last feeling of hope.

it's worth a try.

~ flashback ;0 ~ 

Hajime's pov 

The third trial had been concluded. It was honestly so unfortunate that there was a third trial, and a second one, and even a first one. I thought we all had agreed on skipping the whole killing game scheme. I honestly couldn't think straight anymore, what happened? 

Did monokuma really get to our brains and slowly corrupt them one by one? How? I felt that at this point I couldn't completely trust anyone, especially Nagito. 

I didn't want to admit that he had been untrustworthy, but could you blame me after everything he's pulled? Weirdly enough though I had a weird sensation that called to me saying that maybe I am being unfair. He wasn't that crazy anyway, he was really nice when I first met him. Maybe it was just monokuma who had gotten to him. I could help him, I am going to help him.

No. No! I couldn't possibly help him, if anything what if he tried to kill me? Do I really want to jeopardize my life to try and help this, this.... maniac? I could try, but is it even worth it? I'd like to be able to trust him considering he put my nerves at ease after getting on this stupid island. He isn't THAT bad. He could be, but I mean, I should take a risk. At least I can die trying.

Nagito's pov

That is the end of the third trial. I am a little disappointed it wasn't my trial though. Again, why wasn't anyone trying to attempt to kill worthless washed-up trash like me? I wanted to be the stepping stone of hope to the ultimate at hope peak! That'd be absolutely wonderful in my opinion. You may think it's crazy but I think it's helpful. It's not like anyone wants me around still anyway. No one here considers me as a friend after all. Isn't having me be gone much more convenient for everyone?

Hmm, I am quite disappointed but I guess I get to see another sunny, tropical, breezy day.  Mmmm a breezy day. Funny how the sun still shines even after death. It seems like such a hopeful day, all the hope masks the despair filling the world's crest. Mhm. Hope will overcome though. 

it'll- "Nagito!"

(third-person pov)

Nagito turned around to see Hajime running towards him, all Nagito could do was stare at the slightly shorter than him, the slender boy running towards him calling out his name. 

Why did this ultimate want to speak to someone as worthless as Nagito? There was nothing to discuss with him, so what could've been so important?

" Hajime? " Nagito questioned.

Hajime stopped running as soon as reached the angelic boy with white fluffy hair. He put his hand on his knees and looked at the ground attempting to recover the breath he had just lost, he quickly took his pointer finger and shoved it above his head to signal Nagito to give him a second. Nagito had turned his head sideways in curiosity, confused at what Hajime was attempting to speak to him about.

"Hajime? What is it?" Nagito sighed.

"Komaeda... Follow... m-me." The boy said with a short breath. He finally stood up after a minute and fixed his posture, he fixated his eyes to glance at Nagito for a quick second before quickly grabbing his wrist and tugging him in the direction of the beach. 

" Wh-what are we doing?" Nagito quickly shouted with concern. 

" Going to the beach. You and I both have free time, and id like to spend mine with you before going back to my cabin for the night. I could also use the company.." Hajime explained. Nagito could feel his face heat up at the words ".... and I'd like to spend it with you..." Nagito couldn't help but wonder if Hajime genuinely meant his words. Did he really want to spend time with him? Nagito could feel his pulse growing stronger at the thought, what was this feeling? 

It wasn't frightful like despair, but it wasn't as great as hope. It was... better?
