He's been standing at the bar for nearly six minutes, ignored. Goro's used to it. Nearly four years like this, and he can't make himself want to be needed again.
"Can I get a drink?" he asks, loudly.
A bartender startles, like he's only now seeing him. "I'm so sorry sir, your first drink's on us."
Goro nods. "I'll take your recommendation."
"Of course"
Back on the floor, waiters serve with familiar, glowing smiles. They would sooner collapse than let them drop a watt. He forgot how much he despises this shit, as he spots two arguing staff.
One clinging to the other's elbow, and— The realization hits him like a gunshot.
Black hair, storm-cloud eyes, and a slash-mark smirk he last saw three years, nine months and fifteen days ago.
[Minkidoodles' art: Goro Akechi, years older, holding his drink as he looks across the crowded room to see an older Akira Kurusu, dressed as a waiter, with his arm hooked around another waiter's shoulder and smiling.]
A hot hole in his chest, the cold bulkhead door at his back. It burns like yesterday. The longer he stares, the stronger the feeling, the louder the repeating word in his head.
Like a kick-drum, repeating over and over: fuck.
It's Joker.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ojrpnyf372obt5wv2tkdfnyg/bafkreidj6n3mau7qigjvusi75anxngp27vfaazro3rxbfoqdkqtpicmlrq)
