Not sure how I came up with this... I wouldn't fault anyone for not reading it *grin*

The Dusty Old Headphones

"Yukari-san, where are you going?"

The brunette looked at Aigis, the blonde robot, who was looking at her with a sad look in her sky blue eyes as she sat in the lounge with Junpei, who was silently standing beside her as he stared at the wall across of him. She felt like doing the same...

"Just going up to check something..." the Lovers Persona user told her. At Aigis' silent nod, she ventured up to the third floor and to the last door in the girl's hallway. Biting her lower lip, she reached out for the door handle, feeling a sense of dread as she did. As she closed her eyes, Yukari opened it slowly and entered, closing the door behind her. Despite the months passing, the room remained the same, in the same state she left it in on January 31st... she breathed in the stale scent of the books picking up dust on the desk, along with a lone pen that would never be used again.

"I'm back..." Yukari spoke to the empty room, walking over to the bed as she picked up the old, red headphones and putting them around her neck, trying to see if the MP3 still worked. "... don't worry, I will take good care of it..."

She bit back a sob as she stared at the choker she had given to her all those months ago... or was it nearly a year ago?

"We have school today... let's go?"

With a smile that said 'I will be alright', Yukari Takeba left the 'presence' of what used to be her best friend and maybe something more...


Thank you for reading :)
