The Place Where We Belong ( Persona 5 x Reader )

Volleyball rally

You were in your classroom. Bandages around your arms but they were hidden by your uniform jacket. You were attending homeroom class.

"As you all probably know, today is the volleyball rally." Your homeroom teacher announced. You had forgotten about it even though you remembered about it yesterday. "Once you've changed your clothes, head to the gym." Your class was dismissed.

You headed to the locker room while you remembered what had happened the night before after you took care of your bruises.

[Flashback]

You took out your phone from your pocket and noticed someone texted you. It was Mishima-kun.

'Hello, (Y/n)! Hope everything's alright with you... I take it that you haven't forgotten about the volleyball rally that will take place tomorrow... I was wondering if you could ask Kamoshida to be by my side during the game... I can barely play that sport well... But with you by my side I know I can do it!... So, what do you say?'

It sure was one big of a text, but you took your time to read it and reply to him with an 'I'll think about it, Mishima-kun.'. You had to admit that you had totally forgotten about the volleyball rally.

You scrolled down your contacts. Stopping once you got to the contact you needed. You checked the time and it was still possible to phone someone at that time.

'Father's going to be out all night, huh? What a joke...' You thought. You started calling the person you wanted. He eventually picked up while you went to the bathroom so you wouldn't make much noise to wake up your family members.

"Hello, (L/n)-chan. Anything worrying you?" Suguru asked.

"Hello, Kamoshida. I was wondering... Is there a place for me on the team for tomorrow's volleyball rally?" You asked. He didn't reply for some time, but he eventually did.

"Of course. Anything else?" He asked. He wanted to end your conversation as quick as possible.

"No. See you tomorrow, sensei." You replied and immediately hung up. You have that bad habit. As soon as you say goodbye, you hang up the calls. If people had anything else to say, they can call back later.

[End Flashback]

You changed into your gym uniform. You had a different visual from the other students when you wore your gym clothes. While the other female students wore jackets on top of t-shirts with shorts, all from the school's gym uniforms, of course, you wore a jacket on top of a boob tube, designed especially for you to wear as your gym uniform (as it needed the school colours and logo). You wore pants like the boys, instead of shorts like the girls. All in all, it was to hide your bruises.

It's not like anyone knew what you went through, or they knew you had wounds all over your arms and legs. You simply asked for it and they gave it to you.

After changing clothes, you went to the gym. The volleyball team was there... And you didn't like how it seemed. The weaker team was against some older guys and Kamoshida himself.

You went next to Mishima-kun. His eyes lit up once he saw you. The team also stayed happier once they understood you were going to play on their side. You looked behind you, and found Akira and Ryuji, right behind you. You blushed as you realised how bad it was but the red faded away when they told you the game was going to start in a few seconds.

"(L/n)-senpai!" A random female student called you. You looked at her. "Aren't you going to put your hair up in a ponytail or something?" She asked as you put your hair back. You smiled at her, and the whistle was blown.
