I wasn't sure how to go about this one at first, but after some thought (and a little bit of internet research), i believe i've finally come up with a good idea.

Any negative opinions expressed by asshat OC's in this chapter are not my opinions.

This is from Nagito's POV, btw. It's not really stated explicitly a lot so i'm just informing you now.

Let me know what you think. Enjoy :)

START OF CHAPTER:

I've gone on many dates in my life, some more successful then others. But in the end, i've never been lucky at dating.

There would always be something, though. There would always be that one thing about them, that was just unacceptable. Some things that would be an immediate 'when hell freezes over' kind of deal-breaker. Others maybe not as bad, but you just can't see yourself with that kind of person long-term.

Now i recognise that everyone has their quirks, i know i certainly do, so i know no-one's perfect. But sometimes, two people just cannot get along well enough to be friends, let alone lovers.

One previous boyfriend was a little rough with his hands, and no, i don't mean in an intimate way. I mean as in even the simplest gestures and affections felt like he was trying to deliberately bruise me. Now i can't say for sure wether it was in fact on purpose every time, but he never listened to me when i simply asked him politely to watch his strength.

I was always slender and a bit more frail then others, due to being sickly as a child, so i was bruised or hurt easier then most boys my age.

But did he listen? No.

'So what? It's not like i meant it. You're frail anyway.'

That was the paltry excuse i got. Really? As if it was my fault he refused to mind his own strength around me. Needless to say, that relationship didn't last much longer.

Speaking of refusing to listen, that's another bad trait few people have. Some people are stubborn, and yes sometimes two people can have different tastes and opinions. But when one person always refuses to listen to the other, it feels more like a dictatorship then an equal relationship.

'I said this is what we're doing.'

'It's cheaper, so this is where we're going.'

Things like that. People who think their opinion is the only one that matters. It's okay to have your own opinions, but your not the only one in this partnership, you know?

Dates like that never lasted long. I've always tried to be an agreeable person, and sometimes my friends tell me i'm to agreeable, but even i know when enough is enough.

People who can't accept the other's opinion? Yeah, i've met with a few people like that, too. Say, if you like different music types, or one likes reading when the other doesn't. And when the other person is not accepting and can't compromise at all, that's a big 'no'.

One time, a date took me to see a horror movie. Now see, I don't mind the more supernatural horror topics, but more realistic murderer type of films always remind me of a traumatic experience from my childhood.

But the problem was, he took me to see the murderer kind, even after i told him about my horror tastes.

'It doesn't matter, i like them. You can just hold on to me, isn't that what you do on dates?'

That pig-headedness, combined with that fact that he just expected, and basically demanded the affection from me? Yeah, i walked straight out of the movie theatre that day, and i don't regret it.

One big thing that really annoys me though, is when people demand you change who you are. Like they expect you to lose part of yourself just to please them.

'I like _, so you have to as well.'

'I'll only be with you if you act like _.'

'I'm breaking up with you if you won't _.'

Those are only some examples i've heard in my dating experiences. I don't think i have to tell you, but none of them lasted very long with me. Everyone has flaws, and if you can't accept that, then it's your loss i guess.

Another, maybe more minor thing, depending on your opinion, is hygiene.

Now i'm not saying that you have to be absolutely spotless, and pass all the world's military inspections before i'll even look at you. I'm not that snobbish, but come on, some people don't even try.

Some people are busy, and work extremely demanding job, and others maybe might accidentally forget to have a shower one night every once in a while. Whatever it is you forget, at least put in some kind of effort, and not just show up looking and smelling like you just rolled out of a garbage swamp. And if by some dismal chance you do, at least have the decency to look like you care.

Now i have a funny story. I had always been more slender, and i'll admit i'm not the definition of 'manly' that most people think of.

But one date mistook me for a girl. This on it's own wouldn't have been a problem, but then his reaction was just deplorable.

'Ew you're really a guy? I can't believe you tricked me, homo.'

Now see, i had no idea that he didn't know, or else i would have cleared this up as soon as, or even before, the date began. But apparently the idiot had made a profile on the wrong dating site, and somehow thought taking his anger out on me was a good idea.

And the sexuality comment? Yeah, i'm not even going to touch on that. Some people are just ignorant like that, others don't like it because it's different. People have their own beliefs, and that's fine. But there's no reason to be an asshole like that.

What really annoys me about things like that though, my pet peeve, are those few idiots who still but into the whole 'Oh no they're gay, that automatically means they'll sexually assault everyone of their own gender they see'. It's just ridiculous.

But anyway. So the point of this story, is that i've had my fair share of dating failures. So many botched dates, so many unacceptable first meeting and short-lived relationships, that i had honestly almost given up on dating and romance entirely.

That's when i met him. Hajime Hinata.

At first he came off as blunt, almost rudely so. But as i got to know him, i learnt that he was actually very kind, he just had a blunt manner of speaking.

Although he wasn't a Romeo-and-Juliet kind of sappy, he was actually sweet and romantic in his own way. He wasn't afraid to state his own opinion, but he was considerate of what i had to say as well.

Even when i mentioned my sickly state and fortune, he stuck by my side and supported me no matter what. He never asked for my money, in fact he seemed rather hesitant whenever i offered it myself.

Everything i've mentioned so far? Well, he was the opposite. He was kind, considerate, well kept, and basically the best and sweetest boyfriend i could ever ask for.

So here i am now, standing in a jewellery shop, about to make the commitment of a lifetime. Do i want this? Am i ready to ask him a question that could determine the rest of our lives?

Yes. Yes i am.

I may have had a few turn offs over time…

But now i've found a winner, that's for sure.

END OF CHAPTER:

I was this close to turning the ending into another wedding speech chapter, but i didn't want to do the same thing twice.

Okaaaay, so i may have caved and mentioned rings at the end, but i still managed to do something different, so i'm content with what i've written.

I'd like to do sad things, i really would, but i just can't stand my favourite couple not being happy.

Cya next chapter :)
