Summary
For one of the first times in his life, Akechi’s speechless. He knows what his old self would say—You couldn’t possibly understand how I feel, attic trash—but Akechi is tired. Tired of his old self swirling in his heart, full of rage. Tired of his “new” self poised in his mind, which is so stuffed with rationality and psychoanalysis that he’s nothing more than a cast off shell. He’s just fucking tired.
“Listen,” Akira continues. “Why don’t we just…start over? I know that might be difficult given what we’ve been through, but you came back here for a reason, right?”
Akechi almost barks out a laugh. Typical Kurusu, with the keen ability to read him so well. With the quiet charisma he begrudgingly admired. It tugs and pulls at his chest like a puppet on strings.
“You haven’t changed,” Akechi says.
Akira grins sheepishly, placing a hand on his neck. “Play me at chess, and you’ll figure out what has.”
OR:
Seven years later, Akira and Akechi begin again.

Summary
Coughing, to cover up that he had, in fact, burned his tongue, Goro replied the first thing that came into his distracted mind, “I don't think I've ever met someone like you.”
It was weird how sad this boy's smile turned all of a sudden.
“Maybe in another life.”
Goro Akechi isn't sure why this weird boy keeps on getting blackmailed. But apparently he's the only one he can turn to and apparently Akira Kurusu knows him quite well and apparently he'd been already in love with him before he ever met him.

Summary
Goro can't quite figure out why so many people keep acting like they're his friend. (Or: the one where the Phantom Thieves decide to know thy enemy, befriend thy enemy, love thy enemy, crush on thy enemy).

Summary
“We got attacked by a group of shadows,” she says. “They hit Crow with something… weird.”
“From what we can tell,” Futaba explains, “It seems to be a physical effect that corresponds with his emotional feelings.”
“He gets little hearts over his head whenever he sees you,” Ryuji finally says. “We think the more hearts you have, the more he likes you.”
Makoto says, in a slightly strained voice, “I beg your pardon?”

Summary
Akechi Goro is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Akira thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
Kurusu Akira is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Goro thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
And after all, there’s no time like the present. Why make a vague promise to stay in touch when they could seize the moment right after their first meeting? Why not make the first move before their opponent even realises the match has started?
It’s not like spending the day together could somehow change the game completely...
(OR: Akira accidentally speedruns Akechi’s entire confidant track on the day they meet, and opens up some new options in the process.)
