A/n- So this is the ever touchy subject when it comes to Kanji and Naoto. The way I see it, they were just meant for each other so they'd end up together no matter what they ended up being, but also a reminder to take things as they are sometimes. Just because something doesn't conform to your likes/experience doesn't mean it or the people who made it are bad.

The Commission Files- File #1228 Hypotheticals

Characters: Kanji (Persona 4), Naoto (Persona 4)

Based on: a commission by BugLewdy on Twitter

Kanji and Naoto had just gotten back from having a nice and romantic dinner together, but their night wasn't about to end just yet. They quickly moved into the bedroom of the apartment they shared and started peeling their clothes off, neither one of them wanting to have to deal with them before getting to the good part. Though as Naoto slipped off her last garment she found herself staring at the tall mirror on the other side of the room, looking at her body and how freeing it was that she was able to show her true self off to the people she cared about. But then her mind starting thinking about things and she started to zone out a bit until Kanji came up behind her and wondered what she was doing.

"Whatcha' looking at Nao?" He wondered as he slowly wrapped his arms around her body, putting his hands near her stomach. "I thought I was the one that was supposed to be mesmerized by how you look." Any other time Naoto would have chuckled at the joke, Kanji was quite funny as usual, but she was transfixed on her form and Kanji could tell after she didn't respond. "Something up? Do we need to talk about something?" He wondered.

"Do you mind?" Naoto asked. "I know we've been having a great night, but something just came into my mind and I feel like I need to clear it out before we continue. I'm sorry."

"Nah, don't be sorry." Kanji assured her. "If something is bothering you then I want to do all I can to make it go away, even if I might not know what's going on in that super computer brain of yours."

"Always so honest and forward, one of the many reasons I fell in love with you Kanji." Naoto commented. "But thank you, I appreciate your flexibility as always. Do you mind sitting on the bed with me so we can talk?"

"Of course, just uh, don't get too upset if I start staring again." Kanji replied with a slight blush. So the two of them sat on the edge of the bed, but Naoto didn't really know where to begin. What she was thinking about, it had to do with her Shadow from the past, some of the things it presented her, some of the things that might have happened if things went differently. And if those things did happen differently then it would have to do with Kanji's Shadow's thoughts as well. She didn't want to dredge up these memories of the past, but it was nagging at her and as a detective she had to know why. Eventually Kanji reached out and took a hold of her hand softly as an encouraging gesture as he looked her in the eyes. "You don't have to worry about what to say, just say it. If it's something uncomfortable then it's something uncomfortable. I'd rather you say it so we can talk it through than to keep it in and wonder what the outcome could have been."

"I'm sorry Kanji, but you're right, I think what I have to ask is very uncomfortable for the both of us." Naoto stated. "I don't want to upset you since today has been great."

"Nao, we're already naked and in bed with each other, there isn't much left to hide." Kanji countered. "It's not like I'm gonna storm out and wreck the place because of a single question. Maybe the old me would do that, but I think I've matured enough to handle touchy subjects, don't you?"

"Since when are you the logical one?" Naoto joked to buy just a bit more time to prepare.

"Ever since I've been hanging around you." Kanji answered. "Now just tell me what's on your mind already, or do I have to tickle it out of you? You know I know the spots."

"No, no, you don't have to go that far." Naoto replied before taking a deep breath to center herself again. "Alright, here goes. Hypothetically speaking, if I was a man, do you think that we would have still fallen in love and be where we are right now in our relationship?" As expected there was a long silence after the question was posed. Kanji now understood why Naoto was so concerned about asking the question that came to mind, and he had to take his time thinking of the answer he wanted to give. It took a bit but he finally came up with something he felt good about saying.

"Honestly, I don't think we'd be at this exact place in our relationship, but I think we'd still be in one." Kanji finally said. "I think it would have taken a bit longer for things to get going, with my issues surrounding my sexuality coming more to the forefront than they did, but I think we would have worked it out. The thing is Nao, while I may think your body is beautiful and love how all the curves and everything come together so well, I fell in love with what I saw on the inside of your body. So as long as we would spend enough time to get through both of our shells, I think we would still be together."

"That...actually makes a lot of sense." Naoto admitted, not thinking the answer would be so simple. "I knew I was just overthinking things as usual. I'm sorry again Kanji, I should have known better."

"Why are you apologizing?" Kanji asked simply. "Your curiosity about stuff is one of those inner things I like about you. Yeah, it's a bit of a touchy subject, but we're both adults now, we can handle things like that. I mean, would it make you feel better if I asked you a touchy question?"

"I mean, if you want to it's your right, but you don't have to." Naoto replied.

"And I don't want to." Kanji stated. "Hypotheticals can be interesting to think about sometimes, but you know me Nao, I love living in the here and now. And here and now I have the woman I love with me naked sitting on the edge of the bed we share, and I want to show her just how much I love her. How does that sound?"

"That sounds lovely Kanji, it truly does." Naoto replied softly, nuzzling up to Kanji's neck with her head before reaching down and starting to stroke his dick softly. It didn't take either of them that long to get back in the mood and sooner rather than later they were both ready to go. Kanji had an idea though.

"So, I was thinking about a new position we could try." He noted. "One where you lay on your back on the edge of the bed here with your legs up in the air while I stand on the floor holding them for control and leverage. What do you think?"

"Seems like it should work." Naoto commented. "I assume you'd eventually spread my legs out to get further in as it goes on?"

"That's what I was thinking, yeah." Kanji confirmed. "You up for it then?

"Best way to test a theory is to attempt it right?" Naoto teased as she laid down on her back, moved a bit up on the bed, and lifted her legs in the air. "Don't keep me waiting though, I can't keep these up by myself forever." She teased some more.

"You're the best Naoto, I know I say that a lot, but I mean it." Kanji replied with a big smile as he stood up from the bed and moved over to hold Naoto's legs in place. "Do you need me to use my fingers or anything before we start, or are you good to go?"

"I'm ready whenever you are Kanji." Naoto confirmed. So they started making love in the position that Kanji suggested. And it was going well for the most part. Kanji was able to put some more focus on Naoto's legs than usual which she appreciated and the position gave Kanji some new angles of entry to try and find some more sensitive spots in and out of her body. The trouble came when he started trying to spread her legs apart. Kanji didn't realize he was standing in a pile of their discarded clothes so when he tried to move around he accidentally tripped and started to fall forward. Luckily he stopped himself with his arms before he completely fell onto Naoto, and she leaned back a bit as well. But now Kanji was looming over her form, trying to steady himself.

"Gah! Sorry Nao, didn't realize where I was stepping." He exclaimed, though he still had his tip inside her body.

"Accidents happen all the time, this is no different." Naoto replied with a gentle smile. "But even if you did fall over completely, would that have been so bad?"

"Well, you raise a good point as always." Kanji teased. "I guess we'll have to practice that one again another time.

"Why do you say that? We can get back into position right?" Naoto wondered.

"We could, but now that we're this close, I kind of want to get closer and start kissing you all over." Kanji replied warmly.

"Now you're raising a good point." Naoto replied with a blush. "Well, what are you waiting for, come down here and kiss me then."

"Just waiting for the invitation." Kanji said smoothly before doing just that.

And the rest of the night went pretty well after that. Hypothetically there is a timeline where Kanji didn't trip and they enjoyed themselves that way, but they didn't think about it. They were young and in love, and sometimes you just have to throw hypotheticals out the window and enjoy yourself without letting them hold you back.
