survivaltricks | [catch all for phoenix]

[. . . blinks a little at the pancakes]

[and then huffs an amused laugh]

Oh? Is that for me?

[HE IS KIDDING]

It could be. Have a seat.

[ endgame dad pancakes......... he will put little phantom thief things on them with whipped cream ]

[ somewhere, akechi is screaming about delicious pancakes ]

[and this time, Akira can't even overhear him]

[Akira takes a seat when instructed to do so, resting his elbow on the counter and his chin in his palm as he watches Nick work]

[. . .]

. . . can I ask you some advice, too?

[ this is actually not a persona meme tho it's like when dads only know how to make pancakes and do them for special occasions or apologies ]

What's up?

[who is he apologizing too and should Akira make pancakes for [redacted]]

. . .

[his hand dips into his pocket, fiddling with something completely unseen]

Luna kissed me yesterday.

[LET'S START THERE]

[ he's making apology pancakes for everyone for dying shhh ]

Kissed you....?

[ huh. that's unexpected. ]

[also fair]

Mmm. Don't get me wrong, I wanted her to-- I wanted to kiss her back, but I just--

[. . .]

I messed up afterwards.

[HE MESSED UP SO BAD]

Akira... I think she might be a little too old for you.

[ phoenix gently kinkshames atlus ]

[STOP PLEASE DO NOT REMIND ME AAAAAAH]

[this is not where he expected the conversation to go, and Akira just kind of. blinks at Nick blearily, before he makes a face]

. . . are you scolding me???

Maybe a little.

[ listen........ he is dad what is he supposed to say. ]

[ though he's more concerned about why luna is kissing him in the first place ]

How'd you mess up?

[HUFFS]

Her age is a little-- [WAGS HANDS] She told me she remembers seventeen years of life, so. . . that's the age she'd go with, even if she looks older.

[don't kinkshame me!!]

[as for the second part. . . Akira kind of deflates a little when Nick asks]

. . .

A couple weeks ago I kissed Akechi, too. Not because I have-- those kinds of feelings for him. But because I was trying to calm him down.

[. . .]

I didn't want to keep it a secret, so I told her about it. And I didn't want to hurt Akechi's feelings, so I asked for a bit of time to. . . talk to him. To resolve what had happened between us.

[ yeah but she's a robot and a legit mother figure to part of the game????? anyway listen he's not judging akira for this he's judging luna ]

Huh.

[ crowker kiss........... ]

Did she take it badly?

[PHOENIX!!!]

She took it really badly.

[TO PUT IT MILDLY]

All you did was tell her you kissed Goro and that you needed more time to sort things out with him...?

[ is there more akira crimes, help him get the full picture ]

I--

[GOD STOP CALLING HIM GORO??? he blinks a little, frowning]

. . . yeah. But not because I wanted anything form him, I just-- wanted to make sure I wasn't hurting his feelings.

[HE WANTED CLOSURE!! THAT'S ALL!!!]

[ i'm sorry ]

I don't think that's wrong. For both you or him.

....

Were you... close, with Luna, before that?

. . . yeah. We were close. She's been looking after me this entire time, and I her.

[. . .]

I've held her hand a lot. I've kissed her on the forehead. Nothing more, but she's been--

[. . .]

[a shaky breath]

. . . she's been the whole reason I'm still here.

Glad you had someone. [ since he mcfucking died. phoenix gives him pancakes w a little whipped cream masquerade mask thingy on them ]

When did it turn [ ... ] romanticish?

[ Since holding hands and kissing on the forehead can be platonic... ]

[NICK. . . he gives Nick a vaguely amused look before taking the pancakes and pulling them closer]

I had more than one someone, but I'm trying to be sentimental, here.

[he is just!! thinking about Luna a lot!!!]

[. . .]

It was right around the week we got those stupid DVDs. . . I think.

And what about the kiss with Goro?

[ just pretend hes saying akechi this whole time it hurts me to write ]

[it hurts me to read]

That was-- [mmm] The Saturday after the trial where you died.

... To calm him down.

[ hm. ]

[. . . UGH. . .]

He was trying to rip his page out of your notebook.

I stopped him, and we got into a fist fight.

[ ... ]

And then a kiss fight?

[HA HA]

No, we stopped fighting after that. Then we just got into an argument about whether people cared about him, and about whether he should start being himself around people instead of putting on that stupid pleasant mask that makes me wanna shove his head into a pillow.
