You can see people's personalities through their phones. This one is inspiration I got when hanging out with friends. I also want to know if anyone can pin point the reference to another story in here (That's not mine).

Silent time was one of those rituals that Rise figured that existed but no idea how she could handle it. Every Sunday without fail, if both residence were in the apartment at the same time, the house would descended into silence for a couple hours as the read or did a hobby that required no noise. It was surreal to see them switch into this mode almost subconsciously.
It will always start the same way. Naoto will come in after a the weekly round up with the estate, open up the book she's been keeping around with her and swing her feet on to the sofa and read silently.
At first Rise couldn't handle silent time, she ended up too restless and at times had Souji, Naoto or both cuddling her to keep her quiet. However now she always brought some headphones with a bunch of manga she's always wanted to read and joined in. However something distracted her from today's session. Comfortably sitting on the floor against the sofa, she noticed this throughout the day when Naoto would answer and text on her phone. The other detail that slipped her since they've started doing this is the small kotatsu table was normally the place where all of their phones sat during this time.
Her focus snapped to it when she heard three of the five phones vibrate. From what she could tell on her screen, it was a Line message from someone else in the Investigation team group chat they had. Naoto and Souji ignored it entirely, but this gave Rise a moment to observe their devices.
There was five mobiles that collected on the table in a small pile with Naoto and Rise having two respectively with the other lone device being Souji's. Just then she noticed how much personality each device had. Two of them were the exactly the same mobile device in different colours, one pink, one blue. They were Naoto and Rise's work phones. They were painfully simple flip phones, with no attachments or decoration. While Rise's one had the 'Risette' logo as the wall paper, Naoto's one was the stock image, the same one that came with the device by default.
Inwardly she shrugged, she knew those phones were professional use only. It's better they kept nothing on those considering both of their work. It's also the phone they will see most in public too.
Her eyes then turned to Naoto's smart phone curiously. Of the three smart devices, the sleuth's one was looks the least exciting from its outward appearance. The large screen covered the front with a plain black back plate. Still giving her discreet and simple lifestyle as an inspiration to her everyday items. However while her phone charm was small it was significant. The small charm had in hiragana ăŞăxăă encased in a small heart. Rise figured that's their small pet names for each other that they must use super rarely since she's never heard them call each other that before. On the side of the heart, if she focused enough on it, in English it said 'My Radiant Affection'. The text on it almost made her blush knowing that it's only that small and in English to stop people from reading it.
From what she's seen of the background, it was a picture of her and Souji, with the former leader cuddling her from behind. She made fun of her about that once. But she then found out that she had a picture of Souji sleeping as her wallpaper lock screen came off. It was cute, but almost made her ponder if she actually watches him in his sleep. Considering from what she herself has experienced, Souji is up and out of bed before either of them can even consider seeing the morning sunshine.
Perched between both her and Naoto's mobile was the former leader and her current crush. It was a typical smart phone but this time it has a small picture of a Gundam on the blue back case, under the camera. This combined with his numerous phone charms including one that looks strongly like his Totsuka Blade he once brandished and a revolver which she assumed representing his long term girlfriend. The other one was a small star given to him by Nanako that she once made in Design class in school. The idol smiled warmly at that, no matter where he was or how far apart they were, he would still be her Big Brother.
Like the odd opposites they were however the lock screen just had a picture of Naoto looking out over the town of Yasoinaba from the hill they used to run to for time alone. She scoffed knowing she used to try and look for him back at high school and she heard from residence of the town that they were there all along.
"You ok there Rise?" Souji asked, his eyes fixed on her with curiosity and...
...Concern?
"No I'm fine. I'm just day dreaming." She said lightly. The former leader gave her another look over, not entirely convinced but went back to his book with no further question.
She didn't realised she made that much noise.
Anyway, from what she knows about the wallpaper behind the lock screen was the picture of him and Naoto kissing that she snapped of them not too recently. Considering time alone was really private, it was rare anyone got to see them this way. She mostly took it cause Souji really wanted one of them like that. Naoto wasn't really one for public displays of affection so this was the best compromise. However she did keep a copy of the file for herself for later blackmailing attempts on the sleuth.
The last one was hers, the muted pink of the phone base but with a slightly smaller screen than the other two. On the back had various small sticker photo of the time the investigation team has gone out with some from the recent trip to a Puri Cura booth that they went to a few weeks back. Her phone charms were multiple hearts and microphones from stores on her travels. One of them was a small frame of a picture of Naoto, Souji and herself. That was her most prized possession.
Her wall paper was the picture of the team at a dinner where she tried to take a selfie, but in the end Kanji had to do it. It was great seeing everyone together again then, and it's the set of friends she would always do anything for. But thinking about what's behind the lock screen, her face heated up at the innocent yet telling picture of the three in the picture booth machine. Any passerby would think nothing of it but Naoto and Souji planting a kiss on each cheek of Rise having a shocked expression was something that always reminded her of their time together. If anyone knew what was going on between them, will cause more than a few raised eye brows of interest.
"You sure you're ok?" She heard Souji's voice. She turned to look at him, suddenly jolted out of her thoughts.
"Hmm why?"
"Your face is red."
Figured.
Rise turned to the sleuth to look if she's aware of the situation and saw that her concentration hadn't moved from her book.
All Rise could do is smile in amusement at her thinking, and changed her expression to radiate more warmth.
She turned to the former leader. "I just remembered why I like you two so much."
The declaration made the other two in the room blush heavily with Souji looking away in embarrassment.
"I-I see. Fair enough." She grinned knowing she made her former Senpai uncomfortable. She let out a small yelp as she felt an affectionate ruffle through her hair, quickly noting it's Naoto's delicate fingers.
It may not be normal, but the Idol couldn't be any happier.
