Danganronpa 2.5: The Butterfly Effect | NAGITO X READER (fem)|

The Game Begins

Nagito's POV

I followed Y/N around as we collected a few of those hope fragments Usami talked about. Y/N shined bright like the light of hope, I'm glad she wanted to be friends with someone as useless as me. Maybe she's really nice, or maybe it's just pity. Either way I don't deserve it.

"Did we collect hope from everyone?" I bashfully asked, feeling out of place among the rest of our class.

"Yup!" She answered with a cheery, wide smile. She looked like sunshine when she smiled. I adore her. She's filled with so much hope. I adore all these beacons of hope, I truly love the Ultimates.

DING DONG BING BONG
"All students, gather at Jabberwock Park in the Central Island." An unfamiliar voice announced over the intercom.

"Hm?" Y/N said curiously. "I guess we should go." She smiled and said with joy. Even when an unfamiliar voice asks us to gather together, she's still full of hope. She lead me by my wrist to Jabberwock Park and there we met the appearance of the Ultimate Despair.

*Time skip*
After Monokuma's introduction and announcement...

Y/N POV

I think I'm about to be sick.. my hands were shaking as I held my Student e-Handbook.

"A killing game..? no.. no no no nO NO NO NO" I began to spiral into a complete panic.

"This is a joke right?" Teruteru nervously asked.

"Yeah you've got to be kidding me I don't wanna die" Kazuichi added.

I looked back at Nagito nervously, he seemed to be lost in thought. "N-Nagito!" I exclaimed, breaking his focus.

He saw the fear in my eyes and in a completely calm manner as if he truly believed what he was saying, said "Don't worry, Y/N. Hope can overcome this despair, I can prove it."

He can prove it.. That means he wants us to stick together and band against this killing game.. he's right.

Nagito's POV

The look of relief in her eyes after I said those words meant we were on the same page. I'm gonna start this killing game to prove hope overcomes despair.

"We should get back to our rooms for now." I added in a soft tone, walking with her to provide comfort. She was almost glued to my side with fear as we traveled back to our cottages. Upon reaching hers, she paused. "...I'm scared. What if someone breaks in? What if I die?" she said, welling up with tears.

I pat her head, "It'll be alright Y/N. By the looks on everyone's faces, nobody's excited about this killing game."

"You're not scared?" she asked, looking up at me with big doe eyes.

It hurt me to see her spirit and her hope falter. I would do anything to keep an Ultimate's hope shining bright. "If you're afraid you can sleep with me in my bed tonight." I said without thinking

Her face turned red with rage as she grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and pulled my face in close to hers, "Do you really think right now is the time to say something like that?!!! Push your luck again and I'll give you the Ultimate Asswhooping." She let go and stormed into her cottage.
