Green, White and Red

Hey hey! This is @greenshi 's present for @chibibreeby for @danganronpasecretsanta 's secret Santa! I really hope you like this Brianna, and please have an absolutely wonderful Christmas!

~~~

This party sucks.

You could barely even call it a party, really, but "get-together" or "slumber party" sounded too lame. It was mostly just kids from your school, some from your class, though there were a few kids from some other schools. You were all just over at Leon's house, holding red cups and wearing ugly Christmas sweaters, just like every other Christmas party ever.

This party sucks!

The only reason you even came was because Chihiro wanted to come, but was too nervous to come alone. Speaking of which, where did he go? Last you saw, he was whispering with Mukuro about something. Now, you're all alone, left watching the sickeningly sweet couples surrounding you. You can barely keep yourself from gagging when you see a guy with spiky purple hair go in to kiss his pissed off looking girlfriend. Ugh.

"Mondo?"

You see that Chihiro has finally returned. Thank God.

"There you are, kid. Where'd you run off to?"

"Oh, me and Mukuro were just talking, that's all. Hey, have you seen Ishimaru at all?"

You raise your eyebrow.

"Where'd that come from? You think he'd even be here? He isn't exactly the party type, y'know."

"I-I know, but I asked him to come too, and he said he would, so I'm just wondering if he actually showed up..."

Just then, you hear a faint buzz from Chihiro's pocket. He pulls out his phone and stares at it for a second, before his face falls.

"Oh no..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Chihiro quickly shoves the phone back into his pocket.

"It's Ishimaru...he couldn't get a ride, so he's trying to walk here. That's why he's so late."

"W-Walk? Is he insane?"

You glance out the widow at the snowstorm outside. Howling winds and freezing temperatures filled the cloudy night. To think, Ishimaru walking in this kind of weather...

"Hold on, I'll be right back."

You shove your way through the crowd towards the front door, Chihiro close behind.

"Mondo? Mondo, where are you going?"

"T'pick up Ishimaru. I'll just take my bike, it'll be quicker for'im."

You throw your black jacket on and slide on your boots.

"Y-You're going out there to get him? Will you be alright?"

You adjust your collar before looking back at the shorter boy.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. I've done worse, trust me."

Chihiro still looks unconvinced, but still gives you a nod of approval. You nod back, giving one last encouraging smile, and then head out the door.

The winds almost knock you off balance, but you manage to keep yourself up-right. You make your way to your bike, start it, and ride down the road to where you think Ishimaru is. It doesn't take long to find him, just two blocks away.

"Hey, bro! What the hell are y'doing?"

You see two red eyes pierce through the snow to meet your eyes.

"Mondo? What are you doing out here?"

You shake your head and motion for him to get on the bike. After a short pause, he comes towards you and climbs on behind you, griping your waist.

"You forgot your helmet again!"

You roll your eyes.

"And you forgot how freaking cold it is out here! Seriously, what made you think this was a good fucking idea?"

"It's not as if I was that far away. I could have made it!"

You start your bike again and head down the road, back the way you came.

"...-way."

You swear you hear Ishimaru mumble something behind you. Or maybe it just sounds like mumbling with how loud your bike can be.

"Wuzzat?"

"I said, thank you anyway! It was kind of you to come get me in this weather."

You shrug.

"Least I could do, since Chihiro was all worried 'bout you."

Ishimaru might have said something else, but it was all drowned out by the sound of you driving. It wasn't long before you reached the house again. You and Ishimaru climb off after you shut it off.

"Hm?"

You look over to see Ishimaru looking at the window with confusion. When you look over, you see the curtains quickly close, hiding whatever it was.

"The hell's going on in there?"

"I'm not sure. I saw Chihiro, Mukuro and Naegi watching for us from inside."

You watch the window for another second before a particularly strong gust of wind nearly knocks you over.

"Whatever, we'll figure it out once you get inside. C'mon."

You start towards the front door, grabbing Ishimaru's wrist on the way and dragging him along. He lets out a small sound of surprise, but soon keeps up with your pace.

You grab the doorknob and twist, opening the door. The first thing you see is a crowd of people, all staring at the two of you with wide, expectant grins. Creepy. The first to speak up is a blond girl holding hands with some emo boy in a black hat.

"Well...?"

You raise an eyebrow and look around the crowd.

"The hell are you all staring at? What kinda shit is this?"

You finally find Chihiro, Mukuro and Naegi in the crowd. Chihiro points up, above your head as Naegi does the same. Mukuro just glances between you and the spot above you. Taking the hint, you look up and see...

Mistletoe.

Oh.

Oh no.

Your face almost immediately goes beet red. Since when was that there? That was not there when you left! You glance to your side to see Ishimaru in a similar position, with his cheeks as red as his eyes. He looks back over at Naegi, Chihiro and Mukuro, with a look that you can't really describe. Chihiro looks almost apologetic, Naegi just laughs to himself, and Murkuro gives a rare smirk.

"Well? You gonna do it or what? Come on, don't keep us waiting!"

You recognize that voice as Naegi's sister, who you've seen before attached to Toko by the hip. You're not sure why she's so excited, she barely knows you.

As you think that, two hands suddenly grab the collar of your Christmas sweater and pull you down. You have just enough time to face him as Ishimaru kisses you. It's quick, too quick. His lips are dry and chapped, but somehow warm and comforting, like coming inside from a winter storm. You don't even have time to really react to it at all before he pulls away. When you see his face, it's somehow even redder than before, and he's avoiding eye contact altogether, instead staring at the ground in front of him. You...miss his warmth. The room erupts with cheers as the crowd disperses, soon ignoring and forgetting you and Ishimaru. Naegi, Chihiro and Mukuro approach you two.

"So...how'd you like our little surprise?"

If you could make yourself move in that moment, you would have probably thrown Naegi across the room for that stupid question.

"Suprise...?"

"D-Don't get mad! We just knew that you two liked each other, but wouldn't say anything, so we decided to set this up for you! Once you left to go get Ishimaru, I knew it was our chance, so we set it up and then everyone else got curious so we told them and then-"

"I think they get it."

As Chihiro rambles out an explanation, Mukuro stops him and reaches around you to take down the mistletoe.

No one says anything for a second.

"...Well! We'll leave you two be!"

After Naegi says that way to cheerfully, he takes Mukuro's hand and begins to leave, gesturing for Chihiro to do the same. Once they're gone, you finally turn your attention back to Ishimaru.

"...Why'd they hafta get a crowd around us? It woulda been much easier if it were just us two."

Ishimaru doesn't react to your comment. He seems nervous.

"Hey...s'alright, you don't gotta be nervous or anything. It's fine."

For such an intense guy, it's strange seeing him so quiet. You had to fix that. You chuckle to yourself before leaning down just slightly and press your lips to Ishimaru's forehead carefully.

You swear you hear a quiet yelp of surprise from him as you do it, but it's quickly silenced.

You pull back a second later, a content smile on your face. Ishimaru finally looks up at you, looking either surprised or as if he just realized something. Either way, it's kind of cute.

"I-I...Is this alright? Us being together like this, I mean."

You almost laugh at him for asking such a redundant question. To answer, you lean forward and finally give him a proper kiss.

This time, it's lasts just long enough. Ishimaru takes your hand into his and laces your fingers together. It's...pretty perfect. You pull away, wearing a smile. You rest your forehead against his, with your hands still together and noses almost touching.

"Does that answer your question?"

Ishimaru smiles.
