"Nagito? Darling? Are you alright in there?" Hinata stood outside the bedroom door, softly knocking on the door to get Komaeda's attention. Muffled sobs faltered, an almost inaudible voice coming from behind the door.

"Yes, I'm fine. I promise." His voice was raspy with tears. Hinata huffed, rolling his eyes.

"Love, I know you're lying. I heard crying." He frowns, feeling the pit of worry settling deeper in his stomach. Was Komaeda spiraling again? He was only met with silence once again, so he reiterated himself. "I don't believe you. I'm coming in." He opened the door, met with Komaeda's tear-stained and startled expression. Hinata starts to panic as he rushes over to him, meeting him at eye level. He cupped his face, looking frantic.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong? Why were you crying?" Komaeda sniffled again, more tears pouring down his face as shivers racked his body.

"I... I'm sorry." He looked to the floor, uncomfortable from the eye contact. Hinata frowned again, sighing slightly.

"What are you sorry for? I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong." He guides Komaeda's head so he was angled towards him, forcing eye contact.

"I'm such a horrible person. I'm so repulsive... I deserve to die. I don't know why you're still here. You should just kill me. You deserve so much better than me." Komaeda's voice was scratchy, his body still shivering out of weakness. Hinata looked down at his arms, seeing the fresh, scarlet red lines freckled all over his arms. Some were bleeding, badly.

"Nagito. Listen to me." He pulled his head closer. "You are a wonderful, amazing person, even with your flaws. I love you with my whole body and soul. You could never do anything for me to hate you." He inhaled deeply, a solemn look in his eyes. "I would rather die than be without you. You must believe me when I say that eternity with you could be the best thing to happen to me."

Komaeda sniffled, wiping his nose. "Do you really mean that...? You really love me...? Even with me being such a failure?"

"How could I not? You're like an angel." He pulled him closer, giving him a loving kiss. "Now, will you let me bandage these cuts? I really don't want any getting infected."

Komaeda's cheeked flushed red with all of the compliments, but no smile appeared. "...Okay." He allowed Hinata to assist him when getting up, letting him lead him into the bathroom.

"Could you rinse those off and then dry them? I need to find bandages." Hinata began searching through the cabinets. Komaeda complied and began gently washing off the cuts with warm water. His eyes blurred with more tears, but he kept them in. I don't deserve him. Why does he stick with me? He should've left me by now. The the nettle-like stinging that prickled all over his arms didn't bother him, as he was too zoned out to care.

He startled back into reality when Hinata began wrapping the sterile gauze around his arms. He whispered small sweet nothings into his ear as he did so, moving swiftly and gingerly. "I love you so much. I hope you realize that. You deserve the universe and more."

"...You're too sweet to me." Still, he finally smiled, that ache of despair easing, finally. Hinata pulled him into a warm embrace, twisting his arms around his waist.

"Do you want to help me cook dinner? I was making your favourite." Hinata felt himself smile when Komaeda's eyes lit up.

"That would be nice... To get my mind off of things." He watched as Hinata exited the bathroom and went towards the kitchen. He spoke up again.

"Hajime?"

"Yes, darling?" He looked back at him.

"Thank you. For being so supportive of me."
