The Muse

T or D

IBUKI'S POV:

Hajime, Peko, and I were sitting one the couch talking while Mikan was switch Nagito. The sad feeling I had from earlier had disappeared as quickly as it came when I saw Nagito and Hajime were in a relationship.

"Hey Hajime?" I asked after a few moments. He took a sip of his coffee and nodded, telling me to proceed.

"Do you know why Mikan's so anxious?" I asked, carefully phrasing the question so I wouldn't seem rude or nosy. He put his cup down and looked back to where the other two had gone.

"Unfortunately, I can't be the one to answer that question. I would like to, but you'd have to ask either Nagito or Mikan herself. Nagito could be the safe option, but he'd probably be vague and tell you that Mikan was the one who needed to answer the question." He responded, looking back at us. I nodded when suddenly Peko's phone went off. I watched her type quickly to whoever had texted her.

"Hey I gotta go. My boss wants me to work a double shift today and tomorrow. I'll see you later Ibuki. Nice meeting you, Hajime!" She said standing and leaving with a wave. We waved back and smiled. As soon as Peko shut the door, Nagito walked out.

"Da dada da! Introducing our ver lovely, Mikan Tsumiki!" He announced with a few claps and a large grin. Mikan walked out and gave Nagito a playful slap on the arm.

"You didn't have to be that loud. You also didn't need to introduce me like that." She said with a few giggles. I couldn't stop staring at her.

She's so beautiful. Like an angel.

A/N: She has shorts on underneath. I took one of her sprites and designed the outfit myself. I know it's not the best but oh well. Future will look better! (Hopefully)... Anyway, let's continue!

She had on the most simple outfit, but was still beautiful. She had put her hair in a ponytail and kept the same socks on from before. One thing I noticed, was a bandage on her hand. I wanted to ask but figured I should wait, for fear it would be too personal.

"Ibuki? Ibuki!" I heard someone calling my name, but I didn't know who. I felt myself be violently shaken and snapped out of my fantasies, once again. I blinked a bit and saw Mikan staring at me, worry covering her face.

"Are you okay? Your face is all red and you were unresponsive! I'm in nursing school, but that wasn't covered yet. I don't know what to do!" She started talking fast and I felt kinda bad. I had made her worry this much for her to get all worked up.

"Girl, I don't think it's something you'll learn in nursing school." Nagito stated, hoping Mikan would understand what was 'wrong' with me. She didn't seem to get it, but calmed down a bit. We made eye contact for a bit, before her face turned a shade of pink and she backed away.

Nagito and Hajime looked at each other, then at me, then at Mikan, and then at each other once again. They both had gigantic grins plastered on their faces.

"Let's play truth or dare!" Nagito exclaimed suddenly. We were kinda shocked at the random comment. And by we, I mean I was shocked. The other two seemed completely unphased, as if this happens a lot. We were all chill with it so we got into a circle. Nagito and Hajime were snuggling up and Mikan and I were next to each other. Ok, so not a circle but whatever.

"Hajime, T or D?" I asked, planning both a truth and dare in my head.

"Hmmm. T." He replied after a short thought.

"Alrighty. I'm just gonna ask you, but anyone can answer, what are y'all's sexualities?" This was my way to see if Mikan was into girls or if she was straight.

"Well, Mikan and I are bisexual and Nagito is-" Hajime started before being cut off.

"Girl I am a full gay." Nagito interrupted with a funny voice that made Mikan laugh.

Cute. Plus, now I know that I may stand a chance. (≧▽≦)

"What's your sexuality, Ibuki?" Hajime asked me. Only fair since I pretty much asked all of theirs.

"I'm a lesbian." I replied, looking over at Mikan. She looked at me and quickly hid her face in the hoodie she was wearing. I laughed slightly which caused her to poke her head out.

"Babe, T or D?" Hajime asked. Without hesitation, Nagito replied with 'D'. His dare was to do a hand stand until he was asked again. He was kinda sad that he wouldn't get cuddles for a bit, but never the less, he got up and started a hand stand.

"Mikan, T or D?" He asked, while still upside down. She also replied with 'D' and a grin appeared on his face.

"I dare you to cuddle with Ibuki for the rest of the game." He said with a snicker.

Damnit. He must be trying to get is into a relationship. Not that I'm complaining, but still...

We scooted closer together and she laid down, with her head on my lap.  She was holding onto my hand with her's, and we were content. It all felt natural, as if we had done this a million times.

The game went into the night hours. Mikan had fallen asleep on my lap and Nagito on Hajime's shoulder. We didn't wanna wake them but we had to move them somewhere.

"Mikan's got a room here, since the apartment came with two. She stays here a bit so we set up a room. You can lay her in there. You can stay as well." Hajime informed me in a light whisper.

"My apartment is two doors down so I'll head there." He nodded and picked up Nagito. I picked up Mikan, using the moon to light the apartment, so no lights would wake the two up. Hajime led me to her room and I placed her on the bed. I was about to leave, when she suddenly started crying in her sleep.

"Shhh. Shhh. It's okay. I'm here." I tried to calm her down.

"*Sniff sniff* s-stay please *sniff*" she pleaded in her sleep. I complied and grabbed a nearby bean bag chair, blanket, and pillow, and made a 'bed' on the floor. I didn't want to intrude on her space and sleep in the bed with her. Just in case she wasn't comfortable with it and bad thought came about what went on in the night. After my bed was made, I laid down and held her hand in mine.

I soon fell asleep, as her sniffles and sons had stopped.

I wonder what type of nightmare would get her to the point of tears...

A/N: Hey we did it! Another chapter published! This one was a little shorter, but I don't wanna write the entire store in one chapter (◔‿◔) 

I wanted to mention, I'll be out of town for the next month on Thursday, so updates may be slow.

Look out for the next chapter!
