Just the Two of Us

By Shunto

Inaba, Amagi Inn

Pi pi pi!

A little annoying sound came from a phone in one of the many rooms at Inaba's famous inn. A murmur echoed through the room as a hand fumbled around for the phone.

Clearly, the hand was female. It was very obvious.

As soon as the hand grasped her phone, the figure in the shadows flicked on the lights and yawned before wiping her eyes with her sleeve.

She was a beautiful young woman with black hair, decently sized breasts, and a well-maintained figure. Her face was clear of any complexion, and her eyes were a sparkling blue.

Her name was Marie, or to the public eye, Mariko Kusumi, Inaba's public weather forecaster. She was popular because of her looks but also because of how accurate her predictions were.

A rumor even went around saying that she decides the weather.

She looked at her phone and groaned. "Dammit… Who could be calling at this hour?"

Marie grabbed her phone, pushed the TALK button and raised it to her ear after brushing some of her hair out of the way.

"Hello… Mariko speaking."

A very familiar voice on the other end chuckled. "Nice to see you too, Marie."

Her face turned red and a smile formed across her lips. "Yu! I missed you so much! How are you doing?"

The caller, Yu Narukami, chuckled a little louder. "Great, great… hey, I wanna ask you something."

The former Velvet Room attendant giggled as she put on her glasses. "And what would that be, Mr. Narukami?"

Yu laughed. "Wow, getting all formal with me? Anyway, do you like cruises?"

Marie raised one of her eyebrows. "Um, yeah, I guess… why?"

Her boyfriend sighed. "Well, it just so happens that I got this huge amount of money from my parents… I dunno why, but I booked a cruise for just the two of us."

Marie's face flushed a crimson red. "J-just the two of us…?"

Yu chuckled. "Yeah, it leaves in two days at noon and I wanted to ask if-"

"Yes," Marie said quickly.

The boy on the other end paused before continuing. "Yes… what?"

Marie sighed. "Yes, I will go with you on the cruise. I mean… I haven't seen you for a long time… and I wanna be with you… I've missed you."

Yu chuckled. "Yeah, I missed you too. Alright, so we'll meet up at the Yasoinaba station in two days in the morning. A cab will be there to drive us to the port."

The young girl frowned. "Don't you mean train?"

"Actually, a cab will be at the parking lot. I reserved it."

Marie giggled and closed her eyes. "Alright, I'll see you there… I love you."

"Love you too." The line went dead and Marie looked like she was about to burst with excitement. "A cruise with Yu… just the two of us! Oh, what should I wear…? Gotta look good for my boyfriend…"

She dumped any effort of going back to sleep and went about deciding what to wear for their trip together.

Two Days Later- Yasoinaba Station

The silverette opened his phone and smiled at the photo that he took with all of his friends on that day in March. He was standing in the middle giving a nice smile while to his left stood Yosuke Hanamura, his best friend and partner in the serial murder case. Yukiko Amagi and Chie Satonaka stood to his far right while Teddie was leaning in with a goofy expression on his face. Kanji Tatsumi was towering above him to his right while Rise Kujikawa stood firmly at his side and Naoto Shirogane stood at the far left.

It was a great day. He was leaving Inaba for a while and as a celebration for defeating Izanami, he and his friends took a photo to celebrate their victory.

"Ahem."

Yu lowered his phone and smiled as his girlfriend Marie stood in front of him with a big smile.

He nodded. "Hey."

Marie beamed back at him. "Hey… um, where's the cab?"

Yu motioned over to his right and watched as Marie stood there, jaw agape at the luxurious limousine that stood in front of them.

Marie chuckled and playfully smacked her boyfriend on the back of his head. "You idiot, you said you got a cab!"

Yu chuckled and tucked his phone in his pocket. "Well, maybe I made a little understatement."

Marie rolled her eyes and the two of them entered the car and drove away to the port where their cruise awaited them.

About 30 minutes went by and Marie turned red and slowly scooted towards Yu in an attempt to snuggle up. Yu smiled.

"You know, I don't mind what you do. Scoot up as close as you want."

Marie's face flushed and she moved up to her beloved's side and rested her head on his shoulder.

A good hour passed and the limo stopped at a port in front of what appeared to be the biggest ship ever.

Marie blushed as a sly smile formed across her lips. "You really like understatements don't you?"

Yu rubbed his head. "Yeah, some people hate me for that."

The couple laughed and boarded the ship. Yu went to the front desk and took a room key from the manager. Marie smiled before a bright red blush crossed her face. "A-are we sharing a room…?"

Yu looked to the side. "Maybe."

Marie laughed. "Wow… you're such a jerk sometimes, and I love you for it."

Yu nodded. "Let's go put our stuff in the room and go see what the ship has to offer.

And that they did. For the next few hours, the couple did all the ship had to offer. They went swimming in the pool, played ping-pong in the game lounge, watched a movie in their room, had a romantic dinner at the evening and finally went to the front of the ship to see the sunset.

Marie was slightly red but thrilled that her boyfriend had done all of this for her.

She remembered when she believed that the only way to achieve peace was for her to die… Yu and his friends helped her. She remembered begging him to get back up, one more time, just to defeat Izanami-no-Okami.

And through all that time… she had loved him.

"Marie?"

The black haired girl was snapped from her trance and turned to face her beloved.

"What's up?"

Yu leaned forward and smiled. "Memories are precious things, aren't they?"

Marie nodded. "Yeah, they are… I loved how you helped me make so many… like when you confessed you love for me."

"Well… do you want to make more memories? Memories of just us together."

Marie's face flushed. "U-uh… what do ya mean…?"

Yu brought the girl close to him in an affectionate embrace. Marie's face went even redder before returning the hug.

"Marie… Narukami… do you think we could ever make that happen, Yu?"

Yu nodded. "I promise you, Marie. I want to get married to you one day… I love you so much, Marie."

A tear ran down the girls cheek. "I love you so much as well… Yu."

END OF CHAPTER 1

Before you ask, this is NOT a long story. Expect 3, 5 chapters at the most.

So how'd you all think? I've noticed a lack of Yu/Souji x Marie fics on the site so I sat down and made one myself.

I just finished P4 Golden today, and damn, it was EXCELLENT.
