Book Buddies : Komahina fanfiction (danganronpa)

6. Hospital visit

Dear Diary,

My friend Hajime has a crush on me! Why? Sure I may like him too... but neither of us seem to have the confidence to tell each other this!

I have too tell him my feelings at some point though! I can't have my feeling stay like this forever! I have to make sure that he wrote his true feelings in this book of his!

I hope he truely does like me back...

-Nagito Komeada

Hajime spent the rest of the weekend and Monday inside the hospital. I stayed alongside him for as long as I could everyday : He asked for me to stay with him when I left on the first day. According to Hajime, I am being a very good friend to him. Staying along side him as he was recovering in the hospital was the least I could do!

We had no school on Monday because the teachers had been doing a training day. Lucky for me because I could visit Hajime at the hospital on his last day. I had promised him to bring two books with me again. He wanted me to read them with him as a sort of friendship exercise. I didn't mind. I had already sat on the bed with him so I didn't mind. He smelled nice anyway.

I looked at my shelf and decided to bring: a book about four school girls who fight for the love of a boy, and a book about five boys who travel space with robots. Personally, I prefer the second one but I had no other book that wasn't too violent. I had to read it with a guy who has a crush on me after all! What if he stops liking me because of my book choice!

Then again Hajime has no clue that I know he likes me... maybe I should ask him today when we are reading.

I had a long, warm shower and got dressed into my usual clothes (green jacket, T shirt and jeans) since I barely wore anything else. Hajime had to wear what the hospital had given him to wear. Appearently it was 'hospital rules' for him to wear a gown and have him be revealed to the public eye. He decided to keep his covers on him even if it was hot. Better for both of us that way.

I said my goodbyes to my dogs and left the house with my books and bag. I visited the shops on my way there and bought a Cola for me and a bottle of orange juice for Hajime to drink. I would be reading with him for quite a long time after all!

Ahh. The front of the hospital. I've been here everyday for quite a few days now. It felt almost natural to find Hajime's room (which I had memorised the directs to). Yet again when I walked in the room Hajime was sleeping in his bed. This happened yesterday too! This hospital must take a lot of him. I feel had for him so much. He never deserved to be in here.

I sat down on the floor and leaned my head on Hajime's body. I know he probably wouldn't mind it. If he did I can just pretend to be sleeping too. I looked up at the whitewashed ceiling and thought of Hajime and my favourite books. He was in a really deep sleep and my face turned red as I watched him lie in the bed.

"Hajime," I mumbled as I messed with his spiked hair," why can't you tell me your feelings... if I had the guts I'd tell you whilst your awake how I feel about you..." I decided to shut up so people didn't hear my gay thoughts as they walked past in the halls. I took my hand off Hajime and started fiddling with the tiles on the cold floor. The rest of the room wasn't occupied so me and Hajime always did whatever we wanted.

It was fun being around him like this. I want him to come to my house and hang out for a while in the future. That would surely be a day to remember! Surely he wouldn't mind sleeping over at my house or me staying at his house. Now that I think of it, Hajime never spoke about his home life... not like I did much but there wasn't much to talk about except funny stuff my dogs decide to do.

"Good morning, Nagito. Nice to see you here again. I was getting lonely yesterday night so it's nice to see a familiar face!" Hajime smiled. I returned the expression and have a faint smile "good morning sleepyhead." I flicked his ear," you where put for a while. Did anything happen?"."Nah I'm just a heavy sleeper I guess..."

We both laughed as I pulled out the two books for my bag. "These are our books for today, Hajime. Like em?"

Hajime swiped them from my hands and observed them thoroughly. After a few mining's of silence he pulled the book up about the girls : as if he was saying 'hey I approve of this book let us commence the reading!'.

He placed the other book down on the table next to him and asked in a childlike voice, "can we read this one first?". I nodded and I lied down on the bed so we could balance the book on our legs as we read. Our faces turned a light pink but we didn't mind being in each other's company. He was nice to me when most people weren't. He's cool...

We read the book fully for about five hours. It hadn't turned dark outside yet but we knew visiting time was almost over.

"Hey Hajime can I have your phone number so I can text you at home and stuff?" I asked. "Yeah sure!" Hajime said as he took his phone out to look for his number so I could copy it down.

"Leaving times are over, I'll text you when I get home so we can talk!" I said.

We both waved our goodbyes as I walked out of the hospital room. Hajime was being let out tomorrow so he could go to school.

I'm going to make sure he never gets hurt again.
