This is based on a naegami roleplay my friend and I did

keytotime 

It also helped with my headcanon of Makoto being nothing but cheerful in front of his peers because of his title of ultimate hope.

Also I didn't use the emoji system cause I don't like how it looked so I'm thinking of not using it anymore

My son that is not a good thing-

Anyways, I think this would be like hurt/comfort?

Pairing: as usual Makoto x Byakuya

It's kinda an OTP of mine

This is longer cause I'm trying to make these oneshots as long as my oneshots for Nier automata

—————————————-

Makoto Naegi POV

It was hard, really. I'd promised Byakuya that I'd keep distractions to a minimum, and I had, for the most part. But last night Sayaka and Celeste had won a bet against me and so I had to follow through with my end of the bargain. This could end either very, very, well, or extremely awful.

According to the terms, I had to make a post that would somewhat explain what I felt for him. On top of that, I had to tag him in it to see it. 

   So you know. The stakes were kinda high.

Elegant_Goth: But did you tag him in the photo?
-LuckyDuck: He's literally sitting in front of me rn I don't wanna draw more attention to this-
—Elegant_Goth: I believe he's seen it already.

Music-Pops: Awwww you're so cute together!
-LuckyDuck: we...aren't together though. You know that -_-
—Music-Pops: Aw that's too bad.  ):
  ——LuckyDuck:...did...did you just use a backwards sad face? That's...kinda terrifying

Togami: Why would you post something like this.
-LuckyDuck:...because I thought the photo was cute?
—Togami: Tch. Perhaps you need glasses too.

   "It appears that just a moment without distracting me is too much to ask of you, Naegi."

    I jumped slightly, startled by his sudden remark. "I'm sorry," I said, quickly. "I didn't mean for it to be a distraction to you."

  Byakuya didn't say anything to me, and that, I think, was worse. I mean, I had literally just admitted to him being my crush. Why couldn't he say anything?

   "Besides, if that's the relationship you want, someone has to open your eyes."

  The words hit me like a brick. Of course, he'd reject the half confession. I knew this was bound to happen.

  So why did it hurt so much?

  "A relationship with me would be impossible, even if I weren't utterly disgusted at the thought of dating a commoner like you."

   I...didn't need to hear the rest. The words all meant the same thing anyway, even if they stabbed at different levels of my identity.

But I couldn't stay in the room with him.

Not with the way my heart caught in my throat and the way a pure aching feeling began settling on my shoulders.

    Ducking my head, I said nothing as I swiftly pushed my chair back and ducked out of the room, ignoring Byakuya's questioning glance as I left the room.

  Thankfully the halls were mostly quiet, but I didn't want to have a breakdown in the hallway of all places. Not if I could avoid it.

   So I set off at a half jog, looking for an empty room I could duck inside.

  Nobody needed to see the ultimate hope break down like a child over something so...elementary.

   Someone called after me. It sounded familiar, but I didn't-I couldn't answer them. Not with the state I was in.

  So I turned a corner, not caring where I was going, only thinking to shake off whoever had called out to me.

    Eventually, though, I realized that I'd been running straight into a dead end. Of all the hallways in the school, I just had to run to the one dead end.

   Pausing for a moment, I turned around to listen for pursuing footsteps. Hearing none, I take a shaky breath and slide down to the floor, burying my head in my arms.

That's when the dam broke. My body shook with each heaving sob, and my vision was very quickly blurred.

I hate to admit it, but in that moment, where I was overcome by pain and grief, I hated Sayaka and Celeste for what I'd had to do.

"Naegi, there you are."

Chocking back a sob, I slowly glanced up at whoever had spoken. I knew my eyes were most likely red and puffy, and my vision was still blurred. I had to wipe my eyes.

"What...what are you doing?" I mumbled, looking away. "I'm pretty sure you hate me anyways."

To my surprise, the person didn't move away or even say anything more before they sat down next to me. On the dirty hallway floor, of all places!

  "Don't you have anything better to do?" I muttered, angrily. "Surely the great Byakuya Togami has better things to do than chase down a commoner? One who has no true talent, no real reason to even be at this school?"

  "I do have better things to do, such as rebutting everything you just said. You're no ordinary commoner, and you belong at this school more than anyone else."

    "...more than anyone else...?" I whispered, halfheartedly. "Are you just saying things?"

   He gave a half chuckle. "You should know me well enough to know that I never say anything for the mere purpose of saying anything."

     There was a moment of silence, as I struggled not to bring myself to tears again.

   "Why are you giving me false hope? You...you tore me down in the dorm. I can't...I can't understand you sometimes. Why do you say those things to me if you're not going to stand by them?"

      To my surprise he gave a halfhearted laugh before pulling me into a hug and turning me so that I faced him.

   "My father sees everything I do and say online. As for what I said in the room...I'm sorry."

  I swallowed, my breath hitching in my throat. We were so close...I was certain that he could hear my heartbeat.

   "But...what about your father? What about the tradition you have to uphold?" I asked. "I...I'm not the type of person that you need...or even want, I can't...I can't bear children!"

  Thats when he said something that surprised me.

   "I don't care about any of that, if I can have a future with you, Naegi."

   I gasped, not quite believing what I'd just heard. "Does...does that mean that...?"

   "Yes," he chuckled lightly. "It does," he confirmed, pressing a light kiss to the top of my head.

  We sat there in silence, content just to be in one another's embrace after letting down some of the walls around our hearts.

     "Thank you..."
