Danganronpa 2 x reader (pre-despair)

Chapter 17: softie in the works

Now I was back home, exhausted from what had just happened. Not only did the fight end in more than Fuyuhiko's blood, but my boss could keep himself from calling me shit like "a pathetic baby" or " useless".
I was use to it by now, but still. How could he have less of a heart than me? I honestly still don't have a damn clue.
And about that Fuyuhiko thing, what was I? Soft?
'Oh fuck I hope not. Becoming soft towards people? No thanks.'

I remember falling asleep for a bit before a ring of the doorbell woke me up. I considered not answering it, but it could be Kev or Hanaka coming to check up on me. (Since those two are the only people who care about my well being.)

I waddled over to the door in pain, since my wounds were still fresh. I've been hurt badly before, so this wasn't that hard to walk around with, but there still were little stings of pain that ran throughout both of my legs.
I opened the door to reveal, again, Nagito. He smiled as he waved. His hair flowed through the slight breeze outside.

"Gee how lucky am I to have seen you twice today. The same day I feel shitty."
He tilted his head innocently at my words.
"What happened? Wanna talk?"

I let him into my house, closed the door, and sat down beside him on the couch.

"I can see you have bandages around your thighs...please don't tell me it's.."
he couldn't even finish his sentence.
"Nono it's not like that. Yes they were self inflicted but not for that exact reason. I was stupid and didn't want to feel guilty."
I explained everything to him as he listened diligently. I could tell the sad and worried expression slowly creeping on his face.
After I finished the story, leaving out the part about Hajime and replacing it with documents that we needed to keep a secret, he replied "wow...the hope in you shines bright and dearly. You're a true hero Chi!"
I shook my head quickly as he said 'hero'.
"Nononono I'm far, faaaaarrrrrr from that Ko. I murder people for a living, I'm a total bitch towards everyone, and I can't even be nice to myse-"
"That doesn't mean you're not a hero in my books..."
Nagito cut off my ranting with his soft voice. He then pulled out a little box from one of his inside jacket pockets. He put it in my lap, avoiding the wounds.
"....what's this..?"
"I found out your birthday was a few weeks ago, so here. I guess it could also work as a 'get well soon' present!"
I looked up into his grey eyes. He smiled at me and asked what was wrong.
I replied quietly "n-no ones ever given me a present before...let alone for my birthday.."
I honestly felt like I was gonna start tearing up again.
'Ugh I am starting to get soft. FUCKING DAMNIT'
I hesitated opening the present, but did so anyways. I unwrapped the nice packaging to reveal another box. It was small, and was velvet. I opened that to reveal a silver necklace with a circle pendant.
"W-....why did you give me this?"
I had no clue as to why he'd spend his money on me, especially because I'm nothing special.
"Like I just said, happy belated birthday! Oh! And hope you feel better soon obviously.... oh and if you push down on the pendant, it opens up. You can put a picture in there if you want!"
I stared at it for a few more seconds and then hugged Nagito without hesitation.
I said in a muffled voice "you're so damn sweet Ko. Thank you..."
he hugged me back and said "anything for you Chi."

After Ko left, I went back to the grounds where the surgery was taking place. I couldn't just let everyone else (disregarding me) see Hajime's new form.

Kev let me into the building, and asked how I was. I replied that I was okay, and that it was just a little injury.

I walked into the room to have all eyes plant right on me.
'..fuck..just fucking great...'
"Agent 037? What the hell are you doing here?!"
My boss started to raise his voice, but lowered it once he realized everyone in the room could hear us.
"I came back, so what?"
He gave a huff.
"Yeah you probably got "hurt" so that you could spend all your cash on that cheap necklace."
He pointed to the necklace that Nagito gave me and scoffed. I rolled my eyes.
'I'm not gonna take it from him today. This bitch gets away with too much.'

"What the hell? Cheap? It's worth more than what you spend on all those strippers you buy and the drugs and alcohol you can afford COMBINED. don't come after me unless you're asking for a fucking death wish.." I rolled my eyes and walked in more so that I was right by the glass, looking down at the proceeding surgery. I could feel everyone's intense eyes lock onto me. I could hear my boss stuttering, at a loss for words.

"I suggest everyone goes back to doing whatever, since it's just me coming here..."
everyone followed my instructions and continued as if nothing happened. I crossed my arms and kept my eyes locked on what was happening below us.

After a few more hours of waiting, the surgery was finally complete. We all crowded around the glass and stared in complete and utter awe as the glass case opened to reveal the new Hajime-or should I say Izuru.

Ugh even the name names me wanna barf, but back to my story.

Everyone clapped and congratulated everyone else as the surgery was found to be a success.

Hajime-er Izuru, had long raven coloured hair that reached down to his legs and sprawled everywhere. He has crimson red eyes that glowed, and a bored expression on his face. He instantly shot his glare to the upstairs room and started at everyone. He looked around the room but instantly locked eyes with me. He looked somewhat distraught, and if trying to remember something so vivid.

I helped him out by lifting up a pinky, to which he sent a ghostly smirk.

'Did he...actually remember.?'

~Izuru's P.O.V~

'Hm...she has talent.... but what's so off about her...?'
Suddenly like an answer to my calls, she lifted a single pinky. I smirked.
'Of course... Chi..'
