TW for: Implied suicide
??? POV
I stood at the edge, while the cool breeze gently tossed my fluffy hair, I looked down at the ground meters below me. I was going to jump, I couldn't take it anymore. School, friends.... And Hajime... "trying to end it all, huh?" A soft voice called from behind, I didn't answer. "You shouldn't waste your life y'know..." those words gently pushed through my heart, causing beads of tears to form in my eyes...

Hajime's/3rd person POV
{???/Friday}
Hajime woke up in a cold sweat and tears on his face jeez, I hate that stupid dream... Hajime sat up, looking at the floor ugh, this is so stupid! Why didn't I actually help him?? I was so useless to him... I didn't mean what I said.. Hajime thought to himself, he got up from his bed and checked the time.
{4:07am/Friday}
Hajime walked downstairs and sat on his couch with a sigh. After awhile of just sitting there, trying to process the dream, he heard footsteps, Hajime couldn't quite tell who's they were but he was still frozen with fear. Hajime then heard a voice.
"Who's awake down here?" A sleepy voice called, searching for an answer... the voice was Izuru, Hajime stayed silent, trying to decide whether he should answer or not. Izuru spoke again, "Hajime... I know you're awake. I heard you walk down the stairs." Izuru stated with a slight sigh, Izuru then walked into the living room, sitting next to Hajime. "Same dream again?" Izuru asked with slight concern. Hajime just looked at his brother and started to tear up "come here..." Izuru said softly, opening his arms. Hajime flopped into Izuru's arms,
"I just want him to come back so I can say sorry..." Hajime said quietly as he started to feel his tears roll gently down his face. Hajime sniffled, then tried to wipe the never ending flow of tears coming from his eyes.
"Some things you just can't control, Hajime... That's just how life is," He paused... "I'm sorry if this isn't very comforting. But sometimes the truth is what people need." Izuru patted Hajime's head, hugging him closer "it's going to get worse if you keep staying up so late without trying to sleep again." Izuru spoke with a gentle voice, careful not to sound too harsh or monotone like he usually does.
"I'm sorry, Izuru... I'll try to sleep tomorrow. Can we just watch a movie for now?" Hajime mumbled, hugging Izuru back. "Sure, but you have to promise to sleep tomorrow." Izuru said, with a bit of sternness in his voice, Hajime nodded, picking up the remote and turning the TV on, he picked a movie and both of the brothers started to get comfortable on the couch to watch it.
Before both of them knew it, the sun rose, greeting them with a relaxing, warm, light "What time is it..?" Hajime questioned with a yawn "7:50 am. You'll have to get to school soon, that is, if you're going today." Izuru answered.
"yeah, I think i'm going to go today... who knows, maybe today will be less depressing than yesterday" Hajime exclaimed with a bit of sarcasm in his voice. Hajime got up from the couch and went upstairs to get changed, his suit jacket was still damp from the rain yesterday damn it. It's not even dry yet, Hajime thought as he scoffed and swung the damp suit jacket over his back. Hajime walked back down the stairs, saying bye to his brother as he left for his bus. Yes, just on time, Hajime got on the bus with the same old harsh stares, he rolled his eyes and sat down. He got a tap on his shoulder, Hajime looked behind him to see the same annoying boy from yesterday. "You never answered my question yesterday," The boy smirked "does that mean it's true?" Hajime just turned his head away then shook his head, too tired to deal with anyone. "Oh, come on, can't you speak? Why don't you speak, brunette?" The boy questioned Hajime constantly "did you speak to the person you murdered? I bet you did!" He laughed
"Shut the hell up!"
....
Hajime stopped himself from saying more, scared that everyone would think he would kill someone, he put his head down and stayed silent, so did everyone else. Until someone moved and sat beside Hajime, this person had black hair with purple ends, it was curled into a swoop to frame his purple eyes, he was also really short. "so, what really happened?" The purple eyed boy asked, but, he was different than everyone else who talked to Hajime, he wasn't just trying to get a negative reaction out of Hajime, he had concern and actual curiosity in his voice. "You don't have to tell me now but, I would like to know... Koko was a good friend of mine." The boy explained, Koko? Is that a nickname for Nagito? Hajime thought to himself "um," Hajime hesitated, "I can tell you about it later... who are you again?" Hajime asked,
"Oh my GOD! Silly me, I didn't introduce myself, I'm Kokichi Ouma, I was best buddies with your boyfriend! I'm surprised you don't know me, that means that Koko puff never talked about me.." Kokichi slumped in the seat, crossing his arms, the bus stopped and Kokichi's head popped up "Oh! This is our stop, cmon hedgehog!" Kokichi exclaimed, dragging Hajime out of his seat.
"I can stand on my own, Ouma." Hajime stated, a little annoyed. Both of them walked off the bus and into school "Byee~ see ya later at lunch!" Kokichi yelled as the two went separate ways, Hajime walked into his class and sat down, surprisingly, he was first in the room.. wait, did he call me a hedgehog? Hajime thought to himself, very confused. Hajimes thoughts were soon interuppted by someone yelling "Oh, shut up stupid pig barf!" Hiyoko yelled as she stomped into the classroom. A voice followed behind her
"I-I'm sorry.. p..please forgive me for being pig barf..." Mikan said, almost crying I feel bad for Mikan.. she always gets badmouthed by Hiyoko Hajime thought as he looked at his phone, Hajime doesn't know why he even shows up to class if he isn't required to go, Hajime sighed to himself which caught the attention of a certain blonde haired bully
"Oh, hey killer. How's life without your ugly, gross, and smelly boyfriend?" Hiyoko laughed "I mean, you must be pretty messed up in the head to kill somebody you're supposed to love" she continued to laugh, Hajime slammed his hands on his desk, standing up, he was about to say something but stayed silent, fearing that his voice would crack from the tears forming in his eyes, instead, Hajime just stormed out of the classroom, tears now falling onto his cheeks as he stormed off he could hear Hiyoko saying bad things about him.
Hajime wasn't even looking where he was going he was just walking around the school, aimlessly until he ran into a wall, he cursed under his breath and realized he wasn't even in the main course building anymore. "Damn it, I walked too far!" Hajime said to himself, he noticed a few of the reserve students looking at him in fear but some in admiration some of them must not know... Hajime thought, he turned on his heel and went the other way soon finding the schools exit
"finally, jeez!" Kokichi said in an annoyed tone "it's not even lunch yet, Ouma." Hajime reminded "I know! But I got bored and came here to wait for you to get out of the reserve building!" Kokichi continued "what were you even doing in there?" Kokichi looked very confused so Hajime just gave him a short answer he seemed pleased by the answer he got, so pleased that he started laughing. Hajime sighed "It's not that funny. I just wasn't paying attention.." he mumbled, blushing from embarrassment. "Anyways!! Tell me what happened.." he paused. "What really happened. I don't expect some half-assed story." Kokichi seemed to have a serious expression on his face.
"Well you came for the truth so i'm obviously going to give you the truth.." Hajime sighed out of slight relief.
