Danganronpa One-Shots (1,2,3,v3)

Tsumugi Shirogane × Kaede Akamatsu [Him]

(A/N): This was requested by Tsumugi_Kuranami. It took me awhile to think of a plot thing for this, but I thought of something. I know enough about Tsumugi to write this. Sorry that it took so long, legggooo eggggooooss!!!!!

"Kaede?"

"Yes, Tsumugi?"

"Why is it so dark?" I could see nothing in the pitch darkness that was my girlfriends room.

"It's a surprise, silly!" Kaede giggled.

"Um.. this surprise seems a bit worrisome.. it's too dark." I felt around, worriedly. My fingers brushing against a wall.

"It'll be fine! Trust me!" I felt her hand grip mine, interwinding our fingers.

"O-Okay.." I reached out for her other hand, desperately, but all I felt was a cold hard wall.

"Ready?" She asked in a sing-songy voice.

"Sure?" I asked, concerned.

I heard her grip onto something, like a curtain. Then, drop it to the ground. I still was blind, but soon enough she pressed a light switch, revealing a huge painted canvas.

"Happy birthday!" She let go of my hand and walked directly in front of me, as if to present the canvas.

It was a well drawn painting, clearly. It was a painting of the two of us. Well, memories of us. Pictures that a photographer had taken of us. I smiled, a dreamy smile as I gazed apon all the remarkable memories we had.

Our first date.

Her recital.

Our first fandom we joined.

The first con we went to, wearing matching dresses for the cosplay.

Her birthday.

The first dress she had made. It looked like Princess Peach's.

And those were only afew of them portrayed here.

"Do you like it?" She looked at my face for approval. "Angie painted it.. b-but I doodled the sketch for it.." she pulled a crumpled paper from her backpack and showed it to me.

It had the same proportions and ideas as the final product, but a bit messier. I chuckled a bit looking at this. Until I noticed something, which made my face go cold. "Why's Rantaro in this?"
I asked, pointing to the little sketch in the corner.

"Huh?" She grabbed the paper from my hands and looked it over. "Oh, it was one of the memories I had wanted to put in there.. but Angie told me it was best not to." She put it back in her bag.

"Why did you want to put it in there?" I asked, slightly irritated that she was about to put him in there.

"Becuase, Tsumugi. He's an advancement in our relationship." She was usually level-headed with me, but with Rantaro.. things never end up right.

"You dated him before, Kaede. You know how it is with him." I stared at her through my tears welding up in my eyes. Did she even remember my nightmares back then...?

~○~Flash back-inator~○~

Tsumugi woke up in sweat and tears, hardly able to catch her breath.

"Tsumugi? Are you okay?" Kaede awoke next to her, putting her hand on her shoulder.

"Nightmare.. again." Tsumugi took in some deep breaths to calm herself.

"What happened?" Kaede's hand was now over Tsumugi's shoulders, hoping to embrace her fully.

"Y-You and Rantaro.. you guys got back together.. a-and you were cheating on me.. Then.." she stared at her hands in her lap. "I killed you two.." she began to sob. "Out of jealously!" Tsumugi leaned her head on Kaede's shoulder.

"I.." Kaede stared at the ground in shame. "I'm sorry.."

"It's not your fault.. it's no ones." Tsumugi had a secret hate for Rantaro. That only festered the more she saw him. Talked to him. Or saw Kaede talk to him. She didn't mind the idea of killing him if it meant she and Kaede would stay together, safe.

~○~End-inator~○~

"I know. I remember your night-mares. I remember your history with him." She reached out for me, her eyes telling a paragraph of why she was sorry.

"Then why is he in here?" Tears were already streaming down my face. I tried to stop them, but it was like trying to stop flames from spreading in a log cabin.

"I'm sorry.. but, atleast I didn't put it in the final product." She looked at the ground, then at me. Then the ground. Then at me. "I love you, Tsumugi. You're resident dork, and my best friend!" She reached out to me, hoping that I would take her hand.

"That's not an answer!" My tone grew with each word. "Give me a straight answer, Kaede! Straighter then Kokichi!" I wiped warm tears away from my face with my sleeve. Feeling heat rush to my cheeks from anger.

"I'm sorry.." she still wouldn't look me in the eyes. "Just.. don't kill anyone.. I font want you going to jail for it.."

"You think that I would kill over you!?"

"You've talked about it before, told me about your dreams.. I don't want you losing it." This time, she gripped onto my wrist firmly. "Please."

"I'm not going to!" I pulled my wrist away. "But, I'm not gonna let that avocado-headed intruder exist here anymore!"

(Good Ending)

"Tsumugi.." She grabbed onto both of my wrists and looked me straight in the eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears. They poured down like a dam starting to crack open. "Don't do this. I don't want to lose you for a second time!"

"Second time..?" I didn't back away. I didn't try to get out of her grip. I stayed, and listened. "What do you mean? You never lost me before.." My voice trailed off, as she responded in an irritated tone.

"Yes, I did! You know that I did! You lost it with Rantaro, and the Tsumugi that I had known for so long was gone! She was only a faint memory that I had! I liked dork Tsumugi! The one that knows all the references! The one that painted my nails for the first time! I know that you were kind of outshined by him, but come on! Him and I are over!" My arms limped, allowing her to let go of my wrists. "Believe me, Tsumugi.. please?"

[.Bad Ending.]
