As the morning sun came over the horizon and as the cold pleasant wind form the north came blowing through the world, little birds started to chirped in music that can make a frowning boy…nothing. He couldn't hear any of that. He was wearing headphones.
'Today, the weather is nice…Or I don't really care.'
And as the radiant light of the sun came shining through his house's tiny little window, giving him the sense of safety and a sense of warmth in this cold dark cruel world…Minato pulled the blinds.
….
'I hate the sun.' Sighing a short breath, Minato again focused his attention on his book. Being a Messiah and a God, he's been gifted with knowledge of unparalleled, strength of no limit and patience with no bounds, HE still has to do the homework.
And that's what he's doing now. In a small room with a little desk in the corner, Minato sat on a chair. Writing with a lazy look on his face as the loud music was blasting through his ears from his headphones.
Even though he's doing something one such as his station shouldn't be doing, he was at peace. This is the only normal thing in his overly weird world.
…That doesn't mean he enjoyed doing it though. But still he, nevertheless enjoyed the peace. *Bop*…*Bop*
….
Although there's two gremlin with him in this room.
"What'cha doing, Convict?" Caroline asked from the right with her head on his shoulders. His tiny bony shoulder.
"…Homework." After saying that, Minato turned up the volume and ignored the annoying twins.
….
"Why are you doing homework, Makoto-sama?" But Justine pulled out his headphones and asked from the left with her huge head on his tiny shoulder.
"…I'm doing this because…Shut uppp." Minato batted the little girl's hands and focused on his homework again.
….
'They still didn't get up from my shoulders!'
"Hey, Convict. Why are you just writing numbers?"
"It is, I think what humans called Math problems, Caroline."
"Ohhh, Math."
"Mn hmm."
….
….
"Hey convict. That is the worst fish I have seen anyone ever draw. Hahaha."
"No. I think it's a symbol one used when solving problems."
"Oh. So, It is a symbol. Not a fish."
"Yes. It is a symbol. Not a fish."
"Huh. Not a fish, I see."
"Yeah. Not a fish."
"Huh."
….
….
"Hey Convict, Did you change religion? Why are you drawing Chrono's Sign?"
"No. It is not the God Of time's mark. It is a symbol that stood for the meaning of Infinite."
"Ohh. So, It's another symbol."
Yes. It is a symbol."
"Huh. Not a fish, I see."
"Yeah. Not a fish."
"Huh."
….
….
"Hey, Convict. Why are you just writing numbers?"
"Okay. That's it. I've enough. I Have Enough!"
Minato dropped his pen down and turned to the annoying twins who suddenly ran to the back. "Why're you guys bothering me? Huh? What do you want? Isn't it enough that you draw on my face while I was slee-"
"TADAHHHHH!" Interrupting him, Caroline presented him some kind of blue box with chains patterns with bright wide smiles on the her and her sister's face.
….
….
Thus two minutes passed.
….
….
….
"Tadah what?"
"It's short for, Ahem…Ta da dah DAhhh!" Justine said in a elegant tone but with her physique and her red face, it fell short.
"…Hm?"
"Today is the Day of the Celebration of the Saint Valentine!" Caroline declared taking out her baton and throwing at his face…*Klang!* "Ba Pamm Ban Ban. Ba Pamm-"
Minato looked behind at the noise.
'Well, there goes my lamp.'
"Ba Pam Pam Ba Pamm Pam Ba Pam Pamm. BAA PAM-
"…?"
"Today is the time what mortals called Valentines day." Justine said from beside the…marching girl?
"Okay, First of all." Minato stopped Caroline by holding her head. "BA PAMP-", "It's not 'Valentinesss day'. It's 'Valentine'sss day'. And Second, Today's not even Valentine's day."
"Yes. It is."
"No, it's not."
"Yes. It is."
"No. It's not."
"Yes. It is."
"No, It's not."
"Yes. It is."
"No, it's not."
"Yes. It is."
"No, It's not."
"Yes It is."
"Okay. Two vs one. That's not fair. Justine, shut up. Yes, It is…" Minato looked up in puzzle. "…I mean No, it's not. Yeah, No it's not."
Minato folded his hands in thinking, leaning back on his chair. "I mean even factoring the timezone, Valentine's day is already passed. It's already 17 in some countries. And if you look at the chapter one, that took place in April. So, it stood to reason that it is either May or possibly late May now because we already finished Asmodeus palace and we finished the exam so-"
"Makoto-sama, You are standing too close to the Wall right now. Please come back."
"Oh. Sorry." Minato moved his chair back from the nearby wall. "Heh, My bad."
"Stop being a jerk for a moment. Here!" Caroline forcefully put the blue box on his hand. "Justine and I made this chocolate. It is 100% guaranteed delicious!"
"Yes. Indeed. One could say you could even die from the taste."
….
Minato glanced up from the box to Justine.
….
"Kinda don't like your tone. But okay." Minato opened the little box. "Ohhhh. Look at this. You guys made those look like…owl poops?"
"Bzzzt! Wrong." Caroline said with a smile completely missing the insult. "Those are little Hamsters!"
"Hamstersss!…" Minato looked at the chocolates hamsters? again. "I can't believe you insulted my Alpha."
"Makoto-sama, Here." Justine took one little…owl poop and, "Say 'Ahhhhh!'."
"No. Justine, Calm down." Minato took the chocolate? back from the girl's hand and put in back in the box.
"Is this not up to your taste, Makoto-sama?" Justine asked with a little pout.
"Well, You could say that." Minato closed the box. "While I do AM overjoyed and deeply…Moved by this gesture, I would have to refuse because I kinda have a, Ummm, Unnatural fear of chocolates."
"Unnatural fear of chocolates?" The twins asked in unison.
"The fear is natural. Of course." Minato felt a shudder came over through his whole being. "But the fact that I have that fear is unnatural. So it's unnatural fear of chocolates." Minato put the box back on the top of Caroline's hat.
"Bu-But-But I don't understand." Caroline took the box from above her hat. "We were told that every boys is happy to receive chocolates from cute girls like us!"
"Well, Maybe." With a sigh, Minato leaned back on his chair. "But Let's face it, you guys are not exactly cute and I'm not exactly a boy."
"What!?"
"Wait a minute though." Minato moved his head closer to the twins. "Who told you guys that mushy craps?"
"Mushy craps?" Justine asked with a tilt of her head.
"Yeah.…Was it Margaret?"
"No." Justine answered back.
"Oh, Come on. You guys talked to two people beside me and there's no way Theodore knows this."
"Welllllll." Caroline fidgeted around. "There's, Ummmmm, Her?"
"Her?" Minato thought to himself as the girl answered back. "Oh…OH! OH, Okay! There's her." Minato leaned back on his chair. "Hah. I kinda forgot about her."
….
….
"No, Wait. I didn't forget about her." Minato said in an annoyed voice. "There's no way she could've told you guys. I mean she's not even in the story yet. Hell, She and I haven't even met yet. How could she tell you guys this? We've still not even met that…That Art guy. It's still gonna be some time before she's even introduc-"
"Makoto-sama, you are near the wall again."
Minato looked at his back. "Oopps. Sorry. Did it Again. Hehheh." Minato moved his chair again which kinda got close to the wall because he leaned on it too much. "Hm, Where was I? Oh Right. Sorry but I can't eat those." Minato said in an apologetic tone or did he?
"Huhhhhhh." Caroline looked at the box with a pout. "But we made this especially for you."
"Sorry." Minato shrugged. "But still why don't you guys gave those to Theodore?"
"Theo?" Justine asked.
"Yeah. I am not the only guy here, you know. He will be sad if you guys don't give him anything. Don't take this away from him. He had less scenes than Akira's grandpa already. Aheheh." Minato said with a laugh. "…That goatee guy is Akira's grandpa, Right?"
"But Makoto-sama, you don't have to worry about that. We already gave Theo his own batch."
"…Huh." Minato asked as Justine told him.
"Yeah. He's sleeping over there because he ate a lot."
Minato looked at where Justine's pointing to see-*Menace Menace!*
….
…Some kind of pasty white thing with black liquid dripping down from it's mouth looking at him with it's black lifeless eyes. *Drip…Drip*
Minato looked at the little pool of liquid under that thing and he saw some kind of writing on the nearby wall.
"DONTEAI"
….
….
'Don…Teai?' No, Wait. It didn't finish writing. The last one doesn't look like 'I' but a 'T'.
….
'Don…Teat? Dont…eat?'
….
….
Minato looked at the twins in front of him. *Blink, Blink*
The twin also looked back at him. *Blink, Blink*
"Is that…Theodore?"
"Yeah." Caroline shrugged. "He said he is not feeling well after eating our chocolates so he's gonna lie down for a moment. But I guess he fell asleep."
"Yes." Justine nodded from beside. "But look at his peaceful face." Justine said with a smile. "Look, even his saliva is dripping down. He must be dreaming of eating our chocolates again."
"…Oh."
"So, why don't you eat some, convict?" Caroline turned towards him with a wide smile. "I am sure that even your stupid fear cannot withstand our chocolate taste."
"Makoto-sama, Say "AHHHHHH."."
….
….
Minato slowly moved his chair to the wall…and loudly banged on it over and over.
"MARGARET!?"
We will not be doing any valentine scenes in memory of the passing of A man, A person, A brother…And a good friend…
….
….
….
….
Margaret looked up from her compendium as she heard a loud noise. She listened for a while but she didn't hear it after first time.
"Hmmm, Must be my imagination."
-Fin-
"Wait, this is my only scene!?"
-x-FIN-x-
A joke chapter for the valentine's day. Don't worry. Another chapter will come. Not sure when though.
Some of the things here will be explained later. Like Minato's first line or his fear of chocolates etc, etc. And I don't think I need to tell you why Caroline and Justine made Hamsters chocolates.
And Thank you guys. You guys are the best. I was kinda worried that you guys don't like the dialogues. But it really made me happy that you guys like it. So, It's okay if I skip some of the story scenes? You guys know the P5 story so, It's okay right? Believe it or not, there are some leftover scenes I scrapped because the chapter was too long or it didn't fit the tone.
And I like to say not to read too much on Minato's talkings. He's an idiot. There's no foreshadowing. HAHA.
And if you like 4th wall breaking then good for you. And if you don't like it, no worries. It will not be in the story.
(Look! My first author note without me saying sorry!)
