Chapter Text
Nagito was suprised at how quick his class- his friends- had put the events in the neo world program in the past and forgiven him. And yet still he couldn't stop apologizing for everything. He had a lot of stuff to apologize for. But even after everything- the life expectancy of a year that Nagito had seemed to fly by like it was only a few months. Nagito himself didn't even realize how much time had passed until he started having high fevers, headaches, dizziness and weakness in every limb of his fragile body. At the very worst he couldn't even pick up his phone. And that's when he realized something. Something he was scared to admit. Scared to say out loud. His time was running out. He was dying. Nagito groaned as his phone buzzed uncontrollably next to him. He turned around in his bed and reached for it. There were two notifications. One from the groupchat he and the rest of the class was on, and the second a reminder to take his meds. He stood up- wavering a bit and taking support on a wall before his legs started working again and he went to take his medication. After that he walked back to his bed and sat onto it and grabbed his phone again to check the messages in the group chat. He was hoping for something like Ibuki asking about homework again or something harmless like that. Maybe a small conversation about an upcoming game or a movie? Nope. Unfortunately it was not that. It was an invitation to go somewhere, as a group. Everyone had already seemed to agree. Apparently Hajime noticed that Nagito was online since he asked if Nagito was coming. Well, it would be rude to say no. Wouldn't it? Besides maybe his luck would let him stay up and well for a few hours.
Hajimeme: Nagito are you coming with us as well?
Komemeda: Yes I suppose, where are we planning to go?
Soda can: Shopping or beach.
Two-gami: Shopping sounds better.
Disney princess: Agreed
Hajimeme: So it's decided then?
Everyone answered with a yes and Nagito put his phone away to get changed. His balance wanted to fail him multiple times but he managed to get his clothes changed and get himself out of the door. Their assigned meeting place was in front of the new sushi restaurant at the mall. When he made it there a few people already had arrived, Sonia Nevermind, Hajime Hinata, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, Peko Pekoyama and Gundham Tanaka. Soon, everyone else arrived and their day could start. A day Nagito hoped he could make it out of. Everyone were saying their own suggestions about where they should be going but Akane's was the most clearest.
"Can we please go try out that new sushi restaurant?" She whined. She was clearly hungry but it wasn't that suprising since that was what she always was. A few seemed to agree. Well it was early in the morning and no one had most likely not eaten anything yet. So they decided to go eat first. Nagito didn't feel like eating anything but he also knew that not eating anything for the whole day wouldn't be the smartest move if he didn't want his illnesses to ruin his day. He took a few sushi rolls and ate two of them and then just started pocking them with his chopsticks. Everyone was cheerfully chatting and Nagito did his best to join the conversation at some points but he started to feel dizzy whenever he tried to so he just decided to stay quiet and observe the others while trying to eat more of his food. "Are you okay Nagito? You're awfully quiet." Hajime suddenly asked which startled Nagito a bit and he flinched a little.
"Ah! Oh, yes I am." Nagito smiled after he had regained himself from his shock. Hajime didn't exactly seem convinced but nodded anyway and continued his conversation with the others. After Akane had taken her fifth plate they paid for their food and started walking around the mall and buying basically anything that seemed interesting to them. By the end of it they had numerous bags full f stuff to carry. Nagito bet it looked hilarious to the people who stopped to stare at them. When they had went through every shop in the huge mall they were ready to leave and Nagito had to bite back a sigh of relief. Until Sonia suggested something.
"There's an antique shop away from downtown! We should go there! I heard that the stuff they sell there are so beautiful." She exclaimed. All of Nagito's classmates seemed excited about the idea. All except him. What was he supposed to do? He couldn't just leave now and hope no one would notice! Hajime was holding his hand for gods sake! Everyone else turned to him- expecting an answer since he was the only one who had not yet agreed. He gave a small smile. "Sounds exciting! Good idea, Sonia." He stated. Sonia's eyes sparkled from joy and she threw her hand into the air. "Let's go then!" she exclaimed. They started walking towards the nearest busstop and got on the bus once it came. They got off on their stuff and Sonia laughed in excitement when she saw the shop a little farther away. His friends were talking to eachother, smiling and laughing. Nagito was laughing as well.
Suddenly every noise that was made started sounding blurry and disordered in Nagito's ears. Black spots started filling his vision that danced around, dissapeared and reappeared. His head hurt- a lot. He slowed down and pressed a hand against his forehead. He gasped when the pain in his head intensified. That was when everyone else noticed. Even Hajime who had let go of his when they ahd gotten onto the bus. They all turned to him and their smiles melted off of their faces. Nagito pressed his hand harder against his head. The pain wasn't stopping. It was only getting worse. A lot worse.
"Nagito? Are you sure you're alright?" Someone asked. A female. Her voice sounded like Sonia. Goddamit why couldn't he see anything? Hear anything? Why did his head hurt so bad? The black spots in his vision were increasing and his head felt like it was going to explode. He should've just went home! "I-I'm fine." Nagito tried to say between breaths. He gasped and whimpered. His legs started shaking. Fuck.
Hajime stepped closer and started saying something that Nagito couldn't make out. His legs felt weak. Did he weight this much? His arms were shaking too, his head weighted this much? "Hey loser! What is this?" Hiyoko. "Nagito! Answer me!" Hajime, that was Hajime. "T-This seems bad." Mikan?
Nagito tried to open his mouth to say that he was alright but he found himself in a situation where he could only exhale. Not inhale air in at all. He shifted both of his hands from his head to his chest and tried to gasp in air pressing down on his chest weakly to try and get the blockage out and get air in. Someone stepped closer to him, grey hair? Or did he just lose all the colors in his vision. No, Peko had grey hair. Was that her?
Nagito made one more weak gasp before he collapsed and the world went dark.
The next few minutes all happened in a blur. Mikan started to panic. Peko caught Nagito and checked his pulse and his breathing. Luckily both had returned to normal. Hajime ran to his boyfriend. Panicking but managing to somewhat calm himself down. Sonia acted fast and soon an ambulance was already taking Nagito, Hajime and Mikan to the nearest hospital. The others stood there in panic before starting to make their way to the hospital as well. Each and every one of them getting a taxi and telling the driver to be as fast as possible. Saying that they were worried would be an understatement. When they reached the hospital they almost got kicked out immediately from the noise they were making.
"Hajime!" Fuyuhiko yelled as he and the rest of the class noticed him leaning against a wall and breathing heavily. His eyes were wide and small drops of sweat were running down his face. His hands were clenched into fists tightly and were already turning white. Fuyuhiko tried to ask what was wrong but the brunette stayed quiet. Tears were starting to gather in his eyes. "You're a boy. Man up and tell us what's going on! You got the diagnose about Nagito and Mikan isn't here so it's your duty tell us what's wrong with him!" Mahiru yelled while pointing her finger at Hajime. Despite her attitude it was clear she was just as worried as everyone else. She just didn't want to show it in front of the others. Nekomaru's face turned even more worried as he started speaking. "Don't tell me he's dead." He stated and a few people turned to glare at him for even making such a statement.
Hajime took a deep breath. "The doctors knew who he was. Said he had been here before. Multiple times." He started and everyone fell quiet. Listening to every word he said. "They had his medical records. He's- not well. Not well at all." Hajime stated. "What do you mean?" Peko asked with her face as unreadable as ever but Hajime guessed that she was worried. Just not showing it. "He's... sick. Very sick." The heterochromic boy continued. His green and red eyes starting to glow with tears thats shined in the light. "How sick?" Sonia asked with her hands pressed against her chest together. Hajime took a deep breath and cleaned his eyes from tears.
"He's dying."
