So he's an orphan, too. What a twist of fate, for them to meet like this. An ugly mirror to see how Akechi would've turned out if he wasn't raised on holy ground. What an awful life he would've had: scrounging for scraps and forced to commit crime to survive? He would never deign to live so dreadfully.
"In that case, I'll spend some of your pay for your food right now. You'll get the rest of it once l arrive at the cathedral. Sound fair?”
Akira doesn't say anything for a while. Akechi would've taken that as his refusal, but then he blurts out: "They serve pretty good curry here."
He's an oddball, that's for sure. "We'll get that one for you, then," he says before flagging down a servant who quickly takes down the order and scurries to the kitchen. A fresh plate of rice curry lands on their table almost immediately, the aroma so tantalizing that Akechi has to bite some of his bread to not give in while Akira feeds himself a spoonful of his meal.

Here's a snippet from my fic for @shuakeshuwritezine.bsky.social Now And Then: a post-canon piece ft. Akira struggling to move on and finding comfort through cooking, inspired by The Midnight Diner! The zine is packed with heartfelt stories and art, and it was an honor to mod and be part of it 🥹

It's after midnight. The snow has long melted off of Amamiya's black trench coat as the Jazz Jin swells with toasted clove. Lithe yet fit, Amamiya fills it and his plaid pants seamlessly. To the soothing bassoon and fingers frolicking on piano keys, Goro drinks it all in. Of course this would-be corpse would prompt the most engaging night he's had in years. Every cell in his body is screaming at him yet there he is, rooted to his seat drunk on gin and laughter, enjoying the company of his most dangerous liability.
Goro tilts a tooth pick. He should gouge Joker's eye out with it. Pinch the optic nerve clean until blood rivers down polished wood. Instead, he pays the tab and swallows Joker's coffee liqueur-favoured laughter until his back hits the sheets.
Maybe it's the impermanence. The knowledge that like himself, these nights can never matter. Warmth is warmth no matter how fleeting and Joker's flesh burns hotter than brandy ever could. In it, Goro vanishes into the only prison that comforts him.
Amamiya smiles like a man unaware that he'd be dead in a week.
Goro smiles back.
Lucky him.
[MK真理’s art shows Amamiya and Goro at the bar with their drinks and Amamiya taking notes. He’s smiling at Goro, and Goro seems uncertain.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ojrpnyf372obt5wv2tkdfnyg/bafkreidh7hnrfilmoj6ygeq5jotutdf47bydz433s33wh4q777nxxl5mfy)

The quietness in the kitchen was blissful and so was Amamiya's visage, wearing a satin geometric button-up and handkerchief, his hair neatly styled with gel. Haru had asked him to dress formally for the event. His uniform suited him, but he was a sight to take in when he put in the effort.
"Some peace and quiet," Goro said instead. "And maybe one of those." He pointed at the tray Amamiya was holding.
Amamiya chuckled.
"Take a seat." He offered the barstool with a hand, and placed two drinks on the counter. "I'll be back in a minute.
“Keep one of these for me, pretty please?"
"Drinking on the job is very unprofessional, Amamiya."
"I'm too tired to care, boss."
True to his word, after quickly offloading the drink tray to one of the waiters, Amamiya sauntered back into the kitchen, gleefully taking the stool next to Goro and gulping down the drink in one go.
Goro would spend the next couple of hours like that: sat in that precarious stool, chatting with Amamiya whenever he'd come back to the kitchen while they shared stolen drinks.
"For how much longer do you think the party will go?"
Amamiya asked a few hours into their secret rendezvous, eagerly taking the cup of whiskey Goro poured and offered.
"I don't know," Goro sighed, spinning the ice in his cup.
The two of them perched on a nearby countertop, side by side, the edge of their hips millimeters away from touching. "It's not up to me."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ojrpnyf372obt5wv2tkdfnyg/bafkreifrebmzfoxcui6oukt4j3pywbstylnebdxfd7osid7ske57wiwjiq)

He's been standing at the bar for nearly six minutes, ignored. Goro's used to it. Nearly four years like this, and he can't make himself want to be needed again.
"Can I get a drink?" he asks, loudly.
A bartender startles, like he's only now seeing him. "I'm so sorry sir, your first drink's on us."
Goro nods. "I'll take your recommendation."
"Of course"
Back on the floor, waiters serve with familiar, glowing smiles. They would sooner collapse than let them drop a watt. He forgot how much he despises this shit, as he spots two arguing staff.
One clinging to the other's elbow, and— The realization hits him like a gunshot.
Black hair, storm-cloud eyes, and a slash-mark smirk he last saw three years, nine months and fifteen days ago.
[Minkidoodles' art: Goro Akechi, years older, holding his drink as he looks across the crowded room to see an older Akira Kurusu, dressed as a waiter, with his arm hooked around another waiter's shoulder and smiling.]
A hot hole in his chest, the cold bulkhead door at his back. It burns like yesterday. The longer he stares, the stronger the feeling, the louder the repeating word in his head.
Like a kick-drum, repeating over and over: fuck.
It's Joker.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ojrpnyf372obt5wv2tkdfnyg/bafkreidj6n3mau7qigjvusi75anxngp27vfaazro3rxbfoqdkqtpicmlrq)
