thh characters with a crush on you
Tumblr media
warnings: none, maybe some swearing but otherwise nothing major
oH and mentions of murder and death but this is danganronpa so im going to assume u expected as much
a/n: so we kickin this blog off with a bang, writing for LITERALLY THE ENTIRE TRIGGER HAPPY HAVOC CAST LMFAOAOAOAO (excluding hifumi, yasuhiro, and the two despairs doe bc i’ve already made that clear)
also some character’s sections are shorter than others im sorry i just couldnt think of as many bullet points for them *tiktok cry emoji*
edit: I FORGOT CELSESTE FU K SORRY
spoilers under the cut!!
★ 彡 ★ ミ ★ 彡 ★ ミ ★
makoto naegi
when he realizes he likes you, he doesn’t necessarily panic or anything, but he does get nervous
nervous around you, that is
y’all saw how he was with sayaka
if he says anything that might sound intimate then he’ll immediately rephrase it or reassure he didn’t mean anything by it
he really only does have good intentions but his wording just kinda flops sometimes
he appreciates how you listen to him and value what he says
you don't make him feel dumb or inferior compared to a bunch of ultimates with actual talents
he’ll muster up the courage to tell you eventually
let’s hope his luck comes through 😁
byakuya togami
now when THIS man realizes he likes you, he a bitch nigga bout it 😐
he can't believe he fell for a common plebeian such as you
but it was hard not to
the way you preferred to get to the point
the way you were aware of your situation and didn't sugarcoat how you felt about it, although you certainly were nicer with it than him
he's ruthless
anyways
you knew your priorities and spent no time trying to use your resources
he noticed how much you had in common; in you, he saw himself
and we all know how this mf feels about himself 😐
he’ll be quick to defend you in class trials
he won’t realize he’s doing it but he just subconsciously protects you
but just because he doesn't notice it, don't mean the rest of the class brushes past it as well
yeah they on his ass LMFAOO
kyoko kirigiri
kyoko is very good at keeping her composure so she won’t be very obvious
she’ll probably just hang around you more
she’ll also defend you in class trials, calmly
“oh, it couldn’t have been [name]. i remember seeing them in their dorm around the time the murder took place.”
hifumi probably finna say some dumb shit like “aye what was you doin in their dorm doe” but anyways
she finds you respectable
if you have anything to contribute, she’ll let you take the floor
when she tells you, she’s very composed, but also very indirect LMFAO
she’s not too sure on how to express her interest in you but maybe she’ll go about it like “well, [name], now we’ve made it here, would you like to step back into the world with me?” or somethin else along those lines idk
take her hand
pls
toko fukawa
y’all know her whole “master togami” shtick
yeah so 😁😁😁😁
no but fr, toko ofc still has her borderline stalkerish 🧍🏾‍♀️ tendencies
she’ll often find herself staring at you, either in the library or in the morning meetings everyday at breakfast
but she isn’t as straight forward as she is with byakuya
i actually think she’d be mad shy and non confrontational
the whole thing she kept up with him ? yeah, never again
if you approach her first then she’ll be able to get a few words out but for most of the conversation, she’ll just nervously play with her braids
you’ll most likely put two and two together
unless ur a makoto kinnie bc then you’ll have to wait till someone else puts it in place for u but anyways
if you decide to approach her about it, you’ll kinda be backing her into a corner bc she’s just bad at deflecting things lmao
she’ll eventually confess (begrudgingly but hey i mean its better than nothing)
expect much stuttering and a gesture like giving you a small gift
and not to be that writer that uses japanese terms in english writing but toko seems like a tsundere but not really if that makes sense?? so she’d probably shove it in your hands and if you try to say something then she’ll just try to play it off as not a big deal lol
calls u a baka 😍😍
aoi asahina
i know y’all all see how she is with sakura
yeah.
aoi is the kind of person who’d like to spend time with their crush rather than shy away from them
she values you and your friendship very much
bring her donuts
just trust me bring her donuts
she doesn’t really realize she’s into you like that for a while but believe me, she is, the whole time
and yeah i think she’d be nervous to tell you bc that’s just natural but ultimately she’d be cool about it
uh oh looks like we goin for a swim
sakura ogami
similar to kyoko, she’s very calm
despite her big and bad appearance, she really is a sweet girl
she cares for you and your well-being very much
will indeed go on x games mode for you
the way she tells you is very sincere and well spoken
kith her
naow
im sorry this is like the shortest one i couldn’t think of much for her 😔😔
leon kuwata
flirtatious ass mf
and he’s lightskin
so this just cannot go well
y’all know that bit where it’s like the guy yawns and stretches his arms up and then wraps one around your shoulder
yeah that’s literally him LMFAOO
he’s very confident
he was fairly well known with the ladies at his old school so you know he’s rhockin wit it ‼️
but
you feel.. different than usual ??
those girls were just lil flings n dates bc he was nice enough to accept their confessions and it boosted his ego anyway so it was a win win
but you
he was genuinely interested in you since he had saw you the first time
he didn’t just acknowledge your appearance
he learnt about your personality and your hobbies and what you liked and such, and he really cared and wanted to hear you talk about it all
he felt the need to really make an effort to show you how much he respected and had affections for you
he doesn't tell you in a grand way
probably just asks you out to a movie or somethin
he's chillin
mondo owada
you know
for being the biggest, baddest, most respected biker gang leader
or just for being in a biker gang period
mondo’s a huge softie lol
yeah he gets violent but he’s a sweet guy who cares about and is loyal to his friends
so mfs need to be nice to you
or they gettin whooped
when he decides it’s time to tell you how he feels, he thinks over his words and he’s all confident there’s no way you’d reject him but then he sees you in the halls and goes 🧍🏾 LMFAOOO
he’ll push through but it’s like he’ll walk up to you and look away from you because he refuses eye contact and just go
“so y/n, would you wanna.. tch.. come to a drive-in movie with me or somethin’?... dumbass.”
real smooth mondo i think you got em good job
please tease him LMFAOO it’d be so funny
he’d probably yell but you can tell he’s not mad so you just keep going with it
but once you’re done tormenting him, you do agree to the movie, don’t worry 🙏🏾
also mondo would call his s/o doll
that is all
chihiro fujisaki
my fav dude in a dress <3
chihiro would be quite shy, but that’s just how he is tbh so no surprise there
he’s very kind so he’d check up on you often just to see how you are
he cares about you v much
the way he confesses is one that consists of a red face as he offers you a box of candy or something similar
and he’d feel honored that you reciprocate his feelings
he’d be very scared to tell you his secret but once he does, he’s delighted to hear it doesn’t make any difference to you
he doesn’t know how he got so lucky with you
not only because woooo they like me back but also because you like him despite,, well everything about him LMFAOO
sweet lil boy
i’d feel like he’d talk about you to alter ego a lot
and when u meet the program for the first time, he’s like “oh! you must be [name]! master’s told me all about you :)”
sobbing i miss him
kiyotaka ishimaru
okay here’s the thing
if taka were to like someone
i can’t tell whether he’d be more strict because he doesn’t want them to get in trouble (and also so it would hopefully divert any suspicion that he DOES like you since he treats you the same as everyone else, only more)
or if he’d hold back more because he favors them LMFAOO
so imma write a lil bit for both
in the case that he was even stricter:
he’d prefer to be around you because he believes the best way he can make sure you stay out of trouble is to make sure you don’t get into any in the first place
of course it’s impossible to monitor you every second of every day but he does his best to make sure you’re doing well
if he sees you do anything out of line, he’s shutting that shit down IMMEDIATELY
but in the case he let up:
he’d still lecture you but noticeably less than the other students
if your feet were resting on top of a desk, he’d ask you to move them and then leave you alone rather than yell at you and forcibly move them himself
if you notice his behavior towards you in comparison to the other students do not tease him about it he will go as red as his eyes /hj
either way he’s confessing to you with a polite but exaggerated bow while holding out a well thought out letter with both hands
sayaka maizono
she will tell you
idk why but i feel like she’d be straight up lol
she’d make sure she’s sincere
she is the ultimate pop idol and all so she wants to make sure you know that she really does like you and isn’t playing a sick joke on you or anything
ok bc
while i do think she’d tell you
i’d feel like she’d be a little indirect just to see how you feel
like she’d give you a free ticket to one of her upcoming concerts with a kind smile
and naturally, you're like :o
and of course you come to support her
and seeing you smile at her from the crowd and cheer her on was the encouragement she needed to push her to ask you out
for real this time
she asks if you wanna come to a concert with her and ur like “oh yeah i love ur shows!!” bc ur dumb and then she’s like “no i mean.. for another artist” and eventually it hits you that she’s asking you out and ur like “oH YEAH YEAH SURE THAT SOUNDS GREAT YEAH OK” LMFAOO
———
i really hope that this is good LMFAOO this is my first time writing for dr so 😃👍🏾
fun fact i finished toko’s section first and taka’s last 😁😁
and i’d like to thank @mius-imagination @bloodygir n the rest of the discord for helping me figure some of these characters out *simultaneously whips and nae naes*
bye ive been working on this for like weeks this took forever

edit: here’s a deleted section bc i kept blanking for this character 😍

MH mpreg. Makoto and Haru have decided on a quiet water birth at home. But when the time comes, some unfortunate circumstance is preventing the midwife from making it on time. They try to wait it out, hoping they will make it, because Haru is too stubborn to go to the hospital - it has to happen the way they planned it, he needs to be in the water. This leaves Makoto alone to help Haru deliver their child, and Haru is oddly calm about the whole thing, being in the water and all.
Birth scenes are notmy forte. Oh well, I tried.
Makoto paced the living room, nibblinghis lip as he attempted to call the midwife for what felt like the hundredthtime in about ten minutes.
“Makoto, she said she was on her way.”Haru said, serenely lounging on the sofa whilst taking calming breaths.
“That was half an hour ago!” Heshouted, hands shaking as he went through to voicemail again. “Why isn’t sheanswering?”
“She’s probably driving.” He shrugged,sitting back up now the contraction had subsided.
“Stop being so blasé about this!” Hesnapped. “You’re about to give birth and our midwife is missing in action! Foronce take things seriously.”
Haru rose a calm eyebrow as if waitingfor a young child to finish a tantrum, and the reaction just riled up Makotoeven further.
“Right, get in the car. We’re drivingto the hospital.” Makoto shook his head, grabbing his keys off the hook.
“But the pool is already set up, hasbeen all week.” Haru sighed.
It was true, all the dining roomfurniture had been pushed back for the pool, blown up and waiting. And all weekMakoto had been tripping over the tube trailing from the dining room to thekitchen for when it needed to filled.
“The nurse said to alternate betweenwarm and hot water until it is filled.” Haru recalled, walking towards thekitchen.
“Haru, we are not staying here.”Makoto groaned, following his husband.
“Makoto, you’re stronger than me.Attach the hose to the tap for me.” He instructed, making no attempts to pickit up.
“I’m serious, get in the car.”
“I’ll go stand by the pool and let youknow when we reach the max line.” He said, completely ignoring Makoto’sworries.
“’You’re being ridiculous now, we’regoing to hospital.” He sighed.
“The thermometer is on the tableright? I’ll check it doesn’t get…”
“Haruka.” Makoto shouted, the fullname silencing the other man. “We are going to the hospital, now!”
“I can’t.” Haru whispered, curling inon himself as much as his stomach would allow. “I can’t bring our baby into theworld in that place.”
White walls, blank faces, strong smellof disinfectant, dismissive nurses. Cancer.His grandmothers cold hands, her weak smile, her body going limp. The placethat took and took, he could never go back there.
“Okay Haru.” Makoto said softly,wrapping his arms around his husband, knowing straight away where his mindwould have gone. “We’ll stay here, we’ll fill that bath and see if I can getthrough again.”
“Thank you.” He smiled, placing hishand on top of Makoto’s. “We have each other and the water, that’s all weneed.”
Haru slowly lowered himself into thewater, dressed in only an old, orange shirt of Makoto’s that he’d picked outweeks ago for comfort. He blindly reached out for the other man’s hand, thebeginnings of a contraction coming on. Makoto quickly took his hand, his otherholding his phone against his ears.
“Doctor Kato.” Makoto practicallycheered when he as finally greeted by a voice rather than a robotic voice mail.
“Makoto.” She sighed in relief. “I’mso glad I finally got through to you.”
“Us too.” He agreed.
“I’m stuck in traffic, I’m close butit’s not moving.” She complained.
“What? But Haru needs you.” Hepanicked.
“I know. But until I get there you’regoing to have to take control. Can you do that for me Makoto?” She asked.
“Yeah, okay.” He stuttered, his throatsuddenly going dry.
“First thing I’m going to need you todo is out me on speaker, you’re going to need both hands.” She instructed.
“Okay.” He nodded, pulling the phoneaway from his ear and flicking a switch. “Now what?”
“Go and unlock the door so when I getthere I can just come straight in.” She said, Makoto not bothering to respondas he skidded out the room. “Haruka?”
“Yes.” He panted, another contractionsqueezing at his stomach.
“How far apart are your contractions?”She asked.
“About two minutes, and they last justunder a minute.” He admitted through gritted teeth.
“Right, I think he’s going to startcrowning soon but we’ll get Makoto to check when he gets back.” She said, herecalm voice soothing Haru.
“Now what?” Makoto shouted, burstingback into the room.
“Right Makoto you’re going to have toget into the water and, if Haruka is comfortable with it, check his dilationand see where the head is.” She instructed, Makoto casting a nervous glance atHaru.
“It’s fine.” Haru nodded.
Not wanting to wait a second longerMakoto jumped into the water, sending it sloshing over the sides in his haste.
“I’m… I’m going to put my hand insidenow.” Makoto blushed.
Haru had resist the urge to roll hiseyes, his husband’s hands, mouth and other body parts were very intimate with thatpart of him so why was he suddenly so shy?
“Okay.” Haru said, knowing Makotowouldn’t act without consent.
Nervously, Makoto slipped his handunder water and towards Haru, muttering a quick apology as he entered him.
“The head seems close.” He said to themidwife. “I’m barely to my knuckle before touching it.”
“Okay, he’s ready.” Doctor Kato toldthem. “On the next contraction Haruka you’re going to have to push.”
“Right.” Haru breathed, moving untilhe was squatting and leaning against the sides as he’d previously practised onmidwife visits.
“When he starts pushing Makoto haveone hand firmly rubbing his back to help the muscles and the other guiding thebaby out.” She instructed.
“O-okay.” He replied, panic startingto set in.
They were really doing this, they wereabout to bring their baby into the world alone. Without any medical support.What was he going to do when he saw the blood? What if he froze under thepressure? What if something went wrong? What if he couldn’t help Haru?
“Makoto!” Haru screamed, snapping saidman out of his ramblings.
“It’s okay, I’m here.” He reassured.
“Haruka it’s time to push.” Theyvaguely heard the midwife’s voice.
But in that moment they didn’t needanyone, they had each other and the one thing that bonded them for life. Thewater accepted them, it was their life and now it was about to begin a newlife.
As instructed, Makoto rubbed Haru’sback, watching through the rippling water for the first signs of life.
“He’s crowning!” Makoto shouted, Harugiving him a look at his volume.
“Next contraction Haruka, big push.”She said.
“Wait, shouldn’t he be above water?”Makoto asked. “Surely he won’t be able to breath if he’s underwater. Oh god!What do I do if he’s not breathing?”
“It will be fine.” Haru said, taking adeep breath.
“Makoto, you need to stay calm.” Themidwife cooed. “As long as the umbilical cord is there he will still be usingHaruka as his life support.”
Makoto nodded, taking a few deepbreaths of his own. Despite the circumstances Makoto couldn’t help but notice howserene Haru looked, his hair damp and clothes sticking to his back but unlikeMakoto he was ready. He was where he wanted to be, with who he wanted by hisside and ready to start the rest of their lives.
Makoto felt Haru’s muscles tighteningand knew it was time.
“Push Haru-chan. Push.” He encouraged.
With a groan Haru pushed, gritting histeeth as the pain bloomed inside. In the background they heard the midwife’svoice blurred into white noise as they entered their own world.
Makoto moved closer, pressing his lipsagainst Haru’s clammy and wet forehead, whispered praise falling from his lipsas he felt more and more of their baby emerge.
“Almost there, one more push.” Makotogrinned, making promises he was unsure were even true.
“He’s here. He’s here.” Haru chantedas he brought their baby into the world.
“He’s here.” Makoto agreed as hefinally held their son in his arms.
“Almost done.” Doctor Kato said,sounding louder than before. “Just the afterbirth to go. But that’s nothingafter the baby.”
The pair glanced towards the door andsighed in relief when they noticed the midwife had arrived. Barely waiting she jumpedinto the water, Makoto moving back to give her space.
“You did an amazing job.” She complimented,cutting the umbilical cord and pulling their son kicking and screaming out ofthe water.
“Just like his father.” Makoto teased,tears subsiding as their baby was pressed to Haru’s chest.
“Hi baby Tachibana.” Haru cooed asMakoto moved in close again, bringing a wet hand up to the small boy’s head.
“Has he got a name yet?” The nurseasked, gently massaging Haru to encourage his next contraction.
“Not yet.” Makoto shook his head,unable to take his eyes off their baby.
“Well baby Tachibana has a nice ringto it.” She joked.
“Perfect name for a perfect baby.”Makoto gushed, waving as bleary eyes finally opened. “Hi there.”
Still a little dazed, the littlebundle reached out and grabbing the tip of his finger, the man gasping at thefist weakly gripping him.
“He’s beautiful.” Haru whispered, hiseyes sparkling in a way Makoto had never seen directed at a human, only a bodyof water.
“Did you expect anything less?” Hesmirked, Haru glancing over his shoulder at his husband. His blue eyes trailedhis whole face, a small blush and soft smile spreading across his cheeks.
“No, I didn’t.” He admitted.
They continued to talk in hushed tonesamongst themselves as the midwife worked, disposing of the afterbirth and keepingthe water fresh. Which was a lucky thing as this family seemed to have nointention of leaving. Far too content in the water with the ones they loved.

Full thoughts on Magic Kaito chapter 34.
Page 1: Nice to hear the police have the air on lockdown, though that hasn’t been the issue at most of KID’s heists in MK.
The description of the jewel is pretty much meant to hammer in the ‘hey, this is supposed to glow in light, possibly Pandora’ even though it’s really unnecessary. The Red Tear was the last gem to actually be heavily hinted with a ‘maybe’ by name before immediately being dismissed.
Side text is the part showing that this might not all be just a troll move on Gosho’s part of have suspicion. Why point out that Aoko still doesn’t know Kaito’s identity otherwise?
Page 2: Really, we still need panty shots? Geez... I thought we’d moved away from perv Kaito, though I also can’t be too mad because that gives me hope that MK will go back to being more silly. Not that the rest of the chapter shows any more of that, and it’s still mainly heist focused after the first few pages, but I can dream.
Don’t know if Gosho is hinting that he’s adopted the anime adaptation to have Kaito and Aoko live next to each other. Technically they just walk to school together (new information in itself, I think, since we’ve seen Kaito go home on his own more than once in the series, and first chapter he arrived on his own), and there’s still no information on where they live in relation to each other.
Page 3: Aoko knew Kaito had a bike, Keiko didn’t. Because he apparently didn’t have his license for too long before his bike was pretty much totaled. (Kid heist is hinted as the cause, and I’m assuming how that’s supposed to be taken... Though could also be imagining his future plans for the thing in the picture.)
Aoko jumps to Kaito suggesting she get a license as well, instead of him possibly suggesting they could ride together.
Page 4: I’m less amazed at the suggestion that he would take Aoko to the aquarium than the fact he’s doing the ‘I’m being magnanimous and therefore am Kaito-sama now’. It gives me flashbacks to Aoko finding out Kaito couldn’t skate and making him refer to her as Aoko-sama. Heck, that he’s offering at all, when his older personality would have been teasing ‘if you want me to take you anywhere, you’d have to beg~’ in terms of giving a favor.
Pretty sure Aoko realizes how nice Kaito is being, even if he’s trying (and failing) to sounds like his old self.
Akako proving that Kaito isn’t the only one who can use cards as weapons. -shot-
Page 5: I’m still sad that our resident witch is continuing to only really be used as a fortune teller. And always only seems to be like ‘might want to be careful, this isn’t going to go well for you’. Every time. I miss voodoo, demon possession, pentagrams and broomsticks Akako, not oracle of bad luck Akako. Pretty sure Kaito’s personal luck is always going to be bad, even if he’s ‘lucky’ in that he escapes his issues relatively unharmed. Very relatively.
Flirty Akako is also slightly odd to see. And I have mixed reactions about it because the teasing in on point, but it feels weird to see her play on Kaito’s perv joke.
Hakuba is here for literally three panels (so far) and then suddenly we’re yanked out of Kaito’s normal day school life that we barely get to see ever. I would have liked that to go on a bit longer, but okay Gosho, whatever, just please keep writing MK.
And Point One for hecking up: Kaito, why would you use your personal bike in both civilian and thief identities? That sort of not-thinking makes me want to smack you upside the head, because really? Bad enough you use the same exact, very distinct card gun...
Page 6: ‘Boring’ stuff skipped, heist time, looit, it’s a heist, yep. -shot again-
Kaito, you need some words about how to keep a secret identity. Also, in the time you’ve known her, since when has Akako been outright wrong on when you’d have trouble? You deserve it when you have that attitude.
Aoko still bringing her dad food because he’s too invested in work to leave. That’s never going to change. Must be nice when your dad is in charge of Kid heists, you can constantly ask for easy access to whatever the thing is as long as it’s not when/where Kid is supposed to be. And yes, talking about it as Aoko taking advantage, not Kaito taking advantage of Aoko’s connection.
Page 7: Ah yes, this has never been seen by the public before and is a big religious thing, but we’re definitely bringing it out just to attract a well known thief. No fear that he might actually just. Steal it. And no ominous words are spoken here, nope.
Kaito, honey. Should you really be pointing out the legitimacy of gems while you’re a civilian? No? Yeah, I know next to no effort is going to keeping his identity a secret this chapter, but it’s bugging me when he should be on his toes and usually is when Hakuba is involved. What happened to the careful planning of ‘I had two backup plans for how to escape, but I guess I don’t need them’, or the very fact that the last time Kaito was allowed to look at jewels, it was the opals with Nightmare involved and he clarly had no gem knowledge, as he was only there to look it over as a magician. Back when he could keep from looking too suspicious. Point Two for hecking up.
Page 8: No, seriously, more evidence that this is really going to be a reveal thing: Throw every normal part of the character out the window so it’s clear he’s not going to be able to hide it. Point Three for fricking throwing down the why it’s a fake and then immediately making an excuse to leave and pop up as Kid two minutes later, just in that window that ‘Kuroba Kaito’  isn’t there and five freaking hours earlier than intended. Jfc, Gosho.
Also would he really be trying to avoid dealing with Hakuba so much that he’ll just say ‘screw it’ and not even try? That’s what’s implied here. Sure, Hakuba could guess that the bike would be used when you fricking flaunt it in front of him, Kaito, but that’s your own fault.
Page 9: Not even going to harp on how stupid this is anymore, I’d be complaining about how the author is choosing to write all of this at this point. Which if I did complain, things like this are why this chapter feels rushed. It feels like he wanted to get to a certain point, bu had to hit all the other checkmarks of ‘show the other characters, good, now show the heist, okay, skip everything and get to the good parts that I actually want to do’. I like the good parts, but throwing everything else together makes it too fast paced and half this chapter feels unimportant. It’s setup, I get that, but it’s bad set-up.
Anyway...
Kaito his first heist: A phantom thief doesn’t lie. Kaito this heist: Yep, thieves are liars by nature, I lied, but moving on-
Still don’t like the just-as-transparent priest lady, I don’t know how she didn’t scream ‘up to something’ just as badly as Kaito’s screaming ‘I’m Kid and am making no attempt to give evidence otherwise’.
Page 10: Wonka voice: Oh no, it’s a trap, if only we could have seen that coming...
And here we have the fun parts. Kaito clearly can react fast enough to save himself, but Aoko is the plot device of this chapter and so, her being here is what drags him into actually falling into this trap. So much care, and even if I like the trouble he gets, I hope it works out well for him, too.
Interesting to note: Kaito hasn’t actually used his card gun as a grappling hook sort of device up until his more recent appearances, starting with Makoto in DC. And getting a more clear look at it now, it’s just as terribly impractical looking as most of Kaito’s other stunts. I approve.
Question though, did he disengage the wire from his gun there? As in, he’d still have his gun? I’m guessing that’s the case, there’s a sound effect and blank spot there to indicate it, and it’d be pretty bad if Kaito let go and left his gun hanging there for the police to have.
Page 11: Ow. I love Kaito for being so protective and shielding Aoko, but ow. I both love and hate when Kaito gets hurt. On the one hand: something happening. On the other: I do actually love Kaito and with hurt there needs to be help.
Ah, Aoko, the one person no one plans for. Please shake things up for people more often.
Page 12: He’s still keeping Aoko mostly off the broken glass, I love.
Though, this is all happening five hours before Kid’s announced time. Yes, there’s been a blackout, but these people still would have to be ready and raring to go as soon as it happened. ...How long were they going to be prepared for Kid capture?
Kaito trying to calmly assess the situation. Up until he gets hit with more ‘what the heck is going on here’ and dumped unceremoniously on the floor. (Which looks a lot worse when you know he’s already injured on that side, all I see is pain. ...And Aoko’s phone, which had fallen out of her hand when the floor dropped them into the truck.)
Page 13: I haven’t seen the DC dramas, but I’ve caught glimpses, and have bad feelings. Though at the same time, this stunt is being pulled after publicly running off with the thief (and innocent bystander) while the police were active, and would be hard to associate with pure criminal intentions. I don’t know what’s going on with this room and challenge to figure out the truth, but I also don’t think it’s going to play out as badly as could be jumped to.
That display is made of some strong stuff, to not be entirely shattered after falling twice.
Kaito, I like that you’re being careful with Aoko, but you should know full well you’ve been shielding her from hitting her head. You should know better than to assume she’s going to remain unconscious just from initial fainting shock of falling without warning.
Page 14: Cut badly, yet jacket is as immaculate  as ever. No hole, no blood, unless you move the jacket over and show your shirt.
I just noticed the tie pin, and was suddenly reminded that that thing used to fly every which way. Wonder when Gosho started making him use it.
Why are you prepared to deal with possible bleeding, but not taking any of the basic steps to make sure you wouldn’t actually be suspected? Oh wait, physical evidence is a bit more important than any easy conclusions... Fine, that can slide.
But don’t just sit and stare at the glass that poked a hole in your side while you’re contemplating, see to your injury. Or see to Aoko, since you have no real idea of why she’s unconscious. Again, deserve to be bit for that oversight. Priorities man.
Page 15: What was that about this going smoothly, Kaito? And now you’re trapped somewhere and forced to solve the puzzle, you have a bad injury, and your best friend just tore your precious shadow-making hat off your head and recognizes you. Don’t worry, Akako did say it wouldn’t go too badly, but you majorly hecked up and I hope Aoko does figure it all out.
Better yet, I hope she goes: Dang it, I was kinda hoping I was wrong about that. And more annoyed that it turned out to be true that Kid is Kaito than upset or shocked. Or if it does go the annoying route of lies and pretending to be Kid since it’s a fake, at least let her at the end secretly acting like she took it, but secretly like ‘that was bs, and I know it, but I’ll confront him some other time when he deserves to be afraid for his life’.
I have hopes, but also know better than to really expect things to happen. But I’m open to you trying to surprise us, Gosho. The fact this is even brought up out of nowhere is already surprising enough, it’ll be fun to see what happens.
(PS: Please let Aoko tell Kaito the monocle is stupid and does nothing.)

The Boy With Emerald Eyes
A Komahina Fanfic *By me!!
“Huh? Hajime’s going on his first date? That’s amazing!
(Also yes this is late but I hope you guys enjoy reading it just as much as I did writing it!)
*Also I was so close to naming this “Hajime Screws Up” XD
Enjoy!
Written from Hajime’s point of view
Edit 2018: Hey guys so I reworked this one so it sounded better and even then I didn’t have enough time to edit all the way but I hope this story I made still warms your heart this year!!!
    It was amazing, seeing Makoto and the rest of the survivors from Future Foundation unveil, the new Hope’s Peak Academy. It was great to see everyone happy again. Finally, no one didn’t have to worry about a thing in the world. I’m Hajime Hinata, a survivor of the Tragedy. Along with the rest of the former class 77-B, I was an Ultimate Despair. Some may have known me as Izuru Kamukura, the experiment of Hope’s Peak. Sometimes I wish I could erase the past, but If I did, I wouldn’t remember the important relationships I’ve gained and built with people. I wouldn’t remember, her either.
    Straightening my tie, I applauded as the Future Foundation members gave their final speeches. “Isn’t this wonderful? It’s like the Earth is rebirthing from hope once more!” It was Nagito. Surprisingly, he’s changed a lot since he was awakened from his coma. I never thought I would be so close to someone like him. He’s changed for the better. I’m glad to see his spirits more uplifted each time I see him. “I know, it’s so great to see the world stable again, especially starting from here.” He smiled, “I’m most especially glad, that I was accepted to come here with you guys! Ha, I can’t believe you guys still care about me; an insignificant piece of trash.” Well, he’s changed but not completely.  I hate it when he talks about himself like that, but I get it, somethings from the past can’t change but I try to make him think better of himself nowadays.  “You shouldn’t talk about yourself like that...I told you already, it pains me to hear you say stuff like that,” He stared at me with a questionable look in his eyes. “Look, I know we both don’t have such a great past, but that’s why it’s called PAST, please Nagito, think more positive about yourself.” He slumped back into his seat slowly, staring at the floor.. He looked up at me with regret in his eyes. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you,” he said quietly. I immediately felt bad about scolding him, but it’s for the better. It’s the only way I can really help him. “It’s fine I’m just trying to help you as a person, you’re my friend after all, that’s what friends do,” His eyes immediately lit up. They were the type to get lost in. An enchanting shade of blue, gray, and green. He smiled, “That’s right, I’m so glad I’m friends with someone like you. You’re so inspiring to me haha” he laughed softly. It was so nice to see him smile sincerely. I love seeing him this way, happy and excited. It’s just something reassuring to me, I could look at that smile when I’m down and I’ll instantly feel better. Nagito’s a great person to be around. He gives off a positive energy. Never thought I’d be saying this but, I wish I could be around him all the time. Wait what? Did I just? Nevermind. Besides, Nagito and I have been pretty close recently, he’s become my most valued friend. We usually hang out most of the time and we’ve bonded greatly.
    After the ceremony, we stayed for the party. Everyone was having a good time.  There was food, music, and drinks. The music was uplifting and happy. Oh and yeah, I helped with the music. Well, it was more of just me in the background doing all the mixes while Ibuki performed in front. It was a um...star-studded performance I guess some would call it. I still have all those talents from Izuru, they come in handy, but sometimes it gets pretty annoying. Everyone teases me about the things I specialize in. Some are pretty embarrassing, heck, I never knew I could chug down so much Kusamochi in one minute. Like one day, maybe I was drunk maybe not, I woke up in the middle of a dance floor in some type of club. The next day everyone was calling me “Twinkle Toes”. Please don’t ask why, I don’t know and neither do I WANT to know why.
    “Hey Hajime get over here!” It was Kazuichi. “Yeah what is it?” “Ya think I could get a date with Miss Sonia over there? She’s all by herself, which means I finally have a chance!” I doubt he would. “Yeah, you should, it’s the um...perfect chance aha.” I laughed nervously at the idea. He ran off towards Sonia, the enormously large crowd of people blocked him, to the point where I couldn’t see him anymore. Maybe he did get lucky, maybe I passed some luck to him.
    “Hajime why’re you just standing there, get out there and dance. Oh and don’t say ya can’t, I know you have that talent too Twinkle Toes.” Fuyuhiko laughed. “S-stop calling me that!” Yeah just as expected, someone just has to bring the talent thing up. Now I really don’t want to know what stupid thing I did that night “Suit  yourself then.” Fuyuhiko took a drink from the table and walked away.
Well at least that topic’s done.At least nothing bad has happened. Saying that  I immediately jinxed it.  As I walked forward,I tripped over the bucket of ice holding some drinks.  THUMP! I bumped into someone, falling straight  downwards into their chest.
I hate myself sometimes.
     I expected my face to hit the ground but instead my fall was...stopped? It was him, Nagito. I looked up and found myself staring straight into his eyes. “Hey, are you alright?” He was holding me by my arms.  Embarrassed,  I immediately got myself up and apologized. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to! I tripped over something, sorry about that.” I hope I didn’t damage his chest, I really don’t want to hurt him, he’s very frail still. Even though Mikan and I have been treating him with medication and treatment for the past couple months, he’s still very fragile. He rubbed his chest a bit and smiled, “It’s ok Hajime, really I’m fine” suddenly his smile faded and he stopped to look at me. Tilting his head, he put his hand on my cheek.  I think my heart may have stopped for a moment. That was unexpected of me. “You seem a little dazed. Maybe we should get you home?” I stuttered, “A-aha n-no I’m ok!” I could feel myself blushing, but why? I usually don’t blush around people since I can control how I present myself nowadays but, this was strange.  He smiled that devious, yet soft smile of his.
Grinning,“The party’s almost over, so maybe you should get some sleep. Have you been drinking too much? The taxis are all outside too, let’s go before you drink again,” “N-no! I’m not drunk Nagito!” He giggled. “Ok ok! Hahaha it’s funny seeing you get all mad!” He continued to laugh and I walked away, obviously embarrassed by my accident. From a distance I heard him once more. His back turned to me,
“Yeah it’s best that you head on home, before you get waaay too drunk and before you get your talent thing going on,”  I looked his way and at the right moment we met eyes once more. As he turned around slowly, he winked and said smiling, “Twinkle Toes”
I hate that stupid name. Irritated I walked out of sight before anyone else could call me “Twinkle Toes”
My heart was still surprisingly racing.  This isn’t the first time I’ve felt this way around him. Also no I don’t mean irritated with him. That happens enough already. He always has to pull some sort of joke on me and I always get annoyed. But in a way, I guess I kind of like it. Yeah I probably sound like a lunatic but I get a feeling that makes my heart race and my skin shiver. It’s happened before in the past but it’s been reoccuring more often. It’s like the more I spend time with him the more this feeling grows. I’ve tried so hard not to acknowledge this feeling in the past, but it keeps on happening whenever I’m with him. It’s not a bad feeling, necessarily, I actually how do I put it, enjoy feeling this way? It’s difficult to explain. I keep asking myself, am I really- no, No I’m not, right?
We’ve been talking for so long and I’ve learned so much more out of him than anyone else. More importantly, I’m the only one who can understand his luck. It’s like I value him more than anything else now. He’s just someone I want to protect and seal away from all of the troubles in this world. Maybe that makes sense, maybe it doesn’t? Who knows what I’m even trying to say anymore.
The party was over now and everyone was starting to leave. “Thanks again for coming Hajime, without you and the rest of 77-B we all wouldn’t be here right now.” Makoto said smiling and shaking my hand. Behind him Kyoko walked out in front extending her hand as well, “Yes, we do owe a lot to you guys. Thank you for everything.” She smiled gracefully. “No problem, we’ll always be here to support you no matter what.” I smiled and gave my goodbyes to the rest of Future Foundation. I walked out of the building and took in a deep breath as the New Hope’s Peak building came into views. In a way I’m glad they’re renovating this old place. It gives the world a new hope to evolve from. I continued walking and I saw him staring at the building as well, he eventually saw me and we met eyes once again. And- there it was... that feeling again! I ignored the feeling once more and lowered my gaze.
“Hajime! Wait up!” Nagito started to walk swiftly in my direction. “So what do you think of this new Hope’s Peak, I think it will be a sacred place for all humankind, don’t you think?” he asked.  Trying to get back at him for earlier,“It’s great, it gives the world something to hold on to, like a ‘stepping stone’ ya know” I smiled as I emphasized those words. He obviously knew I was teasing him. He looked away shyly and uttered, “Yeah aha” Seeing this I kinda felt bad for saying it like that. I didn’t mean to hurt his feelings. Laughing nervously I tried to redeem myself, “Hey, I’m sorry if I offended you! I really didn’t mean it in a bad way!” He instantly started to laugh again. That smile, it was so calming and uplifting to see. Thank god,I didn’t hurt him for real. He’s the one person I care about the most, and I’d never do anything to hurt him. Here I go again, rambling. What is it with me recently? As we walked towards the taxis, I studied his face.
Now that I think back to all the times I’ve been with Nagito, he seems more radiant each time I see him again. His eyes, his face, his personality, they all start to seem more incredibly luminous and sometimes even...alluring? What am I saying? Come to think of it, I’ve been using words like that a lot recently to describe him.
 He’s not bad-looking, he’s actually pretty handsome. He’s not a bad person either. I feel so happy when I’m around him. Whenever I’m with him I feel...complete almost like I did when she was alive. I’ve been trying to deny my feelings for so long, but who am I kidding, I can’t hide it forever. I think...I understand it now. Have I really been missing it all this time? Ever since we were on the boat, after the incident with Future Foundation, we’ve connected. Ever since he gave me those candies on the boat, I’ve felt some sort of way towards him. Ever since, he’s been awakened.  But, I guess it never really crossed my mind.
In front of us I realize there’s only one taxi left. Didn’t I call for one? Maybe I did drink a lot. Or maybe it’s just this stupid luck of mine.
“Hey, do you want to ride with me in the taxi. I could get you home.  It’s the least I can do.” He looked back up at me with a smile. Well I had no choice. “Sure but, I’ll pay for it okay?” “Huh? You know you don’t have t-” I looked at him with a confident smile, “It’s fine I got it.” He shrugged and got into the taxi. After I paid for his ride, we talked for a while until the taxi brought him back to his apartment.
“Hey are you sure you don’t need some money to get back to your place?” He questioned. “No don’t worry about me I’m fine! Also thanks for letting me ride in your taxi. He smiled softly, his gray-green eyes glittered, “Your welcome!” He turned away and headed for the apartment building. I swallowed a deep breath and slumped back into the car seat. My heart was still racing, and my palms were...sweating?
I never realized it until now. Nagito really is my best friend and I don’t want him to look up to me as an idol or some sort of god. I want to be something much more valuable in his eyes. He admires me for my strength and hope. He always has, ever since the Neo World Program. He always had a strong feeling of admiration towards me. But I thinks that’s the only way he feels towards me.
    I’ve always felt strongly towards him as well. Maybe not in the best way in the Neo World Program, but it was something. Now that feeling has evolved into something much more intense. It’s more stronger than it ever has been. It is anything but negative. This feeling has bloomed into something I want to keep forever. I want to be more than just his friend. If there’s anything  I would really want more than ever now, it’s... his love. I never was aware of my feelings but, I hope they aren’t one sided.
I never thought I’d ever be admitting this but, it’s safe to say… yes, I am definitely in love with Nagito.  I guess I never noticed it or really payed attention to it, but I love him, I really genuinely and sincerely do. These past 7 months with him have been great. He’s an amazing person, not everyone gets to see his true personality but, I do, almost everyday actually. I’ve seen past his flaws, and I’ve seen him as a real person. I won’t ever judge him by his past. I care about him. He’s the one thing I hope to keep forever, lover or not, I always want to have him in my life. Maybe that sounds crazy, but it’s the truth.
    As I look out the window, all I can really think about is him. I mean we’ve visited so many places together and built so many memories. How am I NOT supposed to fall in love. He’s really kind and he’s the light of my life and, wow, I can’t believe I just said that.
When I got home, the first thing I did was step into the shower. To clear my thoughts out of course. I still can’t believe all the things I’ve been thinking lately. It’s crazy to think about all the things my mind can force me to believe. But I know the love’s real, I can feel it in my heart, if that makes sense.
I really want to be with him, I want to make him happy. If I were to ask Nagito out, how would I even do it? “You love him right? So you’d do anything to be with him.” It took me only a moment to realize I wasn’t speaking in my mind anymore and had said that aloud. But really, I want to be with him more than anything. How would I do it? I’ve never asked out anyone before.  Let-alone ask a guy out. If I can’t even ask girls out then how am I supposed to ask Nagito. If I do, I want it to be as romantic and enchanting as possible.
It been a couple weeks since the unveiling of the new Hope’s Peak and my love has grown even stronger. Also, I can’t believe it’s already February. Which means it’s also the month for Valentine’s Day. Yet another year passes by without having a lover. Or maybe not? I really want to tell him. Hey, I mean even if he turns me down, it won’t be so hurtful. He’s nice to me, well he does tease me now and then, but overall he’s very kind. But I don’t want to have my heart broken this year. I want to have real love. I don’t want to ruin a friendship either. Ugh, why is this so difficult. Anyway it’s technically my fault for not knowing much about love.
I’ve had friends that are girls, but I was always was the one with bad-luck getting into relationships with them. The only person I really had was, her. And yet, I couldn’t even say it before she left us all.
    Suddenly, I got a phone call, it was Kazuichi. “Hey what’s up my soul friend! Wanna go to the ramen place near the cafe down the street of your apartment?”
I had nothing better to do today anyway, plus that ramen place serves the best Kusamochi for dessert. Kusamochi always wins me over in any situation. “Sure, I’ll meet you there at 12:00 noon”
        At 12:00 I walked out of my complex and started walking towards the restaurant. As I was walking, I saw a poster advertising rice. For some odd reason, I was thinking of Nagito again. Yah I know that’s a stupid thing to say, but I’m being sincere. I guess the color reminded me of his hair. Great, am I really just gonna think of him wherever I go?
    As I walked further, eventually reaching the restaurant, Kazuichi was waiting for me. “Hajime! I got some great news to tell ya!” “C’mon I’ll tell ya inside!” After we ordered our ramen, we sat down at a table and rice was displayed in front of us. As an appetizer I assume. I guess I kinda looked unsettled, because Kazuichi asked if I was ok. Crap, I can’t believe I’m displaying so many emotions right now.
    To distract him from my own self I asked bluntly, “So yah, what great news did you want to tell me?” A little surprised he smiled and said between chewing, “Remember how I told ya I was trying to get a date with Sonia?” he dropped his chopsticks into his bowl, “I THINK I FINALLY WON HER OVER!” I backed away into my seat a little slowly, “O-oh really? Wow, I’m happy for you Kazuichi!” He sank into his seat and crossed his arms, as if to brag. “Yeah I know right, ha I’m awesome” Scratching my head nervously, “So how’d it all go down? Did you make the first move?” He sat up, looking surprised, “Huh? We didn’t kiss or anything. I just asked if she would go with me to the Zoo.” “Oh, well that’s great too. Good job Kazuichi.” “Thanks, you don’t know how happy I was to hear those words come out of her mouth.” I didn’t want to be rude but, I know Kazuichi and Sonia very well and...I doubt she’d go with only Kazuichi. Let alone the Zoo, and I can only think of one person who’d be more than happy to go there and that other person is not in a very good state with Kazuichi right now. “What exactly did she say?” I asked. Placing a finger on his lip, “Well she said this: Oh that sounds great! Sure!” I’m pretty sure she wasn’t done talking. I asked, “Is that all she said?” “Yeah...well she did say something else, but I ran off in excitement. Probably just asking when and what time. I’ll just text her the time though, so ya could pretty much say I got a date for Valentine’s Day.” I smiled awkwardly, “Haha, good for you Souda, good for you.”
    Suddenly, the conversation switched to me. “So...you got a date for Valentine’s Day?” I choked a little on my ramen. Clearing my throat, “-Ah n-no I don’t have anyone aha.” He looked at me questionably and then smiled, “C’mon Hajime, there’s gotta be a special someone in your life. You’re not even ugly.” Trying to shorten the topic I raised the chopsticks to my mouth and replied bluntly, “Nope, nothing.” I could feel myself turning red. Shouldn’t I have the “Ultimate Liar” installed in me? If I do it’s not really working right now, because obviously he knew I was lying.
    “C’mon Hajime, tell me the truth! I’m your friend, you could tell me.” To hopefully change his mind I said, “Nope I got no one, but I was thinking of just...h-hanging out with N-nagito that day.”Kazuichi looked at me curiously. He grinned baring his sharp teeth, “Oh so ya gotta a little bromance thing going on, better make sure you take your boyfriend somewhere special.” I felt overheated. I could feel myself blushing furiously. I didn’t answer. He continued,“Dude, you’re blushing! I didn’t know you were into dudes!”Angrily I finally replied, “H-he’s not my boyfriend!” He laughed, “Hajime’s got a man-crush!” I was sweating now. “S-stop that! Cut it out!” My eyes darted nervously around the room, back and forth. He laughed once more, “Hajime’s got a boyfriend!” I couldn’t do anything about it, so I just looked out the window only to see another rice poster. Still laughing, he said, “Just admit it! You like him don’t ya? Hey, I won’t judge ya, whatever makes you happy makes me happy.” I didn’t respond. “See your still red, it’s ok to admit it, I’m still your friend no matter what.” Well, I couldn’t escape it now. There’s no way out of it. Stuttering I miraculously managed the words, “F-fine I...admit.”
“There ya go, you just had to say that! I’m totally cool with gay people” I felt like I was going to explode into a million pieces. I wish I could just disappear.
    Bluntly he then asked, “So where are you guys going?” Still flustered I said irritably, “I-I don’t know, tch we’re not even dating! I don’t know where to go?” Chewing his food, “To be honest, I thought you guys were dating all this time, but you just didn’t want to come out yet. Pretty much everyone thought you guys were dating.” I froze, “Gngh! W-what do you mean everyone?” Between slurps of soup, “Well you never hung out with any of the girls a lot. It was always Nagito. So it became pretty obvious. Isn’t he gay too? That guy always talked about you for hours on end, sounds crazy about ya.” This was too much for me. I couldn’t get the words out that were stuck in my throat. “Quick question have you ever even asked out anyone before?”Kazuichi asked. I looked down at the floor and replied glumly, “No”
“Wow that’s surprising!” Still staring at the floor, “Yeah, thanks for making me feel better.” “Well I don’t know what to say man. I mean that makes things more difficult for you.”
“Well, what kinds of things does he like?” I had to pause for a moment. What does Nagito like? The only thing I really know is that he likes “pretty things” like sunsets and oceans. Stuff like that. “He likes pretty things that make him feel calm inside. But I don’t know what things he’ll find pretty or not!” Looking on his phone, Kazuichi says, “Why don’t you take him to the movies? There’s a new action film out” He shows me his phone. “He wouldn’t like that,” I quickly responded. Stunned he said, “How do you know? You’ve never even seen it!” “Nagito can’t handle things with kidnappings and plane crashes, he’s had a rough past you know, and from what I can analyze from the preview it’s about plane crashes and kidnapping.” He lowers his phone, “Man you really are made for each other. That was the most quickest response someone’s given me.” Blushing again, “A-anyway, do you know any good places, like a carnival or something.” Looking at his phone again, “Well there’s Odaiba, ya know the artificial island. I don’t how you feel about islands anymore or how he feels about them but it’s a nice place to go.” He showed me a picture and immediately my mind was made up, that’s exactly where I’ll take him.
“That’s perfect! They even have a ferris wheel, I mean hopefully he’ll like it. I’ve heard about it but I never really bothered to think about it. Yeah that’s ot. That’s where I’ll take him!” Kazuichi looked at me surprised, “Huh? Hajime’s going on his first date? That’s amazing!” I looked at him, irritated and uttered, “You don’t have to remind me.”
After we finished eating I thanked Kazuichi for helping me. With a bag of Kusamochi in my hand, I went back to my apartment. I threw down my jacket and landed on my sofa. I sighed happily, taking everything in. I feel so delighted right then. Like an intense feeling of happiness was flooding over me.
Now, I don’t want this “date” to be too obvious to him, so I’ll just say If he’d like to join me for a trip down to Odaiba if he’s not busy. Yeah... that sounds good. I just...hope I don’t mess things up for us both.
A couple days have gone by and it’s now February 13. The days have gone by faster than expected. I’ve been planning so many things for our date. I’m secretly hoping he’ll cancel on me, I’m so not ready. I took in a deep breath and told myself, “Ok, Hajime you can do this. It’s not like you’re proposing marriage or anything.” I pulled out my phone from my pocket and texted him: “Hey are you doing anything tomorrow? Maybe you’d like to come with me to Odaiba at around 6:00 in the afternoon. I’m paying for everything, so you won’t have to bring any money.” I waited, and waited impatiently for a text back. My stomach was churning, I felt slightly sick. Then finally he replied. He said: “Sure that sounds fun! I’ve never been there before, so it’ll be a great experience to me. Also thanks for inviting me Hajime!” Whew, that was harder than it seemed.
I instantly felt like I had just achieved the greatest victory in the world. I’m actually proud of myself for having the courage to ask him. I’m still feeling really nervous right now. My heart is fluttering and there’s butterflies in my stomach now. Most people assume that a man like me would be the most patient and calm person ever since I have so many talents but the truth is I’m nothing like that anymore. I’m not Izuru so it’s still hard for me to control everything I possess. With all these talents, it’s hard to maintain them all. I’m just me. If I were to use some of my talents tomorrow to impress Nagito, I highly doubt I’ll succeed. To use one of the many thousands of talents I possess, I need to be fully focused and determined. It’s a complicated process and too long to explain. Also knowing myself, I won’t be 100% focused. Let’s just see what happens tomorrow.
It was now 8:00 in the morning. I didn’t get any sort of sleep last night. I guess I got a little too over excited and couldn’t relieve my mind of the thought.
Tired, I slowly got up from my bed and stared out the window watching the sunrise. Watching the sunrise seemed to have a calming effect on me, it was a beautiful shade of pink mixed with a cream orange. Beautiful, just like what he would’ve liked to see.
    Crap! What am I doing? I need to prepare for this! I hurriedly ran into the shower. Wait, what am I going to wear? It pains me so so much to say this but what would a fashion expert choose to wear? Dammit why am I so difficult?! Welp… the Ultimate Fashionista wasn’t installed in me for nothing I guess.. Immediately, I became focused and suddenly, I had the greatest fashion sense in the world. As I picked out a leather jacket I uttered, “I can’t believe I just used that talent. I hate myself sometimes.” After I put on my clothes, I sat down and realized that I got ready way too early. It’s barely 9:30 am. What the heck is wrong with me? Great job Hajime, you can’t even pick a time to get ready. I literally chose to make the date start at 6:00 pm. I really hate myself but heh, maybe I’ll make another outfit change later on. But in a way, it was good, that gives me extra time to think.
    So first, I’ll pick him up and we’ll catch another taxi together. I’ll pay and then from there we’ll take the train to Odaiba. Yeah and then we’ll go to the shopping mall and I’ll buy him quality gifts. Then the ferris wheel, and lastly a look out on the pier. Seems romantic enough right? Well I guess that’s romantic, I don’t know what kinds of things he considers romantic.
    When I wanted the hours to go by quickly, they went immensely slow. But now the time’s going by too fast. 5:41 already? No it can’t be. I’m not ready yet! Who am I kidding, I was never ready for this moment. I put some additional cologne on and some finishing touches on my outfit, perfect for a date. I’m actually kind of glad I have the “Ultimate Fashionista” installed in me, I look better than ever. Wow did I really just admit that? There’s definitely gonna be a slip up of some kind tonight.
    It was now 6:00. Time to go. I ordered the taxi ahead of time so it should be here already. Nervously and slowly, I turned the knob from my door and walked outside. I was feeling so incredibly nervous. I tried to knock the nervousness away and built some courage inside myself.
    In the taxi, I texted Nagito letting him know I was going to be there very soon. Like almost every text I receive from him, they always end in a smiley face.
            “We’re here” said the taxi man. The ride felt way too short. I couldn’t believe it. This is actually happening. “Just greet him like a gentleman” I silently told myself. I opened the taxi door to greet him. I actually kind of froze when I saw him. He was wearing dark-blue denim jacket and a black v-neck shirt underneath. He was wearing a small golden chain around his neck. He looked so attractive. His hair still looked pretty fluffy but he parted it to the side. His outfit brought out his eyes perfectly. They were like emeralds, so incredibly astonishing. He stared into my eyes from a distance, until finally he said, “Umm, Hajime are you ok?” It took me a minute to realize I had been staring for too long. Shoot! I slipped up already and it's only been 2 minutes into this date.
          “Oh aha y-yeah I'm fine! How're you?” He smiled, “I'm doing ok. Thanks for asking! And thank you for being so kind enough to invite me out tonight” He smiled that warm smile of his and started to walk towards the taxi. Wait I need to be a gentleman right? Let me just- as I rushed over to open the door for him, I missed my chance. I stumbled forward. Our hands touched. “Gnhg!” I was blushing again. He looked down where our hands met,“I could open the door myself you know. Both hands are fully functional thanks to you haha!” He looked at me again but this time his expression was different. It was the first time I've seen him give me that look. He was smiling still of course but, it was an irregular smile. Almost flirtatious in a way. Is he? No it's probably just me. He’s just a really smooth guy in general. Right?
       The taxi ride along the way got progressively better. We talked all along the way just like any regular conversation we've had in the past. But it's hard to stay focused on a conversation especially when you feel attracted to the person.
    Before I knew it, we had arrived at the train station. “Well we’re almost there!” I turned my head to him. He looked a little tense and was holding his hands together stiffly. It was almost like he was frozen, he wasn’t moving at all. “H-hey are you alright?” I asked stepping forward slowly. Reaching my hand out slowly, he moved. He backed away swiftly, “Huh? Oh yeah I’m ok aha. J-just lost in thought. Nothing to worry about!” He looked a little red and laughed nervously. This is the first time I’ve seen Nagito look nervous... Is it me? I hope I’m not making him uncomfortable. Oh gosh what if it is me? Geez, I’m the least romantic person in the world. Suddenly tons of negative thoughts were entering my mind. With my head down I muttered,“Let’s board the train now,” I said. I can’t do this. He obviously knows this is some kind of date. He probably doesn’t even see me in that way…..what if I’m being too intimidating? Dammit! I should’ve known this would’ve never worked. I could only imagine how uncomfortable he must be right now. He must feel so awkward now. I walked with my head down and boarded the train first. He followed behind me.
    After paying for the ride, we sat down. He must’ve known I was upset. I was looking away and didn’t speak. “H-Hajime? A-are you upset about something? If you’re not feeling well, we could go home. I don’t want you feeling sick...” Just as I thought. He’s trying to end this before it gets worse for the both of us. Gosh I'm seriously the worst person in the world. Poor Nagito, I wanted him to have fun but I made him feel uncomfortable instead. I hung my head and muttered, “Excuse me,” I got up and walked into the restroom.
    I knew this was a bad idea. Ugh! I’m supposed to have talent and yet I fail at the things I need most in life, love. It’s never too late for a refund I guess. I looked at myself again in the mirror. I’m such a disappointment. I’m titled the most talented person in the world and I still feel like such a damn failure. It’s like I can never do anything right. I just want to make him happy, instead I’m ruining stuff with my self-loathing already. I’m making this horrible for the both of us. Now I’m in here, being selfish and loathing. How disappointing. How disappointing I am. Gosh he’s like the only person I could have this many emotions for in one day.  Dammit..now he’s outside all alone. I really messed up I shouldn’t have even come in here. I want to make him happy,that’s all I want. He obviously knows the signs of attraction I'm showing towards him; probably doesn't even like me like that. I ruined it. And the friendship. I want to have love. Suddenly, for some odd reason I remembered her. Chiaki. Those same words found its way into my head. “There’s more to life than just talent” “By getting involved with others and making memories, hope, which is more than talent, is born”
    Memories…that’s what I want with Nagito, more than anything. I can’t leave him. I need to get back out there and fix this. What the hell was I even saying earlier. I said I want to make him happy but I’m complaining... To this day, my emotions always seem to get the best of me. I know I don’t need talent to make him happy. I never did. Even back in the N.W.P, he still hung out with me even if I didn’t know what my talent was. I should’ve learned that by now but, some things just stick with you forever. I just need to be myself around him. He always looks so happy when I’m around him. I can’t break his spirits. Whether he loves me or not, I can’t let him resort back to his old self where he was in a dark place. I’ve really helped him physically and especially mentally. His mentality is stable, why? Because of me. I can’t ruin this for him. I need to go back out there before his spirits and emotions die. I’m one of the only people who still manage to be around him this long. I have to fix this.
Suddenly, the train jolted and stopped. We were at Odaiba already? Have I been in here for that long and- Nagito! I have to go get him!
    I rushed out of the bathroom, pushing my way through crowds of people, desperately trying to find him. I tried to navigate where we were sitting and when I got there, he was gone. Dammit. I looked over upon the crowds and still no sign of him. There were hundreds of people on this train. How am I going to find him now? I need to navigate my way out of here. Focused, my mind set itself to find him. Soon I was soaring through the crowds easily. Everyone was outside now. I continued to navigate through the large crowds and then I finally saw the white-haired boy.
    “Nagito!” I yelled as loud as I could. He turned around, and from afar, he didn’t look happy. He had the same lonely, and dark look I’ve seen on him before in the past. Shit, that’s what I didn’t want to see. His eyes looked glassy. I can still fix this though. I immediately starting running in his direction. Trying not to bump into him again, I stopped just a few inches until we were standing right next to each other. Panting, “Listen...Nagito I’m...really sorry I stormed off like that...it’s nothing about you...so will you-” Unexpectedly, I was caught in between his arms. He embraced me tightly, and then quickly let go. My face was probably as red as a tomato. “S-sorry about that! Aha, I’m just glad you’re feeling ok. For a second, I thought you got sick from having to stare at my ugliness. A-and I thought you were feeling uncomfortable around me but I’m so glad you’re okay!” He was smiling again and dabbed at his eyes. Had he been crying?  I smiled back and said, “You know you’re not ugly to me, you’re a handsome guy Nagito, and I’ll never be uncomfortable around you ever” Woah, where did that come from?! I can’t believe I just said that. He instantly started blushing, “O-oh r-really? Aha, how nice of you to say,” He turned his head away shyly to hide his red face. To me, this was kind of cute to see. I immediately felt accomplished. One compliment down. But really where did that come from?
    The first place we went to was the shopping mall, which he adored. I felt like a real gentleman, paying for the small items he asked for. Seeing him so happy is the world to me. It was beautiful place to be. The shops were all amazing and we had so much fun. We spent at least an hour in the mall. We spent a while looking at all the shops and he seemed so delighted.  
    After that we went to a restaurant. Nagito’s a really picky eater so it was kind of difficult to pick a good place to eat. “What about that place? It smells delicious just from standing here.” And most responses would be something like, “Hmm, it looks a little too greasy maybe there’s a healthier option.” Geez, sometimes he could be so incredibly difficult. Eventually we did find a good restaurant, but it was the most expensive. Welp, I want to make this his night so, I guess I’ll pay for it. Why does he have to be so picky?
    The dishes they served were pretty good, although I could have easily prepared these all in under 1 hour. To my delight the restaurant served Kusamochi, my favorite! “Hey is Kusamochi good?” he asked. My mouth was overfilled with Kusamochi. Chewing still I struggled to speak, “Yeah-mmngm its pretty-mgmng good!” He laughed, “Why’d I even ask, of course you’d say it’s good. That’s your favorite dessert.” He looked at my large plate of Kusamochi, “Hey do you think I could get a small taste?” “Huh? Oh sure!” Without realizing it, I had eaten most of it by myself. He took the small piece that was left and ate it. “Well, I'm not a huge fan of sweets but this is actually pretty ok!” He had crumbs all over his mouth. Leaning over to clean it off, “Um you got a little something right there.” As I leaned over, my clumsiness got the best of me.
    I tripped over the leg of my chair and face planted into the table.  The drinks were spilled everywhere now. Thanks to his ultimate luck, Nagito didn’t get any on him. I wish I was more romantic. Guess this what I get for never having experience. Slowly, Nagito helped me up, “What happened? Are you ok?” He said brushing my jacket off. “Y-yeah I’m ok! Really I’m fine!” I felt so embarrassed. Also my nose was bleeding now.
    After that embarrassing mishap at dinner, we took a short stroll on the boardwalk. The sun was down, but it wasn’t fully dark yet. The lights started to show on the bridge. “Wow, this is beautiful Hajime, I’m so lucky you invited me out today!” With tissues still in my nose, “Y-your welcome aha.”
“Hey you um...want to go on the ferris wheel? It looks pretty calming.” I asked. He looked a little worried, “Um, yah I guess so, as long as you’re near I know I’ll be ok so yeah let’s go.” I’m at least glad he feels safe around me.
He looked a little tense as we got closer to the ferris wheel. I hope he’s not plagued by some traumatic experience right now. As soon as we got closer I immediately had second thoughts. Nagito’s luck combined with mine could result in an accident. “Hey we don’t have to go on if you don’t want to. I don’t want you feeling unsafe and threatened up there.” His expression changed quickly, “It’s ok! It looks ok, well you have all the talents in the world so if anything happens, I’ll just depend on you for help!” He laughed softly. He still looked a little nervous when we got on, but as soon as I sat next to him he calmed down a little. The sky was fully dark now and the moon was out.
When we started moving, he got a little startled. “Ngh!” He instantly grabbed onto my arm. My heart stopped again. Clinging tightly to my arm, I tried to soothe him, “I-its ok Nagito! It’s just a ride, don’t worry. I-I’m here for you and as long as I’m here I’ll make sure nothing happens to you.” His head was now resting on my shoulder. I didn’t want to see myself right now, I was probably sweating and turning red again. He looked up at me and soon we were just inches away from each other. I was staring straight into his eyes. I couldn’t help but stare at his lips. “T-thank you Hajime. Really I know I’ve said that before in the past but, you’ve done so much for me. You’re the one person I feel safe around, and I don’t have to worry about my luck affecting you. You don’t know how grateful I am to have you in my life.” I could feel us getting closer and closer. Soon there was only a small space in between us. This was the perfect moment to tell him. He looked beautiful in the luminous moonlight. The stars were shining in his radiant emerald eyes. Sweating and stuttering I spoke, “N-Nagito?” He responded, “Yes?” My heart was beating faster than ever. “I-I lo-” My words were cut off in a sudden jerk. The ride had stopped. Dammit! I finally had a chance! And now it’s gone!
“Oh wow the ride’s over already? That was fast,” He had turned his head away from me. Shoot! I should’ve just told him earlier. Now the mood is ruined. Great. I could still feel myself blushing light a bright-red tomato. “Y-yeah I know right…” It was starting to get pretty late and I don’t want him to lose out on any sleep. His body needs it, it’s beneficial to him, so his health can remain stable.
“Wow would you look at the time! 12:34 thanks for bringing me Hajime! I had so much fun!” He looked elated. But I was still upset. I can’t let him go just yet. I still have a chance. I’m not failing tonight!
“Wait! Let’s go back on the boardwalk, all the lights are lit up!” I hope I didn’t sound too desperate. “Oh sure!” I started walking swiftly, Nagito followed behind me. Finally we got to the boardwalk displaying the water. His eyes lit up, “It’s so lovely! This is amazing! I’ve never seen anything so fantastic!” Pheww, I’m glad he liked that at least. Slowly, I made my move. My hand crept over and touched the cold metals of his robotic arm. He seemed to notice it. I didn’t look over, I just kept my vision straight. “H-Hajime?” My heart felt like exploding. “Look, Nagito, I know I told you this was just an outing,” I was sweating now. “W-well, it’s not. I b-brought you out here t-tonight on Valentine’s day a-as a date. This is a date. F-for you a-and me.” He didn’t respond. “I-I know you’ve been having fun this entire night, b-but I have to tell you something. Something, I-I’ve been meaning to t-tell you for a while now.” I felt sick in my stomach. “N-Nagito I...I..tch! Nagito! I’m...in love with you!” No response. Suddenly, I felt his hand slip away. My hand was holding nothing but the cold railing now. D-Dammit! I screwed up! I-it was too soon! He probably doesn’t even like me like that. Yeah, that’s right he only looks up to me as an idol...for strength and hope. Not a lover. He probably got too nervous and backed away. Shoot! I’m so so sorry Nagito. I just ruined our friendship. I didn’t want tonight to end this way.
I was about to just give up and walk away. It was stupid of me to think he’d have feelings for me too. Unexpectedly, and swiftly, I felt a tight grip on my waist. It was him. His arms were wrapped around me tightly. I could feel his head on my shoulder. He whispered, “I thought I’d never hear you say that…” Then I felt water trickling down my skin. Was he crying? I turned around and indeed, tears were in his eyes. “Y-you don't know how happy I am to hear you say that!” Huh? Why is he crying. And more importantly, he...loves me? I guess I was a little too surprised to react appropriately. He was blushing now and he was getting closer.  His metal hand grabbed ahold of mine. He held it up to his chest and kissed it. Looking down at the floor, “Hajime, the truth is…I love you too, I always have ever since we were trapped in the Neo World Program.” He continued, “You were the first person ever to talk to me like a normal person and not a freak” He began to shed more tears, “I know I always said I admired you for hope but, you meant so much more to me than anything.” I finally broke my silence, “N-Nagito, please don’t cry, you know I will always be here to protect you. I care about you so much, please don’t ever forget that.”  I stroked my hand on his cheek wiping away his tears. He spoke again smiling, “Since today was Valentine’s Day and you invited me out, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to tell you, but this whole night I've just been so nervous, so it was hard for me to tell you, ya know” Looking back at it, he was pretty unresponsive sometimes tonight. Like at the train when we were boarding, he must've gotten nervous and moved away out of fear of rejection. He spoke again, “I didn’t want you to reject me or even worse end our friendship forever,” I looked into his eyes with passion and consent, “Oh Nagito, if only I had known this was how you felt all this time, we could've been more than friends” His eyes sparkled.
“You’re the best thing that ever happened to me. Despite all my bad luck, you even love me,” Suddenly we were both embracing each other. We got closer and closer to each other. It was only a matter of time before my lips touched his. It was an exhilarating feeling. For a second, it felt like the world stopped turning for us, so we could have this intimate moment. My heart fluttered. This was the first time I had kissed someone. That was the best feeling in the world. Behind closed eyes all of my troubles and worries were forgotten. Suddenly, all of my fears were left behind. It was romantic.
This...this was what love felt like.
We looked at each other affectionately. He gazed into my eyes lovingly before planting a kiss on my forehead. He spoke with a ever so charming smile, “Well looks like you're not single for Valentine’s Day this year” He stroked my cheek once more. I blushed and laughed softly. “Well, let's head home, I don’t want you missing out on your sleep.” I said. He stopped and asked, “Hey are you free tomorrow, maybe we could go to the park or something?” I smiled, “Yeah that sounds like fun!” He looked at me from the side, “Oh and you don't have to pay for anything. It's all on me.” He winked at me with shining eyes.
“Hey, Hajime?” “Yeah?” “Do you mind if I could possibly stay at your place? If..it’s ok with you.” A rush of happiness flooded over me. “Oh um, of course! I’d love to have you around longer tonight.” He put his arm around me, “Thanks, I love you Hajime.” Walking to back to board the train, “I love you too, Nagito.”
Tonight was a beautiful night. The stars seemed to shine brighter than ever. The air felt calming and cool. The night sky was a gorgeous asset to this date. Well I can't say tonight was perfect, but it took its own path and made it even better than expected. I mean I did pretty good for a first date. I even earned my first lover tonight too. I mean hey, there's always a first time for everything. And I'm really glad I got enough courage to ask Nagito to be my boyfriend. This is the happiest I've ever been in my entire life. This boy, the boy with the luminous emerald eyes, is the one I want to keep locked away in my heart forever. He's the one thing that I want to love and protect more than anything. I earned his love by being myself, and not by my talent. Character always counts and he loves me for who I am. For a first love, this was great, and I want him to be my last. I would do anything to protect and keep his love for the rest of my life.
“Ah, you have such a nice apartment!” He pranced around looking so excited. He stopped and said, “Oh! I just remembered! Fuyuhiko was planning an event tomorrow. It’s kind of like a dance I think, maybe...we should go there tomorrow.” I laughed, “A dance? Well, I mean I’m not such a huge fan of dances but as long as you’re there I’d be more than happy to go.” He came up to me and kissed me again. Teasing me, “Huh? What do you mean you don’t like dances? You’re a pretty fantastic dancer,” He turned away and looked at me from the side, “Twinkle Toes” I hate that name. But if I have to live with that name for the rest of my life, I would. I’d do anything to keep him calling me that forever.
