The Fire That Fuels My Soul (KomaHina)

Storytime Filled With Tears Pt. 2

Hajime's POV

     I knew it was a lot to ask for. They'd probably leave after I told them who THEY were. Buy I didn't hurt to try... right? But suddenly, the white haired guy asked, "Who are THEY? Whoever it is," the look in his eyes became dark as the blondie guy finished his sentence. "We'll kill 'em!"

    My eyes widened. "R-Really? No matter wh-who it is?" The pink haired guy nodded. Then, the colorful girl came over and sat near me on the couch, smiling a bit. "But first," she started. "We need to remind him of everything that happened."

    The others nodded before taking their seats on the couch once again. I sat on the left end of the couch, followed by white hair, then the rainbow and gray girl, blond shortie and Kool-Aid man.

    "Where should we start...?" That was Kool-Aid man. I could only tell by his voice because i wasn't looking at them, but at the floor. But that didn't last long when white hair started talking.

    "Your name is Hajime Hinata. You were part of the reserve course at Hope's Peak Academy." My eyes widened at that. "D-Did you say... H-Hope's Peak..?" I was trying to keep my voice steady but it wasn't working.

    Shortie must've noticed because he called me out on it. "Hey, why'd'ya sound so shaken up?" I looked at him, eyes wide. Thoughts surged through my head like a titalwave. Why the hell would I go to Hope's Peak? Th-They hurt me... right? That was them right?

    Everything I was feeling was unfarmiliar... It wasn't necessarily fear... but something much stronger than that... was it.......Hatred? Yes that was it. I hated hope's Peak. They were who I was running from.

    Suddenly, white hair placed his hand on my shoulder, making me flinch and look at him. I turned and our faces were... uncomfortably close. I stared into his eyes, which were confidently looking right back into mine.  I was starting to get a bit scared, because I didn't know what he was going to do. I braced myself for a punch as he softly cupped my cheek in his hand.

    "It seems that something happened in the month you've been missing. Were you in Hope's Peak the whole time?" I nodded.  His eyes filled with two things, anger and sadness. He took a few deep breaths, the gray hair spoke.

    "Would you mind telling us what happened while you were ther-" "Peko!" Blondie cut her off. He shot her a glare before giving me a slightly softer look. The girl, who I now know is named Peko, looked down and stayed silent.

    "You don't have to tell us if you don't wa-" "N-No... I'll tell you but... Could you please tell me your names first?" White hair looked at me before face palming. "Yeah, that'd probably make A LOT of sense. I'm Nagito Komaeda, I was your best friend before the incident.... We'll talk about that later."

    Color girl smiled brightly before saying, "I'm Ibuki Mioda! I'm pretty much Komaeda's body guard!" Nagito laughed nervously. Peko stood and bowed suddenly, making me jump. "Hello. I am Peko Pekoyama."

    Short blondie stood next to Peko. "Yo. The name's Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu." I nodded and looked at Kool-Aid man. "'Sup! I'm Kazuichi Souda!" I scanned the room, looking at all of them. It was difficult remembering all of their names, but I really did try. I fell deep into my thoughts before being pulled out by... uhm... Fuyuhiko?

    "Now it's your turn." I took a deep breath and exhaled shakily. I looked all of them. shaking a bit, gesturing for them to sit. They did just that and looked at me, waiting for the story to start.

    "It all started when I woke up. The only thing I could see was flames and bodies. There were dead bodies everywhere. Heh... what a wonderful sight to wake up to. I was almost unable to move and could barely breathe. And I realized, I couldn't remember anything... and I had no idea why. I didn't know who or where I was. I was s-so scared... I-I didn't know what t-" "Hajime."

    I was cut off by Nagito, who was looking at me with a look of concern. I the realizes, I was crying. A lot. More than I ever had before. I wiped my tears and looked away. "I'm not even close t-to done yet... So let me finish." "But you were crying so mu-" "I want to tell you. Now listen."

    He shut his mouth and got ready to listen again. No one else said a word. I took one more deep breath and got ready to continue my story.
