Scars in your heart
A deep breath in, then out. Again, and again.
He’s fine. He reminds himself that he’s fine, that nothing can hurt him right now, because he’s safe here, in his room.
Akito picks at the sore where the cuffs were and tries to calm himself. He’s scared of nothing, a half-remembered nightmare that obviously featured her but nothing else specific.
It’s not enough to call Toya, to wake him up and make him worry.
So Akito is fine. Really! He has to be.
The next day at school, everything’s a blur. He’s tired now, never did get back to sleep.
“Hey Shinonome!” One of the guys from the soccer team pats him in the back and Akito leaps out of his skin.
Stupid, he’s jumping at shadows. How long has it been now, six months? He’s a second year now, he’s older, he should be over it.
He feels An and Kusanagi’s concerned gazes drilling into the back of his head like a hole, and he knows soon others will notice and follow suit.
Because if they, the ones who saw, who rescued him were worried, then something serious must be wrong.
Akito curls his hands into fists so tightly his knuckles are paper white and he focuses on the literature passage in front of him.
Get through the period, then the day, then the week and eventually he’ll be over it.
Tsukasa-senpai stops him in the hallway and asks something, and Akito doesn’t listen because he can see the concern in his eyes and knows he’s trying to cheer him up, which he doesn’t need.
He eats lunch on the roof alone.
Three hours left.
The rest of the day is easy, he answers questions when he’s called on, the teacher looks at him like an idiot a couple of times, but he genuinely doesn’t care if he’s right or wrong, he just needs the day to be over.
Some of the guys from the soccer team ask him to help as he’s walking briskly towards the gates at the end of the day, and Akito smiles and waves them off but it’s not right, something’s wrong because now they look bothered.
Whatever, he’s not going to think about it, he just runs home and curls back in on his bed and now he’s really fine. He’s really actually fine and safe and can calm down and wait for this stupid scared animal in his chest to leave him alone and stop screaming about him to watch every corner in case she’s behind it.
The door opens.
Akito’s breath stops but he swallows. He’s not stupid it’s fine.
He looks up and it’s just Toya and he leans back against the bed. Toya wordlessly climbs next to him and wraps his arms around him.
“Want to talk about it?” he asks.
“No. ‘S stupid.”
“This about singing or…”
“Her.”
“Yeah, ok. Wanna take a nap?”
“Stay?”
“Of course, why do you think I’m here?”
“Thanks, partner.” And for the first time all day, Akito feels relaxed.
[A/N]: I finally wrote a thing based on this post!
TW: Injury, Character death (but it’s not any of the PT), just Yusuke not having a good time in general.
Also on AO3
For what must be the twentieth time today, Yusuke curses his luck as he dodges a shadow’s attack.
It was a restless day in Tokyo, which obviously meant changes in Mementos. There were hordes of shadows stalking the tunnels today, and a particularly bad ambush had left the Phantom Thieves scattered.
Then, to make matters worse, the Reaper just had to show up and chase him until Yusuke was forced onto a lower floor than the others.
From the snippets of conversation Yusuke managed to pick up via Necronomicon, it seemed like the others had managed to regroup and were looking for him. He just has to try his best to hold out until then.
Yusuke chuckles to himself. Easier said than done.
A fire spell comes dangerously close to striking his face.

Makoto turns over and stares at the cream colored wall, and tries not to think about the police radio tucked into Sae’s bag on the other side of her bed.
They’d been using it to stay one step ahead of the police ever since the arrest went out, but according to Sae they’re safe enough that Makoto doesn’t have to be constantly listening to it. Of course, the real reason Sae has confiscated it is because Makoto’s been listening to it obsessively for any news of her friends.
“I can hear you thinking.” Sae says.
Makoto sighs and sits up. “I’m just-”

Ok well you've read all my wips but have this stupid one from the VBS superhero au because it's funny:
They’re all hanging out after practice when Mita casually goes “Hey, is it true your group name was Gurney flap back in the day?”
Azusawa’s eyes widen and Akimine chokes on her drink.
Arata sighs. “Yes, that was our name.”
“Wow, I heard you had a death wish, but I didn’t think you worked it into your band name.”
“Ok one, it’s a racecar reference. Two, it was Souma’s idea.”
“Oh no, that’s unfortunate,” Azusawa says.
Shinonome looks confused. “Wait, what? I don’t get it.”
“A gurney flap is the thing on the back of a racecar,” Arata explains. “It’s a normal thing to reference.”
“Ok but like what does it have to do with your death wish?”
“I didn’t–” Arata says but then he stops. “Shinonome, do you know what a gurney is?”
“No.”
“It’s the thing people are wheeled to hospitals in,” Arata says in a tone of voice that probably implies he added you fucking idiot to the end of that sentence, and Shinonome looks annoyed.
“Oh, I know what those are, obviously, they go down the street all the time, I just didn’t know the word.”
“Gurneys… are going down the street… Shinonome do you mean an ambulance?”
“Huh?”
Arata tries not to scream. “Shinonome, an ambulance is the big white trucks that people drive. A gurney is like a small bed on wheels that people put an injured person on to take them to the ambulance and move them around the hospital.”
Shinonome nods. “Oh. right. Then, what’s a racecar.”
Arata blinks. “Oh, you’re fucking with me.”
“Huh?”
“Akito grew up in America,” Toya says quickly, “so he doesn’t know a lot of things.”
“They have ambulances in America?”
“He grew up somewhere rural.”
“They teach about them. And racecars.”
“He was homeschooled.”

Whumptober Day 2 Prompt: Choking
Summary: The first time Goro killed someone
(Based on this post)
Wordcount: 735
TW: Canonical character death, Akechi being Akechi but in the more murdery way than I meant it last week, a 14 year old justifies becoming an assassin to himself in what is probably the most literal way possible.
AO3
~
Wakaba Isshiki’s Shadow falls to the ground, petals from her – it’s? It’s is probably the better way to think about this – more monstrous form scatter about Goro.

Whumptober Alt. 10
Prompt: Nightmares
TW: Mentions of bruises, the interrogation scene, and Shiho’s suicide attempt though the latter two are only mentioned briefly

AO3
Ann pulls herself up into a large tree in Shiho’s backyard, and knocks on Shiho’s window.
She’s done this thousands of times before, but this time she’s shaking as Shiho opens the latch and Ann spills into her room.
“Shiho, I-” Ann starts, but she can’t make out the words.
“Ann? Ann what’s wrong, do you need help?” Shiho asks.
Ann stares at her for a second, a thousand thoughts flying through her mind, before settling on “…you don’t know?”
“Shiho? Is something wrong?” Shiho’s mother calls from downstairs.
“D-don’t let them know I’m here!” Ann whispers quickly.
“Just knocked over some books mom, it’s fine!” Shiho responds.
“Alright, just be careful!”
“I will!”
Ann relaxes a bit, slumping against Shiho’s side.

1 and 20 for the ask game!!
Can’t exactly do 1 without a fic to answer the question about, but…
20. Favorite fic title?
It’s probably A Character Study Into Everyone’s Relationships With Their Parents Disguised as a Dreamgirls Reference because that title was supposed to be a placeholder but I was never going to find a better one lmao
So, I decided to write another fic. It’s basically me poking fun at tropey RPF fanfics. It’s pretty much crack but I enjoyed writing it and I did put a disclaimer in the notes, but here it is again: I am not against x Readers! I just find RPF fanfiction really creepy and it’s funny to write about!
