I love Persona 5 now and I'm in love with the persona series as a whole. After reading a million fan fictions I've decided I'll make a few fan fictions based on Persona 5. If they're gonna be stories or one-shots who knows. But this fan fiction is inspired by the fan fiction called Beneath the Mask (I believe so anyways) It's a story about a situation on if Akira (Protagonist) had a palace. Now everyone complains about him not having a good character but I think he's a pretty good character compared to other games i've played... Anyways let's get this started! (I'm not even sure when this takes place, use your imagination but i think it should be somewhere after he comes back and is "dead" it's easier to write that way)
Akira loved being ignorant sometimes.
Looking on and watching his teammates fight shadows made him proud to see that he made a change in people lives.
Not just the one they changed the hearts of but he changed the lives of people who didn't even need a change of heart.
'I hope everything is going to be okay when this is all over' he thought as they exited Mementos.
"I'm beat but today was a good day!" Ryuji exclaimed as he stretched
"Yup! But I gotta admit I'm a bit tired from all these visits" Ann complained
"Sorry about that guys I should've considered how you guys felt" Akira replied
"Its fine I'm sure we can all catch up with our school work once we get home. I'll help them too" Makoto spoke up from next to Haru
"Does that mean-!"
"I am not doing it for you or giving you answers Ryuji. I said I'd help you which it different"
"That sucks"
"Leave it to Ryuji to be completely dense when it comes to work" Futaba said
Everyone around you laughed as they argued with each other.
'It'll be sad when I have to leave. Back to there... Tomorrow is that day too...' He thought as he shivered which didn't go unnoticed by Haru
"Are you okay? You shivered, are you getting sick?" Haru asked concerned as everyone else looked at you as you turned to answer the question.
"It's okay I'm absolutely fine. Maybe a little tired but it's nice to be getting out." he said
" I had almost forgot that you really can't leave yet. You've been on the news so everyone would certainly recognize you" Yusuke said.
"And since he's home I can't go anywhere either!" Morgana complained
"Sorry Morgana. But you know you don't have to stay with me? You could go with Ann or something"
" I don't mind too much staying home. At least I'm not alone" Morgana replied walking near you.
You nodded as a sudden flash of dizziness washed upon you and everything went black around you for a few seconds while you blinked you eyes
"Akira!" Ryuji exclaimed as he noticed you
He felt two hands steady you as you moved you feet so you could stand properly.
"Thanks Yusuke" Akira thanked as Yusuke let go of him once he felt steady
"It fine but you should take care of yourself after all your leader"
Akira turned to Ann and Makoto scolding Ryuji for being loud.
Futaba and Haru just looked at you with worry and Morgana looked at you with a knowing look
'Has Morgana found something out?' Akira thought as he started walking.
"I gotta... go guys... Before anything happens. I'll text if anything comes up. Have a break" Akira says as he walked him stumbling slightly.
When he was out of sight the rest of the phantom thieves turned to each other.
"I hope everything goes well for us and the rest of the world." Makoto said
"Lately he's been acting pretty odd. He wakes up startled in the morning and does nothing all day" Morgana spoke up
"He must get really bored in the room" Haru spoke looking off to where their leader once was
"I've watched and listened in on his room one time when I got bored and I almost thought that he left but..." Futaba started
"You watched him when you got bored!?" Ryuji exclaimed
"Shut up!" Ann exclaims making the blond.
"Stalking aside I must admit he's been a bit weird" Yusuke said
"While we were all talking I noticed he seemed a little depressed" Morgana said
"Who knows maybe he's thinking about something. Do you know anything Ruyji?" Ann asked
"He may be my best friend but he's kinda quiet about his home life and all. I don't wanna push him to tell me, it'd probably make it worse" He replied making everyone else sigh
"Well somethings on his mind but unless he wants to share I don't think we should pry" Makoto said
"But the more he dwells on it the worse he could end up..." Futaba said looking down remembering what it was like for her.
"What do you-" Ruyji started before stopping himself
"How about we talk to him or meet up somewhere to discuss this another time I'm quite exhausted" Yusuke said as he blinked a few times to prove his point.
"Alright we gotta go. I'll see you guys tomorrow" Makoto said as they all headed home.
"Hey Akria!" Futaba exclaimed as she walked in with Morgana
"mmm..mmm" Akria replied as he was leaning against a wall.
"Akira?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you sleeping on the wall?"
"I don't know. Are you my mom?"
"No so you should so get to bed!" Futaba exclaimed as she sighed putting Morgana down to grab her brother-figures shoulder
"okay. Don't hit me or drag me I'll be going" Akira said a little playful as he leaned off the wall as the other two people in the room watched him plop on the bed.
"Akira!" They both exclaimed
*sigh*
Morgana jumped onto the bed and curled around Akira's side
Futaba went to take Akira's glasses off and put them off to the side.
"jeez night"
"Oh Futaba you ready to go now?" Sojiro asked as he was near the door
"Yup! that sleepy head was on a wall but he finally got to his bed alright"
"Alright then let's go" He said as they walked out into the night.
"By the way Sojiro how did Akira end up here?" Futaba asked
"I never told you? Well it's really simple, his parents are friends with me so they asked if i could watch him. Though they sounded a bit too angry but I guess that just might be expected" He replied
"They were mad? Did he not explain to them his point of view on the issue?"
"I'm not sure. Why do you ask though?"
"We think something's wrong with Akira. He just seems off lately. Ever since he got back"
"The kid might just be bored but who can blame him" Sojiro replied opening the door to the house as they both walked in.
Chatroom Without Akira
Yusuke: What is the plan for tomorrow?
Haru: Are there any plans Makoto
Ryuji: Why don't we ask Akira?
Ann: Idiot were talking about any plans regarding Akira
Futaba: Don't bother Ann he's gonna end up forgetting
Makoto: For now we really gotta come up with ways for him to talk to us
Makoto: It seems to be affecting the way he fights
Ryuji: Yeah. He seems a little bit slow, but since he's usually fast it's barely noticeable
Futaba: He noticed something useful! IS this really Ryuji?!
Ryujii: Shut up! I've just noticed since I've been there with him since he started fighting and all
Ryuji: I assumed that he's just a bit sluggish from not fighting for a while.
Ann: I think it's more than that though
Yusuke: Well since you've known him the longest what is he like?
Ryuji: Honestly I don't know much myself
Haru: But I thought that you guys were best friends
Ann: They are but I've noticed too that Akira doesn't really talk much
Futaba: Oh I almost forgot! I learned info from Sojiro about Akira today!
Yusuke: Why were you guys talking about Akira today?
Futaba: Shut up Inari and let me explain!
Futaba: He told me his parents were friends of his and that they were kind of mad at Akira for getting into trouble
Yusuke: But would they not side with him after hearing his side of the story?
Makoto: It does seem rather odd
Ann: Maybe they just decided to listen to the police like most people do
Ryuji: But man that's messed up! If I had a kid I would listen to their side.
Haru: Maybe they thought he was lying to them?
Ryuji:But Akira is a good kid!
Haru: Well since we don't know much about his past and all maybe he got into trouble sometimes
Futaba: I hardly believe that. I feel like his parents affected him a lot though
Ann: Why is that?
Futaba: I'm not sure if what he told me today was a joke
Futaba: But he was sleeping against the wall when I went to return Mona to him.
Futaba: We told him to go to bed but he made a comment about not hurting him.
Ann: Do you mean he could...
Futaba: I'm not sure he said it in such a playful way I can't tell
Makoto: We should all meet up tomorrow or something to discuss this after school then.
Ann: That works with me
Futaba: I'll be waiting
Yusuke: Where else would you go
Futaba: Shut up Inari
Ryuji: Let's find out whats wrong with our leader!
Dream:
"You insolent fool!"
"What were your thinking!"
"You are not apart of this family get out!"
"look it's that guy!"
"He looks kinda cute"
"No way I wouldn't risk it! I hear he's a foster kid who has mental issues"
"Really? And here I thought he had potential too"
"Mom dad?" Akira asked out looking around.
"DIE YOU WORTHLESS SCUM!" A voice rang out before a shadowy big hand getz raised upon me and Akira raises his hands in a form to protect himself.
*gasp*
'A dream' Akira thinks as he looks astound his room sitting up
"I'm such an idiot..." He whispered
Tears prickled his eyes and threatened to spill but he wouldn't let them
"I can do this. I ca-cant be useless" He breathes out putting a hand on his chest feeling it tighten.
"Gosh dang it I'm so pathetic!"
The feeling around his chest feels caged and tightens more.
Akira puts a hand to his chest and another to his mouth.
'What time is it?' He thinks as he picks his phone and finds it's midnight
'Today was when...'
Images flash as he looks around his room but instead of the usual attic objects he sees black.
"Dad?"
"go away"
"okay love you"
Akira raised a hand to his head. I just need to sleep. I'll just sleep in tomorrow everything will be fine.
Ill continue this another time I've been working on it for a while but it's about time I worked on other stories.
