Persona 5 Strikers Request: After A Long Day Of Work, Ichinose's S/O Surprises Her At Her Lab To Give

Persona 5 Strikers request: After a long day of work, Ichinose's S/O surprises her at her lab to give her a birthday present-A locket that has a picture of Ichinose, Sophie, and the S/O in it.

Hey this ain't a bad idea. A lot of character development would be needed though before she's anywhere near ready for a relationship.

(She kinda fine tho, ngl. Not my gif.)

-Ichinose probably never celebrated her birthday before. She never saw the point when she had far more important things to do.

-That was however until she'd made Sophia, and then later down the line met you. Despite everything, both of you still cared for her, seeing her as your family. She could never understand why, no matter how much she really did appreciate the thought.

-It eventually reached you that her birthday was here now, and she hadn't told you about it. And she'd already gone off to work for the day. You sort of expected it, as disappointed as you were.

-But you weren't going to let that deter you, you wanted to do something, even if this wasn't the type of girlfriend to like a huge party or go out drinking with her 10+ friends.

-Frankly, she didn't really do...much of anything outside of working and spending time with you and So- wait...

-Lightbulb.

-It really is the perfect gift idea for her. a locket with a picture of all three of you in it that Ichinose can carry around and look at whenever she's just not having a good day.

-She's quite taken aback she'd practically never gotten anything for her birthday before, even if it was somewhat her fault. She doesn't quite understand the meaning at first but she knows it'd be rude to not accept it.

-It's only a couple days later when she realizes. She's pulling an all-nighter and her work is beating her down. Almost naturally, she finds herself opening up the locket and gazing at the picture of herself, you, and Sophia.

-It...actually managed to make her smile. A real one.

Request (P3): For their birthdays, Minako and Mitsuru's S/O's give them a ring that matches their favorite colors.

Best girl bullshit, go.

-Even before you started dating Minako, it's not hard to figure out what her favorite color is. Pink manages to sneak into every single one of her outfits and just about everything she owns.

-You're pressed for ideas for whatever reason so you decide a ring with a nice pink gemstone is the best way to go here. A nice rose quartz or pink amethyst is...affordable enough.

-One the day of, you take her out to eat, wherever she wants, as long as the price is within reason. You're still a high school student.

-In general you two have a nice hangout date at the Paulownia mall, doing whatever catches your or her eye. When the day has blazed by and the sun sets, signaling it's time to head home.

-You manage to remember at the last minute that you'd gotten her something, making you call out to stop her before she heads to her dorm, only for her to turn around and see the ring.

-Minako gasps audibly, clearly not expecting something so intricate and beautiful, however cheesy it may be.

-Next thing you know she's got you in a hug threatening to expel all the air from your lungs saying thank you over and over again as if you're about to disappear if she lets go.

-She immediately puts the ring on and silently vows to herself to never take it off like it's some kind of wedding ring. Probably treats it like one too until you get her one for real someday.

-Mitsuru is...a lot harder to impress on a date at first glance. Having been born into wealth as massive as she has tends to give off that kind of vibe.

-Of course you know better than that, being her S/O but the pressure isn't entirely gone, unfortunately. It's pretty easy to get into your own head when it comes to someone like Mitsuru.

-You do come up with something though. You find a nice ring in a window display while walking home one day embedded with a very beautiful shade of red that immediately brings Mitsuru to mind. Perfect.

-You manage somehow to save up enough money to get the ring and all that's left is...just about everything else. Fantastic.

-You eventually decide on something she's never really had before, something only you can give. You admit you can never impress her externally with something fancy, so the best option is something more intimate, which she pretty much never got growing up.

-After school it's cuddling up in a blanket with an old classic movie she'd probably never heard of before. A very cozy atmosphere she'd pretty much never experienced before meeting you.

-Of course, to top it all off, your present her with the ring afterward. It's nowhere near as extravagant or photogenic as something she could just buy herself, but the fact that it comes from you makes it extra special.

She's much more reserved than Minako in expressing her thanks, but she is by no means any less grateful, the smile she can't seem to wipe off her face and the way she pressed her body further into you is clear proof of that.

Izanami's so trying to celebrate her birthday and teach her about the joys of doing it.

Man, phantomfield was right, writing for villains in any romantic context is not easy. I mean I already knew that but it gets so much harder with requests like these. At least she's hot.

-Technically Izanami was never born, being essentially a living Drive. The closest thing she has to a "birthday" is when she inhabited her physical body and manifested into the world.

-She had no idea why you seemed to take such interest in it, but did give you this date of April 22, as it was really the only answer she had. (the same day this comes out because it's my birthday, too. Living personification of death being born on Earth Day, how ironic.)

-Being her S/O, you only felt it appropriate to do something nice for her, however she may have felt about it, or more accurately lack of feelings on it.

-You set your alarm to wake up much earlier than normal so you can be up before Izanami, taking it upon yourself to make a nice breakfast for her. Normally there are people to do it for her, but you give them a little white lie and say you were taking over today per the Imperator's orders. No, it may not have been an order straight from her but she'd certainly never turn down a favor from you.

-The knock on your door and appetizing smell wake her from her slumber, telling you to come in before you present her with a breakfast in bed for her special day.

-She really doesn't understand why the day of her physical materialization was so important to you.it was a pointless celebration in her eyes, but if you're willing to pamper her like this she certainly won't complain, regardless of her understanding.

-You take the day to spoil her rotten in an attempt to teach her that birthdays are an important celebration to be had. You're much more stern with her than normal and tell her to not do a second of work, insisting that you do anything for her that she needs to ensure she's comfortable.

-You're really not sure what kind of gift you can possibly give her. She doesn't really have many, if any interests you know of and anything she wants she can just get herself. She is the Imperator Librarius, after all.

-You simply opt for acts of service. Any single complaint Izanami might have, you are quick to fix it and treat her to the best you can.

-She still may think celebrating a birthday is a waste of time, but if it means she can look forward to being spoiled by you on this day, maybe she can indulge in it, at least a little.

Request(Blazblue): On the day of their birthday's Makoto, Noel, Tsubaki, and Mai's S/O's back them their favorite dishes (Mai's S/O even asking Noel to help them cook for her).

I am so sorry if this gets repetitive, that's kinda how it goes sometimes for 4 character requests. Probably gonna be a bit shorter than usual.

-It doesn't take much to figure out what kind of food Makoto likes. Not only does her heritage make it pretty obvious but she's also quite the foodie in general.

-She doesn't have any particular favorite food but she is a big sweets gal, and of course being a squirrel, nuts are a personal favorite of hers. There are plenty of dishes out there that meet both those criteria, you have options.

-Eventually the idea you decided on was a chestnut parfait. Sweet, easy to make, had nuts, and had fruits to make it at least somewhat healthy. The perfect plan.

-When lunch eventually rolls around you head up to Makoto and present it to her while wishing her a happy birthday. Her mouth almost starts to water right then and there.

-She scarfs it down at record speeds that are frankly a bit concerning. She certainly enjoyed it though judging by her smile and the way her tail couldn't seem to stop wagging.

-As soon as she's done her arms wrap around you immediately in an enthusiastic showing of thanks. She's absolutely going to ask you for more in the future.

-Noel's not too much of a foodie, she absolutely prefers to cook instead of eat, much to everyone's dismay.

-However her birthday happens to fall on Christmas, so you have as good of an excuse as any to make something for her. A traditional Christmas dish could fulfill your needs well.

-You spend hours toiling away in the kitchen, making a nice, full meal for the both of you to enjoy. You figured it'd be a nice thing to do for both of you since work in the NOL has left you both unfortunately unable to go home for Christmas.

-Mercifully, your workload is at least greatly lightened for the day if not outright eliminated entirely. As soon as you're done with what little you have to do and evening comes you invite Noel over to your place, not telling her the reason.

-The first thing Noel is met with is a table filled with steaming hot food, leaving her unable to hold back her shock that you'd go so far for her.

-She doesn't know whether to kiss you or dig right in, however her nervousness gets the best of her and she opts to go for the food, which is by no means a bad choice. The effort and love you put into it really shines through.

-Mission success. Now all that's left is to pray to whatever God will listen that she doesn't get the urge to return the favor...

-Tsubaki is a sucker for chocolate, as much as she tries not to let it get to her. It gets to the point that Jin of all people worries about her in this regard.

-Her birthday just so happens to coincidentally fall on White Day, so you'd likely already be getting her chocolate anyway. The problem is having both occasions on the same day sorta ups the pressure on your part to perform.

-You eventually decided the best way to fill the criteria for both was via chocolate cake. You didn't want just some simple, easy cake from a box anyone could make, you knew she deserved better.

-Then you had an epiphany. You could indeed churn out something worthy of such a lovely lady. After spending a good amount of time in the kitchen you end up with a chocolate cake sweetened with condensed milk along topped with caramel and whipped cream. Surely this would pay off.

-Tsubaki's eyes light up as soon as she sees the fruits of your hard labor, even more so once she takes the first bite. She is practically in heaven. It felt like she was falling for you all over again.

(Can't believe it took this long to finally write for Mai. Though I'm writing this last minute on late night April 21st so what can you do lmao)

-It's rather tough for you to pin down what sort of food Mai would like considering her...complicated relationship with food.

-Whatever you do see her eat, it's completely mangled beyond recognition by whatever the hell Noel does whenever she cooks. You don't know, and frankly you don't think you want to.

-However this is going to turn out to be a nice boon for a change. Not being able to cook for Mai was a serious point of grief for you due to her supertaste, but with Noel around you can finally do so. She immediately agrees to the plan.

-After some discussion about what she typically makes for Mai and what she seems to like best, you two decide on a seafood pilaf. You'd make the base since you wanted to contribute at least something to the dish, and let Noel take it from there.

-Frankly it's a bit scary, leaving her with a perfectly normal dish and then getting it back looking like a weapon of mass destruction. This weapon of mass destruction though was all Mai could eat so you really can't complain. (Not complaining about Noel's cooking...what the hell have you come to...?)

-Mai's grin is practically ear to ear as she eagerly eats everything down, especially once she hears that both you and Noel worked on the dish. As far as she's concerned this is the best damn thing she's ever eaten, thanking you both with a big smile and hug. Being able to eat after what happened is always a treat.

-You still have no idea what Noel does to any food she touches to make it end up the way it does, but perhaps it's one of those mysteries that's just best left unsolved.

Request (Persona): Rise comes home from a tour to see her S/O and their kids have set up a birthday party for her.

Lowkey feel a little bad for any kids Rise might have. She'd be a great mom but can't be there as much as she wants due to her work.

-Chances are this was quite the miracle to actually have happen. Rise really had to put her foot down with her manager so she could be home with her family on her birthday and not spend it in some far off city on the other side of the country doing some event for it.

-As soon as you got the phone call from her saying she was able to come home, you immediately got to work. The kids were immediately in on the plan as you rushed to get everything set up in time.

-You unfortunately didn't get much forewarning so it's a race against the clock to get everything done in time. Having a couple extra pairs of hands proves very critical to succeeding.

-When she gets off the train you head over to pick her up, leaving the kids alone for a bit to make sure everything's perfect. Inaba was a perfectly safe town and it'd only be for about 10 minutes, you weren't worried.

-Once you're in front of the door you tell Rise to wait outside for a couple minutes while you go and get something. She's pretty confused but complies until you tell her from inside she's good to come in now.

-Stepping into her home for the first time in a while, the first thing Rise's met with is a huge cake and he living room decorated for a party you and the kids worked hard on, down to the last minute details.

-The gasp escaping her is one of pure joy as she holds her hands to her mouth and has to hold back tears. The kids are immediately trapped in her death grip, only being let go when she pulls you into the hardest kiss of your life, much to their simultaneous relief and dismay, which you and her have a good chuckle about.

-A traditional birthday party with her family is one she's wanted for a very long time, but just hasn't been able to have much, if at all due to her work. Just something between the people she cared for most in her life. The old IT members were great and all, but things tended go get...chaotic. sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.

-Best birthday ever.

Request: For their birthdays, Futaba and Malina's S/O's get them the limited edition pack of the newest video game that they've had their eyes on.

-It was only natural the Phantom Thieves would start organizing a party for Futaba's special day. Nothing too big, of course, for her sake, but a big ol' celebration at Leblanc certainly wouldn't hurt.

-Futaba hadn't really told anyone about it yet since she didn't have the chance, but she was really looking forward to a specific game for a pretty long time, and of course she wanted the limited special edition.

-She did tell Sojiro, but it was too expensive for him and a waste of money in his eyes. And of course she couldn't rely on a bunch of high school students to be able to afford it.

-So it's a pretty big surprise when the gift she opens from you turns out to be the very thing she'd been wanting. You'd seen her look at it online when you visited her room and knew that'd be something nice to get for her birthday.

-It wasn't easy, mind you. You're a high school student with other responsibilities just like everyone else. But you wanted to treat her for her first birthday as your S/O.

-The look on her face and the way her eyes lit up was worth all the effort as she immediately ripped open the box and put on the helmet that came with the special edition. That thing was not coming off for the foreseeable future.

-Malina...isn't a particular fan of newer games. She has a very pessimistic view of the industry as a whole nowadays. Whether you agree with that sentiment is up to you.

-One day you took her to a game store since you needed to play into her interests to get her out of the house. And you'd rather not have to deal with a drunk demon causing chaos at the bar.

-She's mostly pretty disinterested, being the huge skeptic that she is. That is though until something manages to catch her eyes. A remake, specifically.

-An old Heroes game had apparently gotten a remake without her knowledge, and a limited edition with downloadable DLC for some extra loot and characters was currently being sold, and on limited quantity.

-Seeing that her birthday was coincidentally coming up in a couple days, you saw no reason not to get it for her. She honestly didn't expect you to do something like that for her of all people, but she does appreciate it (though she's most tsundere tsundere to ever tsundere so you won't be hearing that out loud.)

-The two of you promptly head home and boot up the game, spending the rest of the night playing it until sunrise. Whether or not that was your intention.
