So, the responses have been narrowed down to three: Gambling AU, Mythical AU, and Demon AU.

Here are some excerpts to help you choose one that you would like me to write about first:

Gambling Au- Jabberwock of Spades

"Hello," he started in a melodic voice. "Would you like to play a game of Blackjack?"

Hajime's breath hitched, not in fear, but in awe. The dealer was a young man in his early twenties, around the same age as Hajime. His hair was an odd color of white, and his skin was as pale as a drowned victim, which honestly spooked the brunet. He had half-lidded eyes, which covered the tops of his piercing jade green orbs.

The male was wearing a white tuxedo accompanied with a bowtie of the same color, and polished white shoes. On top of his head sat a lovely hat, not too big and not too small, which was wrapped with a red ribbon right above the rim.

In his white-gloved hands lay a deck of cards, which he was shuffling subconsciously.

Simply to say, he was stunning, like no one Hajime had ever seen before in his life. He shook his head. No, he can't get wrapped up in another gambling game again.

"No, thank you," he said, starting to turn away from the captivating albino.

"How about for fun? No bets, no nothing that includes money?" The white-haired dealer spoke in his enchanting voice.

"I-I'm sorry but-"

"Just one game?"

Hajime sighed in defeat.

"Alright."

Demon AU- Demonic Heart

Wads of paper balls and trash were thrown at the brunet when he walked through the hallways to the library. Hushed voices mocked him behind his back, laughing at how he was the only one who didn't have a guardian angel. An outcast. A loner.

Someone rudely shoved him to the ground, his papers scattering all across the marble floors. Several snickers erupted from behind him.

Standing up on wobbly knees, the high school student collected his items without a fuss and continued along his way, his mouth closed the entire time.

The only refuge he had from all these bullies was the library. The main campus's library was a quiet place and little to no people that visited there often, leaving him to take most of the books.

"Hello, Hajime." The librarian, Chisa Yukizome cheerfully waved to him.

Hajime waved back, a slight smile flitting across his lips. His grin faltered when the librarian's guardian angel, Munakata, narrowed his eyes at the boy.

Hajime's eyes fell to the floor as he quickly shuffled away.

Disappearing behind a cluster of bookshelves, Hajime busied himself with finding the genres he wanted to read for the day.

His olive eyes landed on a specific book with unknown symbols carved onto the cover.

Curiosity getting the best of him, the brunet opened the book. Mysterious symbols lined the old pages, and at the very bottom was a phrase in Latin, something he could actually read.

His lips moved in sync with his eyes as they devoured the words.

Once he was finished, a small tinge coursed through his body, and a feeling of sudden dread overwhelmed him.

Hajime snapped the book shut, shoving it back onto the shelf.

What was that funny feeling just now?

Mythical AU- Kismetic Karma

"So, what do you do around here?" The brunet asked the pale boy.

The albino tapped his chin thoughtfully, then smiled at the male.

"Nothing much. I usually just walk around, and you know do my own thing."

"Do you need a home?"

The skinny boy laughed, a light, airy chuckle that send shivers of warmth down the spiky-haired boy's spine.

"There's not really a place I can call home..." He paused. "But I can show you where I live for the time being."

"Uh- Uhm- That's alright. You don't have to.." The shorter male scratched the back of his head.

His mother had always drilled him about politeness and manners, and how you shouldn't barge into someone's house when unnecessary.

"It's fine, really. Come on!" The white-haired boy took the tan male by the wrist and gently tugged him along.

They ran through bushes and past trees before arriving at a small cave.

"Close your eyes." The albino instructed.

The brunet felt himself being led into darkness, the tender warmth of the sun now gone.

"Open."

His olive eyes widened in awe when his eyelids fluttered open.

Inside the cave was hundreds of thousands of crystals, varying in shapes and sizes.

Swiftly, the mysterious boy plucked a crystal from the walls of the cave and handed it to the brunet.

"Here! Take it. It's my present to you." He flashed a grin.

The crystal felt oddly warm in his hands, like a faint heartbeat. It felt... comforting. The brown-haired boy clutched the piece of rock to his chest, determined never to lose it.

"I call them Hope fragments." The pale boy explained. "Do you like it?"

"Yes." The tan boy breathed. "I like it very much. Thank you."

Please choose one of the following! Thank you!

What Hajime hated more than life itself was probably people wasting his time. As Nagito had said before, their time was limited, and they had to make it back to the Afterlife at six. Then why were they still wasting their time loitering in the streets?

To make matters worse, Arielle and Tina hard started shipping him. His hands itched to pound something into dust.

"Admit it, he looks better without glasses on, right?" Arielle wiggled her eyebrows.

"Well... I guess. I mean I've told him to take it off, but then he just put it back on again." He mumbled. He never did like sharing his opinions. It was a pain.

Nagito cleared his throat, gaining the attention of the three people.

"Let's hurry up. We've got to travel half an hour." He started walking through people, and Tina and Arielle followed suit.

Hajime sighed in exasperation, shoving his hands in his pockets before he followed the rest of his companions.

There were more and more people as they proceeded further into the city, and the number of cars increased.

Hajime had been to Tokyo before, to manage some affairs. But he had never actually taken the pleasure of traveling through the majestic city. Skyscrapers reached into the blue of the skies disappearing into low clouds. Street lights flashed bright red, yellow and green. People descended into subway stations and there were bikes everywhere.

Nagito was leading the way, his face unfazed as he weaved through the crowds. Tina and Arielle were blabbering about anime and manga, whatever that was.

Hajime was at the end of the group, his demeanor nothing but of boredom. Sure, the city was intriguing, but he never signed up to babysit two fourteen-year-olds who wanted chicken nuggets as their last wish. Heck, he didn't sign up for any of this.

Eventually, to much of his relief, they finally found the convenience store.

"Whoaaaaa~" Tina and Arielle gasped in awe. In front of them were neatly packed chicken nuggets, coming with dips and even wasabi.

The two girls each took one pack and scurried out of the store. They sat down next to the doors, their legs stretched out as they opened their meals, content with what they had.

Tina plopped a nugget into her mouth, and her eyes instantly sparkled with delight.

"This is actually really good! Arielle, did you eat one yet?" She turned to look at the girl. "Arielle? Hello?"

The girl with the ponytail was frozen, the piece of chicken hovering before her mouth.  Her eyes were wide, and they were glued to something across the street.

"Arielle? You okay?" Tina shook the girl's shoulder to snap her out of her daydream.

"They- They- I-" She was speechless. She pointed a shaky finger at a couple across the street, who was sitting at a café.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Tina asked again.

Hajime glanced across the street, curious at what made Arielle become paralyzed in shock.

Sitting at a pristine white table was a short purple-haired male and a blue-green haired man who had a cap on.

"It's- It's- Oumasai!" She cried, her food now forgotten. "I was right! I was right!"

"Right about what?" Nagito asked, looking at the couple.

"It's Shuichi Saihara and Kokichi Ouma! They're dating!"

Hajime choked, coughing profusely.

THE Kokichi Ouma with Shuichi Saihara? Hajime found it hard to believe. He didn't buy the information that Arielle gave the first time, but now having seen the evidence, there was no denying it.

The Supreme crime lord of Japan was dating the famous detective. What a plot twist.

"I can now die in peace." Arielle flopped onto her back dramatically while plopping a chicken nugget into her mouth. "They're so cute." She mumbled.

"You want a nugget?" Tina asked Hajime, extending own to him.

"No."

"How about you?" She offered Komaeda the same nugget.

"No, thanks. I need to check on something, so I'll be right back." The albino pivoted on his heel and walked to the back of the convenience store.

"Arielle!" Tina whispered rather loudly.

"What?" Arielle replied, dazed.

"Let's trick Komaeda." She grinned maliciously.

Oh, dear.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Arielle smiled slyly.

"Hot sauce." Tina chuckled darkly.

"Hajime, come execute the plan with us!" Arielle rubbed her palms together.

"No. I don't do such ridiculous things." He huffed.

"But it's revenge, isn't it? From observing you guys, you seem to hate him for some reason, and he ignores you. So why not take this opportunity and avenge yourself?" Tina coaxed.

Conflicting feelings bubbled within Hajime as he thought over the offer. It was true that he wanted to get back at Nagito, but at the same time, it wouldn't be so nice to a person who had saved his life twice.

"Sure." He found himself saying.

"Yes! Now, all we have to do is dig a hole inside the chicken and fill it with sauce."

Using a plastic knife, the girl dug a crater inside the piece of food while Arielle poured in a packet of Tabasco sauce.

"Your job is to persuade him to eat it. Can you do that?" Tina instructed.

"Yeah."

A voice cut through their conversation, startling the three.

"Uh... Are you guys okay? Why are you smiling like that?" Nagito tugged on his hoodie, suddenly uncomfortable with the atmosphere. "What did I miss?"

"Oh, nothing." Tina lied smoothly. "We just saw a seagull fly into a trash can."

"Yeah. And it did it TWICE." Arielle added on.

Hajime cleared his throat.

"Uh, yeah. It was quite a sight."

"Okay...?" Nagito raised an eyebrow. "Are you guys ready to go yet?"

"No, just a little bit more time. Hajime has something to tell you. Right, Hajime?" Arielle faked a cough.

"Huh, what? Oh, yeah. You should try one of these chicken nuggets. They actually taste good." He plopped one piece into his mouth to show him.

"Come on, take one." He handed the Tabasco sauce filled nugget to Nagito.

Hesitantly, the Grim Reaper took the food and ate it. A rush of hysteria bubbled inside Hajime as Nagito's face turned beet red.

Tina and Arielle started laughing insanely, clutching their stomachs when Nagito rushed inside the store to grab a bottle of cold water.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" The messenger of death yelled between gulps of water. His face was entirely red, and he was licking his lips every second to get rid of the spicy feeling coating them. It almost made Hajime want to finish the job for him.

Wait...

What?

He discarded the embarrassing and random thought when he felt himself laughing along, unable to keep it back. It was a funny feeling, laughing. He hadn't done it in a long time. Seven years at most.

His chest heaved as he noticed Arielle, Nagito, and Tina staring at him with bewildering eyes, their jaws agape.

"What?" His face hardened again.

"We've never heard you laugh," Tina said.

"I laugh all the time."

"No, you don't." Nagito countered, downing another mouthful of ice water. "That's a nice change for once."

Hajime averted his gaze from Nagito, his face turning warm.

"Oh! Hehehehe~" Arielle laughed again. "If we can make Hajimeme laugh, then we can make him blush again, right?" She prodded Tina with her elbow.

"What? Sure? Whatever you say." Tina replied absentmindedly.

"Okay. Hajime, you stay here. Tina, follow me." The agent grabbed Nagito by the wrist and tugged him along with Tina at her heels.

What the hell were they planning this time?

~

What seemed like eleven thousand thirty-seven years later, Arielle came back, a sly grin plastered on her face.

Hajime had almost fallen asleep waiting for them to return.

"What did you do." He growled.

"This." With a wave of her arms, Tina and Nagito appeared behind her.

Except... Nagito wasn't Nagito anymore. Instead of his usual gloomy jacket and hood, he now wore a green coat with red drawstrings and squares near the right chest. His hoodie was off, exposing the fluffy locks of hair. He looked so different, it stunned Hajime.

"Ta-dah! What do you think? Striking, isn't he?" Arielle snickered.

"Where'd you get the coat?" Hajime inquired, ignoring her question.

"Oh, I have my ways."

"She stole it from a store." Tina rolled her eyes.

"Hey, it isn't called stealing if you're already dead."

"You nearly gave that old woman a heart attack when you magically lifted the coat with your invisibility."

"Shshshsh! No one needs to know about that..."

Nagito was shuffling his feet, staring at the ground. Arielle was right. He was better looking when he wasn't all introverted and edgy. Hajime had to admit that. Nagito almost looked beautiful if it weren't for the fact that his skin tone was pale as a sheet of clear snow.

"HAJIME'S BLUSHING!" Arielle yelled, throwing her hands up in the air.

Was he? Hajime touched his face, and to much of his dismay, it was growing hotter by the second.

He turned his head away quickly, concealing the forming layers of red.

"GAY!" Arielle shouted at the flustered brunet, teasing him even more.

"NO, I'M NOT!"

"It's okay to be gay." Arielle bobbed her head. "Embrace your gay thoughts. Become one with them."

"You can't catch my gay thoughts."

"Hah! So you admit that you're gay!"

"No! You can't catch them because I have none."

A lie, his subconsciousness rebutted. You had two already, it reminded him.

Arielle snorted, rolling her eyes so hard they seemed to disappear at the back of her head.

"Uh, you guys done yet?" Nagito interrupted. "I have a deadline for my souls, you know."

"Yeah, yeah, we're done here. We're satisfied, so now you and your boyfriend can return to Hell." Arielle beamed.

"Thanks for everything." Tina laughed. "I had the best time of my life."

The two girls were still smiling when Nagito collected their souls with a flick of his blade, transferring them to the golden crystals hovering above his wings.

Nagito began shrugging off his green jacket, replacing it with his old one.

"Wait!" Hajime blurted out. "Can you uh... leave that on for the time being?"

He mentally cringed at his words. He sounded like he was flirting or something. It disgusted him. Romantic feelings were cheesy and he had no need for them.

"Why?" Nagito tilted his head.

"Just do it."

Nagito stared at Hajime for a couple of seconds more before folding his back jacket into a neat pile and placing it over his arm.

"Come on," he wrapped his arms around Hajime's waist and unfurled his wings. "We have some souls to deliver."
