" what i have with you, i don’t want with anyone else. "

UPON HIS WORDS, eyes of gentle hues set themselves 'pon Akira's, ( they do not dare to dart away, nor is what he said dismissed. ) instead, an airy, light laugher pushes through lips. the false god he had thought to be his enemy ( a threat to society itself as best ) had never looked less of one before this moment. — had he finally found somebody in which their presence had been worthy enough to start cracking down the wall he had built over the course of years? a wall that. had been built for not only others but for his self? ( surely, Minato had to notice it too. after all, the two are one && the same. ) both building their own walls to protect themselves from the cruel world — Minato had never been one to fear DEATH, not in a sense of his own well being. ( to be precise, ) he had always feared losing others but never himself. everybody had a reason to keep going. ( but unfortunately, Minato had always thought otherwise when the subject fall 'pon his future. ) 

life may have had no plan for him, but death surely did — && even in this twist of fate. this whole exchange the two had was only be a temporary stay ( nothing more && nothing less. ) yet, even in the short period of time that he is given. he cannot deny that he had begun to grow a ' fondness ' for the other — ( && such a fondness had been mutual. ) perhaps it was a result of the arcana playing its part, with both feeling something akin to familiarity. perhaps, it was the two's understanding of one another's loneliness settling in that they found themselves embracing in each other's arms for what they had longed for ( comfort && security. ) It's an exchange that the two arguable wondered if what they had felt was considered normal to have with the person that you viewed as your enemy….

( no, of course, it wasn't. )

even so, it'll be foolish for him to view what they had together as something he'd have with anyone else — the closest he could possily think of doing such a thing, would ( unsurprising ) be with that of S.E.E.S. as they've been they only people that he had viewed as family, however, that was what made the exchange confusing. Akira was neither a friend nor ally, ( he was an enemy. ) — && even though, the two were aware of it, it made it nearly impossible to not see a part of himself through Akira. the both of them were struggling with their own demons, however, Minato was simply fortunate enough to find a group that supported him through times in which he felt alone...

Akira did not have such luxury. 

needless to say, it is not shocking that Akira would say such words to him. anybody would've said it, had they've been through a similar situation, && to feel as though they had finally find somebody ( enemies or not. ) — to stay by their side, through even the not so calming && relaxing moments. his laugher lingers far longer than anything he has done before; it's unlike the quiescent to laugh in the face of what would be his opponent ! ( it had been considered cruel, ) but with it towards Akira. someone he knew, would not be bothered by such an action. — && as such, he had no need to concern himself with it. ❛ Hehe, really? ❜ a voice that sounded almost sarcastic, mocking the tone of his words. as though they are meant to be dismissed so easily && without a care.

that had been until he approached him, ( no hesitate, no fear, no worries ) with arms wrapped themselves around Akira's waist, pulling him close against his form. ( ❝ i'm always here for you... ❞ ) 

❛ I guess, you could say, I feel the same way. ❜

[miracleheart]

yes, he's brought flowers! starring roses & astroemerias, arranged together in a brilliant tricolor of ruby reds, soft whites, & vivid greens: fresh from a place of eternal love! no special occasion needed.

proximity perishes in a crescendo of eager steps, a perfume of earthy sweetness garnished with the tangle of akira's cologne. & all in a fluid instant, hand greets hand. leads with a rise to his lips that gifts it a kind kiss, light as the smile blooming from behind the curl of minato's fingers.

" let's go out for dinner tonight. my treat. "

( true ending?! )

( & cue the invisible applause ! ) a showing unlike anything of the sort, truly, a phantom of the night  ⸺  accompanied ( of course ) by the radiant bouquet offered to no one but the messiah himself. false god. a destruction to all man-kind. ( & yet, he still managing's to be a flirt of sorts. )  ⸺  colorful array of petals arranged perfectly ! ( crimson red & snowy white, ) a parchment of flower languages that nearly played the part of unfamiliarly at first, it is only further examining that he recollect the language that was once taught to him ( memories they kindled together. )

( passion, desire, true love, & romance. ) the classic ❝ I love you ❞ without words being needed, whispers of passion & a blossom of true love ( a story within a fairy-tale )  ⸺  snicker bubble & spill from soft lips at his choosing, simply, evidently enough, still, he does not dismiss such attempts. as for the other. ( love, strength, support & purity, ) although similar in meaning, purpose wise, were different. wedding bouquet, the sole flowers most would see in weddings. truth be told, it got a tint of pink to settle his pale cheeks. ❛ Akira⸺... ❜ name spoken vocally, an odd development ! ( not one to hold his tongue ) he’d properly voiced his feelings out & yet, found himself at a loss of words.

not only, from the language itself in which he brought  ⸺  the tender exchanged from one’s own action is enough to snap him into reality. LOVE. indeed, a word that sounded senseless  ⸺  what should’ve been buried alongside the childhood that once been robbed from him. ( family,  comrades, lovers ) worthless titles, far from any personal interest of his & yet, that itself changed. lonesome nights turn to lively nights, exchange of hesitation & distrust became nothing more than faded memories.

( ❝ so, this what it’s like to be in love? ❞ )

❛ Not this again... ❜ sharp comment slides, free hand brushing back navy blue locks. ( a near attempt to mask away fragments of a pinkish hues that dot along his cheeks ) an annoyance response, appearing nearly disinterested at the mere idea of such a date & yet...

❛ Mn, alright. ❜ followed with softest sigh, nearly feeling as though he had lost a game that hardly began. ❛ I am hungry so... ❜

smug & annoying as ever, surely things like this is the reason why his ex-companions wanted him dead: "it’s cute that you tried to protect me and all, but you’re like a foot shorter than me, you know?" - - sorry minato (akira still loves you though don't tell him i said that)

❛ Heh, you should be careful with who you are talking too. ❜

COLD REMARKS ARE FORM through warm lips; a rarity of sarcastic draws beneath his breath, an instinctual reaction of the defensive is only a desire to prove himself still worthy as a threat — as small in stature he may be in comparison to that of the self-proclaimed God himself. ( it all make up for his capability to always be the first to strike back when the enemy least expected. ) however he doesn’t react on it simply comments on it. he's dealt with far greater contempt from others than the one present before him. while he's take Akira as worthy for remark, ( it is not enough to gainer a greater reaction out of him. )

so he simply meets his gaze && shrug his shoulder.

❛ I'm not the one wearing a clown suit in front of our enemies after all. ❜

" what if i hurt you? "

promoted asked ! / ( &. 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. )

WHAT SORT OF WHIMSICAL, farfetched fantasy led him to think this? what demons had corrupt the minds of the Devil's serpent that spent countless years painting his throne the shade of red that he was deeply fond of? — only those that are capable enough to destroy the core strength he had left within ( && with that, leaving him wondering. )

( ❝ You won't ❞ ) were nothing more than words trapped within his throat ( unable to be spoken out ) though his expression remains flat, ( a blessing at time like these ) it's is an undoubtedly a troublesome affair the two found themselves in — what many would chuckle off as ( ' silly thoughts, ' ) Minato would think otherwise of the matter. && within the silence they created ( it's filled with desolation ) an acquaintance Minato was far too familiar with.

relationships were tricky — it is unlike the televises show that it presented itself as ( && tending to unrealistic standards. ) he wonders if his parents too, had it dealt with their own imperfect in terms of relationship. ❛ ...You could. ❜ he does not doubt the possibility of that. ❛ But... ❜ a sudden pause, ( a relax in muscles && straighten in posture. )  — ❛ I won't give up on our relationship easily. ❜ ( ❝ And you shouldn't too. ❞ ) ❛ —...Will you?. ❜

yawn, signaling the start of his plod around the kitchen next to the roar of coffee maker. middle of the morning but don't mind him, half-awake as he is in slink up behind minato. hand raises, making its way toward the cabinet before them. as for the other? just as busied in its search & settle at the smaller one's waist.

THE QUIET HAND PLACED ‘pon his waist catches him by surprise ! a morning greeting filled with that of affection — soft lips part an awe, ( ❝ Oh... ❞ ) tiresome eyes flickering briefly, with head slightly cocking to the side. curious glance peers up at the taller male through long lashes — he could feel the warmth of his skin against his as he inhaled slowly, with all previously thoughts now vanished in favor of fixated on the trickster's appearance.

minato ponders for what seems like hours, gaze never shifting elsewhere. almost seemingly amazed at first glance, && perhaps, there's some truth to such statement, but alas... it is far from such a case. as even with words not being spoken out, it'll never stop the messiah from allowing his own mind to speak the truth itself.

( ❝ this angle make him look bad... ❞ ) && yet... there's an almost certain charm to it that he can only manage ( or perhaps, his heart has been far too smitten to care of such matters... ) — but as quick as such thought came forth, it is immediately interrupted by the suddenly bubbling from the kettle before him — a pause, cerulean eyes shifted away, quick to regain his composure ( on the surface, at least, ) his slender fingers move to pitch the base of the other’s knuckles tightly ( tugging at it ! ) suddenly && without any bit of remorse from such an action alone.

❛ It's too early for this… ❜

[orphilos]

⸺ cups his face & presses a soft kiss to his forehead.

SUDDEN ACT OF BUTTERFLY KISS leaves a flutter in his heart, the crimson warmth settling 'pon that of his snowy cheeks && something in his gaze softens with a concoction of affection && love — while words are never spoken among one another in time such as these, it is the simple exchange that find itself speaking far louder than any words that is ever needed.

as soon as he pulls away, the corner of Minato's lip finally twitch. ❛ You're in a good mood. ❜

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐘 ; sleep headcanons.

type of bed.

a twin size bed with firm mattress and the bedframe being dark wood 

number of blankets.

one during the summer while roughly two or three depending on how cold the weather is during the winter. 

number of pillows.

technically two ! one pillow he uses it for sleeping while the other one is simply... there to be there. there's really nothing note worthy about it. 

type of clothing.

plain t-shirts and sweatpants ! if it's hot than he'll change the sweatpants to shorts. 

does it matter where they sleep ?

sort of... he's not like tatsuya who can sleep anywhere regardless of discomfort or where it is. he actually does care where he sleeps, he's not going to sleep in some bench or on the ground without a care... however, if he's around people that he feels comfortable with ( those of being S.E.E.S, ryoji, hakuno, his sister/other self minako, and significan partners ) he could really care less of where he sleeps then... Those people of his may have even seen him sleep standing up, that's how little the ordeal becomes once he's around those he feels comfortable with. 

what do they do if they cannot fall asleep ?

he'd stick to doing activities if he's unable to sleep. listening to music, wandering around the dormitory ( specifically the first floor as to not bother the others with his footsteps in the hallway, ) sometime going on his laptop browsing the internet for a bit. There's been a few time in which during his time wandering about in the dormitory that Aigis will be around, having a conversation with her If he feels up for talking. 

frequent dreams, nightmares.

he's hardly much of a dreamer. If he dreaming he's not going to recall much of it, if at all. Although nightmares are the one that are far more clearer to him than he'd like to admit, often time the nightmare are about the loss of his parents. Other time, it's Shinjiro's death that replays in his minds or how Junpei nearly died had it not been for Chidori's sacrifice. Although, he doesn't mind the idea of dying himself, but when it comes to others... It's proves to always a difficult area for him. 

deep slumber or naps ?

deep slumber.

when do they sleep ?

He doesn't have a set schedule of when he sleeps, if he feels tired than he will go to bed without a second thought. There may be a few times in which he had to force himself to stay up longer ( exploring Tartarus for example ) but for the most part, he'll often go to bed when he feels his body wishes to rest. 

what could wake them up ?

sudden / unexpected loud noises, shaking him whether gently or roughly is another way of waking up. however, I'd advise that you don't wake him out roughly as he'd been in a bitter mood. or hearing the voice of somebody will get him to wake up.

  cauterizing rage

the house has burned around you, and you’re the only one left standing. is it gratifying to be the survivor? fear and anger are weapons in your capable hands, used only to serve your agenda of fighting back when deemed necessary. you're a powerful person, built from the ashes of your despair and your family's mistakes. with time, you'll bloom into someone softer, like the full blossoms that grow each spring and wither away with the leaves in fall. they won't disappear if you take your eyes off of them. you're enough.

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐘 ; Which creature are you within the Enchanted Forest?

Elf

You’ve always been very analytical. Not in a cold or cruel way though. After all, you are also an artistic and deeply feeling person—well aware that emotions cannot be ignored when making a choice. They require just as much thought as everything else. No, you’re not clinical. Just highly introspective. Information guides you. To ignore it would mean to be willfully lost. And only a fool would choose such a path.

This is what gets you in trouble with the royal court of the Corrupt Kingdom. Serving as an advisor, you repeatedly counselled the king and other parties against the choices recommended by your peers, which ranged from ill-conceived to downright tyrannical. But they never listened. Once you became certain no one currently in power had the interests of the public in mind, you demanded their removal or you’d expose them to the population. They responded with a threat of their own. ( Immediate execution. )

So, you fled to the Enchanted Forest. You used your wisdom, sharp awareness, and compassion to navigate the woods, eventually arriving upon the Elven Door. The Elves of the Banished Kingdom recognized your rich emotionality and high intelligence and knew you were one of them. You worked with the Huntsmen and Goblins to create strategies to take down the Corrupt Kingdom, going on to fight alongside with them and the Dwarves. After the war, you worked to preserve the cultures of the now conjoined kingdoms, as well as establish a more fair and just land. You can frequently be found wandering the woods with your fellow elves, studying the beauty of this world and its people.

PERSONA 5 VERSE.

Title. ??? (canon title), Messiah. Name. Arisato Minato. Age. 24 (technically in P5)

☾。Info. Awoken from his long slumber, Minato was given the mission to challenge the new Wild Card user. Although, confused at first. He doesn’t attempt to question such matters, fully believing that once this is over that he’ll return back to his responsibility as Great seal. Needless to say, Minato had won the battle without breaking much of a sweat. With his task being finished, Minato was about to go through his original plan of returning. That is until he finds himself falling into darkness, passing out suddenly & without warning.

☾。Yaldabaoth Ending (Canon ending - tied to thieviant). Minato is awakened with no recollection of his memories aside from the fight prior before passing out, Minato finds himself within an unknown place, it hadn’t been the Velvet Room that he was in prior. The place that Minato was currently in, was Café Leblanc. Akira’s home. After witnessing Minato passing out, Akira had decided to take Minato back to his world to not only assure that he was alright but ask questions. Questions that Minato would be unable to answer, with little interest in returning him back to the Velvet room. Akira allows Minato to live with him for the time being, while seemingly a kind gesture at first glance. Akira clearly has a certain motive that he is hoping to achieve by having Minato by his side, whatever the motive may be. It is anyone’s guess.

Extra Notes.

► Minato’s original body is long gone. The body that Minato currently owns is one that is created by Philemon himself. although, igor does not explain the detail in which it came from or how he managed to do such things. it is simply a “gift”, lavenza had been the one that had suggested the idea of being that would've been power enough to defeat or cause a difficult battle for the Wild Card User. although, that is not the only reason that Philemon had agreed 'pon such requests, these battles against the new Wild Card user couldn't be fulfil with his current state, needless to say, if it wasn’t for the fact that Minato ( & to an extent, Akira ) opened another path of new possibilities. Minato wouldn’t be able to gain the body that he’s currenting owning.

► During the battle, Minato would sudden collapse && awaken with amnesia is a result of one key thing. Minato's soul not fully being intact. To prevent from the Great Seal breaking, Minato's soul had been split in half. With the remaining part of his soul still remains within the Great Steal itself, while appearing to be, perhaps a solution at having him become 'free.' it is far from a solution, aside from amnesia. he's now physically && mentally become exhausted far quicker than normal, often needing to rest as to restore energy within him. another key thing to take into account is his appearance, despite technically being 24 by the time the event of persona 5 ends up happening. Minato's appearance does not appear to be the actual age in which he should be. never physically aging as a result. Lastly, one key thing to be noted is that he has black bags under his eyes. as a reminder to himself, that he's nothing more than half the soul of what once was. At some point, he'll need to return back to the Great Seal as no matter what, he's not able to run away from that fate.

► His arcana is still the Universe Arcana. However, he's unable to summon Messiah currently. Only being able to summon Orpheus. Later on, he'll be able to regain the ability to summon Messiah.

► He has no recollection of his past life or the events that happened within persona 3. At least, not at the start. He’d gradually restore his memories overtime based on certain events that unfold. Obviously, there’s a chance in which he may not regain any of his memories at all, in which whatever happens can shift his views on things or personality somewhat. 

► Igor is fully aware of what happened but he decides to let the two go. Igor isn’t an idiot, he is fully aware that Minato will return back to his task at hand overtime, as he can see the events that will unfold. Lavenza on the other hand, is not very fond of the idea that Akira practically kidnapped Minato, but similar as Igor, she does allow it somewhat.

what kind of “I love you” are you ??

RESULT: i hate you ( i love you )

this is said with a sort of disbelief, that you can't believe you love this person, that you could never have imagined they would make you feel such affection and fondness for them. they're a little shit, the most ridiculous person you've ever met, and you would absolutely die for them. you say "i hate you," and they just shoot you that stupid grin of theirs. maybe they throw it back at you. neither of you has to say "i love you," to know that you do, it goes without saying.
