The Coffee Shop [DISCONTINUED]

+* Chapter 13 *+

"I would like to call Izuru Kamakura to the stand."

Komaeda saw the man who was named 'Kamakura' and instantly knew he was 'Death to Despair.' Komaeda's face grew sickly pale in thoughts of it. He looked over at Hinata that had the same expression plastered on him. They exchanged glances and looked back at the stand, worried.

He stated his testimony and it was time for the defense to start his cross-examination. Komaeda tuned out the talking because he already knew that he was the murderer. He had the same red eyes that seemed to pierce through his skin, and the long, black hair that looked as if it was as long as Rapunzel's. Komaeda gawked at him for a moment, then looked at Hinata worryingly. He knew that he was the one who killed Chihiro Fujisaki, he just didn't know how to prove it.

Komaeda bit his in frustration, he never liked trials. His eyes seem to dart between Hinata and Kamakura, not knowing which one to pay attention to. As he eyed Kamakura, the man looked back at him, and it caused a shiver to go through Komaeda's body as it a ghost had passed through him. He immediately looked away, afraid that he would possibly be the next victim. Kamakura also glared at Hinata, which made Komaeda nervous. He didn't know what he was capable of, but he sure knew something, he knew never to cross paths with him again.

Komaeda had just wished Kirigiri was with him. She knew that Kamakura was the murderer, just not the judge. His tears slowly started to reveal themselves as he cried with short hiccups and sniffles. He'd never asked for this; the raincloud grew bigger and bigger and bigger. He wiped away his tears to try not to catch anybody's attention. A few people looked over at him, but none of them asked him if he was okay. Soon enough, he heard the judge say something that caught him completely off guard, as he was not paying attention.

"Hajime Hinata was found not guilty. Trial concluded."

Komaeda did little happy dance and pranced over to Hinata, still in tears. He looked over at his love to find him smiling sweetly at Komaeda. Hinata walked over to Komaeda and took his face in his hands and wiped away all his tears and pains he's been holding in and embraced him. "Shh.. It's okay, darling. I'm here.." Hinata whispered softly into Komaeda's ear as he cried quietly into Hinata's. He pulled away and kissed him softly. "I love you, baby. I'll never leave your side."

Komaeda smiled at that comment, he'd never felt to loved in his life. Komaeda gazed at Hinata lovingly as he did the same. "Should we go to the coffee shop to celebrate?" Komaeda asked. Hinata nodded and they both walked hand-in-hand, enjoying the scenery and each-other's company; it felt heavenly. They arrived and Tsumiki glared at Hinata. The couple sat down as Saionji and Koizumi took their order, and Koizumi commented on how cute the looked together. Tsumiki brought out their drinks and there was tension between all of them.

"Your drinks." She set down Komaeda's drink softly, while on the other hand, she set down Hinata's quite harshly. It made the two jump, and Hinata ended up having a mini staring contest with Tsumiki, which made Komaeda uneasy.

Someone who they never expected to walk in suddenly did: Nanami. Hinata looked at her wide-eyed as she ordered, then took a seat at Hinata and Komaeda's table. They looked at her, utterly confused, then she explained herself. "Hey hey, why are you so tense? I just wanted to congratulate Hinata for not being evicted guilty." She clung onto him a bit, which made Komaeda jealous. He knew that Hinata would never cheat, he just had a little voice nagging him that he wasn't enough.

Soon, they ended up talking and Nanami was still clinging onto Hinata for dear life, which made Komaeda's jealously become even more prominent. Once they finished their drinks, Nanami stood up and Komaeda pulled Hinata out and dragged him to his own house.

Once they got there, Hinata looked at Komaeda angrily. "Hey, what was that all about?!" Komaeda took a step back, he'd never seen Hinata angry at him before, and that made him almost well up tears, but he kept them inside. "Did you see how Nanami was clutching onto you? It's obvious that she still likes you." Komaeda said, softer than Hinata did. Hinata shook his head and sat down on the couch. "Look, I know you might be a little envious, but can you just give her a second chance? She probably learned her lesson." He stated. Komaeda looked at him, almost in tears of anger and sadness that he would give that girl a second chance. "She kissed you, for fucks sake! She fucking kissed you.."

Komaeda broke down into tears. He couldn't hold in his wrath and vexation for Nanami. Hinata was taken aback of how Komaeda reacted. Tears started to form in his eyes too. Komaeda was now sobbing, he couldn't express how much Hinata meant to him, if he left, Komaeda's whole world would break. "H-Hajime.." Hinata ran towards Komaeda and squeezed him, allowing Komaeda to cry on his shoulder again. "Look, I'm sorry.. I didn't know you disliked her that much-" "I don't dislike her, it's the thought of you leaving that troubles me. If you left, I wouldn't have a reason to live. Even at a young age, most people hated me because of the bad luck I would bring to them.. Nobody ever liked me, except for you.. And I'm not willing for you to go.." He started to sob so hard that he couldn't even breathe.

Hinata froze in shock of how much he meant to Komaeda. He felt bad for letting Nanami sit with them. "Nagito, I love you more than I love anybody in the world, you know that, right?" Hinata asked. "E-Even your father..?" Komaeda looked him dead in the eye. "My father? I couldn't care less about him, he doesn't care about me either." Komaeda clutched onto Hinata's shirt and cried into his chest. Hinata cupped Komaeda's face in his hand and kissed him softly. He held onto Komaeda's waist, and eventually pulled away. They held eye contact for a minute or so before Hinata taking Komaeda's hand and leading him to a different room.

They got to Komaeda's bedroom and laid down, eventually getting sleep. Komaeda was passed out, while Hinata couldn't sleep at all. He looked over at Komaeda's soft sleeping expression and his subtle drooling, which made Hinata giggle and wipe it off. He snuggles Komaeda in closer and kissed his forehead goodnight, then dozed off to sleep.
