【Ｎａｇｉｔｏ＇ｓ　Ｐｏｖ】

I...just... Why did I do that? Why? I mean, he didn't seem to mind but... I paced around my cabin, thinking about my previous behavior. What might the others think? I wouldn't want to hurt Hajime's reputation... Oh no...what if my luck takes action? I think Hajime would be my final straw. Oh what have I done...

After writing a quick entry in my diary, I decided to walk around the ship, to attempt to clear my head. While going through a hallway, I overheard Fuyuhiko, Kazuichi, and Hajime's conversation. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I was curious on what subject was.

"Do you even WANT to date him? You can't just kiss somebody like that bro. No matter who it is. It ain't cool." Fuyuhiko lectured Hajime.

"Yeah, if you do, you've got some weird ass taste man... And friends datin' friends is weird as fuck." Kazuichi stated.

"Well- I- I'm not e-entirely sure..." Hajime stuttered uncomfortably.

"Well you better start bein' sure. You can't lead people on man. It just ain't right bro." Fuyuhiko continued scolding Hajime.

"Well, even if I did, could you not treat us like Sonia and Gundham? I kinda don't want you screaming, 'HOLDING HANDS BEFORE MARRIAGE?!' at us." Hajime mocked Fuyuhiko, which was quickly responded by a low growl.

"Soooo you admit you're tryna get with Nagibro..?" I could hear Kazuichi's grin.

"W-What?! I- I never said t-that..." The brunette was stuttering again. What a tsundere.

I decided to walk over to where they were after listening for a while, turning to them like I was surprised I was there.

"Oh! Hello everyone." I smiled at them, causing the two boys to laugh and Hajime to look away nervously.

"Would ya speak of the devil." The short blonde smirked mischievously.

"Anything you wanna say, Hajigay?" Kazuichi nudged Hajime's shoulder.

"Haji-?! You motherfucker..." Hajime raised his fist angrily at Souda before turning to look up at me.

"W-well, I guess I have something to say." He broke contact after a few seconds, his face having turned to a bright red.

"Well, what is it?" I tilted my head to the side, acting as if I didn't know what he wanted to ask.

"Let's talk about it," Hajime glared at his two friends who were now whispering to each other before turning back to me "privately."

Hajime and I walked over to one part of the railing, the same one we talked at the other day, before he turned up to me.

"Nagito, I- " Hajime started.

"It's fine." I responded before he could finish.

"H-huh?" Hajime looked confused at my answer.

"I mean, it's okay if you don't love mere rubbish like me. It's fully understandable. Someone as unworthy as me is lucky to have you breathe the same air as you." I blushed a bit while smiling.

"What? That's not true at all! You're very important to me." Hajime frowned.

"Really, Hajime, it's okay. There's no need for you to pity someone like me. It's not like I'll be here to sulk very long." I spoke the last sentence quietly, although Hajime definitely heard me.

"Nagito! That's-" Hajime cringed a bit, taking a step back.

"You don't need to pretend, or make an excuse. I know nobody loves me. I'm used to it now anyway." I looked over to the waves. Constantly crashing into each other. My attention quickly snapped to Hajime when he took my hands into his own.

"But, I love you Nagito!" Hajime seemed a bit pissed off at me judging by his expression. Most likely from my previous words. I was taken aback by this.

"And, I already know this, but...I want...to hear you say it. Do you love me too, Nagito?" Hajime looked me dead in my eyes. I wanted to look away, but I fought the feeling.

"Of course, from the bottom of my heart, I'm truly in love with the soul that sleeps inside you." I was tense, I knew I loved Hajime, but hearing myself say it to him directly sounded weird. Not right.

Hajime took a few steps forward and hugged me tightly, resting his chin in the crook of my neck. I snaked my arms around his strong body, smiling. Hajime...loved me back. Finally, I had the hope that I wouldn't die alone. That I was finally loved again. After so long.

I was just hoping that my luck wouldn't turn this on me.
