The Fate Called Hope

Chapter 5

It had been a few days since we moved into our new apartment. Something felt extremely off, but nobody else had noticed.

Until one day, I saw something that I could never unsee.

I entered Bykuya's office. There was a bookshelf that was slightly turned as if it was a secret door.

"Hello?" I yelled.

No answer.

I moved the bookshelf more.

"Is anyone there?" I called out.

I felt sharp nails grab my neck.

"Finders Keepers" Junko smiled.

She shoved me into the room and pushed the bookcase in front of the entrance.

The room smelled of rotting flesh.

I felt around the walls for a switch.

When I turned the light on, I was met with dead bodies all over the room.

My suspicions were confirmed despite the fact that most of them were unfamiliar to me.

Aoi, Byakuya, Yasahiro, and Toko... Their bodies were in front of me.

They're dead... I checked for a pulse. But all I felt was air...

What's going on... Am I dreaming? What the fuck..

I banged on the bookshelf, and it moved with ease.

In front of me were everyone's dead bodies...

I held onto my stomach, trying not to feel sick.

"Final one," Junko said.

Suddenly, we were outside and she was lying in a tree above my head.

I looked up and saw a gun in her hand.

"See you, Hinata." She smiled.

Bang

My eyes shot open, and I was covered in sweat.

"What the fuck is happening?" I mumbled to myself, changing my clothes.

I stepped out of my apartment. Everything looked normal.

Hiyoko and Mahiru sat by the pool. Mikan, Fuyuhiko, Peko, and Kazuichi in one apartment. Sonia and Gundham perform a ritual, sacrificing Teruteru.

They're doing what?!

I ran over.

"Let's not sacrifice our friends," I said to them, pushing them away from the tied-up Teruteru.

"Who said he was a friend?" she asked smilingly.

"I did," I said as I untied him.

I brought Teruteru over to his apartment.

"You alright?" I asked him.

He nodded.

"Just scary when you wake up tied like a pig in front of a princess and Gundham" he chuckled "Scary hot"

Teruteru seemed to be like this for no apparent reason. He was awful during the game but dear fucking god.

I turned around, seeing that Nagito had joined in with Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi, his arms wrapped around both of them.

"Good morning," I said, walking over to them.

"Mornin'" Fuyuhiko smiled.

Peko nodded, "Good morning."

"Hajime!" Nagito grinned.

He wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Are you two dating?" Kazuichi said, folding his arms. "Because if not you need to."

My face turned red

"I, well, you see" I stammered

"I'll get the wedding planned" Peko smiled.

"I'll pay Mahiru to be the photographer!" Kazuichi raised his hand.

I walked off, and Nagito still clung to me.

"You seem off," Nagito said, once we were alone.

"Off?"

"Yes. Off. Is something wrong?"

"Well, I've had nightmares, that's all."

"Why don't you tell me about them?"

"I wouldn't walk to bother you"

"There's nothing you can do that'll bother me, Hajime."

"Are you sure?"

"As much as I am in love with you, yes."

"You... what?"

"Was that too soon?

"I, well, erm"

"Was it?"

"No, it wasn't."

"Perfect" He said and pulled me towards him. "Would you mind if I did something with you?"

I tilted my head and shook my head

"Not at all" I replied.

He held my body close to his, one hand on my waist and the other on the back of my head. He rested his head on mine, then kissed me.

I didn't know how to respond. I stood for a few seconds, just in shock and utter astonishment. I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed him back.

Snap

The quiet sound of a camera shuts off. I didn't bother to look, and I didn't care either.

Nagito removed his hand from my head and touched my cheek.

He finally pulled away, but I pulled him back and kissed him.

I could feel a smirk creeping along his face as he kissed me back.

When we finally pulled away, we laughed like we were still in high school and had just had our first kiss. Both of our faces were red.

He rested his head on mine, smiling.

He lifted my chin and kissed my neck. I turned my head and bit the back of my hand.

Nagito suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

I turned my eyes to see all of our classmates and the Future Foundation watching in horror. I saw the camera in Mahirus' hand.

Now she has blackmail

...Yay

Hiyoko fell to her side, laughing.

"Holy shit" she laughed.

"When's the wedding?" Peko chuckled.

Nagito shrugged.

"Don't know, when is it Hajime?" He smiled

"Why would I know?" I said

He cupped my face in his hands.

"Because I'm going to make you my husband," he said beaming.

My face turned bright red.

This is how he did it... this is how I fell for him. His smile drove me crazy. The way he held me made me feel secure. I'd do anything to make him happy, and I knew he'd do the same... Izuru was right, I am so in love with him.

So you admit I'm right?

Yes, I'll finally admit you're right.
