Here's a picture of Yu Narukami from Persona 4.

While exploring the other side of the TV, Yu and the rest of the party encountered some troublesome enemies. They looked like creepy hairy creatures coming out of a jar, floating like ghosts. They mainly attacked with status ailments. After an arduous fight, the party figured out that the enemy was weak to status ailments too. They easily wiped them out by casting poison on them, which for some reason made them vanish the moment the spell was cast on them. But Yu decided to use a spell that caused CHarm on the enemy. Instead of getting charmed, the enemy just disappeared and transformed into a card. But before Yu could decide to keep it as a persona or not, it just broke into pieces,and the pieces flew into Yu's body. Yu didn't thought too much about it, it was weird, but they've encountered weirder things during theiri investigations.

After a tiring day fighting shadows, the party decided to depart to their homes. Yu and Yosuke staying behind to discuss a few things. Yu didn't feel anything, but Yosuke...he was feeling something "new" towards Yu. For some reasone, he thought Yu was looking a bit more...charming than usual? Yosuke couldn't help to blush a bit lost in his thoughts, until Yu gave him a curious look towards him, since he was able to notice Yosuke's blush. Noticing this, Yosuke snapped out of it, shook his head and slapped his face. All embarrassed, he decided to just leave on his bicycle, just saying "G-Goodnight, partner!" while riding away...and crashing into some trash cans a few squares away from were Yu was. 

Yu just answered with a wave ...until suddenly, he could hear the sound of glass shattering, and a gentle hymn playing in his head. This wasn't any normal occurrence, it was the feeling of the bond with one of his friends gettins stronger...but this one was different...it felt like the bond grew beyond their max strength! The energy from this feeling felt like a surge of power inside Yu's body. After all, the stronger the bonds with his friends become, the stronger he becomes...but this was different than usual, instead of just mind, his body also felt physically stronger. After analyzing this feeling for a while, he noticed it was getting too late, so he decided to head back home.

Once he arrived, he was able to find his uncle Dojima watching TV with his daughter, Nanako. Yu walked in, leaving his bag and shoes close to the door, and decided to join them to watch TV. One thing he noticed, is that both Dojima and Nanako were staring at him, not in a weird or bad way...but more like curious.

Dojima suddenly felt really weird looking at Yu, somehow, he started to admire much more all the good things he's done after he arrived in this town, how people really like him, how helpful he is, and how easily he can make friends. He was really proud of having a nephew like him. Though the more he looked at Yu...the more handsome he thought he looked? Dojima just shook his head, and said outloud "Man, I must be really tired...", and kept on looking over at the newspaper.

Meanwhile, Nanako already felt a lot of admiration towards her "big bro" before...but now she was even MORE proud of her big bro! She couldn't help but to get up and glom on Yu, giving him a nice hug. Yu surprised by this, asked if anything was wrong, but Nanako just answered "Nope! Just felt like hugging you, big bro~", happily staying close to Yu. Yu just smiled down at her, until he once again felt that feeling again...but this time, it was with the bond between Nanako and Dojima. It seems like both their bonds with Yu became even stronger than before, and with that, the surge of energy also started coursing through his body...but this time, the feeling was much stronger and noticeable, probably because two bonds were maximized. Yu could feel his point of view rising, and Nanako looking even smaller than before. He could also feel his body filling his clothes even more, to the point they were feeling kinda tight, and started making some slight tearing noises.

Nanako was also able to feel his big bro becoming, well, a bigger bro. "Big bro, I think you should stop going to those specials at Aiya's, it seems like you may be gaining some pounds..." She said as she poked at Yu's belly, which was surprisingly hard because of Yu's growing abs. "Oh I'm sure it's nothi--" Yu tried to explain, until he could hear a loud *riiiiip* on the back of his pants. Yu swiftly got up, making sure to grab Nanako (Who felt much more light than before) to not push her away, and gently put her down on the floor. "I-I'll be going to bed now, goodnight" Yu said while bowing and heading to his bedroom, it could be heard that Yu hit his head on the door frame while getting into his room. Both Nanako and Dojima were really confused with the whole thing, but both concluded that Yu must have had a long day, and didn't want to bother him with questions.

Meanwhile, Yu sat down on the sofa in his room, a bit nervous with the whole situation. He proceeded to take off his clothes to examine his body. While taking off his clothes, he could hear his jacket also ripped on the back...

Once he took them off, he was really surprised...he was fairly fit thanks to the club activities at his school...but now he looked like he was part of a "bodybuilding" club. His muscles were much more defined and bulkier than before, giving him a nice  lean physique. He couldn't to flex a bit and bounce his pecs, looking at his reflection on the TV. 

Once he had a little fun with that, he took some time to think about what was going on. He remembers that Yosuke was looking fairly...attached towards him today, well, even more attached than before, since Yu was no dummy and could tell from Yosuke's body language. He also noticed the looks from Dojima and affection from Nanako. With how much more affectionate they have been towards him, and how he's felt the "Max Social Link" surge of energy several times, it seems like he's been able to make others feel more attached to him...but how?...then he figured it out, the weird shadows they had to fight! Once the card of it got into his body, it seems like he's been able to "charm" others more easily. And he guessed that also involved making the effects of raising Social Links even more powerful and notable in his body...

After figuring that out, he decided to go to bed. He tried to put on his pajamas...but they ripped the moment he put them on, so he decided to just sleep in his undies. Laying down, he looked at the ceiling, thinking about how much longer he'll have this ability...and also how much bigger he could become...Then he remembered, tomorrow is Halloween! It may be a nice chance to have fun with his friends...and to experiment with his newfound power. He closed his eyes with a slight smirk, fantasizing on how much bigger he could become, how much stronger he could become, how much more dependable he could be with so much power, and how much easier it would be to fight the shadows.

The next day, he decided to spend most of the day and afternoon excercising in his room, he wanted to give his new strenght a try. Doing squats, puch ups with a bunch of books on his back, and even some pull ups with a bar he installed after a friend from another city suggested the idea. He noticed that he also grew taller, since when he tried to reach some books, he had to stand on the tip of his feet to reach them, now he could reach them easily standing normally. He felt great, he couldn't wait to show his new body to his friends.

Once it was already time for Halloween, he proceeded to put on his Vampire costume. Thankfully, it fit fairly well...kinda tight, and he couldn't close the collar of his shirt, but I mean, he was used to keep the collar of his clothes open. After he was ready, he could hear the bell of the door. It must be Yosuke that came to take him. 

Before opening the door, he made sure to lean on the wall, trying to look "sexy" to joke around in front of Yosuke. Once he opened, Yosuke, dressed as a werewolf, proceeded to say "Hey, partner! Ready to go--Woah!" He jumped out of surprise, noticing how much taller Yu was, and the shirt didn't leave much to the imagination. Yu chuckled at his reaction, and said "Ready to go?~". Yosuke covered his face, trying to hide his blush, and a bit of nosebleed, "Yeah yeah, let's just go...". Yu was able to tell Yosuke was blushing, and just smiled at his reaction, and proceeded to pat Yosuke's head. Everything was normal, until Yu felt a surge of energy once again, and he grew a few inches taller and wider once again, making one of the buttons on his shirt fly towards Yosuke's face. "Ouch! What the hell man! Seems like you're hitting puberty once again...make sure to buy some bigger clothes, you oaf!" Yosuke shouted before walking away for Yu to follow him.

Yu, confused once again, checked his body. Could it be that he can get bigger just by spending more time with his friends?...A smirk appeard on his face, and proceeded to follow Yosuke with some mischievous thoughts.

They were on their way to the shopping district, Yu's pace becoming faster with his bigger legs. To the point it felt that Yosuke was kind of slowing him down...Looking forward to see what will happen if he has more of his friends around, he approached Yosuke, lifted him and kept him between his arms and chest! "Hey what the hell! Put me down!" Yosuke shouted and was red out of fury and blushing, but his shouting fell to deaf ears, Yu kept going with a smile, going to look for the rest of his friends.

They got to Junes, finding Teddie dressed as an angel. For some reason, the first thing he did when looking at giant Vampire Yu, he jumped in his arms and said "I want a ride too!". Yu just nodded at him with a confident smile, and went to their way to look for the rest.

Yu was right, the moment Teddie looked at him, he could feel his body growing bigger. His clother becoming bigger, and his shirt ripping on his back. 

The more friends he gathered, the bigger he got. After getting Kanji, who was dressed as Frankenstein, Yu just grabbed him without questions, and Kanji went from flailing and shouting, to quiet and embarrassed by being covered by Yu's growing muscles. 

This time, Yu's shirt bursted from the surge of growth of Yu's muscles, and his pants disintegrated with the growint tree trunks that surged under them. Yu's shoes also exploded from Yu's behemoth-sized feet. Yu couldn't care less about his clothes, we was feeling too happy and proud of his body, and how much his friends like him, walking down the street, leavind cracks on the floor, with a big smile on his face. 

This Halloween, it wasn't about collecting candy, it was about collecting friends and growing the biggest!...And then get some candy~ haha

So in the picture, Yu already has Yosuke, Teddie, Kanji, and Naoki too, since he's also a friend of his. It seems like Yu also found Adachi, who in his head is saying "What the hell to they feed to these kids nowadays?!". I mean, Yu sees him as a friend, so maybe Adachi will grow fond of him if he brings him along too. No one's safe from the Social Link Vampire~

Hope you like it and Happy Halloween!
