Sorry this fanfic took so long, I was playing Persona 5 New Game plus and it took me a while to get to Futaba's route and romance her as well as finding the name of Futaba's Uncle. Yes, I know I could have just as easily searched it up but where's the fun in that? Anyway, it's finally out, episode 3, I'll be working on Fanfics a little more often but forgive me if my ideas are cheesy or just in general not good. I'm still a novice at fanfic making so I'm doing my best, anyway, enjoy!

It had been three months since Bradley's freedom from his probation, and now he and Futaba were officially dating as Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Everything was official after they had their date at LeBlanc on Valentines Day.

One day Bradley decided to visit his girlfriend at Sojiro's house in Yongen-Jaya. During the train ride, he decided to read a magazine just like he used to during his train rides to Shujin Academy. The magazine that Bradley read reminded him of the directions to Odaiba Seaside Park.

"I'm sure Futaba will still like it there, there are other places we could go, but I don't have the money. This should do nicely," Bradley said to himself thinking, then he closed the magazine, put it away and eventually arrived at his stop.

Bradley got off the train with his luggage and headed into Yongen-Jaya. On his way he passed by one of his best friends, Ryuji a.k.a Skull, from when they formed the Phantom Thieves. He noticed Bradley and waved excitedly at him.

"Heeeeeeeeeey!" Ryuji ran over to him and put his arm around him. "Good to see you again dude!"

Thinking back to his probation year, Ryuji was the first friend he met on his first day of school, Bradley also remembered his first time learning about the cognitive world and what was happening at the school with Kamoshida. His code name was Skull due to the skull mask he had on his face in his Phantom Thief costume and his Persona was named Captain Kidd, just like the sailor.

Ryuji was the person in the group who would mostly act first, ask questions later. So for what he lacked in thinking...a lot of thinking considering he wasn't the brightest member in the group either, he made up in brute strength and instinct with his trusty Bludgeon and shotgun.

"Hey Ryuji, I missed you," Bradley smiled as he replied to him."

"Missed you too man. Hey, we should hang out! Whatcha up to?" Ryuji asked.

"I'm going to see Futaba but we can hang out later."

"I should have known as much, well I don't blame you, girlfriends are important and you gotta take care of them. I'm jealous of you man. When we were hanging out, we had all kinds of bad luck getting ladies and they would only want to date us as the Phantom Thieves. How do you do it? How do you get someone to like you that way?"

Bradley tilted his head to the side as he thought carefully about his response. He didn't want to use a cliche sentence like 'be yourself' because knowing Ryuji for a year, he can get a little overly confident with his dating technique.

Bradley finally finished thinking and then answered Ryuji's question. "Be a caring friend."

"Huh? Whaddya mean?" Ryuji replied, soundly clearly confused.

"Treat them as a friend for now and be there for her as company. Listen to her talk and give encouraging support. Stuff like that. It's how I helped Ann when she was feeling down about her modeling career."

"I guess that makes sense, thanks dude, I'll do my best. Well, text me later, k? I look forward to talking some more, just like the old times." Ryuji then patted Bradley on the back a couple of times before walking away.

"Later!" Ryuji called out as he dismissed Bradley with a wave.

Morgana, Bradley's pet cat and another one of his bestest friends, popped up from his everyday bag and delivered his statement on Bradley's discussion with Ryuji.

"That Ryuji, he's done a lot of crazy and stupid things in the past, but dating? Heh, good luck with that. Even as a Phantom Thief he couldn't get any girls."

Bradley looked at Morgana as he replied to him. "I believe in him, maybe he's changed."

"I hope so, I guess we'll find out later."

Later on, Bradley arrives at LeBlanc. He stared up at the sign for a little bit, remembering the memories he had there for the year he was on probation. It all started in that small attic room and now he was a free man. Not only did he earn his freedom, he earned himself a girlfriend. It was tough at first, dealing with Sojiro trying to accept the news. But eventually, thanks to Bradley's efforts in helping him deal with Futaba's abusive uncle Youji Isshiki, and everything else he has done for him, Sojiro accepted Bradley's and Futaba's relationship.

After thinking back on the past a little bit, Bradley entered LeBlanc and right away he is welcomed by Sojiro. "Welco-" Sojiro started to say before he noticed who walked in the door. He paused for a second and then changed his sentence. "Oh, it's you, good to see ya again kid." Sojiro smiled as he spoke. "How's life been? Causing no more trouble I hope."

Bradley shook his head a little as he replied, "No sir I haven't."

"Good good, sit down, I'll get you some coffee." Sojiro then began to work on the coffee machine. A few moments later he brought over a cup of coffee and handed it to Bradley. He then took the coffee and replied with a 'thank you' before he took a sip of the coffee. He smiled as he enjoyed the exquisite taste that he missed for so long. He then complimented Sojiro. "Thank you for the coffee, it's always been the best."

"I'm glad you still like it, anyway, I suppose that's not why you're here right? You wanna see Futaba as well I assume," Sojiro replied

"I came to see you as well," Bradley replied in reassurance.

"Well thank you, it's good to know you still care about me as well. After all I took care of you for a long time and you helped me out with a huge deal of problems."

"I could never forget about someone as important as you."

"Well thank you, I really appreciate it kid… I mean Bradley. You've changed. I can't keep calling you kid and you're a man now. I just hope that you'll still take good care of Futaba." Sojiro suddenly changed to a more serious tone. "If you hurt her it's not gonna end well for you."

"I understand, I'll do my best," Bradley replied. Sojiro's expression then relaxed and went back to normal.

"Good, I know there's a couple of customers around but they seem to be minding their own business, but let's keep that between us. Anyway I won't keep you here any longer. So you have permission to go see Futaba at my house for coming to talk to me, I'll cya later Bradley."

Bradley finished his coffee then he replied, "All right, thank you again for the coffee."

"You're welcome, have fun and be careful."

Bradley then got up, paid Sojiro for the coffee, left LeBlanc and started walking to Sojiro's house in anticipation to see Futaba again. As he walked, he recalled the memories of their time together. Futaba was a shut-in for a long time, ever since her mother's death, that is until she heard about the Phantom Thieves and how they change hearts. At first Futaba was doubtful, but after a thorough analysis she was so excited that with the courage she had gathered. Futaba got in contact with Bradley through her hacking skills and asked him to change her heart. She didn't know fully how the process worked in the cognitive world, but eventually with a little prying and convincing, they got into Futaba's palace and changed her heart. She then awakened to her Persona and thus Oracle had joined the team as their highly skilled navigator and hacker.

Bradley and Futaba had spent a lot of time together getting used to the outside world, completing her promise list and eventually becoming a couple. To this day Bradley still treasures those moments, he never forgets a single one of them. Bradley finally arrived at Sojiro's house and he knocked on the door.

A moment later heard Futaba's voice. "Be right there!"

Bradley waited for a few seconds until the door was open. As soon as Futaba looked out the door, her eyes widened in surprise as Bradley just smiled and waved with a simple, "Hello."

"Boyfriend!" Futaba said as she raised her arms in excitement then she threw herself at Bradley. She gave him a large hug as he quickly returned a hug back to her.

Bradley calmly replied in response. "Girlfriend It's good to see you again, how have you been?"

"I've been great! Thanks to you, I have the courage to go to high school at Shujin, and I'm having a great time. I'm so glad you became my key item."

"I'm happy to hear that," Bradley said as he looked down at her. "You look great in a uniform."

Futaba's cheeks reddened slightly at Bradley's comment. She closed her eyes briefly and looked away as a small smile formed on her face."Oh stop."

Morgana suddenly popped out of Bradley's bag again and jumped onto the ground, greeting Futaba. "Good to see you again Futaba."

"Morgana!" Futaba said excitedly as she squatted down to pinch his cheeks like she always did.

"Oww! Really?" Morgana exclaimed in response.

Futaba giggled before she stopped and petted him on the head "Sorry, I just missed you."

Morgana purred in response. "It's okay, I missed you too."

"You've also gotten taller," Bradley said, adding on to his compliment.

Futaba suddenly looked back at Bradley with enthusiasm. She then stood back up. "Yeah! I can get a better closer look at your face! Also it should be easier to kiss you, heh heh."

Bradley smirked as he bent down a little and kissed Futaba on her cheek, She blushed in surprise after Bradley's smart retaliation.

"Mmm! Dang it, you always know the way to my heart Bradley," Futaba replied in a slight jokingly frustration.

She had her eyes closed tightly as she blushed looking more cute than usual in Bradley's opinion. Then after a few short seconds she regained her composure and opened her eyes again. The blush was still easily seen on her cheeks, but then she stood up on her tiptoes and kissed Bradley on the lips. "Anyway, let's not stand idly out here, come on in!"

Bradley, Futaba, and Morgana went inside Sojiro's house. As they entered Futaba's room, the first thing Bradley noticed was the PC that they built together a while back. Bradley smiled at it, proud of the hard work that went into it. He then looked at Futaba, asking her a question. "The new PC is working out well for you?"

Futaba looked at him, processing the question. "Huh? Oh yeah! Yeah it's perfect and I deeply appreciate you helping me. It meant a LOT to me and I'm glad I was able to return the favor."

Bradley and Futaba sat down on her bed as she continued to talk. "Okay, before we do anything else, your Girlfriend requests something from you. I've missed you for so long that I demand love and care!"

Bradley chuckled as he moved closer to Futaba, hugging her and kissing her on the lips for a certain period of time as well as patting her on the head. The enjoyment of the comfort left Futaba blushing a deep red on her face.

Bradley finished kissing Futaba as she was left speechless, staring at him blankly. Concerned, Bradley asked if she was okay then Futaba shook her head composing herself.

"S-s-sorry, it's been quite a while since we've done something like that, I need to get a little used to it."

"You just kissed me a few seconds ago," Bradley replied questioning Futaba's statement.

"Y-Yeah but that was just a peck, plus I could barely reach you," Futaba replied.

Bradley chuckled. "Yeah, that's fair, I like that you're a bit short, makes you as cute as you've always been."

"Th...thank you," Futaba said, stumbling slightly over her words as she looked down still blushing.

"...Aaaaanyway, we need to get you settled in. Judging by that big suitcase you're gonna be here a while?"

Bradley nodded and replied by saying he will be staying one month.

Futaba's eyes widened in surprise. "For real? That's amazing! Heh heh heh, you're gonna love what I have planned!" She said as she added on deviously. "But for now, you gotta get settled in, why don't you go stay at the cafe. As long as you remember how to make coffee and curry you should be fine, right?"

"I sure hope so," Bradley replies.

Futaba got up and holds up her clenched fists excitedly. "Then let's go!" Futaba started pulling on Bradley's arm but wasn't able to move him an inch. "Come ooooooooooonnn!"

Bradley chuckled as he stood up. "All right, all right, I'm going."

Bradley and Futaba walked hand in hand to Leblanc while Morgana followed behind them. It was the afternoon, but there were no customers at the moment, making it the perfect time to talk to Sojiro. Bradley and Futaba entered LeBlanc as they were greeted by Sojiro. "Well hello, I hope you're still treating Futaba right."

Futaba hugged Bradley's arm as she replied. "Yes, he's fine. No need to worry so much Sojiro, this guy knows how to take care of me but I appreciate your concern."

Sojiro's anxiety eased a little. "Well that's good, I don't mean to worry to much I just don't want anything bad happening to you."

Morgana hopped up onto a stool. He tried to say hello to the chief but as always, Sojiro only heard meowing coming from him.

"Oh! The cat is here too, has he always been with you?"

Bradley thought about his response and replied. "We're basically best friends."

"Well I suppose that's one way of putting it. So what's up Bradley, you look like you wanna ask me something."

"Can I stay here?" Bradley asked.

Sojiro ended up asking another question instead of answering Bradley's. "Why is that?" It took Sojiro a few seconds to realize why by looking and Bradley, his suitcase and Futaba. "Oh...right. Well staying here ain't gonna be cheap you know. You remember how to make coffee and curry right?"

"Of course," Bradley replied.

Sojiro thought for a moment then spoke. "All right, how about this, you make a cup of coffee for me to try and make some curry for Futaba to try, then I'll consider letting you stay. I don't mean to get personal kid, but think of it as a test like in school, you can handle that, right?"

Bradley nodded as he replied. "Definitely."

"All right then, let's see what you can do."

Futaba enthusiastically pumped her clenched her fists. "You got this Boyfriend!"

Bradley set his suitcase aside and he got his usual green apron on from when he worked at Leblanc in the past. Remembering his experience in about 20 minutes, he prepared a hot cup of coffee and a plate of curry as he placed it on the counter. Futaba and Sojiro sat at their designated seats as the tasting test begun.

Sojiro took a sip of the coffee Bradley made and Futaba scooped up some rice mixed with the curry with her fork as she ate the big amount of food. They swallow almost in sync after careful tasting of the flavour.

"Delicious! That was Delicious! You still know mom's recipe! Just like Sojiro taught you!" Futaba exclaimed as she was the first to display results of Bradley's cooking. Sojiro then looked at Bradley thinking of what to say as he gives the result of Bradley's coffee while Futaba continues eating.

"Not bad kid, you still remember what I taught you. The flavor, acidity, grind of the bean and everything else I taught you. You've gotten pretty smart." Sojiro stood up as he continued to speak. "All right, you can stay. I shouldn't need to warn you not to cause trouble, after all, since the end of your probation, you've definitely changed."

Thinking back, the probation was falsely put on Bradley to begin with, but he just decided to reply to Sojiro's compliment by saying, "Thank you."

"You're welcome Bradley. Anyway, go on upstairs and get settled in."

Bradley took off the apron and put it away. Then he grabbed his suitcase and took it upstairs. Futaba finished eating the curry and joined Bradley, following him upstairs. Once he got upstairs and set his suitcase aside, he turned around to see Futaba charging at him jumping into his arms.

"Congratulatioooooons!" she yelled at him as he caught Futaba. A second later he pulled her into a hug.

Bradley looked at her, smiling as he replied. "Well someone's still more excited than usual."

"I'm just glad I get to spend time with you and I look forward to the plans that you and me have in mind."

Bradley and Futaba kissed each other on the lips. Then Bradley placed Futaba down and petted her head as she blushed and smiled.

"I need to get sorted here and clean this place up a little bit, do you mind if we continue this conversation another time?"

"Sure but...I don't wanna leave you...yet. I wanna help!" Futaba said, persistently wanting to spend more time with Bradley.

He nodded as he replied. "All right."

They begin cleaning the room by dusting the walls and floors and sorting out a few things onto shelves, then after about an hour, the room was looking much cleaner. Bradley and Futaba admired their work by looking around the room for a bit, then they high fived, celebrating their success.

Futaba turned to Bradley rubbing the back of her head. "So uhhh, sorry about what I said earlier. I just...missed you so much and I really wanted to spend time with you today so I hope you forgive me."

"Of course I do Futaba, I understand how you feel, I missed you too. I was really looking forward to being with you today."

"Thank you, so much, I love you Bradley."

"I love you too Futaba."

Bradley and Futaba had one more kiss together before Futaba left for the day. Before she left down the stairs she gave Bradley a peace sign and said, "Peace out!"

Later on that night, before Bradley got ready for bed, he opened his bag and let Morgana out.

"Well, that was quite the show, good job as always. You're just as knowledgeable as I remember." Morgana said in a complimenting statement. Bradley nods in agreement then gets ready for bed.

Bradley was excited for his month back in Yongen was going to be able to spend time with Futaba and his friends. He was curious about Futaba's plan that she wanted to do though., After a minute, Bradley shrugged knowing he would find out tomorrow and slowly drifted off to sleep.
