Hajime hadn't come back just yet, so Nagito stayed behind with Mikan to wait for him, Chiaki, and Sonia.
"Uh-um...I-I'm glad you're b-back K-Komaeda....W-we missed you." There was a warmth in Mikan's voice that melted Komaeda. "Thank you Tsumiki-san. I missed you guys too."
Hajime was running towards the table, catching both of the two waiting's eyes. "Huff....huff...did they go to the table already?" Hajime asked, panting. Nagito nodded and chuckled at how red and out of breath Hajime was.
"L-let's go to the t-tables then...I-I'm sorry y-you have t-to t-tolerate me!" Nagito rubbed Mikan's arm, consoling her. "I'm glad to have your company Tsumiki-san. Thanks for staying with me." Mikan lead the two to the tables and they sat with her, Chiaki, Fuyuhiko, Kazuichi, Sonia, and Gundham.
"Hello ladies and gentleman! In order to raise money for this charity, we've gathered some very gifted musicians to play for you all today! Please welcome, Sayaka Maizono, Ibuki Mioda, and Kaede Akamatsu, here to show their performance. The three girls came on stage, smiling.
"Hey all of you out there!" Sayaka spoke first. "We're here to put on a performance like never before!" Kaede said. "Get ready for it!" Ibuki shouted, startling the guests. Kaede's fingers started pressing down on the keys, first slowly, but soon going faster and faster, setting the tone. Ibuki casually strummed her guitar, glancing at Sayaka to begin singing. The melody was at first soft and slow, but as they got more into it, the song became loud and clear for the whole room to hear.
"This is insane! They're really good!" Nagito said, nudging Hajime. The brunette nodded, loving how sweet yet sour the tune was. From another table, the two boys could hear a purple haired and a raven haired male whispering. Is that Oma-kun and Saihara-kun? Hajime thought to himself. He then realized that Kaede was good friends with the two of them and, in fact, her entire class, as well as Sayaka's, had a reserved table where they sat.
The entire performance went with the sweet sounds of Sayaka's voice, the soft sound of Kaede's piano, and Ibuki's rhythmic strums of her guitar. After they played a couple of songs, the performance ended and people were free to chat amongst themselves. This was different from Mioda-san's usual style, no doubt, but it was nice, Nagito thought, wondering if she often played like that.
Ibuki ran over to her friends in excitement. "How was it? Did you like Ibuki's performance! Akamatsu-chan and Maizono-chan were amazing too weren't they?" Everyone happily commented on their favorite parts of the concert, humming the soft melody to themselves or yelling it out loud on the tables. (Mostly Nekomaru, Ibuki, and Leon)
Nagito sat at his chair, smiling to himself. I'm glad I found Hinata-kun. I'm such a lucky person...Ultimate Lucky Student.. Mahiru walked up to Nagito and sat down next to him. "Hey Ko. It's nice to see you again." Nagito nodded in agreement. "Ah...I guess there's no point in small talk. Did Hinata-kun tell you about our breakup?" Nagito shrugged. "I kind of found out. He told me afterwards though. You should tell the others though...You're only hurting Hinata-kun, Saionji-chan, and yourself by not telling them." She stiffened at the mention of Hiyoko.
"Y-You know about Saionji and I? Did Hinata-kun tell you?" I shook my head. "I kind of just found that out too. When you end up getting as many secrets as I have, you can see other people's secrets too." Mahiru guiltily looked down. "Sorry Komaeda, but I can't really smile much right now. I'm happy to see you again, but I'm really not having a great day. I already made Saionji mad and now she won't talk to me, the one person I used to talk to about my problems is too awkward to talk to me now since we broke up, everybody around me is having their perfect peachy lives and I'm just.....not. I don't know...god now I'm dragging you down too. I'm sorry."
Nagito grabbed a hold of Mahiru's hand. "Don't be sorry Koizumi-san. Apologize to Saionji-chan and tell everybody that you and Hinata-kun broke up. I assure you, you'll feel much better. And if you ever have problems, you can always talk to me." Mahiru looked up at Nagito, tears in her eyes. "Thank you Komaeda. Can I have your number then? That way I can always just talk. I'm..really glad you're back. If you ever need any help, don't hesitate to ask me. I can't thank you enough for this and I'll do anything to repay you."
Nagito wiped the tears off of Mahiru's face and stood up. "You should go tell the others now. The sooner the better, right? I'll see you soon?" Mahiru smiled, her freckles popping. "Definitely!"

Nagito walked to where Kokichi was typing away on his phone. "Hey angsty teen. How've you been?" Kokichi asked, not looking up. "Not too bad. How about you depressed baby?" Kokichi snickered and put his phone down. "Pretty good myself! Heard you came out of hiding for the pretty boy that's always stealing my boyfriend." Nagito chuckled. "Ah, truth be told, I found him by that creek we used to go to together. He cut his hand up, but it's hardly even noticeable."
Kokichi sighed and patted the chair his 'boyfriend' ad occupied not too long ago. "Lemme get your digits Ko! I need to spam you with memes at twelve am! Oh, and also text you to meet up and stuff like that, you know?" Nagito handed his phone to Kokichi and he entered his own number into Kokichi's purple phone.

Kokichi got up from his seat and wrapped his arms around Shuichi's waist as he was talking to Makoto. "You're not leaving with this egg boy, are you?" Kokichi shouted loudly. Shuichi was incredibly red and Makoto was scratching his head, Kirigiri standing right beside him.
Hajime soon spotted Komaeda and sat down beside him. "Wanna go now? I did promise to get you something delicious afterall." Nagito's eyes lit up as soon as the words had left his mouth.
Hajime chuckled and the two left the large building, waving goodbye as they did. As soon as Hajime got into the car, Nagito threw something into the street. "What the hell was that?!" Hajime asked, bumping his head on the roof of the car when he had heard the shatter. "Some guy gave me a bottle of pills and said it'd do things to me. Wanted to dispose of it before I got in trouble or something." Hajime stared at the broken bottle towards the road.
The two were silent for a second, but started giggling, then chuckling, turning into a full on laughter. "Okay then. Let's just go get you something. What do you want to get?" Nagito thought on it for a minute. There were many things he hadn't had in awhile, but more than anything, he was dying for hot pot and taiyaki.
"Hot pot and taiyaki!" Nagito yelled, clasping his hands over his mouth. "Hot pot and taiyaki it is! Let's go!" Hajime started the car and glanced at Nagito. Nagito's face was slightly pink and his hair was a bit messy. He clutched his phone tightly and his smile was very crooked. "Are you okay Ko?" Hajime asked, turning to look at Nagito.
"Hm? Oh, I'm fine! Let's just- Hinata-kun in front of you!" As Hajime was halfway into turning his head, a car slammed into the front of his car, sending both of the boys backwards into their seat.
