🌧 Nightmares

🐟 A/N: Ahh, nightmares... the cliché of all oneshots.. still a guilty pleasure though.
Anyways it's a bit angsty, tears were shed U^U

Hajime has been having a lot of nightmares recently, Nagito tries to help.
————————————————————

It was a couple of days into the shared room ordeal, and it seemed to be working alright so far. Hajime felt nice enough to remove the chains and ropes from Nagito's hands, and let him sleep on the ground with a pillow and blanket. He felt it was a fair trade.

The two were getting ready for bed rather quietly. Nagito would often try to start a conversation, but Hajime, being his tsundere self, would often shut it down.

Nagito knew he'd do it again today, but he couldn't help but take an interest in Hajime. He thought he was intriguing.

"Hajime,, I noticed that you haven't been sleeping too well recently." Nagito began.

Hajime sighed in exasperation, not in the mood for a chat about his sleeping habits. "I guess not. Just been having weird dreams lately, that's all."

"Nightmares??"

"Yes- No- It- It doesn't matter." Hajime fumbled with his words, huffing in defeat. "It's nothing too bad or anything, just annoying."

"Oh.. okay.." Nagito replied. He knew it must've been a lie, he had seen Hajime wake up in the middle of the night with heavy breathing and an anxious look on his face, he found it a shame that Hajime felt the need to lie about it.

Hajime made no further chit chat, and laid on his bed, throwing the blanket over himself.

"Goodnight Hajime."

"Yeah, goodnight.."
————————————————————

And it happened again. It was the third night in a row that Hajime woke up suddenly from those damned nightmares.
His body was sweaty and shook slightly, he looked towards the window and decided he should have some fresh air. Cautiously and as quietly as possible, he stood up and walked towards the window. He fumbled slightly with the curtains, but eventually got the window open. Feeling the breeze of the night, he took a deep breath of the cool ocean air.

After a couple of minutes, he sat back on his bed. He didn't feel like going back to sleep. That meant he could only sit and ponder about the nightmare. The thought made his stomach turn.
He put his legs up, and leaned his head on his knees with a shaky sigh. His closed his eyes and tried everything he could to think about something else.

Playing video games with Chiaki.
The current motive was a video game.
Eating good food with everyone.
Teruteru is dead.
The party they had that one night.
Byakuya died that night.

With every positive thought came one that was ten times worse, Hajime felt like his head was practically screaming, he gripped onto his hair, taking deep breaths.

It seemed he was making more noise than he thought, all the fumbling and breathing he did woke Nagito up.
He looked up at Hajime, rubbing his eyes. When he realized was he was seeing, a frown made it's way onto his face. Another nightmare. He thought to himself.

"Hajime.. Are you okay?"

Hajime's head looked up towards Nagito. The moonlight from the open window was the only thing that illuminated the room, and it made his watery eyes more noticeable than he wanted them to be.
"I'm fine. Go back to sleep." He spat out in a harsher tone than he intended to use. He turned away from the other male.
