Persona 5+ X Reader

Yusuke x Reader

Your class was being forced to go to the art exhibit by your teacher for your current assignment. While your class was groaning and ignoring the teachers lesson you took it upon yourself to explore. While wandering the exhibit you noticed that there was one painting with no crowd. The people who came to look were not impressed and gossiped about it being a disappointment. You walked toward the painting and read the title "Desire?" You tried to figure out the painting when two boys approached you. "Another patron has arrived." The blue haired boy says. "Oh, are you the painter?" You ask. "Yes. My name is Yusuke Kitagawa. I would like to hear you opinion, what are your thoughts on this piece?" Yusuke wears a confident smile as he asks the question.

"What do I think?" You stare at the painting, trying to collect your thoughts. "Hm...I think the colors used are good, and the painting itself looks cool and all, but...Well, I mean the name "Desire" is so overused that it makes the painting boring. Also its called "Desire," but I don't understand it." Yusuke clicks his tongue at your answer and crosses his arms. "I don't paint for the sake of other's comprehension. This is how I choose to interpret the idea of "desire." It's obvious that you do not have an eye for art!" You don't let Yusuke's words bother you instead you continue your thoughts.

"That's it right there! Theres no feeling. Your trying to interpret your "idea" of desire, when you should be painting your true feelings of desire." Your words catch Yusuke off-guard. "The term "Desire" is overused, but the reason people can continue to use it in the art world is because they include their own feelings of true desire. It doesnt feel like you put any emotion into this painting, you just drew what you think desire was. Haven't you ever wanted something so bad that you would die for it? You crave it, you would do anything to have it, that feeling is desire." Before you can say more your teacher calls you over. "oops, I gotta go. Next time you decide to paint, try putting more emotion into it. I'm sure you will create a masterpiece if you do!" You hurry back to your class.

"No feeling? Perhaps she was right... I haven't captured desire." Akira cheers Yusuke up and they leave. For some reason Yusuke couldn't get you out of his mind. He thought about you the whole week wishing to meet you again. Finally a miracle happened. You had bumped into Yusuke at Meiji Shrine.

"You..." "Oh hey Yusuke. What are you doing here?" You show off a bright smile as you ask. "I came to prey for money, and maybe to find inspiration for my next painting." "Inspiration?" You turn your head slightly as you ask. "Yes. I've been stuck in a slump for awhile now." Yusuke hangs his head in shame as he tells you his problem.

"If you find something interesting would that help you?" You grab Yusuke's hand in a giddy manner. "Well I suppose..." Yusuke tenses at your touch. "Then let me help you! Hang out with me today, Lets find something to inspire you!" Without waiting for an answer you drag Yusuke around the city.

He didnt have any friends beside the phantom thieves so being with you was a refreshing change for him. He was enjoying his time with you a lot and his heart had been beating rapidly the whole time.

Both of you were exhausted by the end of the day. You had gone to the planetarium, Inokashira park, Chinatown, and Harajuku. Yusuke had so much fun with you that he had invited you out for the rest of the week. Everyday you went somewhere new with him, hopping to help him get out of his slump. Yusuke however forgot all about his slump and was focused only on you. He wanted to spend all of his time with you, whenever you would leave his side for the day all he could think about was you.

Yusuke had fallen in love with you and everyday he hopped that you would fall for him as well. He did everything to try and impress you, but nothing seem to work. He started to crave your being with him, he wanted you to know how he felt. He wanted nothing more than to be with you, he wanted you to love him back. it was almost like he was going crazy for you. He "desired" your love... Finally it hit him.

Yusuke had invited you to the art exhibit, excited to show you his new piece. There was a painting that had gathered a huge crowd, when you finally made it to the front of the crowd you saw it...

The painting that had formed this huge crowd was a beautiful painting of you untitled "Desire of the heart." Your mouth hung open as you turned to face Yusuke.

"I still have much to learn, but I finally painted something that I can be satisfied with. This is my true feelings of desire." Taking your hands into his, Yusuke continued. "You are what I desire most in this world." Raising your hands up to his lips Yusuke gentle kissed your fingertips. "I love you (Y/N)."

You were as red as a tomato. You didn't know what to say. "T-to think you painted me so beautifully. I can't believe it." You gave Yusuke a small smile. "I merely painted what I saw." Your heart felt like it was going to burst any minute. "This is how you see me!?" You heard people say how the girl in the painting had looked like a beautiful goddess, so pure and innocent.

Yusuke let out a small chuckle "I know it must have been troublesome, dealing with me. But I would like it if you decided to stay by my side forever." Yusuke's grip on your hands had tighten, showing how serious he was. Giving him a loving smile you shouted, "Of course!"
