Do You Hate Me, Nagito? (Nagito Komaeda X Reader)

Part 3 : Confrontation

Being flustered is not becoming of me.

The way back to the beach took all I could mustered just to keep a straight face. Eventhough we are walking side by side, I can honestly sense that beaming smile of his even without looking into his face.

Nagito Komaeda.

A constantly smiling, rather tall young man with messy white hair and light grey-green eyes, which held a solemn intensity and perhaps, I nonsensically thought, they hide secrets too. A person that seems quiet and well-mannered at first glance, but gives a complete different impression once you know him.

He wasn't aware of me slipping in a few glances at him and continue to walk in a calm concentrated manner, as though the previous event doesn't faltered him.

Then, without warning, the nape of his neck caught the sunlight and it glowed like the soft moonlight on water. I had the sudden urge to raise my hand and touch his smooth, pale skin.

" Hey, (Y/N)... "

I was glad that the spell was broken.

His eyes twinkled as he scrutinized me but they still hid troubling shadows. For a moment, that heavy gaze hovered between us, then he blinked it away.

" Y-Yeah? "

"Would you believe me if I... " He asks with a frown, as his hands are clasped tightly as we walk...

*Ding dong, bing bong*

Was that the school bell just now....?

As we look into the source of the sound,  Usami our-so-called homeroom teacher appeared in the monitor strapped to the coconut tree near us.

"Congratulation everyone!" She chirpped.

"It appears that everyone has finished collecting the Hope Fragments!"

We did ..?

"I'm... *sniff*.. I'm so happy.. Soooo.. I've prepared a present for everyone that'll make you all veeeeeery happy!"

"I apologize for the trouble, but please gather at the beach!"

"Tee hee hee! May shining hope be with you all!" And with that the broadcast end.

"What to do.. She said to meet at the beach.." Nagito muttered to himself. Is that going to be okay..? I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this.

As thinking won't solve anything, We decided to at least do that after we go to the beach. Well, we are going there anyway, so no harm to check out what she prepared for us.

We decided to run like rabbits scurrying into their burrow, awaiting the surprise from the announcement.

                                      ----

"You guys are the last to arrive! What are you two dilly-dallying for?" Byakuya shook his head in an exaggerated annoyed way. It seems that we do, as all the other students are already there, staring at us.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting." Nagito reply cheerfully.

As I apologize to Hajime for our late return, the other students decided to have a discussion regarding the island before the rabbit show up.

                                   ---

In the course of our discussion whether we could just cut down some trees and made a raft to escape, all of a sudden Usami revealed herself. Peevishly, she rejected the idea as it violate the guideline of the school trip. "Got it? I want everyone to get along and live peacefully on this beautiful tropical island."
