Just Stay

Summary:

Several months have passed since Ren Amamiya and his friends had once again put an end to another false god and their plan for world domination. Before Ren would return to his hometown once again after a long summer road trip, a certain someone would meet up with him for one more day together...

Notes:

I'm not the most experienced at writing romance but I put all my efforts into crafting this short story about one of my favorite pairings. I wrote it to work into the narrative of Persona 5:Strikers/Scramble as I enjoy stories that feel like they canonically happened. I hope you enjoy reading it!

Work Text:

The sunlight beamed down on Ren, reflecting off of the lenses of his glasses as he entered into Shibuya station, getting ready to head back to Leblanc. He stopped to grab a drink at a vendor and leaned up against a pillar. Morgana popped out of the bag to rest his little legs on Ren' shoulder.
"So...tomorrow is going to be the day huh? It's a shame we have to leave those guys once more. I am glad to see they all have their lives planned ahead of themselves. Even Sophia and Ichinose are off on their own journey. It's pretty heartwarming in a way." Morgana said.
"Mm. Sure is." Ren murmured as he sipped on his drink.
"Better snag some good snacks to take on the way home too. And we'll get to enjoy the Boss's delicious cooking one more time too! Mweheh! I'm sooo looking forward to his farewell dish."
Ren chuckled while he finished his drink. He tossed the cup and was about to head for the train to Yongen-Jaya when a familiar voice would ring out and reach his ears;
"Ren-kun!"
The voice came from the other side of the large open area, piercing through the other faded voices crowding the airspace of the station. He turned to find the source of the voice. His eyes opened wide at the sight of the voice. Short dark brown hair, red eyes, wearing tight, black leather pants, black slip-on shoes, donning a black cropped leather jacket with a white shirt underneath...the voice belonged to Makoto, whom was approaching Ren at a steady pace passing by the the various pedestrians wandering around. His jaw slightly agape, Ren stood in place as Makoto walked up to him. She rubbed her arm as her piercing crimson eyes gazed into his own.
"Hey. I...I wanted to come see you in private after we all disbanded at the station square." She spoke softly. 
"M-Makoto?!" Morgana squeaked. 
"Hello too Morgana. Um, I hope you wouldn't mind but...is it okay if we...spent some more time together before...you have to leave tomorrow?" 
Ren was quite speechless, not expecting this surprise visit from her. A warm smile waned across his face as he brought his hand up and gently grazed his knuckle across Makoto's cheek. Her cheeks felt warm, blushing from his touch.
"I'd love to." Ren said, nodding. Makoto giggled with excitement.
"I'm so happy to hear that. We still have the rest of the day to do whatever we want. Why don't we go somewhere fun?"
"Let's expand our horizons at the aquarium shall we?" 
"Sounds great to me."
Ren took Makoto's hand and the two waltzed off together with Morgana sliding back down into the bag with a smirk on his face.

 Ren pointed at the fish swimming around in the aquarium. Thousands of the sea creatures, large and small, all flourshing within the massive tank. Makoto glared in awe at the beautiful sight. She continued to grip onto Ren's hand tightly, not letting go once since they left the station.
"I know you've taken me here once before but...it's crazy just how much they've added to this place. I swear there's more fish species here then before, back in January." Makoto stated. "I don't know how you manage to find these places that seem to slip under my radar. I should bring sis here sometime. Even if it is more of a date spot." A chuckle escaping her lips.
"It is beautiful. Just like you." Ren said.
"Heh. You're so corny Ren-kun...but I love that about you. Why don't we go look around some more. I don't want to leave just yet."
The two wandered around watching the various exihibits for some time. Each area offering a new experience for them to observe and even study. Makoto leaned against Ren's shoulder as they watched some dolphins swimming around.
"It looks like they're playing together. My, the denizens of the sea can be quite adorable. Apparently dolphins are among the most intelligent of mammals. Quite interesting." Makoto stated.
"They fascinate me that's for sure." Ren replied.
"Maybe you should be a marine biologist Ren-kun. Since you're unsure of what to do in the future."
"Deep water scares me though."
"So fighting shadows and gods doesn't make you even flinch, but the thought of the deep sea scares you? You can be quite bizarre you know that? But then again...I feel the same way. Maybe you should stick to perfecting coffee and curry instead."
"I did leave Tokyo with Sojiro's teachings after all." The two shared a laugh together before moving on.
After some more time had passed the two found themselves back at the entrance. The sky above had already started radiating a shade of orange, signaling the sun setting.
"Well...we do still have some daylight left but it's technically the evening now. What would you like to do Ren-kun?" Makoto asked with a sunny expression on her face. 
"Hmm..." Ren pondered for a moment. Then an idea sparked in his mind. "Let's go to the jazz club." He suggested.
"Oh that place! I haven't been there in ages I completely forgot about it! I took sis there once or twice after you left though. Huh. Well, I'd love to."
Ren lead Makoto to the train and rode it all the way to Kichijoji. The two walked quietly hand-in-hand glancing at the various stores and stands all alive with activity.
"Kichijoji is so much more lively in the evening. All the little food stops and tiny bars. I dread to think of how many people drown their sorrows in alcohol here every night." Makoto stated. "Well, I'm not one to judge others. I'm totally okay with whatever fruity non-alcoholic cocktails the jazz club will serve us."
Ren nodded in agreement as they rounded the corner and made their way for the stairs leading down to the club. The dark-skinned man in black shades waved to the both of them.
"Welcome. What will it be tonight?" He spoke in a smooth, deep tone.
"The special for us." Ren replied.
"Comin' up. Please take a seat anywhere that's empty."
"Thank you." Makoto replied and followed Ren to a small table with four chairs. They sat in two of the chairs close to one another. "Finally we can rest our feet. We were standing and walking around that aquarium for hours." The man approached them with two colorful cocktails and placed them on the table.
"Fizzy cocktails for the lovely young couple. Enjoy." He said politely then walked away. Passing by the man was a dolled up older woman in an elegant black dress, approaching the microphone on the stage next to the grand piano.
"My. These look delicious. Oh? Wow...there's a singer tonight huh? What a coincidence. You didn't have anything to do with this did you?" 
Ren just smiled and nodded at her, patting his bag before setting it down onto the floor. 
"Spending more money on me huh? It's almost like you planned to take me out on this specific night. Heh. I must be the luckiest girl in the world to have someone so caring by my side." Makoto giggled as she sipped her drink together with Ren.
The woman at the mic started to sing as the backing music started to play softly from the surrounding speakers all around the club. Her soothing voice singing soulfully through the mic. Both Ren and Makoto were entranced by the music and taking in the moment.
"The drink is really sweet. I love it. And the atmosphere...you really know how to win a woman's heart Ren-kun."
"I knew you'd enjoy it." Ren replied.
The music continued to with the singer woefully bellowing out the somber lyrics softly and gently like a songbird.
"This has been quite the crazy past couple months huh? You know...it was a bit of a struggle having to hide our relationship from everyone during the entire road trip. Oh...sorry for grabbing at your leg again in that lab..." Makoto's cheeks turning a bright shade of red as she spoke.
"Just like at Sojiro's place. Good times." Ren replied sharply with a snicker.
"Don't remind me please. I do appreciate you being so calm and collected during both of those times. I truly did find someone reliable I can lean on sometimes. If only I didn't scare so easily."
"It's cute."
"I see you smiling. I know you think it's amusing. But, I'll get over it eventually. Especially if I want to become an officer."
"You'll make a fine police officer. I can't wait to see you in uniform too."
"Of course you can't. That won't be for awhile though sadly. But you'll be the first person I tell besides sis once I finally join the force."
"I'm looking forward to that day."
Ren sipped his drink alongside Makoto quietly for a moment, savoring the taste and sweet flavor of the fruity drinks.
"Hey...Ren-kun?" Makoto murmured shyly.
"Hm?" Ren glanced up at her.
"When...will I get to see you again after this? The thought of having to be away from you again is the worst. I just wish you lived here. Long distance is certainly a pain."
"Yeah...Christmas by the way."
"Huh?"
"I'll see you at Christmas."
"R...really? You sure you don't want to spend it with your parents?"
"I'd rather spend it with you. They understand."
"So you've told them about us?"
"I have."
"Oh? That's...that's so sweet of you. I wish my parents could still be here. I would've loved to introduce you to them-"
Ren extended his arms out and took Makoto's right hand, cupping both of his hands over and under her palm. Her eyes widened, glancing down then back up to him.
"They'll be watching over us when I take you as my wife..." Ren murmured softly, smiling at Makoto. Tears started to well up in her eyes from hearing his soft-spoken words.
"Ren-kun..."
The two stared into each others eyes for a brief, silent moment. Ren then reached a hand up to Makoto's cheek, pressing his palm against her skin and leaned forward to kiss her lips softly. She closed her eyes and lifted her other hand up to the back of his head, rustling her fingers through his messy hair.
Ren broke the kiss and wiped the tears from Makoto's eyes and stroked a finger down each cheek to wipe the streams from her face. He sat back and tilted his head.
"Why don't you come to Leblanc with me? Stay one more night together." He suggested in a sensual tone. Makoto nodded instantly.
"Yes. Yes, I'd love to. I don't want to leave your side until you...have to leave. Don't let go of me Ren..." Makoto replied sheepishly, gripping his hand tightly. The two finished their drinks then got up to head for the station and catch the train for Yongen.

 The alleys of Yongen were quiet and nearly empty. A soft breeze blowing in the clean, crisp air, rustling some leaves on the ground beneath Ren and Makoto's feet as they approached Leblanc. Ren held the door open for Makoto while she stepped inside with him following right behind. The booths remained empty. The only sound coming from the television playing the local news. Behind the counter smoking a fresh cigarette was none other then Sojiro. His ears perked up from the ringing of the bell and getting his attention. A warm, wide smirk across his face as he saw his guests enter.
"Well well, who do we have here? Came to do some studying together before he leaves tomorrow?" Sojiro said with a hearty chuckle.
"Hello there Boss. Um, well we-" Makoto replied.
"Ah! Say no more. We're closed anyway. Last night here after all, right?" Sojiro reached for the remote and shut the television off then walked around the counter and up to the two of them. "Ren, lock up for me, 'kay? You kids enjoy yourselves. I'll see you tomorrow morning bright and early." He winked before stepping past them. They both turned and watched Sojiro leave the store, turning the open sign and vanishing from sight. They then exchanged glances and looked ahead at the stairs leading upstairs.
"Well...that was awfully nice of Boss. Does he think that we-?" Makoto said before being interrupted again.
"Shhh. Let's head to my room, shall we?" Ren interjected with a finger pressed against Makoto's lips. She just nodded in response, smiling. Ren was aware that Sojiro knew why he brought Makoto over for his last night in Tokyo, wearing a perverse smirk across his face as he lead Makoto to and up the stairs to his room. He set his bag down on the perch. Morgana popped out of the bag and glanced at the two;
"I know you two want some time alone. So I'll just leave you kids alone for now." Morgana stated as he jumped off the perch and disappeared down the stairs. 
Ren then lead Makoto over to the bed, placing his hands on her hips and glaring into her bedroom eyes. She grabbed the collar of Ren's shirt and pulled him into a kiss. Ren shuffled down onto the bed, taking Makoto down with him now laying over his body with her legs split over his waist. Her hands shuffled down to the crotch of his pants, undoing the button and unzipping his fly before removing her leather jacket and tossing it aside to the floor. Ren broke the kiss to lower his hands down and pull his shirt off, tossing it behind him then grabbing Makoto's shirt and helping her pull it off, tossing it over her shoulder. The two breathed heavily as they sat there for a brief moment, Makoto reaching around to her back and undoing her black lace bra, dropping it onto the floor beneath her. Ren's eyes were taken aback by the sight of her small but perky breasts.  
"Take me Ren-kun..." She murmured in a hushed tone, pressing her hands against Ren's toned chest, pushing him down onto the bed. Ren wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her close in his embrace, kissing her deeply with her bare chest pressing up against his. He ran a hand up the arch of her back to her neck then up to the back of her head, running his fingers through her soft hair as he constricted his tongue around hers. To tease him further she grinded her ass against the bulge uprooting in his crotch region. She broke the kiss and sat up to look at him.
"My my...someone is just as aroused as I am." She giggled whilst undoing her belt, throwing it onto the floor and standing up, turning around and sliding her leather pants down, wearing black laced panties matching her bra. Ren poked his head up, using a finger pressed to the middle of his black-rimmed glasses to adjust them. 
"Damn..." He murmured under his breath.
"Hm? You like what you see? I know you were staring at my butt on many occasions during our road trip. I figured you'd want to see it in full view...without the pants of course." 
"I...-" 
"Yes?" Makoto smirked, glancing at Ren behind her shoulder and giving her hips a little shake.
"...Uh. Well I..."
"It's okay Ren-kun." 
Makoto turned around and got on top of Ren, reaching down and unsheathing his erect cock with a single hand and gently stroking the shaft. Her eyes shifted view from his erected member to his own, speechless at the sight of her crimson bedroom eyes as his jaw remained agape.
"Speak with your unsheathed dagger Joker...I've been waiting months for this moment...and I don't want you to hold back on me..."
Ren reached up to grab Makoto's waist while she shifted upwards to position herself over his erection then slowly shifted down. She closed her eyes as Ren's hard cock slowly penetrated her pussy. Makoto let out a squeak with Ren quietly grunting. 
"Ohh...i-it has been awhile...since we've done this..." Makoto stammered, her whole body shuttering as she slowly rode his cock. She let out a series of sensual moans with each passing second. Ren reached his hands around and grabbed her thighs, making her jump and eyes open wide. "Y-you know my thighs are...sensitive Ren..."
"That's the best part." He replied snarkly with a wide and perverted grin on his face. Makoto continued to stare into his eyes as she moved her hips in a certain rhythm on his cock, biting the bottom of her lip to muffle her shrill moans of pleasure.
"Yes...yes...this feels...s-so good..." Makoto murmured. "...months of being alone...without you or your embrace...I-I must have...had these feelings...all pent up inside of me..." 
"I know I did. I've been wanting this too Makoto..." 
"O-oh...?!"
"Hey...get up for a minute."
"Huh?? O...oh, okay..." 
Makoto lifted herself up, sliding off of Ren's hard, throbbing cock. He sat up and grabbed Makoto's shoulders and turned around, bringing her along and pushing her down onto the bed next to where he laid. Pinned down, Ren examined her toned, hourglass figure, only fueling the raging lust inside of him as the blood was rushing down to his member.
"R-Ren! Y-you...what are you doing??" Makoto asked in a surprised tone, her eyes gleaming, cheeks flushed red from being in such a vulnerable position.
"I'm taking over now my queen..." Ren murmured sensually, thrusting his cock right into Makoto, penetrating her body once more with mild force. She let out a cry of pleasure while Ren pounded his crotch against hers with each and every thrust. 
"Ah! I-I-I didn't expect you to be so...f-forceful. B-but it feels...so good...oh Ren!" 
Makoto moaned loudly as Ren plunged his callous, rigid cock into Makoto repeatedly, the wet sounds of his penetration only drowned out partially from her moans. She gripped the sheets of the bed underneath tightly, her wet lower lips now clentched down on the shaft of his penis as it strode in and out with more forceful thrusts. Sweat beading his forehead, n euphoric feeling flowed through Ren with the sensual moans and warmth and softness of Makoto's pussy satisfying his raging sex drive. Makoto's eyes were closed and her head tilted to the side, embracing the immense pleasure of Ren's solid hard cock rocking her sweaty body.
"Harder! Harder!" She cried out through her moans. She had even Ren surprised with her energy compared to the last time they made love. And he was enjoying every second of it, craving her body as he stroked her bare shoulders and gazed intently at her petite breasts bumping ever-so-slightly with his thrusts.
Ren could feel a climax rising soon. Having gone so long without any physical interaction with Makoto, he was anxious knowing he wouldn't last too much longer inside of her. 
"I...I don't know...how much longer...I'm going to last Ren..." Makoto exclaimed as she moaned. 
"Let's...keep going...as long as we can my queen..." Ren replied through his grunts. He slid his hands down under Makoto's legs and lifted them upwards to hold them in place. Makoto's moans only grew louder with his touch. Makoto was already close to climaxing as the area under her pussy had started to moisten from the arousal as small streams of cum had dribbled down her skin. She bit the bottom of her lip to help soften her now constant moaning. Ren's thrusts had grown more intense, the tip of his penis hitting the upper region inside Makoto's pussy. Each hit of her most sensitive spot only aroused her even further. Her back arched up along with her arms. She then grabbed Ren's wrists in a hurry, Ren reacted by dropping her legs down. She sat up, her head tilted back and wrapped her arms around him, digging her nails into his back along with clutching her legs around Ren's waist. Ren embraced her in return. She cried out with a loud, long moan as she finally came. The tip of Ren's cock pressed against the upper area of her pussy with her juices soaking the shaft and drizzling out from the lower lips and drenching her and Ren's crotches being pressed together. Ren closed his eyes, gritting his teeth and tilting his head forward, releasing his seed inside Makoto. She arched her back then leaned inwards, pressing her head up against his.
The two of them breathed heavily, bodies drenched in sweat, drained of all stamina so they took a moment to relax. Ren slowly opened his eyes, with Makoto's lower body visible in his sight. He smiled and moved his head up, running a hand up her back to run his fingers through her messy but soft hair. 
"That was...amazing Makoto..." He spoke softly. She looked up with her eyes opening up to see his greeting hers. She couldn't help but smile brightly at him.
"Ren...oh Ren..." She purred in a soft tone, softening her grip on his backside and kissing his lips. He took in her kiss deeply with passion by massaging her tongue with his for several silent minutes, enjoying the sounds of their wet lips making contact.
After sharing a long and passionate kiss together, the two adjusted themselves with Ren pulling his cock out followed with a string of cum. Makoto's face was flushed with a shade of pink as she glanced down at her crotch.
"I...I think we both need...to take a bath now..." She exclaimed with a giggle.
"Bath house should be empty at this hour...let's go together." Ren suggested, adjusting his steamed-up glasses.
"H-how rebellious of you. Heh. Well, I can't say no to that. Let's uh...put our clothes on first. I...I'll just have to do my laundry a bit early this time..."
Ren lead Makoto over to the bath house across the street from Leblanc. The place appeared to be empty, a sign of relief to Ren. The two stripped down in the locker room then walked over and stepped into the steamy bath together. 
"The water feels amazing. But um...are you sure we should be doing this? What if someone comes in and sees two people of the opposite sex in here together?" Makoto asked.
"We're fine. Neighborhood is dead asleep anyway." Ren replied.
"If you say so. I hope you're right."
"Just...relax for a bit."
Makoto nodded closed her eyes, her head tilting back as the steaming warm water soaked their lower bodies. Ren couldn't help but admire her figure even with her lower half submerged in water. 
"Hm. Don't you ever change Makoto." He murmured under his breath, closing his own eyes and letting his body relax.

 The following morning arrived with sunlight peering through the windows above the bed. Ren's eyes creaked open and tilted his head to the side feeling a soft breathing. His arm was draped around a sleeping Makoto wearing nothing but one of his black shirts, her face right next to his and her arm resting on his bare chest. He cracked a smile, running his hand gently over her head, fingers stroking through her messy hair. He remembers leading Makoto back to his room from the bath house and laying down to relax only to pass out. 
He felt around to find his phone laying on the opposite side of where Makoto lied and turned the screen on to check the time. It was still early. He had some time to spare before he would have to get ready to leave the city. Since it was still early, Ren gently shook Makoto's shoulder in an effort to wake her up. It took some shaking but her eyes slowly opened followed with a shrill yawn.
"Hey you." He whispered. She glanced up to meet his loving gray eyes. 
"Ren-kun..." She replied softly with a smile, pressing her hand to his cheek and giving him a kiss on the lips. "...waking up next to you couldn't make me happier."
"I could say the same. You look cute in my shirt by the way."
"O-oh! I...I forgot I just threw this on before we went to the bath house." Her cheeks blushing a shade of red.
"Today's the day. But...it's early. So we have a little time before Sojiro gets here."
"We do? Well..." Makoto ran her hand down Ren's chest down to his crotch, rubbing the bulge she felt, making her giggle. "...someone seems to have a case of the 'morning wood' this morning, hm? Heh."
Makoto shuffled herself under the covers and over until she was laying in-between Ren's legs. He titled his head up to glance down at his body.
"H...huh? What are you doing down there Makoto?" Ren asked.
"Relax Ren-kun...I'm just...relieving you of this issue." Makoto murmured from under the covers. Ren felt his cock being unsheathed, followed with the gentle stroking of Makoto's soft hand around his shaft. 
"Oh..." He twitched as a pair of wet lips pecked the tip of his penis then the warmth of a mouth as Makoto stuck his cock in her mouth and started to suck on it. Ren closed his eyes and laid his head back down, gritting his teeth from the immense arousal. Makoto's tongue wriggled around the shaft and licked the tip while she softly blew him off. "...that mouth...and her tongue..." Ren muttered under his breath. Makoto's lips were wet with saliva, wetting down his shaft like a street pole soaking in the rain. She was silent and kept her eyes closed, letting her tongue do all the work as it slithered snakelike around the tip and shaft of Ren's throbbing hard cock. Ren clenched his fists, feeling something building up from the blood rushing down to his member. He gasped and started to cum inside of Makoto's mouth. She pressed her hands on his legs, swallowing the load of wet, warm fluid ejaculating from the tip, moaning from the sheer amount she was gulping down.
"S...sorry..." Ren exclaimed and releasing his clenched fists to relax them. Makoto lifted her head up, sliding her lips off of his cock and wiping her mouth. She then crawled up his body and poked herself out from under the covers, chest pressing up against his as she looked into his eyes with a delicate smile.
"Heh. It's okay Ren-kun. Hope that felt good." Makoto said with a wink. She crossed her arms down on his body, resting her chin on them. "You know...it'll be awhile before we see each other again. I...I'm really grateful to have spent these past several hours with you. You not only satisfied my body...but also really warmed my heart. I...don't like that we'll have to go our separate ways again..." 
"Makoto."
"...yes, Ren?"
"Let's move in together...after I graduate."
"Huh?? Are you, actually serious?"
"Of course. I want to spend the rest of my life with you Makoto. Move in...get married...and go from there. That way, you'll never have to leave my side again."
"Oh Ren...I would love to! Yes let's do it! We'll have to plan everything out, but I am dead serious when I say that I want to spend the rest of my life with you too..."
Ren embraced Makoto and the two shared a long, passionate kiss together. 

 After getting dressed, the two went downstairs to see two plates of curry and two cups of coffee waiting for them at the counter. Sojiro greeted them with a warm smile.
"Morning lovebirds. Why don't you have something to eat before this guy has to leave, yeah?" He said.
Ren and Makoto exchanged glances, nodding in response to Sojiro's generous offer.
Once their appetites had been satisfied, Ren and Makoto walked outside and stood out front of Leblanc, a gentle breeze blowing in the warm summer air.
"So...it really is goodbye this time. What a wonderful past day it has been being with you. Um...here, I want you to have this Ren. I kept it in my pocket all this time." Makoto said, pulling out a small necklace that resembled the one draped around her neck.
"It looks like yours." Ren stated, taking the necklace in his hands.
"I wanted you to have a matching one of mine. I read somewhere that couples will wear matching jewlery or accessories to resemble their shared, unbreakable bond together. Now, while we're separated...we'll still be together. And these necklaces prove that. I also intend to pester you with texts every day to check up on you. I-if that's okay..."
"And I'll always reply. Thank you, for this."
"...you're welcome, Ren. I love you."
"I love you too Makoto."
Ren wrapped his arms around Makoto's waist to pull her in for one last kiss. She pressed her hands against his chest, taking in the kiss for a good long minute before breaking it.
"Well...call me as soon as you get back, okay? I'll miss you so much..." Makoto said with a smile, wiping a single tear from her eye.
"I'll miss you even more. And I will call. I promise." Ren stated, smiling back.
Makoto then stepped back and turned around, glancing at him one more time and waving. Ren waved back to her before she fully turned around and started walking away, heading for the station. 
It was time to leave Tokyo once more. But Ren kept Makoto close in his heart, now donning the necklace she gave him as a souvenir of his personal time spent with her. Sojiro stepped out to lock the door, holding his car keys on him as well.
"You're one lucky guy to have a woman like her. Won't be surprised if I hear wedding bells in the next few years or so. Well, stay in touch with her every day okay? I know you two are hurting having to separate once again. But don't worry. Once you graduate high school...then you can start planning your future with her. Now c'mon. We have a long drive." Sojiro explained, patting Ren on the shoulder.
"Right. Thanks Sojiro." Ren replied warmly. With his bag slung around his shoulder, Morgana popped out and rested on Ren's shoulder as they quietly walked away from Leblanc, knowing this wouldn't be the last time they would see it and come back to Yongen in due time...
