Danganronpa One Shots!

Stand Up [Human! Kiibo x Mukuro]

Requested by: @reaper787

    Kiibo, a second year at Hope's Peak saw Mukuro Ikusaba at least 3 times a week. She wasn't anyone that he particularly knew, but they'd seen one another in the halls or the library. Mukuro was in the class ahead of his, and never without her sister, Junko, which was the only reason the two had never spoken. Kiibo was intimidated by Junko, a bit scared of her larger than life personality. But.. One day, Mukuro was alone. She was in the library when he saw her, looking particularly gloomy.
"Hello." Kiibo had approached her as she sat, slouched over a table.
"Who are you?" She looked up to his face, her eyes meeting his hopeful ones.
"My name is Kiibo. I've seen you around." he explained.
"What are you, a stalker..?" Mukuro sat up. "Why are you bothering me?" Kiibo felt his face grow hot. He'd always seen her. The scene of meeting her had played over and over in his mind, but it was never like this. He never imagined that his heart would be pounding so loudly.
"You just..looked upset." Kiibo looked her in the eye, meeting a cold gaze.
"Junko...is too ill to attend school today.. But she still made me go." Mukuro sighed, resting her head on the table. "It's no fun without her here to bully me.. or boss me around.." she whined. Kiibo was in slight shock.
"You..you want her to insult you...?" Kiibo tilted his head. "Why?"
"Tch. Someone as hopeful as you..would never understand." But deep down, Mukuro felt something. She was so used to emptiness...why? She looked back up at him. Kiibo, had been taken aback at first, but confidently took Mukuro's hands in his with a bright smile.
"I think you should stand up to Junko. That way.. We can be close friends!!" Mukuro froze, and then a small smile worked it's way onto her face, accompanied by a blush.
"Alright." Mukuro absently agreed. Kiibo smiled.
"Yes!" he cheered. "Mukuro... Let's be hopeful..together!!"
