After Kaede confessing her feelings for Shuichi, he managed to mess up letting her down gently & told her he had a boyfriend. He ended up asking Kokichi Ouma, who is already madly crushing on Shuichi, to pretend to be his boyfriend.

[Kokichi had spent the whole time loving Shuichi, he never expected him to love him back.] A fluffy/angsty story about Kokichi and Shuichi from Danganronpa V3. It's set after the game, in a reality where they all woke up and attended a normal high school together. Highest rank #1 in saiouma and #160 in danganronpa !! ⭐

Shuichi Saihara wasn't fond of Kokichi Ouma at first, but a killing game trapped in a school with fifteen other people can change someone's mind. A lot. Though Monokuma says the only way out of the Ultimate Academy is to murder a classmate, perhaps... there is another way? ((Disclaimer: None of the top chapter art or cover art is mine, only the ones in the story directly are mine, or they're an edit. Or they're a picture from the original game.)) SPOILERS!!! For Danganronpa v3 [[words: 100,000 i think]]

It's been about a year since the thirteen of them woke from the living hell that was the Killing Game. Ever since, they've been living together in a strange new world where their old memories are next to meaningless. Kokichi still feels the effects of the game a year later; although, he only has himself to blame for not being able to get past his guilt. Still, he hopes to be able to, one day, feel like he has earned his place among the others and maybe even feel like he can belong.

Also, this takes place after the events of V3, so (for anyone that hasn't played it yet for some reason) there will be spoilers for the game! I will also mention also that Tsumugi and Korekiyo just... aren't in this and it's never explained or mentioned, sorry if you like those characters! (I just can't write those two postgame, haha) --- Edit (8-8-24): Realised that the chapters were numberless and that I never put the AO3 link here :P https://archiveofourown.org/works/56079598
