"Big Bro Hajime!"

Little eleven-year-old Hajime looked up from his book, staring up at the one who disturbed his reading.

Komaru was standing in his doorway, smiling brightly. That smile could only mean one thing.

"Manga time?" Hajime asked, just in case as he placed a bookmark between the pages of his novel.

"Manga time," Komaru confirmed, her grin growing wider as she revealed the bag of manga from behind her back.

"What will it be this time?" Hajime inquired as he sat on his bed, already fluffing pillows and making a pile of blankets for the two of them.

"I got another volume of 'The Bomb Inside Her'!" Komaru announced with glee, pulling out said volume and showing it to Hajime, her chest puffing out with pride.

Hajime smiled back, gently taking the manga and flipping to the first page. Komaru curled up next to him, looking over his shoulder to read the words.

"'Jun-kun!'" Komaru read aloud, making her voice more 'cutesy' to match her character. "'Let's meet up this weekend, okay? I'm looking forward to seeing you again!'"

"'I'll see you then!'" Hajime replied, trying to match his voice to the character's.

"Hm, I think Jun should have a deeper voice," Komaru commented.

"So, like 'this'?" Hajime attempted to deepen his voice like Komaru asked, only to end up failing horribly.

"No, no, no! Like 'this!' 'I'll see you then, Ume-chan.'" Komaru deepened her voice, to the point that she seemed more 'twenty-five year-old man' than 'eight-year-old'.

"Shouldn't you be Jun then?" Hajime offered. "I mean, since you're so good at the voice and all..."

"No!" Komaru retorted, pouting. "Just 'cuz you're not all that good doesn't mean you shouldn't do it! How do you expect to get better if you don't even try?!"

"Fine, fine, I'll be Jun," Hajime relented. "'I'll see you then, Ume-chan.'"

"Great job, Hajime!" Komaru applauded, cheering happily.

"Ah, I guess I did okay," Hajime smiled bashfully.

"Come on! Let's keep going!"

"Yeah, yeah. I get it."

The two children kept reading, not caring about anything except the matter of who would voice who, their worlds simple enough that manga was their only concern.


I wanted cute, simple fluff for the talentswap AU.

Have a nice day/night/whatever, and I don't own the Dangan Ronpa franchise. :D
