he does
while he doesn't murder people because Phantom Thief Creed, he absolutely would murder a guy if he was given the option to because nobody would give a shit?? he's in control now
HAREM ROUTE because he's that kind of asshole
all of his personas are Broken and OP as hell because again That Kind of Asshole, but he does not have his endgame persona, satanael
literally fused away arsene the first chance he got, sorry buddy
he actually fought both sae and akechi solo.
he maxed out everyone's confidants. he also has max stats, including kindness?? even though his real personality is that he's a dick?
only half cared that akechi died. he's just Disappointed that he doesn't have a ~rival~ anymore. phantom thieves need rivals, damn it
will make a Deal with practically anyone if it means that he benefits off of it.
gets Bored real fucking easily now. he'll still shitpost and stuff but it's not as fun anymore???

[she's right that he probably shouldn't apologize. but he feels like he shouldn't have been the one to save her. after selling his soul off, practically to the god of control for power, he's felt that the only person that mattered in his mind wasn't 'Akira Kurusu', but rather-- Joker.

maybe that's why he ended up separating the two in his mind, saying that. it was supposed to be Joker that saved her. not Akira.

Akira was just an ordinary person who kept to the shadows and watched, so when she actually thanks him, he can't help but actually react for once. it's been so long since he's been able to have a genuine reaction instead of one that he forces out because he's gotten so bored of the world.

eyes shoot wide open and he just.

stares behind the glasses.

be smooth, Kurusu, he tells himself as he finally speaks up]

It was nothing, really. I'm just glad that you're safe from them.

[His surprise is actually very cute. She hooks her arm around his, and continues to lead him away from where they just were. It's best not to linger too long after you just pissed off a bunch of dudes.]

Well, maybe you should let me take you out to eat sometime. It might not make us even, but it'll close the gap a little!

[that sports an actual, genuine smile out of him, easily allowing her to lead the way out of there. because, yeah, it's not good to stay, especially since that group knows both of their faces.

he knows he'll have to deal with them later. as soon as possible once he splits from her.]

Why not make that sometime "right now". . . ?

[finding a restaurant to eat would be very good right now.

and being surrounded by more people would be a hell of a lot safer than their current situation, too. win-win, clearly.]

O-oh...

[His response gives her pause. Mostly because no one in her life has been that smooth. Perhaps maybe one guy could have been, but he kissed her without consent so all attempts at smoothness have been disqualified.

Her arm slips away from his, but she agrees.]

Sure. I work at a place not too far from here. I can vouch for the food.

[It's almost cafe-style, but you can order actual meals instead of just treats meant to be paired with tea or coffee. The only downside is he'll get to see the just-one-step-away from maid outfit her uniform is, but there are worse things.]

[he's trying his best. whether he notices that he's being purposely smooth or otherwise, Akira doesn't seem to comment on it, or even show how he's slightly disappointed when she lets go of his arm.

don't want to make her uncomfortable, after all.

nevertheless, his grin manages to widen just a little, keeping a rather easy, relaxed demeanor - a rather obvious difference from all the seriousness from earlier.]

I'll trust your judgment, Kaname-san. [strangely polite, the way he addresses her. huh.] Lead the way.

[and with a bit of a flourish, he gestures for her to do exactly that.]

[He's lucked out because all her past bad experiences make him look like a gem. Not only that, but his lithe frame and quiet demeanor appeal to her. Better than listening to some blind date brag about how rich his parents are. As the daughter of a politician that's all people assume she wants to hear about. This change of pace is nice.

When they reach the restaurant she greets her coworker, and they quickly get seated at a nice private little booth, but Kaname insists on sitting in the spot where she can see the door. Just in case anyone walks in.]

What kind of stuff do you like? Maybe I can make a suggestion.

[honestly he could care less about her background; it's not really important to him, and it's really kind of boring. nevertheless, he keeps pace with her, walking alongside Chidori as they enter the restaurant and get seated.

he eyes the outfits that they're wearing - they're pretty close to maid outfits, huh? - but opts to not comment on them. if he wants to get on her good side, it's probably for the best not to mention it. . .

he'll allow her to sit on that side at least, but he's being pretty wary himself, in the off chance that those assholes do wind up coming back.]

Anything that can give me a challenge, [it's a half-hearted joke, it seems, before he finally gives her an actual answer] I'm not notoriously picky, actually. I like spicy things, and I've actually taken on quite a bit of food challenges at the Big Bang Burger place.

[he's not joking]

[Holy crap. She may live over in Chofu, but even she knows the reputation of that burger place. She stares in a bit of shock and awe as she tries to imagine his delicate frame try to tackle those huge burgers that would make even the Americans she went to school with in New York shy away.]

Holy crap, [she whispers under her breath as she tries to think of something that might actually live up to his daring palate.]

That's impressive.

[hearing her say that it's impressive makes him feel pretty smug, even if he doesn't seem to show it on his face. he does laugh it all off, though]

You don't really have to suggest me something as massive as that, though. I couldn't really taste the burgers during the challenge anyway, since it was timed.

There's a spicy grilled edamame dish you can try? I think I'll be getting some gyoza for myself.

[She doesn't mention that she also intends to get herself the fancy parfait to comfort herself after all that just happened.

Normally she'd order way more, but she can't go revealing how much she'd truly want to stuff her face in front of someone new.]

I'll take that. . . and maybe seafood nabe, too?

[he's pretty hungry and he's fairly certain that edamame alone won't fill him up, whoops]

[...Oh. She didn't know he was actually hungry. Chidori nods to his suggestion. If he actually wants to eat, then maybe she has another suggestion.]

What do you think about this large parfait? It's too big for one person to eat by themselves, but I don't want to order it if it'd be too weird to share.

[Since they barely know each other and all. However it's actually not too big for Kaname to eat by herself. She's just too embarrassed to be seen eating it all alone. She points to her suggestion on the menu. The one she had intended to eat before is right above it, and is so small it's almost laughable.]

[saving a girl makes one pretty hungry, after all!!

but if she's going to suggest that, he can't help but hum contemplatively]

I don't mind sharing if you don't.

[he has MAX GUTS after all, it's fine]

Then it's settled!

[Chidori puts in their order with the waitress that comes by. The girl gently ribs Kaname for bringing in a cute boy, but she's quick to lay off it after Kaname tells her off. When she leaves Chidori looks at Akira a little more seriously.]

So, I didn't have as much time to look up those Phantom Thieves as I wanted, but I think I'm a little more willing to take the matter seriously. What kind of targets do those Thieves take on?

[oh, he's managed to get her interest in the Thieves, huh? that's good. he can help with that.]

Shitty adults, for the most part. Like those guys would probably count for a change of heart.

Is that so?

[She sighs looking towards the door as she considers her options. She seems a little defeated.]

Then I guess I'll submit them first and see how it goes. At this point I've learned all their names since they're a pretty sloppy bunch.

[The person she has in mind isn't an adult. Hell, he probably would be incredibly difficult to track down because he's an international terrorist. Maybe it's not a job for the Phantom Thieves in the first place.]

Yeah. But. . . if who you're thinking about isn't an adult, if they're pulling crap on other people, I think that the Phantom Thieves would consider it. It's just that a majority of their targets have been adults.

[he says 'they' but it's more or less him. he'll help her out.]

I think if you also write down what they did, it might help their decision. You might want to submit it anonymously, though, just in case they see it.

[since. public forum and all that.]

[Well... the person she would want to submit the most is part of an international terrorist group calling itself Amalgam. She'll have to look further into what kind of targets the Phantom Thieves have under their belt before considering putting his name up on the message boards. Can such a group really go after the person targeting her?]

Mm, because of you I really want to believe in the—

[Oh. The appetizers are here. Chidori's pan fried dumplings are placed in front of her, and Akira gets the spicy grilled edamame. Following that the nabe dish is placed in the middle of their dining table as it rests on the small portable stove that keep the pot holding the food warm. Tare is also made available to them.

Kaname doesn't even bother finishing her sentence. She's already so entranced by their meal that she wants to focus on it.]

[because of him, huh. he finds himself a little prideful of that, and that's the way it should be. having the credit for someone believing in the Phantom Thieves - in their group - brings him such delight that he couldn't simply call it boring.

but then the appetizers are here and he can't help but stare in a bit of dumbfounded silence for a moment.]

This looks all looks. . . [amazing? great? really fucking good] delicious, actually. Do you mind if a take a few pictures before we start? I want to send this to my friends.

[Oh. Chidori pauses and pulls her chopsticks away from the table. Her surprise is clear, but she doesn't seem upset. Mostly she's never thought about taking a picture of her meal before eating it. Then again, she only has one friend to share it with so there's no point. Besides, Kyoko was always the picture taking one out of the two.

She'll wait patiently for him.]

...Sure. Go ahead.

[A part of her is glad he likes it. Wondering if maybe he'll return if he likes the taste.]

[doing just that as he turns on the chat application on his phone to text his friends, sending the following:

I found a new place that has some pretty good food. Here's some pics to show you what I mean.

and a photo is sent after that before he says his usual graces of itadakimasu, polite, before grabbing the chopsticks himself and digging right in, looking rather content once he chews and swallows]

It's good. Ten out of ten.

[She feels a little pride knowing he likes it, but quickly feels dumb about it. Sure, she suggested they come here and she's glad her pick was good, but it's not like she cooked it herself. Why should she care? Maybe after what he did she wants to impress him? Or maybe she's drawn in by how charming he is?

Despite being so frustrated with how swayed she is by him, Kaname murmurs her own itadakimasu before joining him in eating. When the appetizers are gone and the pot of yosenabe is low the waitress brings out the large parfait. Chidori smirks upon seeing it.]

You're not finished yet, Kurusu. Time to show me what you're made of.

[This isn't actually a challenge, but speaking like it is makes Kaname more comfortable than any kind of small talk. She plucks one of the creme filled Pirouline wafers from the parfait. With the end covered in whipped cream she points it daringly at his face.]

Not going to throw in the towel, are you?

[when everything's eaten and then finally the parfait is placed on the table, he can't help but take a spoon, twirl it around in his fingers playfully smirking]

Of course not. This is just the beginning after all.

[and then he puts the spoon with a rather hearty chuckle as he takes the strawberry from the top of the parfait and immediately eats it before diving back into the whip cream himself]

[Well look at that. Those spindly fingers are good for something. She's impressed with his dexterity for a moment before taking a bite of the wafer on the whipped cream end. After finishing off the wafer she dives into the parfait with him.

When they make it to the bottom with one spoonful left Chidori goes for it. Even if it means both of their spoons collide as they dive in.]

Is this where our budding friendship dies?

[A joke.]

It sure is.

[and it's a joke he's happy to play along with]

Don't you know that a man's heart is through his stomach?
