Persona 5: How Would Sophia React If She Found Out Her S/O Gave Her A Birthday Present On The Anniversary

Persona 5: How would Sophia react if she found out her S/O gave her a birthday present on the anniversary of when Ichinose created her?

You know I never really think about Sophia in a romantic context. To me at least, she's the adorable, innocent daughter that must be protected at all costs. I'll write this so the nature of S/O's relationship can be up to interpretation just in case.

(Gif not mine because no banner. Credit goes to original maker because the person who made the Blazblue/Uni gifs I used to use blocked me despite credit being given in the gif itself. What can you do, I guess.)

-Ever since the disappearance of the metaverse (again), Sophia hasn't been able to take physical form again, being stuck as data in someone's phone, whether it's yours, Ichinose's or Joker's.

-Futaba had since made upgrades to her program that allows her to switch between phones at will without needing the phones to be in close proximity at least. However a problem had recently come to light.

-Her birthday, or the closest thing she had to one was coming up quickly, according to her logs that Futaba had found. You wanted to get her... something, but that proved to be rather difficult since she doesn't have any way to take a physical form anymore.

-Some brainstorming with the help of Futaba was required. Thankfully she was up to the idea just as much as you. Sophia deserved something special after everything she'd gone through.

-Futaba has to pretty much work overtime, especially with being back in school to get it done, but against all odds she gets it done for the big day. And not a moment too soon.

-You text Ichinose's phone where she currently is and tell her to send Sophia over. The first thing she's met with once she loads into your phone is a new complete space which hadn't been there before.

-When she ended up on Joker's phone, she described the space as comfy, albeit rather small. Now it was practically a mansion. Futaba had made a program that essentially simulated the feel of a larger living space on your phone based off the data she provided on the interior of Joker's phone. With plenty of ideas from you on the design, of course.

-Her eyes practically light up like stars as she takes in the completely new digital landscape, completely in awe at the sheer scale and detail of it. There's so much to explore she never could've imagined possible on just a phone.

-She has no idea what this is for, you have to explain that it's a birthday/anniversary of creation gift for her. Sophia had of course heard of receiving gifts on birthdays but she wasn't "born" like everyone else, so she hadn't expected to ever get something. Especially something with so much effort put in.

-She doesn't really feel that it's needed, but either way she can't express how thankful she really is that you cared about her enough to go this far to do something nice for her.

Holy shit, dude

Happy early birthday and good luck with the requests 🫡

I respect your dedication

I sure hope so. This is me at 11:40 pm on April 21st, 2024 doing the last request.

Request (Pokemon): Dawn and May's S/O's surprise them with not only a birthday cake, but a necklace that has a picture of thier starter Pokemon.

Gonna be honest, their personalities feel pretty samey even in the anime so sorry if this ends up feeling repetitive. Also I'm writing this at 11 pm-12 am.

Dawn

-Dawn had been practicing extra hard lately to improve her Pokemon Contest game. after a recent loss to a rather high ranked Contest Star and some encouragement from you, it fueled the fire in her to improve.

-On one hand you were a bit concerned for her health, but on the other you were still proud of what she was managing to do. So you decided to acknowledge that hard work (and hopefully get her to chillax a little) by doing something for her birthday that was coming up.

-You were thinking of potentially making a cake yourself, but you then remembered an ice cream place you went to a while back on one of your dates that had good reviews for their cakes as well, so you decided to give one of those a try. Something else was in order though, not just a cake. Then as soon as you thought about it, an idea hit you.

-Despite your moderate worry, Dawn's hard work does in fact pay off. There's a contest on her birthday and the performance she and her team give is nothing less than dazzling, easy winning over the crowd.

-You of course watch in person but after the show's over you text her to meet at your place. Once she arrives, she's met with her friends and family throwing a surprise party for her with a rather large cake. She half doubts the ability for everyone to eat it all even with so many of them.

-Presents and congratulations are given out liberally, all of which she of course treasures. However the most special one is from her beloved S/O. A locket keychain with a picture she'd taken herself the first day she got Piplup from Professor Rowan. One she'd treasure for the rest of her days.

May

-May had recently gotten into battling on the side. She thought that by practicing her moves in battles, she could improve her Pokemon coordinating skills.

-She certainly wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but she still had a long way to go before she reached her goal. Whatever that even was.

-Soon her birthday starts rolling around and despite being rough around the edges, she'd made some real progress. You wanted to commemorate that somehow.

-Cake was obviously mandatory. Nothing too big, you wanted a more close, intimate day out together. You decided making it yourself would help enhance that feeling. It's tough if you've never done it before, but you manage to get a decent end result.

-A gift would be necessary, too. Recently you'd come across a place that makes custom lockets that you could give them a picture to use, and you knew the perfect one. A picture you'd printed from your phone of her precious Torchic.

-It thankfully all goes well. You two spend a nice sunset in the park together sitting and talking about anything and everything as both your Pokemon play around together.

-The cake might not be the greatest ever made, but somehow food jus tastes better when eating with someone you love. Of course, the adorable Torchic necklace was metaphorical icing on it.

noel accidentally forgetting her s/os birthday and trying to do something last second

The poor, sad sap.

-A strange feeling had been weighing on Noel's mind for a while now. The feeling you get when you're forgetting something important but can't figure out what it is.

-She'd been trying to find something to help her relieve this feeling, and it came in the form of official documents.

-She'd been doing paperwork and came across personal info for a few NOL officers, including you. Taking a peek at your birthday, it appeared to be coming up this Friday.

-Oh no...

-It was Wednesday...

-Noel feels like having a panic attack on the spot upon the realization that she'd completely forgotten her own S/O's birthday up until now. It's...a while until she can breathe normally again.

-Her first instinct is to immediately go to Tsubaki and Makoto for help, there was no way she could do this on her own. Hopefully they can give some helpful advice.

-Makoto's first instinct upon learning that your birthday is nearly here is to go balls to the wall with a huge ass birthday party. Tsubaki has to bring her back down to Earth since there's not nearly enough time for that and everyone on base is too busy.

-The three spend a while bouncing ideas back and forth. Should she cook for you? Absolutely not unless she wants to murder you, but the others don't tell her that, just saying to put a pin on it for now.

-A ring? No, this is your birthday, not a marriage proposal. Some other nice piece of jewelry? Potentially. Fancy recreational place like a fair or concert that might be happening? Never can go wrong with that.

-Internally, the idea of sharing one of the poems she's written about you comes up, only to be quickly shot down. If you ever read one of her poems with knowledge she wrote it about you and for you, she would overheat of embarrassment.

-Eventually it's decided to be a fancy dinner at a place per Tsubaki's suggestion along with a special gift of a solidly nice necklace with your birthstone.

-Your jaw damn near drops once you show up to the place and you immediately feel guilty for indirectly making Noel feel like she had to go all out like this for your birthday. However she's surprisingly insistent that it's really no problem. How she managed to pull it off you don't know but if she's telling you not to worry in front of a such a nice place you're definitely not complaining.

-It's a good middle ground of being able to eat some nice food Noel provides you with while not instantaneously and haphazardly throwing you onto death's doorstep and praying to whatever God of your choosing that it doesn't answer. The impeccable atmosphere of a balcony view over the city of Naobi is also a very nice bonus.

-After indulging yourself in such fine dining that would give you a heart attack on the spot if Noel had let you see the bill, she takes you over to a park nearby, taking in the fresh, crisp night air on a relaxing stroll. No one there, just you and the lady you felt so unbelievably lucky to call yours.

-And just when you felt you couldn't possibly by more lucky, Noel seemingly out of nowhere pulls out a gorgeous, custom made necklace featuring your birthstone front and center.

-You would've never guessed she'd put such a thing together in merely two days, even if she had some help, and you probably don't ever find out. You let her put the necklace around your neck before being unable to help yourself but bring her into a passionate kiss of pure joy, nearly taking the poor thing's breath away.

-Noel's caught completely off guard, embarrassed, and blushing like mad, but the smile on her face outshines any star you could look up and point to right now.

Happy Birthday, my man. You are growing right now :D Enjoy your birthday and here this. I don't know if this text emoji fit in for you to see full picture ⊹ ࣪ ˖🍰₊˚⊹♡

It looks good on my computer but kinda looks like a thumbs up on my phone funnily enough. In case it doesn't translate to post I have it screenshotted. Much appreciated, my dude.
