[Persona 5 x Yu-Gi-Oh! GX] Red Eyes In The Dark
Dorm-wise:
Osiris Red: Protag-kun, Ryuji
Ra Yellow: Yusuke I guess
Obelisk Blue: Haru, Ann, Makoto, Akechi
Girls automatically go to Obelisk Blue in canon. Futaba may be an official student or she just lives with Sojiro who in this AU works on Duel Academy Island.
This story uses Japanese terms for the GX side of things because I saw it subbed first back in my weeaboo days.
Ren has been on the island for almost a week. So far, he hates it.
His peers take the game Duel Monsters way too seriously. The guys in the blue coats are way too snobby and to be in the same room with any of them for more than five minutes is a test of endurance. Their dorm head is the snobbiest of them all.
The teachers and staff are all aware of his situation but his transfer two weeks into the school year and his novice level knowledge of the card game landed him in Osiris Red.
His dorm mates all knew how the rest of the school views them as the worst of pond scum. Some plan to work hard in order to move up into Ra Yellow. Some have given up on trying.
Nobody is sure with that Yuki Judai kid though. The first year seemed unconcerned about dorm politics and grades. It’s also rumored that he can see ghosts and that Professor Chronos really hates the guy.
Ren’s room mate, Ryuji, shrugged at this, “I dunno, man. There is an effing volcano on this island. There probably is ghosts from the last time it went off. Just don’t piss him off and he wont sic his ghost friends on you. Simple as that.”
“…Right,” Ren agreed.
“Hey,” said a voice by his feet. “Hey, Frizzy Hair.”
Ren looked down and saw a black and white cat with a pink bow on its tail looking up at him. He wasn’t aware there’s other cats on the island besides Daitokuji-sensei’s cat Pharaoh. He petted the cat and continued walking to class.
“Dude,” said a passing Ra Yellow, “what were you doing?”
“…Petting a cat?”
“What cat?” the boy stared at him with a weird look.
“You were petting the air, man.” Oh great.
“Gotta go,” Ren sprinted down the path to get away from the apparent ghost cat and judgemental freshmen.
“Dude,” said Ryuji, “do you hear meowing?”
“Hey!” called a familiar voice from outside the dorm room, “got any sushi?”
“No,” denied Ren, “I don’t hear anything.”
Ryuji sighed and leaned back in his chair, “Ugh, its probably from all this effing studying. I’m gonna go to bed.”
“I can hear you guys talking! Let me in!”
Ren suddenly woke up one night to a new weight pressing on his chest and immediately regretted it.
“Hey, Frizzy Hair,” said the ghost cat’s creepy red eyes in the dark room, “You asleep?”
“I was.” replied Ren, suddenly feeling annoyed despite the danger he was in.
“Good.” The weight on his chest lifted and Ren laid in bed wondering if he was still dreaming.
“Hey,” the cat hopped onto the desk.
“I’m trying to study,” grumbled Ren.
“You should go to sleep.”
“It’s not even 10 PM yet,” Ren pointed out.
“Sleep,” demanded the cat. Its red eyes flared.
“No.”
“GO TO SLEEP,” the desk light flickered.
“Holy shit, fine.”
“Good,” said the cat smugly.
