We R Who We Were NDRV3

Chapter 38: Your my reason

Shuichi's POV
Just us three agian. God how long has it been since the three of us were together without the other's around. It's just like how it used to be I guess.

It was a windowless room. Full of lights and equipment. Next to me was Tenko and all that was in front of us was our dying friend.

I pulled my cap down as I walked up to his nearly lifeless body. Tenko stood behind.

I stood over him. " Hey Ryoma.. it's shuichi" I say trying to sound positive. " I um.. I hope you're doing okay..." I say to him. I'm not good at being encouraging.

What am I even doing.. my best friend is laying in a possible death bed, because of me...

I can't tear up. I can't cry. I can't be weak. I have to be strong for him.

" So.. hey, we talked to Mr. Kodaka... guess what? This season is a special one.. their going to turn this season and the next into a trilogy... we're special!" I say to him croaking. " You hear that buddy!.. We're special... your speacial.." I say grasping his hand falling onto me knees.

" So c'mon, wake up! You can't miss this Ryoma! This is our chance to shine.."

I'm nearly at my breaking point now. I can't lose him. Yes I have more friends now, I have a girlfriend, I've had sex, I've been selected for my favorite show and I've been told I'm important. All these things are important to me yes... but they mean nothing if I can't tell others I achieved all of things with my best friend at side like he is right now..

" Ryoma.. I know you must feel sad.. I know it must hurt bu-"

SLAM

I turn my head to face the cause of the noise.
Tenko's POV
My hand aches. It hurts really fucking bad. I feel like screaming out in pain. But this is nothing, compared to the pain I feel looking at my dying friend.

I slide my hand off the wall and walked towards Ryoma.

" Wake up..." I say. No reaction from him. " Wake up" I say firmly. Still nothing.

I can't control myself any more. " WAKE UP!" I scream, throwing my arms in the air as the tears fall.

Shuichi couldn't even look up. " RYOMA YOU NEED TO WAKE UP! DANGANRONPA v3 IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! WE'VE WAITED OUR WHOLE LIVES FOR THIS CHANCE!" I scream at him.

Still nothing. He won't move, he won't even budge. " PLEASE RYOMA, I NEED YOU!" I scream falling on top of him crying my eyes out.

For the very first time, I saw Shuichi cry. He's never ever cried before.

" She's right Ryoma, We can't do this without you! WE'RE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU!" He told him falling on all fours.

I now it might be futile to do this but. We have to try.

" Ryoma.. do you remember the day we fought the bullies in Junior High?" I asked him.

No response. " Do you remember how it was just us three. We made a pact to make them stop. We started a food war in the cafeteria" I said partially chuckling at that last statement.
