Oumasai Oneshots

(Ouma x Saihara) Safe and Sound

The hydraulic press.

That was the last thing Ouma remembered.

The plan was simple, yet the thought of knowing that you had to die soon wasn't the nicest.

But here he was, the press lowering, everything closing in. He kept convincing himself that it'll all be over soon. The press will crush him and everybody would be free if that moron, of course, will do everything correct. He won't be able to be there with everyone in the outside world, to see DICE, to see...

Shuichi smile one more time.

But at least he'll know that they're all fine, the remaining survivors. And maybe, just maybe, he'll be able to watch over them when they get out. Press got lowered. Ouma closed his eyes. Here it comes. He's gonna die. He's gonna-

SMASH!

And with that...the press crushed him.

He then felt himself being in a dark abyss. Numbers. Numbers everywhere. Ones and zeroes appearing and disappearing. What was this place? However before he had the chance to react, he was blinded by a bright light. He reached out and...

Ouma woke up breathing heavily. He looked around frantically. Where is he?! What is this?! No, he shouldn't be panicking. He took a deep breath, before finally calming down and examining his surroundings. He wasn't on the press and it didn't even look as if he was in any of the locations in the enclosed school they were trapped in. This looked like a... hospital. He looked at his arm. It had a dark bracelet which had just flashed green text.

Restoration Process: Successful
Possible Damage: None Detected
Current Status: Awake

Awake? What does that mean? He then heard a sound he didn't expect to hear. Car engines and birds chirping. What were cars and birds doing in the dome? They weren't there before. He looked out the window and gasped in shock.

He wasn't in the school building, he wasn't even in the dome, he was...

Back in the outside world.

Tall buildings lined the horizon. People walked along the streets, happy and smiling as cars drove past them. Birds flew in the sky chirping. Sun shined brightly and he felt the slight wind brush against his skin as it came inside the room through the open window. Ouma felt himself tear up. Is the killing game over? Was it all just some twisted dream that he had finally woken up from? He suddenly heard footsteps coming from the hallway. He immediately lied down pretending to sleep. If this turned out to be some lie he would rather just be oblivious for a little longer. Plus eavesdropping can be good.

He heard the footsteps closer and closer. They didn't sound like Monokuma, but this person can be someone else. Like Kaede or Kaito or Shuichi. Then, a sudden smell of sweet lavender showed up in the room. Did this person hold flowers? Either way, Ouma loved the smell of lavender. Did this person know that was his favorite flower? Maybe it was one of his friends from DICE?

"Hey, Ouma... You know it's been a while. You out of everyone here seem to be taking longer than anyone else in the simulation... You're the last one left to wake up" Suddenly a voice spoke. Ouma quickly recognized the voice. Saihara-chan. But what was Shuichi doing here? Why would he visit him after he screamed at him that 'he'll always be alone'? To be honest Ouma couldn't even be mad at Shuichi for that. He loved Shuichi and everything Shuichi said was true anyway. Nobody would remember him after his inevitable death.
