Headcanon: Since Akechi hadn't felt that kind of affection, he probably substitutes it with primal needs whenever he feels lonely. He thirsts for affection but replaces it with lust, he probably doesn't mind if anyone do him as long as they can fill that empty void.


"Why do birds suddenly appear everytime you are near just like me, they long to be close to you..."

Just like me, they long to be close to you..."


It was dead of the night when someone knocks on the Cafe LeBlanc's door. A certain protagonist wakes up and cautiously check who is it. The young phantom thief stares at the person before him, it was the famous prince detective. Akechi Goro. The brunette is a mess—almost debauched, his hair was disheveled, he's missing the trench coat which leaves him in his white dress shirt that is soaked with sweat. Akira give him a confused look and asks him, "What the happened to you?" The older teen sheepishly smiles while scratching his head. "...Work ravished my entire being... Can I crash in your attic, just for the night...?" he asks, his voice lacks the usual confident tone the other would always have. The black haired boy heaves a sigh. "I don't have any futon," he said letting the other in. "We have to share the bed."

Goro nods wordlessly, entering the cafe. He's not himself today, the void in his heart begins to eat him alive for the nth time again. At first, it was bearable, he would just go and sleep with any people, succumbing to lust would usually do the trick but slowly, that trick no longer works. The loneliness lifts up when he was with the Phantom thieves, especially with this certain individual.

If you are wondering if he was going to sleep with someone before deciding on going here, the answer is yes. Self-loath suddenly bubbles up in his stomach so he's here, almost 'getting wreck'. Disgusting, right? It's laughable and pathetic if the media or any journalist found this out, his reputation will be crushed into bits. Ahaha... The headlines will be funny. He's a disgrace bastard after all.


Akira climbs to the bed and scoots to the left side, the brunette hesitantly places himself beside the other... It's kinda awkward, so he just lay straight there. Like a stiff plank of wood. The other seems to be fast asleep with Morgana on the small spot near his head. Soundly and innocently asleep. Close together. The detective would be lying if he said he didn't want to be close to the black haired phantom as much as everyone does. He wants to be closer to him than anyone else, maybe this is the exact measurements of how close they'll be.

Goro sighs, he's exhausted and drained. The other will mind but, he can make an excuse later. The older turn his body to the sleeping latter and wraps an arm around the young phantom's waist while burying his face on his back, subsequently clinging on the younger. Falling fast asleep. Into a dreamless dream.

Close to him...
