This idea had been floating around in my brain for a while, but i wanted to actually write it, so here we go.
Nagito may be a tad OOC, but i just really wanted to use the t-shirt idea. I'll try my best not to stray too far though. It was fun writing him being mildly sassy though, so i hope that makes up for it.
Some are my t-shirts i have irl, others i looked up on the internet to find.
As usual, i own nothing, and enjoy :)
START OF CHAPTER:
Hajime had never understood his boyfriend.
Nagito had never had much of a sense of fashion. Despite having more money then he could ever want at his fingertips, he'd never been into the fancier, more stuffy clothing like he'd seen the son of the Togami's wear.
Even when he'd started dating Hajime, he'd improved marginally, but not much. He'd felt a little guilty about that, but he'd assured the other boy time and time again that what he wore didn't matter, he was only glad to have the paler boys company.
As the weeks of their relationship went by, Nagito had seemed to gain more confidence in himself, which was great. But some days, he could be such a cheeky shit.
Mostly by finding the most sarcastic t-shirts he could and wearing them proudly.
For example…
"Nagito, what on earth are you wearing?"
"…clothes?"
Hajime gave him a deadpan expression.
"Haha, very funny. But seriously, what's with the t-shirt?"
It was a black t-shirt, which amplified his pale skin, and it had red writing that read; 'I don't hold a grudge, you give me a new reason to hate you every day'.
"It's called 'wearing clothes' Hajime."
"Heh, you're lucky i love you, smartass."
Two days later and Hajime was meeting Nagito for a date at a local cafe. Hajime had taken to looking at cafes and choosing whoever ones had more options that weren't sweet. Nagito had protested, saying he didn't have to go to any trouble just for him, but Hajime had shut him up by kissing him. Assuring him that even though he could eat the occasional sweet thing, he wasn't entirely fond of copious amounts of sugar anyway.
(He shuddered, remembering Hiyoko Saionji's last birthday party.)
So anyway, there he was, seated at a table for two, waiting for Nagito to show up.
And sure enough, a few minutes later, in he walks, in all his pale glory. Except…
"Where did you even find that?"
Today's T-shirt selection consisted of a blue shirt, with yellow writing saying 'Everyone is entitled to my opinion'.
"At a second hand store! It's a good place to get clothes you know."
"Yea-huh, like you couldn't afford anything else?"
Nagito had long learnt to ignore Hajime's playful jabs about his money. So the albino just grinned.
"What can i say? I like my clothes comfortable."
Hajime snorted in amusement.
"Yeah, that's a way to put it. So what did you want to eat for lunch?"
Both boys devolved into pleasant conversation.
The next week, they met in front of a second hand store. Nagito asked if Hajime had wanted to know what types of places he found his t-shirts from, and the brunette accepted, actually being curious.
He was entirely unsurprised at what his boyfriend showed up in.
Of course, he was wearing his usual long green jacket. But it was the t-shirt that he was looking at. This one was a brown, with white writing with each letter in a black outline that read out as such: 'It's only illegal if you get caught'.
Heh. Fuyuhiko would be proud. Maybe he should consider getting something like that for the blondes next birthday… the expression and reaction would almost be worth being shot at.
Never mind. Amused, he shook his head, focusing back on Nagito.
They entered the store, and immediately Nagito was tugging him towards the mens t-shirt section.
Within a millisecond of letting go of Hajime's hand, Nagito was rummaging through the racks, shit eating grin on his face.
"This is what you do?"
"Yeah, why?"
With a smile and a shake of his head, Hajime joined Nagito in rummaging through all the t-shirts.
Now, don't get him wrong, Hajime had found some pretty funny t-shirts. But it seemed like Nagito had the knack to pick out the real gems.
Such as:
A white t-shirt that said 'Sarcasm: The body's natural defence against stupid'.
A black t-shirt with white writing that read '1+1=3, if you don't use a condom'.
"Nagito, no."
"Nagito yes."
Hajime groaned, while Nagito laughed, draping it over his arm and going back to looking.
Another black t-shirt that spelt out 'When i said how stupid can you be? It wasn't a challenge'.
A yellow shirt with black writing that read 'You can't face the problem if the problem is your face' in black writing.
And finally, a black t-shirt that in white writing said 'That's a stupid idea… what time?'.
"How on earth do you find these?"
Nagito just giggled, now holding a pile of shirts in his arms. He looked so adorable in that moment, that Hajime just didn't have it in him to argue further.
He'd gone back the next day, just to try and prove a point, but to his dismay, not a single sarcastic shirt in sight.
How the fuck did Nagito find them?
The next day after that, Nagito, going to a handful of stores across town, had come back grinning with an armful of t-shirts.
Hajime officially gave up on understanding how in the hell Nagito always managed to find the damn things.
…
But, Nagito's love of sarcastic t-shirts didn't just stop at himself, as he soon discovered.
He was a little sceptical when he said he wanted to get a separate gift for his friend Kazuichi's birthday, but was mostly reassured when he went on to explain that he'd found something that he thought was suitable, and wanted it to be a surprise.
That reassurance, however, was dashed when that was followed by 'and you're reaction will be as equally amusing'. I mean, he knew Nagito wouldn't do anything too stupid or reckless, but what on earth was he planning?
The answer, he really should have seen coming.
What Kazuichi actually ended up unwrapping, was a lime green t-shirt, two wrenches crossed in the middle, with red writing above and below it, the top part said; 'i'm a mechanic, of course i'm crazy' then below the wrenches 'Do you think a sane person would do this job?'.
Goddamit Nagito…
But Kazuichi thankfully wasn't too offended. He actually laughed, saying he loved the shirt's humour.
Among the friend group, Nagito eventually would become infamous for this. Both giving and wearing sarcastic t-shirts constantly, and everyone was amused.
…
His biggest risk though, was when he gave Mahiru a t-shirt that read 'take a picture, it'll last longer'. Given Mahiru's temper, especially towards males, at the time everyone had paused, almost anticipating her to either blow up at Nagito or dismiss the present entirely.
But to everyones relief and surprise, she had merely laughed, saying 'You've got guts Nagito, i applaud both your bravery and your humour'.
…
Take the next date they went on for example. He'd shown up in a red t-shirt with white writing that read 'id agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong'.
Hajime, both exasperated and amused, had just chuckled and greeted his boyfriend.
And this cycle continued.
And continued.
And continued.
But still, Hajime wouldn't have him any other way.
END OF CHAPTER:
That's right, i somehow managed to make an entire chapter out of sarcastic t-shirts. I don't know if i'm more amused or proud of myself for pulling it off.
Cya next chapter :)
