Lets roll! Blow it Danny! (Saxophone noises)

I had fun with the chapter, now, for the sake of clearance, I am trying to update this story two times a week, and the BNHA two times too. I just had some troubles with the files in the danganronpa which made it difficult for me to write. Not going to lie. It really made me feel down when the files just died.

I believe this chapter is better than what I originally wrote, I just hope you enjoy it as much I had fun in making it.

CHAPTER 10.- Your love is like music for my soul. Let me kiss you. I approve.

"Its really you!" Kaede had calmed down but she still kept holding Makoto with fear he would fade. She was just happy of finally being in the presence of her best friend. She composed herself before fixing her hair and making sure her eyes had no more tears.

She smiled as she took the hands of Naegi guiding him to sit next to her in the piano.

"I… I been meaning to play for you in person…" She smiled as she proceeded to start playing. She let the music flow, the romancing sounds of the piano filling the air, and Makoto remember how much she said she loved playing the piano, how it was the tool she had to make others smile

It was extremely magical to be with her seeing her play, but what made him smile the most wasn't the piano. It was her face. The face of Kaede Akamatsu smiling as she played the piano. She looked happy, incredibly so. Moreover, Makoto Naegi could do nothing but smile at seeing her.

As the piano sounded, Kaede could only hope Makoto would smile, that she was making him as happy as she was just by having sitting next to her, she was right now at her best.

Her piano flowed; her fingers touched the keys with perfect precision. She was giving him a concert like no one else could play it.


Pianogirl:I love playing the piano.I am a master with it.
!"#$%&: Really? I wish I could play an instrument.
Pianogirl: Is not so hard… maybe I could teach you.
!"#$%&: Really! Would you teach me?

Pianogirl:Only if you promise me you will try your best!
!"#$%&: Of course!

Pianogirl: Then when we meet I will teach you to play!


Because no one would play the piano with as much love as she was playing it.

She was playing her soul in the piano.

The sounds kept going for long until she finished playing, she needed air, she looked at Makoto who was clapping at her. She didn't care for the clapping. What she cared was his face. He was smiling, and his eyes were full of wonder at her playing.

She didn't think it twice. There were many things she promised herself she would do if she ever got to meet him. It was time to start covering that list.

Play the piano for him. Done. Share one of her hairpins with him. In progress…

She played with her hair, looking at the smiling face of Makoto Naegi.

"Naegi… can I call you Makoto?" She was surprised at the small blush in the cheeks of Naegi as he nodded.

"Sure..." She smiled and nodded.

"Then you have to call me Kaede… we have been friends for long right?" She smiled and he smiled back at her.


Pianogirl: You are really nice you know?
!"#$%&: Thanks! But you are really nice too.
Pianogirl: Is funny, when I chat with you I always smile more.
!"#$%&: Oh, I smile too when my friends send me messages!

Pianogirl: That's because you make others happy I am sure.
!"#$%&: Just the way you do it with your piano!

Pianogirl:Ah, I hope I do…
!"#$%&:I am sure you do!

Pianogirl: Thank you…


Kaede Akamatsu was one of the persons who chatted the most with him. She would always send him audio files of her playing the piano, and they never failed to amaze him. The fact he was finally seeing her made him smile the whole time.

"I will Kaede." As he spoke her name, Kaede Akamatsu almost fainted at how happy she was.

Her dream was coming true, the friend she had made was seeing her in person. They were together. He listened to her. He finally was here…. With her….

"Say… your hair is rather long you know." She giggled as he scratched the back of his head.

"I guess is a bit long, I been told." She nodded and brought her hand to one of her pins. The pins in her hair all looked like musical notes. She motioned to him if it was okay. He nodded smiling at her. She proceeded with care to place the pin in his hair; it didn't make much of a change. But the pin was a proof of friendship to her. She wanted to share everything with him.

"It suits you." She let out a giggle as Naegi smiled at her.

"Oh really? I guess I will always use it then." Kaede smiled at him softly nodding.

"Is a cool pin… you can use it in your clothes too if you like having your hair messy." She giggled seeing his face look as if he was blushing.

He was shy it seemed. Which suited her just perfectly.

Playing the piano. Done, sharing one of her hairpins with him? Done. Admit her undying love for him? In process…..

She could be patient with that one.

"So… finally?" She smiled. She was excited. She was trying really hard to control herself and not end up tackling him to the floor and give him kisses until she couldn't anymore. She had dreamed so many times of it, sharing time with him, doing everything and nothing, just be in the presence of each other.

And it was finally happening.

"Makoto… I didn't know you were coming to school." She decided to learn more of him, but in fact, she just wanted to listen to him speak. Wanting to hear his voice, to finally experience everything she dreamed off.

"Oh I won the raffle, I am the ultimate lucky student." He smiled and she felt her heart melting. His smile was just too beautiful. It was full of warmth and hope. A smile that makes you believe everything would go well.

"I am so happy you got to win the raffle." She found herself sighing lovingly looking at him. it was so obvious that even Makoto Naegi with his dense walls of obviousness was able to feel something was going on.

"C-can I hold your hand Makoto?" She asked shyly, a blush decorating her face.

Kaede Akamatsu had thousands of scenarios in her head when she met the one she liked. That friend who had been always listening to her, filling her with optimism, and she too shared the optimism of every day with him.

She had imagined so many things she wanted to do with him, but to hold his hand always was special.

There is something special in the act of holding hands. Is a moment in which two people are sharing a bond, a special moment in which two people are actually sharing something more than what the eye can look. Is a moment in which two people are actually linking a part of themselves in the act of sharing their feelings and insecurities.

A moment in which one can soothe the other, holding hands is exposing oneself. You are exposing yourself to the chance they could hurt you, but maybe they can also share something special with you.

Kaede Akamatsu hands were pieces to work an elegant surgery in the keys of the piano. For her to expose her hands was a particularly risky act, one could even say dangerous, so the wish to link her hands with Naegi was extremely important to her.

Naegi nodded.


Pianogirl: Would you like to hold hands with someone with ugly hands?
!"#$%&: I don't believe how they look would affect my decision.
Pianogirl:Would you hold them though?
!"#$%&: Of course, if they are the hands of my friends, what does it matter how they look?

Pianogirl: So if my hands weren't as soft as other girls… would you hold mine?
!"#$%&: Of course! That way we would greet each other.

Pianogirl:it would be nice wouldn't it?


"Thank you Makoto…" She took hold of his hand and slowly linked her finger with his.

Naegi noticed her hand felt soft, he wasn't expecting the softness thinking on much she played the piano. What he didn't know was that as much as she played the piano, she guided herself with grace and elegance that made her fingers pretty much fly through the keys of the piano, never putting much force, but just the necessary for the sound she wanted to make.

Softly Kaede held the hand of Naegi and looked at him with a blush and a smile in her face.

Naegi found himself flushing at how careful was Kaede. She smiled and slowly approached him.

"You know? I honestly been hoping for this moment… of seeing you and just be next to you." She smiled as her face took tints of a heavier blush as she spoke.

"I often wondered, how would you look…how would your voice sound…if you were tall or more of my height…what color would your eyes be…what color was your hair…" She blushed the more she spoke. But she had been waiting for too long.

"I… I often wondered if you would think I was pretty…" She smiled as her face finally was fully blushing. She giggled as Naegi also blushed at her words.

"I often thought… if you were to see me… would you call me pretty? Would my hands be soft enough against your hands? Would…." The last set of words didn't come out as she closed her eyes and approached Naegi until her face was in front of his.

"Am I pretty Makoto?"


Pianogirl: Have you ever wondered, if things will go well?
!"#$%&: I believe everything will go well as long as we believe they will.
Pianogirl: I see.. I am honestly nervous. I will have a big recital… what if people don't like the way I play the piano?
!"#$%&: I doubt anyone wouldn't like you playing the piano.
Pianogirl: What if they think I am ugly?
!"#$%&: I haven't seen you… but I doubt anyone would call you ugly.
Pianogirl: If I was ugly… would you still be my friend?
!"#$%&: Of course!


"Of course you are!" Makoto Naegi simply smiled. Without knowing the importance of that phrase for Kaede.

She smiled nodding, small tears making her way in her eyes.

"Thanks…." She was really trying to keep control of her emotions, but she was just too happy.


Pianogirl:You know… you make me so happy at times, I feel like I will start crying.
!"#$%&: Ah! I am sorry!
Pianogirl: Don't be… I am happy you make me cry of happiness.
!"#$%&:Still… I don't like making anyone cry.
Pianogirl: I know…


Without warning, she started crying again. She released her hold in the hand of Naegi and just went for a hug,

"I still can't believe it… you are here… you are real!" She tightly hugged him and Naegi found himself returning the hug and soothing her by running circles in her back.

"I am… and you are too…" He was smiling thinking that it was obvious how happy she was.

Kaede breathed and relaxed in the hug, she didn't want to let go of Makoto Naegi.

She had wished for the moment for too long, but she needed to compose herself. As she breathed and relaxed she released Naegi of the hug and signaled for him to follow her.

"Can we walk together? There is something I want you to see." Naegi nodded and followed her as she took his hand again to guide him. Before they went out of the music room, she approached for a large bag and took it with her free hand.

As both students walked towards the roof of the school, Kaede chatted with Naegi of her piano recitals. Telling him how much she enjoyed playing in front of a crowd, she also told him how she had been meaning to make a private concert. Something small for the people she cared, a time full of good music and good moments for everyone to enjoy and have good memories in it.

Naegi smiled at her words, and as both walked they finally reached their destination. In the roof they sat at a familiar bench Naegi had seen last time with Junko. Kaede brought from the bag she had been carrying a musical keyboard. She smiled as she brought it out. It was white with details in black. She brought it out and fixed her hair as she relaxed looking at Naegi.

"Makoto… I want to play, but this piece is just for you… I wrote this piece for you only and only so you could hear it, I hope you like it… I call it… the ballad for an unknown love…" She blushed when she finished speaking.

When she wrote the piece, the ballad for an unknown love it was meant to be for her friend who she chatted always. Now knowing his name was Makoto Naegi she could change the name…

Naegi only nodded in surprise at hearing how she wrote a piece just for him.

She smiled and relaxed as she started playing.

The piece was based on how she felt about her friendship. And the blooming feelings that came with it.

The piece started playing slowly, a slow movement, giving the sense of insecurity, of the unknown. Not knowing what could happen in the future. Feelings that showed how she felt when she got the first message.

Then, it came to a more light sound, an enjoyable movement of how the messages kept coming… how she could find herself trusting him.

It took speed, the music bloomed in a crescent sound of happiness, how the happiness of the friendship made her excited, made her move faster, made her feel more inspired.

The hope that filled her soul, the idea of getting to see her mysterious friend. The idea of knowing him, the idea of sharing a hug with him. To do everything and nothing. To speak every day just for the sake of hearing his voice.

To laugh, cry, love, together.

The music of the keyboard flowed, all through the expert hands of Kaede Akamatsu whose soul was exposed through the music. A message laying in the piece.

A mysterious sound that flowed through the whole melody, in the same way, that her hope for friendship was flowing with something else.

A feeling of love. The need and wish to share everything in a relationship between both of them.

The music of Kaede Akamatsu spoke her wishes. A clear wish and a clear voice in it speaking, it was saying something that anyone could hear.

Watch me, watch me rise, for your friendship gives me wings, watch me rise and touch the sky. As long as you are with me, I can touch the sky, and I want to touch it with you. I want to share the sky with you…

She was playing a piece of piano to expose her feelings. A sentimental ballad to show how much he meant to her. She could speak. But the piano was the way she could really make her voice come out.

As the piece finished its happy tune with romancing sounds, Naegi face was red.

He couldn't believe someone would make something like that for him.

Kaede was out of breath by the end, she felt exhausted after playing the whole piece perfectly. It had been twenty minutes since she started playing; it took her everything to express everything she wanted to say.

Naegi was blushing as she placed the keyboard away and just looked at him.

"I…I hope you like it." She smiled.

Kaede Akamatsu had many insecurities, usually, she could wave them away, but it never hurt her to have the messages of Naegi helping her, to make feel better, safe and confident.

Now using everything he had given her, she played a piece that would never be the same for anyone else. For it had been made with Makoto Naegi in mind.

Makoto Naegi, found himself smiling and clapping at her. Kaede stood up and made a small vow as if she had played a concert in front of a crowd. Which wouldn't be wrong. She had played twenty minutes dedicated to her feelings for Makoto Naegi. How wonderful she felt thanks to him.

She made a curtsy too at an invisible crowd.

"Thank you, thank you, everyone." She found herself giggling as Naegi smiled. She took to walk in front of him and take his hands into hers.

She was nervous of asking the next question.

"Would…. Would it be…." There was something she wanted.

Something every girl who knew Naegi wanted. Some had obtained it. And she wanted it too.

"Would it be… improper… if I were to kiss you?" She blushed and looked away as Makoto Naegi face exploded in red as he was blushing at her question.

"I…I….d-do you?" She nodded excitedly, her emotions beating her shyness.

"I would love to do it… but only… only if you don't mind…" She smiled shyly and Naegi found himself lost in thought.

He had no way of knowing, nor Kaede, but all the people who were part of the sleepover were watching them through a peek in the door. They were looking for Naegi, and when they heard the sounds of the keyboard, they all follow it.

And now they were looking the scene.

Junko was especially hoping to interrupt the moment, but a view of Mukuro told her not do that. The underlying message being.

If it was you in there. You wouldn't want anyone interrupting the moment.

She found herself nodding.

Everyone just looked expectant at the scene.

Still. After a moment Naegi found himself nodding shyly at Kaede request.

She had done nothing but being kind, she had taken the risk of exposing her feelings. She chose to show him how much he meant to her. That their friendship through the message was special for her. So much that she wrote a piece for him. One that lasted long, and showed the beauty of the piano.

As he nodded Kaede smiled. She smiled brightly and the sun in the sky couldn't rival with how much her smile was shining as she saw Naegi nodding.

She cupped his face softly in her hands. She approached and lovingly kissed his cheeks. One kiss in the left, then in the right, and finally his forehead.

She was smiling brightly as she looked at Naegi.

"Thank you Makoto….I love you…" She smiled as she walked away.

Maybe she shouldn't have said that... But she did. They had three years of classes to share a lot of moments. But for now, she had more than made clear how she felt. And that she would be coming back for more.

She walked away carrying the keyboard. She felt that if she stayed in the presence of Makoto she would faint or even take him in the roof…. She really needed to relax.

"I will see you soon Makoto…."

As she walked away Naegi was still stunned.

"See you soon Kaede." He heard the giggle of the girl as she left.

In the roof door, everyone who saw the scene rushed away. Gonta grabbed Kokichi and the girls and jumped away in the set of stairs. Chisa, Junko, Mukuro and Chihiro all ran away too. Sonia and Gundham calmly walked away.

They all had seen what happened. But someone else saw it from the corner of the roof, having been able to hide away and just now appear to pick Naegi.

"Master?" Naegi looked at the direction of the voice and saw the ultimate maid. She was smiling.

"Kirumi?" She nodded hugging him tightly.

"Kirumi?!" He was confused at the sudden hug.

"Ah master, finally you found a mistress I can actually approve of." She smiled hugging him and taking hold of his hand as they walked away to explore more of the school.

The free days were ending. Soon classes would start, and Makoto Naegi would be meeting the rest of the people in the school. He would lie if he said he wasn't excited for it.

He loved the rest, but he was more than excited to see everyone.

Many people who were on their way to arrive at the school were excited too. New stories would be written in the walls of Hope Peak Academy.

A certain idol who was taking a drive in a bus together with a girl playing games was particularly excited, she liked the idea of Hope Peak. A convoy was taking a boy whose luck was crazy in order to assure he arrived. Many people were going to arrive.

Soon things in Hope Peak Academy wouldn't be the same. They would be better.
