(Soudam) A Confidential Link

Alone

He watched as dawn kept approaching and he soon fell asleep in the same position he had cried in.
————-
Gundham awoke to an empty bed. Yeah sure he may have been in it but shouldn't he have awoken to something different? To cuddling the one he held dear and watching as the boy woke up? He was in the same position he had fell asleep in, and of course, his hands clung onto thin air, replacing the sleeping boy he had been cuddling with. Of course, Kazuichi had ran off sometime in the night.

The boy sighed before sitting up and rubbing his head, The morning announcement would
go off in under half an hour and he hasn't even fully awoken yet. Did Kazuichi really had to go so soon? The mechanic surely was overthinking Monokumas rules.

If the students speculated, they wouldn't find out right? It would  just be considered an assumption...wouldn't it? Monokuma had forced them into this hole that they couldn't dig out of, no matter how much they tried or wanted too. Gundham wanted to be out with Kazuichi with zero fear, but monokuma always wanted, and needed, a motive.

All these thoughts ran through his head as he got ready for the day. He wondered if Kazuichi was doing the same maybe, Combing his hair, putting on his jump suit, brushing his teeth. But it seemed no matter how much hygiene the mechanic may do, he always smelt of oil and metal. A signature scent the edgelord had come to love. Gundam smiled at the thought before making his way to the diner, just in time as the morning announcement rung.

Upon entering, he noticed Kazuichi had arrived early, he was fidgeting with his braid, like he did when he was nervous, and it seemed as if he was being questioned by his peers. Gundham wanted to go over, to grab his hands and calm him, but he knew better.

The breeder ended up getting his breakfast to go that morning.

While in his cottage, Gundham was busying himself with his devas as he heard a knocking on his door. Opening it, he was taken by surprise as Hajime and Kazuichi stood outside his door.

"..Hey" The mechanic awkwardly scratched the back of his neck and greeted Gundham. The taller boy only simply nodded, looking back from Hajime and Kazuichi.
"..Salutations..K- Pardon me, Souda. And Greetings to you aswell Hinata" Gundham took a deep breath before continuing. "State your business at once! You are disturbing the dark devas and their master, me! Hurry so you two may disappear from my presence." Gundham practically shouted while dramatically posing. He paused to take a look at the twos reactions. Hajime chuckled a little and smirked at Gundham, while Kazuichi was as red as ever and hid his face. Second Embarrassment? No, The fact that was literally hot as fuck? Definitely.

"Hey Tanaka, the girls are going to have a beach party and you know, Kazuichi and I were heading to the diner..I wanted to know if you'd like to join" Hajime seemed nervous about asking Gundham to join, but nevertheless he gave Gundham a hopeful smile.

"Humph..And why should I accompany you two fools just so you can oogle at the large discs on the chests of feminine specimen? My power is much rather needed elsewhere thank you." Gundham placed his hands on his hips looking the boys up and down. Kazuichi chuckled at how sassy the boy acted but continued after Hajime.

"Well you don't hafta dude..It was Hajimes
idea anyway." He pointed at his friend who nodded at the response.

Oh..suddenly Gundham wasn't so interested in hanging out with them anyway.

"Hmph. Well then, I have to decline your invitation." He said sharply. "I do appreciate the offer however."

"That's cool Tanaka, but you know.." Hajime started. "I-I don't mean to pry but, I mainly invited ya because..well, you and Kazuichi used to hang out a bit, but I don't really see that anymore, and you started calling him by his surnameYou haven't done that before. If i'm not mistaken, weren't you two uhm allies? or somet-"
