#ndrv3 imagines

Prompt: How would Kaede react to her s/o being the mastermind and they casually tell her that they killed Shuichi with the ‘first come first serve rule’ because he’s too smart for the killing game and felt that he was too close to her as well?

…

• Shuichi had been found, dead, in the kitchen. The scene was brutal to say the least. A large knife had slit his throat and stabbed him in the abdomen.
  
• Nobody really knew what to do. None of them actually expected a murder to occur.
  
• Which brings up another good point: which one of them had done it? Shuichi hadn’t done anything harmful. He’d been nothing but supportive, if not rather quiet.
  
• Everyone was on edge, knowing that someone standing among them had done this. Many were crying for a life lost. For Shuichi’s lost life or for the realization that they might lose theirs. Who knows which.
  
• Kaede was crying the hardest; after all, she had the strongest bond with him at that point.
  
• You turned to her and quietly asked if she wanted to go to your room to try and calm down, and she agreed. She saw no risk in going with you since you were comforting her, and also since everyone else saw the two of you leave together.
  
• You had got back to your room and shut the door. Leaving no room for her to speak, you told her the truth. “I killed him.”
  
• ”Wha— what are you talking about??” quickly turned into “WHY??? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS???” Kaede wanted to run out and tell everyone, but you were blocking the door.
  
• You gave her a quick rundown of what she needed to know. Shuichi was the biggest threat. You were in control of this game. You enjoyed their suffering. You ended your explanation saying that sure, she could try to tell the others, but hoe suspicious would that look? There’s no reason you would confess so openly and it would look as if she was trying to pin the blame on you.
  
• With that, you left the room to go “investigate” with everybody. Leaving her on the ground, sobbing over the loss of both Shuchi and who she had thought of as a possible lover. You.
  

Prompt: 
Can you please do a scenario where Shuichi and Maki were poisoned and Himiko’s trapped in a situation where she can only one of them with a antidote and leave safely? Himiko angst would be great.

Response: Time for that good good angst. I’ll write this as a base start, with two different endings under the cut!

…

Oh no. Oh God no. This wasn’t supposed to happen; the three of them were supposed to get out alive and see the world and try to recover from the horrific images of their dead friends that they had been forced to witness. But the rules of the game still applied: to an extent. Only two students could leave. The gender of the two didnt matter now, or at least Himiko guesses since there’s a 50/50 chance of two girls or a boy and a girl leaving. She is unclear why she gets an automatic pass, and she really wishes she hadn’t. Because sure, she gets to live, but what does that matter if her friends can’t leave with her? The scenario is simple, typical, even, to a horror movie. Shuichi and Maki have been injected with a deadly poison, and Himiko has the antidote. But there’s only enough for one person to be saved. Her racing thoughts are cut off by Shuichi.

“Himiko…” he groans. The poison is visibly discoloring his skin, along with Maki’s, and they all know that a decision has to be made quickly. “Himiko, save Maki and get out of here. She can protect you more than I can.”

“No! Save him, what use am I to you anyways? Shuichi is more resourceful!” Maki yells.

Himiko is distraught. She’s sobbing and can barely form coherent sentences. “I don’t want to choose! Why do I have to choose?! Please… there has to be a way to get us all out of here. We’re a team, remember?!” She looks around the room they are in; the only room that wasn’t destroyed by Kiibo.

“Himiko, please.” The discoloration is spreading across Shuichi’s arm and, presumably, his chest. His movements are sluggish along with his words, but he nudges Himiko towards Maki. “Get her out of here. For me.”

Maki, rather shakily, takes a step towards Himiko. The skin by her collarbone is changing tone. “Choose Shuichi. He’ll help you leave.”

Himiko is left crying between them. She doesn’t want to choose which of her friends die. She cant leave one of them behind. She stares at the both of them with fear. Fear and uncertainty. She can only leave with one.

“Save Maki!!”

“Save Shuichi!!”

She walks towards….

Shuichi

“Im sorry, but I’m choosing you.”

Saihara is handed the antidote. He stares at Maki and opens his mouth as if to interject, but closes it when he sees Maki nod. He drinks what he was given, and cries. All of them cry. What else are they supposed to do? The two then run over to Maki, who is now sitting on the ground looking incredibly faint. Surprisingly, with tears running down her face, Maki smiles. She smiles and says, “Thank you, for listening to me.”

Himiko wails, “Im sorry!! Im so- Im so sorry…” She cant stop crying. She just chose to end her friends life. It would’ve happened no matter who she chose, but that doesn’t change the fact that she did it. Maki extends her hands to both of them. She’s breathing heavily, and ends up needing to lean against Shuichi to stay upright. They, of course grab her hands as tight as they can. Saihara subconsciously notices that Maki barely squeezes back.

“Keep going guys…I know you’ll work towards a better future once you’re out of here,” Maki manages to mumble. “Promise me… promise you won’t forget me. Forget us.”

“I promise,” they both respond. They can’t bring themselves to say anything else. What else is there to say? Not much, they think, so they settle for hugging her and crying.

‘At least my death has a purpose’ she thinks. ‘I’ll tell the others you say hello; if they cant see this already that is’.

Maki dies with a smile.

Maki

“Drink this, please. Please,” Himiko practically begs.

Maki refuses at first, yells to give the antidote to Shuichi, but Himiko stands her ground. She insists Maki drinks it, and Shuichi mumbles words of both agreement and encouragement. Eventually Himiko waits until Maki is protesting and grabs her face, pouring the antidote into her mouth while its open. Maki nearly spits it out before realizing that Shuichi would still die if she did so. So, she drank it.

Himiko has tears running down her face and seems ready to collapse, which may just be the only reason Maki doesn’t start yelling at her for the decision that was just made. Coincidentally, Shuichi also seems ready to collapse. He falls to his knees and starts to cough violently, blood splattering on his sleeve. Himiko runs over to him and rubs his back in hopes he’ll stop coughing, while Maki has to half-crawl half-scoot over to them since she’s too weak to stand anymore.

Shuichi can barely hear himself think over Himiko’s apologizing. She wont stop saying “Im sorry Im sorry Im sorry”, and Maki stays silent but lays him down so his head rests in her lap.

“You are forgiven,” he says.

Before he can no longer feel his heartbeat he thinks, ‘I know you’ll move forward. Make me proud.’

Neither.

She stands still, contemplating the bottle in her hands. She can’t choose. She really can’t.

So she chooses the unforeseen third option: neither.

The bottle is dropped from her hands, and the fragile glass breaks upon contact with the floor. Himiko is faintly aware of both Maki and Shuichi yelling at her, but in the moment, she can’t find herself to care. By doing this she chose to save neither of them. Both of her friends will be gone, but at least she didn’t have to make such a hard decision. The situation is out of her hands. Literally.

“HIMIKO WHAT THE HELL???” Maki yells. Or rather, she’s been yelling since the bottle broke. Shuichi is yelling too.

Himiko turns towards Maki, trying to formulate a response. But how can she? How can she explain that she knows she just caused their deaths, but she couldn’t choose which deserved to die. Because neither did. Neither did but both are going to now. Both Shuichi and Maki mean the world to Himiko after everything they’ve been through. But both are equal to her. Not one is above the other. She just couldn’t make a decision like that.

Shuichi, as observant as he is, can only guess how Himiko is feeling, and what she meant to do. He, in a sort of twisted way, can see where she’s coming from. He’s still pissed because she, by not choosing which to kill, effectively chose both of them to die. But he’s certainly not as pissed as Maki is.

“HIMIKO, ANSWER ME! WHY DIDN’T YOU SAVE HIM???” The yelling is still from Maki, who is, understandably, losing her cool since both she and one of her friends are about to die.

Himiko is still lost, trying to clear her thoughts, trying to figure out how to explain.

Shuichi answers for her. “She did what her instincts told her to do. She had to make a choice, and this is it. There’s no reversing her choice, just accepting it.”

Maki stops yelling and really looks at Himiko.

Himiko is a complete mess. She seems to have really just processed what she did. She falls to her knees and wails even louder than when she cried at the end of the third trial. No one can hear anything over her sobbing, including Himiko herself. She’s scared and lost and holy shit she just killed both of her friends, is she really any better than any of the previous killers? She doesn’t think so in this moment.

When she stops sobbing and looks up, she’s the last survivor of the killing game.

Prompt: 
(tw self harm) could i get a scenario/headcanons about rantaro, who doesn’t know his s/o self harms, walking in on them doing it, and they panic and start sobbing and frantically trying to get as far away as physically possible? like, they just become absolutely terrified? thank you!

…

A Quick Response: Before this begins, I’m gonna say a few words. I very much hope this was requested for genuine comfort, and not just for the sake of angst. That sounds rude but there’s no better way to phrase it. I’m just going to assume you’re going through some stuff, and I very much hope that you are able to seek medical help if you’ve had thoughts of doing this or have done something such as self harm. I’ve been there, and trust me, the best option is to let an adult know (if you’re not an adult that is) and seek help. I’m not going to romanticize this because that’s not at all healthy, so the actual writing might be relatively short. Under the cut for the sensitive topic. 

…

• When he finds you, he’s fucking terrified.
• He stands in the doorway and doesn’t make any sudden movements.
• Once he calls an ambulance, he tries to talk to you to calm you down. Won’t move towards you, but tries to convince you to set down whatever you hurt yourself with and, if possible, kick it towards him so you don’t have fast access to it.
• He stays in the doorway talking to you while the ambulance arrives.
• He visits you in the hospital the next day once you’ve received the proper physical medical attention.
• He sits with you during visiting hours and tells you that he cares for you very much, but he is a bit weary around you. He’s afraid of something as drastic as that happening again, and he tells you such because he wants to be as honest as possible.
• Overall, he’s just glad that you’re getting the help you need through the hospital, and he tries to with you throughout your recovery.
• He reminds you to take your medication when you’re released, and he makes sure to keep track of any sharp objects you could hurt yourself with for a while.
• Looking back, he’s glad he found you when he did.

Prompt: Can you please do a scenario where Shuichi has a twin sister and she’s the V3 boys (sans Shuichi) and something bad happens to Shuichi and the boys comfort her while she cries over Shuichi? (You can decide Shuichi’s fate in each scenario where he’s critically injured, in a coma, or died.)

…

Kaito

• Shuichi was on a ladder to reach a high shelf, but he fell and hit his head.
  
• He’s in the hospital and in stable condition, but he’s in a medical coma while they run scans on him.
  
• Lets be honest here, he’s as terrified and as worried as you are.
  
• That being said, you’re his twin. He’s going to comfort you as much as he can though he might need to be comforted too.
  
• Plenty of hugs and reassurances are thrown your way, and his optimism definitely helps you calm down after the initial scare.
  
• The two of you try to distract yourselves by watching movies and stargazing.
  

Rantarou

• Shuichi was in the hospital with a really bad case of pneumonia. He’s gonna be there for a few weeks, and be bedridden for a while after that.
  
• He has twelve sisters; one of them has bound to had pneumonia before. He reassures you by staying level headed and generally being a voice of reason.
  
• When he notices you crying, he pulls you in for a hug and just holds you for a while.
  
• Once you’ve tried yourself out, he reminds you that it’s better to keep looking foreword, and that your brother will be okay.
  
• He asks what you would like to do, and responds in kind. Want to watch movies? Play video games?? Go for a walk??? He’s ready to do whatever you’d like to distract you if you need.
  

Kiibo

• Shuichi calls you and begins to speak in a rushed, quiet voice. He explains that he’s being followed by two suspicious looking people, and that he’s calling you in hopes they’ll leave him alone.
  
• He tells you his location, which is about 6 blocks from your home. You and Kiibo, who had been watching movies at home, tell him you’ll meet up with him.
  
• When you two arrive, he’s found with his phone broken and some broken bones. He’s conscious, but clearly in a lot of pain.
  
• Both you and Kiibo rush over to him, and you call the cops and an ambulance while you sit next to him to comfort him.
  
• It’s kind of a miracle Kiibo didn’t shut down he was so startled, but he notices you crying and offers his hand to hold since your other hand is being squeezed by Shuichi.
  
• Kiibo tries to comfort you as much as he can when the police get statements from the three of you, and he assures you that Shuichi will be alright soon other than a few casts.
  

Kokichi

• The two of you were returning back to your home after a date. It’s raining pretty heavily, so Kokichi is gonna stay at your place for the night.
  
• When the two of you walk in, the place is trashed. Everything is knocked over, and there’s glass shards everywhere by a broken window. Most concerningly, there’s blood trailing to the kitchen.
  
• You two rush in only to find Shuichi on the floor. No visible wounds, but he’s clearly the one bleeding.
  
• You run over to him while Kokichi calls an ambulance and the police. Shuchi doesn’t respond, and you’re too afraid to do anything more than grab his hand and kneel next to him.
  
• Kokichi hugs you from behind while you wait for the authorities to arrive.
  
• Later, when Shuchi is taken to the hospital, Kokichi is too shaken to really say anything, but he knows you’re hurting more than he is, so he holds himself together
  
• He holds you for as long as you need, and is attentive to any requests you make. The way he acts during this time is such a stark contrast to his usual self, it almost gives you whiplash tbh. He goes back to minor pranks to make you laugh once you learn that Shuichi is in stable condition.
  

Ryouma

• The whole class was hanging out at the beach for the day since it was the middle of the summer.
  
• It was so hot in fact, that Shuichi had a heat stroke and had to go to the ER. He’d be fine in time, but it was terrifying to see him blackout.
  
• Needless to say, everyone is pretty nervous about what just happened, and everyone disperses for the day. Kaede asks you to give her any updates to his condition, and everyone gives you their reassurances and a lot of hugs before they leave.
  
• You and Ryouma decide to sit at the beach under an umbrella while you calm down and process what just happened.
  
• He notices that you’re quietly crying, and he asks if you’d like a hug.
  
• He lets you know that he’s confident in your brother’s condition, and that hell be okay in no time. Usually he doesn’t like to be held due to his height, but he’ll make an exception if it brings comfort to you.
  

Gonta

• Shuichi had been tracked down by a past convict he had found guilty.
  
• He was found passed out with serious stab wounds, and was subsequently rushed to the hospital.
  
• INSTANTLY TERRIFIED. HES CRYING WITH YOU.
  
• You two call the authorities, and once Shuichi is in the ER you both just break down with each other.
  
• You have to comfort him just as much as he comforts you. It actually kind of distracts you from the state your twin is in, so its not necessarily a bad thing.
  
• Once he’s calmed down a bit, he suggests going outside to sit and just talk about nothing for a while since fresh air might help, but he’s willing to do whatever makes you happy.
  

Korekiyo

• Shuichi had been punched and knocked out cold. No terrible injuries, but he is laid down on a couch for a few hours.
  
• Luckily Kirumi put a cold washcloth on his forehead and got everyone to leave you alone with him since you were, reasonably, freaked out.
  
• He’s not at all nervous until he sees you crying.
  
• He remains calm and gives you the blunt facts: your brother is breathing, with minor injury, and he’ll wake up soon.
  
• Might not be the best comfort, but he believes that hearing the truth outright is reassurance to you.
  
• He’ll sit and hug you if you request it. Need a distraction? He’s all too willing to tell you a story and pet your hair till you’re calm.
  

Prompt: NDRV3 boys realizing they’re in love with their best friend

Edit: Half of these were written by me, half were written by a past mod, so they sound kinda different partway through.

…

Ryouma:

• Oh. Oh no.
  
• His instant reaction to figuring out his feelings is fear. He’s very afraid of ruining your friendship, as he doesn’t believe he’s good enough for you. He’s also very afraid that you’ll be hurt if you date him, just as his last girlfriend was hurt.
  
• He begins to isolate himself away from you, since there’s no way he’ll willingly tell you about his feelings without intervention.
  
• You’d notice the difference in behavior and attempt to confront him. If you express worry or concern and ask what’s wrong, he’d finally tell you.
  
• He just accepts, in that moment, that whatever happens happens. If you reciprocate his feelings, he gets to be happy and in love. If you don’t reciprocate his feelings, then you’re safe and he’ll just go back to being friends with you. Though he might be a little quieter than before if you’re just friends.
  
• Then again, he appreciates having someone like you in his life, regardless of if you’re best friends or lovers.
  

Kaito:

• This lovable idiot had one of those moments where you two were hanging out, and you did one thing, one tiny little miniscule thing, and he just thinks ‘…I love them. Huh.”
  
• You’re his best friend. He trusts you so much, he probably doesn’t even hesitate in saying that to you then and there.
  
• Because honestly, what’s the worst that can happen? He’s such an optimist that he doesn’t think of any terrifying outcomes.
  
• If you love him back, wonderful!! He gets to have his best friend as the one he loves most and they feel the same way!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!
  
• If you dont, he still has you as his amazing sidekick and partner in crime! Sweet!!!!
  
• That plus he has no filter and just kinda admitted his feelings before realizing it. Whoops.
  

Gonta:

• He doesn’t really realize he’s in love with you romantically. Because yeah! He loves having you in hislife!! He appreciates everything you do for him!!! Isn’t that what friends do??
  
• He only realizes that he likes you as more than a friend when he begins to notices the smaller details he  loves about you. Your cute mannerisms, the way you speak, the way you brighten up when talking about a subject you love.
  
• He kinda realizes that he doesn’t focus so much on those things with his other friends, so he knows something is different about you.
  
• He figures it out a few days later. You hug him while youre saying goodbye to him and he just,,, tells you that he loves you.
  
• You probably take that platonically since Gonta is just generally a complete sweetheart, but he corrects you that, no, he loves loves you.
  
• He immediately gets really embarrassed about admitting that, rip Gonta.
  

Kokichi:

• Hmmmmmmmm. Interesting.
  
• He realizes it over a period of time, and you begin to notice that he tries to get your attention more and more.
  
• You were talking to literally anyone other than him???? Not anymore. He just jumped on your back and demands attention from you. It’s getting frustrating.
  
• He takes a surprisingly long time to figure out how to tell you. He honestly probably gets a lot of opinions on what to do from his D.I.C.E. members, before he finally works up the courage to tell you.
  
• He confronts you alone, and looks,,,, kinda scared?????
  
• He beats around the bush and stalls before blurting it out. He just stares at you while you form your response.
  
• If you reject his feelings, he tries to play it off as one of his lies, but he acts differently around you afterwards.
  

Korekiyo:

• He would initially assume that his sudden realization is just a spur-of-the-moment ordeal. He’d assume he was caught up in a weak place, and you kindness towards him set off a response of affection.
• He’ll ignore it for a while, but after a month or two and he’s still overanalyzing everything you say and do, he starts to think that maybe he actually does like you.
• His first thought of action was to do nothing, and just ignore it and continue staying friends, because he’d rather have your relationship be stable and not as fragile like a couple, but he starts coming up with weird ideas to start being with you more, which can either come off as very forward, or like he doesn’t care.
• His composer will always stay calm and collected, but he’ll act a lot more clingy than he use to act, following you around and making sure you’re okay and safe wherever, and I mean wherever you go.
• He himself will never confess, but when confronted he’ll gush out a monologue about his feelings.
• If he’s rejected, he’ll act normal the next day and pretend everything that happened didn’t, in hopes that things will be normal
• If he’s accepted, he just kinda stands there in awe and confusion cause he didn’t actually expect you to say you liked him too. He’s happy though

Rantarou:

• Definitely the calmest out of all of them. He kinda just goes with the flow with life, so if he catches feels for you, he’ll just straight up say it.
• For him, trust is the most valuable part of a relationship, and the main part of your relationship is trust, so naturally, he’s confident that even if you don’t like him, it’s cool! No big deal.
• However despite this, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t get flustered easily.
• He wants a good time to actually tell you, instead of just blurting it out, and between the time when he develops feelings, and when he tells you, he acts very on edge and very flustered.
• He gets the worst case of butterflies, and he can’t help it! And because you guys are friends he can’t just say no to hanging out, especially when he likes you!!
• Eventually after some thinking, and teasing from his sisters, he’ll just tell you and ask you on a date.
• If you reject him, he’ll be surprisingly sad. He’ll wander aimlessly around where you guys live and might not return for a few days, but when he comes back, he’ll say that he understands your choice, and that you’re still his best friend.
• If you accept his offer, he’ll pick you up and wing you around!! happiest boi around
• he’ll buy you gucci on the first date

Shuichi Saihara

• Shuichi is already in the checkout lane of Bath and Bodyworks and Lush buying himself literally every stress-relief themed item he can find.
• He suddenly has like 40 good luck charms on his bag, even after he showers, he still reeks of eucalyptus and spearmint oils.
• He gets a text from you?? You’re left on read. You see him in the halls??? He’s fucking RUNNING. You try to talk to him??? Sorry uh,, Ranstoner is calling
• He panics, he doesn’t process anything that’s happening. Every surviving brain cell in his head just dies on the spot, like he just doesn’t know what to do.
• He’ll immediately distance himself from you, but if you looked over at him, you’d see him staring at you with a look of both awe and seriousness. You’re just, so perfect!!!!!!
• He asks The Friends for advice, Kaito and Rantarou are NOT helpful, considering they’d just tell you on the spot, Kaede gives him good advice, but does Shuchi have the heart to carry it through? nah
• And even though he never asked, Kokichi would run and tell you for Shuichi, and Miu would totally start planning y’all’s “activities”.
• It’s incredibly obvious that he likes you, so confronting him about the issue isn’t hard… for you. For him, he’d probably just gush out a string of words saying his feelings and how he wants to do dirty things to you like hold your hand and love you unconditionally.
• if he’s rejected, he’ll apologize for the inconvenience and not speak to you for a few days. However he’ll reassure to you prior that you didn’t do anything wrong, and that he needs time to recompose himself.
• if you accept the boy, he’ll faint. Everybody is proud of Shuichi, but Shuichi is now left of “what now”. But despite his shaky demeanor, he’s a lot happier and less stressed as he was before.

Kiibo

• he knows what love is, but he’s yet to have experience it, so when his circuits start heating up too much, and he suddenly loses his train of thought, he instantly runs to Miu in fear of a bug with his programming.
• when Miu states everything’s fine, with a mocking comment about how he’s “getting way to worked up over you ;)”, he goes back like everything’s normal
• and naturally he’s like totally in love with you, but he doesn’t actually realize it?? So when his circuits get even hotter and he starts sweating and his motors start running on overdrive he goes back to Miu for another check, which she explains to him that the feelings he’s experiencing mean he’s in love with you.
• after what she said, he’d think about it for a while. Loving somebody as a friend is different than loving somebody as a partner, and he grew to feel embarrassed thinking about the fact that he loves you as a partner, he wants to be with you.
• after some thinking, he decides to go and tell you straight up, because you deserve to know.
• if he’s rejected, he’ll be pretty bummed, he’ll mope around for a day or two, but he’ll slowly learn to accept it and move on. He’ll tell you it’s okay that you don’t like him back, but he’ll still be on edge for a while
• If you accept him he’ll smile wider than ever before, and straight after ask “okay what now”. He will proudly hold your hand in public!!! He is so prideful, it’s unbelievable, but he’s a soft boy so everybody is happy for you two.
