The Fate Called Hope

Chapter 4

Gasp!

My eyes shot open as I sat up.

"Woah! Woah!" The nurse yelled. "He's awake!"

Nagito ran in, holding my hands.

"Hinata!" He smiled.

He clung to me, tears streaming down my face.

"What happened? Where am I?" I slurred my words.

"You fainted. You've been out for a few hours," the nurse said.

I stared at the light above me.

My eyes grew heavy again.

"So, I'm not dead?" I smiled.

"No, you're not" Chaiki reassured me.

My eyes closed.

So... tired...

More hours passed and I finally woke up.

Nagito was nuzzled into my side, and his face dug into my neck.

I rubbed his head.

Why. Why did Komaeda do this? If I still don't remember her, how did I fall for him? Why did I dream of him kissing me... Did it actually happen? Was it a memory?

"Are you done?" Iuzru asked.

He sat on the guest chair.

"Done?" I looked over.

"Fawning over Komaeda," he said as he crossed his legs.

My face turned bright red.

"I am not fawning over him!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes!"

"I don't believe you."

"You should!"

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"I was here the entire time. I saw how you looked at him. You're infatuated with him." Izuru stood.

I turned away to face him, with a shocked Fuyuhiko at my side.

"Who the fuck were you talking to? The wall?" He laughed.

I shook my head. "Izuru"

Right, I forgot you could see him." He sat down.

Fuyuhiko cracked open a soda and drank.

"How's you and the gay bastard?"

"Gay? What?"

"Right, his family's dead, that's mean. How are you and your gay boyfriend?"

"Still don't know who you're talking about."

"Nagito. God, you fucking dumbass"

I stared at him.

"I'm not gay," I said.

Fuyuhiko fell, laughing. Soda spilled on him and on the floor.

"Bull fucking shit!" He wheezed "You like dick and you can't even deny it! Look at how you're holding the other gay fuck!"

I rolled my eyes.

"Is he done?" Izuru asked.

"I don't think so" I laughed.

Nagito's eyes fluttered open.

He smiles, seeing me awake, and presses his lips against my cheek.

My eyes widened, and I stared at him.

He smiled and ran his fingers through my hair.

He turned his head, seeing Fuyu.

"Oh, you're here," he said.

He nuzzled his face into my neck and tilted my chin upwards.

"What are you?" I stammered.

I was quickly silenced when I felt Nagito kissing my neck.

Fuyuhiko's jaw dropped, in shock.

"Nagito..." I whined. "Hey, quit it."

He giggled, and stopped, resting his head on me.

"What in the gay shit did I just witness?" Fuyuhiko stared.

"Take it to your Pinkie Pie boyfriend," he said, sitting up

"Pinkie Pie?" Kaz sobbed "I see how it is"

Nagito laughed and hugged Kaz.

"You're a cool Pinkie Pie." He smiled.

"I am?" Kazuichi sobbed.

"What in the actual fuck is going on" Fuyuhiko sighed.

"No clue" I laughed.

Nagito yawned and climbed back into bed and held onto me.

"I suppose you're tired," I said.

He nodded.

"Gay" Fuyuhiko chuckled.

"You too Baby Gaylord" Nagito smiled.

Fuyuhiko pouted, and Kazuichi carried him out of the room.

Nagito fell asleep in my arms.

Despite playing with his hair, I couldn't fall asleep.

Komaeda sometimes acted like a cat and a dog. He was clingy, and when I didn't give him my attention he would throw a fit.

Time passed until the sun came up.

"Up! Up!" Byakuya yelled

He gathered everyone in the cafeteria.

"It's time. Pack anything and go outside." Byakuya folded his arms

Some people left to their rooms and others left.

"Byakuya, sir" I walked to him. "You said Komaeda and I had to stay back?"

"We changed our minds," he said. "You will all get an apartment in the complex I own, so be grateful."

He's such a dick...

We all got into a van, and it drove off.

I stared out the window as we drove over a bridge.

The water was deep blue, and I noticed red areas.

"What are the red spots?" I asked.

"Oh, uh, coral!" Makoto smiled.

The way he had to think about it felt off.

What are their plans?

Once we arrived, everyone was handed a key and just shoved away to explore.

Why does this all feel so wrong? This isn't right. Is this another dream? Is there another way to get into a killing game? I can't do it, especially if I lose my memories. I can't. I.Just.Cant.
