Everything had gone well, everyone seemed to start getting along with each other. It was nice for a change, being in the famous school of Hope's Peak Academy.
Of course, all hope had to have despair, right?
The morning after Monokuma made his appearance and announced the killing game that has commenced, everyone gathered at the dining hall. Some were completely pale and some acted like nothing had happened.
(Name) was shocked more than anything. At least she wasn't the only one—Asahina, Fukawa, Fujisaki, Maizono... people like them all had worried and scared looks on their faces. Even Naegi was a bit pale.
However, (Name)'s eyes landed on a certain someone. Hagakure, who was also afraid of what might happen, sat alone at one of the tables.
She decided to go sit with him.
The clairvoyant jumped a bit, not expecting to see anyone by him at the moment. "(N- Name)!"
"Did I scare you?" she asked. "I'm sorry..."
"No, it's fine..." Hagakure sighed. "I just didn't expect to see anyone right now."
"I understand this is all... a bit insane right now, but we've got to keep it together." (Name) set her fist over her other palm. "If we all work together, we can surpass that stupid bear!"
Hagakure looked at her, and his face lit up a bit. "Yeah, you're right! I just have to stay positive!"
"That's the spirit!" (Name) smiled. "Staying positive isn't that hard—try and guess how I learned it!"
"You are the Ultimate Babysitter... how do you learn to be so good with kids?"
"I guess I just found them really cute. Besides, they love me!" (Name) explained.
"If you two would stop flirting..." Togami looked down at them. "That'd be great. We have more important matters to attend to at the moment."
"Geez, you don't have to be so rude about it..." Hagakure sighed.
(Name) couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing Hagakure like this... he actually seemed kind of cute. Forgetting about his age and his brain, he was actually a nice person inside. It's like no one realized it.
During breakfast, Celeste began talking about a nighttime rule. No one can leave their rooms after the nighttime announcements, to prevent any killings. This actually seemed like a good rule to follow, but (Name) wasn't sure if anyone would follow it.
"Perfect!" Hagakure laughed. "Now, it'll be completely safe here!"
"You don't know if anyone's gonna even follow that rule, you idiot..." Fukawa huffed.
"Hey! That's mean!"
It's nice seeing this, (Name) thought. As long as we're getting along, it'll be okay...
After breakfast was over, (Name) and Hagakure decided to hang out, since there wasn't much to do.
"Alright! In that case, I'll see into your future!" he told her. "For a million bucks when we get out of here."
"Ahah... you're joking, right?" the babysitter questioned.
"Well, of course I am!" Hagakure lightly laughed. "Just for you, at least..."
She swore she saw a blush on his face, but dismissed the fact.
He closed his eyes, putting his two fingers to the side of his head. "I see you marrying a handsome man, and living happily."
"That's cheesy!" (Name) chuckled.
"It may be cheesy, but it's the truth." Hagakure winked.
Marrying a handsome man, huh... (Name) thought. She couldn't help but think of Hagakure at that moment.
It's only been a few days.
A few days...
Ding dong, ding dong!
"A body has been discovered! Use this time to investigate everything... see you at the class trial!"
Monokuma had called everyone to the gym, but when (Name) arrived, she was the only one there. Not even the summoner was there.
"Oh, h- hey (Name)..."
She turned around to see Hagakure walking into the gym. With a shaken hand, she waved.
"I can't take this!" Hagakure held his head in his hands. "I'm gonna go insane!"
"Hey, g- get a hold of yourself..." (Name) wasn't too far from him, but she took a few steps closer. "If we do this, then we won't be able to investigate."
"I don't want to investigate! I need to get out of here!" He was on his knees now, practically squeezing his head. "Why did Maizono die... why would anyone die?!"
"Hey!" She grabbed his hands, gently pulling them away from his head. "I know this is hard... we've never experienced death like this until now. Forced death, if anything."
"Forced... death...?"
"Yeah! The killer didn't want to kill Maizono... Monokuma drove them to do it!" (Name) tried telling him.
Slowly, Hagakure nodded. "Y- Yeah... you're right..."
"Hey, remember what I told you a few days ago? About surpassing Monokuma?" (Name) asked.
When he nodded, she continued. "We have to stay positive to do that. We have to work together. You said you could do that."
"I..." he began, but then stopped. "Once again, you're right."
She lightly laughed and put her hand on his cheek, kissing his forehead. "I know."
This action caused him to finally look up, and his cheeks were tinted pink. "Hey, (Name)?"
"Yes?"
"Promise me you won't become a victim... or a culprit..." His voice was serious, unlike his normal, cheery tone. He was scared, scared out of his wits. But talking to her like this, and just having her around completely changed that. With (Name), Hagakure felt safe and secure.
Just hearing those words was enough to make her pull him into a hug. "Of course... never. And we'll get out of here together. I promise."
Right then and there, a very annoying voice rang out through the speakers. "Ew... what annoying hope!"
A/N: I hope this was okay!
