I do not own the Persona series or RWBY. Everything belongs to their respective owners.

It was certainly festive and very loud as the birthday the male teenager was surrounded by people who liked him to an extreme. Minato didn't mind commenting how… amazed he felt much to Qrow's, Ruby's Tai's, and Yang's delight, pride and relief. It was certainly suspenseful just wondering whether or not the blue-haired boy would enjoy their work, but he certainly did.

They couldn't decide on what type of birthday cake they wanted to give for Minato. Ruby suggested blueberry because of his hair color, but then everyone else shot it down. Some could be said about other suggestions. There was a huge war between chocolate and vanilla and fights that may or may not have resulted in physical damage to Tai and Qrow. Eventually, the two of them settled for a compromise when Yang managed to put a stop of the situation.

Minato's eyes blinked and stared as he saw a large decorated cake with one side with white frosting while the other had brown. Yang was more than happy to have Minato sample both flavors. Minato made sure to savor the first bite of the two slices before becoming nearly speechless once again. Everyone just smiled at the sight of the boy's reactions.

Ruby however wanted to try some of the cake immediately as well. She had been waiting for two weeks to try it. Rushing forward to try and grab one of the plates in Minato's hands, the blue-haired boy moved the piece holding the food upwards. The result was indeed keeping it away from the younger sister… Only for the cake and frosting to be shoved and half-smeared onto Tai's face due to his positioning right behind the boy.

There was a silence.

Then a loud laughter was heard and everyone turned their attention to the individual who was holding his stomach. "HAHAHA, oh, shoot! You should have seen the look on your freaking face when you-!" Qrow didn't even get to completely finish as a piece of cake hit him square in the eyes.

Wiping the brown frosting off of his face, he glared at the slightly smirking Tai. With a mischievous glint in his red eyes, the black-haired male scooped up the closest piece of food he could find. Ruby, being the most childish of them all, couldn't resist the chance to rile things up, quickly threw herself into the fray and it only began to devolve from there.

It only took a few minutes Yang to take part in the food fight. Even Minato joined in at some point. The boy found himself throwing small pies and other desserts while listening to everyone shout out warnings to one another. All of them were having the times of their lives as Minato couldn't stop smiling at everyone's laughter.

Soon, the battle settled down. Mainly because there had been no more food left to be thrown, which Minato didn't mind, and they told the blue-haired male that it was time to open presents. It took nearly an hour to clean up, but then it was more than satisfying as they all began to sit around the table.

Ruby held out a very badly wrapped red parcel proudly in which Minato accepted it in his usual emotion, but with slightly equal fervour seen in his actions. Sticking one finger under part of the wrapping that had not been taped down, he trailed his finger along it and cleanly opened the packaging. Inside the parcel was a grey-pistol of sorts, engraved with the initials S.E.E.S on the side of the barrel. Beneath it were several magazines and shotgun shell casings.

"Behold, the Specialized Emergency Execution Sidearm; S.E.E.S for short! It's a Mark XIX Desert Eagle .50 action express, one of the most powerful semi-automatic handguns with a weight of 4.4 lb, gas-operated, muzzle velocity 470 m/s, firing range of 200 m, magazine capacity of 9 rounds, and many parts customized by yours truly!" Ruby stated, gesturing to herself while rocking back and forth on her feet before beginning to point into the box. "Also has been modified to fire shotgun cartridges for messy, close range situations. It's your choice to use it, but then it also has an accessory purpose. Just remember to keep it empty if you prefer the second option so you don't shoot yourself in the foot by accident."

Minato kept his gaze fixed on the gun, looking over its entire body. He then looked over towards Ruby. "Thank you. This is an… amazing gift." He trailed off, having a feeling of how much effort was put into it. Eyeing the inside of the box, there was still more inside. Reaching in, he then pulled out a thigh-holster followed by a book named How to Love Your Gun.

Ruby knew it was another person's turn, so she stepped back as Tai was next and handed Minato a small bag that fit right into his hand. Opening what he had, the blue-haired fished out a key and only looked up to Tai. The adult only chuckled while gesturing with his head. "Come on," He stated while stepping up the stairs. "I want to show you something."

All of the kids looked at each other. Not seeing Qrow grinning, all of them began to climb up after Tai as they ended up on the second floor. Ruby and Yang both frowned when they saw their dad standing in front of a door. "I don't remember a room being there." Ruby commented, scrunching her face up in thought.

"That's because there wasn't one before." Tai stated while folding his arms with a smile. "Qrow and I, along with a few other guys while you all were at school, built this room in secret."

"…How did we not notice this for the past two weeks?" Yang questioned her own father. But then it hit her. "Wait…" She trailed off. "Does that mean…"

Tai simply grabbed the knob and pushed the door open. "Want to check out your room, Minato?" He asked as he gestured the boy to walk in.

Minato froze slightly, once more being filled with surprise. His room? His own room? Inside of this household? Stepping forward, he entered the room and was amazed. Not at the moderate size of the room. Not at how it looked, although it looked really nice. It was that it was supposed to be for him. All of that effort put in to make this one space… just for him…

"Do you like it?" Tai asked as both Yang and Ruby stepped in as well to admire their surroundings while Qrow continued to have a knowing grin on his face. "That's not it though. You're probably still wondering about the key." Minaot nodded. "Well, it's a key to the house."

"…" Minato showed his surprise once again. "A key…" He slowly asked, getting a nod from Tai. "…To the house?" The blonde adult confirmed his question with another nod. "…But… how? I'm-"

"Not allowed to stay in another household if they are not under the supervision of your legal guardian." Qrow finished for Minato, immediately earning the blue-haired boy's look. "Well, that's what this is for." The man with a name similar to a bird reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper.

Just one look at it and Minato gulped for the first time in his life. "…Is… that…"

"The papers that are needed to be filled out for adoption." Qrow finished for the boy once again. "Yup, you got that right. You're still Minato Arisato, but I'm your legal guardian. However…" He slowly trailed off, looking over to Tai. "I'm away for a really long time a lot. So, you'll pretty much end up spending most of your time here with Tai and the girls."

It took Minato a few seconds to comprehend what had happened. Even after making sense of it, it still took him a bit of time to react. Blinking, his face began to feel a bit wet again. Once again, he began to cry. Holding his hand up, he looked back down to the key that was still in his hands. He let out a shaky breath, but it also sounded like a small laugh at the same time.

Yang also laughed loudly as she hugged the blue-haired boy tightly with a cheer while Tai began ruffling Minato's hair. Ruby walked up closely to the three of them, but was still had her face scrunched up in thought. "I'm confused." Ruby stated.

"In other words," Qrow stepped up and ripped Minato out of Tai's grasp while grinding his finger against the boy's scalp repeatedly. "Welcome to the family, kid."

Y13

The party had lasted all afternoon.

Pretty much everyone but Minato and Yang had fallen asleep, mainly to nap due to all of the energy they had spent. Amazingly, the teenage duo had stayed awake. As the two of them sat on the couch, Minato was sipping from a cup of soda when Yang remembered something.

"Oh right, I still have to give you your present." The blonde suddenly stated, slapping a fist into her palm. She looked over to see Minato turn his head to look at her. "Come on, let's go into town. We can grab some food of your choice while I give it to you. My treat."

Minato shrugged his shoulders but then began to follow the blonde outside. Making their way out of the forest to a place much more populated with civilization, they eventually made their way to a small café and the two of them sat down. A waiter soon arrived and the two teens ordered what they wanted. With a quick bow from the one who took their order, the duo were left along together.

Yang pulled on the collar of her shirt and reached down. As her arm began rummaging around the area inside of her clothing, she grinned at how Minato had began just giving her a flat stare at what she was doing.

"You are so lucky that no one else is around to see this." He stated, making her only laugh in response.

"I wouldn't be doing this in front of you if that weren't the case." Yang soon fished out a small packaging of her own, a small parcel wrapped up in black and yellow paper.

Taking the present and opening it, he saw that inside was a pair of clip-on earphones. Connected to those accessories was a neck strap and a mp3 player. Right next to the electronic was a charger as well. "Well, I still remember how you seemed to like the music Ruby played a few months ago. So I thought that you could get a few of your own songs to listen to personally." Yang explained. "Supposedly, the battery life is supposed to last pretty long on that thing. About 40 hours if I remember."

"…" Minato, once again, found himself speechless for who knows how many times that day within the span of 6 hours. "Th-thank you." The voice and look that came from Minato was so soft and warm that Yang took a second to recognize the voice belonged to the blue-haired boy. Without his neutral tone, it was so different.

"Ah, you don't have to be like that." Yang waved her hand, using the other hand to scratch the back of her head. The two didn't notice the waiter even bring their food as they started to dig in without realizing it.

"But I will." Minato stated, blowing on his meal before taking in the food and swallowing. "Ever since I met you, you just always manage a way to make me thankful of meeting you. From our time outside of classes, to introducing me to your family. Even today, you gave me just what could possibly be one of – if not the – best day of my life."

"Come on." Yang folded her arms in amusement, continuing to grin. "I'm just doing what any friend would do."

"And I admire your personality." Minato stated back. "If I had to say, it's one of the things I really like about you."

That last sentence made Yang shut her mouth. She blinked and just stared at Minato as he stared back at her neutrally. She then chuckled. Albeit, it was a bit nervously. "Haha… thanks, Minato." Yang said in a tone unsure of how she should act at the moment. "You got me there." She continued on. "For a second I thought that was a confession of som-"

"I like you. Please go out with me."

Yang's expression matched Minato's when he first saw the surprise party they had thrown. Her eyebrows were shooting off of her face but her jaw was dropping hard onto the floor. Moving her mouth up and down, a strangled sound which was supposed to be her voice choked out. She was… speechless. Slowly tilting her head down, she made sure to keep her eyes glued to her own food to hide a small blush beginning to develop. Focusing on eating, she began to be a bit timid in her body language.

It was… surprising… shocking to be more specific! That kind of confession… just out of nowhere! Peeking upwards, she saw that Minato had already finished and was still staring at her. "What's with your reaction?" He asked her.

"W-well, how else am I supposed to react?!" Yang exclaimed, throwing her hands up into the air. "Here we are, just celebrating your birthday and then you just say that you like me out of the blue! Just… confessing is not a simple task! I mean, have you seen movies and TV shows?! Yet you just said that you want to go out with me like it's noth-!" She cut herself off mid-rant as she finally began to get a better look at Minato. "…Oh my god, you're blushing."

She was right. Minato still had his straight look. But what decorated his face were cheeks tinted a light pink as his head was turned away slightly. But Yang knew him for so long that this was his way so he was probably timid at the moment. "I will admit, I did say it like it was nothing." Minato confessed. "But the after affect were something I did not expect. Was there supposed to be a proper way?"

Yang sighed, groaning at the same time. She rubbed her face while not bothering to hide her blush anymore. "No, there isn't any really proper way. It's just… whatever." She sighed, looking down at her almost empty plate. She then looked back up a short bit after. "So…" She trailed off. "You really like me, huh?"

"Yes." He stated bluntly.

Yang took in a deep breath. "I mean… I do like you back. But… actually us dating? I never thought about it. Then again, I don't think I would have thought about it in the first place. But now…"

Minato continued to stare as the waiter placed the check between them. "So, will you go out with me?"

"Hey! Don't rush a girl when it comes down to a situation like this!" Yang pointed. She then began to reach into her pocket and pull out some Lien before dropping it and standing up. "This is a very important, delicate procedure that must be advanced with caution!"

"Caution is always the last thing on your mind." Minato stood up as well while the two of them began to walk out of the café.

…She really couldn't argue with that.

About a couple minutes of silence passed between the two of them. Stopping at a red light, they waited for the walk signal. Looking down, Yang saw their hands just dangling at their sides. Taking in a deep breath, she looked back straight forward again.

While they passed the street, she linked her hand with his.

Minato's head looked over towards the contact that they had before looking at the blonde who was smiling at him. The corners of Minato's mouth twitched in response as the two of them continued to walk back home.

Their home.

"So…" Yang started off as they were in the forest. "I guess this means that I'm like your big toe now that I'm your girlfriend." She watched Minato just glance at her out of the corner of his eye. "Because you're eventually going to bang me against all of the furniture in the house!"

Yang at least expected to gain Minato's full gaze while he would give her a look. But then that was not what happened.

What came next was something she did not expect at all.

Minato's leg wrapped around her own leg and she tripped. As Yang fell backwards, Minato's hand caught the back of her head. But rather than pull her back up, he kept her tilted backwards as Yang soon found her back leaning against the trunk of a tree. As Minato placed his forehead against her own, his hand trailed along her bare thigh.

"Why wait until were in the house when we could start right here?" He asked.

Her lilac eyes widened as his grey ones were so close to her. She shivered at his touch. His breath felt so warm against her skin. The hair tickled her. She could hear his heart beat. Their noses began to touch. She tried to look away, but she couldn't. Minato just looked so… hypnotic in the moonlight that shined above them. Yang couldn't help but feel… intoxicated by his gaze alone. She was waiting for him to proceed. Just waiting for him to caress her. Waiting for him to continue.

Minato then stood straight up and began to walk away, leaving Yang by herself. The blonde was absolutely dumbfounded at the action as the blue-haired boy continued to gain distance. "Hey! Wait a minute!" She began to run after him. He had just left her in when they were having a good mood! "You can't just leave me feeling like that without finishing the job!"

"Yes, I can. I did that just now."

Well, the balance has been put into motion BECAUSE MINYANG IS IN! Not exactly the greatest confession, but I suck at those things so I'm satisfied.

Now we can get a bit of a plot going! If you people don't mind a bit of spoilers, there will be a few of chapters before Beacon even happens. They are not filler… maybe. They actually will contribute to the plot. Yes, there will be a plot in this fic. I know, it's miracle. I've taken this slow enough, so ONWARDS WHEN THE NEXT CHAPTER APPEARS!

Warning: Things may turn into borderline M later perhaps. Be warned.

No flames please.
