Ishimondo Oneshots- Survival

"Alrighty, then!  If you're done voting, lets find out who killed Mr. Chihiro Fujisaki!"

The students all looked hopefully at Monokuma, hoping that they were corrcEt in assuming that Byakuya Togami had killed Chihiro.

"Annnnd...  You are incorrect!  Mr. Togami, in fact, did not kill Chihiro Fujisaki!  It was... Drum-roll please!   Mr. Mondo Oowada!"

"WHAT?  My bro would never do such a thing!  Right?  Right, Mondo?"

Mondo just looked down at the floor, tears coming to his eyes.

"I just-  I didn't know what to do and- and I k-killed him.  In cold blood.  Goddammit!  Why am I so stupid?  All over just some stupid little secret!  He made me jealous and-"  Mondo came crashing down from his anger. "I killed him."  He whispered.

Mondo fell onto his knees and started so sob.  His entire body was shaking and Taka looked as if he was in shock.

"N-no.  I refuse to believe it!  Show me the proof!"

"Kid- I would know who killed Chihiro.  You can't just say that he didn't do anything wrong just because he's your boyfriend.  Do you really think I would lie to you?"  Asked Monokuma.

"He's n-not my boyfriend."

"Anyway, time to vote two people off the island!  Metaphorically speaking, that is.  Basically, the two people who get the most votes will be executed together!  So despair inducing, isn't it?  Anyway, you'll have five minutes to talk to whoever you want to get you votes in line!  Good luck!" Laughed Monokuma.

Kiyotaka rushed over to Mondo, grabbing tightly onto his shoulders and not letting go.

"Hey, bro, I can't help you with this.  Go talk to s-someone else.  Please.  Before I say something that'll make you hate me even more."

"I don't hate you, Mondo.  Wait- even more?  What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, Taka.  Really."

"Well, I'm not leaving until the time is up.  I just- if I have to die, I want you to tell my family and I want to tell you something, but only when the time is up.  I don't want to hear your response."

"Huh?  Well, okay, I guess."

Taka gave Mondo his parents' adress, and they both sat in silence for the five minutes that they had together.

"30 seconds left!  Say your last words- er...  Well, you know."

Taka and Mondo shared a tight embrace, and then Mondo heard four words that he thought he would never hear.

"I love you, Mondo.  Don't say anything.  I don't want my death to not matter to me.  You're the only thing that's keeping me alive."

"Time's up, kids!  March your butts back on over to your designated spots, and cast your votes!  Remember, this time, you can vote for two people!"

Taka voted for Makoto and Kyoko, and waited for everyone else to vote.

"Alright, lets see who gets to die!  Upupupupu!  Well, this was a close vote!  Makoto Naegi got 5 votes, Kyoko Kirigri got 3, and Kiyotaka Ishimaru got 3!  I guess we'll have a tie breaker vote!  Only pick one this time!"

Taka was devastated.  He thought everyone trusted him. 

This time, Makoto, Kyoko, and Taka weren't allowed to vote.  

"Alright!  This time, Taka got... 3 votes and Kyoko got five!  Alright- Taka- you good?"

"I'm f-fine.  Go on."

"Okay!  Makoto and Kyoko, any last words?"

"We only have four.  Beat him for us."

"We will.  I swear it." Said Sakura, her voice wavering.

"Let's go have an execution!  Mondo, I have something to explain to you, but that can wait until after their execution!"

Taka stayed at the front the entire execution, avoiding eye contact with Mondo but glancing at him out of the corner of his eye a few times.  After the execution, everyone stood silent for a moment, taking in what had just happened.

"Alrighty then!  Mondo, come with me!  The rest of you can go back to your rooms!"

Taka walked slowly back to his room, wondering idly what they would do now that their top dectectives were dead.  He found himself at Mondo's door, unable to walk any further.  He rang the doorbell, but there was no response.  He figured that Mondo hadn't came back from speaking with Monokuma and decided that he would wait on him.  

Taka slid down Mondo's door and sat on the floor.  It was concrete, but the flooring in all of their rooms was carpet, and Taka could feel it brush against his fingers when they touched the floor.  He pulled his knees up to his chest and started to cry.  By this time, everyone was in their rooms, so no one heard him, except for Mondo walking down the  hallway towards his room.

"Taka? What are you doing here?  You should be in bed."  Whispered Mondo.

"I just needed to m-make sure you were okay."

"I'm okay, b-Taka.  About what you told me earlier; I thought about it, and I love you too."

"You- what?"

Mondo unlocked his door, reaching down to help Taka up and then picking him up and carrying him bridal-style into his room.

"Hey!" Shouted Taka as soon as Mondo's door shut.

"You can't just tell me you love me too and then run into your bathroom!  That's not fair!"

Mondo laughed, walking out of the bathroom.

"Sorry, man.  I had to piss."

Taka laughed, then abruptly stopped, remembering what Mondo had done.

"M-Mondo," said Taka with tears coming into his eyes.  "C-can we please forget this ever happened?  I just- I want to forget that Chihiro- that he-" Taka broke down on Mondo's floor, sliding down onto his knees.

"Of course, Taka."  Said Mondo, sitting down in front of Taka and warpping his arms around his waist, pulling Taka into his lap.  Taka turned around so that his back was pressed into Mondo's chest and held both of Mondo's hands in his own.  Mondo rested his head on top of Taka's, thinking about what Monokuma had said to him.
