Boring Affection [Akira Kurusu x Reader]

Chapter 7

The (H/C) haired girl was about to doze off in the middle of class before she felt her phone vibrated.

Ryuji: Hey, we're meeting up at the hideout after school, right?

Ann: Don't text now. We're in class.

(Y/N): You're actually paying attention?

Ann: Yeah, but none of it is really sticking today...

Ryuji: I know, right?

Ryuji: Anyways, hideout after school?

Ann: Where exactly is this "hideout"?

(Y/N): The school roof.

Ann: Wait, we can still go up there?

Ryuji: Yeah, I'll let you in.

Ryuji: Welp, I'll be waiting. Just come on up once school's over.

(Y/N): Alright.

Akira: Gotcha

Ryuji: I'm gonna find you if you're late!

It was after school and everyone in the group were on the rooftop, sitting down on top of desk that were scattered around.

"Looks like we're all here. Mkay, let's get goin'!"

"Hold on, it's still too early for us to head to the Palace."

"But why? Don't we just gotta steal that Treasure thing?" Ryuji raised a eyebrow.

"Don't underestimate the dangers of that place. We need to prepare."

"Ain't that Persona shit we got enough to deal with it?"

"That's exactly what I mean when I say don't underestimate it. You'll die if you mess up in there. So again, we need to prepare before we head in."

"But... how exactly are we supposed to do that?" Ann asked.

"I'm glad you asked, Lady Ann. First, we'll need to find better equipment for all of you." Morgana explained.

"You talkin' about weapons? I know a kick-ass place!"

"In that case, you can handle that side of things. The only other thing would be stocking up on medicine. Fatigue in unavoidable in a Palace..."

"And where can we get medicine?"

"Don't worry, I know just the place, I hope you look forward to it, Lady Ann! Now then, Akira and I have some business in Yongen, so let's head off for today!"

"Uh, what business...?" Akira questioned Morgana. "Just come with me! I won't be able to get close enough by myself!"

Akira and Morgana quickly left the clinic. "Geez, they almost caught us. Sounded like they were talking about something dangerous... Could that woman be hiding some extra strong medicine...?"

"We should use that" Akira responded. "I agree. If it's that strong. It might come in handy at the Palace. All right, let's come back when that man isn't here. We shouldn't involve people who have nothing to do with this. Keep the Phantom Thieves a secret, OK?"

Akira nodded his head in agreement. "Anyway, great work! That went really well!" Akira felt his phone vibrate.

Ryuji: You know there's a shop in Shibuya that sells model guns.

Ryuji: I'd be glad to take you there if you want.

Akira: Sounds good.

(Y/N): I guess so.
