Work Text:
Souda was crouching on the stairs that leads up to the roof, watching his precious Miss Sonia talking to the class weirdo: Tanaka Gundam. Needless to say, he was not having a good day. Actually, it wasn't his idea to stalk them today. He was fiddling around with machines until their underclassmen, Junko Enoshima, came up to him and told him to go up to the roof.
Sonia was laughing at something Tanaka had said, and the burning envy inside Souda was about to explode. Like, who the hell does he think he is stealing Miss Sonia away like that!?
Suddenly Sonia leaned forwards, taking both Tanaka and Souda by surprise. When Sonia's lips collided with Tanaka's, it felt like an anvil had dropped out of the sky and into Souda stomach. The feeling was so indescribable it hurt. No, it felt even worse. It was torture. He couldn't stop the tears from falling, nor did he want to.
Tanaka's face was as red as a tomato and Sonia was laughing and laughing
and laughing.
Souda couldn't take it anymore.
He ran down the stairs and through the halls.
Running.
Hurt.
Pain.
Rejection.
He slammed the door to his dorm and hurled himself onto his bed.
He could almost hear Sonia's voice laughing and saying:
Run! RUN!
YOU
CAN'T
RUN
FROM
PAIN.

Are a
COWARD.

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.
And just like that, Souda's world came crashing down.
Why the hell did he deserve anything at al except
despair.
