Third Person;

Hajime entered his wooden cottage and found a colorful paper slip. When he picked it up, he found out that it was an invitation ticket for the party Kazuichi mentioned.

"Hmm, it starts at 5pm" Hajime mumbled.

5pm is in two hours, so he had all the time he could possibly want or need to get ready.

Hajime's thoughts were interrupted by three soft, but still rough knocks on the door. He got up and opened the door with a creak.

On his, not so big, surprise Nagito Komaeda was standing in front.

"So Hajime, do you plan to go?" Nagito asked, skipping greetings or basically a way to start conversation. He wasn't as calm as usual, now he was pretty tense and on edge.

After all, Nagito was the only one who didn't get invited.

"I'm not sure" Hajime mumbled.

"Aha... So you want to go" Nagito said and man, he wasn't really wrong. Hajime did think about going, he just didn't want to hurt Nagito.

"Wha-?! I don't know yet"

Without a reply Nagito turned around and walked away.

"Nagito! Wait" Hajime yelled as he caught up with the taller male.

"Yes?" Nagito whispered not turning his face to Hajime.

"Why did you ask anyway?"

"I don't know, it's kinda been bugging me"

"Nagito, it's okay to be selfish sometimes. Not always, but in some cases you should be selfish to get that you want. So, I'm asking you, be selfish and tell me"

"Fine! I thought we could hang out a little more. We hung out only for about 45 minutes and you said you wanted to catch up"

"I know I did. I know what I said"

"Good"

"Can we go inside? We're making a scene here" Hajime whisper-yelled after seeing few doors open.

"Sure. They don't need to hear our drama" Nagito's response was more sour than ever, counting the way Nagito told Hajime that he's talentless.

These two walked to Hajime's cottage and Hajime sat down on his bed, not taking his eyes off his stressed friend.

"So, talk yourself out Nagito. I'm listening" Hajime said as he looked at Nagito who was walking up and down nervously.

"What should I begin with"

"Wherever you want. For example, why did it pisses you off so much? It's just a hang out with my friends"

"You promised! You promised me that we'll catch up"

"I know I did, but you know we can hang out whenever you want Nagito"
