Danganronpa Oneshot Collection

Praise - Komahina

Here's a super short drabble that I did for a one word prompt. The word was praise! (As you can see I'm very creative with titles. The pairing is Nagito Komaeda and Hajime Hinata.

"You shouldn't pay any mind to trash like me," Komaeda smiled, waving his hand flippantly and turning away from Hajime. He began walking further down the beach, softly humming to himself.

The brunette sat stunned for several seconds before shouting, "K-Komaeda! Wait!"

"Ah, Hinata-kun, you're still here? But why?" The white haired boy tilted his head, genuinely confused.

Hajime jogged to catch up the other, "Komaeda, I was trying to hang out with you!"

"Hmm? But... why?"

"Why?" Hajime parroted.

"Yes, why. Why would you lower yourself to someone like me? Of course if you'd like to use me as a stepping stone, I don't mind, but wouldn't you be better off spending your time with worthy ultimates instead of absolutely filthy, disgusting, worthless trash like me?" Komaeda said this all with a smile on his face, as if he were discussing the weather and not just casually insulting himself.

"Komaeda, you're not worthless!"

"Huh?" Komaeda looked surprised, but then let out a wry chuckle, "Hinata-kun, you don't have to lie to me."

"I'm...I'm not!" Hajime shouted, his voice echoing across the empty beach, "You want me to be honest, then fine! You're infuriating! You're annoying and self-deprecating and a lot of times I wonder if you realize just how batshit crazy you really are!"

Komaeda's laugh was light and sweet, "Exactly, now I'll be on my way-"

"Wait! I'm not finished, yet!" Hajime grabbed Komaeda's arm, which startled the white haired boy.

"Hinata-kun?"

Hajime sighed, "You're also passionate, funny, and so so smart. You're not filthy, you're not disgusting, and you're definitely not worthless. I came here today, because as much as you absolutely piss me off," Hajime let out an irritated sigh, "You can be really fun to hang out with, and I think you're really a good person deep down. So please- uh Komaeda?"

The luckster was staring, wide eyes with his face absolutely beet red, "Hinata-kun..." He sighed, lovingly, "Well, okay. I suppose... we can go back to our love nest!"

"Love- what?!" But Komaeda was already pulling Hajime across the beach and towards the cabins.

It looks like he had a really good time.
