Day 2?
It took a bit of time to work up the courage, but I'm going to do it, now or never, "Ok, I have a plan to keep us all awake," a few heads turned tiredly to me, "Me and Danny spent a few hours doing this, and it worked for me, but I don't know about him."
"What about me?" Danny's head perked up at his name.
"You remember yesterday, we were trapped in the storage room so we had to find ways to past the time," I explained, Danny squinted then slowly nodded in understanding.
"So like last time, I say that we distract ourselves to stay awake!" I think the lack of sleep was getting to me, because I felt like running in circles in excitement.
"You know I think that idea sounds pretty good, especially since you're not saying it in your bored tone," Kenta said, his face still planted on the table.
"Bored tone?" Do I sound uninteresting to them? "Anyways, my idea is that we busy ourselves with arts and crafts," not meaning to, I accidentally slam the box on the table, sending several people shooting to attention.
"Well, I thought that maybe we could draw or paint to keep us busy, and to not fall asleep," my voice tampered out when I realized no one was listening, though some were trying to.
"Well Sanyu, I guess your idea wasn't so good after all," Kenta said smiling, his words felt like a punch in the gut. I sat down next to Danny sighing, for a bit I stayed lying on the table until I felt something cold get placed next to me, looking up I see Akira holding a shake in front of me.
"We found some ice cream in the freezer, so Yukihiro is making milkshakes," Akira said, I reached for the drink in front of me only to have Akira pull it away, "this one is mine, you need to get your own, go socialize," she said, all but kicking me out of my chair. I reluctantly listen and went into the kitchen where everyone was bustling about.
"Brain freeze!" Haruna yelled, stopping what looked like a milkshake drinking contest with James. Yukihiro let out a laugh, then continued making a shake, once finished she called me over.
"How are you doing?" She asked, handing me the drink, "Sorry your plan didn't work out," she consoled. I didn't really care about it anymore but it was nice to hear, "have you seen Yuzuru-sama anywhere? He hasn't gotten a drink yet," she said pushing another cup on me, "you should go talk to him."
"Huh? Why me?" But my complaints were stopped before they started by a hard stare from Yukihiro, "Fine, but I don't even know where he is."
"He's in the back of the cafeteria, far away from everyone," she chirped, pushing me out and pointing to him. Reluctant I go to him looking back every now and then, pleading with her not to make me deal with him and his mood swings. Yukihiro only gave a thumbs up and went back into the kitchen.
"Hey Yuzuru, you doing ok?" I asked awkwardly, but received no response, "I can understand if you don't want to talk to me, but here's this shake thing," still no response. Jeez, does he not like me or something? I push his shoulder, and got a snore, never before had a snore of all things, sent a chill up my spine. I look around eyes wide for any monokuma teachers, thankfully there were none. Quickly I shook Yuzuru awake, this made him quite angry.
"I'm trying to sleep here," he said with venom.
"You can't! You'll get killed!" I reasoned to no help. What's with this guy, does he just not care?
"So what! What does it matter?" he shouted running off and out the door, I stood there for a bit hesitant on following, but I soon decided to just let him be, or would have if Grant didn't walk out.
"I heard shouting?" He asked worried.
"Yeah Yuzuru was sleeping and just took off when I woke him," I explained, this seemed to worry Grant more.
"Then we need to find him! If left alone he could try and sleep again!" Grant ran after Yuzuru, but not before making me come with him. It took forever to find Yuzuru, we had to check every door in case he had gotten himself locked in. But ultimately we found him in the restrooms, next to the stupid little fish tank in the wall.
I wasn't sure what to say, until I noticed I was still carrying Yuzuru's milkshake, might as well gift it to him, "Yuzuru you want your shake," Grant stared at me in a disapproving way.
"Yeah," Yuzuru mumbled, I looked at Grant smugly, "now fuck off!" He shouted the second the drink was in his grip.
"Yuzuru come back with us," Grant said nicely, Yuzuru's reply was not so nice.
"Just leave him, it's obvious he wants to be alone," I said, Yuzuru agreeing.
"I'm sorry but I can't do that!" Grant struck a commanding pose, "it's my duty as leader to watch out for everyone!"
"Watch out for my fist more like it," Yuzuru grumbled. This conversation was going nowhere, but still Grant pressed on.
"If you won't come back with us, then we'll just stay here with you," Grant proclaimed.
"No," There was no way I going to stay in a closed off room with the hyperactive Afghan Hound look alike, and the emo 5 year old.
"No 'buts' about it!" He shouted, sitting down next to a shocked Yuzuru. Grant focused his attention on Yuzuru, giving me the chance to escape, I quickly ran out back to the cafeteria and into the kitchen.
"Oh, Sanyu-sama," Yukihiro greeted from her position of sitting on the floor, I stopped and took in the sight. Everyone was laying on the ground covered in a red substance, reminiscent of a horror movies bloody climax.
"What happened?" I asked bewildered, what the hell did I miss?
"Too many milkshakes, to many brain freezes," Danny said. I turn to the only three still standing untouched for the explanation.
"Yukihiro made too many milkshakes, and Haruna managed to convince a lot of us into a contest," Yoshiki replied.
"Us?" I questioned, "Did you participate too?"
Yoshiki let out a laugh, "What do you take me for?" he took a ship of his milkshake, "Of course I did, but it was M who won."
"A trained assassin knows moderation," M said sagaciously, "knows tricks to disarm without suspicion."
"What about that red stuff everywhere?" I asked as I lift up my shoes to reveal the disgusting sticky mess I stepped in.
"That is the strawberry syrup," Veliah stated.
"It looks like a bottle just burst or something," I observed, looking at the bodies on the floor.
"I think it was Alan who did it," Veliah said, "one of us wanted a strawberry shake but couldn't open the bottle, so they got Alan to open it, but it wouldn't budge."
"Yeah, but someone else had the idea of nuking it," I turn to see a strawberry mess of a man rising, "it exploded in the microwave," a swipe of the hand revealed the face of Alan.
"But if it exploded in the microwave then why is it all over the kitchen?" I asked Alan and the others, eyeing the strangely crystal clean microwave, but they were cut off by the door opening and Kenta answering for them.
"That was the first one," Kenta said, "we cleaned up the mess, then I went to get washed off, so I wasn't present for the second bomb apparently."
"The second one wasn't our fault," I jumped at the sudden revival of Kojiro... wait is everyone just laying wide awake on the floor waiting for their queue or something? "it was those Mono-teachers, they gave us a new bottle that secretly had holes punched in it," Kojiro cursed, I could hear him spit a string of cusses at the end. When the door opened again to reveal Akira, holding a mop and wash cloth.
"I got the cleaning supplies," she said, beginning to distribute the items. After that we were all working to clean the walls and floor, I shuddered as my hand stuck to a warm sticky patch, I should have just stayed with Yuzuru and Grant.
After the whole mess was cleaned up, ourselves included (thank god the baths were open) I sat down next to Danny, "Have you seen Yuzuru and Grant?" I asked.
"Yeah. They are right there," Danny gestured. Oh. They were sitting across from us.
"You're getting pretty tired aren't you?" Grant worried, "What should we do?"
"We could do what Sanyu suggested and make stuff," Yuzuru replied, I was a little surprised at the suggestion, but I was ready too. I pulled the box out from under the table, setting the supplies out, "How long were you waiting to do that?"
"Can I join you," Kojiro says alerting us to his presence and sparkling eyes.
"Yeah sure," I said, offering him a seat. Soon others followed making items for themselves or just making garbage.
"Sanyu, what do you think?" My attention pulled to Danny's work. It was four beaded necklaces, one was a simple black and white. Another one with silver, navy blue, and black beads, And the next necklace a forest green with feathers tied in. The last a black and green thread twisted together to hold a plane charm.
"That's pretty cool," I said, "but why do you need four necklaces?"
"Sanyu these aren't for me," Danny said, "they are for the girls."
"Then go for it," I cheered, but Danny froze up, "what's wrong?"
"What if they hate it?" He said quickly.
"I'll go with you," I said, my presence must have given Danny some courage, because he walked right up to Haruna.
"Haruna, I made this for you," he said presenting the navy blue, black, silver necklace.
"Thank you!" Haruna said, taking the necklace from him, "but I don't wear jewelry, so no thank you," smiling she gave the necklace back. Ouch, I shot him a thumbs up to him in encouragement. Danny flashed me a look and then went to Yukihiro.
"Hey Yukihiro, I made this for you, I thought it might go with your outfit," he said, offering it her.
Yukihiro clapped her hands together with a smile on her face, "Thank you Danny! It does fit nicely with the rest," Yukihiro stood up reaching for it when suddenly her foot slipped making her hand come down lighting fast, effectively snapping the necklace in half sending the beads flying along with her. "S-sorry!" Yukihiro shouted, beginning a speech-like apology. It took a some consoling and promising that Danny will make another for her before Yukihiro stopped. I felt like stopping Danny from giving the rest their necklaces, considering the streak so far, but he looked determined.
Next he went to Veliah, her piercing gaze not stopping him, "hey Veliah, I thought the feathers looked pretty cool, and thought this would be perfect for you," he said tentatively. Veliah took it from him without a word and put it on without acknowledgement. Danny turned to look at me, I shrugged, he then slowly left going to Akira last.
"I know what you're about to give me," Akira said quickly, focusing on her project, "thank you," she took the necklace from Danny and pocketed it. After that Danny came back at sat down again.
"I guess that didn't go as planned," Kenta chuckled, leaning over to us, "no luck with the ladies."
"Ah it's fine, if they don't like me, then they don't like me," Danny shrugged off Kenta's words, "I don't want to force them into liking me," Danny turned to me holding Haruna's necklace "Anyways here you can have this."
"Thanks," I said, I wasn't much of a necklace kind of guy, so I figured it would be fine to just wrap it into a bracelet. My new fashion statement got Yuzuru's attention, he stood next to me looking like he wanted to say something, "is something wrong Yuzuru?"
With a quick glance to Grant, Yuzuru held his fist out, "Here," he said placing a bracelet in my hand. It was blue and red yarn braided together. I must be pretty popular today, getting all these gifts. "It's not like I wanted to give you this, Grant just made me!" Yuzuru seemed to have gotten agitated at my lack of response.
"Well I like it, I'll wear it," I said putting it on, that seemed to pacify his outburst.
"D-dumbass!" Yuzuru stomped off back to his spot with Grant, who then got the brunt of Yuzuru's anger. What a weird guy. I went back to my project, working into the night, or day- whatever time it really is.
