It was two hours before a trial to decide who almost assaulted Makoto Naegi in his sleep. It's quite terrifying when you think about it, almost dying in your sleep. Survival of the fittest, I guess. I know a whole lot about that, as the Ultimate Survivalist. It's part of my job, 'ya know? 
I was walking with Byakuya, talking about nothing in particular. I grew a liking to him because of the fact he also felt that becoming "friends" with everyone would ultimately be useless. 

"Who do you think almost assaulted Makoto? Sick bastard is who..." I don't like people who try to hurt others. It's sickening. Our ancestors only hurt each other for territory and food. We're a modern society, so we shouldn't be fighting for little, stupid things like... this. 

"Now, now, y/n. No need to be so hostile. Perhaps the mastermind did this. After all, I haven't seen that mask on school grounds... or, have you?" Byakuya questioned. He didn't want to see y/n angry, especially over Makoto. 

"Ugh, thanks, Byakuya. And, you're right! I haven't seen that mask anywhere... at least I don't think... ughh, why were we forced here?! It's so... violent! I would much rather be hiking, or camping, with nature! Though, if we were never here, I wouldn't have gotten to know you, Byakuya! Guess some things are for the better." 
Byakuya felt his face heating up. y/n... liked his company?! It was crazy, having such an amazing person like him. 

"I, uh, the same towards you! Ahem, so, the mastermind might have done this! The only question, then, is... who is the mastermind?" 
y/n thought for a moment, even stopping dead in their tracks. Who would be the mastermind? Well, Mukuro is dead, so it couldn't be her... the real Junko might be somewhere, but... 

"I don't know. Though I don't want to think about it, either. Maybe we can talk about it in the trial. Wanna get something to eat? I'm a bit starved." I wrapped my arm around my stomach. Byakuya laughed and nodded. We both walked to the kitchen, though he insisted we go quicker so I don't get hungrier. 
After a quick bite to eat, I had to leave Byakuya. I wanted to explore the place one last time before the trial. He insisted I stay since we still had an hour and a half. 
"Byakuya. I want to look around just in case we missed something important. Please, just let me. Wait... I can do whatever I want! So then I'll leave. See ya in the trial, I guess." I walked away and waved goodbye, oblivious to Byakuya's emotions. 

Byakuya was fuming. How dare they just walk away?! It's okay, deep breaths. He didn't want y/n to know that he was the mastermind, the person they oh-so hated. Would he have to lie? It sure seemed like it. But what to do, what to do... 
Byakuya walked to the data center and entered the mysterious Monokuma door. It was the mastermind's surveillance office, his favorite place to be. He observed the many monitors and found y/n walking around. They made him feel... complete. It was an incredible experience even being near them. It was heaven on Earth. 

"Monokuma, please execute, no, please capture the rest of the students and put them... in the gymnasium with no possible way to open the doors or escape. And capture y/n and... put them in my dorm. Er... no, leave them in their dorm." Byakuya waved Monokuma away. The bear nodded and scrambled away, most likely to tamper with the air filtration. Byakuya grabbed a bobblehead from a corner of the desk and fiddled with its head. He checked the many monitors to unsurprisingly discover that all the students were getting knocked out. He checked y/n's dorm to see her lying on their bed, seemingly asleep. He smiled. 

y/n awoke in their bed with a splitting headache. 
"Mhg, what just happened...?" They mumbled to themselves. They looked around their room to see Byakuya sitting on the corner of their bed. 
"B-Byakuya? What are you doing here, in my room, I mean?" they questioned. Byakuya laughed and turned around. He wore a ripped dress shirt with an open vest. He had a completely black tie that was undone and had a strange marking on it, a bit like Monokuma's eye. It looked like he had heterochromia. One of his eyes was its regular blue, while the other was a bright red. 

"Byakuya?! What the hell?? Why are you dressed like... that?! Or is this a hallucination? Yeah, it must be... I must've eaten something bad..." y/n mumbled to themselves. Byakuya held their hand, reassuring that this wasn't a dream. 

"This isn't a hallucination, sweet y/n. This is real. As real as the woods." 

"Then answer my damn question! Why the hell are you dressed weird?? And do you have a contact on or something?" they shouted out in anguish.

"Now, before I tell you, know that none of what I am going to say is a lie. Okay? None of it is a lie in any way. I would never lie to you. Understood?" Byakuya asked. y/n nodded in anticipation. 

"Okay... you know how earlier today we were talking about who the mastermind was? Well, I'm the mastermind. I, Byakuya Togami, am the mastermind of this killing game. None of it is a lie, once again," he announced. Byakuya had gotten up to gesture dramatically. y/n stared at him with fear, confusion, and curiosity. Mostly fear, though.

"You... YOU. You were the one who forced us here. You were the one who forced your classmates to murder each other. You, YOU..." y/n was able to make out. They were fuming. What was this guy even talking about?! Byakuya has gone insane!

"My dear y/n, please do not get angry at me. It's just that... everything is filled to the brim with hope, it's rather boring. So, I decided to inflict despair to those I care most about, my classmates. Can't you see? I care deeply about you! So much so, that why don't we escape from here and live a peaceful life together? Away from both hope and despair. Live a calm, normal, positively perfect life. What do you say?" Byakuya tried not to mumble or stutter when he confessed his love to y/n. They were just so perfect... who wouldn't want to be with them?
y/n, however, was far from disgusted. They were revolted. What the hell?! Was this guy for real?!

"Byakuya... you can't be serious. If I'm to understand this whole situation correctly... you're the mastermind that forced all of us to kill each other, and then you expect me to jump into your arms, head-over-heels in love after you just told me that?! The hell are you expecting?? Me to say 'yes, I love you to my grave!'?! You're insane. Batshit crazy." y/n got up, pushed Byakuya away, and walked towards the door...

...only to find it locked.

"Oh, silly little y/n... why would I leave the door unlocked?"

A u t h o r ' s  N o t e s : here it is!! this Byakuya chapter was inspired by this story!:

wattpad.com/455183510-danganronpa-mastermind-x-reader-request-open

it's a bit, uh... it says some lemon-y things? i didn't like it because of that, but the whole "Byakuya is a yandere and he loves y/n!!" i liked. and i also made y/n androgynous because i don't know if guys are reading this!! 
i spent so much time on this thing, and it was worth it! this chapter is probably one of my favorites! next chapter i might branch out to V3 and SDR2 cause i've written too many danganronpa 1 chapters :/
anyway, i hope you enjoyed this chapter!
