A/N: WHOO BOY, ENJOY SOME FUN TIMES WITH THE AHOGE SQUAD~

--

Your day began entangled in a pile of warm, moving bodies. No, not in that way.

You awoke in a giant, nicely-decorated bed with a girl cuddled to your right side and a boy cuddled to your left. Another boy, one with dark brown hair, held you to his chest, and a boy with light brown hair had his arms wrapped around your waist, his cheek resting on your stomach.

Luckily you were still clothed; apparently sometime last night you'd managed to change into your usual nightwear; an oversized shirt and shorts. The others were also in varying states of dress, from the girl's cute pink nightie to the bare chest of the one you lay against. You shifted, feeling cotton against your arm. Good... he still has boxers on.

It all felt so intimate and... warm. You blinked lazily, glancing towards the girl. She had a serene smile on her face, your arm hugged to her chest. Her fingers were interlaced with yours. Then you looked toward the boy at your left. He had a smile too, though he simply held your hand between you. He was cute; black hair hung low over his face, nearly obscuring it.

A shifting behind you made you look up, a soft moan escaping the boy that meant he was rousing. His eyes opened slowly, revealing olive-green irises that immediately darted down to you.

He smiled, gently squeezing you closer. "Good morning, dear."

"G'mornin'," you mumbled, closing your eyes for a moment as he pecked your forehead.

Your head was fuzzy still, your memories from the days before were still jumbled. You recalled a big trial and four familiar faces popping out amongst the crowd, but after that was a mess of warmth and limbs and then you woke up here.

You blinked when the face at your stomach peered up at you. The boy was cute, an adorable blush accentuating the smile on his face when he beheld you.

"Haji-kun got to greet you first? No fair," he murmured, pouting slightly. He leaned up to peck your cheek. "Good morning."

You yawned into your hand. "Where are we?" You asked sleepily, tilting your head up. Oh, there's a mirror there. How fun.

"We're in our bedroom, of course; a complete recreation of the Kumasutra Hotel rooms," the boy with darker hair explained, stretching slightly as he also yawned. "Kaede and Shu brought us all here after the trial ended the day before last, and you've been asleep ever since."

"... you really worried us, y'know," the lighter brown one chimed in quietly. "We thought you'd never wake back up."

"Why did I get knocked out?" You asked, concern coloring your face.

"The trial must have been too much of a shock for you to handle." The one you lay against heaved a sigh. "Do you remember any of us?"

Pausing, you thought for a moment. He looked very familiar, but you couldn't quite place his name. One came to mind, and you scrunched up your nose at it. No, he doesn't look like an 'Izuru'...

Seeing your plight, the one at your stomach smiled gently. "I'm Makoto, and that's Hajime." He pointed to the girl, "That's Kaede," and then to the boy at your left, "and that's Shuichi."

Ah, now you remembered.

Nodding along, you squirmed a bit. "Ah, what happens now?" Your memory was starting to come back. You faintly remembered a smaller girl(?) with short blond hair talking to you. Their voice was completely muffled, but their face was scared. What happened to them, I wonder?

"For now, we need to focus on getting you readjusted to your life here," Hajime replied, reaching down to cup your cheeks with his hands. He tilted your head back so that you could lock eyes with him, and he smiled lovingly down at you. "Kaede and Shu will be very pleased that you woke up. Those two haven't left your side since we got you settled in."

You heard a soft groan come from your right, and almost as if summoned awake, Kaede's eyes slowly opened, revealing magenta irises that darted from Makoto to you. A smile spread across her face, wide and excited, and she gripped your arm tighter, snuggling into your shoulder. She kind of reminded you of a puppy. It was cute.

"She's awake," her voice was light and happy as she pressed her lips to your collarbone. "How do you feel? Any headaches at all?"

"No, I feel fine," you shook your head. "So, uh... recap for me. How did I get here? What happened?" Where are the others that keep surfacing in my memories? The one in the yellow jumpsuit? The strong-looking girl? The pretty one with blue hair and glasses?

At this, Kaede's face fell. She pouted at you, looking away. "Do we really have to tell her?" She whined softly, giving Hajime a look.

"If we don't, she's liable to freak out more," he deadpanned. "Might as well get it out of the way."

"Get what out of the way?" You questioned, giving the boy a frown.

Makoto let out a sigh, hugging you closer to himself. "(y/n), when I tell you, please don't freak out. And not just because Shu-kun is still sleeping."

"Freak out about what?" Your eyes darted about, slightly worried. "If you're telling me that I murdered someone, I'm gonna freak out, but otherwise I can make no promises."

Kaede and Makoto shared a glance.

"(y/n)..." she began, her fingers interlacing with yours, "you were a contestant in a game. It was called 'Ultra Danganronpa Elimination Round', where contestants from Hope's Peak High School were handpicked to participate in a fast-paced final season."

"It's kind of like Survivor, if you've ever watched that American TV show," Makoto hurriedly explained upon seeing your confusion. "You get voted off due to special games and hidden prizes you find. Ultra Elimination was like that, but instead of voting off via games, you get voted off by special 'whodunnit' cases."

"Anyways," Kaede interjected, "we were the hidden masterminds of the game. Our goal was to both blend in and get as many eliminated as possible before we were found out. A few days ago, we held our last Elimination Trial, and since everyone else managed to vote out the wrong person..." she hesitated for an uncomfortable few seconds, her stare making you feel uneasy, "... we were able to win the game."

"Okay, sounds legit, but... why was I left with you then?" You shook your head, trying to wrap it around what you'd just been told. "If everyone else got eliminated..."

"You were the one accused, (y/n)," Makoto piped up. "Did you really think we'd ever let you get eliminated at all, though?"

"We'd never let you lose our game, (y/n)," Hajime's voice was low and soothing, and you shivered when you felt his breath near your ear. "We love you too much to let that happen."

"That's right!" Kaede chirped, kissing your collar again with a grin. "And now we've finally got you here with us, and nobody else can have you!"

"Wh... what do you mean by that...?" You felt your stomach sink with the strange gleam in her eyes.

"The game show we were a part of," Hajime said, "was actually a bid to plague the whole world with despair. If their shining elite were to fall, who knows what that would do to their fragile grasp on hope?"

"I was called the Ultimate Hope during my time at school, instead of the 'Ultimate Luck' talent that I was given upon enrollment," Makoto giggled. "When it was revealed that I was one of the masterminds, you should have seen the ratings skyrocket! People were devastated, but they just couldn't look away!"

"And that brings us to you." Hajime continued, stroking your face lovingly. "You caught our eye from the very beginning, Ultimate Figure Skater. You're so... graceful, so ethereal... we just had to have you for ourselves."

"And now here you are!" Kaede giggled again. "Within these walls, you'll be totally safe! Nobody can break out, and nobody can break in!"

A soft groan next to you made the others stop. "You're being so loud..."

Slowly, the last boy awoke, blinking groggily at the others. The frown on his face melted away when he locked eyes with you, and the softest of smiles spread across his face as he squeezed your hand.

"Hey, how are you feeling, love?" He asked, his voice still husky with sleep.

"We were just telling her about what happened before," Kaede explained, reaching out to hold his free hand. "Isn't this exciting? I've always wanted to room with a girlfriend, but I've never actually had one!"

"You're safe here with us," Hajime echoed those words, and it sent dread straight to your chest. "We'll always protect you and love you, (y/n). You're our entire world now."

"B- but," you protested feebly, "what about the outside? Your families? Friends?"

"All of that is gone now, love," Shuichi replied. "Now that Despair has finally ravaged all of humanity... oh, as that weird Junko girl used to gush about, I suppose hope as finally died out."

The color drained from your face as the four closed in. My family... my friends... they're all dead? Just like that?!

"That look on your face... ah, I can't get enough," Kaede groaned. "You're so beautiful when you've lost all hope, (y/n)~"

The four pressed in, their lips landing at different spots on your face. Lips, cheeks, forehead. The warmth from their close contact seemed to burn differently, engulfing your entire body in flames.

Defeated, you lay there with your kidnappers doting on you, resigned to your fate.

Maybe someday you'd start to care about them. Maybe when all of your memories returned and the sting of betrayal faded away could you return their feelings. But for now, you were totally numb.
