The Queen Of Shadows (Persona 5 Fanfic)

Chapter 19

I walked down the street. I was going to meet up with Catherine at a dinner. She wanted to hang out and I couldn't say no to her. She was a strange girl. I wanted to develope deep bonds with people but for some reason I still couldn't find a way to depend my bond with her. No matter how hard I tried. I stopped and looked at my phone. I checked the name of the place and entered. I walked in and saw her at a table. Her hair was down again. She looked beautiful with her hair down like that. I couldn't understand myself. She always made me feel strange. Yet I ignored it. I sat down across from her. "Hey Akira" she said. "So we have to meet up on the roof tommorow right? Why so?" She asked. "Well later aren't we celebrating?" I asked. "True. Well I called you here so I can ask you something" she said. "What?" I asked. Morgana staying silent in my bag. He knew that Catherine would hear him. "If I asked for help? Would you help me? No matter what?" She asked. "Well. It really depends Catherine" I said. "Of course it does. Well nevermind. Let's go hang out somewhere else" she said. She pushed her glasses up. She was so beautiful with those glasses on. I snapped myself from my random thinking. "Wanna head to the celebration?" I asked. She gave a nod. We got up and left. Everyone kept staring at her. She was wearing a black shirt. jeans going with it. She had a jacket on and a stick from a sucker in her mouth. Do many guys were staring at her. Even telling their friends. She was dominating everyone with every step. She was like the star of a show. "Look how beaitiful that lady is" someone said. So many people talking. I felt like I had to make them stop. I wrapped an arm around Catherine and smiled to her. "So. You doing okay? I heard that something happened to you and Zetsu" I said. "Saving that story for a day everyones ready for it" Catherine said. The wind blew gently and her hair flowed. I leamed in closer to her. I never wanted to let her go. Yet I knew there was no way I'd be able to pursue her love. She was to out of the world for me.

We had made it to the hotel Ann picked to celebrate at. It looked pretty fancy. Catherine looked down. "This place is a terrible place" I heard her whisper. "How so?" I asked quietly. "The rich people come here" she muttered. "Hey Catherine! Have you've ever been here?" Ann asked. "Yes I have. Great food. Terrible people" Catherine said. Ann looked down. "You look upset" she said. Catherine smiled. "No I'm not Ann. Its a great choice. I just dont feel comfortable around a lot of these people" Catherine said looking around. She held her arms. "Let freakin eat already!" Ryuji said excited. "Yeah! Food will cheer you up!" Ann said dragging Catherine away. I shook my head. "I see you Akira. Having your arm around her like that" Ryuji said smirking. "She was really sad on the way here. I was trying to make her feel better" I replied. "Yeah sure" Ryuji said. I just walked forward pushing my glasses up.

I got up to go get some food. Ryuji and Ann had failed to bring me and Morganna much. Catherine got up. "I'll go with you" she said. I gave a nod and smile. We walked and Morgana suggested evesdropping on the adults. Me and Catherine evesdropping. That was until an adult said something rude about me. "He's not weird!" Catherine said. She set her plate down and walked to the man and women. "Your being awfully rude! All because we are younger does not mean anything!" Catherine said with confidence. "Who do you think you are?" The women asked. "I am terribly sorry about her Mam. She's my brothers girldfriend" a man said. He had his hands up in defense. "I invited her and her friends here. I'm terribly sorry if she disturbed you" he said. Another guy patting her head. I knew it was someone she had to know. She wouldnt let random guys make excuses liek that. "I do apologize for my girlfriend. She's got quiet the temper. She's also very defensive of her friends" The one patting Catherines head said. He wrapped his arms around Catherine. The women was blushing. "I'm sorry to cause trouble for you Quil brothers" she said. "I didn't mean to disrespect them. I had no idea they were with you" the man said. The lady and man walkign away. "I didn't know you two were here" Catherine said. "Good thing we were" the brown haired one said. "Ah no worries Catherine. I always love seeing my family" the black haired one said. "Oh Zack. William. Meet Akira. He's my best friend" Catherine said. "He seems nice" William said. "Yeah. He better not ever hurt you catherine or I'll personally handle him" Zack said. He cracks his fist. Catherine only gave out a laugh and pat his back. "Sure sure! Not before I do though!" Catherine said with her beautiful laugh. I couldn't help but smile at her. "Thanks for sticking up for me Catherine" I said. She gave that Shinning smile. "Also thank you both for getting her out of that situation. Do you have to use the girlfriend tactic?" I asked. "Sorry its the first thing I thought of" William said. "I was just going with the flow. Even if it was awkward" Zack said. "We bye" William said dragging Zack away. I shook my head. "Lets finish up and eat alright?" I asked Catherine. She grabbed her plate. "Of course Akira" she replied. "Wow mistress Catherine is so strong now" Morganna said purring. "Sure am" Catherine replied petting morgannas head. "Ill make sure to grab plenty of fish just for you Morganna" she mentioned. Morganna super happy.
