Sunday Morning (with you)

(A Shinjimina drabble)

Fandom: Persona 3 Character(s): Shinjiro Aragaki, Male Persona 3 Protagonist, Koromaru Ship: Shinjimina Word count:675 Support on AO3

It was late morning on a Sunday when Minato finally stumbled out of his room, alive to the rest of the world. Normally during the rest of the week Minato was up bright and early, his day jampacked with activities, so Sunday was the one day he could laze about and sleep in (and he still felt like it wasn’t enough time for him to sleep, considering all he had to do and the Dark Hour happening every night).

Everyone else in the dorm were real “go-getters” which meant that left Minato all alone without all the early risers-

“Coo, coo~ Who’s a good Koro-boy? Are you a good Koro-boy? Yes you are! Aww!”

-Except for moments like these.

Minato held in a laugh and quickly ducked behind the wall, not wanting to get caught. Carefully peeking his head out, Minato saw Shinjiro on his hands and knees, playing around on the ground like a dog with Koromaru.

Minato bit his lip, trying so hard not to make any noise while watching the two of them play, not wanting to face getting caught and being at the brunt of Shinjiro’s wrath.

“Korooooo…… I’m gonna getcha! Bah!” Shinjiro pounced on Koromaru and Koromaru yelped in excitement before jumping away, prancing in a circle around Shinjiro and daring him to try and get him. Shinjiro laughed happily and his eyes followed Koro as he danced around, then they suddenly went wide, and Minato knew he’d been caught.

Shinjiro couldn’t say anything, he just started coughing in shock and Minato couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore. It started as a giggle, then became a snicker, before it was a full on cackle-gut-buster, and Shinjiro’s face burned in embarrassment. Koro simply sat and watched, tongue dangling out of his mouth as he panted happily and his eyes switched between the two of them.

Shinjiro got off the floor, looking at Koro like this was his fault and he'd get him for this later. “Hahaha, laugh it up Minato...”

Minato wiped tears from his eyes, clutching his stomach. “Y-you’re so cute SHinjiro-senpa-hahahaha!”

Shinjiro’s face burned even more and he pulled his beanie down to hide his face.

Minato, trying and failing to contain his laughter, swooped in and wrapped his arms around Shinji and held his middle tight, resting his chin on his shoulder and laughing into it every so often.

“Aww, Shinji-senpai, stop being so cute. I can’t take it.”

Shinjiro sighed and ripped his beanie off, mussing up his hair and looking at Minato with a pouty glare that the second year decided not to comment that looking like that only made him cuter.

“Why is it that whenever you overhear me it’s always me saying some dumb, embarrassing shit?”

Minato smiled. “Because you’re cute and I’m sneaky.”

Shinjiro made a face. “Well, at least one of those is true…”

Minato pecked Shinjiro’s cheek with a kiss. “They’re both true, and you know you’re even cuter to me when you pout.”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever…” Shinjiro tried to wave Minato off and Minato just smiled because he knew Shinjiro was just trying to hide how happy he was, shy about his emotions as always.

Relenting his teasing, Minato let go of Shinji and stood, offering his hand. “C’mon, I’m sure Koro still wants to play. Let’s do it together, senpai.”

Shinjiro grinned and took Minato’s hand, allowing himself to be pulled up, and when he was on his feet he sneaked a quick kiss on Minato’s lips, laughing into his mouth when he made a surprised squeak.

“You’re not the only one who’s sneaky, Minato.”

Minato felt a competitive spark ignite in him and a devious smirk took over his face. “Oh, it’s on, Aragaki.”

“Right back at ya, Arisato.”

Shinjiro growled playfully and lifted Minato up and Minato yelped and laughed and Koromaru yapped loudly and chased them and together they played on the lazy, pleasant Sunday, and later they were found by the rest of the dorm in a cuddle pile on the couch, all played out.

You showed me human compassion, now I’m your problem

I’ve been working on this puppy for a WHILE, and I hope you enjoy! I had to rewrite it too, which was a bit of a slog bc I can only write at 3 am lol.

The night sky was always a sight for Minato Arisato to see. Looking into the endless sea of dark blues and purples with the glittering sparks of light decorating the swirling colors had a tendency to calm him, even when seen through a net of branches that partially obscured the fat, silver disk called the moon. Yet, he couldn't drink in the quiet splendor of the darkness that night. He couldn't spare a glance to the sky when he had to keep a close eye on the vague lumps of shadows that were the forests nighttime shrubbery. Especially not when his attention was already torn between searching the shadows for monsters, and keeping his ears open for any unnatural noises from within the flora. Yet, his careful crawl through the woods was suddenly put to a halt when all of the soft, constant chirp and call of insects and night animals abruptly fell silent. Leaving the blue-haired shadow hunter with nothing but his own breathing as a soundtrack. It made Minato's hackles raise more the longer he stood there. However, when he listened closer to the minimal night sounds, the shadow hunter found that he could hear something other than himself in the woods. It sounded like something was digging through the fallen leaves a distance away. Something that would've flown under the radar if he hadn't walked into such a mute patch of eerie atmosphere.           "Junpei? Yukari?" He whispered, scanning over the thick shadows for any signs of his friends, or even an explanation for the odd sounds while he slowly stealthed towards the source of it. Yet, when he got closer to the edge of the small slice of clearing that the weird...bird? Noises came from, the only answer he got was the noises suddenly going silent. Seeing as there weren't any people standing in the oasis of silver light, it wasn't his friends, that was clear. So, he pulled out the specialized gun he used to hunt Shadows and stepped into the clearing with each sense stretched to the maximum. Yet, he also didn't find any monsters waiting to leap out of the shadows and rip his face off. The only thing he found was a wriggling patch of leaves and tall grass. Which, closer inspection revealed was a monster, but one only big enough to be thoroughly tangled in a patch of thorny vines that grew in a webbed carpet on the ground. It wasn't much bigger than a few month old kitten. With ebony hair that had been pushed back by the wind, smooth black skin stretched over an emaciated frame that had patches of glittering black feathers, two sets of equally ink-colored wings, and the hind legs of a bird with the arms of a very starved human.              "Uh, are you...stuck?" Minato asked, tilting his head at the little creature, who jumped and only now seemed to register the hunter standing over him. Staring up at him with bottomless black pits for eyes before revealing rows of little teeth in too big of a mouth when he snarled and hissed at him. Which, only made the blue-haired man roll his eyes. "Fine, stay stuck." With that, he turned on his heel to leave, but paused when the small creature squawked and screamed until he looked back at him blandly, "Are you going to snarl and snap at me then?" The response he got was a quiet growl, but the creature also stopped thrashing and showing Minato his teeth. That time, when Minato knelt down, the shadow didn't bristle or fight him. Allowing the man to carefully untangle his thin body from the thorns with little more than a suspicious eyeing.             "I think I need to cut some of these away. Don't squirm, okay?" Minato said after he couldn't tug them away, and the little creature growled, but didn't freak out when the shadow hunter pulled out a pocket knife and began slicing through the stubborn flora. Once he'd finally gotten the creature's boney limbs free, and the vines out of his irridescent feathers, the blue-haired boy stood up and walked to the far side of the clearing before he put the critter down,           "whatever you did to get like that? Don't do it again. I'm only letting you go because I don't have the energy to kill you, other shadow hunters won't be as kind." He warned while the shadow shook itself off and began picking out any remaining thorns. When Minato stood back up, though, he suddenly raised his head to stare up at him. Which, instantly made the midnight-haired boy tense. Yet, after a long moment of staring at one another in the eerie, impossible silence of the night, the hunter realized that the shadow...wasn't going to attack him. He just sat there and looked up at him until the hunter shook his head and turned to leave. And after that, the midnight-haired hunter's patrol was nowhere near as interesting as that one run-in. So, he simply headed towards the large dormitory his group called home, and, the further he got from the little shadow he'd saved, the more natural noises returned to the woodland. Well, that's still unnerving. He thought as he followed a quiet dirt path, still keeping his senses on high alert just in case, but also taking the time to drink in the sleepy peace of the late hour. And, judging by the sounds he could hear coming up behind him, his co-workers must have also finished their patrols. In one easy movement, Minato sidestepped Junpei's attempt to jumpscare him.            "Man! How the fuck do you always know when I'm sneaking up on you?" The brunette whined, grumpily picking his hat up off of the dirt path and making sure the hairpin he had in it wasn't damaged or dusty. "I'm going to succeed one day, though. Just you wait." He warned while he walked with the shaggy haired boy,           "Why do you even want to jump on me that badly?" That made Junpei shrug and say,            "Partially because you won't let me, and also because I wanna see if you'll give me a piggy-back ride." as if it were absolutely normal for a tall man like him to jump on a smaller person. Which, Minato was about to point out when something slammed into his back like a bowling ball launched through a baseball gun. Naturally, the force of it knocked with wind out of the midnight-haired boy, but even through his gasping and wheezing, he could hear Junpei cursing and felt the creature dig sharp talons into his shirt.              "Dude, hold still! It's small, I'll just stab it." Junpei suddenly assured, which swiftly brought Minato's breath back.             "What?! Don't you dare stab me, Iori!" Thankfully, the sudden outburst briefly kept the brunette from plunging his dagger into the squirming mass clawing into Minato and tearing up his back and shirt.               "But, a monster is trying to maul you! I'm killing it!" The taller hunter declared, but the shorter male insisted,              "Don't!" And, as he spoke, the small creature's boney hands reached his shoulder and the emaciated bird monster crawled from his back to his chest. Trilling up at him from behind a snow-colored, dark-eyed mask with a thin grin as if he hadn't just torn into his back.             "Minato, what the hell is that thing doing?" The brunette asked, eyeing the monster and still prepared to attack if need-be. But, all the cat-sized shadow did was flutter his wings and ignore the hostile hunter in favor of pressing his cheek against Minato affectionately.          "I...don't know," The blue-haired man admitted, "but, I don't think he's hostile. He's not attacking me, and he didn't attack you." That made the taller male pause, thinking that fact over while watching the shadow coo and trill. Later on, Minato might wonder where it got a mask it's size, but for now, he simply sighed and tried to loosen the monster's hold on his now-tattered shirt. It took a moment, but Junpei did eventually sigh and lower his blade,             "Okay, I'll admit that he's not hostile right now. But, what do you plan to do with it?" he asked, and the midnight-haired hunter just shrugged. Trying to put the oddly friendly creature on the ground, or send him off like you would a bird, but all the little creature did was flap its wings and launch itself back up to the boy's shirt. Giving a trill and a few clicks as if scolding him for trying to get rid of it, so he simply shook his head and gave up.           "I guess I'll have to ask Mitsuru what to do." he decided, which got a similarly at-a-loss sigh. Granted, they could've tried to chase the little monster off, but neither wanted to risk either making the shadow turn hostile or continue to linger and draw in some bigger, more aggressive shadow. So, they simply let him stay and continued down the path to the dormitory for the night.

The Space Between - Official Post

So... the reveals for the Rare Male Slash Exchange (RMSE) finally happened today, so here I am sharing the three fics I wrote for it!

All three fics are in my Masterpost and my Mizuka's Odyssey series!

So... I wrote for Dracula, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Persona 3! [links go to AO3 - all three fics are rated M and have 1000 words]

This fic is particularly special, because my assignment was none other than my friend, Bleep (@bleepbloopbotz)! We share quite a few fandoms and ships, including Megaten! I've always been a fan of the Shin Megami Tensei mainline series, along with Persona 3 and 4... and with Persona 3 Portable, the female MC, and the slew of male romantic interests and social links, this was a perfect match!

Title: The Space Between

Fandom: Persona 3

Ship: Arisato Minato/Sanada Akihiko, Minato & Minako

Rating: Mature

Category: M/M

Word Count: 1000 words

Summary: Minato follows his connection with Akihiko through space.

Persona romance routes are all pretty bad but damn they really hit rock bottom with p3p femc route like the misogyny is very blatant and it’s almost hilarious like look at the Shinjiro romance. When you do his social link he’s like very clearly respectful of Kotone as a leader and explicitly says stuff like "oh yeah you’re clearly the best fighter we have, I don’t really know much about fighting like you do, I hope I’m not dragging you down, you’re doing a good job as leader just remember to take care of yourself, everyone looks up to you I know you can rely on them" etc. like he has faith in her leading abilities. But then when you romance him he’s like got dialogue like "bwah bluh i gotta look after you because you’re a GIRL and you need to stick by me, a big strong MAN so you don’t get hurt" and "don’t wear that revealing outfit in front of other guys 👺" and it’s like. Does he respect her or not and also like it doesn’t make sense for him to look down on her for being a girl cuz he literally has never not been led by a girl leader during his time in sees and Mitsuru in particular really has her shit together when it comes to being responsible and a good fighter and she’s always known the most about Tartarus

It’s also like. Idk maybe its just me I’m not a girl so FUCK IF I KNOW but to me the appeal of romancing Shinji is the fact that he’s sweet and sensitive and gentle and has respect for you despite the fact that he acts all scary. That’s like, what made me like this character in the first place. But the writers seem to think what women want is for a BIG STRONG MAN to protect them because they are just DELICATE WOMEN who are inferior in every way it’s like. Shut upppp thanks

#persona #persona 3 #shinjiro aragaki #this is soooooooo obviously not the only romance route that sucks in this game yall know which one im referring to 🤨 #and i actually tend to think of the shinji romance as the best one in the series cuz at least his confession scene is the only unique one #that really highlights who he is as a character and goes with the story #but ughh just idk its so annoying how the writers cant decide if hes sexist or not its really weird and its like #really shows how poorly the writers think of women playing their game its like all the romance options are trash and then your boyfriend is #sexist to you and its so clearly done in a way thats supposed to be romantic which is. ew #like idk if my partner was like talking about how i need to stay close to them because im a weak girl and they are strong man #especially when im literally the leader of the team and have been doing perfectly fine thus far and am clearly the strongest here #id simply run him over with a bulldozer #and its like this will all the guys in this game its like girl shut up and eat glass #meanwhile when youre a male protagonist your gf will kiss your ass to the point its infuriating #and their character arcs can never be too grand cuz then they might not wanna fuck you if they realize they have worth #uh sorry my brain is all over the place basically i hate persona romances lol and i hate how they wrote shinji in his #like dammit i dont want him cuz hes gonna protect me like a man i want him cuz he isnt great at fighting and prefers cooking and puppy dogs #and has respect for me and trusts my judgement and asks me to talk about my life and interests and smiles sweetly #but god forbid a woman in this series be respected i guess

[magicmalcolm]

Oh, God, I forgot the Male!MC in Persona 3 has to romance all his female Social Links once progressed far enough. 😞

#there are many pros and cons to each protagonist in P3P #female!MC doesn't have to date all her male friends #although the fact the game gives you the option to date Ken is still a bit skeevy #persona 3 #p3p #persona 3 fes #persona 3 portable #p3 protagonist #social links #social link go...?

‘Fan of Au’ huh? Well if you Insist. RedRiding p3 au

How do the Persona react to the ‘Pretty Bird’?

How often does Ryoji set his courting goals onto Orpheus when Mint isn’t responding?

So, now seems like a p good time to remind yall that I have not touched the persona 3 game. I know my knowledge from google, my honeybee, and the movies alone. So, if these personas have personalities, don't come for me, I deadass only knew three of them by name without google lololol

Hermes

Hermes is a pretty laid back persona, much like his creator, but he's also pretty efficient with his work. So, having a shadow just...vibing around would be annoying at first, but he'd get used to it. So long as he's not a threat, Hermes is fine.

Io

Io is much like Yukari. She has some raging trust issues, and is a little hot tempered. So, having Ryoji around makes her uncomfortable, but she's pretty quick to adjust. It's the shit like him running around, screaming for attention or food, or being creepy that would eat at her whenever they meet.

Penthesilea

As a persona meant more for recon than fighting, Penthesilea fucking HATES Ryoji with a passion. Mitsuru doesn't mind him, feeling he's more like a cat or a puppy. Cute, but slightly annoying. Her persona though, is not a fan. She's aware of how much of a threat Ryoji is, after all, so they don't get along.

Juno

Juno is like Penthesilea, she doesn't like Ryoji. She's a very aware persona, so his threat level makes her hostile. Which is, yet again, a difference from Fuuka's personal opinions. where Fuuka rather likes Ryoji because he's cute and harmless, and will eat her cooking, but her persona is guarded and distrustful of him.

Nemesis

So long as Ken likes Ryoji and is unharmed, Nemesis doesn't mind the little shadow. She keeps an eye the little creature, but otherwise is unphased by him being around. Ken likes him pretty well and maybe even wants his own pet shadow.

Castor

Castor met Ryoji exactly once and proceeded to try and stomp him into a bloody puddle. For the sake of Shinji and Minato not getting into fisticuffs, and Castor not nearly getting bitten in half a second time. They are never put together again, and when Castor does make the odd appearance on emergency missions, Ryoji is kept firmly under Minato's arm in his 'snow suit'.

Ceasar

Admittedly, Ceasar couldn't care less about Ryoji being around. So long as the shadow isn't being hostile and doesn't give him a reason, he won't go looking for a fight. While Akihiko might be a tad lacking in strategy, Ceasar does try to think ahead. And mauling a shadow he has seen take on Castor without breaking a sweat is just, not a good use of his energy.

Orpheus

Orpheus is...conflicted about the little shadow, much like his wielder. On one hand, the little bird creature is darkly cute, so he's very fond of him. But, he's also shown a human level of comprehension and an aggressive desire to have his user as a 'mate'. So, while he does care for the creature, he's also weirdly flattered at his affections and is admittedly more attached than he normally is. Yet, those opinions do waver a bit whenever Ryoji goes out on a mission with the group and starts puffing up or bringing him food to try and court the persona. Orpheus doesn't know what to do about that, and isn't sure what that means, if anything.
