Run, that's all I thought about but I froze. Why? Why couldn't I just run?! I was hit again and again, why couldn't I be born a girl? They would love me then, right?  My dad then walked in with a heavy metal bat in his hand. I couldn't survive that, so with the last bits of my energy I ran to the door. Locks littered it and so did many nails facing me near them. If I aimed my body right I could avoid the nails and get the door open, but I had to do it now they were coming for me. With that thought, I lined up and body-slammed into the door landing outside. Looking to the doorway my mother stood there with a furious look on her face and so did my dad. They couldn't come out, Monokuma bots would rip them to shreds the second they found them. I scrambled back to my feet seeing the gun in my mother's hand be reloaded. I wouldn't die here, so once again I ran.

I'm running, sobbing, and my knees feel like they'll give out. Yet I didn't have to worry much more as I bumped into someone that sent me crashing to the concrete ground. "Hey!" I tried to lift myself and with a few attempts I became successful. There stood 3 healthy kids or tweens, teens maybe, two boys, and a girl, red, blue, and pink hair. They looked so healthy compared to my sickly pale, cut, and bruised skin, they also looked fed, well-fed at that. I began to wonder what a meal was like before the red boy stooped down to me and waved his hand in my face causing me to flinch. "Are you able to hear me? You okay?" That was the girl's voice.

"I-im sorry!" I just realized I bumped into the boy and sat there like a dumbass. "What happened to you? And your Monokuma mask? " The girl seemed to show genuine concern as she bent down to me with the boy. That's when it hit me, these were the kids my age that killed so many parents, they helped build a utopia for us. Though certain parents got away, I think their group name was The Warriors Of Hope? No matter, I can trust them. "M-my parents...I don't have a-a Uhm, a Monokuma mask..." When did I get so soft-spoken? Come on you're supposed to be a man (Y/N)!

"Kotoko didn't we kill all the parents a while ago? Are there even more survivors we can play games with?!" The red boy had stars in his eyes with a wide grin as the girl smiled. "That'd be great!" The blue-headed boy walked over and extended a hand, again out of instinct I flinched. "Masaru, Kotoko, we have to get him to help first. Do you think Monaca knows what to do?" Monaca?

"We'll just have to ask, now come on!" I tried to grab the boy's hand but my arm ached so much. "I-i don't think I can move..." The blue boy sighed and lifted my arm around his shoulder and I think Masaru boy took my other.

---------------

We've been walking for a bit, they were talking among themselves as I looked around paranoid. "I'm Masaru, what's your name?" I looked up and the redhead boy, now confirmed as Masaru was looking down at me. "(Y-Y/N)." He just seemed to smile wider.

----------------

It's been a week now, my bruises and cuts have healed. I've gotten close to the Warriors of Hope and meet Jataro as well. Nagito is apparently their servant and has been tending to me on their command, Monaca is a sweet girl and has accepted me into the Warriors Of Hope. Kotoko is sweet but also kind of hot-headed depending on the words you say, Nagisa is very level headed compared to everyone else and super smart. Masaru is very athletic and loud, yet very determined to catch my parents so we may torture them until their inevitable death. I'm unsure if it's common or boys to like other boys like this.

"Hey (Y/N)! Feeling better?" He's also very protective over me for whatever reason. I nodded, "Yeah, I've been better for a bit but will be perfect once my parents are tried for their crimes and annoyances." He broke into another large grin and sat next to me. Monaca had given me the title of Lil' Ultimate Survivor because of my parent's endless torture. This caused my room to be filled with a few weapons to fight with but large amounts of medical supplies alongside with a few books of survival guides. I seemed to live up to it well with the help of Masaru.

"Today's valentines." I perked my head up at that, I couldn't believe it was February 14th. "If that's true are you going to confess to Kotoko?" He blushed and flinched back. "Why does everyone think I like her?!" I laughed and shrugged. "You've been talking a lot with her and Nagisa and I have seen your blush each time recently." I felt off saying those words but it's whatever makes him happy. "That's not it!"

I sighed and motioned him to go on. "I've been asking her advice on out to ask out someone else. And i-if what I've been feeling is natural." I stuffed a laugh, Masaru truly is clueless when it comes to romantics, plus he's so shy on the subject. "So who's the lucky one then?"

That's when a bag was shoved at me while something pressed against my cheek. After a few moments, I realized Masaru just kissed my on the cheek. Least to say I fizzled out but not before saying I like him too.

*-----------*
So, I tried.

I got really clueless cause I don't do well with angsty shiz and after a while, this is the happiest I've been with this one-shot. Sorry if it's shit regardless.
