Whumptober Day 18: Revenge
Whumptober Day 18: Revenge
What goes around comes around
Kenshin takes another drink from his beer as the bar blurs around him. His favorite bartender isn’t even in town this week, so he doesn’t get to have his favorite cocktail or talk with someone.
Without her here, he just sinks into the background of the bar as people chatter, expecting to drink until closing and be ignored, as usual.
“You can look right through me, walk right by me, and never know I’m there,” Kenshin sings to himself against the latest idol music the drunk college girls wanted to sing to is.
“Hey, here by yourself?”
Kenshin turns to see a woman with orange hair and a smart suit sits down next to him at the bar.
“You talking to me?” Kenshin asks.
“Is anyone else here worth talking to?”
Kenshin snorts. “No, obviously.” He sticks out his hand. “Kenshin Suzuki.”
The woman takes his hand. “Yoka Tono.”
“So, Yoka-chan, what brings you here for the first time?” Kenshin asks.
“How do you know it’s my first time? Maybe I just come on the days you’re not here.”
“I’m here every day,” Kenshin says. “From work gets out ‘til my sister’s kid gets home from cram school. My sister doesn’t want him seeing me coming home in the middle of the night.”
“Haven’t missed a single day?”
“Nope, not in three years, so I know you’re not a regular.”
Yoka chuckles. “Ok, you caught me. Yeah, I just heard about this place and wanted to get the vibe.”
“The vibe is it’s cheap and they don’t kick you out no matter how much you drink.”
“Sounds like my kind of place,” Yoka says. She orders a beer and chugs it.
“Whoa, now I like a woman who can handle her alcohol.”
“Really? Most men are put off by it.”
“I mean it!” Kenshin says. “I don’t care for all the prissy shit women like my sister are worried about.”
“Tell me about your sister?”
“Ah, she’s a pain in the ass,” Kenshin sighs. “I busted my ass to pay her way through college, and now that she’s a successful corporate bigwig she thinks she can tell me how to live my life. Ungrateful bitch.”
“No wonder you’re here all the time then.” Yoka takes another swig of her beer. “Whoo, strong stuff! I should call a taxi for tonight, don’t wanna be driving after a glass of this.”
Kenshin laughs. “Eh, don’t worry about it. I can take you home.”
“Oh, that gonna be your last glass?”
“Like hell. Nah, when you’ve been drinking as long as I have, as long as you’re awake you’re as good as a sober man. I drive home all the time, no one’s ever noticed.”
“Never? Really?”
“‘Cause I’m not stupid. I know how to drive, even when I’m drunk.”
“Still, seems risky,” Yoka says. “Car accidents cause a ton of deaths and–”
“Oh my god stop it, you sound like my sister,” Kenshin says. “I know the damn statistics, and they happen when people are sober and when they’re drunk. The difference is I’m smart, and know to be careful.”
“Oh,” Yoka says slowly. “So if you were driving home late at night, trying to get back to your apartment before your sister’s kid came back from cram school, and saw a couple of kids crossing the street, you’d slow down right?”
“Brats oughta get out of the way,” Kenshin says. “Pedestrians have the right of way, it’s a load of crap. What are they gonna do if I hit them?”
“But you’ve never been in a situation like that?”
“No,” Kenshin says. “Never.”
“Even last week?” Yoka asks. “Last week you weren’t driving home in a white car with your license plate, jumped the curb, hit a young man, and then drove away?”
“Lady, the fuck are you talking about? You a cop or some shit?”
“No,” Yoka says. “But I am an attorney, and the mother of the boy who was with the one you hit last week. The one who now needs extensive surgery because of you. And I look forward to seeing you in court.”

Your mystery question is here! :)
Moon: Does your character have a dark side? What makes their dark side come out?
Hello there! I’m going to do this for… *quickly DMs Alto*
Schuyler Tate Sr, my OC for Sky’s dad!
I think he definitely has a dark side. He’s very cheery and friendly, but that’s an active choice. He pretty much actively represses all negative emotions and prides himself on his self-control. His own father was abusive to him and his mother, so he’d never lay hands on anyone unless it was a last resort. It’s what makes him a good Power Ranger, since he’d never escalate a situation.
There’s one berserk button though. His son. The thought of anything happening to Sky makes him snap like a glowstick, despite his pride in his self-control. He wouldn’t snap at his father for what he did to him, but if he ever came near Sky, he’d black out.
(And he did, in my fic, Control)
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Persona 5 Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death Relationships: Kurusu Akira/Sakamoto Ryuji, Persona 5 Protagonist/Sakamoto Ryuji, Amamiya Ren/Sakamoto Ryuji Characters: Persona 5 Protagonist, Sakamoto Ryuji, Akechi Goro, Phantom Thieves of Hearts, (bc the others are there but not for long) Additional Tags: Persona 5: The Royal Spoilers, Third Semester (Persona 5), Angst, Whump, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Mild Gore, I Wrote This Instead of Sleeping, I'm Sorry, no beta we die like merciless players, Minimally Verbal Persona 5 Protagonist, unless his friends do be acting up, anyway never get me on a rant about the post-shido-palace cutscene, because this is the kinda shit that can happen if you do Summary:
It wasn't like Akira hadn’t been planning to confront Maruki anyway, but... the knowledge that Akechi's life was dependent on his decision heavily complicated things. He knew he didn't have it in him to go against Akechi's wishes, though; the ex-detective had made it crystal clear that he would rather die free than live under the influence of another higher power. Akira had grappled with the dilemma for a while, tossing and turning atop his cot as the darkness of Leblanc's attic held little comfort, but eventually - as much as it had hurt him to think about - he'd resolved that he was prepared to have to let Akechi go, for his sake and for the rest of the world.
Akira had been finally ready to stop his racing thoughts in their tracks and sleep, despite the hour surely being ungodly by then. Unfortunately, his mind had other plans, having been given the space to wander and provide him with a thought that was perhaps even worse.
What if Akechi's life wasn't the only one hanging in the balance?
Guys. Guys this isn’t my fic but it’s my dear friend @exist-without-saving‘s and it’s so good PLEASE read it please

Ryuji sprints home, and practically breaks the door off his hinges slamming it open.
“Ma!”
“Ryuji!” Kaida Sakamoto comes out of the living room, and Ryuji can see the news announcement still blaring on the TV behind her.
“Mom, I can explain-” Ryuji’s cut off by the sound of sirens.
“Shit. Ryuji, the closet!”
