I knew something was wrong Jyugo ever since he tried escaping and attacked Hajime. I wanted to know why but I knew he'd tell me. That had yet to happen and just watching him pained me. He was my best friend and it hurts when he doesn't come to me for help. The fact that he tried to leave and said that, it made me question if I knew Jyugo as well as I thought. Something was up and if Jyugo wasn't going to tell me, I was going to have to find out myself.

I was staring at Jyugo, trying to figure something out. The dual colored eyed boy was talking Tsukumo. He seemed to be fine, but I knew something was up with the younger male. When he attempted escape, something was up, something was driving him. He seemed to be so motivated to get out and I have no idea why or what drove him. It seemed that I didn't know him as well as I thought. What made it worse was the fact that he kept isolating himself when he could and it really bothered me since he would never do that—would he?

I could always hear his nightmares, his responses in his sleep. I've barely see any type of fear, granted I rarely see any type of emotion, on his face, in his eyes. It's like the guy is just blank. It was sort of frustrating that I couldn't read him, but I'm able to at least guess and get some things right about him. When I got the chance to speak to him, something always got in the way or he'd play dumb, which he sort of was but I'm not going into that just yet.

"Hey Jyugo," I called and grabbed his arm before dragging him out. I noticed the slight confused expression but I didn't care. I pulled him away from everyone but didn't leave the room. Hajime's glare was enough to warn me. "Dude, what's wrong?"

He tilted his head with that odd look on his face, one that he used all the time, the one I could never read well. I wanted to slap him. "What do you mean? Nothing's wrong."

I glared at him and motioned for Hajime to come over. "What?" he asked, glaring at us. I told him to escort us back to our cell since I wanted to talk to Jyugo alone and with no one else to bother us. Hajime rolled his eyes and led us out, saying, "Don't escape, I'm gonna be outside."

I shrugged, not seeing a problem. If Jyugo decided to escape from talking to him, Hajime would stop him. I was going to need all the help I could get, and if the gorilla was there, that would be enough. We walked into the cell, Jyugo just crossed his arms and leaned against the door. He wasn't talking, but I knew that it just meant it was more important. His gaze was nowhere near mine as I waited for him to answer. "Jyugo, please, tell me. I know there's something wrong. I know that you're having nightmares, you cry out in your sleep and it worries all of us."

Jyugo shook his head, staring at his feet. "I don't want to talk about it," he murmured, it was quiet but I could still hear him. "I...I just don't want you all to be hurt. I'm the reason that you get hurt."

I stared at him in confusion but I guessed it was what had happened at the New Years Tournament. What else could he have been talking about? I placed a hand on his shoulder and noticed him tense up slightly. "Jyugo," I started, trying to get every word into my mind. "You're not gonna hurt us. I promise, I know you would never do that." His eyes held disbelief as if he couldn't believe I thought this. He would never hurt us, he accidentally did. A cut to the cheek was nothing compared to what I know he can do. I hugged him and gave him a grin as I said, "Plus, I know I'm too good looking for you to even try anything."

A slight huff of laughter came from him, but it was all I needed to know that he was having second thoughts about his negativity. "Th-thanks Uno," he said. "And just so you know, you're not as handsome as you think."

I yelled at him but he left the cell and was being taken back to the game room by Hajime. "Come back here!" He ran off to our destination with me at his heels. I could practically feel the gorilla's annoyance as he came after us. Maybe Nanaba Prison was good for us to get to know each other better.

So how was it that? Bad? Good? Needed something more? Tell me in the comments and I'll do what I can to fix it.

I apologize for the long wait, and yeah. Don't kill me please. It's short, I know but I may come back later to rewrite it. I think I may be doing that with the other one-shots but that'll be later on in life so yeah.

Requests, anyone? Thank you and have a good night/day.
