Chapter Text
"So... you're gonna be staying there lollygagging or you're just gonna jump off?"
I suddenly turn around, to find a guy hanging upside-down from the high wall of the rooftop area. From what I can say, He is what everyone would refer to as a Gaikokujin. It is obvious by his dark skin appearance, sporting a midnight blue medium length natural quiff with tapered sides cut hairstyle.
For apparent reason, he is looking unamused with a pair of blue eyes by what am I'm doing right now.
"What? Cat got your tongue? I'm asking if you're gonna jump off or kept staring down the ground? It's been 10 minutes and here, I see that you are having second thoughts."
What the heck with this guy? How didn't I sense him around here earlier? And what did he mean that I am having second thoughts? I will jump!
"I-"
The guy then drops off from the high wall and do some roll as he hit the ground. He then approaches me, suddenly giving me chills around the guy who is now heading here. For some reason, he is looking pass me with no emotion shown on his face. As he stops by my side at the edge of the school rooftops, He starts to speak again.
" Look. I can tell you are having a bad day now that you are here like this but... Didn't you ever think what would happened if anyone sees you dead after this? I mean, you do have a family right? "
Family my ass. They come home late night and working for the society like a slave. Don't know if I could call them my parents if they kept doting their favorite daughter of theirs. Even my dad don't want me to be a bad influence with Komachi!
But then again... I can't help it but agree with what this guy said. Despite having this deadbeat as a brother to a cute little sister, Komachi still wants to hang out with me and will always comfort me on anything bad happened to me.
Damn... can't believe I am having second thoughts just when I decided to end it all here.
"Why do you care?"
"Don't know. Say, how about I be your councilor or something for the time being? Tell me what's bugging you into this thing you are doing?"
" W-What? Y-you didn't know those rumors? I mean, you know who I am?"
" Nope! I just got here two months ago. Rumors and all that, I don't see it a problem for me to hear what's your problem or even get to know more about you. Say, how about let's start out with some introduction? The name is Hazama Suleiman Reikano. Just call me Hazama or Suleiman if you want."
Taken aback from this guy's straight forward sudden introduction, I was reluctant to tell him to scram. Instead, for some reason, I was obliged to introduce myself as well.
" I-I see... Then... My name is Hikigaya Hachiman. Call me Hikigaya"
From there onwards, I start to speaks out my problem to him with what happening with my that causes me to be on the edge of my suicide attempt. I explained to him that ever since I was in elementary, I was ridiculed by my peers, calling me 'frog face'. Since then, I don't have any friends that even one time on their school's camp day, he was rejected from the fire camp dance. Now in middle school, things comes for the worse. Got fake love letters and fake confession just to make fun of me, was accused of being a creep and was bullied because of my loner status. Worse of all, I was rejected when I confess my love to someone and the bullying is getting worse.
"You could say that my life turns to shit. Sometimes I wonder if my eyes or something are the cause of this. But NO. I'd say it is bullshit. THIS DAMN SCHOOL ITSELF IS SHIT!"
And that last part came out from my loud voice. For some reason, I can feel the anger bottled up in me starts to burst out from my confession. At the same time, it felt that I start to feel at peace from that confession as well.
And for some reason, I was embarrassed by my sudden outburst in the end that I should have look where I step back from...
I mean... that's a big fall from what I can see.
And right before my eyes, a hand reach out for me to grab...
and I take it.
As I got onto the safer side of the rooftop, I was sweating profusely, leaning on to the railings by that near death experience. From the side, the guy who saved me just standing there laughing from what I just experience. This damn bastard laughing to some near accident. Why don't you feel it when you are on my side huh!?
" Sorry, sorry... anyway, from what I heard just now, you really got it bad huh?"
" Of course I am...It is the norm of a loner to being ridiculed anyway..."
Then, we stay there silent for a few seconds until he speaks up again.
"Then how about a friend to help you out of that shithole? Wanna start rolling with me?"
Surprised by the suggestion, I look up to the guy in front of me, reach out a hand to me.
Yeah, I am surprised. Shocked is a more suitable word for what face I'm making.
All this time, society is something I would always despise off for making me into what I am.
A loner.
A person with no one to be with.
It does felt like something that I would take to be one.
But...
But if fate is giving me a chance to reform myself from this deadbeat self, a chance to change from being a weak guy who is bullied just because I am a loner...
Alright then... I'd take that poison. I'll take it as a chance for me to be better than what I am.
And that first step... is by taking his hand.

*Phone vibrates*
"..."
...
"Got it. Just get the package on one of the checkpoint. Your mark."
...
"Yeah... I expected that. Again... why you picked that route? You know I had to do a hard landing after that part of the section?"
...
"What a drag... You know what? Fine. You owe me a meal at Saize."
...
"What's wrong with- Nevermind that. Just get the drone there and I'll pick it up on the way to the location. Call you later"
...
" Alright then... time for some Pulses Station... What's in stock for the night?"
"Hellooooo, Fellow Kouriers! Tonight is gonna be one our sister station, the Shogun Station is celebrating their 3rd anniversary! Anyone wants some J-pop and J-rock tunes comin up in their list, just tune into their frequency!"
Huh. It's been that long since their establishment huh? I'll check into that station later.
" And now, that is out of our way. Next up, we have our full request list in our hand! Comin in first on our list, a runner from Japan named Eight-"
Just hearing my codename makes me to raise my fist.
" And it is one of Pulse best in the list! Hear out From the Best of Chvrches, Never said Die."
( **Music Plays: Chvrches - Never Said Die**)
'Wasn't it gonna be fun and wasn't it gonna be new?'
'Wasn't it gonna be different and wasn't it gonna be true?'
As the song starts up, I am at the starting line, ready for a running leap.
'Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?'
'Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?'
Then, I run.
*Taps!, taps!, taps!, taps!, taps!*
'Weren't you gonna be sorry and weren't you gonna be pure?'
'Weren't we gonna be honest and weren't we gonna be more?'
*Taps!, taps!, taps!, taps!, taps!*
'Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?'
'Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?'
*Taps!, taps!, taps!, taps!, taps! TANG!*
"..."
All you want is to play at playing god
But I'm falling in, I'm falling out
All you need is to play at playing god
And I'm falling in, I'm falling out
And As the song about to drop, I immediately press something in my left palm and raise my arms to the sides. Then, a pair of thin cloth on each of my sides starts appearing, allowing me to glide to my next checkpoint.
As of right now, jumping off top of Chiba's highest tower while doing a backflip to free fall, and straight up gliding when the beat kicks in, is one of my favorite things to do right now. At least that is the fun part of this job.
The people who can see far below might say that I am suicidal or something.
But it is what it is.
A job that give only one meaning, but someone decided to make it into something...
Amazing, stylish, bold, insane...
But in the end, it is fun all and all.
This is what 'Kouriers' will get when they taking this job. Just a simple delivery job, turns into a sport that altogether becoming unbelievably surreal.
If there's any job other than being a house-husband, a music producer or slave of a company which I would avoid, I'd rather take this job any day wherever I want.
Yup, Imma take this shit anytime than that trashy desk job that even my homie hates.
Now... back to my job and time to enjoy this sweet feel of freedom in the air.
This is my time.
A/N:
AAAANNNNDDDDD...
CUT!
Welcome ladies and Gentlemen to a new chapter and a new story made for our best loner boi(Not loner anymore), Hikigaya Hachiman!
This is Renashi, and I am back with a new story...
...
...
...
Why are you booing me? I'm right. I am back to writing more for my stories as this is not the only thing I've been working on. I can't blame the Uni works I'm kept busy with since I just kept procrastinating on this hobby of mine lately.
Yeah... I need help.
Anyway, back to our story. Let's focus on this guys.
Ok. So basically, this is somewhat a new concept or a new take on writing Hachiman as somewhat a changed person and different from his original I am working on. As you can see in the early part of the prologue, he starts to befriend someone which I can't tell you much about but hoping to expand more on his friend in the future. As for where this story takes place, it will set in the beginning of Oregairu itself, with some changes in the plot since this is a different Hachiman I have made here. I have planned for a prequel on how Hachiman starts to become a 'Kourier', But I need to do more research on things related to the job.
Speaking of the 'Kouriers', it is an story idea that I planned to make into an original story in the future. Don't know when but it will be there someday alongside my other major originals. And this is not the only 'Kouriers'-related story that I will be writing. I have more crossover ideas with this story idea I am making. Similar to this one well known writer in Infinite Stratos's Fanfiction(.)net fandom, Kerlongsj Evert Orlejov. I mean, I have read most of his fanfictions that features his own OCs and was hoping to do something similar. So for the Author I have mention earlier, I apologize if this is somewhat something I copy from how you write in your stories. But Honestly, I can really see that this kind of idea could also help bring up into creating an original story based on the OCs we've made.
Now, onto what the 'Kouriers' are...
That will be tell in the next chapter. I'll just let you guys speculating so enjoy! But There is a hint in the story's cover that I've made here using Adobe AI. Seeing something similar with the cover?
Aaaannnndd time to wrap up with this A/N with some word from me.
I'll be honest, I am procrastinating too much in my stories and even I have finished their storylines before being able to convey the stories and their endings online. In other words, I can finish most of my stories since they have their own endings already. However, I need to start moving my hands and write them up as much as possible.
If You have something nearly done, JUST FINISH IT OFF THEN. Don't just stand there lollygaging!
All in all, I can't make any promise but telling you guys that some of my stories will might get an update in the future. So stay tune, and keep reading my stories and the rest of the whole fanfiction around the internet if you can. And hope that you enjoy.
That is all, thank you for reading. Do please leave a review and hope to see you guys again in the next chapter.
