[semi-open] second truth bullet: hinata's memory

Who: Hajime Hinata and YOU
What: A catch-all log for Hinata throughout the month! Closed things will added by request, open things for stuff outside of event top-levels
Where: Various
When: Mostly June, at least one or two things backdated to late May
Warnings: SPOILERS for chapter 4 of Super Dangan Ronpa 2, after the Final Dead Room Discussion

Notes: Hinata will be undergoing a canon update that will have taken place on the 4th! He will be approaching things considerably more depressed and/or apathetic after this takes place, so you're welcome to tag him between the 1st and 3rd if you'd rather have normal Hinata! However, the threads that take place after the canon update are very important. It's something I've detailed more on plurk, but essentially there's something of a "game" that I have going. Hinata now has a "trust" level that's been reset to 0 - if his points are positive enough, he will be updated to either chapter 5 or the end of the game, and if his points fall too far, he will be "reverted" to one of two earlier canon points (chapter 1 or pre-game) and lose all of his Yogen memories. Close CR has more weight at first, but anyone has the power to affect him, so feel free to take a shot at raising or lowering those points!

If you have any questions or would like to plot things, feel free to reach me at

Yamadori! (You're also welcome to write starters for me as well, just give me a heads up first!)

[Hinata can't sleep anymore.

Ever since the day of the student council election, he can barely get through the night without seeing that gruesome scene of the students fighting each other, of Ishimaru having to-

...

Sometimes, in the dreams, Ishimaru is killing him instead, or he's in Ishimaru's place. A few times it's him, killing his surviving friends that are probably still on Jabberwock Island. Other times it's his dead friends, killing Hinata so they can live.

He sleeps through the night fitfully, thinking he can smell blood before he restlessly falls back asleep.

On the night of the 3rd, Hinata really can't get back to sleep, the dream just a little too vivid, and now he's wide awake. It's the worst time of day, too - late, too late for them to make any noise, so Hinata's resolving himself to being trapped with his own thoughts at the worst possible time as he begrudgingly rolls to his feet.

It's eerie, hearing absolutely nothing as he exits his classroom and begins to wander through a few others, but he holds out hope that maybe the muscle memory of taking a walk will somehow be enough of a distraction.

He doesn't keep track of the rooms he's entering, but it's in one in particular that he opens the door - and a figure is there. It takes a moment to figure out in the moonlight, but-

Komaeda, he tries to say, automatically, and can't. Can feel his lips forming the name, but it can't be heard and it leave Hinata somehow feeling... bereft.]

( he's grown used to the silence, the emptiness that comes from everything when he walks around or stays in one area — it's all lackluster, but he guesses this is his life. he's heard sound during the night once, and ever since then, things have remained the same. he's vulnerable like everyone else around him, the silence adding an element of surprise, but he's too overjoyed to really think about it now. the fight between ishimaru and madison went excellently well to the point he can't stop thinking about it, and the itch in his heart won't leave.

with his hands hidden in his pockets, his finger idly brushes against the ring that was gifted to him — playing with that too makes him happy, it's because it's something that means a lot. from the meaning behind it to who it came from, and as much as komaeda tries not to show any attachment to him or to anything he does — it's hard given who he is, who he will be, and the fact that once again he's been forced to reside in the body of a mere reserve course. there's many feelings that goes through his head every time he touches the ring, thinking, wondering until...

he sighs, not even audible, but hinata can see the way komaeda's shoulders fall slack as he stares outside — could there be something bothering him? he goes through a flurry of emotions himself, but given his health, it's normal, and so while his mind bounces back and forth between ishimaru and hinata, his eyes glance at the floor in thought. leaving himself open to being bothered, besides, he couldn't even hear when the other came in.

actually, when has komaeda ever been left out in the open with the light kissed along his frame, and even his hair glows from the moon's rays. )

[He stays and watches just a moment longer. Even if he shouldn't. He feels a little bad doing it, but... Hinata never catches Komaeda like this, quiet and lost in thought. Gentle, if he lets the light frame him just right.

But that'll make him thinks of things he shouldn't, so he decides not to linger on that any longer. He doesn't know what makes him move further into the classroom - but he'd feel embarrassed if someone just stared at him without saying anything, so he moves forward.

It feels just as weird for Komaeda to not know that he's approaching - sharp, always mindful Komaeda. But he keeps going until he's in Komaeda's range of vision. Hopefully that's less startling then reaching out to touch him.

Hinata goes this far... but he can't say anything, still. Even if he doesn't know what he would say if he could speak...]

( luckily for him, he adjusts as quick as he's found, and once he notices hinata is by him — his personality becomes vibrant, though a little cool as he knows to keep his distance. what gives away his excitement is the way his eyes widen at seeing him, wondering where he's come from, and what he can do. he's used to not talking, so his lips remain sealed shut as he slowly pushes himself off the desk to stare at the other for a moment.

he blinks slow, curious in his silence as if the other is supposed to answer why he's here or, hand something over to komaeda so he can leave. but he doesn't? )

...?

( walking up to him, komaeda places one hand on hinata's hip, patting around in search of something specific like his pda. he's unable to communicate with him, and komaeda recalls giving it to him when he took the brunette's to give to rokkun — he isn't sure if he gave them back or not, but he knows that the other wouldn't lose things that don't belong to him. it takes a bit of patting, his right hand a little slow because of how it heals compared to his prosthetic left. without much care in the world, he even goes to pat hinata on his chest in search of his pda... wondering if he hid it there.

he did forget to pat hinata's pockets, so he opts out by pinching one of the youth's nipples just to request that he hurries it up. )

[Komaeda is lucky, probably, that there's no sound right now, or he'd have to endure all of the yelling and expletives that would be thrown his way. He's glad, at least, that his more embarrassing yelps and - God forbid - squeaks are lost to nothingness. As it is, Hinata flails against him, face completely red, as he tries and fails to knock Komaeda's hands away. He knocks his hand away from his chest with a vicious scowl, but it's spoiled by how flustered Hinata is.

He... hopes Komaeda isn't just feeling him up for no good reason. There must be a reason for it, right...? So he takes a step back and digs into his pockets; the only thing there is his PDA, tho- oh.

Unnecessary. What a pain. All of that for Hinata to give it back when he could've just done that during the day. He snorts, because it's such a Komaeda thing to do, but it's lost to late-night silence. Arching an eyebrow questioningly, he waves the PDA in front of him. This what you're looking for?]

( the moment the pda is shown to him is when he reaches out to take it, he plucks the device from hinata's hands, and he proceeds to check if it's still on properly. it is, having never really cut off so the other could use it as much as he wants — komaeda checks a few things first, looking through some things until he taps his fingers along the screen. he uses his prosthetic for quicker movement, and once he finally has something typed out, he turns the screen towards hinata to see. )

what are you doing here?

( he quirks a brow himself, curious as to what reason hinata has visiting him so late — they can't talk, they're not on the best of terms, and komaeda doesn't think hinata should even be near him. it's just that komaeda making things complicated, but it seems every time hinata tries to take a step forward to better their relationship. it's hard to accept it, when he thinks about it, and he wonders if right now is another one of those times. )

are you lost? i can walk you back if you're scared.

( they are in a world where ghosts exists, and a place where people can die — who knows, if he takes komaeda with him, maybe the lucky student will die himself. )
