The Place Where We Belong ( Persona 5 x Reader )

The Exhibit

After Yusuke left, we all rushed to school to finish our exams week. It was tiring, but we all managed to survive school... for now. When we all finished school, we gathered at Shibuya station to think about what to do next. We relaxed for a moment and decided we would go to Madarame's exhibit the next day. It would be a great way of getting more info on him.

As we were exhausted, we each went home. Akira and I walked together until we reached our place. I walked inside LeBlanc and Akira followed. We both greeted Sojiro, who was still running the cafe. We hurried upstairs so as to not disturb his business. Akira rested the Mona-bag on the table and Morgana came out of it. I sat down on the sofa and Akira moved towards me.

"So, what do you want to do?" Akira asked me, as he ran his fingers through his hair and looked out the window. I looked at him, and then at Morgana.

"I don't know. What do you guys feel like doing?" I replied, as I laid down on the comfortable sofa and closed my eyes.

"Why don't we watch a movie? We found one when we were cleaning the room the other day." Morgana suggested as his tail wagged from side to side and he purred. Akira and I nodded, but we decided to have a bath first, so we all headed to the bathhouse near the cafe. We went our separate ways and each one enjoyed our bath time, though Morgana just stayed near the lockers cleaning himself as he waited for us. Once we were done, we returned home. Sojiro had already closed the cafe and was on his way home. We changed into our pyjamas and prepared the movie, then we sat on his bed. It was dark outside already, so we took advantage of that and switched the light off, enjoying peace and quiet while watching the only choice of a movie we had at home.

Akira and I started watching the movie apart, with Morgana sitting between us. I was hesitant about holding his hand or leaning on him. Although I could read him like a book most of the time, I was unsure of whether or not he would be comfortable with that while peacefully enjoying a movie. I would glance over at him and try to reach for his hand, but ended up retreating it every time. Even Morgana noticed and was looking at me with an angry face, his tail and eyes just judged me, practically saying "just do it, it's pissing me off already!". While I was building up courage, just a little bit more, Akira laid his head on my lap and closed his eyes, he was already feeling sleepy. Morgana jumped as he was not expecting that and my face went completely red as I stared at him, amazed. I tried muttering out his name as I carefully got my hand on his head so as to brush his hair softly.

"It was cute seeing you so frustrated." He laughed as he turned around to face me. I pouted and mouthed an angry "shuddup!" as I looked at the TV and Akira stared at me. He smirked as he looked at my flustered expression.

When the movie finished, Morgana was fast asleep, curled up in a ball as his tail covered his eyes. Akira was still awake, though he was super tired. I went to turn the TV off and returned to bed. Akira laid his head on his pillows. I didn't feel like going to the sofa and just went to sleep next to him, grabbing Morgana and placing him on top of Akira.

—————- At the exhibit —————-

When we all walked inside, we realized the place was crowded. No one had expected that except for Ann, who knew what the artist was capable of doing. We were then greeted by Yusuke, who looked at Ann and I in delight and quickly glared at the other boys, unhappy to see them. He offered to be Ann's tour guide for the exhibit to talk to her, and then Ryuji, Akira, Morgana and I were left to decide what to do. Ryuji just felt like leaving as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I was able to convince him to stay. Akira considered looking around and Morgana wanted to stalk Ann and Yusuke, to make sure his crush wouldn't just slip through his fingers in merely two days. 

We were all just standing around when Ryuji spotted Madarame talking to the media and the boys decided to listen closely while I went to enjoy the exhibit. Ann returned to the group while I contemplated the paintings. Yusuke saw me and walked in my direction, standing next to me while I eyed one of the various paintings.
