Equilibrium

Life with Family

Accepting Makoto's invite to spend his break with the others family has to be one of the best choices Nagito has ever made.

Each day is a treat, he gets to spend time with his favorite person and just relax.

This varied from watching shows with Makoto in either of their rooms, playing games, occasionally watching a movie, and a lot more.

But not all time was spent with just him.

Komaru also pulled him aside too, surprisingly.

She would ask him to read manga with her, check out a newly airing anime sometimes, and once even was asked to read some of her own plans for a manga.

"My brother thinks it's silly and I know it is, but I really want to make one.." She told him, looking a little deflated. Her demeanor then switches into one with more passion and determination. "I know it'll take a lot of work, but I still think I can do it!"

For someone not having a talent, she still has a strong fire in her for this career.

Even though she's what he would've once considered a 'nobody' he found himself believing her.

"The drawing part isn't too hard. I just need like an editor or test reader...I wanted to ask Fukawa-san to help, since she's one of Makoto's friends...but she's not open to the idea." She sighed. "She doesn't like manga…"

"That's quite the shame…" Nagito was at a loss for words, he wasn't shocked, but he didn't know how to react to someone so normal with so much devotion.

Then he got curious.

"And what of your friends? Why haven't you asked them to help?"

"Oh, no no I can't! I'm dedicating this to them, it has to be a surprise! I can't let them see it yet!"

"Hm... I see how that would be a problem."

"Yeah and Makoto isn't very big on reading, plus my parents don't really get it...but now you're here!" She bounced in glee and went to snatch a notebook from her desk and shoved it into his hands.

Her eyes were full of excitement and hope.

"You like reading! You can help me!"

His eyes went round from the bold approach.

"I-I suppose I could...manga isn't necessarily my preference, but I like it."

"So it's settled, you're my test reader!" She declared happily.

And from there a lot more time was spent with Komaru.

Not that he didn't enjoy her company, it's refreshing.

And forces him to think about something other than the boy he has feelings for.

But of course, not all time was spent indoors.

Makoto being the unintentional social butterfly he is, he would get invited to small hang outs with friends.

Each time Nagito would get asked to come along with him, but he'd only accept a couple times.

Not only is he still getting used to being around several people at once still, but he doesn't want to take up all of Makoto's time.
