3A VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5337624/1/The-Shortest-Distance-from-A-to-B Fan Fiction]] written by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1861271/zero-damage zero-damage]], recounting the events of the game, starting in May, ([[SwitchingPOV mostly]]) from Kanji Tatsumi's point of view. While the general plot of the game is covered, the story primarily focuses on his interactions and slowly-fledging friendship with (and crush on) a certain Detective Prince. The Fic remains relatively in compliance with the game's canon (with a brief addition during the culture festival) until a significant divergence during the events of December.

8%%* CannotSpitItOut: Kanji, duh. [[spoiler:He manages to confess on Christmas Eve.]]
9%%* NeverMyFault: Naoto is guilty of this, [[CharacterDevelopment but does get better about it.]]
10* NoSocialSkills: Both Kanji and Naoto run into this problem a lot, Kanji becauses he tends to resort to threats and violence when things aren't going his way socially, and Naoto because she never lets her hair down [[IntelligenceEqualsIsolation and has trouble relating to people her age]].

12%%* Reality Ensues: [[spoiler: Two people with clashing personalities and NoSocialSkills get together? There are ''a lot'' of issues that come up, although they do their best to work through them.]]
13%%* StalkerWithACrush: Relatively mild case with Kanji.
14* TrueLoveIsExceptional: [[spoiler: Discussed, with Naoto reflecting that while [[TheAce Souji]] is the one with all the qualities that are supposed to attract her, it's BookDumb {{Delinquent}} Kanji she's in love with.]]
