Junko would never say it, but she did really love Mukuro in a way.
After all, she was the muscle in most of Junko's plans. Junko could look past how stupid, ugly and smelly her disappointment of a sister was when she could atleast kill without remorse for her once their plans for The Tragedy started. In a way, Junko blamed herself for stealing all the DNA that was good at things outside of shooting and being awkward in social situations, but hey, what are you gonna do?
There was one thing about Mukuro that Junko absolutely hated though, her crush on that Goddamn Makoto Naegi. That little hair-horn-having piece of shit was a thorn in Junko's side ever since she enrolled at Hope's Peak. He inspired hope and was cute enough to make people listen, including her disappointing sister. That little shit needed to die next.
But Mukuro was close to him and was always finding excuses to not kill him. She was disobeying Junko and listening to the little hope bitch! The hope bitch who was getting even closer to Mukuro!
Just today, he sat next to Mukuro at lunch, which he'd been doing a lot recently. He smiled at her, and talked to her, and Junko thinks she overheard a compliment. That little fuck was going to steal her sister, he was probably already planting his seed of hope in her!
Not in that way, get your head out of the gutter.
So today, Junko was going to do something about it. She was going to confront Muky-Muk and the funky hunchback-esque appearance she had and give her a piece of her mind! She was going to tell her to stop hanging around with that good crowd and be a bad kid, like a really really shitty parent.
That's why Junko was here today, in the classic red hallways of Hope's Peak, ready to confront her sister, knocking at her dorm room door.
Today's the day I get Mukuro back on my side!

Mukuro really did love Junko in a way, but she never felt the same love for despair as her perfect little sister.
She wasn't disillusioned with it quite yet, but she definitely didn't enjoy it. She loved her sister and would do anything for her, especially to repay her debts for leaving when they were younger. However, thay mindset was why she found herself crying that night just over a month and a half ago.
Junko had just requested another hit and though Mukuro went through with it, she felt horrible when she went back to her dorm, knowing the reason why she had to kill him was because he was too hopeful and too close to one of Junko's assets. Mukuro had that sinking feeling that she knew who the next target was, one Makoto Naegi.
Makoto was always nice to Mukuro, nicer than she was sure she deserved, and she was sure Junko was aware how Mukuro felt about him. Everyone knew how she felt about him except Makoto.
She presumes they put it together that time he involuntarily hugged her for saving him from a plane crash during P.E. (long story involving an old man, purple vines and a really really emo teenager) and her immediate reaction to the hug was to turn bright red, and run away screaming "your welcome!"
Yeah, she wasn't very smooth.
But back to the topic at hand, Mukuro was crying in bed that night, knowing she'd soon be forced to kill her crush. She was so caught up in crying she didn't realize she'd left the door open and in had walked the one and only Makoto Naegi.
When she finally looked up and saw him, who had come to investigate the crying, she assumed she had cried herself to sleep again and was having the dream about the magic carpet again. She realized that wasn't quite it when he just sat down beside her and asked what was wrong.
Mukuro told him she'd rather not say, but he still sat beside her, rubbing her back and being there for her. He stayed beside her for 4 hours.
She woke up the next morning, head on his shoulder, and woke him up when she was done freaking out about him being next to her, on her bed, asleep, and they were touching! She eventually managed to regain her cool and sneak him back to his room.
The next night he checked on her again. The night after that as well, and every night since then he has stayed the night in Mukuro's room before sneaking back to his before the alarm.
It started innocently enough. From back rubbing to holding hands. From holding hands to hugging. From hugging to definitely totally very platonic cuddling.
Then it naturally stopped being platonic and she told him everything about Junko's plans and despair fetish. He believed her. She was so glad to have it off her chest and to have someone on her side, someone to inspire hope in her, she was so happy to have someone else with her she didn't even notice she kissed him.
She noticed when he kissed back though.
The nightly visits turned to dates where they'd watch movies and talk. Well, Makoto would talk and Mukuro would happily listen. Mukuro started to understand the appeal of hope over despair, and the more she talked to Makoto, the more she saw the faults in Junko's thinking
He was staying in her room every night now, and brought over some stuff from his room to freshen up when he woke up.
Just last night they made a pretty big leap in the relationship. They didn't mean to but they had teenage hormones and failed to stop at making out. Not that either party complained that there was no stopping to be had, Mukuro wanted to show Makoto just how much he meant to her, and Makoto wanted the same thing, plus curiosity arises when your girlfriend has super soldier speed and stamina.
Mukuro knew when she woke up the morning after that she had to tell Junko the truth. The truth that she wanted out!
Today's the day I tell Junko I'm leaving her side for good!

Mukuro opened the door, her face blank as usual before slightly smiling, seemingly glowing with happiness.
"Hi, Sis." She greeted Junko with, as Junko strutted into her sister's bland room. It was mostly bare, except for some rifles mounted on the left-most wall. Mukuro closed the door and turned back to see her sister, smiling at her.
"SIIIISSSSS, I'M BORED, SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE A STUDY DATE!"
"OK, Junko"
And so, they studied, talked about despair and boys and world domination. Normal gal stuff, but Mukuro seemed almost… hesitant. She seemed less lap-doggy to Junko, and more an unwilling partner. This was new, and not good. She was wearing down Junko's patience, not expressing much but some quiet dislike for her despair inducing lovely plans.
Until finally, Junko fucking snapped!
"God, show some emotion for once you ugly fucking idiot! Would it kill you to emote, because if so, please god damn do so you can keel over"
"Sorry Junko."
"You've been all distant lately, do you never consider how I feel! How about our despair, you Neanderthal!"
"Sorry Junko."
"You should be sorry you murder slut!"
"Sorry Jun- No. You can't tell me what to do." Mukuro said, her eyes beginning to burn with the shining powerful light of determination.
Junko's face went completely blank.
"What. The. Fuck. Was. That?" She replied simply, but with anger bleeding through every word.
"You aren't my general, Sis. I love you but this has gone too far. I- I can't do this despair stuff anymore." Mukuro replied, her voice pained but clear.
Junko saw what was going on here, the real maelstrom here was about to happen in Mukuro's mind
"It was him, wasn't it?" Junko asked with a deadly emotionless voice. Her sentence clearly had its intended effect, as Mukuro was taken aback and began to sweat with nerves.
But it was okay, Mukuro could do this, she had faced down armies, she could handle 1 model. She just had to stay calm
Complete and utter calm.
"I don't know what you're talking about! Makoto had nothing to do with this! It's all me! Naegi has not influenced me in any way whatsoever! It would be crazy if that cute friend, just friend, of mine had any effect on me whatsoever! Especially any effects Google has told me line up with a crush or even love!"
Complete and utter disaster more like! Where was Mukuro's calm! This was bad! If Naegi was here, he'd know what to do.
Junko put her hand on Mukuros shoulder and looked into her eyes.
"I'm going to go to the bathroom and count to 30. When I come out, if I don't find his corpse here, I will kill him myself, then I will bring the pieces of him to you, and watch you eat them like the degenerative being you are, got it?"
Junko didn't wait for an answer, she walked into the bathroom, locked the door, and sat on the floor. She needed a god damn break. All this bullshit with her useless sister was tiring her out
She looked around the room and her analyst took over.
1 sink with mirror, 1 toilet, 1 shower, 2 toothbrushes, smells of the room indicate Mukuro showered just a few hours ago, glisten on the toothbrushes indicate both have been used just today, the toilet has- Wait.
2 toothbrushes
Both used.
1 blue, 1 red.
Separate colors indicate differentiation between multiple people require-
No. Nononononono.
No, that couldn't be right! That would mean someone else had stayed in Muk-
N O N O N O N O N O
the compliments, the lunches together
No fucking way
The confidence, the lack of willingness to follow my plans.
OH MY FUCKING GOD. MY HEAD WAS RIGHT TO BE IN THE GUTTER!
Junko kicked down the bathroom door, and looked at a defiantly still Mukuro
"Junko, I refuse to follow you-"
"YOU LITTLE BITCH, YOU FUCKED THE HOPE BOY DIDN'T YOU"
"HOW DID YOU- I- NO- ITS NOT- WAIT-"
Junko turned to the door and stormed out, loudly stomping her way to Makoto's dorm before wailing on his door with her fists. She was gonna get some answers, damn it!
"Junko, wait! Sis please! Let me explain!"
It was then the door opened.

Makoto was having a relaxing day.
He had a great night last night with his girlfriend Mukuro, and now he was relaxing in his room reading a manga Komaru had hand delivered to him 3 hours ago, mainly as a bribe to visit Sayaka and Toko with her. After forcing Makoto to come with her to their dorms, Makoto found he didn't really mind hanging out with Komaru. They had good sibling chemistry and Sayaka was always nice to see, and Toko could be rather sweet when she wasn't accusing you of hating her.
Makoto was enjoying this new chapter of Vincible: My Boys Academia, and discussing it with his sister sitting next to him, when his door began to shake with an intense fury. Fearing the worst, he leaped up and ran to the door, opening it to an unexpected sight.
Junko Enoshima, the Ultimate Fashionista, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him with strength a model should definitely not have
Komaru spoke up first; "Makoto, you know the Junko Enoshima and didn't tell me! You're even close enough to make her mad! I need details!"
Junko spoke second: "YOU FILTHY FUCKING SISTER BOINKER" letting out 1/100000th of her rage.
She then threw Makoto back into the room towards a fangirling Komaru and away from a panicked Mukuro.
"THIS IS WHERE YOU DIE MAKOTO NAEGI! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR ANTICS, YOU HOPEFUL PRICK"
"Junko! Can't we talk about this, I apologize for whatever you think I've done!"
"Oh you know what you've done, why I bet you've done it multiple times! You doer!" Junko impressively innuendo'd.
Komaru took her chance to speak up again; "Makoto, you didn't! Did you really do… that with the sister of a model!" Komaru yelled, half grossed out and half sad she didn't get the details! She scanned the room and spotted a very conflicted Mukuro in the doorway.
"Is that her?!? Jeez, you are lucky, how did you catch h- Oh. That's why you aren't responding."
Makoto was on the ground, trying not to be punched by the very angry model
"How dare you convince my sister she's not a dirt human like she truly is! She is the worst thing to ever disgrace this shitty rock of a planet and you dared to make her happy? I'll kill you!" Junko yelled at the boy with his forearms blocking his face.
Junko went to throw another punch at the walls of Makoto, only to have her fist stopped by a very angry Mukuro.
"You will be leaving now, and you will never bother Makoto ever again."
Junko ignored this retort and simply raised her other arm, only for it to be stopped by the other angry black haired girl in the room
"I'm not a fan of bad siblings, and I'm also not a fan of people bullying my little brother!"
Makoto threw his arms down, shouting "I'm the older sibling!"
Komari shot him a look that said 'don't worry, I've got you little bro!' and she helped Mukuro push a kicking and screaming Junko out the door
"This ain't over! I will rip your balls out and clacker volley your bitch ass with them, NNNNNNAAAAAAEEEEEEEGGGGGGGIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Were Junko's last words as she was finally removed from the door room, and locked out by a door slam.
Mukuro went to wipe her hands together, but was cut off by a hug from Naegi
"Thanks Mukuro! You really saved me there! You're the best girlfriend ever!"
"I- Y- M- You're W-w-welcome! Very w-welcome!" Mukuro said, somehow still a stuttering mess at affection, after sex with Makoto.
"Sooooooo" said Komaru, extra high pitched. Makoto looked at her in fear, seeing the stars in her eyes. Here goes the interview.
"HOW DID YOU MEET, HOW DID YOU FALL IN LOVE?"
"KOMARU!"
"L-LOVE???"
"WHEN ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED, WHAT'S YOUR MOST ROMANTIC DATE YET?"
"KOMARU!"
"WHAT EMBARRASSING STORIES HAVE YOU HEARD SO FAR SO I CAN TELL YOU THE REAL GREATEST HITS!?!?!?!?!?"
Makoto began to push her towards the door "OK Komaru, nice seeing you again, love you sis byeeeeee" only for him to be stopped by a hand on his shoulder from a grinning ear to ear Mukuro.
"She can stay, I wanna hear these greatest hits."
Makoto whimpered, here he goes again.
