Knock knock.
'Who could be knocking on my door?' I wondered as I stood from my bed and walked to my door and opened it. It was Owada.
"Hello," I said bluntly.
"I did something bad," he whispered.
"What?" I asked in confusion.
"Come with me," he mumbled and he grabbed my arm and dragged me to the boy's workout room. As we entered I saw Fujisaki lying on the floor, seemingly dead. I gasped and pulled away from his grasp.
"You killed her?"
"I think so.." he whispered and I walked over to Fujisaki's body and I saw that she was still breathing.
"She's still breathing," I said softly, and I felt relieved.
"Oh thank god," he said with a sigh and he looked up at the ceiling, apparently searching for higher power at that moment. I picked Fujisaki up and I walked with Owada to the infirmary. Once we got there I laid Fujisaki on the table and looked at her head and there was surprisingly minimal damage. I guess Owada didn't hit her that hard.
"I think she'll be okay," I mumbled and he seemed to cringe when I referred to Fujisaki as a she, "what is it?" I asked.
"Nothing."
"Okay. Why did you do this?"
"He- she... she made me jealous. She's so strong and I couldn't handle it."
"So you tried to kill her because she made you jealous?"
"Yes.."
"That's pitiful, Owada.."
"I know," he sighed again and I wondered if Monokuma could do anything about this, and as if he heard my thoughts, he suddenly appeared.
"What happened here?" The bear asked and I jumped in surprise. Owada explained the situation and Monokuma did absolutely nothing. Which wasn't surprising. I shrugged and Owada picked up Fujisaki and we carried her back to her room. And Owada was silently praying she would wake up. After he closed the door he looked at me with a scared expression.
"I don't want to die, Byakuya," he muttered, my first name slipping out like he had been calling me that for years. I suddenly felt a wave of confusing emotions towards him.
"You won't. Fujisaki will wake up and everything will be okay." I said quietly, feigning hope. He sighed shakily and nodded.
"Thank you, Byakuya," he said much softer voice than I had ever heard from him. It made me feel just how vulnerable he was and made my heart feel almost mushy. He then walked me back to my room but instead of going to my room, he guided me into his room. This surprised me but when he started talking about why he hurt Fujisaki it started to make more sense.
"She told me something... personal and made me realize how strong she was and I felt... embarrassed and jealous I wasn't as strong as her and I just... lost control... and I hurt her..." he admitted in an almost timid voice and he looked like he could've cried. I made the mistake of stepping closer to him because he leaned in and hugged me with a death grip. I felt confused as to why he was confiding in me of all people but I hugged him back to the best of my ability. I asked him why he admitted this to me and he hesitated, "Well, you're the only other person I'm slightly close to and I couldn't tell Taka because he's... y'know.."
He said and he let out a wry chuckle and released me from the hug which made me chuckle in response.
"Yes, I know what you mean," I replied and I felt slightly honored that he was telling me and not his best friend, "Do you like Ishimaru?" I asked suddenly, unable to help myself, I had to know.
