(Y/N) =Your name
The song used is "If We Have Each Other" by Alec Benjamin
-For my friend-

You were walking. You had gotten lost in the large halls of Hope’s Peak Academy. After what you had just heard the monotone bear said, you began to freak out. So you ran out of the gymnasium. After a while, you realised that you had gone through the entire school multiple times. You look to one of the clocks on the wall. 9:30. Almost curfew. You were still freaking out, but you decided to try to keep a calm head. You went to the room with your name plate on it. You walk in. It seemed comfortable enough. Nothing was really wrong with it, other than the metal plates on the windows. Although, you had gotten kind of used to them, considering you just walked through the halls full of them. You thought back to the crowd you had met just before that Monokuma thing showed up. The names and faces flashing through your mind. You didn’t recall knowing anyone from before. Leon Kuwata? There was no way you had ever encountered the Ultimate Baseball Star. Chihiro Fujisaki? You feel like you would remember a girl as small as herself. 

Then it clicked. Makoto Naegi. You were sure you knew him. You couldn’t tell how. You try to remember, but to no avail. In the midst of your concentrating, you hear a tv or monitor turn on. You look up to the screen above your bed. A picture of Monokuma showed up. “Mm, ahem, this is a school announcement,” He says. “It is now 10 p.m. As such, it is officially nighttime. Soon the doors to the dining hall will be locked, and entry at that point is strictly prohibited. Okay then...sweet dreams, everyone! Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite…” You shiver at the thought of this bear. Forcing you into a game like this. It was sick! ‘Who would do this?’ you thought to yourself. You begin to tear up. What about your family? All your friends at home? You try to brush it off, but the tears continue to roll down your face. Eventually, you fall asleep, crying and confused. 

When you wake up, it isn’t to the sound of an alarm. It was to the sound of Monokuma. This annoyed you, being that he trapped you in such a terrible game. He was the last thing you wanted to wake up to. Since it was 7 a.m., you thought it best to get up anyways. You cleaned your face off, fixed your outfit, and walked out. You walked into the dining hall, expecting everybody to be in bed, ignoring Monokuma’s announcement. Everyone looked up at you. Well, almost everyone. Byakuya Togami, Toko Fukawa, and Kyoko Kirigiri weren’t there. That was kind of expected though. “(Y/N), you weren’t with us when we agreed to meet here. How did you know?” Sayaka Maizono questioned you. You were almost surprised she was even talking to you. She was the Ultimate Pop Idol after all. Why would she talk to you? But this wasn’t your main concern at the time. “I didn’t” You say. “I just came here looking for food,”. “Well, there’s plenty here!” Chihiro says with a smile. This seems to make you a bit more comfortable. You really liked her smile. She was adorable. You couldn’t believe they put her in this. You all get food and begin to eat. 

Later, you all begin to converse. You weren’t nearly as freaked out as you were last night, so you stayed. You glance over to see Naegi walking towards you. “Hey, (Y/N)” He says, looking almost nervous. “Hello Makoto,” You say. “I need to ask you something,”. “What is it?” He asks, looking into your eyes. “Um, do I know you from somewhere? I feel like we’ve met before but-” The almost disappointed look Makoto gives you cuts you off. “Ah, I’m sorry!” “No, it’s fine,” He says, soon dismissing it. “It’s not like anyone would remember someone like me. I mean, I don’t even have a real talent,”. “Stop that!” You say, lightly punching his arm. “Could you please specify where I know you from? Maybe then I can remember you better,”. “Right!” He says. His eyes light up. “We were in the same middle school classes for like two years,” He looks up at you to see if you remember. 

Of course! Makoto Naegi! You remembered him now. He was an average student. Average grades, average friends, average belongings, and, until you realised now, average looks. Now that you get to actually talk to him and see him closer, he seems a lot cuter. “Oh yeah!” You speak again after a couple of seconds. “I remember now!” He seems happy. “Great! Now we both know at least one person from outside this place!” He says, half-joking and half-serious. He does seem to lighten the mood though, since you find yourself giggling at the comment he made. You felt things might not be as bad as you thought they would be. He would be able to keep you company, as long as you both stayed alive.

~Time Skip, 9:30 p.m.~

    You were, once again, in your room crying. This was too much to take in, too much to handle. Mondo and Leon got into a fight. Yelling was hard enough for you to deal with, but fist fights made you completely break down. You never knew why. After they began fighting, you just started crying and ran to your room. You remembered the worried look on Makoto’s face as you began to flee. You had begun to wish you stayed and told him where you were going and why. You hadn’t talked to him much before, but, for some reason, you felt comfortable and safe around him. 

    You heard a knock on the door. You looked up. “Who is it?” You ask, voice still shaking. “Makoto,” The visitor replies. You pause for a moment before allowing him to come in. “Is everything alright?” He asks before he even finishes Closing the door. “You kinda just ran out,”. There it was again. That small feeling of regret for not telling him. “Y-yeah” you say. “I’m fine,”. “Your voice is still shaking,” He points out. “It would be better for you to just talk about how you feel. I-I mean- Unless you aren’t comfortable with talking to m-” You cut him off by throwing yourself into his arms, crying once again. “A-ah! Why don’t we go s-sit down first?” You look up at him and nod before making your way to the bed. 

    You sit there for a few moments, unable to talk because the crying is choking you. Still, Makoto holds you. He wanted to make sure you were okay. Once finally able to talk, you begin to tell him how you feel about the situation and how it was affecting you. “Listen, I know this is hard for you. It’s hard for everybody. But we can all work together and get through this! And, about the fighting, they’re probably always like that. They weren’t trying to make you upset. They just got irritated. It was probably just the situation getting to them,” He reassured you. Once again, you heard the nighttime announcement. Makoto got up to leave, but had been stopped by you grabbing his arm. He looked back at you. “I don’t want you to leave” You say quietly. You begin to get louder as you say “What if someone tries to hurt me?” 

    He sighs. “I mean, they never said who’s room we had to sleep in, just that we had to stay in a room, so I guess I’ll stay,”. Your eyes light up. He offers to turn the light off and cuddle with you. You lay down, now in the dark, and allow Makoto to put his arms around you. ‘He’s warm,’ you think. You both lay there for a while, and then Makoto begins to sing. “The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand. You should know I'll be there for you. When the world's not perfect, When the world's not kind, If we have each other then we'll both be fine. I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand. You should know I'll be there for you,” He looks down at you as you pretend to sleep, drifting off. “It’s strange how you’re asleep after being so scared,” He chuckles. “I guess that’s what you get for crying so much,”. He holds you tighter and begins petting your head. “Goodnight then,”. You both drift off into sleep in eachothers arms.
