Hajime's POV
"Komaeda?" I asked walking into our house closing the door quietly behind me. All I got was silence as I hung up my coat and put my keys on the hanger by the door.

"Komaeda?" I asked again getting a little twinge of worry not getting an answer. I walked up to our room a little quickly the worried feeling in my gut slowly growing with the ominous silence. I walked up the stairs and every step I took felt heavier than the last. Why isn't he responding? Is he asleep? No, he doesn't sleep well when I'm not with him... then what could be keeping him?

I opened the door flinching from the deafening creak it made. I listened and heard small hiccups.

"Komaeda? Are you in here?" I asked looking around the dark room eyes going wide to catch all the light I could. I walked over to the bed feeling around to see if I could find him. I didn't dare turn the light on, he gets scared easily and I don't think he would like that...

Hic

Hic

Hic

Komaeda? I felt around the bed moving to his side of the bed hearing the hiccups louder I moved to the floor and felt his hand hearing a quiet gasp quickly stifled by small sobs. I moved in front of him so I could pull him into my lap wrapping my arms around him.

"Hajime?" He said voice cracking and shaking making me frown.

"Komaeda, what happened?" I asked silently begging he didn't hurt himself again. When he gets scared and he is alone he makes some rash decisions he wouldn't usually make...

"I-I'm s-sorry..." He said clutching the back of my shirt staining the front with his tears.

"Why are you sorry?" I asked kissing his forehead and caressing his cheek hating how much he was shaking. I felt guilty for being gone so long... I had to work today and he said it was ok... but knowing Komaeda he wasn't thinking of himself. He was thinking of me...

"I should be sorry for being gone for so long. Leaving you alone here for so long. I'm so sorry..." I said holding his head in my hands before burying my head into his shoulder taking in a shaky breath.

"No Hajime! You don't have to feel guilty about this... I could have handled it better..." He said words clipping when they left his mouth. I could feel him shaking from under me. My frown grew with each word that left his mouth in a shaky whisper.

"Komaeda," I paused taking in another breath.

"You don't have to think about me the whole time. You need to think of yourself. If something I do hurts you I need to know ok." I said moving my mouth to kiss his cheek letting my lips linger there for a moment.

"But Hajime-" He started but I cut him off with a brief kiss making him gasp before he kissed back gently.

"No buts, I want to see you smile. I want you to be happy. I want to know that you are genuinely happy with me. I want to see you smile and know that you're happy." I said looking him in the eyes. I was able to see the outline of his face because my eyes had finally adjusted to the dark. His eyes were wide and his mouth was gaping before he closed his eyes and put his head down more sobs erupting from his mouth. I quickly pulled him back into my arms and rubbed his back.

"I know you may not think you deserve this or whatever you're telling yourself, but I want you to know that I care about you and I want to be able to make you happy Nagito Komaeda," I said giving him a small smile raising his face to meet mine. Tears were still falling down his face and they were already all red and puffy probably from his crying before...

"Hajime. No one has ever-" He said before he cut himself off with more sobs putting his head in the crook of my neck.

"I love you Komaeda," I said running one of my hands through his hair while the other one was securely around his waist.

"I love you so much Hajime." I heard him mumble before I felt him slouch tired from all the excitement.

"Tired Komaeda?" I asked already knowing the answer. He nodded and leaned onto me almost making me fall over. I smiled and slowly picked him up and placed him on the bed. I changed into some pajamas and went to go downstairs to grab some melatonin for Komaeda. I was almost out of the room when I felt his arms around me.

"Komaeda?" I asked raising my eyebrow putting my hands on top of his. He only mumbled an answer I couldn't hear so I took his hand and walked downstairs to grab the melatonin. He walked slowly from being sleep deprived. I found it so cute how he was tired and still wanted to stay by my side although I wouldn't have been far. Komaeda you make me so happy I hope I'm making you as happy as you make me. I will try my hardest to help you smile Komaeda... because I love you more than you could even imagine.

"Komaeda since you're down here take these ok?" I said handing the pills to him with a glass of water. He gave me a tired glance and quickly took the pills and rested his head back on my shoulder. I laughed a little at the action before I smiled at him adoringly. I slowly walked him back up to our room and laid him down on the bed and cuddled close to him. He opened his eyes and mumbled something before they slid closed and I could hear soft snores from him.

I love you Komaeda and I want to be there when you smile.
