Goodbye, Cinderella: Alternative Ending Two

A/N: This is Ending Two: where Nagito and Hajime get together.
————————————————————————
"I thought you hated him." Chiaki asked in a curious manner. Nagito's face blushed at that statement.

"At one point, yes...but now...it's a different story." Nagito replied, clearing his throat. He had been mentally unavailable in the last few days. With the confession to Chiaki and his harboured feelings for Hajime, Nagito had no idea where to go with his life. Unfortunately, he didn't see a relationship with her. She was just too much as a friend to destroy it.

Chiaki smiled in midst of tears and hugged him gently. "Nagito...thank you." In the instant, she understood the pain in his eyes. It was lust...for him. "You know...all I ever wanted was for you to be happy."

"Huh?" Nagito asked. "What do you mean?"

"You love Hajime, don't you?"

Nagito was surprised. How could she say something so blunt and be calm about it was baffling. "But...but I thought-"

"No. It isn't right." Chaiki interrupted. "I love the both of you equally, but your love is stronger. I can tell."

"Nanami..." His voice cracked as he started to feel hot tears down his cheeks. He returned her gesture as he felt a huge weight being lifted off his soul.

While everyone was enjoying the fireworks, Nagito sat alone under a tree. His mind was so clouded that they felt muted. Everything that had happened with Chiaki played continuously in his conscious.

"Hey...you sitting by yourself again?" Hajime called out, spooking the white haired man.

"I happen to like sitting alone." Nagito stuttered a comeback as Hajime sat down. "Why do you care anyway?"

"Chiaki said that you needed to talk to me about something. It seemed urgent too." Hajime shrugged. "I mean, I can go if you want."

Nagito didn't know what to tell him. Of course he wanted to stay, but he wasn't ready to give his confession. He just realized his feelings not even a few moments ago, for crying out loud.

Just as Hajime was about to walk away, Nagito immediately grabbed his arm. He couldn't look at him as he could already feel his heart race.

"Please...don't go..." Nagito muttered loud enough for Hajime to hear. "Stay..."

Hajime obliged his request and sat down next to him just as the fireworks lit up brighter. Nagito still couldn't look at him, cursing himself for his red face.

"Nagito? I saw you and Chiaki talking earlier at the takoyaki stand." Hajime broke the silence. "She looked just like you: nervous as hell. What happened?"

"She...confessed her love for me." Nagito muttered. "I turned her down though. We both know why."

"Yeah...don't want Crazy Nagito to ruin the fun."

"This is serious, Hinata. Why would anyone wanna date a lunatic like me?" He snapped. "I mean...she knows what I am capable of doing."

"I know. I saw it firsthand."

Nagito's memories fled back to that one night in the cabin when...well, something that he would like to forget. "Hey, Hinata? Did you hate me? Because of that?"

"Nah. I mean, I am used to guys and girls pouncing on me."

Nagito looked at him distraught. "Wait...did you say guys?"

"Oh, right. I never really told you. I am bisexual, Nagito. Dudes and chicks all work for me. What? You thought I was flirting with you just to piss you off?"

"Uh...no..." Nagito replied, completely unsure. Of course, judging someone isn't a good thing to do, but the last thing he was expecting was that.

Hajime chuckled at Nagito's reaction and put his arm over his shoulder. "Hey...come on...don't get nervous."

"I am not!...no..."

"Hmm?"

"Hinata. Chiaki was right. I do have something to tell you." Nagito said, his heart beating out of his chest. His palms were all sweaty, his breathing was all raggedy, everything was out of whack. "I-I love you."

"I already know that." Hajime replied, nonchalantly. "I have been waiting a very long time for you to say that."

"Do-do you feel the same way?"

"Of course, Nagito. Now, I am going to do something I have been aching to do." Hajime whispered as he leaned his face closer and sealed his lips onto Nagito's.

Immediately, Nagito returned the kiss and rolled himself on top of Hajime. He wanted to dominate and release the beast hidden within. Hajime was more than willing to give in as he pulled the white haired boy down and deepening the kiss.

"Mmm...hold on." Nagito stopped, panting. Hajime sat up and began kissing his neck. "As much as I love the enthusiasm, I think we should go somewhere more private."

"Aw, always the party pooper." Hajime sighed. "Doesn't matter. That is why I am so madly in love with you."

Nagito laughed, surprising Hajime as the two of them stood up. "Good. Your overconfident ego is one of my huge reasons why I love you too, Hajime."

Hajime smirked at the revelation of Nagito using his first name. Soon, however, he was greeted with a stern, but sexy look.

"You tell anyone I did that...you're dead meat."

Hajime wrapped his arm around Nagito's waist and led him down the hill. He continued to kiss the boy's neck, making a hickey. "Nonsense. You're mine now...and nothing or no one will take that away."
