Chapter 20: Ninelie (Cry Version) Aka Another day in Makoto's new Life dating the Girl who Ended the Planet.
This next chapter will try to take inspiration from Erethia's 'Infinity Route' so this "filler episode takes place in that AU. After Nanami's attempted dimension merging Junko/Naegi living together in a mansion after the Tragedy induced Hurricane storm... and about a month after Naegi gives his answer to Junko, the former SHSL Despair about pursuing a relationship with her.
Some would say living with your girlfriend or boyfriend will always have their ups and downs, perhaps they have anger issues that stem deep. Perhaps the fact that she's probably high spirited or not great with saving money. No matter what faults your relationship has, If there's genuine love placed into the relationship and real effort then living together will become an easy endeavor and in time will only strengthen your love for that man/woman.
For Makoto Naegi, the former Ultimate Hope and now General Secretary of the Alliance, this was a situation that would be...complicated considering his partner is the person responsible for all the Insanity inflicted in his life directly or indirectly,and the very being behind just about literally everyone's misery and the destruction of the Prime universe Hope's Peak Academy Hope's peak Academy and the Original Earth.
Naegi and Junko's Mansion - Bedroom: 2:49 AM
Junko starts stirring in her sleep, moving around in the bed left and right as if trying to get comfortable before slowly opening her eyes halfway before suddenly sitting up, getting out the bed. Makoto didn't stir much at the time
Can you believe she opened the window and jumps out of them in her sleep? she must've fallen three stories high and still remained asleep through the whole thing, snoozing like a baby? well she would've felt the pain of hard ground if it wasn't for the awning so conveniently placed at their backyard door and below their bedroom as Junko was falling.
Either by her near supernatural analysis predicting this or Makoto's luck she safely bounced off the awning like a makeshift trampoline and repeated with an open table umbrella she bounces off before rolling onto a long chair, only startled awake after her soft landing onto the outdoor patio furniture although it wasn't long before thinking to herself that she's having a dream before falling back asleep on their patio furniture until morning.
8:17 AM: Makoto and Junko's Mansion - Rooftop
*yawns* as the Former SHSL Fashion Girl partly open her eyes, rubbing them until she sees her "boyfriend's" or husband(?) weary face.
And here stood Makoto with a usual face of weariness she was already used to seeing on him, she doesn't really care most of the times but deep down, for once she would want Makoto to gain some understanding of her analytical abilities and why she do the things she does, to be fair to the egg-boy he is getting there but that frowning face of wear
"Good morning, Daaaarrrrling, and I assume you've rested soundly as well?" Junko says nonchalantly as if waking up on the rooftop of their own mansion was a regular part of her day.
You know your sleepwalking is just gonna take you further and further away from the house, I doubt I'll be able to keep finding you like this, even if you
Oh my sweet Makoto but where will my wildest dreams take me in the night my beloved? Perhaps I will stay around our homey mansion or find me snoozing on the couch like a lazy ol couch potato, or the other side of the city?
"With you It wouldn't be surprising if I found you sleeping on the skyscrapers or even in some ruined building in the Tragedy zone "
Or we might just find me butt naked on top of your ex emotionally cold Girlfriend Kyoko. Upupupu that would be a morning start wouldn't you agree? And before you give your lame, typical white knight "No way you
Makoto doesn't like the fact that the thought that's making him blush more than he should being influenced by his own darker thoughts and his girlfriend's (wife? still can't tell what she sees him as anymore) sadistic yet seducing charms.
"I'm pretty sure Kirigiri would actually kill you if that happens, you know she's probably the only one of three people on Earth who'll genuinely tolerate you."
"Oooohhh Yes, that Iron will of hers certainly holds up even now, I can give her that much appeal as the only other human being to match my despairing brainpower. She took out a pair of glasses from thin air and a clipboard before addressing."
But sadly my sleepwalking is just one of the few things even someone of my intelligence can't fully figure out. All that's really known about is simply it happens during my REM sleep or simply during the deepest sleep from said person, or in this case mademoiselle being me for this matter.
So it's just been a long rec curing problem since you used to be homeless? and I assume it's just as much ingrained in you as you were about Despair?
Nah, My love for Despair was found when my super long after the whole Somnambulism thing, as far as I care It's just a constant little entertaining side effect of being too godly smart for this insane species we call Humanity.
A weary sigh escapes from Makoto's mouth for the 4th time today, but it wasn't out of irritation (not much of it than before) but more out of accepting what Junko just convinces herself so highly on topics like this.
A Note
It's no surprise that this chapter is Inspired by Erethia's Infinity Route taking place after the Side: Trust arc and currently in Side: Recovery. This in no obvious way has any connection to the main story, just borrowing it's elements to make some harmless Sleepy Junko fun. Thanks for reading! Promise to have the next chapter out sooner than later.
Sorry It's on the short side for now. Come back in a few days and it'll expand. Thanks for reading what I got right now, your all the best!
