New Hope - Chapter Twenty-Two
"So... boyfriends huh?" Nagito asked, swinging his legs while sitting on the bed.
"I... It was just something... I said... as a joke! Yeah, a way to stop their questioning and get us out of there..."
"O - oh..." Nagito muttered, glancing downwards, the swinging stopping.
Hajime, sensing the reason for Nagito's downcast mood, was quick to correct himself.
"Not that I'd mind being your...!" He then paused, realising what he was saying. Nagito's head shot upwards, and Hajime realised he couldn't leave the sentence unfinished. "Not that... I'd mind... being your boyfriend..." His voice trailed off, and he shook his head wildly. "But I'd be the worst person to date! You really wouldn't want to be seen with someone like me..."
Nagito tried to imitate Hajime's classic glare but wasn't quite able to. Hajime caught onto what Nagito was trying to do though, and quietly laughed.
"And besides, it's not like you have feelings for me to begin with..." Hajime muttered, turning away to head back outside and get some air.
Nagito followed him, and for a few minutes they walked in silence around the plants in the island's makeshift garden. They finally came to a stop near a bench and Nagito sat down.
"Well... who's to say I don't have feelings for you?"
Hajime paused. "W - what?"
"Who's to say I don't have feelings for you?" He repeated.
Slowly red creeped up Hajime's face.
"I mean, I did kiss you first, after all... I kinda thought it was obvious..." Nagito added, making Hajime slump next to him on the bench in embarrassment. "And then when you didn't say anything and start to pretend it never happened, I just assumed you didn't feel the same..." Hajime covered his face with his hands.
"I did have feelings for you - I do have feelings for you! I just... at the time I didn't know what I was feeling. And then... with the song... the chemistry... I just couldn't stop myself. I'm sorry..." He said to Nagito, who began flapping his hands in confusion.
"Woah, it's like we switched roles!" He said, before grabbing Hajime's hands and pulling him up, noticing the tears leaking out of Hajime's eyes. "Hey, it's okay Hajime... Please don't cry..."
Hajime was smiling. "I - I didn't think you'd feel the same as me..."
Hajime had finished standing up, but Nagito refused to let go of his hands, and instead tugged Hajime closer, and his head landed softly in the crook of Nagito's neck, as he carefully fiddled with Hajime's hair.
"So... would you like to see the movies with me tomorrow?" Nagito muttered quietly to Hajime.
Hajime jumped. "A - As a d - d - date...??"
Hajime could feel the vibrations on Nagito's neck as he laughed. "Of course silly, what else would it be?"
Hajime's face continued to burn hot. "I... I..."
He smiled.
"Yes."
---TimeSkip---
Carefully sitting down in the theatre, Hajime leaned closer to Nagito, resting his head on his shoulder. Nagito smiled wider at the affection and returned it by making small braids with Hajime's hair.
Hajime grabbed a small kernel of popcorn - much to Nagito's dismay - and popped in his mouth as they waited for the movie to begin.
Honestly neither of them really cared about the movie - there wasn't much of a pick to begin with, so they just went with what seemed like the most intriguing: the mystery movie. With all the trials, Hajime especially was looking forward to a crime or puzzle that didn't hold his life on the line.
The lights dimmed and Hajime gradually relaxed further on Nagito's shoulder, taking care to make sure Nagito wasn't feeling uncomfortable or if the weight of his head was too heavy - Hajime expected that if he asked Nagito either of these Nagito wouldn't tell him the truth, stating that he can 'handle it' or something.
Well Hajime calls BS and kept an eye on Nagito throughout the film... just to make sure Hajime's head wasn't too uncomfortable!
If you asked him, Hajime wouldn't really be able to tell you what the movie was about - something to do with the protagonist's pants being stolen... to be honest, he wasn't really watching the movie. It was hard enough not falling asleep, with how relaxing Nagito's hand in his hair was...
"Nagito..." Hajime shifted slightly so more of his weight was on Nagito, knocking the popcorn over and onto the floor. He sighed as he gradually felt sleep pull him under, just catching the faint blush on Nagito's face as he closed his eyes.
---TimeSkip---
"Hajime? Hajime?" Nagito called.
"Hmm?" Hajime muttered, rubbing his eyes. "What is it?"
"The movie's over..." Nagito replied quietly, as not to startle him.
As Hajime slowly started coming to his senses he felt Nagito's hand still in his hair, and... his head in Nagito's lap?
"Nagito... I - I thought... I slept on your shoulder?" Hajime asked, turning pink.
"I... It was slightly uncomfortable for me after a while, so I did my best to gently move you to my lap... I hope you don't mind, I'm genuinely really sorry if you're upset..."
Hajime sat upright and gently placed his palm over Nagito's mouth.
"Hey." He said. "No need to apologise - okay?"
Nagito nodded, and Hajime removed his hand.
"So..." Hajime trailed off. "Did you enjoy the movie?"
"It was alright - the culprit ended up actually being the protagonist, isn't that a unique concept...?" Nagito wondered, in thought. He then shook his head and laughed as he turned to Hajime. "It didn't really seem like you liked it though."
"I liked it! I was just... busy."
"Busy sleeping?" Nagito's grin got wider, his raised eyebrow directed at Hajime.
"I - I was practically forced to fall unconscious - your shoulder was just so relaxing to lean on!" Hajime squeaked, face already back to its common red colour.
Nagito laughed again, and took Hajime's hand in his, pulling him up from his seat. "Hey, let's get some food? A meal would be a nice way to end our date right?"
Hajime flushed brighter at being reminded they were on a 'date'. "Y - Yeah, sounds good!"
As Hajime tightened his grip on the hand loving placed in his, he hoped this feeling would last forever...
AHHHH KOMAHINA DATE <3
*Ahem* anyway.
I hope you enjoyed reading! I just got back from work XD
I'm hoping - cross fingers - to update my other komahina fanfic later, but I'm not sure whether I'll be able to yet. I guess we'll see haha
Okay, once again, thank you all for your amazing support that you've shown this story. We've almost reached 2K, which is something I honestly didn't believe would happen when I first started uploading chapters. You guys have made this passion of mine into something I can really feel achieved in, so thank you all so much. Without all the support you've shown this story, I probably wouldn't have even started writing Let me Love You... so again, thank you all.
Anyways, I'll see you all again tomorrow! There's about 10 chapters left now! We're nearing the end!
But for now...
Peachy out! 😊
