(Monster AU)
(Chiaki is the reason why they're remnants)

(Hajime POV)

Thankfully someone came and said that I was placed in the wrong class and I was supposed to be with Gundham, I we both went up towards Hope's Peak then once we both got inside, my vision went to black. I later woke up with Gundham holding me, he's still sleeping, he pulled me closer towards his body, after a bit of us just cuddling on the ground.

He woke up and he looked very confused for a bit but then we went inside the classroom and we saw different types of monsters, "Oh there's the last two." A girl with a computer for a head but had her face on the screen said, "Mh.. it seems that computer girl is correct." A girl with cat ears said, "Okay so we got frankincense and vampire boy." A guy with orange horns said, wait... did he say frankincense..?

I looked at Gundham and he also looked confused, "So should we discuss why we're here." A heavy wolf said, "Yeah... all I remember before passing out was walking onto here." I said, "Mh.. it's the same for me." A short boy that has fire coming out of certain places of his body said, "Oh I thought that was only for me." A blond girl said with blue glowing eyes, "No, I think everyone in here experienced it." A red bird said, so I guess everyone experienced the same thing..

We need to know each other's names.. "Alright then, so should we introduce ourselves so we know who we are?" I asked, everyone agreed, "Okay so my name is Hajime Hinata, my Ultimate is Ultimate Therapist." I said, "Kuku.. My name is Gundham Tanaka, the Ultimate Animal Breeder, and remember the names well as it'll rule the world one day as the Tanaka and Hinata empire!" Gundham said, hehe, he's so cute..

The orange horns guy sighed, "Well at least you two know each other."  A boy with orange horns said, we both sit at the chairs we were there then a bunny came out claiming to be our teacher, "Everyone could leave once everyone gains all the hope fragments." She said, "Huh..? Okay, so everyone needs to become friends..?" I said, "Love love, yup Hajime is correct, everyone here needs to become friends." Usami said, that's nice...

Usami did an pose, "Okay, so everyone continue with the introductions." Usami said then she disappeared, "My name is Teruteru Hanamaru, the Ultimate Cook but you please call me the Ultimate Chef, it has a big city favor taste you know." The boy with fire on his body said, "My name is Byakuya Togami, the Ultimate Affluent Progeny." The heavy wolf said, the girl who has glowing eyes looks nice..

She bowed a bit to eventually, "My name is Sonia Nevermind, the Ultimate Princess." The blonde hair girl with glowing eyes said, "My name is Fuyuhuko Kuzurya, the Ultimate Yakuza, and just to be clear I don't plan on becoming one of your fucking friends and shit." The boy with orange horns said, well ain't he a charmer...

The girl with the computer head looked to be sleeping, she woke up "My name is Chiaki Nanami, the Ultimate Gamer." The girl with a computer for a head said, "MY NAME IS NEKOMARU NIDIA, THE ULTIMATE TEAM MANAGER!" A very tall male that has bear features yelled, "My name is Akane Owari, the Ultimate Gymnast." A girl with dark brown hair that has wolverine features said, she and the bear guy look a little scary..

The android looked a little happy, "My name is Kazuichi Soda, the Ultimate Mechanic." A android with pink hair said, "M- My name is Mikan T- Tsumiki, the Ultimate Nurse, f- from the bottom of my heart I hope we could get along." A girl with purple hair and rhinestones across her arms said, "My name is Hiyoko Saionji, the Ultimate Traditional Dancer." A girl with pigtails and cat ears said, she looks adorable...

The somewhat normal looking chick looked excited for something.. "MY NAME IS IBUKI MIODA, THE ULTIMATE MUSICIAN." A colorful hair girl said with a auto tone voice said, "My name is Peko Pekoyama, the Ultimate Swordswoman." A girl with grey hair and glowing red eyes said, "My name is Nagito Komeada, the Ultimate Lucky Student." A boy with pale skin and a tail coming out of him said, poor boy.. he might be sick..

The red bird is the last one yo introduced themselves.. "My name is Mahiru Koizumi, the Ultimate Photographer." The red bird said, then the walls dropped down, "I think we should go explore this place." I said, "Yeah Hajime is right." Mahiru said, we all left the beach in groups to explore.

I was with Gundham, "My prince, do you perhaps know why there's stitches across your body?" Gundham asked, "Mh..? Oh no I don't, maybe something happened when we passed out?" I said, "Perhaps.. but I do worry for you since you have no control of how strong the stitching is." Gundham said, "Yeah that it true, but you're here to help me." I said, he kissed my cheek and we explored the island.

Then we all head back to the first island, "So did anyone find anything?" Byakuya asked, "Gundham and I found out that there's a store with everything in it." I said, "Very good Hajime, how about everyone else? Teruteru and I found out that everyone here has a cottage with their picture on it." He said, "Ibuki and Mikan- Chan found out that there's a old building that's under construction." Ibuki said, that building could be in use in a little bit..

Hiyoko looked to be bored.. "Mahiru and I found out that there's a restaurant with food." Hiyoko said, "Mh..? Oh.. Sonia and I found out that there's other islands." Chiaki said, "Akane and I found out that there's a huge statue in the park." Nekomaru said, "So none of you guys know about the secret of this island?" Byakuya asked, "That this island is Jabberwock island correct? I do remember seeing a stature there, but I don't remember the meanings of the animals, I know that they each represent each of the islands." I said, Byakuya looked to be impressed...

He then gave a smirk.. "Are you the only one who knows besides me..?" Byakuya asked, "I guess so, I do recall my prince in talking about this realm sometimes." Gundham said, "Love love, how is everyone? Anyways I've prepared a present for you all." Usami said, "Oh really what is it?" I asked, "It's this." She said, she brought out a keychain of her face and gave it to everyone.

It looked very adorable.. "Aww. Gundham look it's adorable." I said, showing him the keychain, "It brings you joy..? Okay my prince, I do admit to you that it's adorable." Gundham said, everyone else thought differently and threw it to the ground, "C'mon guys, the bunny is adorable. I'll help you to pick them up." I said, "T- Thank you Hajime." She said, everyone but Gundham left and he helped too, "Thank you you both, I have something else prepared for you both." She said, she then waved her wand and then I was back to normal.

I was happy, "At least I'm back to normal, but are you going to tell the others?" I asked Usami, "Yes I will, you and Gundham go into your cottage tho." She said, "Okay! Let's go Gundham." I said, I held Gundham's hand, and I smiled gently at him, we both went to my cottage and after a bit, I heard knocking.

Gundham got defensive quickly and he stood in front of me as he opened the door, it was Mahiru, "Oh hello- Gundham..? What are you doing in Hajime's cottage?" She asked her tone laced with suspicion, "The bunny told my prince and I to go into his domain." Gundham said, "Okay..? Could I and the others speak with Hajime one on one?" She asked, "Only if you fiends promise to not bring any harm to him." Gundham said but I could tell tone that he's worried for me.

Mahiru looked to be calm.. "Okay, we wouldn't have hurt him other wise." She said, "Do I come out or do you guys want to come in?" I asked, "We could come in-" Mahiru was then interrupted "In that case, I shall be staying with my prince when it is the yakuza mortal's turn just in case the yakuza fiend tries to pull anything." Gundham said with distrust in his voice, "Okay then, I'll go grab the others." She said then she walked off.

Gundham kissed my nose, "Tell me everything that happens, okay my beloved prince?" Gundham said, "Okay! I will." I said then kissing his lips, his face brightened then he covered it with his scarf, he then left quickly. Byakuya came in shortly later, "Oh.. I guess the bunny was telling the truth." He said, "Yeah, so what did you guys want to tell me?" I asked, "We couldn't figure out how to tell you all at once so we figured we'd tell you one by one." Byakuya said, I wonder what they wanted to tell me..

Well.. they are going to tell me now.. "Okay..? But what is it that you needed to tell me?" I asked, "Tell me if anyone tries to hurt you." He said, "Okay.." I said, he then left then Teruteru came in, "I think Byakuya has already told you so, Hajime I would personally cook for you so no one would try and poison you." Teruteru said, "Thank.. you?" I said confused, he left then Mahiru came back in, "Just tell me anything you're feeling about someone." She said "Alright?" I said, then she left.

Peko then came in, "Young master told me to protect you no matter the cost." She said, "Who's 'young master'?" I asked, she didn't answer then she left, Ibuki came in "You could always call me if you wanna jam!" She said, "Why are you the only person so far to make sense?" I asked, "Dunno, guess I'm chosen by the gods!" She said then left, anndddd she's back at it again...

Hiyoko came in "Tell me if anyone is bothering you, and I'll deal with it." She said with a dark look on her face "Okay.." I said, she then left then Mikan came in, "Come to me, no matter how injury you are, even if it's only a paper cut since you could get infections from here." Mikan said without stuttering, "Thank you Milan, that's really sweet of you." I said, she smiled then left.

Nekomaru came in "Um alright, I forgot what I was going to tell you, oh yeah right! Come to me if you ever want to train." Nekomaru said, "Alright I will." I said, he then left and Nagito came in, "Hehe.. why would a worthless person like me could get pitied, well anyways, come to me if you ever feel like you want to get revenge on someone." Nagito said, before I could respond he left.

Chiaki then came in "Come to me if you ever want to play any games with anyone." She said, "Okay I will." I said smiling, she left then Akane entered "It's the same thing with Nekomaru, come to me if you want to learn how to defend yourself." She said, "Okay.." I said, she left then Kazuichi then entered "Uhh.. Come to me if anything breaks and I could fix it." He said, "Alright I will." I said, he left then Fuyuhiko along with Peko entered.

Before Fuyuhiko could speak Gundham barged in and brought me close to him, "Gundham?! What the fuck are you doing?!" Fuyuhiko yelled, "I simply don't trust you given your attitude towards everyone and my prince is at a disadvantage." Gundham said, he was glaring at Fuyuhiko, "Okay fine whatever, I could say it while Gundham is here." Fuyuhiko said, "Come to me or Peko if you feel threatened by anyone." Fuyuhiko said, "Alright I will." I said, they both left.

What the fuck is happening with everyone... "Who else us left my prince?" Gundham asked, "Sonia and that's the final one." I said, Sonia then entered, "Hello Hajime, I must ask you to please teach me about Japanese culture, and as of return once we get back home, I'll make a special room for you once you come over and I'll name a part of the kingdom after you." Sonia said smiling.

I saw that there were stars in her eyes, "Sure I'll help you." I said, "Wow! I never saw a human up close before. It feels so exciting, how is it like?" Sonia asked, "It's pretty nice, but never really made munch friends because of it, Gundham is my best friend since childhood." I said smiling, 'I'm glad that he's more than that, I just don't know if he wants it publicly or not.' I quietly thought, Gundham didn't looked to bothered with me saying that I called him my best friend.

Sonia looked to be starstruck, "Hajime! I also have a special ability to tell people's true emotions. And I know that you see each other as more than friends." She said, I immediately covered my face with my hands, Gundham buried his face onto the crook of my neck, "Yeah, I don't know it Gundham-" I was interrupted by Gundham "Kuku.. I do wish do us to be public my prince so they'll know that you're mine and won't accidentally take you away." Gundham said, he stroked my face for a bit, it was quite nice...

Sonia smiled happily at us.. "Alrighty, I'll leave you two alone now." Sonia said then she left. Gundham brought me to his bed, he cuddled up against me, "I love you so much my prince." Gundham said, "I love you too Gundham, and I always will." I said. I brought my lips on his and he wrapped his arms around my neck and pulled me closer, then we both pulled away.

I smiled softly at him, it was now nighttime and he went to his cottage to grab some pajamas, we both changed into them, we both got back onto the bed and he pulled the covers over us and we both cuddled until we both fell asleep in each other's arms.

(Timeskipy)

(Gundham POV)

I woke up at dawn, and my prince was still asleep, his face was right next to mine, I smiled gently at his features, I kissed his nose, and he smiled gently in his sleep "Gundham... I love you too... please don't leave.." He murmured in his sleep, he silently cried, I gently rocked him and I rubbed his back.

He calmed down and shortly later the alarm of the bunny rang, waking up my prince. He got up and we both got dressed and we head over to the restaurant.

(Timeskipy to when everything was revealed)

(Hajime POV)

I was shocked to what I found out "They were... they were the fifteen remnants of despair...?" I said, "Yeah.. but you're all cured from what Junko did to you guys, and we can help you guys rebuild your future." Makoto said happily wagging his tail, "I agree with Makoto, we all might've messed up in the past but we could fix our future." Nekomaru said, "Also there's one thing..." Makoto said, everyone looked confused..

What is it tho..? "Huh what is it?" Fuyuhiko asked, "It's about Hajime really.. well he... he was turned." Makoto said, everyone fell silent "I KNEW IT! WE SHOULD'VE NEVER LET HAJIME NEAR GUNDHAM!" Hiyoko yelled, "Calm down, it was during High school. You guys didn't even know Hajime before Gundham introduced you guys to him during when you guys were remnants..." The real Byakuya said, he glared at everyone, "Okay s0, could we all leave now?" I asked, "Yes you could, everyone let's leave together." Makoto said, then everything went black.

(Still his POV)

I woke up inside a pod, ugh my head hurts, I sat up and I rubbed my head. Then I felt arms wrapped tightly around me, it was Gundham, I wrapped my arms around him, he was sobbing softly onto my chest, "Shh.. it's okay, I'm here now." I whispered softly into his ear, he showered my face with kisses.

He picked me up and after everyone settled, we all stopped Ryota from brainwashing the entire world to nothing but hope, after that we all headed back home. We all helped the world from the despair that they've caused.

I still love Gundham, we've been using his animals to find missing people, and recently we both got married.
