A/N: Hey guys, so most of you caught a typo I did in my first fanfic. To be fair, I was in a bit of a rush to publish it so I didn't re-read. If you know how to rewrite a fanfic but without the need to delete it, tell me. Thanks. (Also, don't keep reminding me of the typo. I got it. Please. Don't. I love you guys, but I will cut your balls off if you keep reminding me. I WILL.)
Story of how I thought about this story: I was watching Dangan Ronpa and well, I needed to bathe afterwards. Then I found out my bathroom door was misaligned so I had to lift it and then push it. And before I stepped in I thought 'Could there be an 11037 and Maizono in the shower, waiting for me?' (I get freaked out after watching playthroughs sometimes) Thus, the story was born.
Disclaimer: Really? Me no own Persona.
Note: Use your IMAGINATION~!
"Oh look a forest that's scary." Souji scoffed. Yosuke had dared Souji to play Slender Man in the dark, under the bed sheets and without his precious girlfriend. Clearly, Souji's godlike courage had prevented him from getting frightened. Or so he thought.
"Pick up all the notes. Pssh, I seen scarier." A shiver ran down his back at the memory of Shadow Kanji. Souji controlled his character everywhere, not caring on where he went. He yawned and got bored as he took the third note. Souji moved the flashlight around and the screen started to get fuzzy, similarly to the Midnight Channel but this fuzzy screen scared Souji more.
Curious, he walked slowly forward and a white man in a tuxedo appeared out of nowhere from the darkness. He had no expression and face but his sheer presence terrified Souji. "HOLY IZANAGI CRAP BALLS!" Souji shrieked and swiftly shut his laptop off. After recovering from the jumpscare, Souji turned the computer back on and continued playing.
The silver-haired leader found a note that would clear all the color off his face. "Behind… you…" Souji hesitantly turned around and the light flashed on the white face fully in front of him. "HOLY SHIT! NEIN! NEIN!" Souji screamed and shut the laptop down, swearing to never open Slender again.
With tears and stained pants, Souji wrapped himself in the covers and rocked himself to sleep while staring at the laptop in disgust and horror.
"Big Bro, get out of your room! It's time for breakfast!" Nanako called from downstairs. Souji's eyes shot open and seeing the cursed computer, he cried.
"No! Slenderman's going to get me! He's watching me!" Souji whined and continued to rock himself. He crawled to the edge of his futon and slid his drawer door open, taking out his trusty golf club. "Baby steps, Seta. Baby steps…" Souji tiptoed his way out and gingerly used his right foot to turn the doorknob.
He slowly walked downstairs and seeing a shadow approach him, he swung the golf club as he jumped. "Aah!" Nanako cried, seeing her cousin in front of her with black rings under his eyes, messed up clothes and a golf club ready to break her skull.
"N-Nanako… I… um…" Souji stood back upright from his attack position and sheepishly scratched his head. Finding no words to explain the situation, he suggested the two eat their breakfast and forget what happened.
The paranoid teen held his golf club in one hand and with the other, he feed himself. The door bell rang and he sprung out of his seat and slowly walked towards the door. With his foot again, Souji slid the door open and pounced at the person in front. "DIE SLENDER MAN! YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!" He declared and whacked the slender person in front of him on the head.
"Ouch! Senpai!" Naoto nursed the bump Souji had caused, reaching for her thrown off cap. "I'm slender but I'm lacking the parts to be called a man." She got back up and kissed her dazed boyfriend's cheek. Naoto walked herself into the house, leaving Souji outside, holding his weapon and twitching his eye.
Souji could not stop. The horror of Slenderman was too great. Every night he would try and get all the eight notes but would always end up crying in pain and dirtying his pajama pants. Every day his paranoia grew worse and after a week, Souji refused to leave the Dojima Residence for more than a minute.
What didn't help him was Yosuke's 'guy's night' into the woods where they shall camp for a night.
"NO. NEVER!" Souji hissed like an angry cat as he ran up the stairs after Yosuke's preposition to go for a campout. Kanji and Yosuke followed their friend to find him locked in his room.
"Come on Souji! It's gonna be guy's night! Camping in the woods, collecting wood, telling ghost stories; it'll be fun!" Yosuke tried convincing his best friend but to no avail. "Kanji, mind punching the door open?"
Kanji nodded and punched through the door. "OH GOD! SLENDERMAN HAS MUSCLES! WHY!?" The two heard their leader cry and scream. Kanji felt around the door's surface, searching for the knob. He found it and with a twist, opened the door. "No! No! Please Kanji! Don't feed me to Slenderman!" Souji pleaded, hugging his golf club for dear life.
Yosuke dragged a crying Souji out and pushed him into the bathroom. Kanji found a sports bag and filled it with Souji's clothes and camping supplies. "So… Kanji, since you're… you know… Can you grab Souji outta the bathroom?" The headphones wearing teen asked, earning a mean glare from Kanji.
"Oi! You still think I'm gay!? Why don't you get your ass in there!?" The delinquent grabbed Yosuke by the collar and lifted him up to meet eyes. The two ended up blindfolding themselves and feeling for their paranoid leader. They had to dress him and decided to never speak of the event. EVER.
Souji was thrown to the back of Yosuke's car and was forced to camp out away from his sanctuary. They drove out into the forest, miles away from any exits. Most of the afternoon was used to set up camp and the tent. "Dude, mind helping with the tent?" Yosuke asked the silverette, who felt naked without his cell phone or weapons. He began shaking his head like how his legs were shaking in fear. "Hey, come on. Talk with words." Souji gave no reply but a grim face.
Night fell and the boys had set up their tent and sleeping bags. "Guys," Kanji called, grabbing the attention of the others, "should we go out to grab some firewood?" Yosuke agreed and dove into the tent. Souji, on the other hand, grew pale.
"Uhh… I-In the woods? A-All by o-o-ourselves?" Souji stuttered and began to lose balance. Yosuke stepped out of their fairly large tent with three flashlights.
"No shit, partner. Come on, you're the bravest guy I know!" The brunette handed Souji a grey flash light and walked to the southern side of the forest. "You take west and Kanji will take the northern side! Come back once you find like eight pieces of more!"
Kanji and Yosuke took off and Souji grudgingly walked from the home base.
He turned on the flashlight and waved it around. "Just a tree… Tree… Tree…" Souji mumbled, bending down and taking a branch. He heard a crack and immediately shot back up. He waved the flashlight around, searching for the source.
The scared silverette continued to search for wood and whenever he took a branch, he would hear a crack and someone swiftly running. Souji's flashlight began to blink after he found a fourth branch and he finally lost it. "Huh!? Hey, why aren't you working? Come on!" The sound returned and the flashlight finally died. "No! No!" He smacked the flashlight's side continuously.
Souji dropped the branches and flashlight, running back to the campsite after feeling a presence close by. The same feeling as the one he has when Slenderman's close. "I-I… I'm outta here!" Souji made a run for it and once he got to the tent, he dove into the tent and huddled his sleeping bag. "He's after me… He's waiting…" He began to rock himself once more and roll around in the tent.
Yosuke and Kanji had to sleep in the car due to Souji's constant screams into the night. "Do you think he'll get over Slenderman?" Kanji asked. Yosuke regretfully shook his head.
"No chance. He's scared to death."
