A.N.- Hey, sorry I'm a late. Chapter's may take a while to make as I have been working on other ideas for stories and college has started back up.

Anyways, please enjoy! "Tired" and "Call" are both in a Gang!au. I was working on the word "Gang" when I realized that it would work better as another word...twice... It happens a lot.

I do not own Persona. Atlus is doing fine.

Summer

"Why does it have to be so cold?!" Rise shivered while Naoto handed her the hot drink.

The two were sitting on the hill like they usually did, but the cold winds made it obvious to them that winter had come. At the sight of snow, the two decided that it was better to head inside and have some hot chocolate or coffee.

"Do you want the scientific answer or the sarcastic one?" Rise smiled into her cup and lightly jabbed Naoto's side.

"Oh shut up." Naoto chuckled. "I just can't wait for summ…er…" Rise's voice trailed off and they both gained an awkward silence.

Once summer came, they probably wouldn't see each other. Naoto needed to travel to various cases and Rise was going back to her idol business. They would definitely use their cellphones and computers but it was not the same as leaning against each other, knowing that they were truly there.

They grasped each other's hand and smiled.

Summer was a long time away, so for now they could survive off the other's warmth.

Tired

Naoto stood and stretched her legs. The Banchou's orders were complete and she could finally go home. Fixing all of the damages from their last fight took a long while and she had work in the morning.

After changing out of her mechanic clothes, she grabbed her keys from her desk and spotted a peculiar sight.

Rise was sprawled out on the old couch Kanji put in. Normally, she would check all of the cameras and head home before it got dark out, why was she still here?

Naoto walked over and examined the idol. She was sleeping but the way she was laying with only half of her body on the couch and the other on the floor looked rather uncomfortable. The couch was really big enough for two people and Rise was shivering. Naoto decided that those things needed to be remedied and went over to get the emergency blanket.

Apparently, by the word of Kanji, the gang never packed emergency supplies until he brought it up. Naoto was rather thankful for that as many a time went by that they needed a fire extinguisher or a first-aid kit.

After pulling the blanket back to the couch, she rested it on the back and started to carefully move Rise back to a more comfortable position. Naoto grabbed the blanket and covered the sleeping idol with it, making her shift to be warmer.

Naoto sighed and patted the idol's head. It was rather clear that Yu was getting more paranoid about their rival gang but having Rise monitor the cameras until she was tired enough to fall asleep right there was asking a bit much.

While she was busy thinking, Rise had woken.

"…Naoto?" The mumble made the detective jump out of her thoughts. "What time is it?" Rise tried to sit up, still not fully awake.

"Late," Naoto replied, "It's safer if you stay here for the night." Rise looked blankly at her before shifting over on the couch.

"Okay, then we can share this." Rise looked over to the space she left on the couch and decided that that was enough before plopping back down.

"What?" Naoto was sure Rise was too tired to think.

"It's too dangerous for me to go home, so it's the same with you." Naoto stood there silently, wondering if she could object to this. "'Sides, I feel safer when you're around."

The statement left the detective with a blush as Rise drifted back to sleep.

She had work in the morning… but this place was closer to the police station, Naoto decided and climbed on the couch.

Call

"I have obtained what you wanted, Narukami." Yu was sure his smile could be seen over the phone.

"Good. Have you found out anything else?" There was a rustling sound of Naoto flipping towards a particular paper.

"I'll tell you the full account later." Naoto was the best at code; even if she used words that would seem suspicious on anyone else, it would seem like her normal tone of voice.

"So there has been activity?"

"Of course; I am on my way." Right before he could close his cell-phone, Rise walked by and yelled loud enough that Naoto could hear.

"Love you!" Yu could tell that Naoto was blushing furiously. Yu angled his phone so she could give a response.

"Love you too, Rise." With a click, they both hung up and Yu turned to the humming girl.

"Did you really have to do that? She'll be over here in a couple minutes."

"Sorry Banchou," she laughed and turned back to her monitors. Yu simply sighed and rolled his eyes.

He knew that she would do it again, but he honestly did not want to discourage the two. He noticed that ever since they got together, the twos' moods were greatly brighter. He was happy for them.

He just wished that Rise would stop interrupting his business calls.
