【Hajime's Pov】

I woke up to something hard and...bony? I opened my eyes to see Nagito snuggled into my chest. I jolted in surprise and embarrassment, which seemed to wake the small marshmallow up.

"H-huh?" Nagito opened his eyes, his face quickly turning red as he shifted away from the chest.

"What? Ohh...yeah. " His voice was quiet and tired, he also appeared to have remembered how we got in this situation in the first place.

"What time is it? Oh, and sorry for waking you up." I smiled nervously.

Nagito looked past my shoulder at his clock, "Four." he answered simply.

"Shit, four? I told Chiaki I'd talk to her once we got on the island..." I bent my head down sadly and sighed before looking back up at the now confused Nagito.

"Huh? How? Isn't she at the Neo World Program at the foundation?" He furrowed his eyebrows while staring at me.

"W-well the foundation gave me a PC so that I can talk to her Alter Ego." I cursed at myself for stuttering, I got easily nervous when contradicted....

"Ah, I see. Do you think I can talk to her as well? I wanted to apologize for inciting her death." He looked down mournfully.

"Well, sure. I'm sure she'd be happy to talk to you." I put my hand on top of Nagito's, which seemed to fluster him.

"Thank you, Hajime." Nagito gave me a warm smile, which I returned.

"I'll have to head over to my cottage to get it, since it was with all my other stuff." I started walking towards the door.

"Can't I come with you? So you don't have to walk back." Nagito stopped me.

"Er, sure. But I think I left my cottage a bit messy..." I put my hand behind my head nervously.

"Oh, I don't mind." Nagito reassured me.

"Alright, well let's go then." I opened his cottage door and stepped out before Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi stopped and looked Nagito and I up and down.

"Um... Didn't you two just start dating?" Fuyuhiko raised an eyebrow.

"Wooow, no time wasted huh?" Kazuichi looked away while shaking his head.

What the fuck were they talking about? I stood there, dumbfounded for a moment, before it clicked to me. My tie was off, my shirt didn't sit right and Nagito's jacket was crooked.

"H-huh?! No, we just slept together! Wa-wait no I meant we just had nap at his place!" I waved my hands in front of me while trying to explain why we both came out of Nagito's cottage with our clothes messed up.

"Don't you think that's a bit hypocritical, my dark prince?" A deep voice came from the other end of the cottages, which turned Kazuichi a ghostly pale.

"Dark prince? Fuck nah... " Fuyuhiko shook his head.

"Let us go, Kazuichi! I heard there was skull boba at Rocketpunch! We came here to get you for our date." Sonia smiled sweetly while intertwining her fingers.

"Date..?" I asked whispered in shock.

"Um- I- Uh... I-I've gotta go guys, bye!!" Kazuichi took Sonia and Gundham's hands and raced out of Mirai.

"I'm fuckin leavin'." Fuyuhiko waved his hand and turned around to go back to his cottage.

Nagito and I just stood there for a moment.

"What the hell." Nagito broke our silence.

"I have no idea." I responded bleakly.

"Let's go over to my cottage, Chiaki's waiting." I reminded us before walking to the direction of my cottage. Once we had gotten there, Nagito folded his jacket onto a nearby chair and joined me sitting on the bed.

"Well, she is." I opened up a blocky laptop which powered on. First, everything was in shades of green before color started to fade into it before it looked more like a picture. After a moment Chiaki walked into view, she was at Monokuma Rock, where she respawned after dying.

"Hello, Hajime. Oh- And hi Nagito." She smiled and waved.

"Hello, Chiaki. If I may ask, why are you at Monokuma Rock?" Nagito asked.

"I respawned here after my execution, I was able to do that since I didn't have a real body and all of you that did had left."

"Ah, I see." Nagito nodded in understanding.

"I know that this really doesn't mean anything...but I wanted to apologize for getting you executed." Nagito stared at the camera solemnly.

"I forgive you. Though your reasons weren't good, they weren't exactly evil. Besides, I'm dead anyway. It...really didn't do much." Chiaki put her hand on her heart, but her expression was uneasy.

"Oh, also, I wanted to know how everyone has been doing. Are you all okay?" She asked. Nagito and I looked at each other nervously. This question was inevitable.

"Hiyoko is...dead. Mikan killed her a couple days ago." I answered her sadly.

"O-oh my- Really? That's..." Chiaki was shocked and heartbroken. Someone had still been confined to despair.

"U-um...well me and Hajime are dating now. That's good." Nagito quickly took my hand and raised it in front of the camera.

"E-eh?!" My face turned extremely hot as I looked at him with wide eyes.

"Oh! Well that's nice." Chiaki smiled at us while clapping.

"Even though I'm dead, I'm still a god at matchmaking." Chiaki smirked while intertwining her fingers, giving a villainous vibe. The three of us laughed for a moment before a sharp stroke of genius went through me.

"Hajime? Are you okay?" Nagito put his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah...headache..." I held my head in my hands, recoiling.

I looked back up at the laptop.

"But I think I have an idea to bring you back."
