Danganronpa Oneshots!!! :)

Kaimaki - A job!

This is a oneshot based on after the events of my fic "Reach for the Stars", enjoy!

"A job?"

Kaito peered over the shoulder of his girlfriend of only a month or two. Watching as she created a design on her laptop, the two sat on her bed. Kaito was brushing her long, silky brown hair. Meanwhile Maki was working to create a poster to advertise her abilities to babysit. "Is that...okay?" Maki looked back at the trainee, who quickly answered.

"'Course it is! More then okay, I'm just wondering...why?" Kaito only took a moment to respond, going back to running the brush and his fingers through her hair. Maki hummed, she loved when Kaito doted on her like this. Much as she hated to admit it, she had never been much for physical touch. But it was definitely one of his main love languages, and in private was the only time Maki could stand it. (Without becoming a blushing mess and simply bursting) She'd get used to him being so affectionate in public one day, but for now she was taking it one step at a time.

"Why? Because I need the money, that's why..." Maki sighed as if the answer was obvious, she was never paid when she was an assassin. Seeing as them funding the orphanage was seen as enough payment. So she had nothing to her name, nothing at all. And she knew she needed something to continue living like a normal person once she graduated.

"Well I figured. But y'know Maki Roll, I'm not gonna be modest here cuz being an astronaut pays well...a lot." Kaito reminded her, he had been doubling down on his training. Taking it more serious then ever, after all after this year they had one year left and then they'd be graduated. Kaito might even have to leave high school early if he was given a mission immediately, he'd do it without a second thought.

"Yeah I know that...but you know me. I don't wanna smooch off of your hard earned cash. If something were to happen to you...I don't want to be poor and hopeless..." Maki spoke a little solemnly, just the idea of losing Kaito was something she didn't want to think about. But even if it was something like an injury, he could no longer be going off to space...

But she also felt her face warm up a bit, just the idea of a simple life in the future with Kaito...It was becoming more reachable day by day, and she already felt it to be true. They'd hang out everyday and she was free from being an assassin. Her only job was being a student and of course, being Kaito's girlfriend. Which was similar to babysitting in it's own way, but it's time she was paid.

"Like I'd let anything happen to me before I've gone to space, but I know you. So I understand..." Kaito chuckled a bit at the precaution, forever a cautious person, this one. He didn't blame her, of course, considering her past if she was carefree that would somehow be even more concerning. But he wasn't going to lie, it made his heart ache a little the fact she thought about such an outcome.

Kaito put the brush down, moving over his hands to her shoulders. He slowly worked in his hands, massaging the brunette deeply. Maki groaned a bit from the contact, her focus on the poster was dwindling. Kaito was such a distraction sometimes, and he made it a bit hard to focus. That fact alone was one of the reasons she told him to try not show public affection so often. She'd start to ignore her schoolwork, focusing on Kaito's arms as he wrote down notes....The way he'd stretch his arms up when the work got puzzling, turned to Maki and gave her a smile for reassurance....Okay, so maybe he was distracting even when he wasn't loving on her with kisses and hugs. But him working through the knots in her shoulders was definitely not a way to keep her concentrated on the task in front of her.

"Mm...h-hold up..." Maki quickly stopped his hands before she got too into her head. Even if the massage was very relieving of the tightness in her upper body, she knew the burning in her face wouldn't be able to take it any longer. Kaito kept his hands there paused, and then leaned forwards next to her ear.
