Work Text:
Kiyotaka Ishimaru grew up focused on one thing. Effort and fixing the family name his Grandfather shattered. He promised himself he would be better than him. He would be an example of what you could do with hard work and effort!
At least..one of those things was true. He has worked hard and put in all the effort he could towards his goal. Now, he had a very high position that people could look up to! They could look at him and think on how they could accomplish the same with effort!
However, he couldn't say he was better than his grandfather. He wasn't even on an equal level with him and what he did.
No..He became even worse than his grandfather could have ever hoped to be.
Why? That's one of the things he wanted to avoid the most. He wanted to surpass him and fix things! Not make everything worse! This was the exact opposite of what he wanted..which is why he did it.
It made his chest ache. Seeing the people hurt because of him..to see them tortured because of him..to see people killed because of him. It brought him..
Such Despair..the feeling that he has been craving for this these past years.
—-----------------------------------------
“Augh! P-Please let me go! I-I’m sorry! I-”
A man below his boot begged in a pathetic manner only stopping with a croak when Kiyotaka stepped on his throat with more force.
“Let you go? No, I can't do that. You knew the rules and you knew the consequences of breaking them.” The former moral compass glared down at the disgusting display.
“I-I..Just..Did..What I had..to..please dont..’” The man tried to gasp for air to no prevail. Kiyotaka raised an eyebrow and released him, making the man take a gasp of air and begin to cough.
Kiyotaka turned around glaring at him. He was going to take out the sword from his side..before stopping. “You are not even worth my time..Monokumas..!” and right when he said that name..multiple black and white bears appeared surrounding the man.
“Huh..? Ah! W-wait!” The man tried to scream and escape. And at that moment the monokumas began to attack. The man screamed again..one of extreme pain as he was torn apart piece by piece until no sound was left.
Kiyotaka grinned for a fleeting moment before turning towards a monokuma that was completely still.
“Make sure everyone in the country sees that. Make sure that they know this is what will happen to them..or their family if they step out of line.” He harshly demands. “Or worse..”
The monokuma makes a beep like noise before running off. And just like that..footage of that along with other executions would be sent to Fujisaki to broadcast it to the world. Everyone would make sure they knew what would happen if they resisted or didn't stay in line.
And with that..he began to walk around the rest of the town he was in as he looked around the area. Looked was probably the wrong word..more like patrolled. For as long as he walked, the only thing that would greet him was the smell of blood that matched the blood red sky.
The quiet area soon changed..not physically..but a loud sound of a motorcycle engine emerged. This made Kiyotaka grin as he heard it get closer and closer to him as he stopped.
The motorcycle comes closer and closer..not speeding down as if it was gonna run him over.
However, right before that chance, Kiyotaka jumps out of the way just in time. He felt the wind of it go by showing just how close he was to death.
How exhilarating.
The motorcycle then turns around and slows down before parking. The man riding it got off the bike with a smirk. It was Mondo Owada, another Ultimate Despair.
“I’m surprised you don’t look upset..after all you have failed again.” Taka gives him a smirk right back, staring up at him, as the biker was taller than him.
Mondo shrugged. “Yeah maybe..but you got out of the way slower this time than last time! You were practically one second away from becoming a splat of blood on my tires!” he laughs sadistically at the thought. “Next time..I may even win this little competition of ours..”
Kiyotaka only grinned more. “Don’t get too cocky, Mondo. I may just surprise you when you least suspect it. I can’t wait to feel the satisfaction of my blade in your chest..”
This was their contest..Who could kill each other first..
Mondo smiled and walk towards him planting a kiss on the others lips. Once they part he sports a smirk. “Good. Glad you haven’t given up yet. It would be hella boring if ya were to let me win easy, doll.”
Kiyotaka hums a bit. “Well you know. I won’t ever give up! You are the most important person to me after all! I’m determined to know the feeling of despair I will get when I murder you with my own hands..”
Mondo chuckles affectionately. “What a coincidence..I'm determined for the same goal..”
Kiyotaka smiles at his answer before frowning. “Maybe you would have a bigger chance at winning if you don't drive so loud! I could hear you coming from miles away! And if I can, that means others can too! Such a horrible way for sneak attacks!”
Mondo rolls his eyes. “Shit come on..it makes such badass noises like that though. Besides..I'll make sure they cant get away.”
“You say that..yet I got away. Your logic is completely flawed! I recommend that you study more!” Taka continues to scold, leading from an eye roll from the gang leader.
Oddly..both liked doing this. It gave them both nostalgia for the times years ago when Kiyotaka would scold Mondo for not studying for some important test and would study together..in the end..it always lead to a moment were they cuddled on the bed..letting out sweet nothings to each other..life was so peaceful then..
Sometimes..they wish to go back to that..
But it was too late now..ever since that day..they were in despair’s hands now.
Despite that they still loved each other..they didnt say anything for a few moments. Just watching the other.
Mondo walks over and kisses Kiyotaka again which Taka happily accepts. They wrap themselves around each other kissing for as long as they could..
Right when it seems like they are gonna run out of air, they part.
“Should get back to the gang. There probably waiting for me so we can fuck up the next area.” Mondo smirked as Kiyotaka nods.
“Very well! I shall get back to patrolling here, then go back and make sure rules are being followed! After all! The whole world looks up to me!” He grins, making Mondo return the grin.
“Right, babe.” Mondo gets back on his bike. “When your done with all that..lets have ‘fun’ together..” he smirked with a wink.
It was Kiyotaka’s turn to roll his eyes. “Right..now go! It's rude to keep them waiting!.”
Mondo nods. “Right..Love ya..”
That makes Kiyotaka smile at him. “Love you too..”
And like that the two of them were off to continue their work.
