Chapter 5 Part 1: Key of Love

(Note: I changed the original image to one I drew for this Love Suite! I hope you all enjoy it! By the way, if anyone knows a lot about discord groups, please message my Wattpad dms because I'm working on a group for all of my readers who have discord)

Your POV:

I let myself fumble around in my dorm room with a nervous expression on my face. I decided to visit the casino prior to this eventful night, the thoughts still on my mind like a racing train.
    I recently purchased an item that made me wonder what was going to happen. The casino had a lot of items to be purchased, one of them being the Key of Love. It was an item I was curious of for a while, so I decided to purchase one. This so called "Key of Love" was a silver key with the top part shaped as a heart, a red gem glowing in the center for all eyes to see. I honestly wondered what it unlocked and why it was given such a name.
    I guess I would find out soon enough. There was no use on dwelling on that fact. The things that happened today.... the fear that I felt when all of that went down... Miu somehow being brought back even though I didn't do anything... it was terrifying.
    I could feel my eyes grow heavy as I recalled the events of that day... the investigation that had ensued... I was growing tired. I couldn't help it but be drained from what happened. It was exhausting to think on all of the possibilities that could've happened, and chances were.... the mastermind somehow found out about what I was doing... chances are... they'd take me out when they had the chance and blame it on someone else.
     That sadly wasn't the end of it. Miu tried to attack Kokichi because he used her own plan to kill him against her. The conversation we had about the whole ordeal... The image of Kaito coughing up blood was fresh in my mind as it previously caused panic to form. Heck, prior to that, Kokichi had a terrifying monologue that was enough to give anyone nightmares. Everything that happened seemed to be too much for me to handle, and the stress was getting to me.
     I felt myself drop to my bed with what felt like bags under my eyes. We all decided go spend the rest of the day in our dorms, but now it was night time. I was so sleepy... I could feel my eyes start to shut as I felt myself fully collapse onto the bed, going into a deep slumber. Maybe I wouldn't even wake up the next day... that was the reality I was faced with in my predicament.

———
    "Ohhhh!" a shrill voice exclaimed, "heroes shouldn't be asleep on the job! How pathetic."
    My eyes were closed as I heard that, but I honestly thought it was a part of a dream I was having. I decided to shrug it off and continue sleeping. I was very beat from what happened the day prior, so I couldn't help but be tired about the whole situation.
    "Good morning!" I heard an all too enthusiastic voice shout, pulling me from my slumber, "Although it's technically still night, do you feel well rested anyway?"
My eyes opened, a tired expression on my face as I felt myself shocked and slightly annoyed that Monokuma was in my bedroom. My dorm room was dark, and I could barely make out the silhouette of the bear that I oh-so despised so much. Why was he here when it was this late? All I remember was falling asleep on my bed with the key I purchased to get my mind off of everything.
"Monokuma, what are you doing in here...?" I asked with a tired voice.
    "Nice face, (y/n)," Monokuma laughed, "you defiantly look your best in the morning. You could look better, though. I'm pretty picky about people's morning faces. Shuichi and Kaede both had superb morning faces, but you... you have some work to do."
    I couldn't help but have an annoyed expression on my face as those words came out of Monokuma's mouth. He woke me up while I was sleeping, and he started to judge me because of how I looked, being somewhat half asleep. I was already judged profusely before coming to this school, so this didn't help my mood at all. I was more used to being supported by other people, not judged, so I couldn't help but feel a bit sour from Monokuma's mockery.
    "Can you please tell me what you're doing here?" I asked, "I want to go back to sleep..."
    "How rude!" Monokuma exclaimed angrily, "my time is very valuable, y'know! Since you fell asleep with that Love Key in your arms... I went out of my way to come wake you! I really wish nerds like you were more appreciative!"
    I slowly looked down at the key I was holding when Monokuma mentioned it. I held up the key, pointing at it with a tired expression my face that I've held since being woken up by Monokuma. I never even knew what this key did.
    "You mean this...?" I asked, "I bought it from the casino to get my mind off of everything that happened today... what about it?"
    "Weeeell, I came all this way to tell you how to use it!" Monokuma exclaimed, "yep, yep! That's why I woke you!"
    "What do you mean by, *how to use it*?" I asked in response.
    "Puhuhu..." Monokuma laughed, "that key opens the way to a very special place... A place you might've seen in the vicinity of the casino... Hint hint..."
    When Monokuma mentioned that the building this key unlocked was in the area of the casino, I realized it was a certain building I tried to investigate, but I couldn't get into it. It did seem like that place would have this type of key. There was no other way to get into it, so this key was quote-on-quote the *key*.
    "Puhuhu!" Monokuma laughed, "you look like you've figured it out! Good. A healthy teenager's brain is supposed to be obsessed with sex and lust! That key you got there should help you clear out some of those carnal desires!"
I couldn't help but feel embarrassed about the words the monochromatic bear was spewing out of his mouth. Sex? Lust? Carnal desires? Was the key I purchased some sort of thing to get me to do the deed? It was so confusing...
"Oh, is the Otaku starting to get worked up?" Monokuma asked with a blush on his face, "are you ready to expose yourself? Now then, please read the instructions."
I had no idea a pamphlet came with this key. Monokuma handed me the directions so I could read it. From what I understood of it, a random person and myself were invited to the Love Suite. Once I was there, I would have to be a part of that person's fantasy. I would be seen as their ideal romance interest, and that person would swoon over me. It was like an escape from this cruel reality... The instructions clearly stated that I had to play the role that I would be given. If I break character even for a second, then that person would wake up in anguish. I didn't want to make anyone upset, so I knew I had to do that.
Apparently, what happened in the suite would stay in the suite. Once I exited, my memories would be wiped clean. I wouldn't remember a thing. It was stated like a one night stand, but in a dream, which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. As long as I played the role I was given, that person would wake up in a good mood.
"Oh?" Monokuma asked, "you seem skeptical. Why don't you try it out for yourself, then? Go ahead, take that Love Key for a spin... if you do agree, then let love take hold of you! It'll make you sweeter than a bear's honey pot!"
Monokuma left after that, making me rub my eyes from the information I was given about this key. The key felt heavier in my hand. I was stunned from all of this, and being tired didn't help one bit. That was the truth in this situation.
'I don't think it would hurt to try this out...' I thought, 'it could be a one time thing...'
I decided to use the love key. I had no idea how I would get to the so called "Love Hotel", but I found myself there in a flash. The room looked overly decorated, a heart bed stationed in the center of the room. There seemed to be a wall donning ropes, fuzzy handcuffs, and other things. I could feel myself grow nervous while staring at that. There was a carousel horse going around the room, decorated with reds, pinks, black, white, and a few other colors. It was more than obvious that this room was centered around the love aspect.
As I was looking around, I could barely make out the sound of footsteps coming into the suite. Part of me was wondering when the random person would come into the suite. I knew I was the first one there, and the other person would be here soon.
    Turning around, I jumped slightly from shock, seeing the person that was chosen for this suite. That person was my boyfriend. Having him invited to the Love Suite had to be beginners luck. In all honesty, I was pretty happy to see him. I was happy that he was the one who came into the suite with me tonight.
    I knew I was going to be playing the role of Rantaro's "ideal". It was going to be like some sort of shared fantasy. It felt to me like I was going to see what type of fantasy Rantaro would have. He was caring, but also an enigma... whatever his fantasy is... I hope I can play the role well enough.
    "Hey, (y/n)," Rantaro greeted with a small chuckle, "it looks like you're all ready to go on our next trip."
    "Trip...?" I asked nervously in response.
    There were only a few things I could register with the word "trip". I had no idea who Rantaro's true ideal was... maybe this had something to do with what he told me about himself in the very beginning.
    "(y/n), you know exactly what I'm talking about," Rantaro laughed, "you know very well that the ship is set to sail at first light tomorrow. We still have a job to do, and it's actually quite nice that I'm not doing it alone."
I found myself starting to figure out what role I was playing in Rantaro'a fantasy. Like what I promised in the beginning, I knew that I was helping him find his sisters in this fantasy. It was what I promised him, and I knew his fantasy was based on that. I knew that I had to play along with this, even though this wasn't reality yet.
"If we are setting sail as soon as the sun rises, we should probably get some sleep," I explained, "it wouldn't be a good thing to set sail with no sleep."
"Ah-haha, the old (y/n) wouldn't say that," Rantaro laughed, "you're like a completely different person from when I first met you. I could still remember it as if it were yesterday. I remember seeing you walking to the store one day clutching a small amount of money, trying to get enough food to support yourself. You always had a sad and disheveled expression on your face, as if you had no one who was there for you."
It felt to me that I was myself in his fantasy, but instead of meeting him here, I met him after I was abandoned by my family. I could recall the days that I tried to scrap for money to try and support myself... it really felt like I was playing the role of myself. Rantaro definitely would do that.
    "I remember talking to you about why you looked so upset, and that's when I found out you were abandoned," Rantaro explained, "so I decided to take you under my roof, and give you a family who would support you. You used to watch anime all night, using that as a coping mechanism, but look at you now. I'm so proud of you, my sweet little (y/n)."
    After Rantaro said that, he tussled my hair with a smile. I understood his fantasy a lot more clearly now. This was a fantasy where he helped me when I was abandoned, giving me a place to stay. I couldn't help but smile in response to his words. He really was sweet.
    "We agreed that you would be my partner in helping me find my sisters as well," Rantaro explained, "and I've had so much fun being able to tutor you on our trips so far as well."
    I couldn't help but feel myself blush. He was not only someone who took me in, but he also was a tutor while we were out on trips. It seemed that a lot was going on in this fantasy, but I was happy. It was nice to know that I was myself in his fantasy.
    "Y'know, (y/n), I know I've been talking a lot, but there is a reason we are here," Rantaro explained, "I wonder if you know the reason."
    I couldn't help but notice a smug smile form on Rantaro's face. In this fantasy, I was taken in by him, as well as being his partner. Since I was his "ideal" in this fantasy, I must've been in a relationship with him at this point. That was the only thing it could be.
    "Is it our anniversary...?" I asked nervously.
Rantaro seemed to chuckle lightly in response to that. He was smiling lightly when I gave my answer. At this moment, I realized I was right. My answer was right in my boyfriend's fantasy.
"You're right about that," Rantaro explained with a smile, "I confessed my love for you a year ago, and you felt the same way. As I got to know you after you moved in, I fell in love with you. In any case, I wanted to do something special for our anniversary. You get that, yeah?"
"I-I do..." I muttered nervously in response, "what did you have in mind?"
Rantaro seemed to think for a moment. He had his hand on his chin, looking up slightly as he tried to think. After a few moments, he turned to look at me. He slowly walked over, wrapping his arms around me. He held me tight, causing a light blush to form on my face. He was so warm... his embrace was comforting. It soothed me to the very core, extinguishing my worries in the process.
"Before I tell you what I was thinking, I want to make something very clear to you," Rantaro explained.
"I'm listening..." I told him, "I'll always listen to you... no matter what. I love you, Rantaro."
"Ah-haha, I know you do," Rantaro replied, "there has been a few thoughts on my mind... every time I went on a trip... a sister of mine would go missing. I've always feared that when we set out on adventures together to find my sisters... I always was terrified of the thought that I would somehow lose you like I lost them..."
As Rantaro explained that, his arms tightened even more around me. He was clutching me tightly, signifying that Rantaro was serious about what he was saying. It made sense... he didn't want to lose anyone he cared about any more. That much was obvious to me.
I decided to bring one of my arms out of Rantaro's grasp, reaching up to cup the greenette's cheek. He seemed to have a shocked look on his face as I did so, pink dusting just usually calm features. I gave a caring smile to Rantaro, showing that everything would be alright. I knew his fantasy wasn't what really happened in my life, but tonight was all about him. I had to make sure that he wouldn't be upset once he woke up. That was my responsibility here.
"You will never lose me Rantaro," I explained, "you helped me so much. You took me in, you got to know me for who I was. You fell in love with who I was, and I fell in love with you. I will never leave your side."
Rantaro seemed to let out a soft chuckle in response to my words. He removed one of his arms that were wrapped around me, keeping the other one snug in place. He placed his hand on top of my hand that was cupping his cheek. He closed his eyes in what looked like genuine relief and happiness.
"I want to protect you, (y/n)," Rantaro explained, "you've been through so much... I want to shield you from any danger and worries you might have. Being with you has been the best thing that's every happened in my life after hardships I've faced. I hope that I did the same for you."
"You have done the same for me," I told him, "you are the best thing that's ever happened to me. I hope you will let me protect you from the worries of your heart as well."
Rantaro looked happy hearing that. His smile was genuine as he released the hug. I smiled at him as he took a step back. My mind soon drifted to the thought of what his idea was for our anniversary. If it was anything as Monokuma explained it would be... chances were, it would get pretty steamy and spicy.
No matter what happened though, this was Rantaro's fantasy, and I was there with him. To talk to him, and to love him. That's what I would do in reality as well. This night would be an escape from the cruel reality I lived in, and this escape would be something I haven't felt before.
"I'm guessing my little (y/n) is curious about what I want to do for our anniversary, right?" Rantaro asked, "well... you may think I'm a playboy for saying this, but I feel like we should expose ourselves to each other in a way that will make us become one."
As Rantaro said that, I realized what he meant by that. I could feel my face heat up as the words came out of his mouth. He wanted us to become one... in other words, he wanted to do the birds and the bees with me. Even if I would be nervous about this... this was his fantasy.
Rantaro seemed to be still for a moment. I knew he was very well serious about what he was saying. I had no idea if he was waiting for me to reply or not. My face was burning up, sprouting deep red that would bring Kirishima's dyed hair to shame. This whole situation was definitely going to be different from what he pulled when we first met. It was definitely going to be different from what he did when he got jealous that I was hanging out with Ryoma and Kaito instead of him.
     What happened next felt like slow motion as it happened. Rantaro surged forward, grabbing one of my hands. With what looked like minimal effort, I felt myself being pulled. My (h/l) hair flowed as I was pulled, friction from the air, causing cool air to blow all over my face, and through my hair. I could feel slight panic and shock take over as this happened. It most certainly took my off guard, and I was guessing Rantaro knew that very well.
I could feel myself land on something soft. The side of my face was pressed against what felt like silky cloth. My hands were resting on that said material as well. There was only one guess on my mind to what was happening. Rantaro pulled me onto the heart shaped bed. That's why I felt soft, silky fabric.
My heart was beating so fast at this point. It was like my heart was about to burst out of my chest at any given moment. Shock was making its way into my heart, but I somehow knew that it was only just the beginning. I somehow knew that it wasn't over yet.
I could barely register a new weight on the bed. Half of my face was pressed against the bed, and I saw what looked like a hand pressing down on the bed. What came next was a shadow that loomed over me. I pushed myself up slightly using my hands, and my body pushed into something, rather... someone...
I flipped the rest of my body over, so I would be laying on my back, and that's when I saw what was going on. Like what Rantaro did when we first met, and like he did when he got jealous. Rantaro was on top of me. His hands acted like a cage, keeping me from getting out of this situation. Rantaro stared down at me...
    The look in his eyes was different than it was those past two times. The first time this happened, his eyes held a teasing look, even though his face remained calm. The second time, his eyes were serious, but his eyes held a loving look despite that situation. Now... his eyes held a serious and seductive look.
    I could feel my face turn red as he did this. My heart was pounding in my chest as Rantaro brought his head down, to stare me directly in the eyes. No matter how nervous I was about this whole thing, I had a role to play. Rantaro chuckled with a huskiness in his voice.
    "Ah-haha, you are so cute when you get all flustered like this," Rantaro told me, his hot breath grazing my lips, "I know you're nervous about this, so I promise I'll be gentle."
     I could feel Rantaro press his body up against mine. I continued to stare at his face, his eyes holding a soft, caring look as he said those words. My body was starting to feel hot, but not in embarrassment... it was weird.... This whole situation was strange to me. I was nervous... I really was. I knew very well that this fantasy was Rantaro's.
    Rantaro leaned his face down, and I couldn't see his eyes or facial features anymore. I was puzzled on why this was, but soon enough I got my answer when I felt his hot breath against my ear. My face was flushed, and my heart started to rapidly pound in my chest.
    "Ah-haha, you really are nervous, huh?" Rantaro asked in a husky voice, "it's okay, so just relax. Show me the part of you that you are scared to show others. Show me, and only me the pleasure you are going to feel tonight. It isn't just about me. It's also about you. I'm going to dedicate this night into pleasing you for the first time."
    I could feel myself shudder slightly in response to that. I knew this was Rantaro's fantasy, but he wasn't making it about him. He wanted me to show him a part of myself that I was too scared to let other people see... this fantasy... Rantaro really was an enigma. Sometimes, even I didn't know what would happen next.
    "When we begin..." Rantaro trailed off, "I don't want you to hide any noises you'd be embarrassed to make. I want you to expose yourself wholeheartedly to me, and in turn, I'll do the same for you. Now, let's begin."
    I never thought something like this would happen. This was deep in the heart of my boyfriend's fantasy, and it really showed how much he cared. He was with me, and I was with him. I guess that's all I could ask for... but this night... it would be long forgotten...

Hey all! I decided to give you all a highly anticipated chapter three days early! A lot of heavy stuff went on, but now, you all have something to squeal over. I know I was giggling and laughing to myself as I wrote out this chapter.

Rantaro's love hotel for reader is obviously different than the one for Shuichi. I wanted to give a different story, and I hope I did that well. I'm sure a lot of you are mad at me for not writing out very spicy parts. I'm sure all of you knows what happens.

In any case, I wanted to give you guys a treat and update early. Also because of packing, I wanted to get this out of the way. We've finally started chapter five, and I at least want to do Kokichi's love hotel before this story ends. I hope you all loved this! I'll see you all next week if I can update! Ciao for now!- yuki_no_fuyu
