Is It Bad That My Immediate First Thought To Seeing This New Character Was:

Is it bad that my immediate first thought to seeing this new character was:

Holy frick. Izuru Kamakura is in Pokémon?

Another idea combination from IsabelleFukawa and Sapphire on ao3! Though I did kinda take some creative liberties.

And this is also for everyone that wanted to see Hajime’s reaction to the previous drabble’s ending.

Without further adieu, please enjoy!

Colds were not fun. That much was obvious for the days after the storm. His nose ran, his limbs were achy, and his throat was sore. But thankfully, it didn’t last very long. And with medicine and rest, Hajime was back to full health in no time.

Much to the great relief of a specific reptile, that was for certain. Nagito had been really good in leaving him be in his home other than staying close to the house. He would occasionally tap on the glass of the windows and patio door to inquire about his condition. But he didn’t try to grab or hold him, allowing him to get lots of rest. And Hajime could tell that the naga had been really worried when he couldn’t touch or really see him. He was far too large to enter the house.

So the day that Hajime exited the house and announced his good health, he was immediately scooped up and nuzzled. This was accompanied by a string of questions and praise. About how he was doing and how amazing he was to get through the illness. Hajime also took notice after a bit how the naga was trying to subtly move away from the house.

“Hey, I still have to work today. So don’t you think about it,” he stated with a hard poke.

“Awwww,” Nagito whined, but he did stop his movement. “Why must factors of life bar us from being together all the time?” he lamented in a sad voice.

Hajime rolled his eyes. “You know it’s necessary. I need to work to get money to continue living. That’s how the human world works.”

Nagito sighed. “Yes, you have told me. I will say that I don’t fully understand or like it, but I shall allow it.” He lowered the human back to the ground, lowering himself as well to continue nuzzling. “But I can survive this ordeal. I know you shall return to me eventually. And I’m comforted by other facts as well.”

Something about that statement struck Hajime as odd. “Huh? Other facts? What other facts?”

He could see a grin growing on the larger creature’s face. “Oh, something you told me the first day you were sick.”

The human felt his heart momentarily stop. He didn’t recall practically anything after falling asleep in the naga’s cave. His next clear memories were waking up in his home much later. What could he possibly have said? “Um… can you remind me? Of what I said?”

Nagito pulled away just enough to make eye contact. “That you thought I was one of the greatest people in your life. And that I was important to you. Such kind words! Ones that I will never forget!”

Hajime felt his face instantly flush deep red. Had he really said those things? To Nagito? It wasn’t that they were untrue. It was just that he hadn’t expected them to be told so soon.

“Ummm… I have to go to work now. So… yeah. I’ll see you later,” Hajime managed to get out before turning and fast walking back to his home.

“Huh? Oh. Alright! Good luck!” Nagito called out behind him. A subtle glance back revealed the naga still smiling with a hint of a smirk. He knew what he had done.

He shut the patio door behind him and rushed to the bathroom, shutting that door behind him as well. He rested his hands on the side of the sink, staring at his crimson face in the mirror. “Get a hold of yourself, Hinata. You have to. So what if your true feelings about Nagito were admitted before you wanted? It’s…” He groaned and buried his head in his hands. “Who am I kidding? I can’t stay calm about this.”

He took a few deep breaths, trying to settle himself down. It worked… slightly. His cheeks were still red and he looked frazzled. Hopefully Makoto wouldn’t point it out when they had their morning meeting.

Actually… maybe his coworker could help him out with this. He had experience with expressing strong feelings to another. Maybe this would work out after all.

**********

At first, Nagito hadn’t been worried. He had predicted that his reveal would inspire strong and overwhelming feelings in the human. Ones that may make him retreat for a while.

But that had been days ago. And he rarely saw Hajime during that time. He only got glimpses about once a day when the brunette would peek out of his house and tell him he needed more time to himself with hurried apologies. Then nothing.

It began to dampen his mood and spirit. He began second guessing his decision to reveal the information. Had he utterly destroyed what they had? Would he not be welcomed back? Would he go back to his solitary existence? He wasn’t sure he could go back to that after learning what companionship was like. Hence why he obeyed the human’s requests for time alone, desperately hoping for something to happen.

On day four though, he couldn’t take it anymore. He had to peek in. And so as stealthily as he could, he did so. He was able to witness something. Hajime was at his desk and was furiously scribbling something in a notebook. He was hyper focused on his task, not noticing the large creature at his window. At least, not until he threw his hands in the air with a groan and turned to look out the window suddenly.

Nagito tried his absolute best to duck out of sight quickly. But he knew he had been caught. Feeling ashamed, he retreated to the forest’s edge, laying down in the sun with his back to the human residence. Had he messed up? Maybe Hajime really wouldn’t ever come out again. He was the worst. A terrible existence. A hopeless mess.

He wallowed in his misery there for a while. Nothing around him grabbed his attention. Nothing else mattered. His eyes glazed over, not retaining any sights in front of him. All that was important was reminding himself about how stupid he was.

“Umm… Nagito?”

Was that Hajime’s voice? Oh it was so wonderful to hear. Even if it was a delusion of his horrible mind.

“Nagito? Can you hear me?”

It was nice. The delusion was trying hard to be real. Well, who was he to stop it? He could have one last comfort before complete loneliness.

“Nagito!!!”

The naga sighed. He could have sworn that he felt something touch his tail. He must be far gone already. That hadn’t taken long. His glazed over eyes lidded, a sad smile growing.

That was until something yanked hard on a lock of his hair.

His green eyes refocused, looking down to see the human in front of him. The pain was enough to convince him that this was no delusion. This was real. Hajime was in front of him. And looking ticked off.

“Oh! So you are here! That’s very relieving. I haven’t lost my mind yet!” Nagito practically cheered.

Hajime looked very confused. “What? What are you talking about?”

Nagito smiled wide, wider than a human would be able to. “I thought my selfish need to check on your activities was the end! But here you are! Out of the house and here with me! Oh, I am so happy! I missed you so much during these long days.”

The brunette flushed again, looking off to the side. “Y-yeah… that…”

The naga brought his tail tip closer to them both, grabbing onto it with a hand. It was a habit he had developed when he was a child. He felt compelled to do it when stress began building. He felt like holding his scaled tail assisted in grounding him. So it helped his mind try to settle as he spoke again. “I apologize for peeking in earlier. I swear I didn’t see anything that you wrote. I was just worried about you. But I know it was rude and invasive. I understand if you want me to go and never return. That way you can be spared from my foul presence. Who would want someone like me around? I should know my pl-”

“Stop.”

Nagito did, shutting his mouth the second he heard those words. Hajime was staring up at him with a firm, if not a little annoyed, expression. “We have discussed this multiple times. What are you not supposed to do?”

Nagito glanced down at the grass. “… talk bad about myself.”

Hajime crossed his arms. “And why is this a rule?”

The green tail was gripped tighter. “To help my self confidence.”

“Good.” Hajime began petting the bridge of his nose. He happily melted into the touches. “Now then. To address the earlier event. I have no intention of leaving you to be alone. If anything, it’s the opposite.”

That piqued the naga’s interest. “The… opposite?”

The flush returned once more. “Yeah.” Hajime took a second to clear his throat. “It’s about what I said when I was sick. It’s all true. You are extremely important to me and I don’t intend to let our companionship die. I want to spend the next several years getting to know you better. And I wanted to thank you for accepting me as me. Not many people in my life have done that. So, it really means a lot.” The human finished nervously running his hand through his hair. “And I need to apologize as well. I caused you worry for the past few days. I was trying to… sort my feelings out. You know me, this kind of thing is unusual and different. So I was… anxious about it.”

Nagito had to remember to breathe after waiting with baited breath to hear all of what Hajime had to say. Every word was seared into his brain. These were officially the best moments in his life. “Hajime… that means more to me than you will ever realize. And I am so, so grateful.”

He finally worked up the courage to move again, moving his hands around the smaller man, lifting him up and burying his face into his body. “This is truly paradise. Nothing could make this better. It’s perfect.”

Hajime patted his cheek. “Well, I’m glad you think so. So don’t expect me to spill my emotional guts again. It took a lot to be able to do this. Don't expect it to be a regular occurrence.”

The naga laughed softly. “I won’t, I won’t. Rest assured I know.” He peeked down at his human with a questioning glance. “But I do have one thing to ask. What were you trying to write down earlier?”

The human groaned as he leaned forward to try and escape the reptilian gaze. “That was my attempt to write my thoughts in a coherent and legible way. Makoto told me it helped him in confessing to Kyoko. Turns out I suck at that too. So also don’t wait for any poems or grand letters.”

Nagito nodded carefully, hugging Hajime as close as he could. “Don’t worry. Your verbal words are all I need!”

Ooooooooo!

I love!

Thank you for drawing me and my fluffy gay arsonist son!!!

My portion for an art trade I did with the lovely @draconicsparkle!!!!!

(Version without text under the cut :P,)

Drawing Mew was super fun!!

The babies!!!

Commission for @draconicsparkle !

Art trade!!!

Writing is a form of art, right? Anyways, this is my piece of the trade with @moontail13. Inspired from a piece of art we really liked by @tortadecereji. Hope you like it!

There were many pros to owning a home near a great and large forest. Plenty of space, noise minimal, and a sense of calm that was simply not present in a city. Clean air and pleasantly dark nights were also wonderful.

But if someone asked Hajime what a con was to living near the woods, he would have told them the wildlife.

More specifically, a particular animal. One of the reptilian variety. And one that was currently tapping a large claw on the glass of his large balcony door.

“Haaajimmeeeeee,” a sly and hypnotizing voice slithered in, much like it’s owner’s method of travel. But the human grabbed the extra pillow and put it over his head, turning his body away from the doors. Couldn’t he enjoy sleeping in at least once? Was that too much to ask?

Apparently it was, as the tapping became more incessant. “I know you can hear me, my little treat. So why don’t you come out and greet me? You don’t want to be rude to a guest, do you?”

If it was anyone else, then yes, Hajime would spring up to welcome them. But this creature was an exception to that. So he continued to try and ignore the voice. Maybe today he will give up and leave.

But a part of him knew it was foolish to think there was even a chance at that happening. The creature outside his home had proven on multiple occasions to be very persistent.

“Oh my! No response from my dear Hajime? Is he possibly in trouble? I guess I have no choice but to investigate!”

That was all the warning he got before the door slid open, slowly and teasingly. Hajime stayed still in a pitiful attempt to avoid detection. But of course, it didn’t work. That much was evident when a large heat source approached him and enclosed around his body. Once he felt the physical contact, that’s when he gave up being still and began wiggling to escape, the blanket falling away from his body as he was raised. The creature chuckled as he felt the useless struggle, pulling his captured prey away from the bed and out the balcony door.

Hajime glared as best as he could while adjusting to the bright and harsh light that he was suddenly exposed to. “Nagito! I told you to stop doing this!”

He got a fanged smile in response. “And good morning to you, small one.”

Nagito was not a usual woodland creature. His classification was one of the Naga species. A creature with the upper torso of a human and the tail of a serpent. In Nagito’s case, his scales were a beautiful emerald green with golden belly scales. And he was large. Very large. So large that he could easily hold a person in his hand. Which was what he was currently doing with Hajime.

The human continued to try and escape, if only to show his agitation at the whole situation. “It is NOT a good morning. I thought you made a promise to me that you wouldn’t do this again! Clearly you broke it!”

“Ah ah ah, I did not break my promise,” Nagito replied, not losing his cheeky grin. “I promised you that I would try to work on this habit. And I did try, only to fail. Therefore, I kept my word!” He turned his body to the forest, beginning to slither in that direction. “Now then, let us go!”

“Wait! Hold on! Don’t I get a say in this!?” Hajime cried out, struggles increasing as he saw his house grow distant with every passing second.

“Hmmm… Nope!” Nagito cheerily announced, ruffling the short brown hair. “I shut the door behind you, so nothing will get into the house. So there’s nothing to worry about!”

They passed the forest's edge, the large trees soon blocking the view of his house. And that was what finally killed the fight in Hajime. He went limp in the naga’s hold, surrendering to his fate of entertaining the creature for the day.

It didn’t go unnoticed. “There we go. I knew you would come around!” Nagito lifted him up and gently nuzzled him against his cheek. “Don’t worry, I’ll take us to the berry grove first. I still find it fascinating how often your kind needs to eat. It’s much simpler to eat a large meal once a week. You should try it!”

Hajime sighed and let the creature do what he wanted. “No thanks, I would rather not starve.”

Nagito hummed as he continued through the forest. “It would be unfortunate if my favorite human got sick from malnourishment. It would cut down on our time together. It is already a pain when I have to let you go to do your job. I can’t follow you into your home.”

“Don’t you dare try. You will wreck it,” Hajime ordered. He worked from home and needed to stay inside to get enough connection to work properly. It had taken a lengthy explanation to the naga to acquire that undisturbed time. He relished in it.

He didn’t hate the time spent with Nagito. But the creature’s insistence to be together almost all the time could be very draining.

“We are here!” Nagito announced, lowering his hand down to the ground and releasing his captive. “Eat as much as you want! They should be very ripe!”

Hajime stumbled a bit, regaining his footing after a few seconds. He stood up straight and watched as the naga moved away from him and towards some large flat rocks. He curled his snake half up on the rocks and laid his human half on the grass, sighing in contentment as he began warming up from the sunlight.

The sight made Hajime pause. He looked so relaxed and happy like this. And the human had to admit that the sight was a pretty one. The green scales sparkled in the sunlight, much like precious gemstones. And the rest of his features were easy on the eyes as well.

Hajime stopped himself, shaking his head before focusing on filling his complaining stomach. Just as the naga had said, the fruit was ripe. He was able to eat a fair few before he felt satisfied.

Now that the issue of hunger was gone, he wondered what was next. Often, Nagito would immediately scoop him back up and carry him off to explore the forest. But the large creature showed no intention of moving from his current spot, basking in the sun’s rays.

Hajime knew better than to wander off and away from the naga. As beautiful as the forest was, it was still full of potential danger. He didn’t know it very well and had no ideas as to what direction was the correct way to return to his home. And also, the other wild animals that were present. Being near the naga deterred the others from attempting anything.

Nagito was his key to returning home. A fact that the creature knew as well, hence why he wasn’t monitoring at the moment.

But as annoying as this situation could be, Hajime did find some enjoyment out of it. He was able to see so much that many could not. And he could do so with a guarantee of safety. There was also the fact that it provided the human with some social contact, as his home was a bit isolated.

There were pros. There were cons. But that was true of most things in life.

Settling on that conclusion, he began moving. Seeing as there wasn’t much to do now, he did the first thing that popped into his mind. He was bored and still a bit tired, so he decided to go join the naga in his warm spot.

He reached the large creature and took a seat on the grass, leaning back against the crossed arms. The touch alerted the naga to his presence, a single reptilian eye opening. “Hajime? Are you done?”

“Yeah,” he confirmed. “But I know you won’t move once you are comfortable. So I figured I might as well do the same.”

A moment of silence. Then the large arms moved. It happened so fast that it took the human a few seconds to realize what had occurred. Nagito had moved him so that he was now inside the space behind his crossed arms, close to his face and neck. “Ahhh, this is much better. Don’t you agree?”

While his personal space was all but gone, he did think it was a bit more comfortable. The light was blocked and he was in shadow. But it was still a nice and warm temperature. His sleepiness returned full force at this conclusion. “Sure. Now I’m going to take a nap. No rude awakenings this time.”

He heard a giggle as he laid down and closed his eyes. “I suppose I can do that. Sleep well, my little one.”
