♡The Memory Game♡

Choosing and Free Time

I love this picture so much omg-
Kokichi's POV

I sigh again at the names.
I don't want anyone to go back to bullying me... there's only one person I see fit to choose.
Shumai.

I do like his shyness, it's quite cute.
But I miss how he used to be.
The person I used to love.

I glance over to him and he gives a sad smile. It's almost as if he knows what's going to happen.
Does he know I'm voting for him?

I quickly check off his name and fold my paper so no one could see what I wrote.
I silently slip the paper into the box and I wait.

I wonder if Shuichi would freak out once he found out he was in Danganronpa.
It's a weird thought to think...

Shuichi's POV
Woah omg a POV change in the middle of the story! That's a first.

I smile sadly at everyone around me.
I already know the answer they're all going to choose. I remember last time. Me and Kokichi tied, but he already has his memories back now. There's a high probability that I will be next.

I take a deep breathe.
I'm not ready for this.
I look down at my paper and check off Gonta Gokuhara.
He could have something useful if he got his memories back. I also had no idea who else to vote for...
Slipping the paper in the box, I take a sharp breathe and wait.

Everyone finally gives in their papers, and Monokuma gathers and sorts them.
We all watched as Monokuma counted up tally marks on the board.

A big group was already piling up.
I already know that's mine.
But what if I don't want my memories back.
What if I want to stay just like this...
Me and Kokichi, we could escape!
No I'm getting too ahead of myself...

"Alrighty! Look at the tallies, there is an obvious winner! Can ya guess who it is?"

Silence

"Come on, you are no fun! Guess I'll just take whoever won..."

I immediately felt a tugging on my legs, pulling me to my knees.
I knew it was going to be me... I just knew it.
I look up to see everyone looking at me with worry and wonder.

"Please... no... I don't want this!"
Suddenly the floor collapses beneath me.
I don't want this...

Kokichi's POV

I stood shocked.
I watched as Shumai was dragged down, tears in his eyes.
He didn't want this... yet I voted for him.
He didn't even want it.
Why would I-!

"I'll bring an announcement soon, so stay tight and wait as the new 'old' Shuichi Saihara is being formed!"

Monokuma left everyone standing there.
I have no idea what to do, where to go.
Shuichi has his dorm key... and the only person I talk to is Shuichi.
Maybe I could try and talk with someone else?

I scan the room. My eyes land on Gonta Gokuhara.
I slowly walk up to him, trying to suppress the tears in my eyes.
"G-Gonta? Can I h-hang out with you for a b-bit?"

I look up to see a shock cover his face, but it quickly changed to a smile.
"Sure Ouma! Gonta would be glad to spend time with a dear friend!"
He said that so happily as if nothing just happened
Okay then.
People started to file out of the gym.

"What would Kokichi like to do?"

"I-I dont really mind... whatever w-works."

I hate being without Shumai... I feel as if I can't be myself.
But I look Gonta and he looks so Uplifting.
"Gonta wishes to go on a bug hunt! Would Kokichi like to do this too?"
I gratefully nod and walk to the outside doors with Gonta.

It's hardly been 10 minutes and I already desperately miss Shumai..
Am I too attached..?

I glance up at Gonta, and I see he is focused ahead. He does have a huge smile on his face.

I watch as Gonta holds open the door for me, and I smile gratefully up at him.
I'm glad I have someone to be with. Otherwise I'd be falling apart right now..
Nevermind that.
Time to spend time with Gonta.

I watch Gonta get super excited, rushing out to the wild. I quickly follow on this crazy bug hunt. This isn't such a bad thing to pass time!

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

My biggest question is why y'all chose Shuichi doe 😳
