Danganronpa: DISCONTINUED

Branching Out

After Junko's "Execution" as Monokuma calls it, everyone seemed to stay in closer proximity to everyone else...

Needless to say, Everyone was still tense over all the deaths. Two deaths happened so suddenly, we weren't exactly sure of what to do.

I tried my absolute best to keep everyone's mind off it. Mondo, Hagakure, and Kiyotaka just tried to go back to how it used to be. They went back to rough housing and playing fortune teller. Celestia, Toko, and Byakyua were hardly affected at all by the deaths. If anything, they just went on as they'd usually though. Though Byakyua and I still play games of chest to "Keep the rivalry alive", in his words. Chihiro, Naegi, and Kyoko had each other and myself to help them. The only one who even needed a distraction was Aoi Asahina. She just locked herself up room ever since the trial and frankily, I don't think I can really blame her..

I mean, How could I? Her best friend died and then she tried to kill everyone for revenge, only to learn that doing so would be in direct conflict with what Sakura wanted... Not many people would be okay if they were given that sort of hand.

Knowing what kind of games Monokuma plays, and also because I refused to see a friend fall to Despair, Chihiro and I spent the day trying to make donuts to try and help Aoi smile.

And by Chihiro and I, I actually mean that Chihiro instructed me how to make them. While his batch seemed more presentable, mine were... Certainly edible. I think.

Chihiro: I still think your batch looked good. Besides, I think Aoi would pay more attention to the idea behind them; rather then just judge the donuts for their looks.
(YN): I'm just.. Bad at the kitchen.

As I admitted a flaw, Chihiro giggled and walked ahead of me as he knocked Aoi's door.

It took a moment, but Aoi did open the door. She seemed to have just woken up judging from how her hair wasn't in its signature bun that it would always be in.

Aoi: Oh.. Hi guys
(YN): Heya! So we noticed that you have been.. alone for a bit. So me and Chihiro decided to bake some donuts and see if you wanted to hangout with us? Maybe we can swim, train, or you can even teach us how to cook! I tried to bake some donuts but I...uh.
Chihiro: He didn't want you to see how he baked them. I happen to think they looked good.
(YN): Shushh.
Chihiro: so uh.. would you like to hangout?

Aoi looked down at the batch of donuts and reached out for a chocolate one. She seemed to be analyzing it with a careful eye and took a bite out of it. Her eyes brightened up a bit as she began to eat the donut and smiled as she clasped her hands together. She gave a smile that I almost immediately saw through and took a step back from the door.

Aoi: I'd be happy to hangout with you two..! Just let me get ready for a moment. Wait here, 'Kay?
Chibiro: Mhm! We can wait.

It was only now that I realized that Aoi was only wearing a tank top and panties as she closed the door. I diverted my eyes as she closed the door and looked down to see Chihiro look at me with a huff.

He clearly noticed what I glanced at.

(YN): Yes?
Chihiro: N-No staring..
(YN): I only had a glance, Hun. Calm down. Besides, I'm only interested in you.
Chihiro: ..G-Good...

The little one's face slightly reddened as I called him "Hun". He seemed to enjoy pet names such as that.

I'll definitely try to come up with more. As long as I can see that blush and smile again-

Aoi opened the door in her casual attire and cheered as she grabbed another donut. As she took a bite of the donut, she glanced over at me and seemingly recalled something.
