Campus (Nagito x Hajime)

Blue Birds

Nagito woke up to the sound of Gundham and Kazuichi fighting over the remote. He got up and stretched. Still no call from Hajime. Even if he called, the volume would've been so loud it would've woken him up. His room was messy, instead of unpacking he just kind of dumped everything everywhere. He walked to the living room kicking a yellow shirt and a blue one on his way.

"Just compromise watch like- Martha Stewart or something." Nagito slumped on the couch.

"What? No!" Kazuichi screeched.

"I would like to view the nature channel. Though, Kazuichi wants to watch the channel that has women on the beach." Gundham said as he was tugging at the remote. "Let go Kazuichi the Lions need me!"

"No way!" Kazuichi cried. "What about we let Nagito choose!"

"Oh- You want my vote? Funny you would want my vote. Trash like me's vote means basically nothing and-" Komaeda started.

"Kazuichi let me watch the nature channel or I'll curse you!" Gundham threatened a hand as Kazuichi screamed in fear. 

"Okay! Okay!" Kazuichi ran behind the couch.

Gundham laughed and turned on the nature channel. It was showing penguins.

Kazuichi groaned in defeat. "Ugh. Nagito you want to go look around I don't want to watch this lame show."

"Sure. Let's head out." Nagito put on his shoes. 

"Man those shoes are ugly." Kazuichi added.

Nagito opened the door and held it for Soda. They walked to the gardens and sat down at a bench. 

"Have you seen Sonia lately? She told Gundham she was going here didn't she?" Kazuichi pointed around.

"No.. I've seen Chiaki and Akane though. Akane came around to my work today. She liked the paninis a lot. She ate like 26." Nagito explained.

"Dang it. Sonia probably looks so beautiful studying or failing, or-" Kazuichi went on, but Nagito zoned out. "Right?" Kazuichi asked.

"Huh?" Nagito was very confused.

"Sonia would make a good mascot for anything right?" He asked again. 

Nagito slowly nodded. "Mhm. Yes. Of course." 

Kazuichi got up. "Lets head back now. Gundham's probably done with his Lions."

"Alright."

They headed back walking slowly. Nagito kicking gravel with every step. When they got back they saw Gundham standing close to the television ready to learn more about birds.

"Well, he is done with the Lions but now he's on to his Blue Jays or whatever." Kazuichi melted onto the ground. 

"This beauty is in fact not a blue jay, Bimbo Highlighter. It is the majestic wonder that is the Mountain Blue Bird." Gundham explained not looking away from the screen.

Nagito headed back into his room. A notification? 

"Hajime called me?" Nagito called the number. No one answered. He called again. No answer. After five more calls he gave up.  "Ugh." Nagito groaned. Suddenly a ringing filled his ears. "Yes!" He picked up. "Hello? Is this Hajime?"

"Yeah. This is Hinata." A higher voice called, it was rough.

"No. I don't think so..." Nagito said skeptically.

"I just sound different on phone"

"No, I'm still not convinced." 

"Fine. This is his roommate. Hajime's not here, but he said to pick up your call anyway. I don't know why it was a weird request." Fuyuhiko explained.

"Ah. I see. Have a good day." Nagito hung up and held his phone in his hands for a bit. "School tomorrow. First day. Maybe I'll get to talk to him then." He said to himself. "But first, I have to get to work." He got up and waved bye to Gundham and Kazuichi. 

When he got there Hajime sat at a bar stool. Talking comfortably to Chiaki.

"Hey guys," Nagito walked slowly behind the counter.

"Oh hey Komaeda!" Chiaki waved. Hajime stayed quiet.

"I'll get ready." Nagito headed back into the backrooms. He put on his apron.

"I gotta get going. My shift is over." Chiaki took off her apron and put on her jacket. "See you Hajime." She wiped down her shirt. "Also, Mahiru's closing up today, she'll come later." Nanami called to Nagito as he walked out.

"So, uh. Why'd you come here, Hajime?" Nagito asked, grabbing a towel to wipe the counter. 

"I actually came here..." Hajime took a sip of water, "to see you."

"Oh."
