This story started as a writing prompt given to me by a friend named Sammy. Her prompt inspired me to write this story based on Persona 3. Please note that this is taking place in a AU where Chidori and Junpei have never met and the Dark Hour doesn't exist. Though the characters do live in the same dorm just like in the game.


It was midnight, as he stood and waited. Holding a letter in his hand, someone had sent him a letter and a black rose telling him to be at this spot at midnight. An admirer? This was something he never got. He was usually alone and no one seemed to care for him. Who would though? He was obnoxious and childish and slept in class. He sighed and tipped his hat forward, ready to leave. This was stupid.

"Junpei?" A familiar voice came from behind him. He turned and his eyes widen.

"Minako? What are you doing here?" His leader was walking towards him, wearing a nice dress that he had never seen before.

"Meeting with you?" She smiled and stood in front of him. He felt his face flush red and she leaned in and embraced him. He didn't know what to do. This was strange, yeah she had been in his thoughts a lot. They spent a lot of time together but he didn't know if she felt the same. "Junpei." He looked down as her lips came into contact with his. His face was completely red now.

"M-minako..." He stuttered as she pulled away.

"Junpei I want to be with you." She smiled, her face equally as red. "Endlessly."

"B-but Akihiko-senpai..." He knew he had feelings for her, he wasn't going to make him angry that would be horrid! He would probably get punched in the face for sure! "I couldn't do that to him..."

She kissed him again, wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. He wanted to pull away but this was what he had wanted. He put his arms on her waist and kissed her back. He felt her smile. They broke the kiss and pulled back to look each other in the eyes.

"I...I love you Minako..." Junpei admitted. "You are my best friend...stay with me."

"Of course." She smiled. As they moved to kiss once again, there was a loud crack of thunder, shaking Junpei awake. He sat up in his bed, clutching his blanket. Looking out the window, he saw rain pouring down hard and could hear thunder.

"Shit." He bit his lip and threw one of his pillows hard against a wall. It was just a dream, just a goddamn dream! "Fuck."
