Danganronpa Oneshots (PG-13)

Ryoma Hoshi x Prisoner!Reader

POV of Reader

"You wanna play another round, (Y/n)?" Ryoma asked. "Sure thing, Hoshi," I called back. He picked up a tennis ball and served it to me. I was a decent tennis player, but Ryoma was the best of the best.

We were both prisoners and good friends. We've been through a lot together. Ryoma Hoshi was on death row for murdering an entire mafia. I wasn't on death row, but I wasn't leaving anytime soon. But, Hoshi told me he was leaving.. to the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles for this Gofer Project thing.. I hadn't even told him how I really felt about him.. For a murderer, he really stole my heart. I knew that empty shell still had some love in there, but he wouldn't crack... Sure, he didn't look like he had a soul at all.. But, it's still there. I know it...

"Hey, Hoshi, time out!" I called. He stopped and set the ball down, walking up to the net. I met up with him at the middle and leaned against the net. He did the same. "What's up?" He asked. "Nothin'.. Just need a break," I mumbled. He nodded and looked up. "So, you're really gonna do that Gofer Project thing?" I asked. "Yeah.. At least I've got a chance at living," he said, "You'll meet me on the outside, right?" "In a couple decades, yeah," I chuckled. He smirked. "Listen, Hoshi.." I said, "I know how you are with what's happened.. And you being hesitant about falling in love again and all that.." He looked up at me. "But.. I've just gotta get it off my chest before you leave.." I sighed. I looked down at him and he nodded. "I.. I love you, Ryoma.. I really do.. and I don't know if you're really gonna make it through this Gofer Project, but-" I'm cut off by Ryoma's hand on top of mine. "(Y/n).. ya really mean that?" he asked, staring up at me sincerely.. "Well, yeah.. You've made life here.. better.. Not easier, but more tolerable.." I mumbled, stammering a bit. He took his lollipop stick out of his mouth and gestured at me to come down to his level. I bent down and leaned against the net, with Hoshi in front of me. He kept one hand on top of my hand and the other on my cheek. "(Y/n), I know I've made it look like I don't wanna be in another relationship after that whole thing.. The truth is.. I've just been waiting for the right girl to come along.." he mumbled. I looked into his eyes and he stared straight back. "I love you, (Y/n).. I always have.." he whispered. He grinned stupidly at me and I smiled back. Then, he pulled me by my arms into a kiss. He broke the kiss after a few seconds, his cheeks turning pink. He looked around nervously. "Nobody saw that?" He asked anxiously. "No, relax.." I giggled.He sighed and kissed me again quickly. He chuckled. "It's almost lights out.." I mumbled. "Right.. I'll see you tomorrow, bright and early," he winked. "As usual.." I laughed.

He started to pick up his tennis racket when I called out, "Hoshi!" He looked back at me. I walked up to him and bent down again. "Make sure I get to see you after I'm released," I whispered. He nodded and I kissed him quickly on the cheek. He picked up the racket and we walked in separate directions...
