Teddy Bear [Danganronpa]

Chapter 5 (pt3.5)

Smile at Hope in the Name of Despair
pt 3.5

Hajime made his way to Monokuma rock ready for the final trial. He tried to clear his head and only focus on the current murder but he couldn't. No matter how hard he tried his mind returned to Y/n and the mystery surrounding him. The thought of Y/n being the murderer circled his head but quickly dissipated when he figured it was someone trying to frame him. Nakama's warning also came to his mind, there was no doubt Y/n was a secretive person and could potentially be dangerous. However, even if Hajime wanted to he was sure he wouldn't be able to just stay away from Y/n. He knew somehow he would always return to Y/n. All he could do was hope that Y/n was the same way and would return to him no matter what.

Up ahead a figure came into view. It was the very person that had been on his mind all day. Hajime caught up to them in hopes of finding answers.

"Y/n! I really need to talk to you about something." Hajime said.

"Finally admitting your crush on me?" He smirked.

"What? No!" He shook his head and took out the note. "It's about this, I found it in Nagito's cottage."

Hajime handed Y/n the note. The boy opened it and a look of surprise followed. "What?"

"Do you know what that means?" Hajime asked him.

"No, I mean, I'm real. Right?" Y/n put a hand over his chest to feel his heartbeat. "See you can feel it." He grabbed Hajimes hand and placed it above his heart . "I'm real."

"Yeah." Hajime breathed out as a blush grew on his face.

Y/n removed Hajimes hand but still held it. "I have to show you something." He then quickly pulled Hajime to the cottages.

"It's can't wait?!" Hajime asked knowing the trial would be starting soon.

"No! I can't let you think anything bad of me during the trial." Y/n slammed his cottage door open pulling Hajime in. He threw open the closet door revealing hundreds of papers with the words "Y/n's not real". "I found them in Nagito's cottage."

"I don't understand....Y/n......why would Nagito do this? What was going on with you two?" The brunette asked.

"He thought I was someone else, that in some twisted way I'd agree with him. As soon as I failed to fit into that view I guess he figured I wasn't real." Y/n answered and kneeled to the ground. He picked up one of the pieces. "I'm still trying to understand this but you have to trust me...you have to..."

Hajime kneeled down beside him. "I trust you Y/n, always."

He looked at Hajime with a gentle and genuine smile. "I'm glad you're my friend Hajime."

The brunette enjoyed Y/n's smile but he didn't like the word, "friend". He loved to have Y/n's approval and attention, he found the toxicologist interesting and admired him. Though Hajime at this moment realized his feelings towards Y/n weren't just platonic.

Hajime looked to the side with a far away look. Y/n immediately noticed and could guess what he was thinking. He took Hajimes hand tilting his head slightly. "I-I didn't mean- Um...."

Hajime looked back at Y/n and realized he to didn't just like him platonically. "Y/n...you like me don't you? As more than a friend?"

"Uh- t-that's such an odd question." He gulped.

Hajime's hand reached up to Y/n's face. "I like you too."

Snapping out of a nearly frozen state Y/n leaned forward bringing their lips together. Hajime reciprocated the kiss in an instant and brought himself closer to Y/n. The brunette placed his thumb on Y/n's chin and guided his mouth open for access. He pushed Hajime down on his back making sure not to break the kiss. Y/n broke away from the kiss and looked down at Hajime as he licked his lips. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his chest, he looked up at Y/n as a smirk filled his face. Hajime struggled to breathe and began coughing.

"Oh, Haji..." Y/n said in a low almost seductive voice. "I thought you were smarter than that."

The boy then pulled a knife from Hajime's chest.

"Y/n....why?" He gasped.

Suddenly Nagito appeared from behind Y/n. There was a large gaping hole in his chest. "I tried to tell you."

"No."

"Hajime!" Y/n stood in front of Hajime looking a little confused. "What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Huh?" Hajime felt the paper in his pocket. "It can wait till after the trial."

"Okay." Y/n nodded. "I'm going to head to Monokuma rock."

Hajime watched as Y/n walked off and rubbed his face. "I really need to stop being so paranoid."

Yoooo! I promise Pt 4 will be out soon. I've got a lot going on rn and my inspiration comes and goes. Originally I wasn't going to add this part but I thought fuck it. So I hope you enjoyed!
