The Place Where We Belong ( Persona 5 x Reader )

Broken hearts

Ryuji's POV

I woke up suddenly. I had woken up an hour earlier, when it's usually the opposite. I looked out the window and the day seemed dark. I felt as though it was gonna be one of those shitty days when you just want to go back to bed.

I got up and started walking around my small room. I had chips, energy drinks, dumbbells and manga all over the place, but it was alright.  'So, now we play the waiting game, just that, huh?' I thought as I sighed. I picked up a manga and took it with me to bed. It was a manga (Y/n) had given to me on my birthday. I had already read it like a thousand times, but I never got tired of it. It wasn't one of my usual types of manga, but it was still cool. I read it again once more. It reminded me quite a lot from when we were dating a year ago. We could do whatever the hell we wanted, we could just enjoy ourselves, it rocked like that. But she always had her problems as I had mine, and for no known reason she broke up with me all of a sudden, but she hadn't given up on me... And ever since Akira came around she changed a lot, or maybe I was just starting to see the truth. We had all changed, but she was the who changed the most, at least it seemed like that for me.

After I finished reading the manga, I looked at the clock and it was time to go to school. I got up, got dressed and went to the kitchen. I did my best to try not to wake my mother up. I made breakfast for me and left some ready for my mother so she wouldn't have much to do. I brushed my teeth, looked in the mirror a bit, got my bag and went to the station so I could go to school.

When I got there, I found Mishima alone. I tried to get by him by secretly, so he wouldn't notice me, but he noticed me anyway. "Oh, Sakamoto-kun! Have you seen (L/n)-chan?" he asked. He still seemed to be down with all that happened. "Nope, see ya." I said and walked to the courtyard. When I got there, I found exactly who Mishima was looking for. (Y/n) was with Akira and that damn cat. I went next to them about the same time Ann did. We all had a little chat before we all had to go to classes. The bell rang and everyone had to go somewhere. Akira and Ann had to go to class 2-D classroom. (Y/n) had to go to 3-C and I had to go to 2-C. Ann and Akira took the left as (Y/n) and I took the right. She seemed concerned about something.

She had her hair down, so I brushed it a bit while we were walking. She smiled as I got my fingers tangled with her hair bangs. "How are you, (Y/n)? You don't seem to be one hundred percent." She frowned as we reached the door to her classroom. She looked at me in the eyes. "After classes finish for today, please meet me at the rooftop. We can talk there." She said. I looked at her, feeling kinda of sorry for how sad she looked like. She got her hand on my cheek and rubbed her thumb on my skin with care. I got my face closer to her hand as I looked at her with the cute look she liked. She smiled, her eyes seemed to have shined after that. "Talk to you later then, try and get better okay?" I replied as I grabbed her hand and held it in mine. She nodded with a bright smile. She hugged me tightly and we both went to our classrooms.

When classes finished, I went to the rooftop as (Y/n) had asked me to. When I got there, she wasn't there yet. Or maybe she already was, but was inside the shadows. Now that I knew she had such a thing, so many things had been explained, and it was kinda creepy thinking of all the things she could've done with it. 

After some time, I sat on the ground, legs stretched as I looked at my feet idly. She then appeared and came next to me. She hadn't been able to lift herself up. I just wanted to know what was in her head so I could help her.

She sat on my lap, carefully sitting on my left leg so she wouldn't hurt my previously broken one. I placed my hand on her waist and looked at her. She immediately started crying silently. Her tears streaming down as I looked at her beautiful face.
