Wishes.
We all have them.
And for me, most of my wishes have came true.
Well, I have a good life. I have a beautiful husband, amazing friends, and overall, I enjoy it.
I uh- I don't like getting sentimental but sometimes I look at the stars when I can't sleep. When I do that, I'm always reminded on how beautiful life really is. Pair that with the quiet sounds of Nagito sleeping and it's pretty amazing.
Stargazing has become one of my hobbies since escaping the neo-world program. That and walking along the beach. Sometimes Nagito joins me and we just, silently gaze at each other or the sky.
It's so nice having Nagito as my husband. He's honestly one of the best people in my life. We did get off to a rocky start sure, but after we got closer it was clear to me that I loved this man. I remember when we first started going out. It was all so awkward how we confessed.
"Listen Nagito, stop degrading yourself. If you were really trash then why would I like you as much as I do?!"
"You like me?"
I remember Ibuki actually calling our relationship something. She called it a slow burn I think? Teruteru actually agreed with her, and described it as something straight out of a BL he read once.
I honestly don't get what any of it means. Nagito told me that a 'slow burn' is when two people slowly fall in love rather than over a few days, but he refuses to tell me what BL is. And I'm too cowardly to search it up myself because if Nagito says it's bad, then it ought to be bad. Especially if teruteru reads it.
I can't deny the truth though, and it's that's Nagito might not live too long. With all of his illnesses. Well, Mikan and I have managed to help with his cancer but it's just his dementia that can't be cured that's the problem.
Oh am I throwing myself into another sad mood? I can't help it. But I'm not about to go onto a whole angsty rant.
Honestly? Out of the two of us, I'm the lucky one. I got to meet him, and I had most of my dreams come true.
Nagito has told me some of his wishes before. During the killing game he said that he only wanted someone's love. I mean, if distancing yourself from everyone and refusing to grow bonds with them out of fear that they'll miss you must make you pretty lonely.
He's also told me things such as wanting to have a normal life without his luck interfering every two seconds. I've kinda granted that wish.
Because I've merged with Kamukura, I've gained his talents while retaining my personality, so I'm also ultimate luck. That's helped balance his luck out so not many things have happened to him.
Another one of his wishes was to have proper friends. And that wish had came true ages ago. It was similar to my wish actually. I wanted friends who would accept me, and help me achieve my goals.
Well that wish certainly came true. I have a husband who does that and a lot more.
Actually, we've been married a little under two years. Crazy to think that actually, it wasn't too long ago even though it still feels like only yesterday we got married.
"Hajime? You can't sleep again? That's the...I can't count anymore actually."
Nagito woke up and sat up, the blanket still wrapped around him. His eyelids looked heavy, so it was definitely true that he wanted to go back to sleep.
"I guess so. Please, go back to sleep." I say as quietly as possible to avoid anyone else hearing. I don't like accidentally waking people up, as I suddenly feel guilty for doing so.
"Not until you tell me what's going on this time." Well he's being his usual self.
"I was just thinking about wishes is all." I say carelessly as I watch Nagito sit up with the blanket still wrapped around him.
"Wishes? That's quite the peculiar topic. Anything happen to bring this up?" Nagito was being rather chatty for someone who was just woken up by his husband at four in the morning.
"Nothing in particular. Just my average night." I say. But Try as I may I don't think I'll be able to pry Nagito away from me this time. It's one of the only times he tells me off.
"Hajime. You need to sleep." He opened his arms while still holding the blanket, practically asking me to come cuddle him. He smiled, which how could I resist? He's my husband, and he looked absolutely adorable as well.
I crawl onto the bed into his arms and buried my head into his neck. He gently brushed through my hair with his hand, as if he was comforting me after something happened.
"So... what was it that brought it on tonight? You said wishes, what made you think of that?" He asks while letting me go and laying back down on his pillow. I continue to sit there on the mattress on my knees.
"I don't know. It was you I guess? I was thinking about us then it just came up. I guess that's not too weird now that you think about it." I say.
"Then tell me, what did you end up thinking about? I'm listening." He tried his hardest to keep his eyes open, and it worked.
"Well, you know how stargazing has became a hobby of mine right? It makes me think of things, and it always reminds me of you. And how all of our dreams have came true."
"Yea.....I get it....kind of." His words came out in between yawns, so I knew he was falling asleep. I lay next to him resting my hand on his palm.
"You've gotten what you told me you wanted. Someone's love, friends, your luck not interfering as much. I've gotten friends, and I've gotten something even better than any of my wishes. I've gotten you." I say, trying to shorten it down so he doesn't fall asleep again before I'm done.
"Really?" He yawned again. "How cheesy."
"That's just me though." I chuckled. "And you're stuck with this cheesy-ness for the rest of your life,"
"Sometimes I wish I didn't marry you." He said, lifting his hand to my cheek. "I'm joking if you couldn't tell."
"I know Nagito. I know." He then wrapped his arms around me and put his head on my chest.
"Now you can't leave me until morning~" he chuckled before sleep eventually caught up with him.
I laugh quietly.
I wish that we can be like this forever.
