" o,"

"Komaeda, calm down! Calm down"

"No"

"Calm down we're just trying to help you"

"No!! You can't, my luck will affect you guys if you keep helping me like this, it's too much hope that will lead to despair"

Komaeda POV:

They were now staring at me as if I had grown to heads.

I'm usually used to the look of discomfort, and disappointment, it was their only look I remembered my mother and father giving me before they-

The brunette cut me from my thoughts, "Komaeda! You've lost a lot of blood, you need a blood transfusion right now, the nurse went to- well,"

"Mikan went to get the equipment" Akane eventually explained.

I opened my mouth to say something in protest, why was Mikan wasting her time taking care of trash like me, why was Akane, Hinata and Mikan wasting their time on him. Then Nagito looked at Hinata who was staring at him defiantly as if daring him to say anything else, so Nagito sighed, heavyly and sank into the bed. He would have to repay them, naturally. That was obvious.

He doesn't doubt their choices but something like this never happened before the other ultimates would usually ignore him and leave him to his devices, to deal with his own problems. They normally wouldn't bat an eye at him not that Nagito cared, in fact he favored this outcome, after all, time not spent on him is obviously used on cultivating their talents for more important things.

That's why, despite the ache in his throat. The creaking in his weak knees when he moved, the lingering nausea. He got up. He, Nagito Komaeda only had two real options here, either to go to the hospital or go home and figure this out somehow, maybe by calling his private doctor or figuring it out somehow, if he drank back his blood would he be fine then? He smiled to himself, he probably looked weird. He had to get away, either way. He could see why no one would hang out with him now, not just because of his subpar, useless talent, but well because of himself. Soon the newbie Hinata would also think the same, he would make sure of it. He was going away, well, he tried to get away. But there was a weight on his shoulders that were keeping him in place, probably to keep him from getting out of the bed, when had he closed his eyes? He didn't remember being this weak the pain wasn't that bad, but his gasps kept on coming in short breaths and he was getting more dizzy.

"Don't you even think of getting up from here" Hinata said angrily. But why was he angry? Trash like Komaeda should suffer, and he, well who did he think he was telling him not to stop inconveniencing the other Ultimates.

"And who are you, my mom? Well actually I'd prefer my mom, she would never stop me from leaving the school anyway, probably cause she's dead." Komaeda snapped, he immediately regretted that, not only for oversharing but to talk to and Ultimate, half ultimate, wasn't acceptable behavior. So he bowed, deeply, he didn't care how it hurt his back. Or how to made him so dizzy he could hurl.

A beat of silence.

"I-I'm sorry, I have a headache, It's not an excuse ugh I didn't mean…" he slowly croaked out, he was so thirsty, hot and cold.

"Yeah yeah to inconvenience whatever, look could you please just take a second to look around you"

Nagito paused, he was leaning back up.

"Wait, actually you don't-just lay back down okay please? I'm not a nurse or anything but I can tell that you need some rest right now and help, more than we do so let us take care of you."

Nagito stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say, he wondered briefly if in another world they could've been normal friends, or is it just his muddled brain being an unhelpful dreaming nuisance? Mikan must've decided that that was her time to enter, cause she then asked if Komaeda would accept the blood transfusion.

"Y-y-ou can jjjust get a bit a aand ggggo to the hospital later if you want, but you're not in good health right now so please."

Nagito didn't try to protest this time, he briefly wondered if his luck would be back to bad after this- he was drifting off to sleep now, the last thing he saw was the new boy next to him, Hinata, giving him a thumbs up and an awkward smile, he wondered what his own expression was at that moment as he drifted towards unconsciousness, he wondered if he would have nightmares again.
