A Moment of Solace
A Danganronpa KiiOuma OneShot
Days after the First Class Trial
Kokichi groans as he wakes to the sound of those annoying bears announcing that it was time to wake up... Well all but that Blue and white one, what was its name again? Kokichi forgot and quite frankly didn't care about some murderous bear cub's name. He was actually quite glad that there was one less of those little shits around to bother him, it would be easier to gather the things he needed for his ultimate plan to end this killing game once and for all but all that could wait for after breakfast. The others would begin to worry if he stayed here any longer and didn't make an appearance at the dining hall. He hums to himself before skipping over to his dresser to get a new outfit on, one of the same many outfits. Kokichi knew he looked good in white but he did wish there was a little more variety in his attire aside from the plane pajamas he was given for the night. He quickly gets dressed and kicks down his bathroom door so he could do his hair and brush his teeth, striking a few silly poses in the mirror and chuckling at himself. He couldn't let himself get too depressed in this shithole... That's what that bear wants after all, despair. Well Monokuma can go fuck himself because Kokichi wouldn't let himself fall into despair! Not at all! Once he deemed himself presentable he goes to walk out of his dorm. Making sure to lock it so that no one could sneak in and set up any unwanted traps....booby trapping things was his job, no one could beat his amazing pranks! Or well at least before he was stuck here that was true, He steels himself before heading to the dining hall where most of the other ultimates were....well..... all but two of them, Rantaro Amami the Ultimate ??? and Kaede Akamatsu... The ultimate Pianist.
Kokichi would enter the dining hall with a kick to the door and a flick of his purple curls "Why hello everyone, it's your beloved leader here!" he purrs out as his eyes scan everyone in the room. "Oh can it fuckface, it's too early in the morning for this." Miu huffs out as she pokes at the food Kirumi made for her, leering at Kokichi from the corner of her eye. Miu would be met with a whine and sniffle from the smaller ultimate "Th-That was so rude Miu... I was j-just trying to say hello to everyone.... YOU'RE SO MEEEAAAANNNN" Kokichi would cry out before feeling a gentle hand on his shoulder. He goes to look at the person, being met with Kirumi's soft eyes "Hello Ouma, I've made you breakfast.. would you please sit down?" she asked politely, cutting off this mini argument before it could dribble any further. Kokichi would perk up at Kirumi's words "Oh, thanks mom!" he'd chirp happily as he bounced on his heels before making his way to where Kirumi usually sets his plate. Once seated Kirumi would walk into the kitchen to retrieve Kokichi's plate and set it in front of him Kokichi would smile before giving Kirumi a small thank you and begins to eat. Chatter continues on as usual during their daily breakfast routine, Kokichi chiding the others playfully and teasing them. Occasionally sneaking glances at a particular white haired robot when he knew no one else would notice him... Perhaps he'll be a little nicer to the robot today.. He was a little tired of keeping up his act of being an asshole to everyone.
When mostly everyone had gone Kokichi had grown bored of staying in the dining hall and goes to clean his dishes before skipping off, perhaps he'll goof off around outside for a bit. It was fairly warm out today and sun bathing didn't seem like too bad of an idea at the moment, he had some time to laze.. When he lies on the grass in an area further away from the old dilapidated school his mind would begin to wander... what if they didn't make it out of here? What if Kokichi's plan came too late and everyone would end up dying, whatifs began swirling through his head as he frowns up at the dome. The very dome that entrapped all fourteen remaining ultimates in this accursed place, would Kokichi ever be able to get out and see his family again? Were they worried about him? Hell were they even getting enough to eat without him being there. Kokichi pulls himself out of his thoughts and gently smacks his own cheeks, enough of that Oma. He decided to get up and pats any debris off of his back before stretching, he was beginning to grow a little bored before he grins "Lets see.... Who to bother today" Kokichi hums. Before snapping his fingers and grinning "Aha!~ Keeboy, I'll give my dear Keeboy a visit today."
Kokichi starts skipping off through the school grounds in search of the ultimate robot, finally finding the robot in the casino's basement. A devilish grin crosses his face as he slowly sneaks up behind Keebo. Snaking his arms around the other before pulling him into a hug "Heya Keeboy, didn't know that robots fancied gambling" he hummed as he pokes and prods at Keebo's armor. The robot would squeak at the action as he was startled by Kokichi's sudden appearance "O-Oma, hey!- Don't poke my armor please." he said as he goes to grab Kokichi's hands to stop him, he then sighs "Did you need something Oma?" Keebo would ask as he turns slightly to look at Kokichi. "Hmmm... Well I am quite bored, can robots project movies?" Kokichi would chirp playfully at Keebo who groans before going to speak "Oma I'm not a projector... I am a robot but I do not have that capability." Keebo would retort. Frowning as Kokichi lets him go, the purple haired male would just smile up at Keebo as he puts his hands behind his head "That's too bad, we could have watched something together if you could have. Hey hey! What can you do as a robot?!" he asked excitedly as he grins at Keebo who was very unamused with Kokichi's little escapade. Keebo would place his hands on his hips as he frowns at Kokichi "As a robot I'm able to do a few things that humans can't but that doesn't mean I want to be treated like a toy Oma." Keebo would say sternly as he looks Kokichi in the eyes, electric blue meeting soft purple eyes. Kokichi would frown for a moment, a genuine frown before sighing "Yeah, I suppose that's true.. Sooo how about instead of my usual questioning and remarks we play some games in the game room together!" Keebo was caught off guard by the change in demeanor and sudden request Kokichi made "You.... You aren't planning on pranking me or anything are you?" Keebo would cautiously ask as he narrows his eyes at Kokichi, Kokichi would shake his head "Eh.. I don't really feel like pulling any tricks right now, things have been so sad and tense since my beloved Kaede died and it's really ruining the atmosphere y'know. Don't get me wrong now, I love a good killing but god everyone is soooooo on edge." Kokichi would say as he starts to stare at his nails, ensuring that they were in good shape and well maintained. Looking at Keebo after he was sure they were fine, the robot seemed a little conflicted... Mainly due to Kokichi ' 'enjoyment' ' of the killing game that they were all forced into.
Keebo hums in thought before sighing "I suppose we could, a little fun couldn't hurt I guess" he said as he watched Kokichi to make sure that he wasn't going to try anything. The smaller's eyes would light up as he grins and takes Keebo's hand "Yay! Let's get out of here then!" he cheers as he begins to lead Keebo out of the casino and back to the main school building. Heading into the basement of the school where the game room was, not giving the library where the event happened at a single glance. As if that room was never there in the first place, bursting the door to the game room open with a large smile on his face. Keebo who was being dragged allows himself to be dragged, he didn't know why but it was sort of cute seeing Kokichi getting so excited over playing some silly arcade games with him. When they finally stopped walking Keebo would begin to talk "so what would you like to play first Oma?" Keebo asked while tilting his head to the side slightly. Kokichi would tap his foot and put a finger to his chin in thought, eyes scanning the games before landing on the You're Going Down Clown game. "What about that one?" he asked as he pointed to the game machine while looking at Keebo, bouncing up and down on his heels as he giddily smiles. Keebo would look at the arcade machine then to Kokichi "I don't see why not, though I've never really played games like this." Kokichi would skip over to the machine before digging some monocoins out of his pocket to feed into the machine "It's easy, Once I insert the needed amount of coins balls will be dispensed from it and we'll need to throw them at the clowns that have a red light at the base of them to knock them over. The goal of the game is to try to hit down as many clowns as possible within the given time limit. It's so simple that even a toddler could do it!" he said as he waves Keebo over so that the robot was ready so that when Kokichi inserted the last coin Keebo would be ready to grab the balls. "Oh, I see.. that's quite simple! I think I can do it." Keebo would say as he smiled softly, once the last coin was inserted a click could be heard and the balls started rolling into the little box-like area where Kokichi and Keebo could grab him. Kokichi was fairly good at the game, given his history with egging houses and making bets with his DICE members about hitting precise areas of the houses they egged. Keebo on the other hand was doing...well rather poorly, growing a bit frustrated about missing the little clowns.
"Hey, throw like this" he'd say as he goes to guide Keebo's arm and hand "you don't have to throw that hard either so ease up on the strength you throw a bit." Keebo blinks before going to aim and throw like how Kokichi guided his hand aaannnnd.... he narrowly misses, the fuzz on the side of the clown themed pin moves as the ball brushes past it. The game jingles the sound queue letting you know that time was almost up. Kokichi would go back to throwing as many balls at the clowns as he could, missing from time to time. He'd laugh as he throws, the excitement of seeing how many clowns he could knock down before the clock hit zero caused his heart to race. Keebo would notice Kokichi's frantic throwing and joined in, he actually managed to hit a clown! The feeling of finally knocking one of those pins down caused Keebo to burst into a grin and start laughing happily, totally forgetting that they were trapped in this school. He was caught up in the moment with Kokichi, when the time ran out and there were no more balls to throw the two look at each other and began giggling at each other. If this were an arcade they would have gotten tickets but instead they got two little capsules similar to the monomono machines. Kokichi would reach down to the prize claim and grab the capsules, he puts his hands behind his back and switched them around a few times. Making sure that he and Keebo wouldn't know which was in what hand "Left or Right?" he'd ask as he looks into Keebo's eyes. The robot would think for a moment before pointing at Kokichi's right hand "The right, why do you ask this?" Keebo would tilt his head before Kokichi takes his hand. Gently splaying it open and setting the capsule that was in his right hand onto the robot's palm "That is why, now open it up.. I wanna see what you got!" Kokichi would cheer as he eagerly watched Keebo's capsule Keebo simply chuckled before carefully opening the capsule up and dumping the little prize into his hand. It was a little necklace with a gear shaped charm on it, rather cute and sorta fitting for the ultimate robot "Awh! It's like it was meant for you Keeboy!! You should put it on!" Kokichi cheers as he looks back up to the other, waiting for Keebo to put the necklace on. Keebo sighs at Kokichi's eagerness for Keebo to wear the necklace, at this point he wasn't going to try to correct Kokichi for calling him Keeboy instead of his actual name. He carefully puts the necklace on and fiddles with the charm before looking at Kokichi "what did you win?" Keebo would ask Kokichi curiously.
Kokichi shrugged before going to haphazardly opening his capsule and unceremoniously dumping the little prize into the palm of his own hand. His prize was a small keychain with a cat paw charm on it, the base pad of the paw was a heart shape. He blinks before smiling softly at the little charm "Not too bad, hey, wanna play the clown game again or play something else?" Kokichi would ask as he goes to put the keychain on a belt loop of his pants. Allowing the charm to dangle at his side as he watched the robot who started looking around at the other games he sees a motorcycle racing game machine and hums. He looked to Kokichi before saying "How about the one over here?" Keebo would ask as he walked over to the racing game. "I didn't take you to be a competitive type Keeboy~" Kokichi coos at the robot as he stands beside the other, wrapping his arms around Keebo's and hugging it softly. "W-Well... When it's all in good fun I do enjoy it" Keebo would admit as he blushed softly, looking away from Kokichi sheepishly "Well, what're we waiting for.. I think this one is free to play since there's no prize thing for it" Kokichi says as he lets go of Keebo's arm to go sit on one of the bikes that are connected to the arcade machine. Pointing to the empty one next to him "Takes two to tango y'know." he says as he impatiently waits for Keebo to sit down on the bike as well, Keebo just chuckled before moving to do as Kokichi said. Sitting on the bike and making sure he wouldn't accidentally fall off of it, Kokichi and Keebo look at each other once more before both looking at their respective screens. "You pick the track we race Keeboy" Kokichi hummed as they press start to start up the game, Keebo scrolls through a few by revving the bike pressing the start button on a snowy course. "This one." he said as he focuses on the game, choosing his racer he decided to be a white monokuma with a flower on its head. Kokichi just chose the base Monokuma and made it purple with the customizer, the two set up their in game bikes and once ready the game began.
A monokuma stands at the ready, holding two flags up before the countdown begins....three....two.....ONE! The Monokuma brings the flags down and Keebo and Kokichi were on their way. Along with a few npcs that were to spice up the game a little bit, at first Kokichi had the lead however Keebo had played this game on his own once before. He had gotten a little curious about it and ended up finding a secret shortcut, as soon as the turn for the shortcut came Keebo takes a sharp right. Leaning his body and bike to the right just enough to get his character in game to move, Kokichi was honestly bewildered and since he was too late to react and too far for the shortcut to be worth it he continues on. Swerving around different obstacles and avoiding snow drifts that were placed to slow anyone unfortunate enough to enter them. There were a few times where Kokichi couldn't avoid the one off snowball chucked from the by standing monokuma, Keebo however had passed the area thanks to the shortcut and was quite a ways in front of the leader. Giggling in glee as they play, Keebo keeps his focus on the game and Kokichi can't help but crack a small smile at the other's joy. Three laps later and Keebo had won.... Narrowly, Kokichi was quick to catch onto where the shortcuts were and quickly gained on Keebo. Thank the lord that he had just enough distance in front of Kokichi from the first time to make it, when the leaderboard for the race pops up the two ultimates begin laughing together. "That was quite fun Oma, thank you for inviting me over here to play with you, it was nice getting to see a new side of you... Even if it's only for a little while." Kokichi would look at Keebo and blush softly, he then grins before going to speak "Well of course you had fun with me! I am the supreme leader afterall~ I knoooooooow all about having fun." he said as he hops off the bike "Keeboy, please play with me again sometime soon. I had fun as well, even if you're a gas-breathed robot!~" he teases as he hugged Keebo who was still seated on his bike. Keebo would just sigh before hugging the leader back and patting him "I don't use gas... but alright, I'll hang out with you again sometime soon." After Keebo says that to Kokichi, Kokichi lets go of him and goes to skip out to the game room.
"I look forward to our next playdate...Keeboy."
