Phantom Thief of Hearts (And a Grappling Hook)

Prompt: 41) Write the fic from a different character's POV. Summary: The notorious thief Joker has a run-in with the detective chasing him down. Shenanigans ensue. Relationships: Goro Akechi/Persona 5 Protagonist Warnings: None Characters: Goro Akechi, Persona 5 Protagonist Notes: Written for @twbmccevent! This is a remix of @ranbinary's fic, of stealing hearts (and atms). [AO3 link]

Joker flies over rooftops one by one, the wind making his hair fly in all sorts of crazy directions. With pinpoint precision, he fires his grappling hook towards the edge of each new building, allowing himself to swing across the gap for a brief moment before getting the device to pull him upwards.

Glancing down at the road below as he moves, Joker spots a familiar face shoving through the crowd of people gathered there. He smiles, pausing on the roof of the building at the very end of the road, watching as the young detective rapidly closes in on his position. Sure, he could easily just fly to the next set of buildings and lose his pursuer completely, but where’s the fun in that? He instead stashes his grappling hook away and jumps down, ducking around the corner. Footsteps fast approaching, Joker leans against the wall, staring at his gloves as he attempts to look as disinterested as possible.

“Looking for me, detective?” he says, lips curling up into a smirk as Akechi rounds the corner. Glancing up, he can see the detective have to fight to keep a calm, collected expression, almost rolling his eyes before stopping himself.

“You know I am. I’ve been assigned to your case for the past month.”

A whole month? Well damn, Joker must be better at evading capture than he thought. Either that or Akechi is just a shit detective. To be honest, it could very well be a combination of the two. “And yet it took me slowing down for you to catch me.” He’s well aware that his shit-eating grin is visible even beneath the mask, which makes this infinitely funnier. “Now tell me, detective, are you here to turn me in?”

“I should be.” Joker pulls his grappling hook back out, fiddling with it while Akechi continues to speak. Honestly, it’s rather impressive he’s managed to maintain his composure for this long. Joker can’t help but respect the effort. “That depends, though. What did you do this time?”

A coin sits snug in the palm Joker’s free hand. Where it came from, he’ll never tell. When he flicks it up to his fingertips to hold between two fingers, Akechi’s slightly bewildered expression is almost enough to make him laugh. Almost.

“Oh, not much. Not much at all.”

Akechi pauses, and Joker can practically see the cogs in his brain turning at mach speed. This happens a lot. It’s become a game at this point; guessing Joker’s crime of the day. Or week. Depends on what mood he’s in. Today, though, it wasn’t anything super glamorous, just breaking into a few more ATMs. He did consider orchestrating a bank robbery, but ultimately decided that was too much effort. A good choice, he thinks.

Akechi presses a hand to his face, rubbing the bridge of his nose. He does it right between the eyes, too, which can’t possibly be very comfortable. “I really should turn you in right here and now.”

Joker pushes himself off the wall, meeting Akechi’s gaze. Out of the corner of his eye, he spots a fire escape protruding from the wall above them, leading up to a balcony. “Should you, now? C’mon.”

“It’s literally my job, Joker.”

Yeah, Joker’s going to take that as his cue to get a move on. He fires the grappling hook at the fire escape, watching as it makes perfect contact with the railing and loops itself around the bars. It’s the perfect escape route. He raises an eyebrow in Akechi’s direction: your move.

“I do have you right here, for once.”

Without breaking eye contact with his adversary, Joker moves a dial on his device with one hand. Very, very slowly, he starts rising up towards the fire escape.

“I could still grab you, idiot. Has anyone told you you’re an idiot recently? They should do it more.”

Joker can’t help but smile at that. “You could say that, yeah, I’ve been told that a bit.” He slides the dial just a small bit further, raising the grappling hook’s speed a tiny amount. He’s still firmly within Akechi’s reach, but the young detective makes no move to apprehend him.

“Is that going to hurt eventually?” Akechi casually lifts a hand, pointing at Joker’s grappling hook. His head tilts up slightly, and Joker realises he’s starting to struggle with maintaining consistent eye contact. “You holding up your whole weight with one arm and all.”

Oh damn, he has a point. “Yeah, probably,” Joker says. “It’s definitely distracting you this way, though.” He can tell Akechi is really tempted to call him an idiot again. He can’t blame him.

“You’re like a foot off the ground. I could grab your hand, let alone your ankle.”

Joker smirks. “But you’re not.”

“Mostly because I wanted to talk to you first,” Akechi says, sounding exasperated, “but you won’t even stay still long enough to have a proper conversation.”

Ah, Joker’s missed this. He’d forgotten how entertaining it is to wind Akechi up like this. “I will stay long enough to ask how you’re going to tell your superiors you lost me, though.” He fiddles with the dial again, increasing the speed of the grappling hook one last time, and watches as Akechi raises an eyebrow.

“As far as they’re aware, this never happened. You turned the corner on a busy street and you were gone.”

“Good.” Joker breaks eye contact with Akechi, pulling the trigger on the grappling hook. He shoots up to the balcony in an instant, backflipping before landing on his feet. He leans over the railing, crossing his arms as he peers down at the poor detective stuck on the ground below. Well, not exactly stuck — the fire escape is right there — but it’s not like he’s making a move either way.

“Hey, I’ll see you around later, detective. Another time, maybe.”

Without waiting for a response, Joker leans back from the edge, concealing himself amongst the shadows. He watches Akechi leave, chuckling quietly to himself.

His job here is done.

The TV is on when Akira returns to his apartment, playing some random show he doesn’t recognise. He makes himself a fresh cup of coffee before flopping down on the couch in front of the screen, removing his glasses and running a hand through his hair. Several minutes later, he hears the latch of the door click. Looking up, he smiles when he spots his boyfriend entering.

“Hey. How was your day?”

“I think you know perfectly well how my day was.” Akira fights back the strong urge to laugh. Akechi strides over to where Akira is sitting, planting a kiss on his cheek. Akira loudly complains about Akechi blocking the view, but doesn’t actually care all that much. It was a dumb show anyway. The smile doesn’t leave his face the entire time.

“Business as usual, then?”

“You could say that.” Akechi slides into the other room for a brief moment, and when he returns, he’s no longer holding his briefcase. Akira assumes he put it on the table with all his paperwork, because the guy clearly doesn’t know how to keep a workspace organised. When Akechi returns, he takes a seat next to Akira, leaning back against the pillows. “Nearly caught a thief. Some random guy, very annoying, quite an idiot.”

Akira chuckles. Akechi really does have some strange obsession with calling people idiots. Or maybe he just reserves that especially for the elusive thief. How kind of him. “Oh? Annoying and an idiot? Quite a combination coming from you.”

“Did I forget handsome? Would you be happier then?”

“Definitely.” Akira can feel another laugh tickling the back of his throat, so he reaches for his coffee cup and takes a long, slow sip, which thankfully keeps it at bay.

“You’re going to have to show me that grappling hook later, by the way. I want to know how it works. I assume Sakura helped you with it?”

“She did, yeah.” Akira sets his cup back down on the table, thinking back to when he had approached Futaba with the idea for the device. She was ecstatic, and she’d barely left her room while she worked on it. It came out so much better than Akira had initially thought it would. “It was mostly her this time, but it was my idea. Thought it would be funny.”

“More like exasperating,” Akechi mutters, and Akira finds he can’t hold his laughter in any longer. It drowns out the sound of the TV almost completely.

Akira couldn't ask for a better life - or a better boyfriend.

H is for Home

by Mind_Boi

The boy nodded, getting up and latching onto him in a tight hug despite the fact that they'd just met each other. It was the instincts. He knew that. He remembered when he turned. Phil had no choice in the matter. He'd been dying and didn't want to lose him. Not yet. That was the problem with being friends with vampires. They got attached way too easily. Even one as old as Phil. The dude was from before Pompeii got destroyed. Hell, he claimed that he'd been there before it got destroyed.

Wilbur gently picked the child up and rested him against his chest. The boys head rested in the crook of his neck, and he held onto him tight. He really shouldn't be in a position to be doing this. Most normal people wouldn't have been able to pick up a four and a half foot tall kid, but he wasn't human.

He'd gotten up there in vampire years, and it was honestly surprising to most that he'd never had a fledgling before. Most would find one by the time they hit 250, but Wilbur had been content with Phil.

Or: I got the urge to write vampires and so I did, now we have crimeboys vampires being soft. That's literally it.

Planes of Grief

by Mind_Boi

"It hurts though." Tommy admitted, sniffling, still trying to hold back tears. He was pretty sure this was the first time he'd mentioned how he was feeling in weeks.

"I know. Losing people always hurts." Phil murmured.

Then the dam in Tommy's eyes broke and silent tears slipped out. He clutched the dog tags in his hand tighter, they were pinching into his skin now, pulling them close to his chest. He tried to stop himself and keep the sobs from escaping but he was pretty sure Phil could see that he was having a mental breakdown. He squeezed his eyes shut, but Phil still acted.

In which Philza sees a ghost

by Mind_Boi

Someone else walked up to their target. Someone he thought was long dead. The brunette guy sat down with their target, talking to him with surprising ease. Techno peered over the edge of his paper and looked between him and their target. He saw wide eyes from Techno. They both knew who this was. He could barely believe what he was seeing.

Wilbur.

He almost missed the discreet point from Wilbur and then the turn of their target to look at him. Phil moved and slammed the window shut, drawing the blinds for good measure as he packed up his equipment. They definitely saw him. Wilbur told their target about him.
