Danganronpa 2 x reader (pre-despair)

Chapter 12: Supermarkets and super problems

After that whole shit show went down, Nagito told me about his parents, and how they had died in a plane crash that was suppose to be hijacked. Everyone including the people who planned all of it out died, all except for Nagito.

"Damn, I'm really sorry. But at least your here and safe."
It looked like my words didn't cut through Nagito at all, but I knew he felt them.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. After all, I wouldn't have become an "ultimate" (he did the finger quotations) or met you."

He smiled at me, and I did the same. I'm glad I got to get some stuff off of my chest before this all happened. Seriously, I never expected that my fuckstorm of a life would become so hopeful, only to plunge back down to a fuckstorm.

But getting back on track, after we had chatted for a bit, I remembered I had to go to the store for some groceries. Nagito happily trotted along behind me, as we talked more about why I wasn't at school.

"So Chi, wanna explain why you weren't at school today?"
"Because I'm a rebellious teen who doesn't give a shit." I tried to answer in my most "I don't need anyone but Marilyn Manson" sorta voice. He chuckled and said "oh yeah, you do have that edgy 'don't give a crap' feel going on."
I dramatically gasped.
Nagito stopped and looked around for any signs of danger. I chuckled.
"Did Nagito Komaeda just... SWEAR?!"
Nagito rolled his eyes and continued walking, so this time I followed.

"But seriously, are you feeling okay? Why did you stay home? Oh I hope I'm not being a bother..." the last part came out more muttered than his other sentences.

"Don't worry Ko, you can bother me anytime aha. But honestly, I just kinda needed a day to myself. Not being in school for most of your life then all of a sudden going to a prestigious academy takes a toll on you. "
A bit was true, I really didn't know how to get use to all this change. Especially since I have homework, actual work, kinda sorta friends, keeping my identity at a low, and insomnia to the fucking max. But still, I didn't really wanna say that "oh I'm being a pussy and staying home because of nightmares I have every night and a sudden outburst of stupid emotions." Yeah, that'll sound finnneee~

"Ah I see. Your not use to the whole balancing out your home life and school li-"

I felt the back of my sweater be pulled back in a forceful way. I was about to fight back when a tree branch had randomly decided to break right where I was about to walk. My eyes widened in surprise that I had just barely missed that.

"Huh, I guess I CAN be lucky at times.."
of course my saving grace was Nagito. He was either the cause or the effect, no in between.

"Hm thanks. So is this like 'I save your ass you save mine' sorta thing..?"

'I did save him from that boulder the other day. Heh, let's not forget the bomb, he practically was a god. '

"Yeah, I don't mind. As long as we stay together!" Nagito gave his usual bright tone and smile. I couldn't help but chuckle back. Put on the inside, I was question things.

'Was he that serious when he said no one liked him? He's all about sticking together, as if he's never had a friend before... aha, I guess it's a pleasure to be his first.'

We eventually got to the supermarket and started shopping around. We got everything I needed, Nagito almost burned down an entire aisle, we got kicked out, you know-regular shopping day.

"Hahaha I can't believe you fought back against that security guard!" Nagito was the first to talk after our fits of laughter in the parking lot of the grocery store we had just gotten kicked out of.

"Yeah well at least I didn't start testing how many matches fit in a plastic tube. How the hell does that even catch on fire ahaha?"

We both sat down on the curb and continued to aimlessly laugh our asses off.

~Nagito's P.O.V~
Chi and I laughed until we couldn't breathe anymore. Seeing her this happy was amazing, especially after all she's been through.

I never got those scenes out of my head. When she revealed to me her scars, and when she talked a bit about her past and started crying. I want to do more than just be there for her, I want to help her. She's one of the only people who've managed to stick around me and me bad luck. She's fighting her own demons right now, I wouldn't doubt it. I'm just glad I can be here with her.

I'll do anything to help, even if it kills me.

Anything to keep that smile and laugh on her.

"Hey Chi..?"
"Ahah yeah?"
"..don't ever loose that hopeful smile or laugh. It suits you.."
I could see her face flush a light bare pink while she just tried to shoo the action away by just chuckling lighting at my comment.

"As long as you never loose that spark in you, how could I?"
