Work Text:
The second I wake up, it seems different. Hajime didn't wake me up. He usually does, he thinks he's quieter then he is, unlike what he believes its enough to wake me up. So how didn't he wake me up? Oh well, I'm up now. I slowly get up from the giant pillows we call mattresses and onto the floor. I quickly get ready for the day, slip on my clothes and jacket, brushing my teeth, attempt to brush my cloud like hair and then the other necessities. Until I'm finally ready to go outside. Maybe I'll help water the plants today. That's my favorite job, I'm still just as weak as before, but I'm not sick. Hajime is to thank for that. I really do need him, but I'm so undeserving of him and the others, they are all so wonderful, and most of them are kind. Either way they mean well. I should probably get some food though first, I am only waking up, so maybe it'll make Hajime happy. Once I get to the dining hall. It is surprisingly empty, so that means I'll have to cook for myself, while Hajime isn't here to cancel out my luck. So the toaster might explode when I make my bagels. I make my bagels, topped with cream cheese and raspberries. Before going to sit down to eat it, I grab a can of blue ram from the recently restocked fridge of the kitchen. I quickly eat, then walk outside to help with whatever I can. The lack of people I can see is worrying, my lively classmates and Hajime are usually out doing things by now, or at least eating. Maybe they just wanted to have a beach day without the wet blanket being I am, or maybe they're busy with the chores I was supposed to do today while I slept in like the selfish being I truly am. A tear slowly slides down my cheeks, the warm sun beating against my face. The bright light making me blink away the tears building up. Such selfishness to cry over your lack of self worth and frustration because of not being able to help. I look down at my prosthetic, one of the only reminders that I have someone who cares, or at least pretends to. Its tragic someone so hopeful and lovely would settle with trash like myself. I've been out for a while and I have seen not one person here. I guess maybe they all left. Maybe Future Foundation finally cleared things up for the rest of them. I look around looking for the slightest trace that a living being is anywhere near here. Until I finally think to check the beach like how I originally thought they might be there. And they were. I saw all of them, they seemed to be celebrating something, they didn't invite me, thats understandable, I always only make things worst. I am basically the definition of Murphy's law "Everything that could go wrong, will go wrong". Although I can't say I'm not disappointed, but as long as they have fun, I'll be alright. Though that does mean I'll have to do everyone's chores. Like check our stock on things in the shop, put the books everyone returned back, check the rolls of film, water the plants, write our letters to Naegi, make sure the Warriors of Hope study on things like math for when things go back to normal. The works. Wait cross that last one out, they are at the beach too. I get up and walk away hoping I wasn't spotted and that nothing at their small party was different at all. Hope huh, the one thing I love more than anything, yet I am such a hopeless being. It just makes me wonder if they forgot about me. Well, if Hajime doesn't like me anyways, I'll move out of our shared cabin and into the old hotel, it was completely renovated and is now livable. It brings back memories of the time I was tied up. Hajime didn't like me then, he probably doesn't like me now. The fact I ever thought they would ever start to want to be around me, I am such an idiot. I actually thought... I should start packing. I walk to Hajime's cabin to grab my stuff. My bags slowly being packed through my tears. The jackets of mine that Hajime looked so cute in, the over sized t-shirts I wear because I wanted Hajime to be able to wear them to bed. The gifts he gave me, until he walked in. Smile on his face, until he noticed me, packing my bags and crying. His smile of happiness that looks oh so cute on his face soon turned into a worried frown. "Nagito what are you doing? Why are you packing?" "I just figured because of how happy you seem without me, I should move to the hotel so I don't worry you anymore. I know it must be tough to live with me..." "Oh, Nagito" Hajime says while moving to hug me, looking at me with his big eyes with a few tears falling. "Hajime please don't cry, I'm moving out for you!" "But I don't want you too! I love you more than you will ever know! Wait, what do you mean "how happy you seem without me"?" "I saw you guys down at the beach and I just thought you might prefer to be without me..." Hajime just looks at me with a small smile and wipes away his tears. Followed by me wiping away my own. "Just come with me" He says dragging me by the hand Once we get there I see the beach, the place where they were all having fun without me. Saionji just looks at us and says "Finally Hinata, you're finally back with him." Koizumi quickly shuts her up with a quick "Don't be rude Hiyoko, it's a special occasion!" "Sorry Mahiru..." "It's not me you should be apologizing to, its Hinata and Komaeda you should be apologizing to." I shyly speak up, "She doesn't need to apologize to me, and Hajime, why did you bring me hear anyways." "Did you forget Komaeda?" Naegi says shyly "It's your birthday, this party is for you." A look of shock flashes onto most faces in front of me. "But... why... why would such amazing people like you all do this for me" "Because you're our classmate, you were always special but you didn't mean any harm. You always tried. Nobody could be Komaeda better than you" Nevermind says with a smile. "We all pitched in a little" Kuzuryu informs me, face neutral "Well thank you all, but why did you guys make it a bigger deal than it is?" "It is a big deal Komaeda." Hajime says with a smile. "Guess I'm not moving out anymore." "You better not after I invited everyone down here and set up roles to everyone here and helped plan for over a month!" Hajime replies teasingly. I never had more fun at a party in my life. As cheesy as it may be, it was a ton of fun.
