Danganronpa Oneshot Collection

Significant Discovery - Kamukoma

Kamukura ends up having a much more interesting day with Komaeda than he predicted. A fluffy little winter piece.

Kamukura walked through the park on this rare occasion that the Hope Peak's staff had allowed him off campus without someone attempting to tail him. It was a brisk winter morning, but he still only wore his sleek black suit. He preferred it over all other options and the sting of the cold air felt slightly less boring than the numb warmth that came with wearing a coat.

But that was the only thing that this day had going for it.

Just like every day before it, this day was turning out to be mind numbingly boring. The setting had changed slightly, but the park off campus was just as predictable as every other location he had been.

"Kamukura-kun?"

The ultimate hope let out a bored sigh. It was apparently even occupied by the same people.

Kamukura didn't even bother turning to face the person approaching, instead just stating in his monotone voice, "Komaeda."

Komaeda apparently took this as an invitation to stand by his side, the two gazing at the lake that was beginning to freeze over. They stood in silence for a while, (three minutes and 47 seconds, Kamukura noted) before Komaeda spoke again, "Aren't you cold?"

"Yes."

Komaeda hummed for a moment at that response, before silently slipping out of his coat. The white haired boy shivered as it came off. Kamukura was unsurprised when he felt the warmth of the coat surround him, although he did make note of the fact that it felt nicer, as it had been warmed with body heat beforehand.

He noted it was comforting. Unnecessary, but comforting.

"You didn't need to do that. Are not you now just as cold as I was?" Kamukura observed.

Komaeda consciously stopped himself from shivering before smiling at the long haired boy next to him, "Kamukura-kun, you needn't worry yourself with lowly trash like me! I'm happy to be used as a stepping stone for your hope to shine, and I'd happily give up my comfort to do so! For me to be useful to someone as amazing as you is my greatest dream-"

As Komaeda rambled, Kamukura tuned him out, instead choosing to stare up at the sky.

"It's going to snow," he concluded, interrupting Komaeda mid rant.

"Ah. Is it? It didn't say so on the weather report this morning, but who am I to doubt an Ultimate such as yourself!"

Kamukura stared at Nagito for a moment before stating the obvious, "It's going to snow and you have no coat."

Komaeda blinked once, before his face burst into an even wider smile, "Are you concerned for me, Kamukura-kun? Well it's as I said before-"

But Komaeda was stopped before he finished that sentence. He was silenced by a large snowflake landing squarely on his nose. A shiver ran down his spine.

"It is illogical to stay out here any longer. I assume you live nearby?" Nagito nodded and Kamukura continued, "We'll stay there until the snow storm passes."

"Snow storm?" Komaeda lifted an eyebrow, then his eyes widened as he took in the rest of what Kamukura had just said, "Wait, we? You want to stay at my house?"

"It is the most logical conclusion," Kamukura stated, "I walked here from Hope's Peak."

"From Hope's Peak?" Nagito's eyes somehow widened even further, "That's over ten miles away!"

Kamukura nodded, glancing up at the snow, now falling considerably harder and faster, "Yes. Now we should stop wasting time with inconsequential discourse and take cover."
