edit 3/16/21: Trigger Warning: sexual assault, mentions of homophobia

it was brought to my attention that this oneshot has not been tagged properly and that is my fault, I apologize. I wrote this before I knew of what trigger warnings were, but now that I know what they are. been debating for the past few minutes whether I should take this chapter down since I don't really like the way I portrayed such a heavy topic in a light-hearted, non-serious manner. if anyone wants this to be taken down because of such, shoot me a dm and I'll do it ASAP. 

thank you for understanding, and I apologize for those who felt affected.

stay safe

Nagito's Third Person P.O.V.

"Welcome! Please feel free to look at all the animals!" The woman at the front desk announced cheerfully. 

An albino and a brunette had entered the front door of a pet store, the white-haired boy cheerfully prancing in, while the brown-haired male, not so much.

"So Hajime, what's your favorite kind of animal?" Nagito questioned his boyfriend.

"You mean as in generally? Or as in what type I would like as a pet?" He raised an eyebrow.

"In general." Nagito hummed as he started looking at the caged animals.

Birds, reptiles, and many other varieties of animals filled the store, filling the empty building with their endless noises.

"Probably cats." He shrugged, placing his hands in his pockets.

Nagito's face feigned shock.

"Hajime! Do you have any idea what you're saying?! Dogs are WAAAY better than cats. They're more playful and much more of a companion compared to cats who just sit on the couch and sleep twenty-four seven." He rolled his eyes.

"I like cats."

Nagito frowned in disappointment.

"I guess there's nothing to be said then," he wandered off to the puppy corner, cooing at the playful brown balls of fluff that rolled on the ground, batting their paws at each other.

"Unless you would like to persuade me so?" Hajime spoke up.

"Huh?" The albino turned away from the puppies, staring directly into Hajime's olive eyes in confusion.

The brunette smirked.

"Let's propose a deal. If you win a game of rock, paper, scissors, then I'll agree to share your passion for dogs. If I win though," His smirk widened, "then you will have to dress up as a dog and act like one to persuade me that canines are better than felines."

Nagito's mouth opened and closed, unable to form the right words.

"But-"

Hajime folded his arms and sighed.

"I thought you would agree. It would be a win-win for you either way. It'll just be more embarrassing if I won. And you're the Ultimate Luckster right? So it's a guarantee that you'll win."

The words fell off his tongue before he knew it. 

"I agree."

Hajime smiled at his boyfriend. 

"Glad you accepted. I'll lose anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Best out of one." Hajime readied his hands.

That was actually a lie. Hajime was the one who would be victorious. Nagito knew that already since he was stuck in a cycle of luck and bad luck. His good luck had already benefited him this morning when a truck smashed into the vending machine he was using, spilling out tons and tons of Dr. Hopper soda cans.
