Ain't My Fault (DRA/SDRA2 One-Shots and Short Stories)

Syobai x Sora ; Not Just AI

  " Let's end this."

  With that, the entire trial room turned black, the remaining survivors all looked at each other, confused and relieved. Though, there was one less face in the crowd.

" Where's...Sora?"

Syobai glanced around, narrowing his eyes before shaking his head and frowning as he stood in silence.

" She just disappeared!" Kabuya gasped, holding her wrist," But she couldn't have...."

" We were in a simulation, she could've been woken up before the rest of us," Syobai muttered, shrugging.

" It's...a possibility..." Yuki glanced away, his eyes scanning the black room," are we still in the trial room?"

  " Who knows? I just want to get out of here..." the broker muttered, glancing away and sighing.

  Where did you go Sora? Maybe you were woken up before the rest of us...I hope...

  The broker sighed, closing his eyes for a moment before opening them," Shouldn't we be awake by now?"

  " Be patient, it may take a while," Teruya mumbled, glancing at the remaining students for a moment," hopefully Tsurugi knows what he's doing..."

  Then, there was silence once more among the students.

Syobai frowned, glancing away and taking a deep breath as some hair fell in front of his face. The broker was silent, his hands falling down to his sides,"...ngh..."

" Syobai, are you alright?" Teruya asked quietly, raising an eyebrow.

" It's...nothing..." the broker muttered, closing his eyes.

Sora...where are you? You're one of the only people I actually care about...where are you-?

The broker groaned, collapsing to his knees and gripping his chest tightly.

" Syobai!" Yuki gasped, running over to the other male and gripping his shoulder tightly and slightly shaking him.

" Ah..." Syobai's heart raced faster and he took a few deep breaths,"...I'm fine...see? I'm fine..." he laughed a small bit under his breath before groaning once more and he fell forward onto the black ground.

" You aren't fine!" the luckster frowned, narrowing his eyes slightly as Syobai pushed himself up, grinning slightly before collapsing once more.

Sora...you'll be there right? You'll be there...right? I'll be able to see you, right?

" He's getting cold! Oh God, is he dying?!" Yuki panicked, Teruya eventually running over and kneeling down.

" Relax, Rei and Tsurugi are possibly killing his in-game avatar, they're waking him up...just relax Yuki, it's going to be fine," the former merchant said, smiling nervously.

I'll be there soon...

" Syobai? You're face in turning red..."

Syobai glanced up, raising an eyebrow before sighing," Eh...?" he frowned slightly, before laughing a small bit.

Ah hell, I'm in love with Sora...

  Syobai glanced around at everyone, closing his eyes and smiling slightly.

  I'll see you all there...
