hajime's pov

i stare up at the board in utter confusion. i squint, writing everything down on my notebook. when i look down, it all looks like gibberish.

i... don't understand shit.

i sigh in relief as the bell rings. geometry is not my strong suit it seems. then again, apparently nothing is considering im just a reserve course student. i roll my eyes at the thought.

realizing its lunch time, i grab my bag and exit the classroom. as i do, principal monokuma walks by with a drink in his hand. i raise my brow at him and he grins back at me.

"just checking the classrooms!"

"its lunch time..."

"so?!"

with that he leaves, leaving me even more confused. i shrug, as i come to the conclusion that this school is simply full of weirdos.

i see natsumi walking towards me. i force a smile at her while i wave. she grins back, throwing an arm over my shoulder. she struggled a bit considering the height difference but still managed.

"cmon walk with me, hajime! i have a lot to talk about." she drags me towards the cafeteria as she starts ranting about god knows what.

don't you always have something to talk about?

we manage to make it to the cafeteria and after getting our lunch we sit down at our usual spot. i check my phone only to see the groupchat going wild. haven't really checked it in a while.

fuyuhiko 👺

i laugh at my phone, catching natsumi's attention.

"hey! are you listening? you're probably talking to your girlfriend." she scoffs.

"ah yeah, well, not just her. its a groupchat." i explain. she looks at me curiously.

"is my brother there?" she leans over, trying to see.

"um. yes, he is."

"tell him he's a dick."

"... why?"

"just do it!"

after lunch, we go back to class. the day goes by quickly thankfully. when im walking out of school, i see my friends all looking at chiaki's phone. i assume she's playing something.

"hey guys what are you-"

"shut the fuck up hajime! this is an intense game." kazuichi yells at me, waving his hand at me. i raise a brow, leaning to see what she was playing.

"this some type of horror game? aren't you afraid of those, kaz?" i tease, a smirk on my face.

"no! be quiet." and as soon as he says that, he lets out a high pitched scream at the jumpscare on screen.

i roll my eyes, and decide to walk in front of them as they were taking too long for my liking. this time, i notice nagito trailing behind me so i turn and smile.

"hey there."

he laughs, leaving me confused. did i say something wrong?

"sorry you're just- you're so dry even in real life!" he giggles again, covering his mouth with the back of his hand. i roll my eyes but couldn't help but smile.

we talk for a bit, still in front of our friends. i don't remember how but we ended up talking about school. he rarely talks, simply listening to me with a smile.

damn him and his cute smile. wait cute? no hajime. not cute.

"but yeah," i sigh. "i really suck at geometry." i whisper to him, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"oh yeah he does!" kazuichi suddenly says, running closer to us. "i remember this one time he said-"

"don't you dare kazuichi."

"if i recall... an octagon is a shape with eight sides, right?" he mocked, trying to imitate my voice but failing miserably. "if i recall?! hajime dude thats so obvious!"

i glare at the pink haired mechanic, clearly annoyed. "it isn't that funny." i scowl as he continues to laugh, fuyuhiko soon joining in.

i tune them out, walking faster. nagito follows... again.

"hey hajime, no need to feel embarrassed! kaz was just joking around." he starts, placing a hand on my shoulder. "if you want, i can help you!"

my eyes widen as i look away. "um—" he cuts me off.

"of course, only if you want! im quite good at geometry." he grins, clearly nervous. removing his hand from my shoulder, he starts to fiddle his fingers.

this is oddly adorable.

"uh, if you could. i really... don't wanna fail." i hesitate, clearing my throat. i try to smile reassuringly.

and as if i had washed his nervousness away, he grins. brighter than i had ever seen. i genuinely smile at this.

"great! i'll text you then, whenever you're free!"

"oh im free tomorrow! if you can- sorry you're probably busy and-" he cuts me off again. honestly im thankful for that.

"im free tomorrow too," he waves his hands, as if telling me not to worry. "so my place then?"

"oh um- sure."

real smooth hajime.
