I decided recently to continue my Persona 3 fanfic. I wrote the first part 4 years ago, figure why not revisit it? I just love this series, and this picture I found is related to what I am going for in the fic.
It is a Minato (Male MC) / Akihiko fic, but I wanted to also emphasize a relationship between Minato and Yukari. Yukari is one of my favorite characters and she got so much shit back in the day. I wanted to focus on a relationship that is warm, friendly, but still headstrong on her part. Minato is a little homie gay ass, and Yukari is there to get him on the right track. They hold hands and other affectionate touches but I wanted to make it clear that this was just how they shared spaces together. A little bit of physical intimacy without the needs and expectations of a full blown partnership is healthy to me. Holding hands, pecks on the cheek, etc. It's about how much you trust that person, and in my experience, touch helps me build trust.
I dunno. It's Persona, it's a bad series, I get it. But I love these characters and always have. Plus fanfic is a fun activity and more people should do it. Just write stuff, we are all cringe and that's ok. To be cringe is to be free.
