An Irregular Heartbeat { Komahina! } ♥

Chapter 10

Komaeda's POV <3

Ahhh, what a gorgeous morning! And what a gorgeous Hinata-Kun is sleeping next to me!! I still can't believe such trash like me was even permitted to sleep within 30 meters of such an extravagant, hope-filled being. Hajime's alarm seems to set to go off in four minutes, so that's four minutes I get to admire his sleeping form, how grand!

This is useless.  Nobody could ever love me, I'm just a dirty scum who got kicked out because of the gender I love. Pathetic, ugly, stupid, I don't deserve anything! Hajime doesn't need me, he deserves so much more in his life than my ass. I should go...

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

  "Uuwagggghhh" Hajime sat up, groggy as ever. He rubbed his eyes, then looked over at me. "Nagiiitoooooo" he groaned, squinting at the sun that shined through the curtains into his eyes.

Guess I'm not leaving quite yet after all.

"Nagito I'm hungreyyyyyyyyy" Hajime whines. Apparently hinata-kun acts like a child when he's tired. Cute.

"Ah, but we have school in thirty minutes!" I smile and wave him off. Suddenly, Hajime seems to snap out of his 6-year-old act and jumps out of bed in a state of panic.

"OH MY GOD NAGITO WE GOTTA GET DRESSED QUICK!!" he yells! I scramble out of the bed and just barely manage to catch the spare t-shirt and pair of black jeans he tosses me.

I turn red "where uh, where do I change?" I ask, blushing. Hajime turns a little red too, just barely noticeable, and points to the bathroom.

  After stepping out of the bathroom I come to find that hinata-kun is already dressed, frantically tightening a green tie around his neck. It's the same outfit he wore the day we met, is it his regular attire? I seem to have so much to learn about my hinata-kun~

   Hajime's POV <3

      Thank god Nagito was quick to dress, we're making good time. I don't know about him, but I don't think I'll be late at this pace.

"So Nagito, where do you go to school, I turn here"

"Oh! What a coincidence, I do too! Our schools must be in the same district"

"Really? I go to Hope's Peak"

"Same! I just transferred from Towa City!"

I stopped dead in my tracks. NAGITO AND I GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL?!

"Hajime I know this is shocking and all but you don't have to look so upset.." Nagito frowned.

"Ah nononono I'm not upset, this is great news!!" I wave my arms around frantically.  He still looks upset, man I feel bad I never had ill intentions..

"I-if it makes you feel any better..." I started, "When we walk home it will be simpler, right?"

Nagito's cheeks turned pink.

D-did I just refer to my apartment as our home??

Oh god dammit! Now both of us are red and walking together, people might assume things!! Fuck...

As we walked through the school gates into the front courtyard, a familiar voice called my name.

"Hajime! Good morning!" Chiaki beamed, although she was playing on her game boy, so nothing out of the ordinary.

Then my two companions locked eyes. Shit. I didn't have time to properly introduce them to each other.

"Who's this Hajime?" They both said in shocking unison.

"Aaahhaa" I nervously laughed. "Nagito, this is Chiaki. Chiaki, this is Nagito" I explained. They just kinda both nodded and went back to doing their individual things. For Chiaki, she obviously had her game boy, but all Nagito could really do is stare at me. Jesus, I can practically feel his gaze. I seriously hope nobody gets the wrong idea, especially Chiaki.

Suddenly, Chiaki pauses her game and stood up, facing me. Something is definitely up, she has never done that in the 10 something years we have known each other.

"Hey Hajime.. Can I uh... talk with you for a minute.." She nervously asked as she fumbled with her hands. Chiaki' s face is red and she won't make eye contact with me, what's going on??

"Uh, yeah, sure.." I responded, highly confused. I glanced back at Nagito in a way of saying that I'll be back in a second. He looks just as, if not more, confused than I am.

Chiaki led me by the hand around a corner of the school's main building, out of sight.

"Sit" She commanded. It didn't feel forced though, more like a pleading request that I only filled out of pity for her adept lack of social skills.

The day really was beautiful. The sun was out, the birds were singing with their young, and cherry blossom petals fell from the trees. It was just so captivating and perfect, that Chiaki's voice actually startled me.

"H-hajime I..." she looked down.

"Yeah?" I asked, still oblivious as to what was going on.

"I.. like you... not just as a friend, I like-like you! You've always been there for me and been so nice... and... one day I just.. fell in love! Please, go on a date with me!! I've been playing so many romantic visual novels to prepare for this moment, all that time and effort, I did it because I love you!" She blurted out.

.

What?
C-chiaki Nanami, my childhood friend... loves me? I-i-

"I don't know w-what to say..." I blanked. This was painfully unexpected. I mean, yeah, I'm straight. Yeah, she's one of my best friends... but..

This isn't right.

She's like my sister.

"I'm so sorry Chiaki, but I need some time to think about this!" I sputtered out and ran.

A heartbroken Chiaki sat there, unable to move. Oh, how she probably wished she could "save file" her life. God, I'm such an asshole!! How could I do that to her?! I may not love her, but god dammit I should have done anything but that!! Fuck.. I'm gonna have to make it up to her somehow..

I've been hiding out I'm the men's bathroom for about ten minutes now, and I think I'm ready to talk to her again.

As I walk outside my hidey-hole, I spot her. Waiting. She's in the same place I left her, god I feel awful.

"H-hajime, I'm so sorry..." she whispered. God there's only one thing I can do to make her feel better..

I bent down, and quickly placed a chaste kiss on her cheek. God, that felt so horrible, like kissing your sibling.

But her eyes lit up like the night sky. She quickly scrambled up and bowed, before promptly retreating somewhere.

God, I'm just so glad that's over with.

AN: I have decided to bless you with two chapters in one day (one being more than 1k wow) because I felt, and still feel, awful for leaving everyone for almost 8 fucking months holy shit forgive me. Expect some sad sad angst next chapter and a very depressing Nagito, but I have no plot after that and kinda need help lmao. Leave a comment pls I'm dying. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this so far and I really don't know how long this will turn out to be but I'll try to update it a lot more consistently <3

P.s. I'm starting next chapter the second I get some ideas so comments will speed this up. Goodnight!! :)
