Thank you velvetoath for the review. And yes, Minato crying was meant to be unexpected. Even I didn't expect it. Seeing as the whole time, I was wondering how to get Yukari to know Minato better. And how to get her to read him. Him smiling at her was the reason, but I needed a reason for him to smile. Minato's smile cures cancer and grants you superpowers! Warning: You might become diabetic if you see it.

This is a sub-chapter. A mini story if you will. I will write these sub-chapters just to lighten the story. Like in the manga. These stories are still in Yukari's perspective. But, it focuses on Minato. So expect to see less of Yukari here.

Format goes like this:

Yukari's narration….

*SFX*

Location/Date

Stupei: STOP CALLING ME THAT! *! Breaks the fourth wall and looks at his name* And don't go changing my name like that!

(Yukari's thoughts at the time)

Minato: *Blushes* Thanks….

Note: Only Yukari can see Minato's expression.

EOA

Chapter 3.5: Minato's cooking

The dorm used to have a dorm mother. She always takes care of the cooking and cleaning. But since she left, we have to take care of it. The cleaning, I can do. But when it comes to cooking…. It's not that I can't cook. If anything, I'm proud to say that I am a damn good one. It's mostly because there wasn't any time to do it. I'd be late for school if I were make my lunch at home, so I had no choice but to get it from school. And if I were to get early, I'd be too sleepy to pay attention in class. I always hang out with my friends on Sundays so…. To make it short, I have no time to cook.

I told this to Minato about this, and he said he'd do something about. I was wondering what he meant about it that time. The next day ….

Dorm/April something (Can't remember, please tell me if you do)

Yukari: *Yawns* Morning already? So tired….. Maybe I should ask Minato-kun to skip out on going to Tartarus today. *Gets up and heads to the bathroom.*

Ten minutes later…. 1st floor of the dorm

*The smell of Bacon and Eggs fills the air*

Yukari: (Mmmm…. Something smells good. I wonder what it is?) *Heads to the direction of the smell.* *Sees Minato sitting down on the dining table eating. There is one more set of breakfast next to him*

Minato: *Notices Yukari* *Smiling* Morning Yukari.

Yukari: Good morning. Did you make this Minato?

Minato: *Nods* Yes, this is for you. *Points at the other set*

Yukari: *Surprised* Oh. This is surprising… What's the occasion?

Minato: Didn't you complain about the dorm mother leaving us last night? I said I'd do something about it right?

Yukari: Huh? *Trys to remember* Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Wait… so this was your solution?

Minato: *Sad* You don't like it?

Yukari: *Nervous* No, no…. It's fine. Er….. *Takes a bite out of the bacon. It's delicious* It's… amazing!

Minato: *Happy* I'm glad you like it. Oh, and I made lunch too. *Grabs two bento boxes and hands one to Yukari*

Yukari: *Takes it* Thanks. But you didn't have to go all the trouble.

Minato: Don't worry about it.

Minato was a great cook. So good, I think the only one who can beat him is… never mind. So anyway, from that day on, Minato would always wake up early and cook breakfast and lunch for us. I guess he could afford it, seeing as how he sleeps through class everyday. I'm still wondering how he can come out the top among the second years though.

School/Lunchtime

Junpei: *Whistles* Man, those lunches look good. But…. Why are they always both the same? Don't tell me you made it just for the two of you Yuka-tan.

Yukari: Don't be stupid.

Junpei: Really? *Looks at Minato* So what? You're the one who made them?

Minato: *Nods*

Junpei: Just for the two of you… Almost like a-

Yukari: *Looks at Junpei angrily* Don't you DARE finish that sentence.

Junpei: Yeah yeah… *Looks at Minato* So…. Where's mine?

Minato: *Confused* Yours?

Junpei: What? You didn't make one for me? What kind of friend are you?

Minato: *Sad* Sorry….

Yukari: Don't apologize. He's just mad because he had to do extra homework. That's what you get for skipping out on doing it.

Junpei: Man, talk about harsh Yuka-tan…

Dorm/Evening

Yukari: So… what's for dinner tonight?

Minato: Spaghetti. And for dessert, pudding.

Yukari: Ohh… Pudding! My favourite.

*Door opens, Akihiko and Mitsuru comes in*

Yukari: Welcome back.

Akihiko: *Smells something cooking* We're home. What's that smell? It smells good.

Yukari: Oh, Minato is making dinner.

Mitsuru: Dinner? Just the two of you.

Yukari: Well, you can join us if you want…

Akihiko: Count me in. So, what's he makin'?

Yukari: Spaghetti. We're having Pudding for dessert.

Mitsuru: Hmm, Spaghetti… All right, I'll have some too.

Yukari: Okay. *Walks into the kitchen to tell Minato and returns* He said it'll be ready in five minutes.

*Five minutes later, everyone began to eat*

Akihiko: This is really good.

Mitsuru: Yes… Even better than the chefs back home… Maybe I should hire you as my personal chef in the future Arisato. *Chuckles*

Minato: *Nervous* I'll… think about it…

That night sealed the deal that Minato-kun was a good cook. I heard that Mitsuru-senpai was hard to please when it comes to food. So when she said that his cooking was better than the ones back at her home… How I missed those days… Of course, Junpei was the only one who never once tasted his cooking. Seeing as Minato made it a rule that he'll only cook enough for the people in the room. Unless they called in late, they're never getting the chance to eat his food. I think I'm the only one who never missed it though. Seeing as how I'm always with him. Or rather how he's always with me…

Junpei: …. Now I really want to know ho his cooking tastes like… Curse you Minato!

End of sub-chapter

Please imagine the 'Curse you Kyoto' from Persona 3 in the last sentence. Anyway, this chapter didn't go as well as I planned. Hopefully, it'll get better in the other sub-chapters. Sorry in advance if there are any bad grammar. Some typos are intentional.
