Arsene Is A Hopeless Romantic, Pass It On.

arsene is a hopeless romantic, pass it on.

Oh, definitely. Both from the original books and as Joker’s Persona. I guess that just means the leader of the Phantom Thieves is a real romantic at heart himself since Arsène is a reflection of who he is inside. That’s always been canon to me personally.

hi I have a request!! how about akira being sleepy/groggy after a clinical trial with takemi, with the side effects of the drug making him feel really tired…and clingy too. reader is already at Leblanc when he comes back and waiting in his room bc she had brought a movie for them to watch. but of course they don’t end up watching the movie and he decides that her chest would be the perfect pillow and place to fall asleep on. she is a bit flustered but melts into the cuddles and pets his hair while he sleeps. /)//w\\(\

Taking your seat on Akira's bed, you couldn't help but shift a little in anticipation as you stared at the floor entrance of the stairs, waiting for your quiet and ever hardworking boyfriend to walk up.

The two of you had planned for a movie date today, where you'd be the one to pick the film and your boyfriend would have his home-attic reserved for you to watch together. Akira had texted you beforehand that he would possibly be running mildly late, so you could get a head start in arranging the setup.

Sojiro had allowed you to stay to wait for the young man as he began preparations for closing the café. He had long since trusted you two in being rationally responsible for whatever activity you'd do alone. So he left the small establishment some time ago with the closed sign switched and a locked door on his way out. Akira would reopen it with his spare key.

Looking out the window, evening had began to roll in. You went to playing on your phone to pass the time when you finally heard the sound of a lock being undone, signalling his expectant arrival.

The noises of footsteps drew closer, albeit slow and lazy as a familiar mop of messy black curls and trademark faux glasses came to view as Akira trudged up the stairs. They were all a part of his look in keeping a low-profile regarding his unjust criminal record.

"Treasure..?" Akira's soft baritone voice called out to you; carrying a pleasant relief and relaxation underlying his calm tone.

Your face instantly changed into a fonder and gentler look towards your boyfriend. As nonchalant and reserved as he behaved, he had a serious romantic and sweet side of himself that he'd bring out to you in private.

Akira's sharp, stormy eyes were slightly half-lidded, posture a little hunched, even with his hands in his pants pockets, showcasing his drowsy state after a tiring day. And considering that another way you've spent time together aside from dates and group hangouts, was helping each other with errands and such. You understood the amount of work he had to do as the leader of the Phantom Thieves, including 'strengthening his bonds', as he previously explained it to you.

Akira had opened up to you about his unique ability, which was different compared to yours and the others. The power of the Wildcard, where the strength of his multiple Personas depended on the strength of his ties with the people around him. So doing clinical trials with the gothic doctor was a way for him to form a bond with her. He never delved too deeply on the topic, but it made your heart light knowing that Akira trusted you enough to talk about this part of himself. There were even times where he confessed to sometimes feeling alienated from the Thieves.

You were always willing to hear what Akira had to say to get whatever pressure he needed off his chest. Including lying together on his stiff, makeshift mattress atop of those crates as you freely conversed about anything, cuddling on his couch, or spending other moments such as these.

"Aki," you say, standing up from his bed to make way to him. Your brows furrow slightly at his clear exhaustion, just what ragged him out like this? Standing in front of him, you place one hand on his shoulder, the other to his cheek. Akira didn't hesitate to lean into your touch with closed eyes.

"Are you okay?" you made sure to keep your voice mellow. "What happened?"

".. Takemi."

Ah, that made sense. Akira volunteered months ago to be the test subject of Tae Takemi's, a back alley doctor in Yongen-Jaya, clinical trials. It served to benefit both parties: access to medicine for the Phantom Thieves, and research for the local doctor.

Though you did worry sometimes that the woman would push the experiments a bit too much on the noiret, even if she was licensed in the medical field. She did call him her 'guinea pig' after all, it made you a tad unsettled by that notion but Akira reassured you that he wouldn’t overdo it.

"C'mon.." you whisper, taking your hands to hold his. "How about some rest, yeah?"

Akira tried to straighten himself, doing his best to blink away the drowsiness. He must've had to put as much energy as he could to walk home. "No, it's okay. You chose a movie to watch, right? We can still set it up."

When he took a step forward, he slumped against your body. You didn't stumble from his action, and stood steady as you accepted his embrace. He didn't put all his weight on you though, just enough to hold you loosely in his arms. With your height difference, Akira towered over you, so you stood head-to-chest. That meant he had to lean down more to rest his face on your shoulder.

You deliver him a half smile, quirking one corner of your lips high with an eyebrow raised. "Think you can manage to sit through the whole thing?"

The frizzy haired male snuggled his nose against your neck in response, causing a sudden squeak to escape you from the sensation. Akira gave a light chuckle under his breath, you always were ticklish there. He knew he had to prove that he could go through the entire film, but that meant moving his body away from yours, and you were just so warm that he couldn't bring himself to leave.

"Let's just do a rain check, all right?" you stroke the back of his head, fingers brushing his soft tresses. "No objections. Don't think you can fight me on this."

"I think you've been spending too much time with Morgana.." Akira mumbled, giving you a light squeeze.

"You two are basically a package deal." you softly retort. "Being with you includes him, too, you know. Speaking of Morgana, where is he anyway?" looking at his bag that somehow still hung onto his shoulder, you saw no sign of the not-cat's whereabouts. He would've chimed in to agree with your sentiment by now.

"Futaba," Akira took a pause to lightly sigh. "took him home for the day for our date."

You hum, musing to yourself, "He did say he never liked being the third-wheel."

"Nope." eventually untangling from your hug despite his dismay, Akira stood on his own, mildly sluggish, glasses lowered to the bridge of his nose.

You shook your head with a sigh, reaching to take off his spectacles with one hand, "This way, Hero." the other went to grab his again and guided him to the bed.

Even snickering a little from the jesting nickname, Akira lazily followed suit. Once he sat down on the mattress, you stood in front of him after putting his glasses on one of the shelves nearby, he was still able to surprise you with his sudden agility. Trapping you in his arms, he brought you down with him, turning you to lie on your back while he laid on your front. But this time, he rested his head against your chest, body between your legs.

You immediately felt warmth spread your cheeks, which grew hotter when you felt his face press further.

"W-Wha—?!" you stuttered, face completely flushed.

"You're really warm," Akira sighed out contently. "and soft. I should do this more often..."

"Hol-hold on for a second..!"

You tripped over your words, unsure how to respond to that, much less what to do with your hands as they were raised halfway up from your shock.

"Sh-Shouldn't you change into your pyjamas? You can't sleep in those clothes..!”

"Just this once..?" Akira's sleepy voice begged, lifting his head to give you those endearing soft gray eyes. "You can spend the night, we don't have school tomorrow."

"It is getting dark.." you mumbled out as you looked out the window. "And I don't think I can bring myself to get up anyhow..." you sigh, cheeks still carrying a remnant of pink.

Akira's face brightened up at your words, "Then I hope you don't mind being my pillow for the night, too?" There was that cheekiness of his that came out to play. "You feel much better than a real one. Definitely a better way to wake up than having a cat suffocating you to consciousness."

Knowing he was serious about that last part, you grumble a little, lips pressing together in an almost pout before Akira swooped in to deliver you a swift kiss. It almost blanked your mind before you shook your head out of your stupor. "At least let me take off my bra, I can't sleep in it."

"Of course." he beamed. "That'd be even better." Akira quietly laughed when you answered him with a gentle shove, you couldn't bring yourself to actually hit him, not matter how light. And it wasn't like nakedness was a novel thing between you with how far and committed your relationship was.

Shifting to let you take your shirt off enough, he chose to rest his head back down beside your torso, letting you do what you needed to do without making any glances. He was a gentleman, after all. And you wholeheartedly trusted him.

Once done, you were only able to put your bra on the shelf with his glasses because of your limited reach. Grabbing a hold of his blanket you draped it over his body, which covered you, too.

Resting back to your bust gain, he rubbed his head side to side with a pleased sigh. And despite all your fluster, you feel elevated regarding his relaxation. Your hand went to pet his hair, running over his messy tresses as he listened to the sound of your heartbeat like a lullaby. It thumped fast from the beginning before going more steady.

“.. I don’t mind how our date turned out.” you murmur.

“I don’t either.” he says back, tone just as quiet.

Hearing Akira’s breathing slowly going even, you knew he was falling asleep. So you presumed to continue stroking his head as your vision slowly faded as well, soon succumbing to the realm of dreams along with him.

Hello. Sorry for my late response, i’ve been quite sick recently and just didn’t have the energy. Anyways, as for my writing blog I am not focused on one fandom for the most part. I like fluff bc it’s easy and i don’t mind angst. Though since i like writing hcs the most idc what im writing. I suppose if the form is easy everything else comes together. But my personal favourite is hurt/comfort (reader giving, character receiving) and some good bittersweet romance. I guess that's mostly bc I like writing for my faves and I can't see them in a 100% healthy relationships for the most part, at least when canon takes place. That has me curious - what relationship dynamics do you like to write? And what tropes do you like your x readers to fall into?

-🦚

Well I’m making a late response myself, I’ve been busy caught up in other things. I definitely prefer writing healthy relationships. I’m not into the dark ones: manipulation, gaslighting, toxicity, etc, sure it’s a part of real life but that doesn’t mean it’s good or morally/ethically right for anyone.

And my tropes just tend to go with what I want to do, though writing a slow burn, for example, would be hard because I wouldn’t have that much patience. I’m not into the enemies-to-lovers and forced proximity trope. I like that my character list fits into the open minded category that doesn’t go against their personalities. The star-crossed lovers shtick isn’t my thing either, though I don’t mind the angst so long as there’s a happy ending, but I’m not sure I could pull off writing something like that smoothly. There’s a lot of don’t’s here but it’s a start of what I stand by.

Hi, this is not a request. I just wanted to say I have read Entwined Hearts and I am in love with it. I like that you didn't make the reader a Mary Sue Character and I love the interactions she has with everybody so far, especially Akira. I am new to the Persona series and have only just started playing 5, so for characters I don't know, I just look them up. Is the boy who gave her the headphones the protagonist from 3? I hope you continue this story. Love from a new fan.

Oh wow, thank you! This is the first time someone’s mentioned my story and to see that you enjoy it brings a pleasant surprise. And of course, I would never depict Reader to be a Mary Sue, it would mean I didn’t understand what characters are supposed to be for in a story. And main character(s) are very important to viewers as they are the center of the plot. So it’s important for them to understand where the characters are coming from. Especially for a franchise like Persona, where flaws and personal growth are very important for the characters.

I always want Reader to act human, think humanly. Show her struggles, feelings and habits that are a part of her personality and who she is, what she’s been through, what she offers to the Persona franchise. And be introduced to something new and foreign, like romance, jealousy, relationship obstacles, perhaps thinking of having a different life from the one she has now and what she previously thought of. Reader has lived a complicated and kind of crazy past that makes her unlike any of the other characters in the games, I try to, at least. She identifies as a Persona user for so long that she doesn’t really see herself as anything else because it’s a world she familiarizes the most, compared to reality. That kind of makes her vulnerable in a way. Where, despite her strength, she still falls back into a state of loss, insecurity, helplessness, fear, and trauma. But also on how she perseveres and heals from them.

Honestly, ‘Entwined Hearts’ is the first romance story I’ve ever written. My one-shots, drabbles, etc, are different because there is no long progression from being strangers to friends to lovers. I don’t actually have any personal experiences with love except from what I’ve seen and read from TV/films, other fanfics, games, and more, so it’s an interesting challenge for me for sure. I certainly do try to make Joker and Reader’s interactions be something worth paying attention to every time.

And the headphones? Maybe, maybe not…

‘Entwined Hearts’ timeline is Persona 5 taken in present day, but I will include much more from previous games, perhaps even something for Persona 6 if that ever happens. Though of course I can’t input anything specific in case of spoilers for what I have planned. I do hope you like what the Persona series has to offer and that you might take interest in their hidden connected worlds with each other, or the individuality of each game. I really am continuing the story, it’s just taken me time to work everything out. I will have new chapters coming.

Hello. Are there any characters from pjo you don't write for? Also do you write for HoO characters as well?

-🦚

I’ve only just started with Percy because I was the most comfortable with him considering he’s the main character, so that meant I understood his personality the most. He was one of my most memorable childhood crushes since I grew up reading the series (PJO & HoO). The Readers will either have a specified godly parent or not.

I’m not really into writing about females (which is pretty obvious when looking at my masterlists). And to be honest, I’m not the biggest Annabeth fan considering her character, but that’s not the topic we’re focusing on. I am considering on the possibilities of writing for Nico and Jason, (Nico’s would probably have GN Readers instead of me making him bisexual, but I really don’t know). However, I’m still debating about going for it. Of course, my PJO/HoO writing are more demigod oriented, but you’re welcome to ask about any names you’re curious about. Thanks for the question.
