AceDetective: Yay! I'm back! Well, before I start, I have a favor to ask of you guys. I may be dropping Persona Facebook and My Persona Rules, as seen on my latest chapter on Persona Facebook. I haven't posted My Persona Rules' chapter yet, but I will soon. Each chapter will have two choices, and I would like to ask you to vote for which story should replace the current stories. Thanks in advance! I don't own P4, its characters, and Stay Stay Stay by Taylor Swift. I only own my self and my plot. Alright! Let's goooo!
Souji's POV
These past days, the only thing I've done was sit and stare at my wall, so I was pretty happy when I saw the note from Naoto. Is she finally going to tell me what's happening here?
...Time Skip...
Well, I'm here, at the library, looking like a fool. My back is against a wall, my arms are crossed. After a while, I saw Naoto looking around, looking for me. D'aww, she looked so cute! Wait what? Souji snap out of it!
"Over here!" I whispered. She turned to me and smiled sadly. I noticed she had a guitar case with her. That's when I took in the rest of her outfit. She was wearing denim skinny jeans, and an over sized blue and white striped shirt with a pocket. Her signature cap was placed firmly on her head.
"Follow me." She mumbled, leading me to a door. W-wait... This is the janitor's closet!? She flicked the light on. I looked around. It's pretty big, I even saw a piano.
"I'm sure you have your questions, but before that... I have something to do." She said as she took out her guitar, tuned it, and strapped it on. She played an intro to a song that seemed familiar to me.
"I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night
I threw my phone across the room at you
I was expecting some dramatic turn away but you stayed
This morning I said we should talk about it
Cause I read you should never leave a fight unresolved
That's when you came in wearing a football helmet
And said okay let's talk
And I said..."
The lyrics seemed pretty fitting to our situation. As she sang, she stared up at me, her checks grazed with a light pink.
"Stay stay stay I've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay"
She looked away, blushing. She walked closer a step or two, then stopped.
"Before you I only dated self indulgent takers who took all of their problems out on me
But you carry my groceries and now I'm always laughing
And I love you because you have given me no choice but to..."
She looked back at me and nodded. At the last line I joined in softly.
"Stay stay stay I've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay stay stay stay"
I walked over to her, then behind her. I placed my hands over hers, and helped her to play. Before the next lines, we played an instrumental.
"You took the time to memorize me my fears my hopes and dreams
I just like hanging out with you all the time
All those times that you didn't leave it's been occurring to me I would like to hang out with you for my whole life"
She looked up at me again, both of us still singing, but her voice still dominating.
"Stay and I'll be loving you for quite some time
No one else is gonna love me when I get mad mad mad
So I think that it's best if we both stay stay stay stay stay stay"
We started swaying, my voice getting louder.
"Stay stay stay I've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay stay stay stay stay stay"
I smiled at her, taking her right hand off the strings, replacing it with my own.
"Stay stay stay I've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay"
We looked at each other sincerely, and we both let out a soft, "I love you."
Naoto stuttered and walked away slowly.
I looked at her and smiled, "So, is it... Us, now?"
She blushed and nodded. We then stood there for what felt like an hour.
"So, I guess it's time for the explanation?" She asked after a while.
"Of course. I need to hear why you did that."
She started explaining everything, on how she, Chie, Yukiko, and Rise had wanted to get revenge on us, the popular kids, and show us how it felt to be second place. She told me everything, on how the band was formed, to them wearing fake outfits and contacts, to how they kept on continuing the band.
When she finished, I asked her, "So, now that I know about it, what are you going to do?"
She sighed, "I don't know. Maybe... I... I'd have to tell them about this. A-and maybe tell them we should 'reveal' ourselves."
"Why?"
"Because now that you know, what's the purpose?"
"Look, you don't have to."
"B-but-"
"No buts. You are going to stay disguised until the end. Alright?" I started to get a hint of annoyance in my voice.
"Hmph. Alright."
"Now there's an obedient Naoto-koi!"
"K-koi? What?!" She exclaimed, hitting me on the shoulder.
I laughed loudly. Oh boy, this is gonna be fun.
