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

They Know

Nagito's POV

A few minutes after (Y/N) left for the night, Fuyuhiko, Akane, and Nekumaru all came into the room to make sure I was still there.

"Where the hell are his restraints?!" Akane pointed out as Fuyuhiko walked up to me and angry shouted in my face, "What the fuck did you do! Do you think this is some sick game you bastard!? Why aren't you tied up?!"

I stayed silent, I didn't want to cause trouble for (Y/N).

After the 3 of them roughly tied me back up, I felt a fist strike my jaw. "Try to escape again and I'll do worse next time," Akane threatened. Nekumaru complimented her form as the 3 of them left me to my solitude.

I understood how they felt. That's the kind of treatment scum like I deserves. I laid there to sleep peacefully that night, almost happy I was suffering after (Y/N) left because I deserved it. Even so, a tear rolled down my cheek... almost happy? Is that true?

I feel so confused and conflicted. I would've felt honored to be slapped or even killed by an Ultimate just yesterday, but today it makes me feel heartbroken. (Y/N) wants to have a future with me, as I am, I'm not worthy. I carry the weight of what I've done with great shame now. I see now I need to face the consequences of my actions and try to make things right with the others. I can see how it effected them all and I know I can't take it back. Byakuya and Teruteru, I thought of them as necessary sacrifices for the sake of hope. But everywhere I turn, the outcome of my actions has been nothing but despair for everyone. I feel it too. I think that's all I've felt for a long time and I was desperate to feel hope again, even if it meant taking a life. I feel so confused, I've felt that way for so long, but from (Y/N)'s words I can tell she thinks all life is precious... even mine. I'm starting to see things the way she does. Of course, it's a long road, especially for believing in my own life's value. But, I have to stay alive for her, I have to be here with her. I'll do my best for her. She came in filled my heart with warmth and hope so easily, almost as if she knows exactly how.

(Y/N) POV

The next morning when I arrived at the dining hall everyone looked concerned.

"(Y/N)!" Hajime called out as he rushed up to me. "Nagito was untied last night, we got him tied up again but was he like that when you found him?"

Fuck. Well.. I mean he wasn't like that when I FOUND him.

"No, is he still in there?" I said, playing dumb.

"Yeah, and since you fed him yesterday I think you're the best shot of getting info out of him we have since maybe he trusts you more. Here," Hajime handed me a tray of food and water, "Find out how he was able to free himself."

I gave him a nervous smile and walked into the room they kept Nagito in. My heart stopped when I laid my eyes upon him, it felt like I was just struck by Cupid's arrow.

Baby! AH did I just call him that in my mind >.<

His face completely lit up when he saw me, "(Y/N)! You came back! I was getting kinda worried you regretted kissing me yesterday and wouldn't come back.."

I sat down, next to him and hugged him, even though he couldn't hug back. "I'm glad I kissed you. In fact, I'll do it again." I said as I leaned in and softly placed a loving kiss on his lips. I stared at him for a second and felt my cheeks overcome with a sudden heat.
