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

Minato felt like he was in a very similar situation at the moment.

He was sitting down at the table with Yang and Ruby just watching from the side. In front of him however, was an adult male. Judging by the blonde color of his hair, Minato assumed that he was Yang and Ruby's father.

The man's blonde hair had two small strands sticking out from the top and blue eyes. He had facial hair while consisted of a small patch and a small stubble along his jawline. On his right arm was a tattoo similar to a heart. The adult had brown cargo pants with a dark brown belt, black shoes, and a red bandana on his left arm, and brown leather vest over a tan dress shirt. Oddly, there was a metal spaulter, leather vambrace and a brown fingerless glove all on his right arm.

Yang meanwhile just watched as her dad, Tai, was staring at Minato while the blue-haired male was just staring back equally. But the boy her age was the first to break in a sense as he looked over towards her. "Don't look at me." She commented with a shrug of her shoulders.

Tai hummed, as if trying to remember something. "Wait…" He trailed off, grabbing attention. "Aren't you that kid who got suspended for destroying the nursing room at Signal?"

"…Yes." Minato nodded his head. He decided that it would probably be better to be truthful. Perhaps the worst thing was that the adult would say to stay away from his daughters. A shame that would never be able to happen since Yang would constantly try to find him then.

"Huh…. Neat. So you're that Minato kid" Tai stated, getting a look from Minato. Also from Yang. Apparently neat was not a word they thought, nor they expected. "Yang talked about you. So did Ruby. Qrow as well. But something I've been wondering. Your hair is really long, you know that?"

The blue-haired boy began to have some feeling similarities between Tai and Qrow were going to be revealed soon. While the time would approach, he mentally prepared himself. Already going from one topic to another within an instant was the indication. "I never thought that I needed a haircut."

"Never needed one, huh?" Tai asked, folding his arms. "Though that long hair kind of suits you. Kind of reminds me of myself when I was your age. But then I had folks around constantly forcing me to get haircuts. If it were up to my own decision, I would have my hair almost taking over the upper-half of my face like you're doing."

"…" Minato stayed silent for a bit. "…Okay."

"Dad," Yang started off, interrupting their conversation. Well, she wasn't sure if it would be considered a conversation or not. "Before you ask, he's not my boyfriend. Qrow already asked this and the answer still stands as so."

"Okay then…" Tai slowly said, looking over to Ruby afterwards.

"It's true." The younger sister nodded her head. "Minato's a really cool guy though. Uncle Qrow thinks so too. He's really tough as well. Taking a punch as a small inconvenience from Yang after someone ruins her hair is a feat almost unheard of."

All eyes darted over to Yang who sucked up a sharp intake of air. "Yeah…" She trailed off while looking at Minato who kept his grey-eyes towards her lilac ones. "Sorry about that… I just lose myself when something like that happens."

"Apology accepted." Minato stated, nodding his head. "Although I'm surprised that you haven't done anything to Ruby yet."

"…" Yang's eyes widened a bit as she turned her head over towards the younger sister. Ruby gulped nervously before the blonde looked back at Minato. "Did you… just hold a grudge?" She asked, receiving a shrug from the blue-haired boy. "Although, now that you mention it…"

"I'M SORRY!" Ruby cried out in terror as she bolted out of the kitchen and ran upstairs.

Yang was hot on her trail though, leaving the two males by themselves.

"NOOOO!"

"GET BACK HERE, RUBY! YOU'RE ONLY DELAYING THE INEVITABLE!"

"GAHHH! ALRIGHT, BRING IT ON!"

"AUGH! STOP PUNCHING MY CHEST, RUBY!"

"NEVER!"

Minato looked up at the clock in the kitchen as if he had just not heard a lot of yelling. "Almost dinner time." He said to himself as Tai looked over to where he was looking. "I should be heading off."

"Ah, no need to!" Tai stood up, walked around the table, and patted Minato on the shoulder. "You can stay with us for dinner." Already, the similarities had burst out. But then Tai's face bent forward with a face that looked extremely intimidating. Well, intimidating for most people. It just forced Minato to wear an odd look. "By the way, I won't let you have my daughters." He growled out.

"…What?" Minato's face took on another weird look.

Tai's face was right in front of Minato's. But as seconds passed, Tai snickered. That snicker soon turned into a laugh as his face lightened up a lot. "Oh, you should have seen the look on your face! I've always wanted to try and say that at least once in my life."

Yup, definitely like Qrow. "…" Minato opened his mouth, just trying to find the right words to use. "…I… see…"

"But yeah, you can stay for dinner." Tai waved hand after patting Minato's shoulder in a friendly manner. "Let me just see what's in the fridge. You okay with leftovers?" Without even waiting for Minato to answer, the adult began to rummage through the fridge. "We have… chicken, pork, beef, the remains of human and Faunus boys who previously friends with Yang and Ruby…" Looking over to Minato, Tai began laughing once more at his look.

Minato's face, despite it being straight, was almost twitching with a disarray of emotions. "Did you really have to say that?"

"I'm kidding! There haven't been any males besides me, Qrow, and Zwei for years!"

"…An odd thing to know." Minato stated.

"Yeah…" Tai sighed, closing the fridge door to turn around to Minato. "I heard from Qrow that Yang told you about her mom. While… you can guess what happened to Ruby's with a lack of grown-up females around the house. Although I think you already had a run in with Zwei before and got an idea of how I feel about other guys trying to become friends with my daughters."

Minato nodded his head. He indeed had an immediate idea of what he would be like when Zwei first bit his face and refused to let go. But then a small amount of time passed before he realized something. "You're not exactly acting very… protective with Ruby and Yang when I'm around."

Tai blinked before opening the fridge again before pulling out a few containers and putting them on the counter. "What are you talking about?" He asked curiously, popping a lid off before sniffing the contents of the container.

"From what I've heard, you don't like boys together with your girls." Minato bluntly stated, deciding just to go straight to the point. He was talking to an adult. As immature as Qrow was, the black-haired male at least had a good amount of common sense that was available when the times would arrive. At least assuming that Tai was the same if not at least a bit smarter. "But I've been with your daughter for four months, moving onto five next month. I would have thought you would have been pretty… well, not well-taken with me being with them."

Scrunching his face, the blonde adult only shook his head while putting the lid back on the container and put it in the fridge and did the same for the others soon. Tai then smiled with a friendly face. "What's wrong with the person my daughters have chosen to hang out with? Why would I hate you for that?" Walking towards the table, he took a seat in front of Minato once more. "I remember that you didn't really have friends until Yang started hanging out with you. Getting along with her and Ruby… Isn't that a very splendid thing?"

Minato looked at the fellow male before looking out of the window in thought.

Looking back, he was a person who was pretty much ripped from all that was essential to him without even his knowledge. He lived through a life where he was never accepted, and everyone saw him as a freak. Now that he thought about it, he didn't mind it either. Probably he had grown too used to it. Like the ticking of a clock, time changed but everything still remained the same.

But then… Yang came bumping into his life. Quite literally when they first met. After that, it was odd how she kept on coming towards him. Everyday when he thought it would be the usual silence, the blonde always broke the quiet atmosphere and replaced it with sound. As the days would pass, she would not be scared or intimidated by him. His gaze never fazed her. Not even his Semblance scared her off.

With all the time he was with her, he felt himself grow on the inside. Minato began to feel like…

Letting out a breath, he finally looked back at Tai who kept his gaze back at him. Minato simply nodded his head. "Yes," The blue haired male confirmed. "It is a very splendid thing."

Tai smiled. "See, what did I tell you?" A second of silence passed between them before he stood up once again. "Well, most of the stuff in the fridge has gone bad. So, we're going out to eat. Anything specific?" Before Minato could even speak though, Tai cut him off without knowledge. "Hang on, I'll let Yang and Ruby know." He looked up to the ceiling. "GIRLS! WE'RE GOING OUT OT EAT! MINATO'S PICKING THE PLACE THOUGH!"

Ruby shouted first. "PICK PHO, MINATO!"

"NO WAY, MAN! YOU SHOULD SAY RAMEN!" Yang called after.

"…" Minato raised his hands to massage his forehead. Taking in a deep breath, he thought long and hard about a food place they should eat at. He then remembered something he always wanted to try. Opening his eyes, he looked over to Tai. "Can we try sushi?" He asked.

Tai grinned while nodding. "HE SAID SUSHI!"

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

"HOW COULD YOU BETRAY US LIKE THAT?!"

Minato's sighed while holding a dull look.

Y13

"Ahh… That was still really good."

Yang let out a happy while stretching her arms. Ruby nodded her head in agreement while patting her stomach. "Well, it's good to see that you girls enjoyed yourselves. How about you, Minato?" Tai asked the blue-haired boy who was walking next to them.

"It was… nice." Minato said slowly, unsure of what to say. "…Both the food and company." He added in.

Just as he said those words, everyone stopped and stared at the other male of the group. All of them dawned a look of surprise on their faces. Yang was the first to break out of it, followed by Ruby, and then their father. They all shared the exact same look; a smile. "Yeah, it was really nice." Yang agreed.

Ruby was about to say something but then stopped when she noticed someone. "Oh, look, it's Uncle Qrow! Hi, Qrow!" Ruby made her statement before raising her hands up and waving them at the black-haired male who Minato had spoken to earlier that day.

Now that he thought about it, the conversation he had with Qrow was similar to Tai's.

How odd.

Said male was drinking from his flash when he turned his head and saw the four of them. "Oh, hey." Qrow nodded to them all before noticing that they were in the company of Tai. He then eyed the blue-haired boy as well. "I see you've met Minato."

"Yup, he's a great guy." Tai stated. "But, you've already met him so I think you already know that."

"Obviously." Qrow snorted.

Minato didn't know why, but then he decided to step back when he heard Qrow's tone. Apparently, Yang and Ruby both had the same idea as they too moved in the opposite direction of forward. Tai however stepped closer to Qrow. "What do you mean by that?"

Qrow shrugged. "Oh, you know, because I got to hang out with Minato more. We talked a fair amount so we both are pretty close."

Now it was Tai turn to snort. "You two close? If Minato were to be close between the two of us, it'd be me. After talking to him, I made it perfectly clear that he's welcome to my house anytime he wants. Not only that, we just came back from eating sushi."

"Yeah?" The black-haired male asked defiantly. "Well I was the first one to bring him fresh take-out."

"Take-out and dining in are two completely different things." Tai stated back. "The former being boring while the latter is at least nice with friends."

"His hair color is closer to mine."

"That's not even a reason for him to like you better!"

"Yes, it is!"

"Fine!" Tai threw his hands up. "Then let's ask Minato who he thinks is the better adult!"

"You both are morons." Minato said with a flat look.

"I have to agree with him at the moment." Yang nodded.

"Ditto." Ruby threw her own thoughts in.

"I met him first!" Qrow argued.

"Quality time over quantity!" Tai countered back.

Qrow immediately grabbed the blonde-adult by the collar of his shirt. "You want to go, Tai?!"

Tai grabbed the black-haired male on the same place he was being grabbed. "Bring it on, Qrow!"

The two adults soon began to break out into a fight in the middle of the street. While their roughhousing occurred, three spectators continued to witness the street brawl without even interfering. While Ruby was unsure of what to say next, Yang looked over to Minato. "You know that this is technically your fault, right?" She asked. "All because of there finally being a guy they can hang out with."

"Don't remind me." Minato groaned into his hands.

Well, Tai likes Minato as much as Qrow does. But Tai is a bit more reasonable with his liking. And of course, it led to an argument of who Minato likes more. Forced, but I felt like I needed to put it in.

Fun fact: This chapter was supposed be ending with Tai, Yang, Ruby, and Minato inside of a shopping mall. Not only that, but it was also supposed to introduce the beginning of Lovely Times (Persona/RWBY fanfic). But then I decided against it. Mainly because I refuse to use OCs and I don't want 5-person teams in this fic.

The next chapter… well…

No flames please.
