Hello! This is my first fanfiction posted on a website, so I'm a little bit nervous. I really hope you guys enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I do not own atlus or any of its characters. But of course, you knew that already.


I remember now. Every battle. All of my worries and that strong will of hers to fight.

I remember.

When we started hanging out. Every smile, every laugh, every eye contact. Sure, we looked awkward together, but was that so bad?

I remember.

My confession on the rooftop. The way she said yes, the way we embraced. My heart felt like it was going to stop. I was so happy I could cry.

I remember.

That day in my room. I made her call me Aki for the first time. I was embarrassed, but I think that she was too. The sweet nothings we whispered well into the night, and her silencing me with those sweet kisses.

I remember.

The first time we made love. The feeling of her supple, pale skin in my hands. Her scent, oh god her scent. I can still smell it; a mix of vanilla and caramel. I can almost hear her again, hear these delightful moans that came out of her mouth before reaching her peak. I can still feel myself inside her, restraining myself from my own release.

I remember.

That last day at our school. The way she, alone, faced death herself with so much bravery. Even if I was worried, I felt proud of her.

I had forgotten

But now I remember

And she's gone.

I can still see her head on my lap, tears welling in her eyes. ''We did it, didn't we?'' was the only question she asked. I cried, too. ''Yeah.. I'm sorry I forgot about you. From now on, we'll never be apart.''

That simple promise was broken. I couldn't be there for her, and she couldn't be there for me. I swore on my life that I would protect you, and I fucking didn't.

Now, I am alone. Without her.

''Minako... Why was it you, out of all people?''

I cried myself to sleep that night, the sweet bitterness of her name still lingering on my lips.

''I'll never forget you... Minako...''


Heh, I know, sorry it's so short! Don't be shy to post reviews, I love them!
