Akame hypothesis - Jin and Kame lived together during their youth

Ok guys, so this is something that you might not agree with, but I deeply feel it can be one of the most accurate ''akame hypothesis'' I've come to think about. I discovered those things not so long ago, so we can say it has never been talked about on the Akame fandome so far. (it was only brought up by me on #AKAME20THFEST but I'm re-uploading this on my website lol)

A few years ago I asked my best friend who studied in Japan to translate that title for me, as it was an Akame headline in a newspaper that I've found while writing ''Akame scandalu'' in japanese on my search bar. I came across an article saying Akame were seen entering and going out of the same building several times, and the newspaper assumed Akame were living together since it was always in mornings and after-work hours. It is dated from 2007 after Jin's come-back from L.A, and that's why the title says :

''From DISTANT LOVE to CONCUBINAGE''.

My friend laughted so much about it since the kanji used for 'distant love' is somehow some kanji used in a romantic and very-well know poem/story (?) around japan (aparently it was about a forbidden love between 2 lovers and such). The thing is that yeah, ok, it wasn't the first time Akame were seen together near the same building or disguised as fuck to aparently meet (pics below) since they were going out at the same hours & the same night.

But even if I believed it might be true (that they lived together) I wasn't sure about it, but soon I encountered more evidences.

First of all let's set this straight, I'm not talking about them living together in a romantic way. It's more like since they were having the same job, were always glued to each other and their friendship was bounded for years, I think they must have talked about how great it would be to have their own appartment (the fly-away from family kinda shit you talk about when you're a teenager) and I can only imagine them having conversations about how awesome it would be to have an appartement together in the center-town just to be cooler to their friend's eyes.

The thing is when I was 13, I started having the exact same dream with my best friend and we kept saying that when we'll be eighteen, we'll have an appartement of our own and will live in a collocation together. Truth be told, we made it. The moment I had my final exams I was on the train to her city and we started looking for an appartement together.

So it can only be natural, for Jin and Kame who were friends, co-workers, had the same schedules most of the time and lived already near each other (in their hometown) to want to live near the young center-town and their work area right ? Jin was even driving Kame back at his place quite often (since Kame didn't have his driving licence yet), so it could only be conveniant for them both to live together.

Now what made me think that this was more than posible, is this interview in wich Kame talks about his teenage dream of having an appartement in Shibuya. He says he really wanted to live there, but the rent was way above his income/salary.

But then what does he say ? That he had it. He was 19, hadn't even reached majority yet, but he lived in this Shibuya appartment when he didn't have enough money to pay the whole rent. So how about a collocation with his best friend Jinny who was already 21 to split the rent in 2, huh ?

And guys, that would explain the ''Akame couple clothes/stuff'' so much. All the Akame evidences with the couple stuff are known everywhere, but I never thought of it as a ''couple'' thing or anything since Akame would've never been that obvious ; but I always thought they borrowed each other's clothes since they had the same taste in fashion and all, but still, I found it strange that they borrowed SO MANY like they were sleeping at each other's place every single night. Yeah well that's sure that if they were living together, it was way more simple ne~ ? Me and my best friend did that all the time, so I thought it was quite the same thing for them too. Also, Kame did say that during his 19 y/o he nearly didn't see his family for a year, so, it could be that he was just not living with them anymore and that Edogawa was too far.

Same clothes during that period:

Ho and as for the ''love'' that might have come after, I'll just keep my hypothesis to myself since I already told so many in my fics, fanvids and all, it's up to you to think there has been something going on between them or not, but for me, this whole ''Akame living together'' story is waaay more than possible~! ;)

See you soon for more Akame hypothesis~ ! Let me know what you think ! ^^
