Set in motion (Danganronpa Characters X Reader One-shots)

Slow Dance (Hajime Hinata X Reader)

Angst warning~

The tapping of the heel of your shoe was seemingly the only way to calm yourself from all of this events, besides the loud music resonating from the speakers, upbeat bass bouncing up and about around the gymnasium as students danced and have the time of their lives.

You bit your lip, as you avoided the urge to look at your watch, fearing that an hour might've passed while you waited for him. And in fact, he promised to be early... But despite that, he was already three hours late when you last checked the time.

He was never late, he was always right on time. It was strange to think that this boy was maybe late for an hour or two... Or three, or four, or five. He was the most punctual person you have met and in fact, you were the tardy one in terms of comparison and contrast. But apparently, not today.

What's Hajime taking so long?

Could it be the traffic? Nah, the traffic wasn't that much of a problem when you reached the school. Perhaps he was still choosing between his collection of suits and tux and coats? No, you were sure that he already made a decision what tux to wear... You were unsure how the boy is late, but you'll surely understand. He is a reasonable person, surely he wouldn't be that late if he didn't had anything happening in his life.

You sighed, taking a breather and sat by one of the benches. The punch in your hands seems to taste bland, much to your dismay, you had a few cups and you were feeling tipsy. Someone might've spiked it, but you're not complaining.

"Lads and lasses! Good evening! This is your Headmaster, wishing you to have the best evening of your school life yet!" The crowd applauded and cheered, before the music started blasting louder this time.

You wish you can cheer, party alongside them, but you can't seem to cherish this moment without your boyfriend who was looking forward for this night... It feels so wrong to celebrate without him, he was so enthusiastic about accompanying the Ultimate (talent) to the ball.

You can't do anything but to just smile to express your happiness for those who rejoice around you. The one's who prepared the ball noticeably brought their best out in terms of preparing it. The food was divine, the decoration, the drinks, the activities, the music... It would be more lovely if Hajime were here to witness this with you, but you know how to be patient for a little while.

To admit this, you were getting a little lonely with Hajime still not here. You feel guilty for your friend's attempting to cheer you up when they see your mood down on the dumps and all you can do is to smile to conceal your loneliness.

You looked at the crowd once more, hoping he'd be there, probably dancing the night away, or maybe he's dragged into that dancefloor with his friends... You looked at the entrance, hoping he'd be there walking or maybe planning his grand entrance to sweep you off your feet... But you were greeted with a void... Huh, now that you mentioned what it looked like outside, you can't help but to entertain yourself.

Stargazing isn't really your thing, but there's nothing you can really do right now. Maybe you'll just send Hajime a message regarding your location so he can find you there. Speaking of sending a message to Hajime... You have already sent him dozens of message.

Hey darling, I'm at school! I'll be waiting for you <3
