Chapter Text
Shuichi flopped down on his bed, dust particles dancing in the air gracefully as he lifted his phone up to his face to check if he had gotten anything back from the girl he had met.
‘Hello, this is saihara, the guy you met the library who was interested in ____’
Sighing he lays his phone back down, but it wasn’t long before he swiftly lifted it back up to his face when he heard the dull tone of his phone telling him he has a message.
‘Hey! You could stopped when you said you met me at the library, since i rarely find anyone into ____ i guess that's the one defining characteristic besides your hat. Anyway i woke up late so how are you today, got anything to do?’
Another sigh escaped shuichi’s lips as he laid his phone on his chest, how was he supposed to respond to her? Such dribble isn’t something he would usually concern himself with because he’s already seen as the schools freakshow so he never really knew how to keep up actual conversation since he’s never really had much chance to in real life and when he’s forced to go to family reunions he doesn’t want to go to.
‘I don’t have much to do today,’
That same message remained unsent for a while because he couldn’t think of anything else to say. He really didn’t have much to do, he could do laundry… too boring… homework? God no. He desperately needs a social life but he couldn’t let her know he was a loser, because showing weakness is a turn off for certain girls and he didn’t want to take his chances on looking like a creep or turn into a stalker… he does have the wit for it but however he doesn’t have the right mindset.
‘I don’t have much to do today, but if there’s anything you would like to do it would be a nice chance to get to know each other if you want.’
No no no! What are you thinking?! Wait- it already sent? When did i send it? Well… too late for regrets… minutes later a ding comes from shuichi’s phone yet again. He never did get used to that sound, but other than that he was happy he had someone to talk to other that his posters and pillow.
‘I’d actually love to! I’m glad you asked. How about since we have some common interests in books would you mind if we went to a cafe together and talk?’
Oh holy shit that worked??? Well ok, works for him, honestly it felt a little cheesy to him but if it worked then he’s not complaining. Wait. Wait wait wait hold up. Did he just get asked out? She didn’t mean like a date right? Of course she wouldn’t be asking for a date what are you thinking ugh….
‘Sure, what cafe? I’ll be right over.
Hah! What a casanova. I’ll be ba- i mean making friends with her in no time! Shuichi feels as giddy as a schoolgirl as he dressed himself in the most normal, non danganronpa themed clothes. He may not look it but he’s very excited to see you again, even if his hat covers his gase.. For more than one reason, with advantages and disadvantages to having said hat, looking you up and down secretly. For now that was just in his imagination but just imagine the fun times he’s going to have with a real girl!!! A real!! Girl!! Holy shit this didnt sink properly hes actually going somewhere with someone.. It feels nice to have found a friend, even if it might just be for a short time before you figure out he’s some killing game loving freak. Time to get going!
