"Hm...someone was actually here...who would want to break into trash like me's home..." he thought for a bit. He walked over to the kitchen. The food was still there. He sighed and heated it. He stood next to the microwave, "Maybe I should go to the park, that may help me set my mind off of it." The microwave beeped. He took the food out and set it on the counter. He walked back over to his room and got dressed. It had been warm lately, so he left his sweater out. He put the food in a lunch box and left the house. He walked along the sidewalk, looking at the lunchbox. He sighed. "Just walking to the park. This will clear up your head," he mumbled to himself. He then heard footsteps. He stopped. They were still going. Someone then passed him. "Um, Excuse me?" Nagito placed his hand on the person's shoulder. The person turned around, they wore a black hood, despite the temperature. "Hm? Can I help you?" The person looked at Nagito in confusion. "Im sorry if I'm bothering you but, were you perhaps following me?" Nagito asked. The person looked confused. "No, I'm just heading to the park right now." Nagito exhaled in relief, "Im heading there too, do you mind if I walk with you?" He sounded paranoid. The person smiled "I don't mind!" They continued walking for a while in silence until Nagito spoke, "Ah, it's pretty hot out today, you should probably take your hood off." The person nodded, "Ah, right." He took down his hood to reveal mid-back length hair. Nagito gasped, "Your hairs pretty..." The person laughed a bit, "Yours is too, It looks soft." He Smiled. Nagito smiled back, "Thanks, I recently got it done," Nagito's had side shaved hair, with the s e that was not shaved had fluff texture and covered his eye. "How long have you been growing out your hair?" Nagito questioned. The person stopped walking looked at him, "A couple of months I think." Nagito was amazed. "Also," The person stated, "Why did you sound scared earlier?" They asked. Nagito sighed, "Well, I may have a stalker, and there are two people I really don’t want to see.” he stated. The person looked down at their feet and mumbled something, then looked at Nagito. Nagito smiled tiredly, “It’s fine though, just normal stuff for me.” He looked behind him, “Oh no…” Two black-haired females approached them. The person looked behind them, “Hm, what’s wrong? Ah!-” The black-haired girl in red pinned Nagito to the wall. A girl with drills looked at him. “ $10,000 debt. You must pay up eventually.” She spoke. “I-I don’t have it..” he mumbled. “This is what you get for relying on pure luck and zero skill. Haru-Maki, you know what to do” The girl with drills said. The girl in red, apparently named Maki, started punching him repeatedly. He just took the hits like this was an everyday thing. It /was/ an everyday thing. Every day he couldn’t pay, pain would be the punishment. Suddenly the person put their hand on Maki’s shoulder. He looked at her coldly, “I only have $5000. Take it.” Maki scowled, “It’s still not enough.” The person pushed Maki away from Nagito and stepped in front of her, “I’ll pay. It’s half of what you want. Don’t hurt him.” Nagito stood behind the person, “You’d really do that for trash like me...?” The stranger tilted his head toward him and smiled, “Of course!” The girl with drills then walked over and snatched the money. Both of the girls then walked away. The person exhaled, “I finally got to do something…” Nagito looked confused, “Finally? But we just met...” The person turned around fully, “I mean like, I never get to help people, and I finally did! Heh,” The person smiled awkwardly. “Oh, alright.” Nagito answered. “Ah wait, we don't even know each others names, im Nagito Komeada.” The person mumbled something under their breath again, then looked at Nagito, “My names Hajime Hinata.” ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ ᴄᴏɴᴛɪɴᴜᴇᴅ
