Hunting for our Hope

His Fall

Nagito breathes in, staring down at the city below. His wings spread outwards as he watches a certain human with insatiable glee. He loves this man. Sadly, as an angel, there's no way that he could ever tell him. Unless he fell, but even then, that wouldn't guarantee his survival. Last year, several angels had fallen from heaven by the order of her. Junko, the Angel of Despair, also known as Azza. Oh, how he hates her. She actively tries to ruin his life, tempting him over and over. He can't say that he would be surprised if this was her way of tempting him again. 

He was a young angel, certainly a fool. At least, in her words, he was a fool. Yet, he couldn't help but stare at the handsome young man who was on his way to school. The man hums softly as he enters the school and Nagito sighs. He'll have to wait now, around six hours to see this beautiful human again.  "Hey, Nagito! Junko wants to see you." Nagito freezes as he turns towards the messenger, his eyes widening. "She wants to see me..?" The messenger nods wordlessly, his face downcrested and Nagito immediately knows what this means. He was to be banished from heaven, the only home he ever knew. 

Junko taps her fingers, staring at the angel in front of her. "Nagito Komaeda, the Angel of Love, also known as Chamuel. You have disobeyed father by falling in...love...with a demons Vessel. What say you in your defence?" Nagito looks at her, his head drooping as he realizes what will happen. "I am guilty in all regards, but please don't take my wings.." 

Silence reigned above the heavenly court. Waiting to see what Junko would do. "...I will be merciful. Just this once, but your fall? You do know that you can never come back unless you prove yourself. Do you understand, Nagito Komaeda?" He nods, looking downwards again as he was stripped of what made him an angel. 

Nagito woke up from the strange dream. "Again..? Why do I keep having that dream?" He sighs as he gets up, writing down his dream in a thick book. Walking to the bathroom, he pauses slightly. "What if that was really me..?" 

Shaking his head, he enters his bathroom. He starts his shower, and slowly gets in, tripping slightly so he lands on his back. Great. Looks like his luck has tipped to the bad side today. First, a dream that makes no sense, now this? What would be next!? Sighing, he stands up and finishes taking his shower, not noticing the person walking into his room at that very moment, he leaves his bathroom without a towel and freezes. 

Hajime did NOT want to do this today. His day was already bad enough as is, but no. He had to be chased by six angry spirits, and enter the room where his crush resides. Great. Just fucking great. On the downside, Izuru wouldn't shut the fuck up. On the plus side, he got to see his crush naked in front of him, sopping wet. Okay, maybe this wouldn't be a bad day after all. 

"Uh...Hi?" Hajime says as the door bangs, angry spirits screaming for him. Nagito looks at him, a light blush on his pale face. "You're the guy I saw in my dream...The one I was looking at..." Hajime giggles slightly, leaning back on the door to fortify it easier. "Oh, so I have a stalker now?" 

Nagito sputters, his blush growing heavier by the second. "N-No! I just saw you in my dream-" Hajime freezes as a clawed fist pushes through the door. "Great...Now I have to deal with this bullshit..." 

Izuru took control, Hajime's eyes turning a brilliant red as he turns to tear the clawed handoff of the spirits body. "Spirit..." The spirit screeches in anguish as its hand gets torn off of its body slowly, each pulls and tug complete agony for this evil creature. It deserved it. Oh, it deserved everything that happened to it. 

Nagito watches in disgusted awe as Izuru tears apart the spirits, and his eyes go back to the olive green that they were beforehand. Hajime chuckles slightly. "So, I can explain-" "YOU SEE THEM TOO!?" Nagito shouts, staring at Hajime with wonder. Hajime nods, smiling slightly. "It's complicated, but everything supernatural, angels, demons, et cetera, exist. They're real and sometimes people need to hunt them down to protect humans." Nagito nods and then thinks. 

"So... Is that why I have the dream of being an angel?"
