Syo Kurusu (Repeat)

December — Upbeat Dance

Last month, to convince Kaoru-kun to return home, Syo-kun and I pretended to be dating, but…

… I guess something about doing that has made me feel strangely self-conscious, and I've been unable to look Syo-kun in the eye ever since. 

I'm aware that it was just for show, of course, but… still… 

I thought he was about to kiss me… While that left quite an impression, I ended up realizing that if it was Syo-kun, I would probably be fine with that…

I can't help remembering that moment every time our eyes meet. 

I thought that I would stop feeling so flustered after a few days, but… it still hasn't stopped. 

I can talk to him, and it hasn't stopped us from working together normally… or so I hope, but then again I should probably be making eye contact when I speak to him. 

Syo Kurusu: Um, so… Haruka. About this month's—

Haruka Nanami: Y-yes! W-what is it?

Ack! I get so startled that I squeak a bit when I answer him. 

Syo Kurusu: Ah… well… Y'know what, never mind....

Haruka Nanami: …

Ren Jinguji: Hey, Icchi. What do you think that was...? 

Tokiya Ichinose: … What do you mean, "that"?

Ren Jinguji: Is it just me, or have things between the Lady and Shorty been a bit awkward lately? 

Tokiya Ichinose: I agree that there's been something strange between those two lately. You do realize that it isn't something we should involve ourselves in though, don't you?

Ren Jinguji: You're so cold. You won't get many fans that way. 

Tokiya Ichinose: I apologize if I seem cold. As their friend, I am concerned about both of them.  

Ren Jinguji: Then don't you think we should do something about it? As their friends? 

Tokiya Ichinose: … I truly think this is a situation in which outsiders shouldn't interfere. If we get mixed up in it, we may only complicate things further. 

Ren Jinguji: There is that, but it depends on how we handle it…

Tokiya Ichinose: … What are you getting at? 

Ren Jinguji: Heh. You just sit back and enjoy the show. 

Tokiya Ichinose: You're such a pain.

Syo Kurusu: Uh so! About the Christmas dance…

Haruka Nanami: ??? The Christmas dance…? 

Syo Kurusu: Yeah, I was wondering if you wanted to…

As Syo-kun is speaking, Jinguji-san comes over, slipping right next to me and putting an arm around my shoulders. 

Ren Jinguji: Yo, Lady. Have you chosen your partner for the Christmas dance? 

Haruka Nanami: … It's a dance party…? 

That's right, Syo-kun was about to say something about dancing…

Ren Jinguji: Yeah, it's the Christmas event. Male and female students pair off for ballroom dancing. 

Haruka Nanami: Um… I… I've never done that kind of dancing, so… Um… I don't really think I can…

Ren Jinguji: Oh, really? In that case, let me show you. 

Saying this, Jinguji-san wraps an arm around my torso. 

Haruka Nanami: U-um…

Ren Jinguji: Your hand goes here. 

Haruka Nanami: Eh… uh, okay…

As instructed, I place my hand on Jinguji-san's shoulder. 

Ren Jinguji: Bring your body closer… Close enough that you could bury your face into my chest…

He pulls me firmly towards himself.

Haruka Nanami: Ah, you know… actually…

Ren Jinguji: That's it. Just keep your eyes on me, Lady. 

Syo Kurusu: Gaaahh!! Let go of her, you womanizer!!

Syo-kun gets between me and Jinguji-san and pulls us forcibly apart. 

Syo Kurusu: You!! 

Haruka Nanami: Yes, sir!! 

Syo Kurusu: Don't give him an opening like that! Or actually, from now on, don't go near him ever again!! 

Ren Jinguji: Hmph. So that's what you're going with? What right do you have over her? It's not like you're her boyfriend or anything.

Syo Kurusu: Shut up! This has nothing to do with you!

Haruka Nanami: Syo…kun?

Syo Kurusu: I just don't like it when I see somebody all over you.

Ren Jinguji: You're being a jealous child. How about you be a man and tell her that you like her?

Syo Kurusu: Shut up! That's not… what I mean… Don't lump me in with you!

Syo Kurusu: Romance isn't the only meaningful connection between people! 

Syo Kurusu: Stop making this all about dating! She's…

Syo Kurusu: She's my one and only, irreplaceable partner. There's no one who could ever take her place!

Syo Kurusu: I care for her. I will protect her with my own two hands.

Syo Kurusu: That's why I don't want her to get close to people like you. Got it?

Haruka Nanami: Syo-kun… I also care about you.

Select the Phrase!

パートナーだと思ってます。 I think of him as a partner. (+10 Love +5 Music)

Syo Kurusu: Haruka… you think so, too?

Haruka Nanami: Yes! You're my valuable partner. No one can ever replace you.

Syo Kurusu: I see… Sorry for yelling earlier.

Haruka Nanami: No, it's fine…

Syo Kurusu: I don't hate Ren, but I know how many girls he's made cry…

Syo Kurusu: I don't ever want you to cry…

Ren Jinguji: Wow, that’s harsh. I’m an ally to every woman. That’s why I can’t settle on just one.

Ren Jinguji: I just think the little lady is very cute. I would never steal her away from her knight and make her cry.

Syo Kurusu: If that's what you really think, then be careful about how to approach her! You're going to make her freak out! Sheesh…

Ren Jinguji: I felt like messing with you because it's so frustrating to watch you two. Why not just be honest with yourselves…

Syo Kurusu: What are you spouting off about…

Haruka Nanami: ???

Ren Jinguji: I see, you two still don't understand, do you? Well, take your time. I'll be watching from the sidelines.

大切な��だと思ってます。I care for him. (+20 Love +0 Music)

Haruka Nanami: You are my idol who is dearer to me than anyone else.

Haruka Nanami: I want to do my very best with you from now on.

Ren Jinguji: I see, you two feel the same way about each other.

Haruka Nanami: ???

Ren Jinguji:  It's fine. Taking it easy has its own appeal.

友達だと思ってます。I think of him as a friend. (+0 Love +0 Music)

Haruka Nanami: Um… so… He's not my boyfriend, or anything. I just like him as a friend…

Ren Jinguji: A friend… That's a convenient excuse. Oh well, that's fine, I guess…

Later that day after school…

We enter the recording room and start practicing, but for some reason, I still feel awkward around him.

We stare at our music sheets without uttering a word for some time…

Syo Kurusu: Um…

Syo-kun opens his mouth abruptly.

Syo Kurusu: So about the dance party that Ren was talking about this morning…

Haruka Nanami: Yes?

Syo Kurusu: Well… do you have anyone to dance with?

Haruka Nanami: Huh? Ah… um… I… am very bad at dancing… I think I'd just cause trouble…

Syo Kurusu: You can just practice!

Haruka Nanami: Yes, I know, but…

Syo Kurusu: Then… how about I dance with you?

Haruka Nanami: What…?

Syo Kurusu: I'm… your partner, after all… Also, it's a prince's duty to look after his servants.

Syo Kurusu: I'll teach you how to dance, so… um… don't dance with anyone else…

Syo-kun… Could it be that he had been trying to invite me this morning?

Haruka Nanami: Yes, sir. I will do my very best.

I bow my head in a humble manner.

Syo Kurusu: Great! I'm a strict teacher, so get ready to break a sweat!

His words are stern, but he grins from ear to ear.

Select the Phrase!

はいっ！Yes, sir!  (+5 Love +5 Music)

Syo Kurusu: Alright! Better keep up!

優しくしてください。Please be gentle with me. (+20 Love +0 Music)

Syo Kurusu: G-Gentle?! What are you saying…

Syo-kun's eyes shift nervously. Maybe trying to teach gently is difficult? But…

Haruka Nanami: In any rate, I know nothing because I've never done this before… I would like you to teach me step one…

Syo Kurusu: From step one? Gently…?

Syo-kun looks like he's thinking very hard about something.

Haruka Nanami: Yes… That's why… I would like you to teach me the beginner course!

Syo Kurusu: Course…? Okay, I'll do my best to teach you.

Haruka Nanami: Thank you!

厳しくお願いします。Please be strict with me. (+5 Love +5 Music)

Haruka Nanami: I don't want to cause you trouble during the actual dance, so please be as tough on me as possible!

Syo Kurusu: Of course! That's what I was planning from the start! I would expect nothing less from my servant. You've got guts!

Haruka Nanami: Yes, sir!

Syo Kurusu: First, I'll teach you waltz. You know the tempo of a waltz, right?

Haruka Nanami: Uhh…

Select the Phrase!

2拍子です。2/4 timing. (+0 Love +0 Music)

Syo Kurusu: You silly. Waltz is ¾ timing.

Haruka Nanami: Ah… I see…

3拍子です。¾ timing. (+0 Love +10 Music)

Syo Kurusu: Yes! It's ¾ timing! Great job!

He rubs my head.

When he praises me, I get so happy and feel like I want to try even harder.

4拍子です。4/4 timing. (+0 Love +0 Music)

Syo Kurusu: You dummy. Waltz is ¾ timing. That's obvious!

Haruka Nanami: Ah… Is that so…

Syo Kurusu: Sheesh. Your grades may be good, but you’re lacking in other places.

Haruka Nanami: I'm sorry.

Syo Kurusu: I'll show you the proper way of doing it first. Try to do the same after watching me.

He starts doing the steps in front of me.

Syo Kurusu: You have to make clean steps. First, you step from your heel, and gracefully lower your foot starting from your ankle…

Ah… he's so cool!

Syo-kun is short but has good posture, so even when he is just walking, his movements are very precise and beautiful.

Haruka Nanami: So, like this…?

I try to move the way he taught me.

But something's off. He made it look so easy, but when I do it, it's completely different.

Syo Kurusu: You're exerting yourself too much. The tips of your toes are also facing outwards. Loosen up a bit.

Syo Kurusu: One, two, three. One, two, three. Like this!

Syo-kun stands right by my side and teaches me by placing his hands on me.

Haruka Nanami: Umm… One, two, three. One, two, three.

Syo Kurusu: Yes, like that! You can do it if you try! And… when we're dancing, don't think of us as prince and servant, but as prince and princess.

Haruka Nanami: Me, a princess…?

Syo Kurusu: That's right. Princes dance with princesses. I've never heard of a prince dancing with his servants.

Syo Kurusu: So since you're my princess right now, you better dance gracefully like one!

Haruka Nanami: Yes, my prince!

I… I'm a princess… I need to do my best!

Syo Kurusu: Okay, we're going to dance together now. Here…

Haruka Nanami: ...Okay.

He holds his hand out to me. When I place my hand on his, he pulls me to him.

Syo Kurusu: Hey… Grip my hand properly.

Haruka Nanami: Y-Yes…

Syo Kurusu: Also… if you don't get close enough to me, you won't be able to read my dance cues.

Haruka Nanami: L-like this…?

I step closer to him and press my belly against his.

Syo Kurusu: Yeah… but you have to get even closer… Yes, you have to be this close.

Haruka Nanami: Um…

Select the Phrase!

ドキドキします。My heart's pounding. (+20 Love +5 Music)

Syo Kurusu: Wha?! What are you talking about… Your heart's pounding?

Haruka Nanami: Can it be that you're feeling the same way, too?

Syo Kurusu: Huh? Ah… No! I've never felt that way in my life! Ever!

He blushes bright red and stammers. I hear his heart throbbing from our chests that are pressed against each other.

ちょっと恥ずかしいね。This is a little embarrassing. (+15 Love +5 Music)

Syo Kurusu: D-don't say that. This is just practice, so… there's nothing to feel embarrassed about…

Syo Kurusu: …

Haruka Nanami: …

I become self-aware and my face flushes.

顔・・・近いね・・・ Our faces are so close… (+5 Love +5 Music)

Since our heights are similar, our faces have ended up very close to each other's.

Syo Kurusu: Y-you idiot! Don't say that! Ahh, geez!

Bright red, his steps become a little uneven.

Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

My heartbeat and his heartbeat start accelerating. 

Syo Kurusu: Hey, Haruka… Look up. Don't look down…

Haruka Nanami: O-Okay…

The moment we make eye contact, my heart makes a loud thump.

Without missing a step, our faces go beet red and our hands heat up…

Syo Kurusu: Ugh… ah… Haa… haa… ha…

Haruka Nanami: Syo-kun…?

Syo Kurusu: I'm fine. Don't look at me like that. I can keep going. I want to dance with you a little more.

He pulls me in by my waist even tighter.

Syo Kurusu: You… can relax more… Leave it all to me.

Haruka Nanami: O-Okay!

Ah… It's so easy to dance. Syo-kun is leading me so I can dance easily.

He has a good sense of rhythm. Every move he makes is sharp and unique to him.

Instead of forcing it out, he adjusts to his surroundings and knows when to make the right move.

He's still trying to accommodate me, but he brings out his best moves when he can.

I don’t think he does this consciously; this comes naturally to him.

I can feel this is Syo-kun's unique rhythm.

This is a chance for me to take inspiration from this feeling and put it in song.

I feel like I can make a song that can really accentuate his charm…

I want to feel more of him… his beat…

Syo Kurusu: Yeah… I think you've gotten a lot better. You have a good sense! That's what I like about you…

Syo Kurusu: Your songs… your rhythm… they feel good. I want to sing them forever.

Syo Kurusu: Forever and ever… I want to keep dancing with you, but…

Syo Kurusu: Ugh!

Syo-kun grimaces sharply, backs into the wall and sits down.

Syo Kurusu: Haa, haa, haa…

His breath is shallow… He's in pain.

Haruka Nanami: Syo-kun… A-are you okay? Should we go to the nurse's office? Or should I call the ambulance…?

Syo Kurusu: No, don't call them! This isn't a big deal!

I sit by Syo-kun's side and hug his shoulders.

I can't be of much help for him but I still want to support him.

But…

Syo Kurusu: Urgh…!

Syo-kun stands up.

Syo Kurusu: Sorry… I'm… going to cool off.

He runs outside.

Syo-kun… Is he… really alright? I'm so worried…

After that, Syo-kun frequently becomes ill when we practice dancing.

My heart hurts every time I see him clutching his chest with a pained look on his face. I don't want him to overexert himself and suffer.

The dance for the school festival will be different… but I'm still worried.

Haruka Nanami: Syo-kun… This is too much. We need to stop.

I stop dancing in the middle of a lesson.

Syo Kurusu: Why? I'm fine.

Haruka Nanami: I know that you're fighting through the pain as we dance…

It's okay for us to not attend the Christmas party. Please, let's stop.

Syo Kurusu: Don't say that. I… want to attend the party with you…

Syo Kurusu: We're only in this school for one year. I want to make as many memories as possible. I want to live with no regrets!

Haruka Nanami: Syo-kun…

I want to make memories too, but I’m worried that he's going to push himself too far…

On the day of the dance party, I  suddenly get called to the principal's office.

Haruka Nanami: Um… Did I do something wrong?

Shining Saotome: Hahaha… You're still fine, for now.

Shining Saotome: BUT it'll be too late if something were to happen, so I'm warning you now. That's because I'm very VERY nice.

Shining Saotome: Romance is against the rules. I know you already know this, but Mr. Syo is especially off limits.

Haruka Nanami: Why is that…?

Shining Saotome: Mr. Syo's heart is like a bomb. It's dangerous for his heart rate to accelerate.

Shining Saotome: Idols are always subject to pressure.

Shining Saotome: Who knows what will happen if you add lovey-dovey feelings in there. Be extra careful!

Haruka Nanami: Lovey-dovey… feelings…

Shining Saotome: Be extra careful if his face goes bright red or his heart starts throbbing like crazy! Avoid that at all costs!

Face going red… heart throbbing like crazy…

That has happened a lot whenever we’ve practiced dancing…

Select the Phrase!

わかりました。 I understand. (+0 Love +0 Music)

Haruka Nanami: I'll be careful!

Shining Saotome: Hahaha, good girl, good girl!

He ruffles my hair.

はいっ！ Yes, sir! (+0 Love +0 Music)

Haruka Nanami: Strenuous exercise and exhilaration… I'll be sure to avoid them as best as I can!

Shining Saotome: Hahaha! Do your best!

・・・ … (+20 Love +0 Music)

If… something happens to Syo… Just thinking beyond that causes my legs to tremble on the spot.

I have to stop his heart from racing…

I should stop us from dancing together tomorrow…

What should I tell him…

It's the day of the dance party.

Everyone has come to the party dressed glamorously.

I also am wearing a dress, but I don’t feel like dancing. I stand alongside the wall and watch everyone from afar.

Syo Kurusu: Haruka! There you are! Geez, I've been looking everywhere for you!

Syo-kun waves his arm and runs over to me.

Haruka Nanami: I'm sorry…

Syo Kurusu: Um… That dress looks good on you. I thought you were someone else.

Haruka Nanami: Thank you… You look handsome, like an actual prince…

Syo Kurusu: R-Really? I'm not used to these clothes so I'm just a little nervous…

Haruka Nanami: …Is your heart racing?

Syo Kurusu: Huh? Ah… yeah, a little bit…

His face is red…

His heart is a bomb… and… lovey-dovey feelings…

He was suffering so much even as we practiced. If we dance in a place like this, he'll…

Syo Kurusu: Come on. The song changed, so this is a good time to start dancing.

Syo Kurusu: And um… today's a special day… so take my hand, my princess.

Syo-kun straightens up and holds out his hand.

But….

Haruka Nanami: I'm so sorry… I can't dance with you.

I don't want Syo to suffer anymore.

I can't bear to watch him make that pained expression again.

Syo Kurusu: Why? We practiced so much…

Haruka Nanami: Because your heart races…

Syo Kurusu: Huh? What're you talking about?

Haruka Nanami: You suffered so much even when we practiced. If we dance right now, your heart won't take it.

Haruka Nanami: The principal told me that I mustn't put any more burden on your heart because it's dangerous…

Syo Kurusu: So?

Haruka Nanami: Are you angry?

Syo Kurusu: Yeah, I'm angry! You'll stop because it's dangerous? That's just running away.

Syo Kurusu: There's nothing gained from just running away. If there's a mountain, climb it. If there's a wall, go over it.

Syo Kurusu: If you give up before you start, that's the same as death. I won't stand living like that.

Syo Kurusu: We don't know when we'll die. That's why I refuse to back down. I'm living right here, right now!

Syo Kurusu: I'm going to make the most out of my life and keep living. I'll do every single thing that I can and make my mark in this world. 

Syo Kurusu: I want to cherish this life because I don't know when it'll end!

Syo Kurusu: I want to dance with you! I want to see more of your smile! So come with me, Haruka!

Syo-kun pulls my hand and runs.

He pulls me in and leads me with a strength that is unimaginably strong for such a small body.

He really is a man…

My heart starts racing.

Will his heart start racing if he were to hear my heart beating?

I get scared when I think about that.

Syo Kurusu: Don't look down. Look up. I'll be okay!

Haruka Nanami: But…

Syo Kurusu: It's fine. Believe me!

Haruka Nanami: Okay.

Syo Kurusu: Good!

He flashes the brightest smile I've ever seen from him.

His lead is powerful and graceful, and his movement is refined down to his fingertips.

It's as if he has become one with the music and I feel so good.

My heart is becoming one with Syo-kun and the music.

Female Student A: Ah, look at those two!

Female Student B: Wow… How wonderful!

Syo-kun's dancing is so graceful and polished that everyone around us starts sighing from admiration.

I can't believe I'm dancing with someone as skilled as him…

Syo Kurusu: Hey, don't look away. Look only at me.

Haruka Nanami: Okay.

Syo Kurusu: This is really nice. I love dancing with you. It feels great!

Haruka Nanami: I also love dancing with you.

Syo Kurusu: Listen up. You're mine for the rest of your life. Never ever dance with anyone else.

Haruka Nanami: Syo-kun…?

The music stops and we end our dance.

We take a pause and then…

Syo-kun hugs me tightly.

Syo Kurusu: In exchange, I'll always be by your side. Be with me always, right here with me…

Syo-kun whispers into my ear.

Haruka Nanami: Of course.

I don't know what will happen from now on. I think his heart is going to race more frequently if we're together.

But I will continue supporting him… right by his side.

The party ends, and Syo-kun and I walk towards the dorms.

Syo Kurusu: Ahh! My shoulders are stiff. I guess that's what happens when you wear clothes like these.

Haruka Nanami: Yeah… I agree. But I had a lot of fun!

Syo Kurusu: Yeah… I got to see you in a dress… and you were… very pretty.

Haruka Nanami: Th…Thank you.

Syo Kurusu: Umm… I want to tell you something.

Haruka Nanami: Tell me what?

Syo Kurusu: Umm… You don't have to be my servant.

Haruka Nanami: Ah… so this means you're firing me?

Syo Kurusu: Huh? Uh, yeah… You're not helpful at all. You're an absolute clutz. Heck, I end up taking care of you most of the time… 

Haruka Nanami: I'm sorry…

I didn't know that I was causing this much trouble for Syo-kun…

Syo Kurusu: You idiot… Why are you making that face?

Thump.

Syo-kun lightly taps me on the head with his fist.

Syo Kurusu: What I mean is… you've been promoted from being my servant to being my princess.

Haruka Nanami: Princess…?

Syo Kurusu: Meaning… I'll date you. There, I spelled it out for you…

Haruka Nanami: Date? Me and… Syo-kun?

I'm so incredibly happy that I can’t stop the tears from welling up in my eyes and overflowing down my cheeks.

Syo Kurusu: H-hey. Don't cry! Does that mean… you hate me?

Syo-kun looks into my face, flustered.

I shake my head.

Haruka Nanami: I'm happy…

I tell him my feelings as best as I could.

There's so much I want to tell him but I'm crying so much that I couldn't form words.

Syo Kurusu: Erg…!

He hugs me.

Syo Kurusu: Hey, that face is too much to handle… You're too cute!

He loosens his embrace and looks into my face.

Syo Kurusu: Haruka… I love you.

He leans into my lips…

This isn't acting. This is real… a real kiss.

Syo Kurusu: Nn…

After giving me a brief kiss, he gazes into my eyes again.

Syo Kurusu: I won't let go of you for the rest of your life. Brace yourself.

Haruka Nanami: Okay.

I won't ever let go of him. I want to be by his side forever, and ever, for the rest of our lives…

Mini Game

Ryuuya Hyuuga: Hey, Nanami. Sorry for calling you here. I want your opinion on composing.

Ryuuya Hyuuga: Here are some unfinished lyrics by a student. They're still stuck on what to write.

Ryuuya Hyuuga: What kind of phrases would you put in while considering the melody? Can you pick some out of the choices?

Ryuuya Hyuuga: Just approach it the same way as you did with the previous lyrics test.

Ryuuya Hyuuga: However, nothing's finished so there isn’t really a right answer.

Ryuuya Hyuuga: In this case, think about what would feel right here… Nah, it's fine.

Ryuuya Hyuuga: Are you ready? Time to get started!

S RANK

Syo Kurusu: I was surprised. You and I think the same way. We must have the same kind of sense… Birds of a feather!

Haruka Nanami: Maybe we are!

It would be nice if we are. I would be happy if we have the same music sense.

Hello! Can I request s/o making a flower crown hadcanons for Iwai, Maruki, Zenkichi and Ichinose Kuon, please? Thank you.

S/O Making Them A Flower Crown

Fandom: Persona 5

Character(s): Munehisa Iwai, Takuto Maruki, Zenkichi Hasegawa, Ichinose Kuon

Type of Request: Headcanons

Note(s): This is super cute!!

Iwai

At first, Iwai is a bit awkward about the flower crown but he sees how much effort his partner puts into making it and ultimately is very appreciative of it.

He ends up wearing it when he's at home just so his S/O is happy. Seeing Kaoru smile about it makes Iwai put the crown on him for a while too.

Iwai would also secretly keep it as a good luck charm. He hides it under the counter at Untouchable. Akira has asked about it before and got a glare from Iwai.

Maruki

Maruki is thrilled when his significant other presents him with the flower crown and is very moved by the gesture.

He wears it around the house all day just to get you to smile or to tease you a bit. Will bring it to school in hopes that maybe it can bring a smile and some laughter to his student's faces too.

Maruki also takes the flower crown with him on walks, enjoying the way it sways with the breeze.

Zenkichi

Zenkichi is touched by the effort his significant other puts into making the flower crown and ends up wearing it all day.

He feels a bit self-conscious about it at first, but the way his significant other compliments him on how he looks in it makes him feel like he can take on the world.

Zenkichi takes the flower crown with him to work and puts it in his desk drawer, knowing that it will be a source of motivation for when he needs it most.

Ichinose Kuon

At first, Kuon is hesitant about the idea of wearing a flower crown, but her significant other's enthusiasm for the project wins her over.

She ends up wearing the flower crown when working on her experiments in the lab. She honestly forgot it was still on her head, but no one mentions it.

Probably ends up stashing the flower crown somewhere and forgets it's there. Yes it was a gift from you, but the flowers will eventually wilt and die anyway so she's not going to try to keep it safe.
