SPOILERS FOR PERSONA 4

This story is placed after the team saves Rise and then enters another place called "The Void." If you do not want spoilers, i suggest not reading this, however if you don't care, well go right ahead! XD

Enjoy you guys XD

also note that i included bits of dialog between Souji and Yosuke from the game. The parts are from when you hang out with Yosuke on rank 8 and 9 of his arcane. However i did change up the dialog just a bit of course :P

"Maann, The Void was tough, but saving Rise was probably the worst of them all!" Yosuke groaned, stretching his arms about his head as the group sat at their usual table at Junes.

"Hey! It isn't my fault you guys were too weak!" Rise said, crossing her arms."

"I don't think it was because we were weak, but because your Shadow self was able to read our attacks. Lucky Teddie stepped in." Yukiko said, brushing her fingers through her black hair. Rise just pouted and looked over at Souji, the groups leader. "What do you think Senpai? I am right aren't I?"

Souji looked thoughtful for a minute. "While your shadow self was difficult, we should have leveled up a bit more, I think."

Yosuke groaned. "Awww man, don't agree with her!" Rise clapped her hands. "Thank you Senpai!"

"I liked the club! The music was nice, and it wasn't so hot and steamy like in the bathhouse!" Teddie chirped, flapping his arms and gleaming. Kanji blushed and looked away. The group laughed and chatted for a while more before everyone said goodbye. As Souji was walking home, someone touched his shoulder, he turned around and faced his brunette friend. "Hey, Souji." Yosuke said, rubbing the back of his neck, as if nervous.

"What is it Yosuke?"

"I was wondering.. uh.. would you like to hang out tomorrow?" Yosuke said, almost sheepishly. Souji smiled "Of course! I have no plans tomorrow."

"Great!" Yosuke beamed. "See you tomorrow!" He said as he waved and ran towards the direction of his home; setting his headphones on his ears as he did so. Souji just smiled and continued home.

After helping Nanako with her homework, Souji bid her goodnight and headed to bed. After the fight in The Void, the group was happy to be able to rest since the killer was caught. Stretching his sore limbs, Souji climbed under his comfy warm covers and drifted to sleep.

Souji woke up to his phone ringing and nearly fell out of his bed to grab it. Standing up and rubbing his eyes, Souji flipped open his phone. "Hello?" He answered. "Hey Souji, it's Yosuke. Do you want to meet up at Junes?"

Souji perked up a bit at his voice and smiled. "Sure."

"Great! Let's meet up after Lunch ok? See you soon!" Yosuke said cheerfully before he hung up. Souji stretched and then went to his closet to find some clothes.

20 minutes later, Souji met up with Yosuke, who grinned at him. "Hey! Follow me." He tugged at Souji before rushing off. Souji laughed and tailed him quickly. A few minutes later both boys were bent over gasping for air as they stood in Samegawa Riverbed. Yosuke stayed quiet for a few minutes, before pulling a sticker out of his pocket and showing it to Souji.

"... I found this. It's a Print Club sticker I took with Saki-senpai..." The atmosphere in the air quickly changed. "When I first got here, she insisted on taking it. Back then... somewhere inside me, I thought I was above this place. I mean come on, a lot of people saw me as the enemy, because Junes was going to ruin the shopping district..." Yosuke looked down and Souji felt his heart tighten at the sight.

"Even if she never really liked me, everything she said meant a lot to me. It was because of her that I actually didn't mind being in this town. Losing her... it really killed me inside.." Yosuke started to sob, tears trickling down his cheeks. He clenched his hands into fists as he sobbed almost silently. "Why... why did she... have to... die...?"

Souji started to speak up, but Yosuke kept going. "She should have been able to live, to grow up and have a life.. She meant a lot to me... I felt like I would breakdown and never be the same.. but..."

"But?" Souji asked quietly.

"When we started fighting the shadows, and saving the others, I felt like my life had a purpose. I thought I could forget Senpai was gone, and the fact that I was such a loser. I lost myself in the case... i'm sorry Saki.. i'm sorry Souji."

"Don't apologize." Souji said quickly.

"But... I got you involved with the case and all I did was run away from myself..." Yosuke looked up and made eye contact with Souji, his eyes red as tears dribbled down his chin. "I think.. I think I can be stronger.. as long as I have my friends.. and you..." Yosuke smiled a bit and rubbed at his eyes. "I think i'm all cried out..."

Yosuke started to speak up again, before sudden arms wrapped around his waist and held him against a warm body. "You will always have me, I will never leave you." Souji said softly, hugging him tightly. Yosuke blushed. "You dumbass... That's for girls..." Yosuke said, but didn't try to move away. He could smell Souji's scent as itwrapped around him, encasing it in the safety of Souji's arms. Both boys stayed in this position for a while, listening to the sound of birds chirping nearby and their soft breaths against eachother's ears, before finally stepping away. "T-Thanks man.." Yosuke said, blushing as he rubbed at the back of his neck. "It means a lot that you would listen to me."

Souji smiled. "Of course." Yosuke shoved the sticker back in his pocket and smiled sheepishly. "Let's go somewhere else, this place is bumming me out."

Souji laughed at this and followed Yosuke as they left the Riverbed.

30 minutes later, both boys arrived out of breath yet again, on top of a large hill overlooking the town. The Sun was just starting to set, making for a beautiful scene. Yosuke leaned against the small brown fence as he looked at the town. "I never thought I would like this town that much.. but I have a lot of people now that are special to me." Yosuke said, smiling. Souji moved next to him and looked towards the town too.

"And well... you're special to me too, ya know?" Yosuke said, a blush creeping on his face as he rubbed his nose. Souji smiled and looked at him. "You are special to me too Yosuke." Yosuke blushed even more. "Aww man you are making this all awkward now!"

Souji laughed. "You started it!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"I'll get you for that!" Yosuke said. A second later both boys were on the ground, fighting each other. They laughed as they threw punches and arm restled, rolling on the soft grass. Arms and legs tangled together, both boys rolled around a few times before Yosuke lay on his back and Souji over him, hands placed in the grass next to Yosuke's head.

Both were breathing hard and laughing. "Ohhh man I haven't had this much fun in forever!" Yosuke laughed. Souji chuckled and looked down at him. Both boy's breath slowed down before Souji realized their position. "Oops, sorry about that," Souji chuckled, starting to move off Yosuke. All the sudden a pair of warm arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him down.

He started to protest, before he heard Yosuke sniffing. "Are... Are you crying?" Souji asked softly.

"Can we... just stay like this for a minute." Yosuke choked out. Clearly since the fighting was over, thoughts of Saki had come back to Yosuke and it was tormenting him. Souji closed his eyes and slid his hands between Yosuke's waist and the soft grass as both boys hugged quietly.

"I'm really glad you are here Souji.." Yosuke whispered. His soft breath against Souji's ear shot shivers down Souji's spine. He just nodded to Yosuke's response. The urge to suddenly kiss Yosuke shot through Souji's mind, before he quickly shook it out. He is my friend! I can't kiss him! Souji corrected himself mentally.

Souji couldn't blame the thought that crossed his mind though; he had never kissed anyone, nor been close to anyone like this before. Souji never considered himself gay or straight; he just figured he would come to find the person he would love in time, regardless of gender. Now here he was, chest to chest, with his partner Yosuke. He could feel the butterflies inside him swarming, and the urge to kiss his friend appeared again.

"We.. We should probably head back before it gets dark.." Souji choked out, feeling himself grow excited and knowing that a second more would be disasterous.

"Just a little longer." Came Yosuke's muffled response. Souji sighed. "Yosuke.. if I stay like this any longer, I can't promise nothing will happen."

Yosuke froze, before moving his head from Souji's shoulder and looking at him. "W-What do you mean?"

"I am a boy.. and I don't want anything between us to change.." Souji said, looking away as he tried to move off Yosuke, only the boy kept a death grip around his neck. Souji had a slight blush on his face as he glanced down at Yosuke, who had a big blush on his face. "Come on Yosuke, let me go." Souji chuckled, trying to play it off.

Suddenly he felt himself pulled back down and soft lips touched his. His eyes widened and he felt his heart stop for a split second. Yosuke was kissing him. Yosuke's kiss were timid, feathery, and light against Souji's, but it was so clear that the whole scenerio burned in Souji's mind. After a minute, Yosuke moved his head slightly and released his hold on Souji's neck. His face was read as he fumbled for words.

"I-I'm sorry.. I just.. I don't know what came over me.. I... I'll never do that aga-" Souji bent down and kissed him deeply, silencing his friend. A muffled squeak came out of Yosuke before he relaxed into the kiss. Souji pressed his tongue against Yosuke's lips, requesting access, which was quickly given. Souji pushed his warm digit into Yosuke's wet cavern as the boys got more and more heated in the kiss. Souji's mind clouded as he used one hand to push Yosuke's shirt up. The cold air hit Yosuke's nipples, causing him to rip his lips from Souji's as he gasped. "C-cold!" Souji blinked at this, before sitting back and bursting into laughter.

"That ain't funny!" Yosuke hissed, shoving Souji off of him, who yelped and fell on his back, flailing limbs and all. Yosuke laughed at the scene, before Souji sat up and brushed a few old leaves out of his hair. After a moment, they quieted down, listening to the crickets. After a moment Souji stood up and cleared his throat. "We should head home."

He leaned down and offered his hand to Yosuke, who gladly accepted. Souji pulled him up, and Yosuke moved forward and pressed himself against Souji. Souji stood surprised, but didn't move. "You.. you mean a lot to me Souji.. I... I like you a lot."

"You like me?" Souji asked quietly. Yosuke lifted his head and smiled shyly. "I do." The wind blew the boy's soft brown hair across his face, and Souji felt his heart leap in his chest at the sight. Without thinking, Souji placed one hand under Yosuke's chin, forcing him to keep looking at him, as his other hand slipped around Yosuke's waist. "I like you too." Souji said, his voice shaking only slightly. Yosuke blushed, before closing his eyes softly, giving Souji permission to kiss him again.

The moonlight glowed softly on the two as they shared a gentle, loving kiss. Souji could feel Yosuke shaking a bit before he slipped out of Souji's hold and landed on his knees. "I.. I'm sorry.. I got so nervous I can't feel my legs." Yosuke chuckled nervously. Souji laughed and helped him back up. "No need to be nervous, I will always be here to catch you." He said, nuzzling Yosuke's neck.

Yosuke laughed and shoved his head away. "Hey! I don't need a prince charming to save me! I ain't a princess."

"Well you are my princess." Souji said softly. Yosuke blushed and hit Souji's shoulder. "S-Shut up! I am not your princess either!" Yosuke turned and walked a bit down the hill before turning. "You coming?"

Souji plastered a pout on his face as he walked towards Yosuke, earning a "Don't give me that crap!" From his friends. Both boys manage to keep the atmosphere from turning awkward as they cracked jokes and told stories until they reached Yosuke's house. "Well.. I guess I will see you later huh?" Yosuke said, rubbing the back of his head.

Souji could tell he was nervous, and quickly reached out and grabbed both of his hands in his own. "Can we hang out tomorrow too?" He asked hopefully. Yosuke blushed as Souji's warm hands squeezed his own. "I-I guess.. bye" Yosuke said quickly, slipping his hands out of Souji's and entering his house.

Souji stood there for a minute before turning and walking home.

Darn.. and I wanted to kiss him again too... Souji reached up and tentatively touched his lips. He could still feel the heat that Yosuke's lips left there, and felt the heat flow through his whole body. He never felt this way with anyone before, not even Rise, who was very clear about showing her feelings for him. He liked Rise, but he didn't feel anything for her like he does for Yosuke.

Arriving at home, Dojima was sitting at the table reading a newspaper before looking up. "You are late. What kept you out so long?" He asked gruffly. "I was hanging out with Yosuke." Souji responded. Dojima nodded and returned his eyes to his paper. "Just try not to be out too late next time." "Alright. Goodnight." Souji said, turning and going up the stairs to his small bedroom.

Settling under the covers, Souji looked up at the ceiling and sighed. His heart was still racing, and he yearned to be able to touch Yosuke again. Souji rolled on his side as he slowly drifted to sleep.

Tomorrow can't come fast enough.
