Hello, welcome to my very first fanfiction. I was inspired to write this story with combination of other fanfiction-writers and the actual Persona 3/FES game. I try to keep the characters to their actual personality; to make things more realistic as possible. I am a huge Aigis fan and I wanted to bring a romantic side of view of her. The narrator is Minato Arisato, and Aigis will appear human. I will use some game reference and majority of the setting and plot will be fictional. Please note that there are some mature content here (as the chapters goes on). Also, I accept suggestions, comments, and private messages so feel free to do so. Without further complications, please enjoy the reading!

I ONLY WRITE FICTIONAL STORIES, AND WILL NOT CLAIM ANY CHARACTERS OR IDEAS. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS OR THE ACTUAL GAME ITSELF.

PS: I'm been receiving lots of PMs stating that Minato is showing his affection with Aigis too soon. I'm not escalating his feelings for her right off the bat. His feelings for her seems familiar at some point and doesn't know how to react to her. It appears to be he's showing it but in reality he's just nervious (i.e: the subway, (her closeness), her smiles/politeness (caught him off guard). I'm sorry if it appears that way, I will try to reword the story if possible. Thank you again for your reviews and comments.
Chapter One: A New Form of Bond
"Hey have you heard the news? A new transfer student is coming to our class!"
"Really?! I hope we get a cute guy!"
I walked past the gossiping girls, and listened to my mp3 player. "Things hasn't change here huh," thinking to myself. As I walk to the school entrance, something hit my back.
"Yo! Minato! Can you believe we are back in school...gah! I almost got lost finding my way to school... But hey, we had fun over the break, right?" Junpei smiled widely at me.
I took off my earphones, and nod at him in an agreement "Yes I did, actually." Junpei, he was one of my best friend since middle school; he always had my back whenever I get into trouble. The three us: Junpei, Yukari, and I; spent nearly the whole summer hanging out. At times we invite Fuuka, Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Shinji-senpai to our activities. Everyday I felt like we had nothing to worry about and just enjoy what life offers to us.
We walked together and talked idle conversations until we reached to our class, Class 2-F.
I took a brief nap, (since we arrived early) and I heard a familiar voice calling my name, "Hey there sleepyhead! Come on wake up Minato!"
I open my eyes slightly and Yukari is standing in front of my desk. "Good morning" I said weakly. Yukari is my neighbor, as well as a good friend to me. I met her while I met Junpei. At times, she would check on me and you could say she acts like a guardian.
"Here's your lunch..." she hands me a small bento box. "I figured that you didn't have enough time to pack yourself one."
I gracefully accepted the bento box. "Thank you, what's in it?"
"Onigiri and some sandwiches. Oh...And I got you some too Junpei" Yukari handed Junpei a small bento box.
"Sweeeet! thanks Yuka-tan! I owe you someday!" Junpei seems like he is drooling just by looking at the crafty bento box.
The door opens and Ms. Toruimi enters the room with a girl... A girl that I've never seen before.
"Alright everyone settle down, Composition will begin shortly. But before we begin, we have a new student. Why don't you introduce yourself."
The imbalance girl approaches up to the class and hesitating "H-Hello...my name is ... A-Aigis... It's nice to meet you..." I caught her eyes on to me when she finished her introduction, but she quickly looked away. Hmm...
"Don't be shy Aigis. Everyone be sure to treat her well and make her feel welcome. Now we need to find you a seat... Lets see...Oh there's an empty seat next to Arisato. You may sit there, Aigis" Ms. Toruimi points the empty next to me.
"Understood..." She slowly walk to her desk and took her seat.
I heard some whispers behind me; "Dude that's not fair how come he gets to be next to her?! Damn she is cute..." I sigh, at least my friends aren't like them. I turn my head to face Junpei and he is giving me that jealously look. "Nevermind..." I thought to myself.
Then Ms. Toruimi looks at me, "Oh I forgot, Aigis didn't get a tour around the school yet; she was a late transfer student and since Arisato received the highest score on the exam, you can give Aigis the tour.
I blinked and took a minute to comprehend Ms. Toruimi's request. I nod, in agreement, and look over Aigis "lets go." Aigis stood up and left the room first and I follow her out. Somehow, I could sense all the guy's eyes were on to me with hatred...
Once we were outside, she didn't say a word to me and I let out a small sigh. We walked to various hallways and rooms. During the tour, she seems to comprehend all the information I've been telling her. I noticed she would be keep a good length behind me, "is she afraid of me?" noting to myself.
We finally arrive back to the front of the classroom. "That concludes the tour...do you have any questions?" I look at her with some encouragement.
"..."
I guess not... "Well we should head back, second period is about to start." I turn my body to face the door, and the moment I was about to open the door. She grab my wrist, preventing me to open the door.
"W-Wait... I actually... have something to ask..." the blonde replied. I look at her, intrigue of what she will say.
"I... umm...wanted to know if you can...hang-out with me...if that's okay with you."
Somehow my eyes widen a bit from her request. I didn't know how to respond to her...but I manage to move my lips. "...Sure, just tell me whenever you're free."
She looked up slowly, "Umm...I was thinking today actually. I am new to the area..." She is still holding my wrist but a bit tighter. "So it would be nice to have someone to show me around..."
We made eye contact, her eyes...there is something about her eyes... I snapped my inner thoughts and I nodded my head. "I am free after school actually, so..."
*The bell rings for the next period*
I gave her a weak smile at her "I guess we can talk about this during lunch."
LUNCHTIME
I stretch out my arms "Boy, I'm hungry." Junpei locked my neck with his arms.
"Soooo... how is it like being with a cute girl like Ai-san?" Junpei already has a nickname for her; he must really like her then. Yukari steps in and pushes Junpei alway from me. "Jeez, leave him alone, just because you're jealous doesn't mean you can bother him" Yukari puts on her annoyed face.
I looked over Aigis and she seems to look worried. "Is something wrong Aigis?"
She looks disappointed, "Oh...um...I forgot to pack my lunch..."
Junpei puts on his sharps eyes, ready to say something but Yukari pulls his collar.
"Oh no you don't. Not just long ago you said 'I owe you, something.' Well I need some help sorting some equipments for archery. Now come on!" Yukari pulled his collar to the exit and Junpei appears devastated "BUT I-I DIDN'T EAT YET!"
I gave a small wave at Junpei and resume back to Aigis "You can have my lunch, we can share."
Aigis immediately responded "P-Please...don't. There's no need for you to do that. I-"
I interrupt her mumbling by holding out one of Yukari's sandwiches "Here."
She gave up being a rebellion and accepted the sandwich I offered her. We sat our desk, eating our sandwiches silently, (apparently we were the only one in class).
Aigis' expression seems delighted "Mmm...this is delicious! Did you...make this?"
I looked over "No, Yukari made these sandwiches. She makes lunch for me and Junpei whenever she has time."
"Oh...you must be lucky to have friends who cared for you," she looks down at her bitten sandwich.
Strangely I had some idea of what's going on in her mind. "Don't you have friends as well?"
She replied "...No... I've always been alone..."
Those words hit me when she said she was alone... It reminded when I found out my parents were dead... Until I met Junpei and Yukari in middle school. I didn't want Aigis to tell me her past, "it would be rude to ask why" noting myself. Quickly on my feet I try to change topic.
"Oh you mention that you wanted to hang out with me" I took a bite out of my sandwich. Aigis turned her head towards me. "That's right, I wanted to know the area...so I thought it would be nice if you could show me around. If you don't want to...I'm not forcing you to do it. Maybe I-"
"That sounds a great idea. I would gladly give you a tour...again," I said calmly.
She nod her head and continues finishing her sandwich. I felt in that moment, there was something special about her from the other girls. We continue to finish our food and class resumes...
AFTERSCHOOL
Aigis starts to pack her belongings and waiting patiently for me. Yukari came up to me "heading home?"
"I got to take Aigis out; to show her around town."
Yukari looked at Aigis, "Hmm...? You're new around here?"
Aigis replied nervously, "Y-Yes, I'm new to town." I didn't want Aigis to feel uncomfortable "I volunteered, but don't worry I won't be gone too long."
"Well you better! I don't want you to come home late." I saw Aigis reaction, I guess I have to explain to her soon...
"Thank you for your concern, Yukari. I won't be late, I promise" I smiled at Yukari, stating it would alright. She looked away and heads out to find Junpei.
I turned to face Aigis "Lets go."
"Right."
OUT OF SCHOOL
We walked together briefly without exchanging a word. The sun was out and it felt nice.
"Not to be rude Minato-kun...but where are we going?" She was walking behind me...I guess she is still nervous. I answered "to the mall, you can see what stores you might like and what's available."
"Oh...ok." Afterwards, it felt awkward...I never knew a girl could be difficult to talk to.
We manage to arrive at Paulownia Mall. "Well, we're here" I stared at Aigis.
"It's very enormous here! I wonder what store to go...?" she joyfully looks around all the assorted lights and stores.
"We can go all the stores if you like" I replied.
She nod her head and we began looking at various stores. "She seemed to enjoy herself," peacefully thinking to myself.
Suddenly, Aigis looks at one of the jewelry stores' window. I walked over to her, "Lets go inside and see what they have." We entered at Be Blue V, and immediately Aigis starts looking around all sorts of accessories. I past by something that caught on my attention, "hmm..." Quickly I bought an item that I wanted and catch up with Aigis. I met up with her in the corner of the store.
Aigis seems to have interest on a certain item "are you interested in anything?" I said calmly.
"Oh no not at all, beside it is pretty expensive here..." she said with a disappointed look.
I couldn't help but to admire her; most girls will beg for a discount. "Well, lets keep going there's more to see."
As we walked to Port Island Station, she seems to get more comfortable around me. "Hey um...Minato-kun," whispering to me.
"Hm?"
"Something came up in my mind... and I want your opinion about it" she starts to mutter with her words.
"Oh?" I moved my corner of my eye to see her "What is it?"
"I...uh...think...well let me put it this way. Do you think I'm weird?" she said with despondency.
I blinked "Not at all, why would I think of you like that?"
"Because...I feel like I'm not that intriguing... and maybe you're getting bored of hanging out with me..." Aigis doesn't look at me but I could tell she wanted me to be truthful.
We arrived at Port Island Station and waiting on the platform. I turned my body to face her "No, in matter in fact, I enjoy being with you. So don't worry about it" I smiled gently at her.
Her eyes widen at bit and before she could say anything the train arrived.
The doors open, but it was crowd of people inside. Ugh, right I forgot...there are some students still returning from school. I took Aigis' hand and rush into the interior of the train. Since there isn't any room in the train, Aigis was fairly close to me...in fact a little too close. She was standing in front of my chest and looks nervous. My face started to heat up a bit.
"I'm sorry, that it turns out to be like this...next time this won't happen again" I look down at her blue eyes.
"Heh...It is alright as long as we got on the train right..?" she blushes, and I couldn't help but to look away.
"I never knew a girl can make me blush..." thinking to myself.
We stand awkwardly close to each other. Our stop has finally arrived and I quickly pulled her out of the train. Maybe I shouldn't hold her hand without her permission...
I shake my head "I'm sorry about that... I shouldn't be rushing you like this...nor holding your hand."
Aigis replied with some confidence "I-it's alright..." She looks around and notices we stopped at Iwatodai Station.
"Oh, we are at Iwatodai Station. I live a few blocks away from here" Aigis turned her face to me.
"Really? Same here... I guess you nearby me. Say... you want something to eat I'm getting hungry" I said while grinning at her.
"Sure, what would you like to eat? I'm up with anything."
"Lets go to the strip mall and see what food we could eat"
We walk the outskirt of Iwatodai Station and Aigis walks over to Octopia.
She looks over a costumer, who is having a hard time eating them. "What are they eating?" Aigis points her finger to a costumer.
"This stand sells Takoyaki, it's a ball-shaped snack made up of flour and batter; the filling is octopus. You never tried one?" questioning her with my curiosity.
Aigis shake her head no "It sounds tasty."
I walk over to the stand and brought:two orders of Takoyaki and a bottle of water (I had a hunch that I might need the water). I found a nearby bench and ask Aigis to join me.
"Here you go" handing one of my Takoyaki. "It's my treat. Be carefuly eating them, it is extremely hot."
She sigh "You didn't have to pay for me... But thank you Minato-kun" she accepts the Takoyaki and tries to bite the whole Takoyaki.
My eyes widen and my mouth opens probably down to the floor. Aigis' mouth is suffering from the hot Takoyaki. I quickly opened my water bottle and helped Aigis swallow the water. Aigis engulfs the water and she calms down.
I released a sign of relief, "don't scare me like that, I told you to eat it carefully" giving her a pout look.
Aigis looks away from embarrassment "I'm s-sorry... I thought I could handle it."
I got my Takoyaki again and this time I blow them to cool off a bit. "Ok here try this" holding the Takoyaki in my hand to feed her.
She turns her head facing me and in shock. At first she was hesitant but finally she accepts and nibbles out the Takoyaki. "Hmm...this is good but it's still hot. I-I can eat this by myself now..." She grabs her portion of Takoyaki and starts to eat.
A few moment of awkwardness past by... until she spokes.
"Back when we were about to leave school, Yukari-san mention 'get back home soon' what is she implying? Do you live with her?" Aigis is staring at me with confusion.
I knew she would ask me about this... "Well Yukari is my neighbor and she looks after me and her parents, since I have no parents or a guardian looking after me."
Aigis still appears to be confused "Your parents are never home?"
Thinking back to that question, I don't think I remember. It took me a while to respond to her. "No, they died long time ago. I live by myself."
Aigis was shocked how I told her my parent's history. "I'm sorry...I didn't know, I shouldn't had ask..."
A smirk is on my face, I knew she would say that. "Not at all, I'm use to living alone. You can say Yukari is my guardian; ever since I moved into this town she's been taking care of me."
"That must be awful, don't you ever feel lonely?" she gave a small sigh.
"Nope, I have friends who took care of me." I looked at her eyes. It felt she is jealous or something? Without realizing the sun was setting, I should probably take her home.
"Where do you live Aigis? I will walk you home" I began to throw out my trash.
"I think I know how to get to my house from here."
"Lead the way" bowing to her.
LATE AFTERNOON
It looks beautiful outside, the sun was setting down and there's still a warm breeze. Aigis kept a close distance to me, but she won't give eye contact.
"So Aigis, what about you? Why did you move here?" I finally manage to say something to her.
She didn't reply immediately, but she took a while to get some words coming out of her mouth. "I... moved here because of school problems. Apparently, I wasn't treated well. So...I had...to move."
I faced her and we walked at a slower pace. "How come? Why would they picked on you?" questioning her to get some answer out.
She tries to sustain her suffering, but I could see it through her. "I...was picked on because you know... the usual stuff. They didn't appreciate what I had."
Something that they didn't appreciate? Maybe I shouldn't ask, but it seems she isn't telling me the full story. I apologized "I'm sorry, I shouldn't asked it's not my right to ask you."
Aigis with her simplistic voice "Ha...it's alright..."
Afterwards, we didn't speak and Aigis stopped. "This is it..."
I looked around the area, looks familiar. Aigis' house is simple modern house, probably two stories tall, yet it looks elegant on the outside.
"You don't live so far from me; I live just three block this way" pointing the direction where I live.
Aigis was surprised "What a coincidence" smiling at me.
My face starts to burn up. I put my hands in my pocket and I felt something. "Right...that present" thinking mentally to myself.
Aigis bowed at me "Thank you for today, I appreciate your time with me."
Oh the formalities. "There's no need for that Aigis. You can tell me whenever you want to hang."
She glances at me with joy, "Why thank you."
...Another awkward moment.
"I should get home, I don't want you to stay out too long...Well goodbye." she quickly turn away and open her entrance door.
My mouth moves on its own "Wait..."
Aigis stood while holding the door knob.
"I forgot to give you something," searching into my pocket and I pulled out her gift and hand it out in my hand.
"There's no need to buy me a gift..." looking at me with her blue eyes.
I shake my head " I insist since you're new here, I figured you would like a welcoming present."
She renounce her hesitation accepting the small box and opens the box. Her eyes widen...
I respond, "It's a red bow, I thought you might like it with your school uniform...and.." I look away from embarrassment "you might look good in it..."
Aigis gave me the most gentlest smile I've ever seen. "I love it Minato-kun. It is beautiful, I will wear it everyday." From that moment her smile...something felt off...my heart skip a bit. What' wrong with me?
I looked at my cell phone "Well, I have to go... I'll see you tomorrow." I turned the other direction and start to walk down. But something pulled my arm...it was Aigis.
"Wait..." gripping my arms tightly. Kind of hurts...
"I want to know...if... I can pack your lunch tomorrow...if that's ok?"
I was a bit surprised and excited what she will make. "Sure, I'm good with anything. Just cook something that you will like."
She nods her head as a sense of gratitude. "I will head home now. I'll see you tomorrow...Minato-kun." I wave her goodbye and she went inside of her house. I began walking back home.
I reach into my pocket, to get my cell phone and text Yukari, "I'll be home at five minutes. You don't have to be worried." Closing my cell phone and putting on my earphones to listen to one of my favorite music.
As I reach to my entrance of my house, I thought to myself... "She is one interesting girl." I open the door and wonder what will tomorrow will bring.
Chapter 2 is on it's way, but I do have exams and other things to work at. But I will promise, the moment I have free time I will work on the story. Furthermore, the relationship between the two will die down on the upcoming chapters. This chapter represents how a new bond was form and Minato is dealing with a person who he's trying to understand. I'm sorry again if the two relationship looks what it's appears, but it's not. I will say, this is the only chapter (so far) that they will grasp this closely. I thank you for taking your time to read at my stories. Until next time... Chapter 2: The New Beginning.
