The next day

Your P.O.V
After some short moments, we both decided that it would be the best to rest for tonight. I mean, it really was slowly getting late and it was probably the best to go to bed now that I would at least get a bit of sleep. 
I put off my shoes and so did he. He hung his coat onto a hook on the door which led towards his bathroom and stretched himself before he eventually laid down onto his bed, lifting up the blanket so that we both could lay down underneath it. 
When I eventually laid down next to him on his bed, I could tell he was somehow nervous. I mean, I understood this. The beds here were usually made for one single  person to sleep in and so we were really close to each other. Besides that, I doubted that he would NOT have gotten nervous even if the bed was larger and even if we could have some more distance. 

I was close to say that if he is uncomfortable, that I could go but I exactly knew his answer. He would tell me that he keeps his promises and the things that he says and that he doesn't mind, he is just often nervous. and it may have been for the better for me- So I just stopped myself from starting to talk aloud and scratched the back of my head, turning around to face his bathroom door while he put off the lights. I closed my eyes, relaxing a bit. I was surprised I could keep my mind off Taka and all that happened up to now but I enjoyed the time with Mondo. I just couldn't really describe the way I felt around him in the moment. I was just hoping that I wasn't falling for him- this would even be a lot more awkward and really not fitting in such a situation. I mean we both have got a lot of shit to do to try not to get killed- then confessing would just be a wrong timing. 
But that was just the wrong moment to think about it. It was late and we both were exhausted and somehow down because of the things that happened. It would be good to give our bodies some rest.
He faced my back, eventually relaxing again as well before the two of us finally fell asleep. 

The next day, I was woken up by the morning announcement from Monokuma. I hated the announcement. Like- couldn't he just put on a good song as an alarm? Annoyed and tired as shit, I opened up my eyes to see that I was facing Mondo. I was pretty sure I was facing the bathroom as I was asleep. My face was almost buried in his chest considering how close we laid. My cheeks turned into a slight shade of red in realization. I stretched myself a bit, backing a bit away, making sure he wasn't too uncomfortable or feeling awkward. I let out a long yawn. "Morning", he let out, still extremely sleepy just like me which was the reason why his voice was a bit deeper than usual. I mean he already had a very deep voice to begin with. But it suited him and I liked it. "Good morning", I let out to him, slightly smiling at him. 
It took us some time to get up but he immediately took his hair styling products and went into the bathroom, fixing some single strands which stuck out of his pompadour. I brushed with my fingers through my hair, getting on my shoes again and slowly getting myself ready as well. If we didn't have to head for the daily meetings in the morning, I was sure as hell that we would have stayed in bed. I mean, 7am was damn early. 

Eventually, we headed towards the dining hall to meet up with all of the other students which survived up to now. But it just didn't feel the same anymore. I missed most of the ones that died and it felt so weird that so many students were missing up to now. Especially since this whole idea was originally Taka's idea. But I guess there wasn't really anything we could do except for doing our best to ignore all of this crap. 
Today, I didn't really feel like eating as well. I didn't know why but all of the corpses were killing my appetite. I know that it wasn't good but I couldn't really help when I was honest. I was so sure that I needed therapy by the time I got out of here - if I even got out of here. But now I didn't really need to worry about that because- I was still captured in that almost unreal scenario. 

After the meeting I didn't really know what to do exactly. I mean, sure, there were 4 floors available but nothing really caught my interest. I didn't even really feel like working on designs but otherwise, I needed to finish eventually. But even though I had time, I felt this big, large, feeling of emptyness and unmotivation that was keeping me from designing something, even though this place was usually for advancing our ultimate talents. At least that's why we applied for this school for this reason- we all came here because we all were something special but none of us thought that something like this was going to happen once we arrived. Every night I just fell asleep, hoping this all was a big nightmare but- it was reality. There was no way out except from surviving or killing and this was making me scared as fuck. I just wanted to be out of here, like everyone but this feeling alone wouldn't make me murder. 
I waited until most of the others were finished with eating breakfast before I stood up and stretched myself. 

I was happy about the thing with Mondo. I knew he was hurt as well but I think both of us could use some distraction. He has something really special about him. I wasn't sure what it was but I liked it. My own feelings were somehow scaring me. I just hoped that those thoughts weren't a sign about falling for someone because this was the last thing I needed. And it would make things a lot more sad when one of us actually dies- I tried to shake those thoughts off as good as I could.
