This wasn’t how things were supposed to go! Ryuji growled at Shadow Kamoshida, trying to break free of the hold the suits of armor Shadows had on him. The speedo clad Shadow was supposed to threaten to kill him, not Akira!
His best friend of countless time loops was doubled over in pain from when the bastard coach punched him. With a smug smirk Kamoshida sent his way, he ordered his guards to kill Akira.
Ryuji yelled out for him to stop when he felt a familiar pain wrack through his head. It was Captain Kidd, eager to burst free. “All the times before you made me wait quite a while. But if you wait any longer, it’ll be the end of your cherished friend.”
Ryuji ducked his head down, hiding a sharp smile. He mentally answered back, “Then I need your power. Let’s form a pact and wreck havok!”
He heard the captain laugh at the echo of their usual contract. “ Excellent! I am thou, thou art I! These are new waters we’ll be treading but hoist your flag proudly! The skull of rebellion is your flag henceforth!”
Ryuji felt the weight of a mask settle on his face. The guards were closing in on Akira, who was fearfully looking at the very real, very sharp swords they held. “That’s enough, you bastard!” Ryuji yelled.

“Hmm? Oh-- Huh!?” He looked down expecting his usual phantom thief outfit but it was much different than what he expected. He had a long, black pirate coat that kinda felt like a mix of Kidd’s coat and Akira’s phantom thief tailcoat. On the back seemed like wave patterns but was actually a long sea dragon weaving to and fro. Thankfully, some things were the same, like his yellow gloves and red ascot.Ryuji sweated when he noticed his mask felt different. He took it off and flipped it over in his hands to take a better look at it. It wasn’t his classic skull mask but it seemed like a dragon’s skull instead, at least the theming was kinda the same.
Akira opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a scream. “What- what was that? Is someone else here? Let’s help them.” He said, rushing in the direction of the scream but stopped and looked pleadingly at Ryuji.
Akira... bless his bleeding heart. Ryuji was sure it was a cognition of one of the volleyball team being horrendously tortured in Kamoshida’s palace (he didn’t like to hear them suffering but the torture will stop when they steal the treasure) but… he could never say no to Akira. “Yeah! Let’s go!”

He closed his eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep. His dreams filled with a velvet blue.Notes:
uwu I just love long pirate coats, they just look so cool. And since Ryuji is pirate themed, I think he'd look cool in one.

“Aww, don’t worry about it!” Ryuji grinned and Akira really didn’t have to since the lessons were pretty much muscle memory to him at this point. Also he didn’t feel like thinking about homework or textbooks right now.“Let me at least repay you somehow. You’ve been nothing but nice to me since I got here.” Ryuji struggled against Akira’s pleading puppy eyes but stood firm and waved him off.
“Seriously, don’t worry about it. Let’s just hang out on the rooftop at lunch, ok?”
“Wait, won’t you need this for classwork or homework?”
“Uh…”
In a sudden burst of sly confidence, Akira smirked and gripped his shoulder. “Let’s study together, we could get both our work done.” Gah, he caught on to him wanting to slack off.
“...Fine.” He half heartedly whined but straightened up when he remembered what he wanted to do today. “Oh yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that place, we’ll talk more on the roof.” To which Akira nodded.

Ryuji was looking him over, specifically his new clothes. He had a vivid red tail coat, the two ‘tails’ were cut to look almost like bat wings and were accented with gold. He had a gray vest underneath and black pants leading to some high heeled boots.Akira smirked at him. “You jelly?”
He chuckled when Ryuji sputtered a weak denial. Ryuji’s mask was unable to completely hide his blush.
-
“Uh, thanks.” Ryuji blushed, still not used to this Captain business.Ryuji rubbed the back of head in embarrassment as he thought of his personas. Best not to tell Akira how he panicked as Igor and the wardens took Captain Kidd and Pixie to teach him about their execution style fusions. He could vaguely feel Captain Kidd and even though the pirate reassured him that even if he’s gone, he’ll still be a part of him, Ryuji went ahead and got him back from Justine.
Man, fusing personas for good skills on ‘em was so effin complicated. He had no idea what he was doing, honestly he got lucky the moves he chose to pass on to the new persona were useful.
