Love Is Hard For A Shut-in | Nagito X Reader

15

I sat in the corner of my room, petrified. Muffled screams came from outside of my dorm.

What's happening outside?!

It sounds so scary...

"AAAAHHHHH!!! SOMEONE!! HE-" I winced as I heard the person get cut off by something unknown.

I cringed as a gut-wrenching sound came from outside.

They're dead.

They were alive just a second ago...

What could be beyond my door?!

(Knock, knock)

I flinched as I heard someone knock on my door.

No, don't open it...

I stood still, not daring to move.

"Y/n..?" A familiar voice was heard from outside my door.

Could it be...?

I sat up.

Is he finally here...?

I smiled wide and walked towards the door.

"Are you here?" The person said again.

He's back!

I placed my hand on the doorknob and twisted it.

"Nagi!" I pulled open the door to reveal my friend that I missed so much.

"Hi..." He smiled back at me.

"I missed you!!" I tackled him into a hug and buried my face in the crook of his neck, "Why weren't you...." I lifted my head up to look behind Nagito only to find complete chaos.

Countless of corpses littered the cracked road along with cars that were burning.

Just what happened here....?

"N-Nagi... W-Why is e-everything... l-like this..?" I pulled away from the hug and gestured to our surroundings.

Nagito looked behind him and smiled.

Why is he smiling?!

Wait...

That smile...

It's his smile whenever he starts rambling about hope...

Why... is he smilling like that...?

"Isn't this amazing, Y/n?!" Nagito turned to me with swirls in his eyes.

"This... Despair...!" He began to pant heavily.

"How overwhelmingly powerful it is...!" He embraced himself, "Just imagining the hope that will come out of this.... Ah... It's enough to get me excited!"

"N-Nagi...?" I looked at the luckster in fear and slowly backed away from him, "W-Why are y-you s-s-saying such things..?"

His smiled turned wider and stepped closer to me, "Y/n! You can be... You can be the new advocate for hope! Just imagine! Someone as despair and hope-ridden as you! Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Nagito grabbed me by the shoulders and inched his face closer to mine, "I bet Junko Enoshima would love you to be her ally!"

Junko... Enoshima...?

I shuddered in fear and struggled against his hold, "Please...! L-Let me go! I'll do anything! A-Anything... J-Just please l-let me go..." I felt tears form at the corner of my eyes.

This isn't Nagito...

Nagito isn't like this...

This is all a dream...

I'll close my eyes and wake up inside my dorm.

I closed my eyes and opened them again.

I'm still here...

This... isn't a dream...

"Anything, you say?" I nodded in response which caused Nagito to smile even wider, "That's great! I know just the thing that you can do! C'mon, let me introduce you to her!" Nagito released his hold on my shoulders and grabbed me by the wrist to drag me to who knows where.

...

Her...?
