Danganronpa One-Shots Birthday Special

Izuru x Reader - Restoring Happiness

I sat against the wall and cried. They beat me again. The guys from the 79th class beat me up again! And I thought they would treat me a bit better since it was my birthday but if anything they treated me even worse. At this point, I was at the brink of depression. I usually kept myself together with optimistic thoughts but those were nearly smashed. As I cried on the ground, I didn't realize someone was watching me...

Izuru's POV
I stared at the poor girl on the ground. Seeing her so depressed makes me feel depressed. She was the only I found even the slightest bit interesting. I desperately wanted to get to know her but... not like this. Argh! I'm supposed to be the Ultimate Hope and yet I don't know what to do! I decided I'd try my luck and I walked out of the shadows towards her.

Normal POV
"Hey are you alright?"

I heard a males voice from beside me. I didn't recognize it so it wasn't any of the bullies, so... who is it? I took a peek and saw a decently tall boy with long black hair and red eyes.

"My name is Izuru Kamukura, are you okay?"

I took up on shaky legs. Tears were evident on my face.

"Yeah... I'm fine... I'm... Y/N L/N"

"Well nice to meet you. You look like you need medical attention. I'll take you to the nurses office"

"N-no it's fine"

The boy narrowed his eyes looking directly at my bruises and cuts.

"Doesn't look fine. It looks serious"

We argued a bit longer until I sighed in defeat and followed him to the nurses office, though, not the main one like I was expecting. He took me to the one that only the Ultimate Nurse and Pharmacist use. Neither of them were there now. The mysterious boy healed me himself. Which shocked me. I wondered what talent he had. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask.

"What's your talent?"

"I'm the Ultimate Hope"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means I have every talent"

My eyes widened in shock, every talent? Wouldn't that get boring?

"You must be bored being able to do anything..."

"Yes, I am but recently I found something that doesn't completely bore me, in fact, I want to learn more about it"

"What is it?"

"You"

"W-what?"

I blushed and so did the boy, if only slightly.

"Why do you find s-someone like me interesting?"

"I honestly don't know I just do, and it makes me mad seeing you depressed because depression isn't something I can just take control of, I hate seeing the happiness and hope drain out of you."

It shocked me to hear this... somebody liked me? I started to tear up but this time in happiness.

"I-I never th-thought anyone w-would want anything to d-do with m-me"

I was sobbing and Izuru comforted me.

"Shhhhh"

I lurched forward and hugged Izuru as tightly as I could. He rubbed my back and constantly made soothing sounds.

"Happy birthday Y/N"

"You know?"

"Of course, I love you after all"

I started sobbing a little harder, he cared! He really cared!

"You really are ultimate hope"

I managed to choke out of my sobbing mouth. Izuru smiled and continued to comfort me.

How was that?
