ishimondo fandom, here is an extremely self indulgent AU idea that I know in my heart will never get written, so I’m relegating it to a tumblr post
Starts at the end of trial 2, right before mondo is dragged away
takas entire world is crashing down, but the only thing he can think is that mondo can’t die like this, in one of monokumas cruel traps, scared and alone
so without thinking, taka cries out.- let me do it
now monokuma hears this, and he’s intrigued. It would certainly be the better option for mondo, but he’s dead anyway. And taka… it would cause him so much despair! Watching his boytoy die in his arms? Talk about drama! And actually killing him? Monokuma was already excited
fine, Monokuma says with barely contained glee, and hands taka a knife. taka gulps as he sees his reflection in the blade
mondo is shaking
you don’t have to do this bro, he manages to choke out
it’s ok taka says, suddenly very, very calm
they hug, and for a minute, it’s just them
“im sorry” mondo whispers
“It’s ok” says taka, face buried in his shoulder, still clutching the knife. “I love you”
Mondo starts to cry, smudging his eyeliner “i love you too”
taka kisses mondo, thinks, I’m so so sorry, then plunges the knife into mondos heart
mondo feels takas lips on his for the last time, then nothing at all
