(I dream of an update to the VOCALOID6 engine, my release as a duo with miki as intended, an existence where I am not known in tandem with discontinuations and falling into obscurity. I dream of a life where I do not have to dream of these things.)

It's when he kisses Ryuji outside of their new apartment together that Akira spots Akechi—once a lifetime ago, Goro—emerging out of a dimly lit alleyway as if he were a specter…

pairing: shuake
a/n: giveaway prize to @/sparklefly2 for @ficwip's birthday last year + posted for shuake week 2023's day 7 prompt "regret!"
summary: The rain has never been your friend. Despite how much you wanted him to be, you suppose Akechi Goro has never been either.
text preview:
“Ah. It’s drizzling.”
Akechi tips his head back. The blue of the sky, bright and clear, is reflected in his eyes. Yet a defiant droplet falls from above, rolling along the bridge of his nose and past his parted lips.

summary: A story where it never felt like you had a choice.
text preview:
Nobody mentions their life before this one. It leaves you puzzled. What were they like before all of this? Did you all lead similar lives up to this point? Have the same childhood? Were you raised in the same town by the same parents? Lived down the same street near the lady who’d sometimes gift you topsicles? Got the same scar on your left knee when you fell off your bike—you know, that red one your dad got you for your tenth birthday—and rolled down the hill with your eyes clenched and your heart hammering against your ribcage?

summary: In the midst of getting ready to attend Shido's charity party, Goro stumbles on a piece of his past.
text preview:
The suit coat feels heavy on Goro’s shoulders. He readjusts the jacket as if it’d help with the weight, maroon eyes trained on his mirrored reflection. The teen, for all extensive purposes, likes what he sees. The outfit is simple, elegant. He traces the golden lining embroidered in his suit with an appreciative gaze, following its path from the lapels to the opening of the jacket. If clothes make the man, then this attire will certainly create the Goro Akechi the masses will adore, crave for, and forget about when the time inevitably comes.

summary: A sonnet about the foolishness of human beings.
text preview:
Predictable – that is, humanity
Who drowns in deluded, decadent dreams,
Who hopes to alter dull reality,
A fruitful future woven by the seams.
