Danganronpa 2 x reader (pre-despair)

Chapter 14: Hinata's selfish mind and Chiaki's broke heart

So I forgot to put this song in my last or before my last chapter. (Whichever one has the sort where you confess to Nagito that your parents died) but yeah this song really reminds me of my oc's (aka This story's protag) life basically. When writing her backstory in rough, I use as many songs, other anime characters backstories, real life, and even my life as much as possible. This song was one of the biggest influences on her. Oki enough ranting, back to the despaiiiirrrrrr~

After getting the call from the government and getting my way down there, I had finally made my way to where the surgery was going to take place.

I remember feeling so confident in myself. Ive never felt as confident as I did then, and yet I really have no friggin clue as to why. Was it because my best friend visited me? Was it because I had the chance to see Hajime before the shit show went down? I still don't know.

Walking into the room where I would be guarding, I kept my head held high greeting everyone.
Some people had recognized me because they were part of Hopes peak's council and such, but I assured them I would tell anyone.

But what little did they know, I would actually be telling Chiaki all about this festival.

I had it planned from when I got the call: get down there, guard, ask/sneak in as much information as you can, get out, tell Chiaki the next day. The girl deserved to know, plus I trust her..surprisingly.

"Oh, Chi we want you to meet the person you will be protecting. He also goes to Hopes Peak, and he's in the reserve course. Follow us."
The person who had brought me here (aka my boss) told me that I should meet Hajime. I nodded and followed him along with a bunch of other people who were most likely guarding with me or part of the surgery.

Going down to the actual room where the procedure would take place was kinda surreal. It was almost like it was out of a sci-fi/action movie. There were dark green and black walls with matching floors, and the only decor were the surgery bed where Hajime would be placed and all the tools for the procedure. Sitting on the bed was none other then the rat himself Hajime. He stood up to introduce himself.

"Hello everyone, I-I'm Hinata Hajime..."
he said with a shy tone. He looked around at all the groups faces, and did a double take on mine. After that, his eyebrows instantly rose and his mouth dropped to an 'o' shape. I waved like the petty person I was.

"Hey, you're Chi Fujisayo right? You're in class 77-B, the same class as a girl named Nanami Chiaki?"
His voice rose as he said her name.
'Hm, I guess he did his research..'

"Heh, yup that's me. I'm surprised you know about me Hajime, considering im new to the school." I tried to keep an upbeat tone, but it sorta flattened at the end.
"Chiaki' been telling me about you. She thinks your cool and a good friend..."
"Oh I'll have to thank her tomorrow then."
He looked down as if a pain of regret just hit him like a fucking bus.
'He's cracking because of Chiaki? Damn, he misses her doesn't he? But it's his fault anyways, he should have told her about what was happening. Now I have to be the man in the middle. '

The group went back up to the announcement room above the room Hajime and I were left in. I decided to stay back for more info.

"So Hinata-"
"Please, call me Hajime."
I cleared my throat.
"So Hajime, what exactly is this whole process about?"
"Oh they didn't tell you? It's about a reserve course student becoming something more than just a casual student. They can become the ultimate hope. Something to show to everyone that Hopes Peak is the best place to be. I was the lucky candidate. "

I wanted to cringe..
Actually I think I did a bit.

"But Hajime, you do know that the schools just stealing your money, right?"

He looked down in shame.
"Yeah...but anything for an ultimacy.."
"Can I ask you something?" I said in a soft tone. He nodded his head. I then raised my voice a bit.
"Why the fuck do you want talent so badly? What's so grasping about becoming the "ultimate hope"?"
He looked at me with a mixture of shock, fear and anger planted on his face.
He then also raised his voice to say "because I can't just be normal Chi! It's the plainest thing ever. I feel useless, and unworthy. With a talent I can be someone, and I can be everyone's hope! I'm sure you'd be able to understand!"

'Ugh why did I agree to this? This stupid fucks gonna get his ass beat if it wasn't for Chiaki.'

"So what, you wanna be a famous ultimate because you think that fame is everything? You wanna be set on one life path just for a bit of fucking recognition?" I said in a venomous tone. It took Hajime two seconds to go from 'selfish ego' to 'what the fuck have I done'.

I continued for lecture, just cause this part couldn't go unnoticed.
"How egotistical do you have to be to not even tell your friend, who's been waiting for you everyday before, during and after school for you to come and just hang with her? The poor girl's upset just because you didn't have the fucking guts to tell her-"
"I GET IT OKAY? IM A HORRIBLE PERSON!"
The room was dead silent after Hajime's outburst. He sat back down on the surgery table, and I sat beside him. He hid his face in his hands. He began in a quiet tone,
"... I can go back now Chi..how would she react?"

I sighed. This dude really needs to get his priorities straight.
"D..do you want me to tell her? I mean, you won't even remember any of this since your practically getting new life, so...I can help if you want..?"
I tried to be as sincere as possible, but on the inside, I didn't really feel anything. Emotions were just like school to me, they're new, and fucking terrible.

"Yes please..thank you Chi!" Hajime lifted his face out of his hands and hugged me.

Of course me being me, I didn't know the slightest way to react back.
'WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO? DO I HUG BACK? UGHHH'

I softly put an arm around his back and pulled him in.
After a few seconds, or what felt like a fucking eternity to me, he pulled away, with a slight blush on his face...? Fuck.

"You know Chi, you're definitely not one to be messed with, but you're actually a good person, and a great friend. Thank you again.."

"Hm..no problem Hajime. Just as long as you never forget Chiaki, I'll always be there for you guys.."

"Aha, I promise. I'll even pinky swear on it."
"Hajime...were not fucking five."
He gave a pout, continuing on the joke that we were five.
"Ugh fine."
We locked our pinkies together and smiled at each other.

"Chi, it time to bring your work. Hajime, get prepped for surgery, we will be going on in five. "

"Well I guess this is goodbye Hajime."
"Yeh I guess so... goodbye Chi, I'll try my best to not forget you.
"Same here."
I ruffled his hair and began to walk away to my position.

~present p.o.v~

'H-he really...didn't l..live up to his word...?'

"I-Izuru.."
"Hm? Pft you're still here..?"
"Don't you..fucking forget o-our pro..mise..."

I can't see much since my vision is blurred, but I could feel the presence of someone standing overtop of my body. The person then kneeled down to me and whispered...

"Chi, that promise was set to never be broken, but you're not going to be here for much longer, so I guess that means you never lived up to your pinky promise.."

I felt a kick to the side of my abdomen. As I started to cough up more blood, I heard a faint whimper.
"C-Chi..I-I'm..sorry.."

"M-Mikan..?"
