Danganronpa Imagines!

You were in the same situation that Hajime was in; you weren’t able to remember your ultimate talent.

But nonetheless, Nagito loved you all the same

I mean you were the only one that felt bothered to speak up for “worthless human scum like him” after all

You couldn’t blame him for the things he did though, you had always felt that there was something going on with his emotions

So you weren’t that surprised when you found out he had front lobal dementia

From that day forth, you were always by his side no matter how many times people (mainly Souda) questioned you

When he fell down with the Despair Disease, you were one of the first to be by his side, and the last to leave

So when Mikan was found to be the blackened, it was safe to assume you didn’t react like the others

Mikan was one of your closest friends and to hear that she killed your friends, you felt betrayed

Nagito was the one to comfort you after the trial, and that’s when he confessed

From that night on, you two were inseparable, and while some thought it was nice (mainly Sonia and Chiaki) others thought you were insane (Souda, Mechamaru)

Once Nagito found those files about the class, he was devastated to find that were you like Hajime, Talentless

His emotions were split, he couldn’t decide if he was angry or forgiving

So all throughout the trial, you could feel him on edge

Though he didn’t act the same way towards you as he did with Hajime, He still acted hostile

You kept pestering him after the trial, (after comforting Hajime and Sonia of course) but he gave no response.

So you literally had to corner him in his cabin to get him to tell you

He didn’t even speak a word to you, just tossed the file to you

Your reaction to this wasn’t like Hajime’s, it was much more silent

You just nodded and made your way to leave 

You couldn’t even take a step before he threw himself onto you 

He was practically in tears, explaining that he was lovesick all the while stuttering through his words

You were with him through everything, so he trusted you enough to tell you his plan

Not all of it of course (you know like the “whelp i’m gonna go get the traitor by DYING SEE YA”)

So when the others came to you to ask for help tying him up again, you were conflicted

However, you agreed to the plan

As you lead Nagito to the restaurant, your chest felt heavy, but you said nothing

Before you entered, you gave him a quick peck on the cheek

And the feeling you had was right

When he set off the bomb, you knew why that feeling was there

While he rambled on about his plan, you stood at a distance 

Throughout the last few days the others thought they had you grew more and more worried

You skipped out on investigating as much as you could, just so you could spend time with Nagito 

A lot of times it was on and off with him, but you expected it after all

One moment he was ignoring you, the next he was attached to you like a koala

The last moments you spent with him were him ignoring you

The only affection you received before he left was a kiss on the cheek before hugging you tightly

You returned the kiss of course, but you didn’t know that would be the last kiss you ever gave

It was 12 pm as you were with the others, putting out the fire in the warehouse

You were the one to open the curtain, hiding his body behind it

When you saw him, you just broke

You couldn’t smile anymore, you weren’t able to laugh anymore; you were just numb

You spent the investigation with Hajime, trying not to break down as you found clues

Your knees felt weak after you watched his final message and could barely enter his cottage

When Hajime pointed out the hoodie that sat folded on his bed that was when you broke once more

There were no screams, there were no aggression, all there were was silent tears, as you clung onto the hoodie for dear life

When the trial finally came, everyone could feel how broken you were

You were wearing the hoodie he had laid out for you, not saying a word throughout the trial

When Souda accused you of his death, you had to hold onto the railing to not crumble to the floor

You weren’t even able to defend yourself; the others had to defend for you

The first words you spoke after his death was to Chiaki, right before her execution

“I forgive you.”

Your words shocked everyone, but not Chiaki

She just walked forward and hugged you as you cried into her shoulder

She just handed you her hairpin before walking hand in hand with Monomi to the execution room

It was almost nighttime, a few days after discovering the 5th floor of the academy and finding some ultimate labs, although I wasn’t able to find my own. Shuichi had found his, however, and hasn’t left it since. At first, it seemed reasonable for him to be in there; after all it is his ultimate lab. It had gotten to the point where everyone had tried to get him to eat, sleep or even step foot outside of the room, expect me. So here I was, bringing Shuichi food after Kaito came to me, forcing me to check on him because he was missing training. Somehow I knew in the back of my mind that it was unlikely he’d come out.

I frowned, perhaps because I knew that he wouldn’t open the door. ‘If only Kaede were here. She’d know what to do.’ I thought, thinking about the blonde-haired girl. Taking a deep breath as I forced those thoughts from my mind, I approached the door of the room that Shuichi had seen for days. Letting out a breath I didn’t know I had, I gently knocked on the door.

“Shuichi? it’s (Y/N). Can I come in? I brought you food.” I said, hoping for approval to enter the room. I waited for a response but only silence came back to me. I leaned my head against the door, my ear pressing against it. All I could hear was breathing rather soft at that. Taking my ear away from the door, I take a breath before turning the handle. Opening the door to the room, I saw a sight I never had expected to see.

There was Shuichi, sitting at his desk, his head resting against it, using some file as a pillow. I smiled at the site, before setting down the food on a table near the couches that sat nearby. Using the fire that crackled behind me, I looked closer at Shuichi. I could see bags under his eyes, and his mouth was slightly open as he slept. I debated whether I should wake him, as he looked so peaceful. Not even questioning it, I left the room in a hurry, making sure not to disturb Shuichi.

I ran into the courtyard, and as I expected, Maki and Kaito were in the courtyard training. Maki quickly took notice, as I waved at them.

“(Y/n) what are you doing here? I thought Kaito sent you to check on Shuichi.” Maki said plainly, as I nodded. Kaito looked as if he was about to lash out at me, but I spoke before anything could happen.

“I need you two to help me with something involving him. It’s not much, but I’d figured you two would help me.” I explained to them, Kaito quickly calming down after I spoke.

“All right! So what do you need?” He asks me, pounding his fist into his palm.

“I’ll go get a few things from the warehouse, but can you two meet up in front of his lab for me? You also need to be quiet, I don’t want to disturb him.” I say, looking over to the warehouse.

“How about the three of us help get the things you need and that way we can avoid the idiot being too loud,” Maki explains, causing Kaito to refute Maki’s comment. I nod as we all walk to the warehouse. Quickly walking over to one shelf, I picked up a sleeping bag and a blanket. I then grab a pillow on another shelf and make my way back to Maki and Kaito, who are staring at me dumbfounded, or at least Kaito.

“You’ll see what these are for once we get there. Now come on.” I gesture to the exit as we all walk back to Shuichi's lab. I motion a finger to my lips as I open the door, once again greeting me with the sight of Shuichi asleep. Maki nods, while Kaito just stares at him.

“I need one of you to move him over to the couch without waking him up. I’ll set up the couch.” I whisper before they nod, making their way over to Shuichi while I make my way over to the couch. Taking the pillow and blanket, I set them up for a makeshift bed, before moving out of the way and setting the sleeping bag on the floor. Maki picks up the sleeping Shuichi and sets him on the couch, as he clings onto the pillow instantly, making my heart flutter at the sight.

“So what’s with the sleeping bag (Y/n)? Are you planning on staying here?” Maki asks in her normal voice, which isn’t loud to begin with. I can feel my cheeks getting warmer as I nod. Kaito seems to look pleased and pats my shoulder before leaving the room abruptly. Maki gives me a small smirk before taking her leave, leaving me alone with Shuichi. I sit down on the sleeping bag looking at Shuichi. Throughout my time knowing him, I haven’t ever seen him so calm.

It’s almost soothing in a way. Then a sound of a bell rang throughout the academy, signaling that it was nighttime. Looking over at Shuichi, I watched him as he tossed and turned. I frowned before standing and moving closer, hesitantly placed my hand on his. On instinct, he quickly pulls me closer and turns over leaving me a flustered mess. I could feel my heart beating faster, as I could feel Shuichi’s breath against my neck.

Trying to calm down, I closed my eyes and focused on settling my beating chest. It felt like hours as I drew closer to the depths of sleep. I was so focused on my breathing I didn’t notice someone had entered the room. I could make out mumbles in my drowsy state but wasn’t able to pinpoint who was inside. I guess somewhere in the back of my mind; I knew that it was Maki and Kaito, so that may be why I didn’t feel threatened. Knowing that, I felt my conciseness slip away into sleep, not even noticing the blanket that had been draped over the two of us.

Third Person P.O.V (Time skip to the morning because I can)

Everyone had met in the dining hail, expect Shuichi and (Y/n).

“Gonta worry about (Y/n). What if she..” Gonta trailed off as the students all knew what he had meant. For (Y/n) to disappear suddenly, it was oddly suspicious. Maki and Kaito exchanged glances across the room, knowing something the others didn’t.

“Don’t worry about those two they're fine! I sent (Y/n) to go check on Shuichi after all.” Kaito shouted as Maki glared at him. 

“Ooh so Shuichi and (Y/n) are fucking now?! What a twist, I never thought that permavirgin would get laid!” Miu laughed, earning disgusted glances from the other students.

“Shuichi has been in his lab since it opened, so we should check there. In case of anything bad that happens.” Kiibo stated, as all the students made their way to the Ultimate Detective’s lab.

“You all need to be quiet when we go in all right?” Maki stated to the students as Kokichi just laughed.

“Why would we take orders from you? I mean you're a killer after all!” He laughed as he talked, but stopped when Maki gave him a death stare. “Ok, I’ll be quiet..” He stated meekly before Maki opened the door to the lab. The students all piled in, as a few gasps escaped from the crowd. There in front of their eyes, were (Y/n) and Shuichi sleeping peacefully, arms wrapped around each other.

“Kiibo, use that function of yours and take a picture of this already. we can’t pass this up!” Miu whispered yelled as Kiibo nodded, committing the sight to his memory.

“I think we should leave them alone. We know they’re ok so we can leave.” Tsumigi explained quietly, as most of the students nodded, leaving the room one by one, leaving Kokichi in the room with Maki watching him in the corner. Kokichi smiled at the pair before turning away muttering something under his breath. After leaving the room, Maki made sure that everyone had left before closing the door and walking away herself.

(Shuichi’s P.O.V.)

‘Did I fall asleep while writing? How long was I out?’ I pondered as my body took in my surroundings, as I quickly noticed my back didn’t feel sore which was normal to happen when I fell asleep while working. This happened more than I wish to admit, as I’m not good with taking breaks to care for myself. I then felt the warmth that was protruding from my side. opening my eyes, I saw that none other than (Y/n) was next to me asleep, their arms over me. Noticing my arms were also around their sleeping figure, I felt my the heat in my cheeks rise as I tried to lay as still as I could. I was facing the couch that the two of us laid on, so I couldn’t see anything else, nor did I know what time it is. I didn’t dare try to turn myself around, fearing that I’d wake them up. after what felt like hours of me staring at them as they slept they started to stir. Once again my cheeks rushed with blood, my brain running at miles a minute with thoughts. Their eyes opened as they met with mine, as they smiled warmly.

“Good morning Shuichi. I’m guessing you slept well?” They asked me, as I tried stuttering out a response. They just laughed and sat up handing me a hand as they did. I shakily took their hand, as we both sat up on the couch. They combed their hair out before looking at the center table and frowning. “I brought you food last night, but I don’t think it’d be enjoyable to eat cold. How about we go down to the dining hall and eat?” they asked me, before I instinctively shook my head.

“I have to finish something first.” I said before glancing over to the file that sat unmoved at the desk. They frowned slightly at my response but nodded.

“It won’t take long will it? I’d like it if you could eat something. You must be starving.” They said, before grabbing a sleeping bag I hadn’t noticed was on the floor. Luckily, I was about done with the file so I nodded as I made my way to the desk to complete it. As I finished up the file, they were cleaning up the couch and folding them before setting them nicely on the couch. I finished the last few sentences as they were rolling up the sleeping bag. I watched as they did, a smile grazed across my face. They looked back at me before a small blush lined their cheeks, a smile on their face too. They practically leaped from their spot as I started to make my way to the door, as they followed closely behind. Before we left the room though, they cupped their hand around my cheek and gave me a small peck on the cheek, leaving me a flustered mess by the door.
