Profound Bonds: Persona 3 Reader Insert

Fated

"Ouch..! What in the hell?" You rub  sore forehead. That's going to hurt  in the morning. Rolling onto your back, you stare at the ceiling.

  'Did I fall out of bed because of some dream or...?' 

There is a faint light that fills the room with soft light. You look towards the light source.  It was your PSP. Its charging cord wrapped around your left ankle.

"Oh shit! No, no, no, no, no!" You are quick to get up and make sure that the portable console.  The first thing that you do is check the face for any cracks or scratches.

"Oh, there you are, my dearest (Y/n). I thought that you hurt yourself. Are you alright?"

A sweet, concerned, childish voice comes from your palms. With a yelp, you accidentally drop the hand-held device. The child that resides in said device makes a started sound. 

"oh no, I didn't just--"

"(Y/n)? Are you still there? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you..."   

The same soft voice chimes from the device you just dropped again, you clumsy oaf. You rush to bring him back into your sights. A sadden look adorns his face. You feel like a complete shit head. 

"Aaaaaand on top of being confused as hell, I now feel like an utter asshole--"

"Don't apologize, if anyone should apologize it should me. I shouldn't have reacted like that, even if I was a tad bit startled, I'm sorry." You apologize, trying to reassure him that he did nothing wrong.

He brightens up a bit. "Oh my goodness, he's so cute, i'm gonna die--"

"I bet your wondering what is going on. Do not fret my dearest, I will explain it all shortly. ......you might want to sit down and get comfortable."

You comply to his wishes, making your way back to your bed, PSP in hand. Taking a sit and making yourself comfortable as instructed.  You look at him expectantly, urging him to continue. When he see that you are ready for what he is about to unleash, he clears his throat and lock his mako infused eyes with your (eye color) ones.

"I have been waiting a long time to meet you. We need help and you are the only one who can do what is needed to be done."

"'We'? W-wait I don't understand. What do you mean?"

He chuckles and it sounds like wind chimes."I was getting to that dearest (Y/n)." He then regains his serious composure.

"As you know, Minato, as the star-crossed protagonist, has only two options: to sacrifice his life to save his world, or to kill one of his close friend to keep living his days happily. You can plainly see that neither of those options is what he wishes. This is where you come into play. You are and outside  being; the player. Limited as they maybe, you are the one that makes the choices, whether they are good ones or not. With you not being held by the binds of programmed whims, you can change the course of the game ."

Your face slackens as what Pharos says. 'This makes no sense what so ever! I have to be hallucinating! That's right , I am most likely in the loony-bin- -"you look back at the animated child.

His eyes shine brightly with a wise look in them.

"(Y/n), I believe that you have power to help Minato save the world--everyone-- without him having to pay the price of giving up his life or sacrificing another."

He gazes at you with so much hope and faith that your throat closes in on itself and almost unable to protest.

Almost

"B-but how can I be capable of doing something like that if I can't even defeat The Hanged Man Shadow on the bridge? I try EVERYTHING but I end up failing. Every. Single. Time--"

"Listen (Y/n), I don't think you're capable to do this, I know that you can do this. You have a very special and important power at your disposal."

You are still filled with doubt. You shake your head in discontent.

"But I'm not strong--hell I can't even do one pull up without curling up in to a ball of sweat, tears, and self-loathing."

He sends me a soft reassuring smile.

"Don't say that! Sure that is one of your weaknesses but all of your strengths make up for it. I Believe in you."

You could not stop the flustered look that made its way onto you face. You just stare on silently, knowing that if you try to utter a word, you would turn into a blubbering mess. "He's too sweet! I just wanna hug him--"

"Do you want to take a chance to become a hero?"

You thought about it. 'I mean I wouldn't be leaving anything behind. I don't have many friends, and Mom and Dad and (older sibling name) are rarely home so we don't talk much.'

"Yes. I'll take the gamble." You agreed. As you stated, you life was a boring one. It was your turn for adventure.

"I want to save your world!"

You give him a small smile and a bright light flashes from the screen.

I could feel someone trying to shake me awake. The ground below me was cold and slightly damp.

"Please (L/n)-san, wake up! It's not safe here!" I hear a soft, worried voice makes it way into my ear. My eyes snap open and I sit up quickly. That wasn't a very smart idea...

"Ow ow OW!" A flood of pain flows into my skull.  tiny tears prick at the corner of my eyes as I clutch my aching head.

"U-um, (L/n)-san? A-are you okay?" I stop my dance of pain to look at my companion:

Fuuka Yamagishi.
