Work Text:
"Where am I?" Nagi wondered as he looked around the place, half the room he was in was full of people he knew, the other half was not.
As the fellow lazy genius looked around the area, he noticed it was similar to a school hall..? Well, except the fact that it was filled with soccer equipment ('Could this be Ego's doing?' Nagi thinks), the room's colour scheme was red, blue, and a light coffee brown tone, how strange.
Feeling quite confused, the white hair'd boy looked around to see if Reo was anywhere, after all, Reo might have an idea on what was going on, and surely he was there.
He saw the fellow perfectionist rubbing his head, "Ouch.." he muttered to himself.
"Reo? Are you okay?" Nagi asked his boyfriend as he rushed over to him and inspected him to see if he was bleeding.
"Eh? Sei? Don't worry I'm okay haha.. I was hit in the head before I came to this.. weird place." The purple hair boy replied, dragging out the last part of his sentence, it was clear to Nagi that Reo did not know where they were.
Unknown to Nagi, Reo did know, for it was a place far too familiar to him.
Nagi hugged him gently as he kissed Reo's forehead, "I'll protect you." he stated solemnly.
"Aww, you're so sweet," Reo answered hugging him back, "don't worry, Sei people wouldn't dare hurt me. I am the heir to a billionaire company after all~ If anything, I'll protect you." he adds in a sweet tone that makes Nagi's pale cheeks go a light shade of red.
As Reo lets go of his embrace, he adjusts his hand to hold Nagi's hand tightly, "Now, let's see where we're at, shall we?" He offers Nagi, though, it wasn't like the lazy genius had a choice to decline.
'Well, if it's Reo I shouldn't decline' Nagi thought quietly to himself as they headed over to a group of people.
"Reo, Nagi? You're here too?" Chirigiri says in a confused tone, he felt rather distressed regarding the situation — I mean who wouldn't after being randomly kidnapped to some unknown area, "That makes the 9 of us then, 18 if we include those people over there."
Chirigiri added, as he pointed to the group of people, there was about 9 students in the other group, who looked like they were a similar age to them, all having unique hair colours.
"I wonder if they know anything.." Bachira says as he takes a glance at the others, who were also dicussing amongst themself, their atmosphere seemed pretty tense.
Nagi looks over at Reo who was looking pretty sleepy as he clenches his hand in attempts to remain awake.
"Reo, you can lean on me if you're sleepy" Nagi suggests in brief tone, Reo giggles brightly as he accepts his offer.
Shidou laughs seeing this "Lovebirds~", he teases, to which causes both the Itoshi siblings to roll their eyes.
Kunigami sighs, "Enough, it's likely we've been kidnapped but we need to know by who and how.."
"Well perhaps we should discuss what we do know." Isagi suggests, "There is nine of us, Me, Sae, Rin, Shidou, Kunigami, Chirigiri, Nagi and Reo. Wait, does anyone know who woke up first?"
"The group over there woke up first, slowly joined by me, Kunigami, and such." Chirigiri replies.
"We should probably ask the other group if they have information then." Rin says with a sigh; clearly not wanting to interact with other people but unfortunately it seemed like it was his only option.
Reo squints his eyes and looks over at the other group, "..." his expression darkens.
"Reo? Is something wrong?" Nagi says
"I think I know those guys, wait here Sei, oh and you guys." Reo replies running over to the other group.
"'And you guys he says', wow how rude." Chirigiri says, acting dramatic
"Woah who knew Reo knew other people besides us~?" Shidou snickers
"I mean hes the son of a billionaire company hes bound to meet other people." Isagi replies with a shrug, Nagi nods at this statement, feeling proud of his boyfriend.
Shuichi Saihara was the first one to wake up.
He was having his average school life with a bunch of his friends after having completed Danganronpa.
After completing Danganronpa, Shuichi had to go through great lengths to encounter his friends again, well, most of them anyways.
The young detective had to make a deal with the mastermind— whom he forgot, to erase his (along with his friends) memories of the whole incident. The only memories he (and his friends) did recall was well, his friends personality and the happy times, the rest of his memories were hazy so he did not remember who died or how they died.
"Don't tell me this is happening again.." Shuichi says rubbing his head in annoyance.
"Shuichi? Oh thank goodness you're here!" Kaede says happily as she runs over and hugs him tightly, to which, Shuichi reciprocates her intimate gesture.
"Kaede! Do you know where we are?" Shuichi asks as he lets go of the hug.
Kaede shakes her head as she points to people, "I just woke up after you, I woke up, Kaito, Maki, Miu, Rantaro and Tsumugi."
"That makes 7 of us, including us of course." Shuichi says as he bit his lip, "Oh I have my hat on."
"It seems we're in our old clothing from before.." Kaede replies, "Lets gather everyone and form a discussion."
Shuichi nods in agreement as he extends his hands to Kaede and plants a kiss on her lip, "Okay ready now."
"You're such a dork." Kaede laughs brightly as they head over to the others.
"Yeah, it seems like we might be involved with Danganronpa again.." Rantaro thinks out loud with a pretty dejected expression.
"Woah wait! There are more people over there!" Miu acknowledges as she points over the group of people.
"Perhaps they have been through this before?" Rantaro replies.
Shuichi squints, "No.. they look pretty confused", he notices a guy with purple hair along with white and black clothing, who looked pretty familar, Kaede, however realises the guy.
"Is that who I think it is?!" Kaede says as she widened her eyes.
The guy in question starts running up to the group.
"Nishshshi!! It's been so long~ Hihi~" The guy— Kokichi, says giggling, "Did ya guys miss me?"
"Kokichi?!?" They all say shocked, Miu however, was the first one to recover.
"Where were you all these ye—" Shuichi attempts to say, only to be interupted by Miu.
"Ugh of course not you little brat." She says rolling her eyes.
"Uwah- You're so mean!!!" Kokichi whines as a response, "I ran my heart out over here and you're just going to be mean to me??"
Maki sighs at their immature behaviour, "Look lets call it a truce, we need to know why we're here again." she says in a curt tone.
"Maki's right, Kokichi, you were walking from that group over there right? Do you know who they are?" Shuichi questions, looking at Kokichi.
"Hmm whats this? Shumai wants to know~? Okay~ I guess I have to tell you.." Kokichi says in a michevious way, hands on his mouth pretending to be shocked.
Miu smacks Kokichi quite harshly, "Knock it off brat hes with Kaede now, he isn't your boyfriend anymore."
"Ouchie, how cruel." The purplenette says with a pout, rubbing his head to check if it bruised.
"Miu—", Shuichi attempts to stop her but she continues, "You need to stop babying him you have a new girlfriend ya know."
Shuichi looks at Kaede and she gives him a small, kind smile, "Don't worry about it Miu." she says simply understanding Shuichi's difficult circumstance.
Shuichi smiles back at Kaede, "Miu, I wasn't babying him, we do need info from Kokichi. Plus we haven't seen him for quite some time know." Shuichi says with a sigh as he glances at Kokichi who had a strangely neutral reaction.
"Ehh whatev-" Miu attempts to say, but gets interupted.
"Are you guys done yet?" Kokichi says checking his nails while feeling rather bored — a not so rare expression from Kokichi of all people — he places his hands in the back of his head.
"Oh— Uhm yes sorry continue Kokichi." Shuichi replies feeling rather embarassed.
"Hmph~ Anyways~ Like I was saying before I was rudely interupted," He says glaring at Miu.
"Ugh don't glare at me like that ya weirdo!!" Miu says rolling her eyes.
"Ack! How could you interupt me again, where are your manners!!" Kokichi whines dramatically as he stomps on one of his foot to emphasise hes annoyed, "Do you want to know or not??" He continued.
"Sorry about her, please continue." Kaede says in a gentle tone.
"Ugh anyways, I do in fact know those people, they're my friends." Kokichi replied all smug like.
"In your dreams maybe." Miu said instantly, to which made Kokichi form a pout, "WAHHH!!! Meanie, you hurt my feelings.."
Kokichi's loud dramatic fake sobbing was heard by the group in question and they immediately rushed over.
"Are you okay?" A white hair boy says as he wraps his arms around Kokichi in a protective manner.
Kokichi blinks, fake tears still in his eyes, "Sei? Huh, I told you guys to wait over there.."
"Well you were stomping your feet pretty loudly and you seemed like you were upset," Chirigiri starts, "Oh and we totally saw how that brat over there slapped you, should I reciprocate their gesture and slap that whore?" Shidou finishes snickering.
"Ugh!! Why you!!- I'm not a brat you moron." Miu says rolling her eyes, "I was merely teaching that punk a lesson."
"Who are you calling a punk?" Nagi says in a slightly angry tone, Nagi doesn't really get angry, so he was being pretty serious.
"For real, what did you do to make Reo cry?" Chigiri adds giving them the stink eye.
Miu rolls his eyes, "He cries on a daily basis it's not suprising."
"Reo-kun wouldn't cry unless you did something rather awful to him." Bachira defends with a pout as Nagi continued to glare at them, hugging Reo tighter in the process.
"Yeah right, he li-" Miu starts to say, getting interupted by Kaito in the process.
"Reo, whos Reo?" Kaito say in a confused tone.
"Uhm that would be me.." Reo says in a sheepish tone. "Sei, it's okay don't worry about it." he says as he looks at Nagi and he plants a kiss on the boy— Nagi's cheek.
"Woah what the fuck??" Kaito says stunned at the sudden intimate gesture, the other Danganronpa cast also stood pretty stunned; well except Tsumugi who just layed a smile.
Nagi just wraps his arms around Reo's waist from behind tightly, "Do you have an issue with this?" he says, glaring at them in a rather protective nature.
"Chill out lovebirds, apologies for Nagi hes awfully protective over Reo." Isagi states with a sigh.
"Don't worry about it, what did you mean by Reo?" Maki asks, being the first one to recover from the situation.
"Thats his name, Reo Mikage." Rin says as if he was stating the obvious.
"You punk did ya seriously fake your identity to them." Miu says in an annoyed tone as she crossed her arms and glared at the purple hair boy.
"U—uhm what..?" Reo stammers as looks at Miu in a confused expression.
"Quit actin' like you're so confused." The blonde hair girl replies while rolling her eyes.
"Oops~ You caught me.. but I faked my identity with you guys, not them." Reo answers with a fake smile, one that no one — but Nagi — would be able tell.
"What the fuc—" Miu starts to say.
"Uhmm you expected me to give out my name to a bunch of randos? Sorry~ I'm not an idiot." Kokic– Reo interupts in a sly tone.
Bachira blankly stares at Reo, "Reo-kun? Why are you acting so weird." He says tilting his head in confusion.
Reo's silent for a moment then responds while leaning into Nagi's embrace, "Sorry, these are my old.. classmates, I guess I remembered my old personality haha.."
"What does K-.. Uh Reo? act like?" Shuichi asks, suddenly curious at the new profound topic.
Reo immediately feels as if he should get out of this situation.
"Ahahaha, Shumai, you don't need to know." Reo says, fiddling with his fingers.
"Shumai?" Nagi asks.
Oops, Reo has now realised he messed up.
"Oh, that was just my nickname for Shuichi over here~"
Nagi's mouth forms to an 'x' "This emo loner got a nickname and I didn't?.. L me while W loser guy.."
"Sei, you do have a nickname, two infact.." Reo replied in a confused tone
"Oh, oops yeah.. W me L loser emo." Nagi responds, realising he did infact have a nickname as he continues to hug Reo and nuzzle his neck.
