Endearment | komahina (COMPLETED)

Happiness

Me and Nagito were huddled on the beach as I stood up brushing off the sand that had stained my cloud white shirt brown.
Chiaki stared at us, her shoes engulfed in sand.
"You guys can't just run off like that..." Fuyuhiko started.
"Are you guys okay? That was a lot of yelling back there." Kazuichi motioned with his thumb to where we had all came from.

"Yeah actually, really good." I swiftly turned around extending my hand out to help Nagito out of the sand.
He grabbed my hand as I pulled him up fairly easy. He weighed very light and stumbled a bit at how fast I pulled him up.

He wiped his face again looking to the side in embarrassment, I guess he didn't know it was okay to cry.
"Is everything okay?" Chiaki looked at me glaring over at Nagito who was standing next to me.
She awkwardly put her hands on her hips looking a bit confused.

Kazuichi and Fuyuhiko stood next to her waiting for an answer from both of us. We stood in silence for a few minutes until Fuyuhiko spoke up.
"Okay does anyone wanna explain what the hell happened back there?" He questioned staring at us.

Nagito looked over at Chiaki, who's expression held guilt. He felt bad about all of the arguing, although Chiaki calling him out like that was strange and seemed to be unlike her.

"Yeah, well me and Hajime were just talking." Nagito explained not telling them we had made up.
Kazuichi gave me a worried glare but I put my hand on Nagito's shoulder reassuring him that everything was okay for the most part.
Chiaki shifted when I did that, still looking at me with annoyance on her face.

"We're okay, I was just talking to him making sure he wasn't upset still." I slipped out a semi lie.
"I just needed a friend to talk too." Nagito quickly said to tag along with my bad lie.
I knew they all questioned when he had said the bliss word of friend. I mean me and Nagito barely talked this whole trip and he had been pretty mean to me most of the time.
I now knew why and it was honestly a bit sad.

The air felt stuffy as emotions rose.
"Maybe we should all get over to the lobby? Or....." I cut off my sentence. No one answered and it got more awkward just standing there in silence.
"I don't know what happened but, I'm gonna head off to get some food. Kazuichi your coming right?"
Fuyuhiko glanced over at Kazuichi who was nodding in agreement.

The pitter patter of their feet was heard as they walked down the cement road away from the sand.
"So, do you guys need time to talk?" I suggested as I dug my foot deep into the sand we were standing on.

"Actually, Yeah Chiaki I wanted t-" Nagito stopped short at what Chiaki said.
"I don't wanna talk." She sighed and turned to walk speaking only to me.
"Are you coming Hajime?" She asked quietly.

I stood in confusion.
Why couldn't I walk with both of them?
I mean I really felt like me and Nagito should continue to talk but Chiaki was also a closer friend of mine now.
In result of my thinking I stayed in place.

"Okay I get it then." She began to walk away slowly. Leaving me and Nagito slumped in confusion.
"Guess she didn't want to apologize huh?" Nagito nonchalantly shrugged.

I sighed in frustration.
"We should get walking I guess." I stated.
We walked together down the paved road beginning to talk.
It felt so strange but also a bit normal.
"So what happened yesterday? Or with Chiaki I mean." I questioned waiting for a reply.

"Um, well, nothing really just you know a friendly argument." He shrugged again looking away from me. I didn't think calling your best friend out for being gay is a "friendly" argument.
That hadn't answered my question but I let it be at that.

We walked past the small pool in the front of the lobby and the restaurant.
It was a nice day out, there had been quite a few minutes of silence from the boy I was walking with.
"Hey, so.." I honestly had no idea what to say to him.

"I think we should go hangout in the lobby. What do you think?" Nagito stretched a bit seeming to be weakly again. I didn't question it though, it would be nice to maybe get to know him. The thoughts that were tucked in my brain seemed wrong today.

Me friends with him?
I was just going to have to get use to it.
He smiled and seemed to be content with me just being here with him.

Maybe he hadn't had a friend in a long time.
If I was stuck with a bunch of bullies and I was forced to bother someone or I would be hurt again I would have done the same thing.
So I don't blame him and that's why when he asked to hangout I didn't mind.

Me and Nagito had been sitting and talking in the small lobby. Talking about life felt uncomfortable, but good.

"I still can't believe Chiaki is this mad at me." Nagito sighed slumping and resting his fist on his face. His green eyes shifted to the side.
I chuckled a bit, he gave me a puzzled look.

"Hey, what's so funny about this?" He questioned quickly in defense.

"Nothing just, you guys are just such good friends I'm sure she will get over it." I reassured him as a small smile lit up his face.
"I hope so."

We got up and began to walk again there really wasn't much to do and somehow I was now friends with my bully, but honestly I was okay with this.

The island was pretty quiet and it was getting closer to the evening, frankly I was getting pretty tired. We hadn't ran into Chiaki at all, which I guess seemed to be a good thing with them fighting and all.
We strolled around a bit more staring at the trees swaying in the light wind that seemed to be here all day.

I really was hoping they wouldn't stay mad at each other for too long though.
