akira/p5 ken for the crossover ask meme! - cantfoolajoker
Okay, @cantfoolajoker, let’s give this a crack! I enjoy the idea of P5 Ken so much more than actual P3 Ken, since he pissed me off more often than not. >>;; I liked him better in P4U, so... Let’s get this head canon thing going!
First, I love me Akira from Inaba headcanon. So, Inaba in P4 Arena Ultimax can be where Ken meets Akira for the first time. Maybe he doesn’t leave right away with the others, since Koromaru has ideas of his own. Akira’s out for a walk and Koromaru ‘accidentally’ knocks him down. Ken admonishes Koromaru, who doesn’t mind because his boy needs some friends and so does this new kid, so.
Going on that AU, Akira and Ken keep up via messaging and emails with some visits. ...until Akira falls out of contact. Ken contacts Akira’s parents, gets nothing, so he ask Fuuka to look into it for him.
Unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on your POV), Ken gets asked by Mitsuru to infiltrate Shujin to find out more about the Phantom Thieves. He runs into Akira in the process. Awkward.
Of course, there’s a bit of tension between them because they’ve been awkwardly flirting the few months before Akira got put on probation, and most of the PT see this IMMEDIATELY. They’re all for their leader getting laid, once Ken gets their trust. A whole team of wingmen/match makers.
Speaking of getting laid... Bare with me. So, in all universes I can manage it, Shinji is alive, so him and Aki are in Tokyo as Ken’s guardians and back up if need be. ...so Ken ends up deciding Akira should come back to his place, because no, he has standards, Akira. He’s not losing his virginity in an attic above a cafe when he has his own room in a very nice apartment (thanks, Mitsuru!). ...too bad it gets bit awkward since he calls Akira ‘Aki’ when they’re alone, and in bed isn’t any different. ...and who comes home before they’re supposed to? Now, Shinjiro and Akihiko don’t interrupt them, but there’s some light teasing at dinner. ...though, Shinji doesn’t call Aki by his nickname for quite a while. ...good thing moron and dumbass are terms of endearment for them now~
