Despair [SDR2 x Reader]

~3~

I woke up to weird warmth in the sheets of my bed, and it was comfy when I didn't think about it. I smiled as I smelled something really good, but that made me cuddle it more.

Wait a minute...

I shot my eyes open to another figure, who turned out to be Hajime hugging me tightly. A blush swept across my cheeks as I analyzed my situation. I couldn't move without waking him up, so I had to tell him.

"H-Hajime..!" I wiggled around a tiny bit, but instead he just squeezed me tighter like I was a teddy bear. I sighed with a smile and just decided that sleeping like this would be fine. I closed my eyes and went back into a deep sleep in his arms..

~timeskip~

I woke up to movement around me and Monokuma's annoyingly cheerful voice. I smelled a really nice scent in front of me before my memory of last night flooded into my head. I blushed deeply before looking at a red Hajime.

"I-I'm so s-s-sorry [Y/N]!" He stammered, "Y-You fell asleep o-on the beach so I--!" I put a finger to his lips before sitting up.

"Hajime, it's fine, I, um... don't really mind." I felt the heat on my cheeks increase evidently as his did too, but then an issue struck us in the head.

"W-Wait!! Leave through the window so it doesn't look like we...." His face turned a deep shade of crimson, as well as my own.

"G-Gh! You're right..!" He said while running to the window.  It slid open easily after unlocking it, and he turned to look at me with one leg through the opening.

"Bye Jay, I'll see you in a few!" He gave me a kind smile before exiting through the small passage. Knowing his cottage was next to mine and that it wasn't much of a hassle to leave unnoticed, I sighed and fell backwards into my bed. I tried to rest more after fixing my gloves that hid my scars, but that was short lived thanks to a knock on my door. I opened it to reveal my brother.

"Hey Jax, wanna come in?"

"Nope, I came here to get you," He explained, "We're all meeting at breakfast every single day to make sure no one dies." I nodded my head, closes the door behind me, and made my way to the restaurant with him. As he said, everyone was already there, waiting for me.

"Where the hell have ya' been, Jay?" Kazuichi asked, scratching the back of his neck. Before I could answer for myself, Nekomaru already had for me.

"I BET SHE WAS TAKING A SHIIIIIIT!" We laughed, including myself, but I shook my head too.

"Naaah, she was just oversleeping." We enjoyed breakfast before Ibuki and Mahiru decided to give us something to discuss.

"So, Ibuki and I have been talking, and we thought, 'Hey! In multiple scenarios, there had been a leader.'" Mahiru stated as if she was a lawyer.

"So Ibuki asked, 'Why can't WE have leader?'"

"So we've done the math and the best choice for a leader is--"

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, JAXON WATSOOOOONNNN! LETS STICK IT TO THE MAN!" Jaxon and I spit out our drinks and coughed violently when a certain girl with attitude and pigtails decided to speak up.

"What?! I'm never, ever, EVER listening to Jaxon!" Hiyoko screeched, "I'm only gonna listen to Mahiru!" Mahiru just awkwardly smiled and brushed her bangs out of her eye sight.
