I Want Ken Not Barbie {Nanbaka: Uno x Hajime}

2) Why Didn't He Want Me

"#69?"

"Here."

"#25?"

"Here."

"#15?"

"Here, for once."

"#11?"

No answer.

"#11?"

Hajime looked through the pools of the cell and looked around. Uno was nowhere to be seen.

"Where the hell is he?!" Hajime screamed out.

"I think Mitsuru took Uno to the game room, I don't know why though." Jyugo explained. Hajime grumbled as he headed to the direction of where the two are.

Hajime never really understood why Uno and Mitsuru were so close, they are a guard and an inmate yet that didn't stop them from acting like father and son. Hajime didn't really care about that, he just wished that Mitsuru would tell him if he's taking one of his inmates.

"He is driving me fucking crazy. Why does he keep doing this?" Hajime said as he started to walk down to the game room, inmate 11 won the prize when he won the New Year's tournament event.

'Out of all the things in the world he could have chosen, why this? What's so special to him about some game room?' Hajime thought quietly to himself. When he reached the game room he saw Mitsuru outside of the room, he's usual smile not on his face.

"Mitsuru, we need to talk." Hajime said. Mitsuru immediately drew his attention to the other and a small smile appeared on his face, "Hajime! I'm glad you're here, can up check up on #11? I gotta make a quick call." Mitsuru asked.

Hajime looked at him with a death glare, but he sighed. "Fine. But we will be talking about you taking one of my inmates without letting me know first hand." Hajime sated. Mitsuru gave him a nod as he started to walk away pulling his phone out of his pocket.

Hajime opened the door to the game and froze in place when he saw Uno at the darts, just by looking at him from the doorway Hajime could tell something was up with the strawberry blonde inmate. Closing the door behind him Hajime walked over to the inmate, as he walked over to Uno Hajime couldn't take his eyes off the inmates new prison gear.

It was Kiji's idea for the inmates to have new clothes since they've been wearing the same thing for months. Uno was wearing a navy blue long sleeve shirt, black sweats, he still had his blue and white striped hat on top of his head, but the thing that stood the most out to Hajime was the fact that Uno didn't have his hair tied up in the normal style he usually had it in. Instead his hair was tied in a low hanging ponytail, not tight but not loose.

Hajime removed his eyes from the inmate and drew them to the dart board, Hajime's eyes widened with what he saw. There was a picture of a man with short blonde hair on it, the picture already being covered in holes thanks to the darts.

'Who the hell is this guy?' Hajime thought to himself again. He watched as Uno threw another dart at the picture, it landed right on the guys cheek. Hajime heard Uno sigh but didn't think much of it as he continued to throw dart after dart at the photo.

Uno let out another sigh, but this one was more shaky and that got Hajime's full attention. Hajime reached his hand out towards the inmate and placed the outstretched hand on his shoulder, Uno's whole body started to shake just the connection of Hajime's hand and his shoulder.

"11 what's going on with you?" Hajime asked. Uno didn't say a thing as his vision started to blur, tears swelling in his eyes. "what's gotten you so upset?" Hajime asked.

He used his hand on Uno's shoulder and turned him around but the inmate's head was still down looking at the ground. Hajime grumbled to himself as he used his other hand to lift up Uno's face, Hajime watched in complete shock as he watched the always smiling #11 break down, tears starting to run down his cheeks.

"Why didn't he want me Hajime?" Uno said. Hajime was taken back for a second, he looked at the photo of the man on the dartboard then he looked back at Uno. He immediately connected the dots together on who the man was and what his connection to Uno was.

Hajime raised his hand toward Uno's and grabbed it, he started to walk over to the couch that Uno got and sat down, Uno immediately sitting down next to him. "#11, what do you mean 'why didn't he want me'?" Hajime asked.

Uno took a few shaky breaths till he finally calmed down. He used the sleeve of his shirt and started to wipe his tears away, Uno looked at Hajime. The guard was taken back for a second by the inmate, the tears that fell from his eyes made his sky blue eyes glossy and bright. It was almost weird but his eyes almost looked bigger somehow.

He looked cute.

Hajime shook his head for a second snapping that out of his head. Hajime raised his hand and rested it on Uno's cheek, "Uno, if you're gonna talk to me I need you to breathe." The inmate looked at Hajime with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Hajime has never said his real name before.

This is the first time he actually said it.

"Breath Uno." Hajime said again. Uno took a small breath then let it out, Hajime let out a small breath, a faint smile appearing on his face. "It's okay Uno."

Uno felt a shiver of short run up his spine, just the way Hajime said his real name with how his voice felt absolutely enchanting. "Now, please explain what you meant by 'why didn't he want me'?" Hajime asked again, Uno looked away from the guard as he tried to find the words to say.

"My bio dad was a piece of shit who made it clear he didn't want me around, Mitsuru has been a REAL dad to me ever since I was eight years old." Uno finally said.

"What do you mean?" Hajime asked again.

"All I'll say is, Mitsuru found me and gave me a home when he was nineteen and when I was eight. He gave me a home when my bio dad didn't give me a proper one at all." Uno said, "even though Mitsuru has been the greatest dad for ten years of my life, I still wonder from time to time about why my bio dad didn't want me."

Hajime had no words for what he just heard, he knew that Mitsuru and Uno were close but to find out that Mitsuru is basically Uno's adopted father is something he didn't expect to hear. Hajime watched as Uno tucked a strand of his hair behind his ear, he calmed down a bit but Hajime could see the tears marks on his face from after all the crying.

"I always thought I did something that made him hate and even neglect me."

Hajime thinks he heard enough of this. Hajime carefully reached his arms out towards Uno and wrapped them around his shoulders, Hajime pulled the inmate towards him and let the strawberry blond rest his head on his shoulder. Uno didn't know how to react at first but he moved a bit closer to Hajime and nuzzled his head deeper in his shoulders. Uno moved his legs so they were over Hajime's as he placed his hands on the guards arms.

Hajime placed his hand on Uno's back and started to rub it gently up and down, Hajime then placed his other hand on the inmate's waist while his head went and rested on his neck. The two stayed like that for a while, not even realizing that a certain bird was watching them.

"Well, this is something."
