Save Me from Myself [Komahina fanfic]

Save Me from Myself

It was just another ordinary evening spent on Jabberwock Island. Of course, if "ordinary" means spending time on this uninhibited island, trying to kill one of your friends in order to get out of here.

Hinata was gradually getting used to this lifestyle, even if he didn't agree with it at all. He tried not to think about it too much. He had to stay as sane as possible, or he would just fall into the pits of despair, just like some of his classmates.

His routine was pretty much the same every day. Wake up, visit the island, spend some time with the others and try to socialize and then go to bed. Of course, this would always happen, unless a crime occured. Solving the mystery, while knowing that failure might lead you to death was not an easy task. Fortunately, there were always people that he could count on, such as Nanami or Sonia, who were really nice and always helped with the investigation. Souda and Kuzuryuu were also guys that he could have a pretty decent conversation with. But not Komaeda. Never Komaeda. Everytime he spoke with him, he would get chills running down his spine. His whole carefree attitude, his ever-present smile... When he first met Komaeda, Hinata was sure that those were signs of him being a good guy, but the first trial proved him wrong.

Still, Komaeda's tragic backstory made Hinata feel somehow bad for him. No matter how messed up he was, no one deserved something like that. Still, there was no excuse for all the things that he had done. Hinata couldn't help but wonder, would he still be the same if he had a different childhood?

"Guess there's no point in thinking about the past." Hinata thought.

Suddenly, on the monitor in his room appeared none other than Monokuma. 'Ahem, Hope's Peak Academy's School Trip Executive Committee has an announcement to make. It is now 10 p.m. Please return to your rooms and relax. Let the sound of the ocean gently rock you to sleep.'

"Can't believe it's already 10 p.m. Just another useless day on this island. Will this nightmare ever end?" Hinata sighed.

He was really tired after visiting the new island, so he decided to head straight to bed.

"At least sleeping will help me forget about everything for a while."

It was about 2 a.m. when Hinata heard a really loud knock on the door. This has never happened before, so he was quite surprised, yet scared at the same time.

"What if someone's here to kill me?" he thought. It wouldn't be impossible after all. Everyone else was probably sleeping, so they wouldn't see or hear anything.

'Who is it?' Hinata shouted. After all, why would anyone bother him at this hour?

'Hinata-kun, it's me. Please open the door, it's something important.'

This voice sounded so familiar. Maybe a little too familiar. Could it be...?

"No. He can't be here."

Yet he was.

The knocking became even louder after a while.

'Hinata-kun, I promise I'm not going to do anything. Just please open the door and I will explain everything.'

"Sure, he says so, but how can I trust him after all he has done?"

Hesitantly, Hinata headed to the door. He opened the door slightly and looked outside. That's when he saw him. The one he disliked the most. The guy capable of anything, just for the sake of his so called "hope".

But there was something he never expected to see. Komaeda was...crying. Or was he? But those tears didn't look fake at all. Plus, his voice did sound a bit shaky.
