An alternate turn in canon universe sounds interesting...how about they find out they're each other's soulmates a little while before Yusuke joins the Phantom Thieves? That would give Akira the opportunity to joke how Yusuke wanted them to spend time together so bad that he developed a persona Akira you're the worst

OK, I'm off to write us a starter for Futaba and Yusuke thread first, my Futaba journal is lifehacking by the way! Also we can do that finger trap thread sometime later, too. And if there's anything you'd like to thread later feel free to hit me up with ideas c:
