My Hope is Yours

Bad Dreams

Nagito shot upright in bed, breathing heavily as sweat dripped down his face. Not again... please not again... his mind whirred with thoughts of the nightmare that had plagued his mind... and then came to a stop as he realised he was in a place he didn't recognise.

His breathing quickened, as he shot upright and glanced around in a panic. Wait, no, he recognised where he was - he's in Hajime's house, in his living room, on the couch. He must've fallen asleep while they were working on the homework together earlier that day. Or... yesterday, if the 1:30am time on the clock nearby was correct.

Nagito slowly calmed down, placing his hand against his chest as he shakily breathed in and out. That dream was... an unpleasant one. He shivered, remembering it:

"H - Hajime!" Nagito sprinted over to Hajime, who was in the same position Nagito was in when he died, however this time there was no poison and the spear had dropped, making Hajime slowly, painfully, bleed to death. Nagito untied the ropes around Hajime's arm and legs, and carefully removed the knife in Hajime's hand, glancing at it for a second before tossing it to the side, and returning his focus back onto Hajime. There was so much blood...

Nagito pooled the blood in his palms, shaking in fear and loss. "H - Hajime...? N - no..."

Hajime slowly opened his eyes. "Nagi...to..." He coughed, and a small amount of blood escaped his lips. Nagito gasped, and quickly shook the blood off his hands as best he could, before carefully picking up Hajime's head, using his thumbs to gently stoke Hajime's cheeks.

Tears trickled down his cheeks. "Hajime... is there... anything I can do...?"

Hajime smiled slightly. "No..."

Nagito cried harder. "I thought not..." He gently placed his lips against Hajime's, not caring that they're still coated with Hajime's blood, knowing this kiss would be the last one they'd ever share, as Hajime's blood stretched across the cold stone that Nagito was kneeling on, and that would become Hajime's final resting place.

Hajime returned the kiss passionately, with a soft smile on his face. Nagito saw Hajime's arm shaking - Hajime must've been trying to lift it up, to tangle it in Nagito's hair or something, but had too little strength. Nagito broke out of the kiss for a split second, to lift Hajime's hand and place it in his hair, smiling at Hajime when he felt Hajime's fingers slowly clutch at strands of Nagito's hair and pull slightly.

"I know, I know..." He chuckled, and leaned back down, kissing Hajime once again. For what must be their final kiss together, his chest wasn't hurting as much as he expected it to. His heart was breaking - but it hadn't yet shattered. Hajime was still here, with him, and he wouldn't let Hajime see him shatter. Ever.

Suddenly Hajime's eyes flashed and he pulled away from the kiss.

"Hajime...?"

"You caused this, Komaeda."

"I- Komaeda? Hajime, what-"

"You, and your luck, is why I'm dead."

Nagito felt the world freeze. He... he knew how bad his luck could be, but... but he never - he never wanted this.

"I... I see..." Is all he could muster in return.

"I am dead because of you. I hate you." Hajime said, before his eyes shut, his arm fell back to the ground, and his breathing stopped.

Suddenly, Nagito spotted the sharp gleam of the knife Hajime had stabbed his palm with on the floor nearby, and he picked it up with shaking arms. The arm which wasn't holding the knife removed the spear from Hajime's chest and pulled him close, making Hajime's head rest under Nagito's chin, as his tears dripped onto Hajime's cheeks.

"... I love you too, Hajime. I'll see you soon."

And after those words were whispered, Nagito plunged the knife into his chest.

Nagito suppressed the urge to scream, as his hands raced to his chest, touching it in an attempt to reassure himself that these things hadn't of happened. He was safe, he was alive, Hajime-

Hajime?

Was Hajime okay...?!

Nagito raced to Hajime's bedroom and silently opened the door, entering quickly, and approached Hajime's bed. He sighed slightly as he spotted Hajime's peaceful sleeping expression as he rested.

Nagito sat on the edge of Hajime's bed and placed his hand on Hajime's head, ruffling his hair gently. "It seems like you're having sweet dreams..." He whispered quietly with a soft smile.

Hajime sighed slightly and shifted in bed, leaning further into Nagito's hand. "N... Nagito..." He muttered quietly, and sighed once again, a soft smile on his face. Nagito blushed slightly, and tried to pull his hand away, but Hajime leaned more onto it and grabbed Nagito's hand with both of his own, cracking open his eyes slightly.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you...?!" Nagito whispered. "I didn't mean to, I just had a nightmare and-"

Without saying anything, Hajime pulled Nagito down onto the bed and wrapped the covers around them both, hugging Nagito's chest close to him.

"Hajime...?"

"Don't worry about it okay? You have me to protect you from the nightmares now." Hajime muttered quietly, pressing a soft kiss to the back of Nagito's head. "Please sleep."

Nagito smiled. "Alright. I love you, Hajime."

"I love you too, Nagito."

And they fell asleep, dreaming peaceful dreams, safe and happy with one another.

Alright so that's the first chapter of My Hope is Yours. I wrote another chapter but I'll be posting that one later. This story is a compilation of Komahina oneshots, so while there will probably be a couple ones which are two-shots, there will be no overarching plot line or anything. This is my first time making a oneshot-compilation story so I'm super nervous XD

I was going to wait until my Saiouma story was finished before I started publishing chapters here, but I reached 300 followers this morning and decided to give you guys this as a little treat/celebration haha! Thank you guys so much for your support.

My priorities are my Saiouma and MHA stories though, so this story won't be getting updated as often as they will be. But since this is a one-shot compilation, I figure it's not too bad since you guys won't really be waiting on cliff-hangers or anything.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed and I'll see you guys again soon!

But for now...

Peachy out! 😊
