Minato Arisato x Fem!Reader (P3)

"Woah, this place is really big on the inside." You said in awe as you stepped into the hotel. You along with the rest of the students looked around excitedly. "Did you think it'd be this nice?"

"Mm." Minato replied with a non-committal shrug. 

You elbowed him lightly with a laugh. "Come on, I know you're excited too!" 

A ghost of a smile rose on his lips at the sound of your laugh, but he kept his aloof expression. "I guess so." 

Ms. Toriumi informed everyone of what rooms they'd be staying in, and also the locations of the facilities such as the baths. Yukari lit up at this news, happy to relax after the long travel time. 

Her good mood didn't last though, when Junpei jokingly followed behind her. She turned with a glare. "This is the way to the girls bath. You're going over there!" 

"Whoops, honest mistake." Ryoji raised his hands his surrender, and Yukari sighed in response.

"Ugh. Come on, let's go Aigis." And so Aigis dutifully followed. Seeing that Mitsuru and Fuuka went too, you waved goodbye to Minato. 

"Well, I'll see you later then!" You smiled, and jogged to catch up with Yukari. 

Now left with only the guys, Minato joined Junpei and Ryoji who were smiling to themselves. Akihiko raised an eyebrow confused. 

"What're you two smirking about?" 

Ryoji shook his head, feigning innocence. "Oh, nothing. We were just thinking of taking a bath too- you know, to freshen ourselves up."

"Yeah, nothing better than a nice bath before bed, right?" Junpei chimed in. 

Somehow buying it, Akihiko hummed to himself. "You've got a point, the water here is supposed to be good for the muscles." 

Minato sighed.

Now in the baths, it was hard to deny that the water was very soothing on the joints. But it was hard to relax fully seeing Junpei and Ryoji's attempts at holding their grins. 

Akihiko finally pointed if out. "Seriously, what is it with you two?"

"Nothing, Akihiko-senpai! We're just enjoying the water." Junpei answered. "It's sure been a long day, right?"

"Right. We're so tired, it'd only be natural we'd make some mistakes. Like going into the wrong bath." Ryoji added.

Akihiko's once relaxed shoulders stiffened. "You did what? This is the women's bath?!"

Ryoji remained smiling, only waving a calming hand. "It'll be fine, I'm sure they'll understand. It's just a simple mistake." 

"You don't understand, if Mitsuru finds us here- we're going to be executed!" 

Junpei chuckled at his seriousness, but it came out a little off key. "Executed? C'mon, it wouldn't be that bad..." 

No one else could reply, as the door slid open and rendered them silent. 

"You'll definitely be okay in hot water, right Aigis?" Fuuka asked tentatively. Her voice carried over the open bath.

"Affirmative. Although I cannot acquire its healing benefits." Aigis answered. 

Mitsuru was next to speak. "You can still enjoy the time here, can't you? We all deserve this chance to relax." 

Now realising the weight of their decision, the guys huddled behind the rock to hide. Junpei peered around, feeling slightly regretful. "They're all here, how're we going to avoid them?" He muttered. "Oh, and there's y/n- agh, hey! Get your hand off my face, man!"
