OREGAIRU My Youth Romantic Comedy may NOT be as Wrong as I Expected

My Youth Romantic Comedy may NOT be as Wrong as I Expected

AN: Before we start: (feel free to skip this).

The FIVE STAGES OF DEALING WITH POST ANIME DEPRESSION WHEN YOUR SHIP SINKS

1. Once you break or feel like you are going to break because of it, take a rest from the anime or drop it entirely.

2. Rant about your sunken ship to friend that won't get mad at 12 AM, about why it is unfair that two characters didn't end up together. (If your friend laughs at you even better that way your sour mood is improved).

3. Look for fanfiction about your ship becoming cannon.

4. Look for another anime to watch, distract yourself to stop thinking about your broken otaku heart.

5. If the pain is still there, imagine your own scenarios where your ship sails, and if you feel like you can write about it go for it.

While watching OreGairu I became a Yuigahama x Hikigaya shipper, I knew she was not gonna end with him, but I couldn't stop myself from rooting for her. She was so nice to Hikki, to Yukinoshita, and her feelings felt so pure to me that I just had to support her, even knowing the end result. When the bomb dropped on season 3 episode 4, and I saw Yuigahama cry, I broke once more. So now, I decided to do a little one shot on what could have happened if Hikigaya had decided to stay with Yuigahama when he saw her cry in season 3 episode 4 instead of running back to the school. If you don't like this ship, and you think it might affect your OreGairu experience, feel free to leave this fanfic.

...

- "Because I promised her, I would save her someday."

Yuigahama listens as Hikki speaks on the phone after a pause during their walk. His words are almost a whisper, but she can hear the faint sounds of his voice, and somewhere in her heart, she knows who he is talking about, and what this means for her.

- "Sorry you had to wait. I'm going to see Hiratsuka-sensei for a bit."

The more he talked, the more she knew, the more her heart broke. This was the end of this part of her life. She had been stupid. She had dared to think of the future. She had dared to hope of a future in which Hikki was by her side.

- "Oh, okay. What are you going there for?"

She knew in her heart. She knew this had to do with Yukinon, but there was nothing she could do to stop it. And even if she could... Should she? No matter how much Hikki denied it, he was a helpful person, and Yuigahama knew that on more than one occasion he had made himself the enemy and the person to blame for the sake of helping others, for the sake of doing what he thought was right; even if he alienated those around him and ended hurting himself. Should she be the one to stop this, even if she knew this time he would help in the right way? No. She couldn't, that would be changing one of the best sides of him, it would be changing one of the things that made Hikki, Hikki, and she would not take part in it. It was her turn to take the fall.

- "To get a better grasp of the situation, for starters."

- "I see... But with you there, then I know things will work out in the end."
