Ultimate White Lie

Preparations.

A/N note: sorry for the delay, I just needed to fix a few things before sending it. 

POV CHANGE: (Leon)

"You have my word." That was the last thing that Y/N declared to us before slamming the door shut. I was shocked to say the least. Y/N, the guy who has led us this far, helped me not to let anger take over, killed. I personally don't care that he killed. Yes he killed one person but saved 1,000 people because of it. Plus the person he killed was a bad person, I mean come on, a person who holds the key without wanting to defuse it isn't really a good person. Unless he is lying about the whole thing, but I trust Y/N. He has done enough to gain it, but it seems that not everyone agrees with it. Some people have a look of horror that he killed and is in this game with them.

"I can't believe that! MY BRO WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT!" Mondo shouted trying to defend Y/N's name. I don't disagree with him, but he said it himself that he has.

"I want to believe that too, but he said it himself didn't he? He Confirmed that he had killed before." Hagakure said sadly. Did they not get that he saved others by doing it?

"Y-yeah, but didn't he save a lot of p-people because of it?" Toko defended Y/N which was a surprise. She did bring up a good point though.

"Does it make it right, if he killed to save others. Does that somehow justify killing?" Aoi asked, a slight bit of fear hidden in her voice. I don't like where this is going at all. At this point if this keeps going we would split up and not trust each other. This was the same thing Y/N didn't want. I started walking to the door to leave not wanting to hear this anymore.

"Hey Leon, where are you going?" Celeste asked curiously. This made everyone stop arguing if Y/N was good or not and turned to face me.

"I don't want to be a part of this... I get that he killed in his past but should we hold that on him? He has kept us all from each other's throats so far. This could just be another way Monokuma is trying to keep us from helping one another. Y/N, he has my trust, I get that killing is bad but he saved many people because of it. He is also HELPING US ESCAPE. So don't bother him with this, he already is probably facing some demons because of it. I'm going to make sure he's alright because if we have any chance at escaping this place, it's by him. Y/N will find a way out, he has given us hope so far, so why doubt him now? I know I won't, but what about you guys? Hopefully this made any clouded thoughts of yours clear. Goodbye." With that I leave to find Y/N. He isn't too far ahead so I just have to jog to catch up to him.

(Change POV- Y/N)

I started to hear footsteps behind me but I thought that it was my mind playing tricks on me. No way after that info dump is someone going to come find me. I mean at this time I have most likely lost the trust from everyone. Damn it Monokuma, you got me good, now how am I goin- is someone tapping on my shoulder? I turned around and was surprised by the sight. Leon right behind me out of breath. Was he running all the way?

"H-Ha... have I finally got your attention dude?" Leon asked out of breath. I guess I didn't notice because I was deep in thought. I give him a sad smile.

"If you're here to yell at me go ahead. I understand if you hate me now." I tell him grimly. Once I said that he looked mad. Yeah, mad would be what he would be after all keeping the 'secret' from them was bad. He raised his left hand and slapped me. It was a loud slap but I deserve it.

"SNAP OUT OF IT! Why the hell would I be here if I hated you? I would avoid you like the plague if I hated you. I don't care that you killed since you saved me. Does our friendship mean nothing to you?" He gave me one nasty glare, daring me to oppose what he said. I can't believe that I was this blind to think they would hate me that easily. I give him a genuine smile.
