C̶r̶o̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ in Love [Oumasai DanganronpaV3 Pregame]

Matching Issues

They walked along in casual conversation for a little, checking shops occasionally for things to do, eat, or buy. Eventually they came across an anime store skewed more towards "darker" anime clearly.

"Oh! Rantaro, look! They have a Nagito keychain- isn't he your favorite?"

Shuichi quickly picked up a keychain with the actor "Nagito Komaeda" playing his killing game role.

Rantaro walked over and placed his head to look over Shuichi's shoulder, something he could easily do since he was an inch taller.

"Huh, I don't think I have that one yet.."

Rantaro turned Shuichi's hand left and right, looking at the keychain.

"Ah, I'll buy it for you then!" Shuichi smiled, holding the keychain in his fist while looking over the other keychains.

Rantaro placed his hand on Shuichi's right shoulder and his forehead behind Shuichi's left, sighing since this was unfortunately a common occurrence. (Shuichi spending money for no reason)

"Hm, thank you Shuichi."

Shuichi nodded as he got lost in thought.

"He smells like green tea- maybe because of the cafe.. I wonder how long he was waiting? Oh wait- no nevermind I have this one, I think I have all of these.. Oh well."

Shuichi saw another display in the corner of his eye and darted to it without thinking, he took a moment before realizing he had startled Rantaro.

"Oh- I'm sorry, I forgot you were leaning on me."

He said this with a half-enthusiastic tone as he surfed through another display of Danganronpa mystery figs

"Yeah, it's fine Shu, I'm used to your antics."

Rantaro smiled, seemingly lost in thought.

He decided to go look at racks on the other side of the store, finding something he thought Shuichi might like.

"Antics? That's a rude way to describe behavior- I guess I do this a lot though. But it's Danganronpa, what am I supposed to do? Just let it not be part of my collection?" Shuichi thought to himself as he browsed the next rack.

Eventually they regrouped at the checkout, Shuichi had amassed a small basket of things and proceeded to wait outside for Rantaro, marveling at all the things he had been able to get.

Rantaro walked out of the store with a tiny bag, Shuichi recognized it as one of those small gift bags.

"Hey, I got something for us."

"Oh? You didn't have to, I don't need you to repay me.." Shuichi got up from leaning on the wall, he dug through his bag for the keychain he had got Rantaro.

"Nah, I wanted to get it, it seemed like you'd like it and I'm surprised you didn't see it. Now close your eyes."

"Uh.. Why?" Shuichi cocked his head to the side in a confused manner.

"Just close your eyes Shuichi."

Rantaro's eyes were glaring, but Shuichi hesitantly closed his eyes.

Rantaro pulled Shuichi's arm forward, stopping momentarily to fiddle with the gift bag.

" I wonder what he got, maybe it's another keychain? Or a sticker? The bag he had was pretty small.. But he said it was for "us", maybe it's something matching?"

Shuichi went through possibilities in his head before he felt something cold and metal mixed with silky rope wrap around his right wrist.

"Okay... You can open them now."
