Minato's breath echoed in the silence as Ryoji paused, kissed a line down his neck and tilted his face up, biting softly on Minato's ear.

"God," Ryoji mocked, "why- why was I spared? Why didn't my life end that day with my parents?"

Minato's hands tightened in Ryoji's shirt. "Stop," he breathed.

"But you like this," Ryoji chuckled, pressing his body closer and easing up on the knife, pressing against Minato and rubbing.

"I-"

"Letting the personas fill you because there was nothing else there. Letting them in and letting them dictate your actions," Ryoji's scorn was nearly tangible, "all the while thinking 'I don't want this. I don't want to feel these emotions... because they aren't mine.'"

"Ryoji-kun..."

"Because after they died, you were just a shell. Scoured clean and empty- perfect to hide me within." His voice had an echo- the innocent, heartless voice of Pharos, the knowing, malice-filled whisper of Nyx, and Ryoji. Ryoji who had embraced him as a friend and then, more.

"No."

"Yes," and he wasn't disagreeing. "Yes- deny me again, Minato-kun. Deny my existence and make it easier. Make me strong. Make yourself a part of me as you always should have become and rest. Stop fighting."

He was tired. So tired, and he realized there was some truth to the words Ryoji, who was not only Ryoji, flung at him.

"You're-" Minato breathed.

"Don't! Don't say it!"

He didn't know that voice. Couldn't see why Ryoji suddenly tensed and lifted the knife at something behind Minato's back. It wasn't important enough to stop, to deny this revelation and his desire- peace- at last, peace. He embraced Ryoji, embraced death, and finished it.

"You're not me."

Wow, anon. I never even considered Minato as a character this much before... this is awesome.

not OP anonymous February 10 2009, 13:59:43 UTC

that was really awesome, anon!

Re: 3/3 One Knife Cutting anonymous February 10 2009, 15:19:57 UTC

Wow, awesome! Yeah, I second the above anon that I've never really given Minato that much thought. D: Poor kid. But this was beautiful!

Re: 3/3 One Knife Cutting anonymous February 10 2009, 19:33:55 UTC

I agree with the other anons... This fic made me feel like I completely failed to understand Minato in-game.

Amazing, anon.

Almost brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you so much, this was written beautifully.

*pout* Only 'almost'?

XD Kidding, kidding! I'm glad you enjoyed and THANK YOU for requesting such an interesting prompt.

I don't remember anything in the P3 canon to suggest Minato had a subconscious death wish, but the idea that he might have suspected that would be his fate (Igor: Either way you have one year)- even wanted it- makes the plot so much more poignant for me. I thank you for that as well.

--that definitely is one of the best writings of Minato ever! very nice psychological eep-itude (I especially liked the bits of noticing Fuuka's absence) and such a spooky ending!

good work, writer anon!

not op either~ anonymous February 11 2009, 14:16:13 UTC

I think it's only me who think about angsty!Minato... ;A;

It's well written anon, and gosh.

I... really love it <3
