A Despairful Tune (Danganronpa: THH X Male Reader)

A Guitarist's Daily Life...Again, and Alter Ego...Gone?!

Y/N's POV

Once I had finished the exercises listed on the note, Mukkie and I talked for a while until she decided to go back to her room...
So, now I have some free time on my hands...guess I should spend it with someone...but...who?

Knock Knock

...guess I didn't have to choose.

I went over to my door, and opened it, seeing Celeste on the other side.

"Oh, hey Celeste."

Celeste: "hey, Y/N...do you want to play that game of blackjack now?"

"Sure, but...we need a dealer to hand out the cards..."

Celeste: "don't worry about that, I convinced Junko to be the dealer for us."

"Oh...okay."

Well, since they've been getting along as of late, I don't think Mukkie will rig the game in my favor, so...it's fine.

As we began to make our way to the rec room, Celeste got a bit closer to me, wrapping her arm around mine.

Celeste: "You know, Y/N..."

"Hm?"

Celeste: "Now that I'm your partner...I can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed...it's a new experience for me, so forgive me if I don't meet your expectations..."

"...I don't have any expectations for you, Celeste...just be yourself around me, and if you feel overwhelmed, we can take things slowly."

Celeste: "That would be great...and, one more thing."

"What is it?"

Celeste: "can you...um...how can I put it into words..."

"It's okay, Celeste...take your time."

Celeste: "I know, it's just..."

Celeste cleared her throat, and looked up into my eyes.

Celeste: "can you...pat my head too? I've seen you do that to Junko, and I've been wanting to know how that feels..."

"...sure thing, Celeste."

I raised my hand a bit, and gently placed it on Celeste's head, petting her slowly.

Celeste: "this is...great."

"...glad you're enjoying it."

Celeste: "I can see why Junko likes it so much..."

I smiled a bit...seeing Celeste, a usually very serious person, acting like this is like if I was in a completely different universe...

Celeste: "relaxed sigh..."

"...Celeste?"

Celeste: "hm...?"

"Our game of blackjack...?"

Celeste: "Oh! My bad."

I stopped giving Celeste head pats, and we started to walk towards the rec room again.

~~timeskip~~

Once we made it, I was met with Mukkie already there, cards in hand.

Mukuro: "what took you guys so long?"

Celeste: "...I needed help with something."

"...she wanted head pats."

Celeste: "..."

Mukuro: "I see...well, you guys ready to play?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

Celeste: "I'm ready as well."
