[Hajime's POV]

It was a sunny day at Hope's peak, the light was shining through my dorm window next to my bed as I sat up and looked out of the window as I streched and yawned. I fell back on my bed, a sudden feeling of drowsiness taking over as I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

I was woken up by a few knock on my door. I slowly sat up, using my arms as support as I looked ut of the window confused, it was dark.

The knocking on the door got a bit louder, and a voice appeared with them "Hinata-kun? Are you there?". It was a familiar voice that made me smile, it was Nagito! I opened my mouth to speak, and that's when I noticed how dry my mouth and throat were, but I shrugged it off and replied with a "Y-yeah! Wait a moment". My voice was raspy and my throat hurt when I said that.

I slowly got out of bed and put my feet on the cold wooden floor and stood up. That's when I noticed how weak I felt, I had to lean against the wall for support as I walked towards the the door and opened it. "H-hey Nagito!" I said, my voice as raspy as before. He looked at me with a concerned expression "Are you okay?" He asked, I slightly smiled, he always made me loved with how much care he gave me. I nodded "I'm fine, why are you asking?" I answered. "I haven't seen you all day so I got concerned... Are you sure you are okay?" He asked as he put his hand on my forehead, which took me off guard. "You are burning up!" He said as he pulled away his hand and walked past me and entered my room. I watched him entered confused, what was he doing? "I am?" I asked "Yes! You clearly have a fever... If you don't mind, I could take care of you... but I'm sure you wouldn't want someone like me to take care of you" he chuckled, the chuckle was clearly forced and dry... I hated it when he did that, I cared about him so much and it hurt everytime he said something bad about himself. I closed the door and walked towards the bed and sat down on it, I then looked at Nagito, seeing his confused look made me chuckle "It would be great if you took care of me"

[Nagito's POV]

That chuckle... it made my heart melt, his voice was so sweet even though it was raspy, every word he said made my heart melt... but I don't deserve him.

I smiled, I didn't know how to take care of a sick person, but I still wanted to help. I walked towards the bed and sat down on the edge "Lay down" I said in a calm voice, he did as he was told. "Do you need anything? Water? Food?" He chuckled again, I felt my heart melt again. "Some water would be nice" I nodded. As I was standing up, I felt something pull on my jacket, so I looked back "Actually... I would rather have some company. I spent all day sleeping, I should probably socialise!" I nodded again and sat back down. He started sitting up, which made me jolt up and gently push him back down "You need to rest" I said. He looked at me with a small frown... Oh no, did I mess up? I knew I should have called someone like Mikan, she would have done a much better job.. I didn't move, I kept my hand on his chest and stared down at him, as something unexpected happend...

[Hajime's POV]

I started sitting up, but was pushed back down by Nagito, that small touch, which would most likely be insignificant to other people, made my heart beat get faster. I slightly frowned, he was so close to me, I couldn't take my eyes off of his face... particularly his lips.

I couldn't hold myself back, I didn't expect myself to do that either! I gently pushed his hands off of my chest and sat up, not letting go of his hands. I stared at his confused look for a moment, before pulling him by his hands closer to my face and kissing him. It was a quick kiss, I almost instantly pulled away as I started to feel different emotions at the same time, and the thoughts in my head started going wild

Was this a mistake? Maybe he doesn't like me? Will he hate me now? I felt regret, but at the same time I was so happy I got to kiss him. "...I love you" I mumbled as I stared right into his eyes, nervously waiting for his response

[Nagito's POV]

It was so unexpected, so sudden, I was dumbfounded by this. It took some time to process what just happended, but after I did, millions of thoughts started going through my head.

Did that just happen? Does that mean he loves me? Maybe that was an accident? Maybe he is just hallucinating, he must be imagining some else... yeah, that's it. He wouldn't ever love someone like me... But what he said, snapped me out of my thoughts.

"...I love you" I heard him say. Did he actually mean it? I was so confused, but yet so happy. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. I felt so many emotions at the same time, it was so overwhelming. I felt myself tear up, and soon I felt tears roll down my cheeks.. those were tears of happiness though.

Hajime kept staring at me, his frown dissapeared and turned into a look of concern, I had to speak, I didn't want to worry him.

"I love you too" I said, my voice quiet and a bit shaky, this was so much to take in. I saw a smile appear on his face as he pulled me down into a hug, pulling me down on top of him as he did so. Neither of us cared though.

I felt so happy to be in his embrace, for once, I actually felt loved. I rolled over to lay next to him, he didn't stopped hugging me, neither did I.

We eventually drifted off to sleep in each other's embrace. Not many words were said, but we didn't need words, they couldn't express how much we loved each other, how much we cared... No words could explain how happy I felt that day, the day I confessed my love.
